Consequences 2: The choice.

Chapter Eight.

Sunset poked her head out of the blankets of her bed as she heard the alarm clock on her dresser going off. Pinkie laid underneath her as they both had fallen asleep together as the alarm blared out it’s annoying beeping Sunset laid her head back down onto Pinkie's chest. Pinkie patted her on the back of the head saying to her as she Sunset groaned in annoyance.

“Come on honey we need to get up to take a shower and to get ready for Rainbow and Rarity. They will be here in about an hour give or take if Rainbow isn’t the one driving that is.”

“Do we have too, Pinkie?” Sunset playfully whimpered. “I would so much rather stay here with you under the covers in bed than have to get up and get dressed again.”

Pinkie grinned at the notion of staying in bed with Sunset yet, taking a quick glance at the clock on the dresser which read 2:30pm she sighed as she said to Sunset softly.

“Let me up honey, I need to use the bathroom and you and I do need to get up now.”

Letting out a sigh Sunset made a half pouty face as she got up out of bed then walked over to the alarm clock that, was still bleeping out it’s annoying sound. Picking up the clock Sunset rotated it upside down until she saw the battery port to it. Flicking the port open she took out the battery and set it back down saying as she let out another sigh.

“Ah peace and quiet, thank Luna’s mane it is quite in here now.”

Sunset turned to face her bedroom door While Pinkie slid her body off the bed landing on all fours on the bedroom floor. Turning around Sunset let out a childs like giggle when she saw Pinkie on the bedroom floor looking more like a playful dog than her actual girlfriend. Turning back to the door she reached out for the handle of it to open the door when she heard a loud ‘bang’ coming from the downstairs area.  Sunset  closed her eyes then let out a soft sigh as she thought to herself.

“It is nothing to worry about just the door down stairs nothing at all. That noise neighbor isn’t trying to get into our house again. Calm down Sunset, calm down.”

As Sunset turned the doorknob to open her bedroom door with Pinkie standing naked behind her they both heard the front door open then slam shut. Rose Cherries voice could be heard coming from the downstairs area of the house as Sunset and Pinkie both looked at each other.

“Sunset, Pinkie I’m home. I have some company with me that would like to talk with you.”

Rose turned to Celestia and Red as she said to them both after calling out to Sunset and getting no reply from her.

“If you two will enter the living room please? I will be back down in just a second I need to go see if those two are still here.”

“Of course Rose we will wait for you. Besides we also want to chat with you about what you said to us during our run today.” Celestia replied kindly to Rose.

“Yes I think hearing that the end of all creation and existence is indeed something that government needs to be made aware of. Yet I will hold off until Sunset has had a chance to tell us what is going on.”

Rose headed upstairs found Sunset as Sunset poked her head out of her bedroom door Rose came around the corner. Sunset looked at her mother with a questionable look on her face as Rose said to her gently.

“Sunset honey, you really should be getting ready Rainbow and Rarity will be here in less than two hours.”

“Uh who is down stairs, you called out to us saying that you have company here so uh, who is down stairs?” Sunset replied as she looked at her Rose with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, just Celestia and Red whom by the way they would like to talk with you, that is if that is OK with you honey. Now why don’t you go hop into the shower with Pinkie and I will entertain them until you get out just don’t take to, long honey.” Rose replied with a wink causing Sunset to blush.

Turning around Rose headed back down stairs as Sunset and Pinkie both headed into the bathroom to take their afternoon shower together. After closing the door of the bathroom Sunset said to Pinkie who wrapped her arms around Sunset’s still mostly swollen belly pulling her into her and lightly kissing her on the neck.

“I hope you don’t mind Celestia and Red being here today honey. I guess they have something they want to talk with us about. Although I am not sure what it is though but, let's get ourselves ready then we can see what they want to chat about.”

“No of course not it is always good to see those two.”

“Ok let's take our shower then get dressed and go find out what those two want.”

A half hour later Pinkie and Sunset climbed out of the shower each drying the other off and wrapping towels around the other. As they both walked out of the bathroom Rose called up to them.

“Pinkie, Sunset, would you two like some tea or coffee while we meet with Celestia and Red?”

Sunset called back down to Rose as they each got started to get dressed.

“Yeah that sounds lovely mother and thank you.”

Pinkie stopped getting dressed for a minuted when Sunset turned her back to her as she saw four small bumps protruding from the top and lower parts of her shoulder blades. Reaching out she laid her hand on Sunsets left shoulder blade right where the first bump was. It felt boney and hard as she pressed into it Sunset closed her eyes saying while Pinkie slowly traced the bump with her fingers.

“I was so hoping you wouldn’t find those.”

“What are they from honey?” Pinkie replied removing her hand from Sunsets shoulder and turning her girlfriend around so their eyes locked on each other.

Sunset tried to look away but, stopped when Pinkie laid her hand onto the right side of her cheek saying to her softly.

“Don’t do this honey, don’t shut me out if you're hurting I want to know so that I can help you.”

Looking back at Pinkie Sunset closed her eyes as she said to her while taking a hold her by the waist and hugging her tightly in her arms.

“You can’t help me Pinkie, not this time. I am not hurting honey but, you can’t be apart of what is going to happen.”

“I don’t understand Sunny what is going to happen and why do you have those bumps on your back. What are they? They felt like…..like bone, almost as if they are what is left of your wings wings when you went all she-demon on us at the Fall Formal.”

“I don’t want to talk about it right now honey, please just drop it. I want to go down see what Celestia and Red want then try to enjoy the rest of our day together with Rainbow and Rarity.”

“Honey I….”

“ENOUGH!” Sunset snapped out angrily.

Seeing the hurt look in Pinkie's eyes Sunset looked away from her as she grabbed her shirt that was lying her on her bed. Slipping it on she headed for the bedroom door stopping in the threshold of the door to look over her left shoulder at Pinkie. Pinkie remained where she was she had a blank almost non existent look on her face. As she blinked a few times letting Sunset’s harsh word settle into her brain as she heard Sunset say to her while watching her walk out of the bedroom.

“I am sorry I snapped at you like that, but this time you must for our relationship do as I ask and stay out of this.”

Sunset disappeared from sight as she headed down stairs leaving Pinkie to finish getting dressed alone. Once Pinkie came back to her senses she grabbed her pants that were also sitting on Sunsets bed slipped them on and headed down stairs as well. As she got into the living room she found Sunset sitting on a chair with her arms folded under her chest and a angry look plastered on her face. Pinkie took a spot on the couch next to Celestia and Red. As she sat down on the couch Red said to Rose Cherry who was just coming into the living room with a tray full of tea cups and a tea kettle in her hands.

“So what we wanted to talk to your daughter about is we are that is Tia and I are wondering Rose would you be opposed to us asking Sunset a certain question?”

Rose looked from Sunset who still had a angry look on her face and her arms folded under her chest then back to Red as she said to her.

“Depends on the question I guess.”

“Ok, Sunset Tia and I are wondering if you would take it upon yourself to become the godmother to our child.”

Before Sunset could answer Rose set the tea ketle down and took Red gently by her arm leading her to the front door. Opening the door she and Red stepped outside leaving Pinkie, a very confused Sunset and Celestia all in the living room together. Shutting the door Rose said to Red in a half confused voice.

“I thought you wanted to know what I meant by the end of all existence and creation Red. And what’s with this asking my daughter to be the godmother to your child?”

Red blushed as she took Rose by the hand and placed it over her stomach saying to her with a happy smile on her face.

“We found out today that I am with child, You see even though it has only been a few days since Sunset got back from Equestria. Tia and I have been secretly dating for much longer than that. And well we both wanted to have children brought into our relationship. Yet because we are both fully grown women we don’t have the means to produce a child naturally. So we went to a lab and had it done there. Tia can’t have children of her own so I will be carrying the child to full term. I never meant in any way to bring offense to you or too Sunset by asking this of her Rose.”

Rose smiled happily to Red as she said to her with a wide grin on her face.

“I am sure Sunset will be more than willing to say yes, but you need to include Pinkie in this as well. Other wise I know my daughter will say ‘no’ to you both.”

Red looked down at Rose’s hand still on her stomach as she said to her while Rose removed her hand and was about to head back inside the house.

“You're absolutely right Rose I should have also asked Pinkie as well. I will do that once we get back inside.”

Opening the front door Red and Rose found Sunset, Pinkie and Celestia all in the foyer hugging each other as she heard both Pinkie and Sunset say in unison.

“Yes of course we will be the godmothers to your child.”

Looking to Red, Rose Cherry smirked as she said to her friend who stood next to her with a bewildered look on her face.

“Well I take it there is no need to ask Pinkie any more because Red my dear friend it looks like you have your answer. They both want to do this for you and I and I for one can’t think of two more beautiful or gracus godmothers to your child or children for that matter as my two beautiful daughters.”

“There is however one condition to this you two.” Celestia chimed in as she ended the warm embrace she got from both Pinkie and Sunset.

“Name it Principal Celestia.” Sunset said with a wide happy smile on her face.

“You two don’t tell any and I do mean ANY of your friends about this just yet. You see Red and I want to tell them at a special dinner we would like to invite you two too. One that will be held at my home in three days that is if that is alright with you two that is.”

“That sounds like a wonderful idea, I will make every effort to keep Pinkie here from spilling the hay and flowers on this Celestia.” Sunset replied.

Rose laughed lightly to herself as Pinkie crossed her arms under her chest and puffed out her cheeks in annoyance to Sunset.

“Hey I can keep a secret just as well as you can Sunny.”

Just as Rose was about to chime into the conversation a loud ‘HONK’ was heard from outside and lots of swearing and cursing could also be heard. Sunset face palmed herself as Pinkie rolled her eyes and shook her head saying just as a soft knock came to the front door.

“Sounds like Rainbow was driving again.”

“When is Rarity going to learn NOT to let Rainbow drive. I know those two are starting to date each other and while I am so very happy for them I think Rainbow needs to cool it with the driving and the swearing too.” Red said as she opened the front door to greet Rarity.

Rarity looked at Red with a confused look on her face as both Sunset and Pinkie moved into the living room out of her line of sight. As Rarity stood there in the doorway Red glared at her saying to her sternly.

“Yes may I help you young lady?”

“Darling I am sorry to bother you, but I was under the impression that a Sunset Shimmer and Pinkamena Dian Pie lived here with a Rose Cherry. I think I might have the wrong address I will leave you be again I am sorry to have bothered you.”

As Rarity turned to leave Red reached out grabbed onto her and picked her up off the ground turning around she set Rarity down in the foyer shutting the door with her foot. Rarity shot Red a look of both anger and shock as Sunset and Pinkie could be heard laughing in the living room. Looking at Red then over towards the living room Rarity exclaimed as she threw up her arms and waved them about wildly.

“You two are going to give me a heart attack one of these days. I mean really to make me think I had the wrong address and then to hide on me is MOST unlady like of both of you two. Now come on we have a nice dinner to go to and I really don’t want to leave Rainbow alone in my car for too long. Last time I did that she changed all my music stations and reset the clock in the……..”

BEEEEP.

“Car.” Rarity finished saying as she placed a hand over the bridge of her nose and shook her head.

Grabbing the door handle in her right hand and tearing the door open she stomped off outside to her car. Fully leaving Sunset and Pinkie holding themselves while they both laughed themselves to near crying. Looking at Pinkie as she wiped a tear from her eyes Sunset said to her while wiping away her own happy tears.

“Come on Pinkie we better get out there before those two wind up tearing each other apart.”

Pinkie grinned as she and Sunset both headed outside. A few minutes later after Rarity had calmed down and Rainbow and her switched seats Rarity pulled out of the drive way and the small group was seen heading down the street toward their dinner. Leaving Red and Celestia in Rose Cherries living room saying to Rose as Red sat back down on the couch.

“Now that those two are gone we can talk about what you said to us earlier today on our morning run.”

Rose sighed then walked over to the living room window looked out of it and said to Red and Celestia who was like Red sitting down on the couch.

“Sunset has been having nightmares of her….sister Sunrise. Scitails is coming with him he will bring a book that has the power to end this world, Equestria and Tartarus all at the same time. Portals leading to each world will open and act as what you call black holes fully destroying everything in their path. The only way to save this world, Tartarus and Equestria is to either……. kill…..the one that cast that spell. Or….to let that one banish either herself or himself to the nether realm for ever. Sunrise is able to read the words of that book but it is her sister my daughter that can actually coherently speak them. It is not enough the be able to just read them you have to actually speak them aloud and fully understand them as well.”

Red and Celestia both glanced at each other as they each got up from the couch Red said to Rose as she walked over to her laying a gentle hand on her shoulder.

“We will find a way to help Sunset through this Rose. I promise you this.”
