Summary: A new member to the Apple family is on the way after Rainbow and Caramel find out she’s expecting.

Chapter One: A Visit To The Doctor & A Visit From A Sister

Caramel held his fiance’s hoof, anxiously awaiting the results of the test. Rainbow had not been feeling well the last few weeks. At first they thought it was a cold, but it didn’t get better. In fear that she might be really sick, Caramel insisted that she go to see his older unicorn brother, Stable Condition.

In what felt like hours but in all actuality was just a few minutes Stable returned with the results and a smile on his face.

“Caramel, I must ask that you leave the room for a moment for Rainbow’s confidentiality.” He said.

The younger brother gave his fiancé a reassuring pat on the back and a hug before leaving the room.

“So Stable, how bad is whatever I got?” Rainbow asked trying to remain calm though she was a nervous wreck.

“Rainbow, nothing is wrong with you! In fact, I owe you a congratulations!” the older brother congratulated.

“For what exactly?” Rainbow asked her fiance’s brother. Is it that I’m not sick? Nah, that doesn’t sound right…

“You’re going to be a mom in about ten months!” he cheered, answering Rainbow’s in mind question.

“That means…” she started before shrieking in excitement.

“Rainbow what’s going on? What’s with the screaming?” the caramel brown earth pony questioned as he ran into the room.

Rainbow ran up to him and gave him a giant bear hug.

“I’m pregnant” she said softly, tears of joy rolling down her cheeks.

“What, that’s great Dashie!” he cheered, returning the hug to his fiancé.

He then turned to his brother and thanked him for seeing them. Stable gave them a few pregnancy pamphlets and a prescription for special vitamins for the soon to be mom. After getting the prescription filled, the couple walked back to Caramel’s apartment.

LATER THAT NIGHT

Rainbow saw herself saw herself as a foal being put into the box that she was found in by Rose all those years ago. But suddenly the mare became visible. It was her! She was putting her foal in the “Give To Good Home” box just as her birth mom did with her. The foal cried and cried but she was gone and the foal was all alone.

Rainbow woke up in a cold sweat, arousing her fiancé.

“Dash, you ok?” the chocolate brown maned stallion asked.

“Yeah, just a bad dream.” She replied before silently continuing, I hope.

Ding-dong!

The doorbell rang.

“I’ll get it!” Rainbow said as she went to answer the door.

She opened it to reveal her sister, Apple Jack, who was wearing an expression of deep concern.

“Hey, AJ! Why don’t you come in for a minute?” the cyan pegasus greeted.

“How ya feelin’, Sugercube?” the orange mare asked as she stepped inside, the concern very evident in her voice, “Ah heard ya haven’t been feelin’ too good.”

“Never better!” Rainbow replied.

“Are ya sure? Ah heard ya went ta see Stable yesterday and screamed when ya got the results.” she asked again if nothing more than to confirm.

“Yes, I did scream but that’s because I felt lighter than air after I got them.” Rainbow said chuckling.

“Wait, wha-” Apple Jack started before her rainbow maned sister interrupted her

“AJ, you’re going to be an aunt.” Rainbow said calmly but happily.

It took a millisecond to put the pieces together.

“Rainbow, Ah’m so happy for you and Caramel!” AJ congratulated.

“Me and Caramel were going to head over to tell the family after he got off from work. We were a little worried about how Big Mac was going to react, though.” the mother to be admitted.

“Ah won’t tell em, ya’ll have ta do that. Don’t worry bout Big Mac, though. He’s gonna be excited to be an uncle and he trusts Caramel ta take care of ya.” her orange companion assured her, “Wait it is Caramel, isn’t it?”

“AJ!” Rainbow Dash chastised her sister.

“Sorry, but I just wanna make sure.” The orange work pony replied, “Big Mac will just be super excited ta have a niece or nephew.

“Great, now AJ if you could excuse me for a minute.” Rainbow said before rushing over to the bathroom and more specifically, the toilet where she emptied her breakfast.

“Sugercube, ya ok?” AJ asked between the sounds of Rainbow retching.

About a minute later the mare exited the bathroom

“Yeah, I’m fine. That just means the foal’s developing properly.” the said pegasus replied.

“Ya sure?” her orange sister asked again just to make sure.

“Yes, I’m sure” the mother to be replied.

“Would ya like some company while Caramel is at work?” her companion offered.

“Yes, Yes, I would. It’s been a long time since we could talk by ourselves.” the cyan mare agreed, “How are you and Soarin’ doing?”

“Pretty good except Ah barely get ta see him ‘cause of his job.” AJ replied.

“I’m almost 100% sure his contract is the only thing that is keeping you two apart and the first chance he gets he’ll stay for good. You two were meant for each other!” Rainbow assured her.

“You’re probably right ‘bout that.” the orange mare agreed with her sister, “He’s visitin’ in a few days by the way.”

“I bet you’re excited to see him again, aren’t you AJ?” Rainbow asked her softly.

“Ya can read me like an open book, Rainbow.” AJ said with a sigh and a soft chuckle, "Yeah, Ah am."

Chapter Two: Big News For The Apple Family

“Ya said ya had somethin’ ta tell us, Rainbow.” Big Mac said curiously.

“Yeah, I do.” Rainbow Dash said nervously, "This time next year I'll be a mom."

"Ya mean ta tell us that your fiancé got ya pregnant." Big Mac said dryly.

Rainbow only nodded.

"Ah need ta talk ta him." he said before heading off to Caramel's place of work.

"Well that went better than expected." the cyan mare in response to her older brother's sudden departure.

"CARAMEL, YA HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" the large red stallion called out as he searched for the Equestrian Guard stationed in Ponyville

"Yes, Big Mac." the caramel brown stallion replied as he came foreward.

"It is my understanding that ya got ma little sister with child. Ah really just wanted ta make sure the wedding happens before then." the grown stallion said, trying his hardest to stay calm.

"Yes, she is due in about ten months and our wedding is scheduled in nine months." he replied calmly.

THREE DAYS LATER

"AJ, my last show is next week," Soarin' told his girlfriend, AJ, "and I was wondering if my fiance would come to watch."

He then pulled out a jewerly box. AJ knew what this meant.

"Apple Jack, will you make me the happiest stallion alive? Will you marry me?" the light blue stallion asked as he showed the engagement necklace in the box..

"Of course Ah will, Sugarcube!" the orange mare said, accepting the necklace, before giving him a loving nuzzle ang hug.

The sound of hooves beating on the door woke Rainbow Dash up this particular morning. She grumbled as she walked over to the door.

She opened the door to see her sister wearing the biggest smile she had ever seen.

"He proposed!" AJ squealed excitedly.

"Really! That's wonderful, AJ!" Rainbow congratulated her sister enthusiastically, though tired.

“Ah would have waited till morning ta tell ya but Ah couldn’t wait ta tell ya!” AJ apologized.

“No biggie, AJ. In case you forgot, I pulled the same thing on you when Caramel proposed. But would it be ok if we waited till tomorrow to celebrate. I’m sure Pinkie will throw you a wedding shower just as she will probably throw a baby/wedding shower for me.” Rainbow said calmly but obviously tiredly.

“Sure, Sugarcube! Let’s meet at our tree tomorrow at nine.” AJ agreed.

The two then parted ways. Or, well, they were GOING to part ways but the second Rainbow closed the door, Apple Jack was on her knees hurling. Rainbow opened the door.

“Sweet Celestia Above.” she mumbled under her breathe before helping her sister inside to the bathroom.

After AJ emptied everything in her stomach and then some, Rainbow insisted that she sit down for a few minutes. She checked AJ’s temperature but she was fine.

“You don’t seem sick and that’s good.” Rainbow sighed before sitting in the seat across from her sister, “So now tell me, what was that about?”

“Ah don’t know.” she replied.

’Hmm…’Rainbow thought to herself, ’If I hadn’t learnt that it was pregnancy, I would say she caught what I had. Wait, that’s it!’

“AJ, were you and Soarin’ intimate last time he was here?” she asked in an all too serious tone that told AJ her sister was doing nothing more being than a caring family member who wanted to help make sure she was ok.

“Yes” the orange mare replied, blushing profusly.

“Well, what did he say?” Rainbow asked her sister as she and Soarin’ left Dr. Stable’s office.

“In ten months me an’ Soarin’ will be parents, too.” she said, still stunned from the news.

“Hey, don’t look so down AJ! We were planning foals of our own someday! True, it’s earlier than we would like but it’s our foal in there!” Soarin’ said in an attempt to cheer up his wife to be.

“Yeah, Ah know but Rainbow’s gonna have hers about the same time and Ah wanted to be there for her.” AJ said calmly.

“Don’t sweat it AJ!” Rainbow said with her silly, toothy grin, “Now I do believe Big Mac shall want to know about this.”

“You’re right! We should be gettin’ so we can tell him before he finishes his lunch! Come on Soarin’!” AJ said as the realization of what happened dawned on her before grabbing Soarin' by the mane and running towards Sweet Apple Acres.

"Good luck with Big Mac!" Rainbow called out after her sister.

Yes, I added a whole new twist to the story by making AJ expecting too!

Chapter Three: Telling The Mane Six

After Rarity got her big break in fashion world and moved to Canterlot, Fluttershy was asked to watch over the Canterlot Gardens and Twilight became a teacher at Celestia’s School, the friends barely ever all got together. They now only did it every three months. Each time the Ponyville group would go to Canterlot or visa versa. This time the Canterlot group was coming.

Woo! Woo!

A shrill whistle broke the air flow as the train came into the station. Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy were surprised to find that only Pinkie was waiting for them.

“Hey Pinkie, where’s Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked as the trio approached the bouncy pink pony.

“I Pinkie Pie promised that I’d let them tell you guys about it when they’re done. They said they would meet us at Sugarcube Corner in a half an hour!” Pinkie replied with her usual toothy grin.

“Why don’t we head over there then?” Rarity suggested.

“Okie dokie lokie!” the exuberant mare exclaimed.

HALF AN HOUR LATER

Ring a ding ding!

The bell on the door to Sugarcube Corner rung as two mares, one cyan, the other orange, entered the cupcake shaped bakery. Their friends were there waiting for them.

“Hi girls!” The cyan pegasus greeted her friends as she and her orange companion sat down, “Me and AJ both have really big news to tell you.”

Everypony could tell both mares were nervous. Apple Jack was clearly nauseous. Her cheeks were getting greener by the second. Rainbow Dash was obviously exhausted but that could very well be she didn't take a nap like she normaly did.

“Really? What?” Rarity asked.

“Me and Soarin’ got engaged!” AJ exclaimed excitedly, instantly wishing she hadn't as it became ten times harder to keep her lunch down.

“That’s wonderful!” Rarity congratulated.

“Rainbow, didn’t you say you also had some news? Does it have anything to do with your and Caramel’s wedding date?” Twilight asked.

“We have a date but that’s not my big news.” the cyan pegasus replied, “I’m pregnant.”

“Really! I’m so happy for you and Caramel!” Fluttershy said in an excited but shushed voice.

Suddenly the nausea got the better of AJ and she ran over to the restroom. Her friends heard her retching and ran over to the stall to see what the matter was.

“What’s wrong with AJ?” Twilight asked.

“I’m not the only expecting mother in Ponyville.” Rainbow answered.

“Wait what does that have to do with… oh.” Rarity started only to have the realization of it coming down on her.

After AJ was done balling her innards out, the friends spent the next several hours excitedly discussing the plans for the two upcoming weddings.

“I can’t wait for your wedding next month, AJ!” Pinkie cheered excitedly.

“I think I’ll stay in Ponyville until your wedding.” Twilight said calmly. It was summer and Twilight did not need to stay in Canterlot.

“Me too,” Rarity added, “my boutique in Canterlot can wait.”

“I wish I could” Fluttershy spoke sadly.

“It’s ok, we know you’ll be there for both of the weddings.” Rainbow told her.

The friends bid Fluttershy farewell as she boarded the train back to Canterlot before heading to their homes.

I know it wasn’t much of an ending of a chapter or even much of a chapter in general but I needed the rest of their friends to find out somehow. I think the next two chapters will be the weddings. I’m going to completely skip the wedding showers and get right to them walking down the aisle. I know this chapter kinda sorta sucks so please review if you have any ideas to make it better! Also, if you can think of any apple related colt names send me a message because I can’t think of any and at least one of the foals will be a colt. Also should RD & Caramel’s foal or AJ & Soarin’s foal be a pegasus? Maybe both or niether? Maybe a unicorn? Nah, I'm just pullig your leg about a unicorn... Or am I?

Chapter Five: Mean Mares and Baby Preparations

A few weeks had passed since AJ's wedding and their two unicorn friends had since returned to Canterlot. AJ and Rainbow were enjoying lunch at a small cafe.

"Hey, Rainbow," AJ said in an attempt to draw her attention, "Ah just realized neither of us have prepared a nursery and, as far as Ah know, neither of us have thought of names yet."

"And..." Rainbow asked, unsure of what her sister and best friend was trying to tell her.

"Do Ah have to spell it out to ya, Rainbow! We're gonna be mommas to foals of our own in less than seven months! We need ta-"

Suddenly, a pair of mares seated at the table next to them started snickering and pointing at their growing abdomens.

"Just ignore them, sis." RD reminded her sister.

"Right. As I was saying, we need ta be gettin' ready for when the little bundles of joy arrive." her orange companion continued.

"Well, how about we go to get an appointment with Stable, then? We need to know genders before we can choose colors and names." Rainbow suggested.

"Sure, why not?" her tangerine sister obliged.

Fifteen minutes later, both sisters found themselves in the ultrasound room. Stable Condition had a free schedule for the rest of the afternoon so he was more than happy to see them. AJ had gone first.

"Hmm... Ok see that." Stable said as he pointed to something that looked like a leg, but wasn't.

"It's a earth colt!" AJ reiterated.

"I guess that means a Soarin' colored nursery!" Rainbow joked, earning a grin from her sister.

"Now you climb up, Rainbow." the caramel unicorn told his soon to be sister in law.

A powder chocolate aura surrounded both his horn and her baby bump. A new image replaced AJ's. Three individual blobs could clearly be identified.

"Is that..." Rainbow said as she stared at the screen.

"Yes, Rainbow, it would appear as though you're having triplets." Stable finished her previously started thought, "It also appears as though you're having an earth colt, pegasus filly and an unicorn filly."

"That's great, Rainbow! But how will you fit three foals in that little apartment?" her sister questioned.

"I don't know, but I'm going to have to find a way." the cyan pegasus replied, "I think our first stop should be telling the guys."

Five months had now passed since Rainbow had found out she was with foal, meaning their were only five months left till her expected due date and only four months till the wedding.

The now heavily pregnant Rainbow Dash and was enjoying a romantic dinner for two with her caramel brown earth stallion fiancé at "Le Hoofe" to celebrate the first time they had met five years ago.

Suddenly, her cellphone vibrated in her purse. She had gotten a text from Soarin'.

"She just had our little colt! It's 5 months too early! They say he'll be fine in a few days but I'm worried! Please meet us at the hospital in room 108 in 5 minutes." the text read.

"Caramel, I need to go! AJ just had her colt five months premature and their in the hospital!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Kay RD. I'll pay and meet you over their in a few." Caramel replied.

And with that, Rainbow left the table and walked away from the restaurant towards the hospital.

Five minutes later, Rainbow Dash found herself walking into the hospital room of her sister.

"Hey, AJ" the cyan blue pegasus greeted calmly as she walked into the hospital room.

AJ put down the book she was reading and looked at her sister.

"Thanks for comin'! Where's Caramel?" her sister questioned.

"We were at dinner when we got the text from Soarin' so he offered to pay and then meet up with us here." she replied, "So, where is this new nephew of mine? And where's your stallion?"

AJ lifted a little sleeping bundle from the clear crib on the of the bed. His coat was light blue like his father's and his mane was blonde like his mother's.

"His name is Jonathan Apple." AJ told her sister, "Soarin' went back to Sweet Apple Acres to get the rest of the family."

"I know five months early is very premature, are you sure he'll be ok?" the blue pegasus asked.

"He'll be right as rain in a few days, Sugarcube. He'll just be a bit on the smaller side." her orange companion replied.

A/N: Sorry it took so long! I wanted to do more with the mean mares but all my bully encounters end in ignore the bully so I didn't know what to do. Sorry about there also only one name revealed but next chapter you'll learn the others. Oh yes, and I bet at least one reader is questioning the idea of having a unicorn in the story with some basic idea of pony genetics having been emphasized. Its the idea of having recessive traits. I'm using unicorn as the recessive trait. We don't know Rainbow's family so we are allowed to make wild guesses and it's rather obvious that if Stable is a unicorn that unicorn genetics are in the family. I will get the next chapter done as soon as possible and post it soon after.

Chapter Six: Screaming in a White Gown

“Ya ready for this, Sugarcube?” AJ asked her sister.

A sparkling green dress was worn on her orange body along with her hat.

“Ready as I’ll ever be.” the rainbow maned pegasus replied nervously.

A beautiful veil sat on her mane. Unlike usual, her mane was all tucked into a high bun. A lovely white dress was being worn by said pegasus. It was well hidden by the dress, but the large baby bump was still visible. Even Rarity couldn't completely hide the lives growing inside of the bride.

“Don’t worry, this your special day! Just relax and ya will be fine!” the orange mare calmed her.

“Thanks for being there for me, AJ. It really means a lot.” the cyan pegasus thanked her sister.

“Don’t mention it, Sugarcube! Now come on, ya have a stallion waitin’ for you!” her companion told her.

Granny Smith stood there waiting to walk her grandfilly down the aisle. As Rainbow walked, Fluttershy’s bird choir sang the Bridal Chorus. The wedding party consisted of Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, AJ, Fluttershy, AB, Big Mac, Stable, Noteworthy, Shining Armor, Lucky and Spike.  At the end of the aisle was a carmel brown earth pony with a chocolate brown mane. Her soon-to-be husband, Caramel.

"Do you, Rainbow Dash Apple, promise to love and cherish Caramel as long as you both shall live?" the sun princess asked the cyan pegasus just as she had done for the element of honesty eight months earlier.

"I do" the cyan weather manager replied.

"And do you, Caramel, promise to love and cherish Rainbow Dash Apple as long as you both shall live?" the off pink princess then asked her forgetful guard.

"I do" the groom replied.

"Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." the princess said, concluding the ceremony.

As the newly weds' lips met,Rainbow felt a small leak of liquid under her dress. At first, she was very confused until she felt a large pull in her lower abdomen.

She leaned over to her husband's ear and whispered four words that made all the difference, "My water just broke."

Upon hearing those words he hollered loud enough for everyone in the chapel to hear, "CODE BLUE! I REPEAT CODE BLUE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"

It all happened so fast. Rainbow was levitated into a wheelchair Twilight had brought just in case of this event. Before she even had a moment to process what was going on, she was being wheeled into the maternity ward and being helped into a bed. She had been nearly fully dilated. AJ, AB, Big Mac, Caramel, and Granny Smith stood by, giving her encouraging words. Stable stood at the foot of the bed doing one of his jobs as one of the few doctors in Ponyville.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room several vulgar screams coming from the ward were heard by the wedding party and the rest of the bride and groom's family. About an hour later, the screaming stopped and all that could be heard was three soft cries.

"You can come in now if you want." Stable said as he poked his head through the door.

The large party followed the doctor through the doors to the room where Rainbow and her foals were resting. The colt was in his dad's forelegs, the two fillies in their mom's and all three foals were wrapped in a blanket that depicted their gender. The colt looked just his father but with his mother's rose irises. The filly on Rainbow's left had her mother's blue coat and light build with her father's brown mane and cerulean eyes. The filly on her right had a horn visible on her forehead. She had her dad's brown coat and blue eyes with her mom's multi-colored strands and light build.

"What are their names, Rainbow?" Twilight asked her friend.

"This little fella's name is Oliver Apple." Caramel said as he slightly raised his son for the world to see.

"This little speedster is Pixie Crunch Apple." Rainbow then continued, gently pulling in what everypony presumed was a pegasus to give her a nuzzle.

"And this little filly is Annie Elizabeth Apple." she then continued again, repeating the action with the infant unicorn.

"I'm so happy for you two!" Pinkie Pie said as she bounced around gleefuly.
