Scootaloo's Story

April Showers lay in bed on a stormy night,waiting for her husband,Wind Storm,to come back home.She was eleven months pregnant,and was expecting her baby to come any day now.

She heard a knock at the door.She got out of bed,and opened the door.

There was a stallion of brown,with a black mane.He had a grimm look on his face,with a black tuxedo,and a black hat on.His emerald green eyes almost shined in the moonlight.

"Ma'am.I am sorry to tell this sad news,but I'm afraid your husband Wind Storm,died of an accident,causing him to crash into another pony,whilst flying,and falling to his-well you know."

April gasped,and you could see tears streaming down her face.She needed to stop,so she wouldn't stress the baby out.

"Have a blessed night ma'am."Said the stallion,as he slowly walked away from their cloud house.

*later that night*

It was 3:00A.M.,and April was feeling contractions."You were supposed to be coming in another week!"April rushed out of the door,wishing her husband was hear to(try to)comfort her right now.

"Thank Celestia there's a hospital above the clouds!"April made her way into the hospital.Nurse Snow Heart was at the counter,awaiting any ponies to come and tell her their problems.

"Nurse!I'm*gasp*in labor!"Of course,as expected,two ponies came in with a bed in their hooves.It bumped into her rump,causing her to bounce onto the bed.They rushed into the wing where all of the mares gave birth to their foals.She could she many other mares crying,or holding their stomachs in pain,as they were rushed into their own rooms.

They entered April's room,and the hospital smell rushed into her nose.The ponies lay her on the bed,and left the room.April sat,and waited in fear,and pain.So many emotions were going through her mind right now,she was actually giving birth to her own foal.Right now.

Three nurses entered the room.Of course,the one nurse we all know and love entered the room,nurse Red Heart.

(I'm not going over the birth part,so.....long story short Scootaloo is born!)

April held her daughter in her hooves,gazing upon her,she could hear her breathing,and every now and then shivering,as any other newborn foal would do."I like the name....Scootaloo.I love i-"All of a sudden,something didn't feel right.There was a sharp pain in April's chest,where her heart was.She quickly pressed the nurse button,but when the nurses came in,she was lying on the bed unresponsive.She had a cardiac arrest.

The nurses were about to come in anyway,the time April was holding Scootaloo was the only time she could at the time.Because Scootaloo was born about a week early,her lungs were not completley developed,they are only fully developed at birth.

They placed Scootaloo in a clear,plastic box with tubes to help her breath.Once she was able to breath on her own her own,she was straight to the adoption agency.
