Becoming Parents

"Here you go my beautiful wife." I placed a trey of tea and cookies in front of the yellow pegasus who was draped on the couch. "I know these are your favorite." I sat in front of her on the floor as I gently petted her silky pink hair.

"....Thanks..." Is all she said, not moving a muscle.

"If this is about my eye again, I told you it's okay. I know you weren't thinking straight. I'm all healed now." I kissed her forehead.

"It's not that...although I am still sorry." Her eyes started to water. "I am just worried about being a good mother..."

I grabbed her head and made her look directly in my eyes. "You don't ever say that. You will be a great mother. If anything I should be the one who is worried. I have no clue what I'm doing."

"But you are so calm about this whole thing..." Her voice was just above a whisper.

"Fluttershy, I have been freaking out the entire time." She looked at me surprised. "But I know you two need me. I will stand by your side through thick and thin." I smiled to her. "That's what our vows said, and I will not brake them." Her face began to show a small smile.

"You are so sweet. How does a mare like me deserve a stallion like you?" She asked and sat up.

"How does a stallion like me deserve a mare like you?" I hugged her and she nuzzled my neck.

"Thank you Jesse...For everything."

"I would say the same to you."
