Good Things Are Better When They're A Rarity

Twilight and Rarity were in Twilight’s bed back in the Sparkle home.  Rarity was still visibly shaken with the encounter with Sky Watcher.  Twilight knew that holding and comforting Rarity was more important than sex.  And with them getting married, there would be plenty of time for sex later.

“Darling,” said Twilight, holding Rarity close, “are you cold or are you still afraid?”

“Oh Twilight,” said Rarity, “I can’t get that monster out of my head.  Every time I close my eyes, I see him.  But then all I have to do is realize that I’m in your forelegs and I feel so much better.”

“When we go see the princess tomorrow,” said Twilight, “I’m going to do something I didn’t think would ever be necessary in Ponyville.  Until that maniac is caught, I’m going to ask for a detachment of Royal Guard be assigned to Friendship Castle.  I think with him seeing you and knowing that you aren’t as bad off as he might have expected, it wouldn’t hurt to have a bodyguard for the future Princess Consort.

I still doubt he’ll cause much trouble, but I can’t speak for a twisted mind.  Unfortunately, I’m afraid that we’ve seen the last of him.  But take my word for it, if I do see him first, it probably would be the last anypony would see of him!

As I promised, nopony will hurt you or our child.”

Rarity held Twilight close, she could feel strength being given to her from her love.  She had no trouble going to sleep after that.

As the morning awakened the lovers, Rarity felt so much better than the night before.  The two lay there sharing kisses and pillow talk.  They had been talking about deciding which one of the nearby rooms to their bedroom (Rarity had ‘officially’ moved in with Twilight by now) would be suitable for a nursery.

“We’ll want the foal in the room with us at first,” said Rarity, “that’s if we decide to nurse the foal.”

Twilight giggled.

“What?” asked Rarity confused.

“I just remember what the Cake’s said about your reaction when they asked you to last minute foal sit.  How you acted like watching foals was something unheard of.”

Rarity blushed at remembering how she did react:

‘Moi? Babysit? N- Oh nonononononononono! I'm flattered that you would think about me. though.’

“Well,” said Rarity giving Twilight a small kiss and look of love. “Things have changed since then.  That Rarity disappeared several months ago.  This Rarity, your Rarity has since been loved at a level she, or I, never knew existed.  As you said, the foal will be an extension of our love.”

“I can’t believe I’m feeling like this,” said Twilight, “but the mental picture of you reclined, nursing our child is so very, very arousing.”

“And if we didn’t have to get up and get ready to meet with Princess Celestia, I’d have you show me just how aroused you are.”

“Later perhaps?” said Twilight.

Rarity kissed her love again.

“Definitely later My Darling.”

It was later that morning and after breakfast with the family.  Night Light was off to his job, the two lovers were walking the short distance to the castle.  Rarity put her hoof down that she didn’t need a taxi to get around yet, Twilight relented.

As they approached the magnificent edifice, Rarity was taken by the same awe she always felt at castles.  But even now that she was living in one, it was still a thrill as  before.

The two were well known by the Castle Guard and passed without challenge.  When they arrived at the throne room, the doors were open and Princesses Celestia and Luna were there.  On seeing the couple, Celestia bid them enter.

They entered and stopped before the dais, Rarity bowed.

“We need to talk about that, Princess Rarity,” said Luna.

“Thank you princess,” said Rarity blushing, “but I’m not a princess yet.”

“A mere formality,” said Celestia.  “the mother of our niece or nephew is already a princess in our hearts.”

The princesses closed the throne room doors with their magic and descended the dais.  They hugged the two visiting ponies.

“Rarity,” said Luna, “you’ve always been a beautiful mare, but with the glow of expectancy you have, it’s that much more wonderful.”

“Thank you princess,” said Rarity.

“So have the two of you decided on a date for the wedding?” asked Celestia.

“We’ve decided on the 15th of the third month from now.  It gives us time to get everything ready,” said Twilight.  “Plus there are some friends of mine Rarity needs to meet.”

Rarity looked questioningly at Twilight, but Celestia smiled.

“I’m asking as a friend, not your ruler or teacher,” said Celestia, “but with the ceremony for the coronation of the Princess Consort, I would be honored if Luna and I could perform the wedding as well.”

“We were going to ask if you and Princess Luna could do this,” said Rarity.

“I know with Celestia being the senior princess, addressing her as formal is natural and respectful,” said Luna, “but if you remember a few Nightmare Nights back, I gave you leave to address me as familiar.”

“Thank you,” said Rarity.  “With all that’s gone on, it’s nice to know I have such friends.”

Celestia raised an eyebrow, she sensed something more to what Rarity was saying.

“Is there more that’s gone on since we last spoke,” asked the princess.

“We were out with my parents last night,” said Twilight, “my love went to the restroom, and when she did she saw the pony who assaulted her.  My father and I went to look but he’d seen Rarity and left when she came to get us.”

“Oh Dear,” said Celestia, “we need to take steps to see that Rarity is safe.”

“I know,” said Twilight, “I was going to ask you for something I never thought I’d need in Ponyville.  But because the criminal is still at large, I was going to ask if a detachment of the Royal Guard could be stationed at Friendship Castle until this is over.”

“I’m afraid what he might do if he finds I’m pregnant,” said Rarity.

“If he has any sense, although he’s shown none so far, he should stay away,” said Celestia, “but with you now betrothed to Princess Twilight, you’re now a member of a royal family.  The penalties for what he’s done so far are rather steep, but being a royal now anything he attempts will weigh more heavy on him.  I already have the investigative arm of the guard looking into similar MO’s throughout Equestria.  And sadly, so far there’ve been five cases so far found.  They didn’t want to come forward at first, but when they found the extent of what he was doing, there is now plenty of mares who, if he is brought to trial, will come forth to press charges.”

“Just one thing,” said Twilight, “because of it being Ponyville, can the ponies being stationed there be without uniforms.  I know the ponies of Ponyville wouldn’t be comfortable with an ‘armed camp’ in their back yard.  They might think their princess has let power go to her head.  Hardly a show of friendship.”

The four giggled.

The talk was lighter from then on.  The plans for the wedding were made and the official invitations were agreed on.

The one thing that made Rarity giddy was when the three princesses escorted her to the Crown Jewels vault so she could pick out what would be her official tiara.  To her surprise, the one she selected had once been worn by Princess Platinum, last queen of the Unicorns before the unification under Celestia and Luna.  It wasn’t her official crown but the tiara she’d worn in her everyday life.  Rarity was so honored to know her tiara was once worn by such an important historical figure.  She was slightly disappointed that she had to wait for the coronation to wear it.  Although Celestia let her wear it for about a half hour, just looking at herself in a mirror.  The three princesses thought it was funny, but they were gracious enough not to laugh.

The two returned to Ponyville the next morning after one more night with Twilight’s parents.

For the next three weeks, life went on pretty much as usual.  Rarity had contacted her friend Coco Pommel in Manehattan to make her dress.  Rarity figured that with the pageantry the princesses were planning, her dress should be made by somepony with theatrical flair.  Coco was honored and was by often and would use Rarity’s dress shop to do the work.  Rarity insisted that the dress be a surprise for Twilight.  Twilight didn’t mind, but Rarity was curious why Twilight only asked Coco to take some measurements of herself and they were sent to Canterlot.

Twilight let her friends know that she wouldn’t be offended if they all were Rarity’s bride’s maids.  After all, they’d known Rarity longer.

When asked, Twilight told Rarity not to worry, she had it all covered.

All appeared to have calmed down with one exception, Rarity and Fluttershy were having their weekly spa day when the spa pony Aloe came up to the two as they relaxed in the mud baths.

“Miss Rarity,” said Aloe, “we had a strange pony by yesterday asking for you.  He said he was your husband.  Lotus and I know you aren’t married, yet.  And you and that lovely Princess Twilight will be getting married soon.  Oh by the way, thank you for the invitations.”

“What did he look like and what did you tell him?” said Rarity, she looked panicked.

Fluttershy reached across and took Rarity’s hoof.

“Don’t worry, Miss Rarity,” said the spa pony, “we told him that we knew you aren’t married and if he came back by here trying to harass our clients, then the Police would be called.  It was too bad, he was quite a good looking stallion, blue with a telescope cutie mark.”

Rarity was visibly shaken.

“He’s the one who hurt you before, is he not? ” said Aloe, “don’t worry, we’ll take care of our best customer.”

Aloe climbed into the mud bath and started to give Rarity a massage.   Aloe and Lotus were two very empathetic ponies who were focused on taking care of their clients.

Sometimes their treatments boarded on the erotic.  But they never crossed the line, unless it was consensual.  And the rare times a pony would try to go too far with the two (at least ones the spa ponies didn’t want such advances from), they quickly found out just how strong the two Earth Ponies were!  Plus all they had to do was call out and their masseur, Bulk Biceps would be there instantly.

When Rarity got back to the castle, Rarity told Twilight what had transpired.  Twilight told her that in spite of her requests, the body guard would accompany Rarity everywhere short of the bathroom and the bedroom from now on.
