The Future of said Promise

Previous Chapter

A few weeks later

I paced back and forth like the most anxious person on earth, the bathroom the center of attention. It feels as if i've been hit with tons of anxiety these last few weeks and for good reason. Finally, Adagio emerged, a mix of fear and sadness on her face. "Well?"

She sighed covering her eyes in anger as she held it up. The words on it proved to put my newly acquired anxiety to the test as I read it letter by letter. P...o...s...i...t...i...v...e. "What the fuck are we going to do Delz?"

I sat down on the floor as if a broken prisoner, my head directed at the floor. She took the fetal position next to me, resting her head on my shoulder. "We're screwed...There's no way we're getting out of this."

"I could just leave and never come back."

"You know I don't want that. You're family now Adagio."

"But the baby will come eventually, she'll figure it out."

"Can't just hide a baby either."

We both sighed knowing the only option was to tell her sisters. "If it's worth anything, I don't regret it."

"I don't either Adagio. It's something that was a long time coming. What a great help that'll be though when Aria's ripping my head off."

"Hehe, don't worry. If she tries it, I'll at least try to stop her. Most likely get my head ripped off in the process though."

"At least that means she cares."

"Hehe, we're gonna die."

"In the worst fashion possible, yes we will."

September 24th

Time had passed, the weather was obviously getting colder and we as soon to be parents were obviously getting worried, especially today. We had been doing our best to let our lives remain as normal as possible. Of course, the morning sickness wasn't helping our cause. We also used this time to really catch up and establish our long lost friendship. I would take her out to restaurants, the park, and various places around town just so we could talk and reminisce. I already introduced her to the few people she hasn't met like Danny and Sunny. Because Danny is my best friend, I mentioned our current fuck up of utter emotion to which he proceeded to call me stupid and give me a lecture for the first time. Sunny didn't take it well either not for the same reasons as Danny However. She was was very specific in her reason, saying that she should have been the one to get knocked up, not Adagio. That was the only fun part of this day. When we arrived home, we both sighed and fell exhausted and fearful on the couch. "That was an interesting time out."

"Well it was your idea to meet and greet everyone now wasn't it?"

"I thought it would be a good idea since you're apart of the family now."

"Yea but did you really have to tell people about our baby making issue?"

"It was only the people I trusted the most. Danny has been my friend since we were little so his reaction was a bit expected. He only lectured me because he cares."

"And what about that Sunny girl. She seemed pretty pissed."

"Don't even worry about her, She's kind of a hopeless romantic turned sexual."

"I could tell." Adagio then stood up and stretched backwards. Her belly out in front of her as she did so, that's when I noticed. "What are you staring at?"

"Um...stretch again and look down..."

"Ok but what does that have to do with any....." As she looked down she caught sight of another number in the equation of issues we have. "Are you fucking me? I'm showing now. No no baby, please don't get bigger." she said as she poked at the tiny bump softly. There's no way it can get bigger right?" I sighed making her groan in frustration. "We have two months to come up with the most bullshit but believable story ever."

"I think I need to throw up." I said as I rushed to bathroom. After doing said disgusting action, I looked in the mirror after splashing a little bit of water on my face. "What the hell are we gonna do? There's no way out of this. I knocked up a girl that wasn't my wife and now i'm paying the consequences both mentally and soon, physically.....Two months....that should be enough time...I hope."

"Delz, are you ok?"

"Fine, just dying internally."

"Well could you hurry up, think I'm gonna start dying internally here pretty soon.....as in morning sickness is kicking in again....as in any second."

"Crap!" I said as I quickly opened the door. She rushed to the toilet and knelt as I held her hair back. Within seconds, she was going at it. I lightly patted her on the back for comfort. "That's right....let it out....get it all out Dagi."

"When will this end?..." she said before continuing to throw up a little.

"I have no idea. The website said it could last until the end of the first trimester or the entire pregnancy."

"You have got....ooooh....to be kidding me."

"It'll be fine Dagi, just get it all out." I said rubbing her back for comfort. Eventually she finished her barfing session and was met with relief from the nausea for the first time in a couple of hours. "Better?"

"Finally I can stand up straight again. What now?"

"Now, we're going to sit on that couch and brainstorm how to avoid to this shitstorm coming our way." And sit we did for an hour everyday for 2 months. It was like we were trying to figure out how to rob a bank or something, we were so dedicated."

About 2 months later
December 3rd

The snow sat beautifully on the ground, a white wonderland for those to behold among the chilling atmosphere. The snow still fell as a flurry of of white reducing visibility to near zero. It's as if we you were in the tundra, a white wasteland of nothing but snow and ice for miles. Outside, it was playground of the cold, Inside....well. "Holy crap we are so screwed!" I screamed as I paced around frantically.

"Have we seriously been sitting here doing nothing day by day?!"

"No way, of course we've been doing something. There was watching TV!"

"And going out to hang out. Don't forget the make out sessions too!"

"Which I refuse to do anymore!"

"Why?"

"Because kissing leads to the reason this issue is here and the last thing I want to do is turn your tummy into an X-rated bouncy house. Look we're missing the point!"

"Can we at least stop shouting first?"

"I don't know if I can! I just wanted rekindle our friendship and this happened, Aria's gonna kill me and we're both gonna be dead and alone!"

"Delz hon, calm down."

"I just wanted to do good in the world!"

"You're really exaggerating dear, please calm down."

"I'm Spiraling, I'm spiraling!"

Suddenly I felt a slap to my face, hard enough to send me a step back. "Would you get it under control. Getting hysterical isn't helping."

"Sorry sorry, I deserved and needed that."

"Good. Now, they said they'll be home tonight and there's no way we're gonna be able to play off this bump of mine by then. Our only option is too put together a plan to tell her in the most light hearted way possible."

"Actually, I think it might be best to just sit her down, with or without everyone doesn't matter, and just tell her what happened. A plan would make it seem more incriminating than what it actually was versus just outright telling the truth."

"I...perhaps that makes sense. Might actually end up avoiding the brunt of the storm that way."

"Well, that's our plan then."

"I suppose it is...I never...meant for it to get this far."

"Hmm?"

"I just wanted somebody there again. Somebody to warm up my soul and make me feel like family again. You were the first person to come to mind. But now...we have a baby on the way."

"And I blame myself for that."

"Wait why? It's my fault for showing up again, I should've just left you alone."

"Don't go doubting your past now Adagio. I'm glad you showed up. Since then, It always felt like something was missing from my life. I don't regret our actions at all. I do however, regret going a little hard on you. Because of that, the condom broke and we're parents."

"I can accept that. At least you can take all the blame right?"

"Oh no no, we're in this together."

"Damn."

"....You know, maybe you put me under your spell. Maybe I was never in control of my actions."

She then looked at me with the most annoyed death stare and raised her hand. I assumed she was going to slap me for that one until a wide smile came across her face. "Du idiot." she said jokingly, punching me in the arm.

"I was kidding obviously. We're still doing the german thing?"

"Well actually, before we made our home in this city, we stayed in a place where german just so happened to be one of the main languages aside from english. I guess I just liked the way it sounded."

"I wonder why."

"Well...this is a bit embarrassing...I was still a Siren back then, so I dated alot. I met this girl named Asuka Langley, and she had the most beautiful if not cutest, voice to accompany her german accent. I guess I just picked it up after hanging out with her for some time."

"So you're into girls too?"

"Only slightly. I prefer men but if a girl catches my eye, I won't hesitate to take that chance."

"Maybe you can seduce Aria not to kill us."

"She's my sister, that would be weird."

"Good point. Guess the truth plan holds up."

"So question?"

"What's up?"

"How do you really feel about this baby?"

"I feel...excited yet...scared. There's no telling what Aria will do and I heavily doubt I'm ready to be a father just yet."

"Don't go doubting yourself Delz. The man I loved before and love now is more than ready to be a father. You're unselfish, considerate, always looking out for others. If the baby has half those traits, it'll be perfect."

"Yea but what about the annoying parts. I don't know how change a diaper Adagio, those things can stink."

"Hehe, you'll learn I'm sure."

Suddenly, a text interrupted our conversation. Upon picking it up, I sighed, responded, and placed it back down. "That was Aria. They just landed and will be home in 30."

"Any last words?"

"Nothing I haven't already said."

"Me too."

30 minutes later

We watched carefully outside the window, waiting fearfully for their arrival. Finally, 2 sets of car lights parked in the driveway and we both looked at each other. "Ready Adagio?"

"I guess, can't say I'm excited about it though."

A knock on the door got our attention as we both took a breath and released it. I put my hand on the doorknob and turned it, ready to face whatever was about to happen. As soon as I did, I was tackled by the ten girls desperately missing me. It was nice to have them all here again, especially Aria. Wasn't until they all stood up laughing and joking that they finally noticed who was standing a few feet behind me. Adagio waved with a nervous laugh as they all stared at her. Sonata took the lead with Aria right behind her as they approached her. "A-Adagio? Like what are you doing here?"

"We haven't seen you in more than 3 years." Aria added.

"Listen you two, I wanted....to say sorry for acting like a total diva and just so you know, this isn't some kind of cliche sorry speech. I've been thinking...staying and talking with Delz these last 4 or 5 months. He's made me see how much of a bitch I was to you guys, to all of you. I was in a dark place and couldn't pull myself out. I don't like to do all this mushy emotional stuff so no one laugh.....I'm just trying to say sorry or whatever. I regret trying to enslave everyone and would like to make up for it or something."

Everyone stared at her as she looked away with a blush. Suddenly Sonata shot into a hug. "Oh Dagi, that's all I needed to here."

Then suddenly Rainbow was right next to her with words of acceptance, then Rarity, then everyone except Pinkie who couldn't seem to find her way near Adagio. Eventually, the gears turned in her head and she crawled into the group. It was like everything was in slow motion, as I saw Pinkie latch her arms around Adagio's waist and begin to place her head on her tummy. Son of a... Pinkie paused then moved her head away in curiosity before placing it back. She then jumped up with excitement breaking apart the group hug. "I have great news everyone."

"Pinkie not yet!" I yelled out but it was too late.

"Adagio has a bun in the oven, oh my gosh oh my gosh!"

Everyone stood up smiling but surprised. "Is it true dear, are you really pregnant?" Rarity asked.

Adagio nodded. "Well come sit down, we need all the details." Rainbow happily chimed in.

Everyone began making their way to the living room as Adagio looked at me. I nodded, Her face showing a look of concern but she understood and nodded back. She sat down in between everyone as they rapid fired question after question. Eventually Twilight came to the question of how far along she was. "I'd like to study this if you don't mind so please tell me, I can hardly hold my pen still."

"Um...well...I've been...."

"Are you ok?" Sunset said placing a hand on shoulder.

"I'm...uh....about 4 or 5 months along."

Aria seemed happy for her sister, until Sonata seemed to be putting 2 and 2 together. "Wait a minute, didn't you say you moved in 4 or 5 months ago?"

"Y-yea."

"So you must have gotten knocked up right before you and the lucky guy moved in right?"

"That's....a possibility."

"Then can we invite daddy to the christmas party, I'm sure he's crazy about meeting us."

"Um...sure. I'll give you his number." She then proceeded to give Sonata the digits to that mysterious man's number. Too bad every number in that number belongs to none other than...Suddenly my phone rang and everyone looked behind them to hear the ringtone coming from me. Everyone's shocked faces already knew what had transpired over the last 5 months. That's when Adagio looked at me with a nervous smile, eyes shut tight and sweating beginning to form on her. "Don't answer the phone, maybe they haven't noticed." she whispered in a comedic fashion.

"Delz?..." Sonata angrily asked before standing up.

"Um...yea."

"Please tell me that you and the father know each other and you're just holding his phone for him."

"I definitely am holding the father's phone alright hehe....we're....uh...gonna need time to explain."

"I'm...waiting." she said as she squeezed her phone, so much that you could hear the sound of the case cracking."

"Well do me a favor and don't break your phone first of all, that cost alot of money. And second, just sit down and let me and Adagio explain."

We made sure to move everyone to the opposite side of the door so that we had running chance if things got out of hand and began, Adagio starting off. "Well as you guys know, maybe not the Rainbooms, me and Delz did a little dating back in the day when we were in Equestria. We dated for a while then things changed. I got all evil and crazy and we just kind of fell apart."

"Soon we all found our way into the human world and built upon what we could figure out here."

"I stayed crazy."

"And I just lived, that's when I met Fluttershy and everyone else. That was for those of you who didn't know that, now off to what happened these last 5 months. I was doing my usual thing after you guys left. Working and such, then it began to rain like crazy. Eventually I would come to find Adagio out there unconsious with a nasty hit on her head. I took her inside and made sure she was ok. When she woke up, she had lost her memory and things just continued from there. I gave her as normal a day I could, even taking her to Sugarcube Corner as a result."

"That's when I got my memory back. Afterwards we returned back here, and I began to explain what the hell happened to me both mentally and physically over the course of those years. We talked and turns out...we had some feelings buried pretty deep."

"We both never truly never got over our weird separation and that emotional moment was all it took for us to bring up those feelings of lost love all over again. Don't get me wrong, I don't love her like that anymore, the feeling is gone. How we got rid of that of feeling though...is what brought along this little guy."

"We were in the moment, our feelings skyrocketed, and we couldn't help ourselves. We...had sex and condom broke."

We both closed our eyes and waited for the onslaught until the prolonged silence got our attention, then Sonata and Aria suddenly broke out laughing. "That sounds like quite the adventure." Aria stated.

We both looked at each other, confusion setting in and tensions suddenly lowered. "Wait what?" I quickly but nervously asked.

"You guys are like kidding right?" Sonata began. "Why are you making such a big deal out of something like this?"

"But...we...like passionately.....I basically had an affair."

"With our sister, why is it an issue?"

"You can't be serious...I mean....it's....it's your sister, shouldn't that make it worse than just any other woman."

Aria laughed then gasped. "Oh Adagio, you never told him did you?"

"Told him what?" she said with horror on her face.

"Oh my, you must have forgotten too it seems. Sonata if you would."

"We like share everything."

I stood up and looked at all three of them, my newborn anxiety setting in. "Share?"

"Yep. From toys when we were little, to boys when we teens."

Aria continued to smile as she stood up and hugged me. "Had it been anyone else, I would've undoubtedly ended your life. But it seems we forgot to mention that we Sirens are sisters at heart, born together with a sisterly connection unlike any other. We share just about everything, that includes you. Why do you suppose I haven't done anything to Sonata yet dear?"

"So....we were never in any trouble....at all."

"Nope." Sonata happily responded.

"I can't believe I forgot all about that, sorry Delz." Adagio added.

I looked at the Rainbooms but they just shrugged and gave me a confused look. "He...hehe...he....and...going down." I said as I began tip backwards towards the floor. And just like that, everything went black. In that moment of darkness, I realized one thing. I have now have anxiety which is so much fun let me tell you. I'm kidding. I awoke to dark room, the ceiling obviously belonging to my room. As I tried to rub my head, I realized that one side of me was Sonata, on the other was Adagio, and using me a literal body pillow was Aria. Crazy right, that was until I realized that the ten other girls were somehow someway in my room sleeping as well. How the hell did they fit 11 girls in room only meant for 2 people, I will never know. But I suppose it was nice to have them all here again...just like old times.

The end?

Wait a minute, do I basically have a fucking harem?


Author's Note

First of all, I did the research on pregnancy and tried to match this situation up to what normal pregnancy is like. Course I've never seen anyone go through it so if the symptoms and stuff is little off, don't kill me.

Two, if you got the anime reference in there, good on you. (Hint: search the name that Adagio mentions)

Three, I suppose that leaving this story alone for a while, it kind of lost popularity. It's not over though, I plan on continuing this until the very end....of the next story at least. The baby grows up and asks of their original home, Equestria. I guess you can see where this is going right?
