Nightmare looked on in shock at the test in front of her, a small interface with a red plus sign bleeped back at her.

"That definitely explains some things. The nausea, the morning sickness, the mild cramps, and even the absurd cravings," Nightmare shuddered at the last thing.

"BUT HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE," thought Nightmare harshly, she was completely and utterly confused.

Nightmare looked at the test with confusion written all over her face, but she couldn't stop the smile that made it's way to her muzzle; she was going to be a mother, and she couldn't be happier... until a thought surfaced.

"Would he even want the foal," wondered Nightmare "of course he would, this is Zorak I'm thinking about. He may have his rough edges, but he would be more than happy to be a father, of course he'd want his foal. But how am I going to tell him, what if he freaks out, we've only been dating for three weeks now and he's already got me pregnant."

"Nightmare, you're starting to panic, calm down," said Luna soothingly "we both love Zorak and know know him very well, while there is a chance he could freak out at first, him being male and all, but I know he will be just as happy as we are. You and I are one, I can feel the foal growing inside us, and if we can love her, so can he."

"We're having a filly," asked Nightmare with subconscious giddiness "how do you know."

"Have you already forgotten that we're an Alicorn, there is so much we can do, I merely used a simple, but ancient gender determination spell, you're welcome for that Nighty," replied Luna "after-all, I'm just as happy as you are to become a mother."

Nightmare had just come up with an idea "Luna."

"Yeah," replied Luna lazily.

"I'm going to keep this from Zorak," said Nightmare with a determined tone.

"That's not a good idea Nightmare," said Luna with a tone more akin to a mother scolding her child.

"No no no, you misunderstand, I want this to be a surprise, I can't just walk up to him and say 'congrats you're going to be a father,'" said Nightmare frantically.

"So you want to make it more memorable, or maybe... romantic," asked Luna to clarify what her other half just said.

"Of course," replied Nightmare with a smile.

"I still don't like the idea, but you're right, this is going to be one of the most important points in our life, it needs to be special," said Luna happily "just be careful, okay."

"I promise to be careful," said Nightmare happily as she gently hopped off her toilet.

"Good luck, you'll need it," said Luna chuckling.

"I'm sure I will," said Nightmare suddenly gravely nervous.

Luna continued to chuckle, she found this whole situation very, VERY funny.

"You have any idea's as to how we'll do it," asked Nightmare.

"You're asking the wrong mare, try asking Rarity, or Chrysalis," said Luna.

"Well, Zorak is working right now, so I think I'll do just that," said Nightmare sending a message to Rarity and Chrysalis via her magic.

She got a reply fairly quickly and set out to her personal study to wait for her friends to meet with her.

"Hello darlings," said Rarity as she entered Nightmare's study "terribly sorry that I'm late."

"Even though this is very important, I can let it slide, but only this once," said Nightmare jokingly, giving the younger mare a sly wink.

Rarity chortled happily "we should do this more often, but putting that aside, what is it that you have called us here for."

"I'm pregnant," said Nightmare bluntly.

The two mares reactions were immediate, they both jumped back completely shocked.

"Come again darling," said Rarity in disbelief.

Nightmare sighed "I'm pregnant, and I need your help finding a way to tell Zorak."

"Is it his," asked Chrysalis raising a brow.

Nightmare merely nodded.

"Oh what wondrous news, we'll have to plan a foalshower and a surprise party to celebrate Zorak becoming a father, I think I know a mare who can do both," said Rarity giddily.

"Who," asked Nightmare.

"My new mare-friend Pinkamena Diane Pie, or Pinkie for short, she's a real doll," replied Rarity gushing slightly.

"You're one hell of a lucky mare, not only are you a queen and have the most desired male in the world pressed beneath your hoof, but now you're going to become a mother with said male. I don't know about you, but I think you're TOO lucky," said Chrysalis saltily.

"What's wrong with you darling," asked Rarity worriedly.

"She's just upset because I've snagged someone she ACTUALLY wanted for herself," said Nightmare sticking her tongue out at Chrysalis.

"Stick a cork in it," said Chrysalis crossing her forelegs.

"Oh if only you knew what it was like to hold him in your hooves, the pure feeling of bliss, of acceptance, of desire basically radiating from him. Not to mention, despite his muscular, lean form, he is very soft, and cuddly, and not to mention he like's to give hoof massages," said Nightmare tauntingly.

Chrysalis covered her ears and yelled "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UUUUP."

Rarity merely looked on in amusement.
