My Little Surprise

Okay, I've had this idea in my head since I saw the episode, "Baby Cakes" and saw the baby Rarity. I never had the chance to write it down till now. So here's my rendition of what happened. Humanized of course.

The mane six were all in the hall, looking through the glass to look at the new babies.

Although, Rarity had been staying at the hospital for a few days. She was just barely now walking again, and was there to see her baby. She never told anyone, but she had been pregnant with a man's baby all this time. She hid it while pretending to be over eating, due to stress about a huge order for a clothing line she was creating.

Her friends bought it without question. They knew Rarity would never lie to them.

But she did lie; she was hiding another human being from them! For nine months!

Rarity knew who the father was, but she had no idea how to tell him. Sure they had been copulating for the past year already, but she didn't know how to tell him. How do you tell the man you love that you were pregnant and you didn't tell him?

Rarity just smiled as she saw her daughter sleeping soundly with the other babies. The name on the clip board had read, Annie Elizabeth.

Her baby girl had the same violet tresses like herself, same ivory skin, same everything. Save for the eyes. Rarity knew the eyes would give her baby daddy away, but for now, she'll just figure out how to tell her friends, then her man about her secret pregnancy.

"Can you believe the new baby's finally here?" Apple Jack said as she glanced at Twilight and Rarity.

"Cup Cake and Carrot Cake must be so proud!" Twilight gushed as she watched the bundles either sleep or wiggle in curiosity.

Rarity knew how Cup Cake and Carrot Cake are feeling right now. They must feel so proud that they could create something so beautiful, so elegant and perfect. They probably feel like they're on top of the world. Rarity couldn't let silence hang over this special moment, so she said the first thing that came to mind, "I wonder if it's a girl or a boy?"

"I wanna see the new baby! I wanna see! Which one is it!" Pinkie Pie pressed her face to the glass in a comical way.

Carrot Cake had then introduced the new twins to the others. They all awed as they stretched and yawned. Rarity paid them no attention; she was too busy, just waiting for everyone to leave so she could take her new baby home. Rarity never saw herself as a mother, but now… She was excited about being a mother to her baby. She was excited about the laughs, the smiles, even the work it takes to take care of a baby. After a little while, they were being ushered out by Nurse Red Heart, saying how visiting hours were almost over.

Apple Jack nudged Rarity, bringing her out of her daze, "Hey Rarity? Where have y'all been this past week? We've all been worried sick about ya."

Rarity had planned for this, as soon as she knew she was in labor. The lie slipped out without a hitch, "Dahling, I have been busy. You know how I get when I get into the zone." It was a good thing Rarity lived near the hospital, or else she would have been found out.

"Yeah, but you don't have to lock yourself into your home just cause you're in the zone." Rainbow commented as she crossed her arms behind her head.

Rarity just smiled and told them she had to be somewhere, "it's urgent dahling! And I can't miss it!" She turned and walked away calmly, but on the inside, she was screaming. She can't hide her baby for long. Eventually, her friends are gonna want to come over, or a business order will come in, and she'll have to fess up one day. But right now, she needed to be there with her baby!

When she first learned of her pregnancy, she had at first, freaked out. She never dreamed she would be a mother, not till she was older and married. But she had faced the reality, that yes, she is young, and yes she is not married, but that doesn't mean she has to give in to despair. That just means she has to really try at this. After the initial shock wore off, she thought about telling her man that she was pregnant. But how could she? All over the news, she saw about how men were just dumping their wives and girlfriends when they found out they were pregnant. She didn't want her man to do the same thing.

She decided to wait a bit and gather up the things she would need to raise her baby. She bought all of the items in secret, and already had a room ready for her baby.

On the side, she still spent time with her baby daddy, without ever telling him that she was pregnant, or giving him a hint that she was. She could have hid an elephant in her home and no one could have known for years!

But she had to tell her friends and lover!

She had waited till she knew everyone would be too far away from the hospital to see her exit it, so she was then wheeled out of the hospital by a nurse, with Annie in her arms. She looked down at the sweet baby girl wrapped in her pink plush blanket, and instantly knew she was going to be happy, no matter what.

Because she knew that she was going to have this little cherub with her from now on.

A month passes…

Rarity was sewing a new dress for Annie, her face was a little thin, and she had dark rings under her eyes, but she didn't care. She was with her baby girl, and things were fine.

Until she had checked her answering machine that morning. On there were five new voice mails, all from the same number. The last month was just so hectic, that she forgot she had a man that needed attention. She listened to them all, as she brushed her hair. In the past month, Rarity hasn't had the time to make herself look like she always did, all perfect and elegant. Her hair was now finally free from all the chemicals used to keep it in the shape of curls. It was now straight, the way it was when she was born and before she learned about hair care products and a curling iron.

When the last voice mail was about to play, the answering machine went off and said, "New voicemail, today, 9:30 AM, *beep* Rarity, I'm worried about you, I'm coming over as soon as I'm done with breakfast. Ah want answers." The voice mail ended and Rarity dropped the brush. He's coming here! She turned to the clock, ten o clock! She stood and started to gather all of the baby things around her shop. She would care for Annie when she worked, never leaving her side for a minute. And it was hard enough to go shopping in record time just to make sure she wasn't out of the house for too long.

But now, he was coming there! He was coming there and he's gonna find out about Annie and Rarity was going to be busted!

Rarity passed a mirror, and saw her hair in the state it was. He'll know something is up when he sees my hair! She screamed inwardly as she quickly dumped Annie's things into her room, then coming back into the main room to collect Annie, who was now awake, from the plush blanket laid on the sofa for her.

Annie whimpered and cried, wanting her mother's milk. Rarity sighed and sat as she started to breast feed Annie. She was momentarily relaxed as Annie was eating, until a knock came to her door. The knock scared Annie, who instantly started crying. Rarity redid her blouse and started to soothe Annie, "sssshh…" She rocked her as the knock came again. "Coming!" She continued to soothe Annie.

The knocking stopped, "Rarity? What is that noise?"

Rarity thought about running out the back door with Annie, but it was only a matter of time before- The lock on the door turned. Rarity groaned as her man remembered that he had a spare key to her boutique. The door opened and there stood Big Macintosh.

He was about to ask if everything was okay, but his eyes fell on the baby in Rarity's arms. "Rarity…?"

She sighed as she left the room to place Annie in her crib. When she made sure Annie was asleep, she exited the baby's room and closed the door behind her. Big Mac was on the couch and had his hands clasped together, "How long?"

Rarity shifted uncomfortably, "a while."

Big Mac shook his head, "Ah got to know… Is that child mine?" Rarity nodded slowly, "and when were y'all gonna tell me?" Rarity stayed silent. He stood and said slowly, "what were you thinking? How could you keep this from me?"

Rarity's eyes filled with tears, "I'm sorry Mac. I wanted to but-"

"but what? That I was gonna leave you?" He cut in angrily. Rarity lowered her head and nodded. He sighed and stepped close to her, "ah could understand you not telling mah sis or your friends about us, but keeping something like this? Do you not want to show the world that we're together and happy? Are you ashamed of me?" Rarity shook her head, the tears cascading down her face.

"No Mac! I just… I didn't know what to do!" She covered her face and cried, her shoulders heaving with every sob. Rarity soon felt Big Mac's arms surround her, and his warmth envelop her. "Mac-"

"Rarity, ah don't want to be hidden anymore. Ah don't want any more lies." He kissed the top of her head, "Ah just want a life with you." Rarity nuzzled into his warmth, "Ah want to be there with you. Always." He pulled her away from him to look her in the eyes, "And ah don't want to be out of our daughter's life."

Rarity sniffed, "Mac, how are you taking this so well? I lied to you!"

He just shook his head, "ah understand that you were just afraid. But that doesn't mean it was okay. I don't know when she was born, or how you were for the whole nine month period, nothing! Ah missed out on it!"

Rarity smiled softly, "Her birth day was on January 11th." Mac smiled, glad he didn't miss that much. "She looks almost exactly like me Mac, except…" She smiled wider, "she has your eyes."

Big Mac hugged Rarity tightly, "please Rarity, no more lies. I want to always be there for her." He kissed her cheek, "don't ever lie to me ever again. Cause from now on, I'll always be there for you two."

Rarity hugged him back, "Annie will love that."

"Annie?"

"Annie Elizabeth Apple."

Big Mac smirked, "kept to the apple family tradition?"

Rarity nuzzled his chest, "she is an apple after all. She's much more active than a month old baby should be."

Big Mac nodded, "like everyone in the Apple family." He sighed happily as he held Rarity close, but he then realized something. "Rarity, your hair."

Rarity jumped and remembered that she hadn't done anything to her hair, "oh uh- you see I haven't had time to do anything to it and…" She trailed off, her embarrassment showing all over her face. Mac just nuzzled the top of her head.

"Ah like it like that."

DONE!

Was it short? Yes it was. Was it satisfying? To me, it was. Should I continue this? Maybe. Depends on what you guys say. Anyway, this was my rendition of what happened. I guess it would explain why Rarity was sweating like crazy when Mr. and Mrs. Cake asked her to babysit. SHE WAS HIDING HER BABY! And to others out there, I was NOT going to make Spike the daddy.

Here are my reasons for loathing SpikeXRarity:

HE IS A BABY! A BABY WHO IS CRUSHING ON A GROWN WOMAN/MARE! It's like a kid being in love with his babysitter! It won't work out!

Spike is way too obsessive over Rarity, and on many occasions, her face shows her discomfort with Spike fawning over her.

Dragon lifespans are a HUGE problem. If a dragon sleeps for 100 years as a cat nap, imagine how old Spike will have to be for him to hit puberty! Rarity will be dead by then.

Regardless of that one episode where spike turned big, Rarity stopped Spike from confessing. She doesn't want to have him confess his feelings because he's her, "Skikey-wikey", or in girl language, her LITTLE BROTHER, or GOOD FRIEND. Yes People, he has been FRIEND ZONED. NO WAY OUT. END OF STORY.

Adult + child + romance = pedophilia. Or in this case, reverse pedophilia.

This couple will NEVER work. PERIOD.

Those were a few of my reasons for loathing the SpikeXRarity pairing. However, take note of this. THIS WAS IN NO WAY OF TRYING TO CONVERT YOU IF YOU LIKE THIS PAIRING. THIS IS SIMPLY ME STATING MY OPINION. OPINION. That being said, hope you enjoyed this little number, and if you think I should continue with this or leave it, please do say so. Thank you, and make sure to review!
