Chapters Mothball and Screwball are now married, and for their honeymoon, they went traveling. At the moment they were in Manehatten, booking a room at a hotel. It was almost 8:00 in the evening. Exhausted, Mothball went straight to bed. Besides, they were planning to get up early, they were planning to go to Appleloosa in the morning. Screwball joined. Getting comfy, blushing, Screwball asked,"Can we have a foal?"
Screwball had been wanting to ask him for a while now, but she could never find the right time to ask.
Mothball was speechless. He never thought about it. He stammered,"I-I, well..."
He sighed and blushed, looking into her lollipop eyes.
"I-I mean, i-if you want to."
"I just asked, and...y-yes, I kinda do. Do you?"
"Um... well, I never thought about it but, if you want to. I guess I don't care?"
They then moved closer.
He got out his Screwball detector and went searching for them. They were in a fancy hotel with a LOT of windows, luckily it was easy to find her window. She was at the fourth window at the bottom. The curtain was shut, so he used his magic to open it, just a little though, so he could see.
He could not believe what he saw. He couldn't tell at first since they were in the blanket, but then the blanket was pushed off for a second before being put back on. Mothball laid against his daughter?
Immediately he poofed away, shutting the curtains well, but he just wasn't fast enough for Screwball's eyes. She turned red with embarrassment, and anger, her father was spying on them! He promised he would stop, but HE DIDN'T!
Mothball noticed this and asked her,"What's wrong?"
D-d-daddy w-was..."
She didn't need to finish for Mothball to understand, for He too was red with embarrassment.
It was morning, and Discord sees his wife and strokes her mane. She to woke up.
"Good morning."
"Good morning"
They both got up to have breakfast. After, the cleaned up.
Screwball storms into the door, with Mothball walking slowly behind her, trying to keep up, with his head down, he was red like a tomato, like Screwball.
"Why were you spying on us?!"
"S-sorry I just wanted to make sure you guys were ok!" Discord replied.
"Honey, What's going on?" Fluttershy asked, then she sighed,"you were spying on them again, I thought you promised."
"I just wanted to make sure they were ok, ok?!
"No, not ok!" Screwball fumed,"you promised!"
After an hour of yelling, Screwball finally calmed down a little.
"I can't believe you!" Screwball said for the thousandth time. Mothball was was almost as red as Screwball, but not from anger like his wife, but red with embarrassment. He had never knew this side of her.
Screwball finally walked out the door. With mothball right behind her.
"Sorry!" Discord yelled. He had never been yelled at like that before. Now he has some things to explain to his wife.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side." Mothball said, trying to loosen up her face. It worked.
"Sorry, but he broke his promise, not to mention, he saw us..."
"I know, I agree with you, he shouldn't have done that, but we are behind, we were supposed to be in Appleloosa an hour ago."
"Shoot! Right, we are." And she puffed them to the hotel, packed, and puffed to Appleloosa.
This was their last place they haven't traveled to. Then they weekly be starting a new life.
I know, honey, but I haven't seen he
"Yes, but.."
"It's also a habit"
"You have too break it you know."
"I know."
After the lecture, Fluttershy sighed,"Promise ME you won't spy on them again, ok?"
"I promise"
In the morning, the packed up and poofed, to Discord's house. Screwball was still mad at Discord and was giving him the silent treatment.
She went to have breakfast with them. Fluttershy had made pancakes, Screwball turned Mothball's into chocolate pancakes, and they went to eat.
"So, where are you guys going too live?" Fluttershy asked
"We were thinking of living near the little spot Screwball made in the Everfree Forest, you know, with the chocolate lake?" Mothball answered.
"I know." Fluttershy replied.
After breakfast, Mothball and Screwball went to the chocolate lake and made their house, it's smaller than Discord's, and more like a house, not a mansion. It had two floors, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. They both agreed they should start out small, since it was just the two of them.
"I'm fine."Screwball said, looking at Mothball at the doorway, she must've heard my steps, he thought. Weird though, this has been happening for the past three days.
"Ok, I'll be waiting downstairs."
Mothball went downstairs at the table waiting for Screwball. She finally came down and poofed breakfast.
Screwball has also changed what she eats, today, she ate pancakes, with ketchup, biscuits, and cotton
"Ok, I'm taking you to the doctors." Mothball said
"No, I'm fine." Screwball replied.
"No, you are not."
"Yes I am!"
Please, Screwy? I just wanna see if you're ok." He pleaded.
"Fine."
Screwball came out of the doctors office.
"Well?" Mothball asked.
Screwball smiled wide,"I'm pregnant."
"Wait what!" Mothball said in shock, then he smiled just as wide as her,"when are we going to tell you're parents?"
"How about I tell them tomorrow morning, when we go to have breakfast with them?"
"Sure"
"I need to tell you something." Screwball said, in the middle of breakfast, finally some silence to talk with.
Mothball held her hoof, and Screeball added,"we're having a baby."
Discord and Fluttershy dropped there forks, Fluttershy gasped,"Really! Oh, congratulations, sweetheart!"
Fluttershy hugged them happily. So did Discord, and he said,"oh I'm so happy for you!"
Screwball gasped for air, for Discord squeezed her SO hard she couldn't breathe.
"Oh, sorry, Screwy, I'm just so happy for you!" Discord said, hugging her less tight.
Lightning dash, Thunder dash, Dinkie, Twilight sparkle, and many others came to the baby shower. They all have gifts to Screwball.
Rarity have her baby clothes, like she did for her mother. Thunder and Lightning dash gave her a rattle, Twilight Sparkle gave her a baby book, and Dinkie and Cinnamon Stick had Applejack help them make her a handmade crib.
"These are wonderful presents guys, thank you!" Screwball said happily.
Screwball and Mothball went to bed, they got comfy and went to sleep.
Screwball woke up to a contraction, she has them from time to time, but this one was worse then the others. Mothball woke up from all the movement.
"THE BABY IS COMING!"
Author's Note
Hello! I hope you liked this chapter, it'll take me while to make the next chapter, but I assure you, l will make chapter 2. Yes, there might be mistakes(and typos, but my hand hurts so I'm probably not going to fix it), this IS my first story after all. Also, there are many others at the baby shower, BUT I did not add some of them because my hands hurt from typing, and I only added the midst important gifts(didn't say that other gifts are important, so don't yell at me).
Mothball was sitting in a chair near the room that held Screwball, it had been an hour now since they came to the hospital.
He heard a scream.
"What are they doing to her?" Discord asked.
"I dunno, but it didn't sound good." Mothball replied.
"I hope she's okay." Dinkie Doo said.
All of Screwball's friends and family were there, waiting for the doctor to come out. The doctor finally came out saying that Screwball is fine and that she delivered a healthy baby girl.
"A girl?" Dinkie smiled happily.
Mothball went into the delivery room to see his wife. She was holding a little filly in her hooves. Screwball let Mothball hold her so he could see his daughter.
The little filly had a pink fur coat like Screwball, and the dark blueish grey hair with white stripes, just like Mothball. She had blue eyes like Fluttershy's but Mothball's slit pupils. She was a Pegasus and had holes at the bottom of her hair and on her wings.
"She's beautiful." Mothball said.
The little filly giggled and then sneezed, she turned into a baby changling then back to normal. They gasped.
"She has my powers!" Mothball smiled,"We'll walk her..... Poofball."
Screwball smiled,"I like it."
Ding Dong!
Screwball went to open the door, it was Dinkie and her daughter, Cinnamon Sugar.
"Hey there Dinkie, come in." Screwball smiled.
They walked in and got Poofball and Cinnamon Sugar to play together, they were like best friends from the beginning. Today was the filly's playdate as well as the day for Screwball and Dinkie to hang out, while Mothball watched the kids.
Cinnamon Sugar was born a few months after Poofball was born, and ever since they laid eyes on each other, they became best friends.
Thunder Dash and Apple Blossom had their child months before Screwball's. Which they called him Storm Cloud.
When Storm Cloud came over for a playdate with Poofball, they did not get along very well, so the playdate ended early, but they keep trying to get them to be nice to each other, but nothing worked. Screwball and Apple Blossom hope that they don't become enemies in the future.
As Poofball and her parents walked her to school, Poofball asked,"What if the other kids don't like me?"
Screwball looked down at her,"Of course they'll like you, your a adorable filly and all the foals like adorable fillies."
"And if they are," Mothball added,"then they're just jealous that your special..... But, um, don't try to change into anybody and try not to sneeze."
Poofball nodded and smiled, she is special, and adorable. But she still has her doubts.
"Cinnamon Sugar will be in your class also Poofball, so you still have one friend." Screwball added.
They arrived to school and waved her goodbye.
Mothball looked at his wife,"Storm Cloud will be in her class, what if they don't get along, our one bullies the other, more likely Storm Cloud?"
"I don't know, Mothy, but I'm worried about that too."Screwball replied.
Poofball walked into class, Apple Blossom, her teacher, and other students were all in their seats, Poofball found her seat right next to Cinnamon Sugar.
"Nervous?" Cinnamon Sugar asked.
"Yeah, are you?" Poofball answered.
"Yeah."
It was recess and all the children went outside, Poofball and Cinnamon played catch with a ball, that it's until Storm Cloud caught it.
"Hey, that's our ball!" Poofball yelled.
"Not anymore." Storm Cloud said, and flew off.
Storm Cloud was a blue pegasus with yellow hair like Apple Blossom's
"Ugh that bully!" Cinnamon Sugar groaned.
Cinnamon Sugar had brown fur and Yellow hair, she was an early pony.
"Let's just plan something else, it was getting boring anyway." Poofball said.
"What do you wanna play?" Cinnamon Sugar asked.
"I dunno." Poofball replied.
The school bell rang and all the children went inside.
"So, how was your day, honey." Screwball asked.
"It was good, I learned allot of stuff today, but no homework." Poofball answered.
"That's nice, anything else, like did anybody bother you?" Mothball added.
"Rain Clouds stole mine and Cinnamon's ball." Poofball replied.
"Oh, well you two never got along in the first place," Screwball said,"I meant to tell you but we got to the school before i had the chance."
"It's ok"
They arrived home and had dinner. After, there was a knock at the door. Screwball opened it and saw Dinkie and her daughter. Today Mothball and Screenshot were going out, and Dinkie volunteered to watch Poofball.

Hey guys, I am so sorry I hadn't been updating this story. I am currently working on another story and I also have been really busy with school work(and yes, I did stay up almost all night finishing this chapter).
The Broken Family
Screwball had been in her room for a while now. Poofball wasn't sure of what to do. She doesn't get it. What does mom mean by that? Daddy would never leave them....right? Screwball finally came out of her room, her face wet with tears from crying. Screwball came out to serve dinner. She didn't have much of an appetite. So she put her fork down and asked Poofball,"So, how was school, sweety?"
"It was fine." Poofball replied. She wanted to know more about what happened between her mother and father, but she didn't dare to ask knowing that it would only make her mother cry.
"That's good." Screwball said.
"This is my home,"He answered,"I live here,what's wrong, honey?"
"Don't honey me!" Screwball yelled,"and you don't live here anymore, don't just pretend that you don't know what you did!"
"I don't understand, what did I do?"
"Stop acting dumb! I saw you with her in OUR bedroom!"Screwball yelled,"and I kicked you out!"
"What do you mean? I've been at work all day." Mothball was confused. He tried to remain calm but it was increasingly hard as his wife has been yelling at him since he walked in the door. What girl? He thought. He would never cheat on Screwball.
Screwball screamed and teleported Mothball out of the house and put a shield over it. Mothball tried his best to get in and reason with her that she was mistaken. But it wouldn't work. He went to Discord's house to stay the night. But when he got there, Screwball had already told him what happened. Discord ranted to Mothball and kicked him out too.
Mothball made his own hut just away from his house. He stood up all night thinking about what happened. Screwball should've been able to tell he wasn't lying, but she didn't. He put conclusions together, changlings are responsible for this.
~========~
Mothball went to the changing hive the next morning to get answers.
"What on Earth are you talking about, Mothball?" The queen asked.
"I think a few of you changlings pretended to me and ripped my family apart." Mothball answered.
"I know that part, but why would they do that?"
"I don't know, that's why I came to you."
"Why are you asking me about this?"
"Because maybe you can help me figure this out with me, please?"
"Ok, I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you."
It had been a a few days after and there was no sign of progress. Nobody would fess up to this. He knows he hadn't of cheated on Screwball. Unless he was brainwashed and forgotten what he did. He has been trying to talk to her, but Screwball ignores him and goes on her way. He can't even see his daughter. Not even Discord is talking to him.
~========~
It has been several weeks now since the incident? Screwball wants to get a divorce, but somewhere in her mind is telling her not. She has calmed down after crying and yelling for a few weeks? She never yelled at Poofball for anything that had happened, since she knew it wasn't her fault. Screwball now thinks of what Mothball had said, he seemed confused and worried about what happened. Had she been hallucinating, or did it actually happen? She is now very confused as she sits on her bed, alone.
Maybe he didn't cheat on me. She thought. But if he didn't, then why didn't I notice he wasn't lying to me? I would've known had lied to me.
She had a feeling it was a misunderstanding. But she still thinks he cheated on her
Poofball came home from school exhausted. She went straight to her room and plopped onto her bed. Screwball followed behind her and sat down beside her on her bed.
"Is something wrong, sweetie?"
There was no reply.
"What's wrong honey?"
Poofball bursted into tears and sniffed,"Ponies at school are saying that daddy left us because of me."
"No, sweetheart. This is not your fault." Screwball reassured her, but it didn't help too much. She continued sobbing as Screwball tried to calm her down. This is tearing their entire family apart. Screwball has to do something.
Screwball went out to find Mothball. She couldn't find him anywhere. She searched everywhere he could've been. She finally finds him after hours of looking.
"Hey.." Screwball said softly
Mothball is confused, it had been weeks since they had last talked,"Hey."
"I'm sorry about earlier, I was so mad I couldn't think or anything."
"It's ok." Mothball doesn't make eye contact.
"Did you actually cheat on me with her?"
"What? No! I would never do that to you."
He wasn't lying. He never had cheated on her.
"I know, I realized that now, you're not lying."
"I know."
They both walk home to their daughter while chatting.
"Do you know which changling pulled this off? And why didn't I notice about something was off and that I couldn't tell wether you were lying to me or not?" Screwball asked.
"I don't know, we are still looking, but there is no luck, at least we rare together again. But, I don't know why you couldn't tell. Maybe you were so mad you didn't notice. We better sort things out with Discord though." Mothball replied.
"Yeah"
They made it to Discord's place and sorted out everything. Then went back home to their daughter. Poofball was very happy that they were back together as a family again.
~========~
"Hey, honey? Do you think you can run to the store for some errands? I'm going out with Dinkie to the spa." Screwball asked.
"Sure sweetheart,"Mothball answered,"come one Poofball, we got to go to the store while your mother is away."
"Ok" Poofball obeyed and went with her father to the store.
Mothball and Poofball came out of the store and saw Screwball. They were going to go over to say hi, but then Mothball saw her with another Stallion. He was furious and teleported home.
"What's wrong, daddy? Poofball asked with concern,"who was mommy with?"
Mothball didn't answer but ordered Poofball to go to her room. She obeyed quietly wondering what had happened.
Screwball came home a while later and things went bad. Poofball could hear her parents yelling at each other. Right when something was resolved, something else bad had shown up. She started crying as Screwball again cried after but then she heard Screwball teleport out of the house. She probably went to Discord's house for the night. She heard Mothball mutter to himself but couldn't understand what he said. He slammed his door shut and went to bed. Poofball cried herself to sleep that night. What went wrong?
