Shattered Trust

"What's taking so long?" asked Sunset, as after she got sick to the point of being pale and almost collapsing, Fluttershy & Pinkie decided to take Sunset to see a doctor.

"The doctor will be back soon." said Fluttershy.

"I just want to know what's happening with me." said Sunset.

"We all do, just try to relax." said Fluttershy.

"It's probably the flu or something." said Pinkie.

"Hopefully." said Sunset.

"Miss Shimmer?" said Dr. Flashwing, as he entered the room.

"Yes." said Sunset.

"I got the answers to why you've been having this sickness." said Dr. Flashwing.

"What is it?" asked Sunset.

"Well..........congratulations Miss Shimmer, you're pregnant." said Dr. Flashwing.

"WHAT!" said Fluttershy & Pinkie in happy surprise.

"I'm pregnant." said Sunset in disbelief.

"Yes, however it's only one of the reasons for this sickness of yours, the other reason is the anxiety & stress that you've been having can also make you sick." said Dr. Flashwing.

"So the common sense is relax, got it!." smiled Sunset.

"Also there is a tiny bit of concern about your stomach being a bit smaller than what is the "norm" for being pregnant. You're also about 5 and 1/2 months along. So I once again, I do strongly advise for you to relax and take care." said Dr. Flashwing

"I will, thank you doctor." said Sunset and the doctor smiled before leaving the room.

"WOW!!!!!!!!!!!, OH MY GOSH!!!!!!, OH MY GOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!, Sunset's having a baby!!!!!!!!!!!, even know we all wish the circumstances on how it happened were a little better, BUT THIS IS STILL AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkie happily exclaimed.

"Sunset? are you okay?" asked Fluttershy, as Sunset was busy staring off into space.

"I'm going to be a mom." Sunset said quietly to herself.

"Hey we both know you're scared, however you won't be alone." smiled Pinkie.

"And we'll always be here." said Fluttershy.

Sunset smiled "Thank you both." she said.

"We should celebrate this." said Pinkie.

"There's something i'd like to do first." said Sunset

"What?" asked Fluttershy & Pinkie.

-

The Sparkle Family was having a normal dinner, Twilight talked about her science inventions(again) and the rest of the family shared what happened during the days events, before Night Light could talk about the events at his job the doorbell rang. Twilight froze when she opened the door and saw Sunset, Fluttershy & Pinkie were standing in the doorway.

"S-s-suns-e-t, Fluttershy, Pinkie, what are you doing here?" asked Twilight.

"I need to talk to your brother." said Sunset.

"Umm.............. Sunset, my parents and most importantly Cadence are here." Twilight said quietly.

"This is really important Twi." said Sunset.

"Twilight who's is at the do-" asked Twilight Velvet walking towards the front door, she gave the three in front of the door a annoyed look.

"Nice to see you Miss Velvet." said Sunset.

"The feeling would be mutual, if it wasn't for what happened with the party your group had here." said Velvet.

"We didn't mean for the party to get that out of hand." said Fluttershy.

"What are you even doing here?, I strictly told Twilight to stay away from your group." said Velvet

"Dear, what's going.............. oh! Miss Shimmer, Shy & Pie. What do we owe this pleasure?" asked Night Light, entering the room with Cadence & Shining.

"I have to tell Shining something." said Sunset

"What is it?" asked Shining.

"Well how do I put this lightly......................... Shining you knocked me up." said Sunset.

"You have got to be making this up, Shining would never be so stupid to not............." Velvet paused when she saw the guilty look on her son's face. She then left the room frustrated.

"Dear where you going?" asked Night Light.

"To that bar you had built downstairs." responded Velvet.

"I'll go talk to her." said Shining.

Velvet had already poured herself a full glass of whiskey and was almost halfway through it by the time Shining got downstairs.

"Do you want to slow down there?" asked Shining.

"How can you be calm?" asked Velvet.

"I'm not, i'm extremely nervous right now." said Shining.

"That's what happens when you forget to be safe." said Velvet.

"Mom!" said Shining.

"I'm allowed to put my two cents in this situation, you were the one who failed to make sure things during that party didn't get out of hand." said Velvet, then taking another drink.

Shining groaned and put his head down on the bar.

"Um.............. hello?" said Sunset, who was mid-way down the stairs with Cadence behind her.

"Hey join the party." said Shining.

"I-um came down to talk to you." said Sunset, causing Shining to sit up.

"Well I think you three should have some time to talk about this." said Velvet, as she walked back upstairs.

"So what happens now?" asked Sunset.

"First talk about what happened." said Cadence, she sat down one of the bar's stools and motioned for the other two to sit.

"O-o-kay." said Sunset nervously.

"Sunset, i'm not mad." said Cadence.

"Y-y-your not?" asked Sunset.

"Not anymore...........(sigh) of course I was pissed about you and Shining sleeping together, however the more I thought about the situation, the more I realized it was a drunken hookup and I was in a similar situation to this back in college." said Cadence.

"You where?" asked Sunset

Cadence sighed "When I was in college I not only slept with a guy, but I also dated him for a little while. However he failed to tell me, he was engaged! It ruined his relationship, there was yelling, I got slapped by his fiance and I've never seen him again." she said.

"Meanwhile I've been dealing with that anonymous person who's made everyone believe I've gone back to my old ways and spreading everyone's secrets around." said Sunset quietly.

"Yes!, Principal Celestia told me about this issue at your school, are your alright?" said Cadence.

"I'm getting there, both Pinkie & Flutters have been by my side since this began." said Sunset.

"Have you and Twilight talked since she found out about are...." asked Shining.

"Other than today just once, hopefully we can make up soon." said Sunset.

"Don't worry you two will." said Shining with a comforting smile.

Sunset sighed "I hope your right."

-

Meanwhile back upstairs! Things were awkward in the living room, as it had been filled with silence for the last 15 minutes.

"So................ how much longer do you think, the three of you will be staying here today?" asked Night Light.

"Ummmm....... well we didn't really plan on anything, Sunset just said she wanted to come here and tell Shining........ the news and that was it." said Fluttershy nervously.

"I see, well hopefully the both of you can keep her out of trouble, even know the situation is nowhere ideal, Sunset is going to be the mother of my grandchild and she's also my daughter's acquaintance, your friend and lastly despite "that party!" I can tell who's a good person." said Night Light, shocking everyone else in the room by his kind words.

"I-i-i didn't think you would say that." said Twilight.

"Neither did I." said Velvet, now a little buzzed.

"Well it's not ideal to solely hang on to the first impression of a person and judge them on that, without giving them any chance to see if they are a good person." said Night Light.

Soon Shining, Cadence & Sunset returned from the basement, further easing the feeling in the room.

"Oh! did everything end up alright?" asked Night Light.

"Yes dad." said Shining.

"That's always nice to hear." said Night Light.

"I think the three of us should head out, it was nice to tell all of you the news and hopefully we can talk soon." said Sunset.

"Goodbye." said Night Light, with Velvet just giving a wave.

Sunset, Fluttershy & Pinkie said their goodbyes and the three got to Shy's car when Twilight came fast walking out of her house.

"Sunset! hold on." said Twilight.

"Twi what is it-----" said Sunset, before she was interrupted by a hug from Twilight.

"Sorry I just didn't say a proper goodbye." said Twilight breaking the hug.

"Well thank you and i'll see you tomorrow?" asked Sunset.

"Yes." smiled Twilight.

"YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we're all friends!!!!!!!!!!" cheered Pinkie.

Twilight waved goodbye as she watched her friends drive away.
