That moment you realize you're awake.
15: That moment when you realize you know what the doctor is going to tell you.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAuthor's note: Since the story is only in first person, I figured "Hey, why not change it up a bit and switch characters for a chapter!"
Ah, hello my loyal subjects. I am Princess Celestia as you know.
The next day, Seethe was going to be with Royal guard captain; Shining Armor. Talking about what's its like to be married, how to get over wedding anxiety, and they will begin some basic plans for the wedding. In the mean time; I will be visiting a top-notch doctor to examine me. Seethe's father says that it could be just a stomach virus, but when you go nearly 600 years without getting even minor cough, you tend to think it could be something more than just a common virus.
I have not been to any doctor, shaman, or anything else. With the exception of a dentist. (I do have a sweet tooth for cake).
I had gone to the hospital. During the previous day I had sent Seethe to make an appointment with Doctor 'Red'. I had gone straight to the front desk and told them of my noon appointment. A kind nurse had nervously taken me to examination room 5. She had held the door and said the doctor would be there soon, then she left.
I simply planted my rear end in the center of the room and waited.
I let my mind wander. I began to think about what I wanted the wedding to be like.
The doctor entered the room while I was still in my thought world. She gave me a slight fright when she greeted me.
"Hello, Princess Celestia" She greeted with a smile. A small clipboard followed her.
"Hello Dr. Red." I greeted in return after returning to reality.
She stood before me and read the clipboard. "According to Mr.Master, you woke up and just began throwing up?" She asked setting the clipboard on a counter top beneath a large assortment of cabinets against the wall. "There are only two things this could be: Common stomach virus or Royal Pregnancy. There is an easy way to test." A pregnancy test floated in front of my eyes. "Take this into the restroom and urinate on the instructed end." she instructed.
I took the pregnancy test into the bathroom. I held it beneath me while I urinated. On the box they said urinate on one end, wait 5 minutes, and then it would tell me.
I waited and waited. 5 minutes felt more like 5 days. Once the 5 minutes had passed I looked at the test.
I wasn't sure whether to cheer or cry.
That moment you realize you're drunk.
Seethe here again.
My dad and Shining armor each had a chance to chat with me and each other about married life.
They both gave very interesting input. Dad said that foals were definitely an excellent idea if the relationship is strong. Shining Armor said they would be a drain of funds, time, and even emotions. But in the end worth it with all the memories and additions to a family.
However barley an hour after we had started talking, we got bored. So, I suggested we hit up a bar.
We did.
We found an excellent bar Shining Armor usually went to when he needed a drink. It was about a mile south from the castle. We had taken a seat in a booth near the wall. It was a nice, dark, almost depressing bar. Maybe nice isn't a way most would describe it, but the atmosphere was......bar-ish.
Anyway, about 6 drinks in my Dad was wasted. He was the light weight of our group. Shining Armor and I were practically in a drink off. At about 13 drinks we were pretty much wasted too.
"Seethe my friend.........a trash can is more important that you!" Shining Armor insulted me.
Yes, we had started in insult war.
"Shut up, you'll never be the stallion your mother was!" I shot back sending my Dad into a fit of laughing. on the floor.
Shining Armor gulped down his shot then poured another one for himself.
"O-oh yeah? Well if y-your face was on fire, I would stomp it out, a-and it would be an improvement." He shot back. My Dad just banged his head on the table as he laughed.
I took a shot. "I may be dr-drunk, and you may be u-ugly. but tomorrow.......I'll be sober." I said smugly.
"Dang....hold on.............aw I got nothin' " Shining Armor said. He took down his last shot and just let himself pass out and fall out of the booth. Dad took the bottle put it to his lips and just drank it down until he passed out and what was left of the bottle fell to the floor beside him. I then lifted the bottle off the floor and drank the last of it. Then just passed out in the booth.
Celestia.
I had come back to castle to lay in my bedroom and think about how to tell Seethe about what I knew. Instead, I found that Seethe, Shining Armor, and Seethe's father had been drinking and apparently found passed out in a bar by a few off-duty guards. The guards had dragged them back to the castle and left Shining Armor in his own bedroom. They had left Seethe's father in Luna's bed. As a joke, and left Seethe in our bed. When I entered the room he gave a snore. I just decided to lay in bed and begin to read a few books I had bought on pregnancy.
