-1 Year After The Return of Jon-

"KEEP FIRING MEN! HE CAN'T GET ALL OF US!" A man yelled only for his head to implode a second later. The soldiers continued to fire at the lone man walking towards them. The rounds only pinged off of a bubble shield that surrounded him.

"JUST WHAT IS HE!?" A soldier asked as he reloaded his rifle taking aim once again. A blade ripped through the center of his head killing him instantly.

"HOLD THE LINE! HOLD THE LI-" In an instant the rest of the soldiers collapsed like puppets with no strings. The man stood there looking over the corpses calmly before looking over his shoulder.

"I did not need your help Ripper." The man said coldly as the man mentioned stepped forward.

"I'm sorry sir but you were simply taking to long." Ripper said bowing his head low. "What is our next step?"

"We need to get our numbers up before we can even think of moving on to our main goal. Chaos will once again claim this world and the princesses and their precious little elements will not stop us. Not even the Fist will be able to stand before our might." The man said clenching his fist. "Chaos Dominatus." The man said as a small group of only five others recited back the moto.

-Canterlot Royal Hospital-

I ran through the halls of the hospital pushing doctors and nurses out of my way as I made my way towards my target. I skid to a stop in front of a door ripping it open in a panic. On the other side of the door sat Dash along with a few doctors and nurses. I magicked the doctors out of my way as I knelt right next to Dash. "What happened? Are you ok? Are you hurt? I came as soon as I got the call. Seriously are you ok?" I asked as Dash slapped a hand over my mouth.

"I was feeling a little sick so I came down here to see what was wrong. I am ok. I am not hurt. Calm down." Dash said as I nodded my head as she removed her hand. "The doctor does have something he wants to say though." I turned my attention to the doctor as he get to his feet dusting himself off.

"Yes quite. As I was about to tell Princess Dash before you stormed in here... We found nothing wrong with you. But we did find something rather joyous. You are pregnant Princess Congratulations." The doctor said as my world went dark as I collapsed to the ground fainting.

When I finally did wake up I was staring at the ceiling wide awake now. "You alright Jon?" Dash asked as I turned my head to see Dash in her own bed. I turned my attention back to the ceiling.

"I think I am having a small panic attack... Nothing new really." I said before sighing. "Sooooo... Pregnant huh?" I asked as Dash sighed.

"Yep." She said not really knowing how to act right now. "You know that you are the father right?" She asked as I nodded my head.

"Yep. What the fuck are we going to do?" I asked as I sat up in the bed. "I mean I have been a father before and ran an orphanage for a long time but still... That was a long time ago." I said running a hand through my hair.

"How do you think I feel? I have never been pregnant before let alone spend any amount of time around kids. I don't even know how to take care of a baby. What the fuck are we going to do?" Dash said in a panic as I shrugged.

"Want to know something funny?" I asked as she glared at me. "I never planned for this." I said with a chuckle as her glare remained locked on me. "I'm going through the window behind me ain't I?" I asked as Dash nodded her head slowly. "Oh... Shit." Before I could even react Dash raised her hand launching me out of the window like a bullet. As I continued to fall I began thinking over my situation. "Ah fuck we are going to have to tell Cadance... I am never going to hear the end of this." I muttered before my trip through the air ended rather suddenly with me impacting the cold unyielding ground. "Ow." I muttered as I got to my feet dusting myself off as I looked up at the window I flew through only to see it being repaired. I let out a sigh as I began walking towards the castle once again passing a few confused guards.

On one hand I should go and be with Dash... On the other the ground kinda hurts and windows aren't meant to be used as exits. Oh this was just a cluster fuck and so early in our relationship to... "Ah fuck." I muttered out loud.

"What seems to be the issue Jon?" I heard Princess Cadance ask causing me to jump. "You are doing your standard mutterings again. Trouble in paradise?" She asked as I saw that unnatural twinkle in her eye. "You know I can help right? I am always glad to help." I took a step back as she took a step forward. "So what's the issue Jon?" I shuddered at that creepy fucking smile on her face.

"I swear to god we could just send you to the front lines of any war with that stalker attitude of yours and those poor soldiers would beg for death." I said shaking my head out. "Anyway. It's not really a problem more of an unforeseen consequence." Treat it like a band-aid and get this shit over with. "Dash is pregnant." I said bluntly as Cadance's eyes lit up she took a deep breath only to have her voice silenced with my hand tightly around her throat. "Don't. Fucking. Squee. Last time you did you shattered seventeen windows." I said as Cadance gagged nodding her head. "Keep this under your crown I don't know if Dash is ready to tell anyone. To be honest I think she is upset with me." I said releasing Cadance.

"What would make you say that?" Cadance asked as I rubbed the back of my head. "She is going to have a baby and it is going to be so cute." Cadance was about to squee I could feel it in the air. I flicked her forehead catching her attention.

"Focus Cadance. I don't think she was really ready for this bombshell... She is probably freaking the fuck out right now and so am I." I said as Cadance set a hand on my shoulder.

"Jon you were an excellent father. This will be no different. Just breathe this is nothing you haven't dealt with before." Cadance reassured me as I nodded taking a few breaths to clear my mind.

"Thanks Cadance. But seriously keep this under your crown. The last thing Dash needs is for everyone including the press to hound her about this. She is still getting flak for dating me by the other nobles. The last thing she needs is them opening their stupid fucking mouths." Cadance nodded her head sagely thinking it over.

"I will go and talk to her. She could at least talk with someone who has at least been a mother before." Cadance said activating her magic and teleporting away. I stood there sighing as I turned making my way towards my main lab. I wanted to get some work done and clear my mind.
