Angel Wings, Broken Rainbows

Rainbow's eyes opened slowly as she gained her bearings. She looked around the room, taking in every aspect. Quaint furnishings, huge comfortable bed, Angel Bunny snoring softly next to Tank's sleeping shell, and of course the gentle pressure around her middle. She felt the rising and falling of her lover's chest and the warmth of breath against her cyan neck. She didn't want to disturb her partner's rest, but she would've given anything at that moment to see that beautiful golden face draped in her carnation colored mane amidst her wonderful dreams.

"Can't resist."

Rainbow Dash wriggled her way out of Fluttershy's grip, trying her best to ninja herself from the bed without waking the sleeping pegasus.

"Wow.....how can anything be this beautiful."

*gurgle*

"Uh-oh."

Rainbow dashed to the bathroom in a cerulean blur as the previous day's meal began its return trip.

Fluttershy awoke to the sounds of sickness. She raced to the bathroom to see her lover crouched over the toilet.

"Oh goodness, Dashie are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah 'Shy. It's just morning sickness."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"Yeah, go out for a bit. The kitchen's a bit understocked."

"I can't leave you like this...."

"There's nothing you can do for morning sickness. And I'd rather not make you watch me puke. Go get something awesome for dinner tonight."

"No Dashie, I ca-"

" 'Shy, please go."

".....Okay Dashie. I'll be back soon."

Fluttershy slung on her saddlebags and reluctantly left her beloved behind.

"Please don't push me away Dashie."

Fluttershy walked slowly along the path to town, left alone with her thoughts. Something she hadn't experienced much in the two months since.....it happened.

"Dashie has had morning sickness before, but she always lets me comfort her through it. Today she seemed more angry. That can't be true. Still.....what aren't you telling me?"

"Fluttershy!"

Thing golden pegasus let out a small "EEP" as she turned to see the pink party pony joyfully bouncing toward her. It seemed that she'd made it all the way to Sugarcube Corner without realizing.

"Where's Dashie? You guys have been everywhere together the past couple months."

"Oh, well, she's feeling a little sick today. So I came to do some shopping. I didn't want to but she insisted....."

"Oh.....is she okay?" a deep sadness filled Pinkie Pie's face. It was the same sadness that appeared each time Rainbow's circumstances came up.

"Its just morning sickness. Our baby isn't being very kind to Dashie. " Another flash of sadness. Could it be.....

"Well.....you should get her cupcakes! Even when I'm sick, cupcakes always make me feel-"

"Pinkie, are you okay?"

".....Of course I am. I'm just worried about Dashie. She's my.....I mean all of our best friend. I just want her to be okay."

"You love her, don't you Pinkie Pie?"

Shock and fear joined the sadness in the pink pony's baby blues. And soon enough tears began to fall. Fluttershy reached out and wrapped her forehooves around her friend and gently stroked her mane.

"I'm sorry Fluttershy. I love her. I have ever since I first met her. I could see how she felt about you. I just want her to be happy."

"That's what I want too Pinkie. But I want you to be happy too. And so does she."

"I am happy. That's one of the curses of being me. When your special talent is making everypony happy, you can't afford to frown." Pinkie wiped at her eyes with a hoof, her pure and wondrous smile shining through once more, "Come on, let's go find Dashie something that will make her feel a million times better."

"Thank you Pinkie."

Rainbow Dash clutched her stomach as another flare of pain radiated throughout her body.
