Becoming a mother

Chapter 1: secrets revealed

There they were, sat in the room that she feared the most. The tiles were so white they gave a shine to the room as she looked over at the multiple diagrams and charts on the hospital wall she wondered what the answer would be. Those thoughts were circling in her head until a short white stallion with a stethoscope for a cutie mark walked in and gaver her the news she didn't want to hear, she... was pregnant.

"That... Can't be," Scootaloo managed to sorrowfully whisper only just audible for the doctor and Scootaloo's foster mother, emerald sky. She was a (unsurprising) shiny green earth pony with a contrasting blue mane and tail. She had fostered Scootaloo when she was first moved to Ponyville from Canterlot.

At first she saw it as a way to comfort a filly who had been a victim of such a terrible start in live, not knowing her pairents and being unable to fly was not ideal for a Pegasus of her age. Only being 7 when she had arrived Emerald was sure she'd learn within a few months and a loving family would come along and swoop her up to give her a real chance and life.

But that never happened. 8 years had passed and she still couldn't fly and now to make things worse, she was pregnant.

"Are you sure you've got the right test results doc" Emerald said, slight hope in her voice as she placed her hoof around a now crying Scootaloo. "I mean there's got to be a mix up here, she can't be pregnant she hasn't even had... You know... Sex" she whispered that last part in hope that Scoots didn't here it but it was clever by the pain on her face that she did. "Dear Celestia!"

"I... I have" Scootaloo said, her voice dry and empty of any emotions. "Last week at school... This Colt, Fierce storm he... Pinned me... Up... Up against the wall and told me to meet him in the colts locker room after the hoof ball game or I wouldn't see another day" Scootaloo, now visibly in tears continued "I did as he said and there were too many of them... I couldn't stop them... They... Used me"

The colour from Emerald's face was now flushed as she heard the terrible incidents that occurred that day. But one question remained in her mind "why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Throughout they had taken photos of me doing those... Things and said they'd show everypony if I told anyone so I just kept quiet" the filly spoke, not much louder than a whisper.

"And when I tried to talk to him the next day he just told me that I was a dirty filly and that I was worthless" a shiver ran down her spine as she noticed a movement outside her door, and heard the handle click.

She was then greeted by the one mare who brought her happiness beyond belief. Rainbowdash was stood in the entrance to the room, sweat visible on her brow. As she trotted onto the room she saw the looks on Scoot's and Emerald's faces. "What happened here?" she asked in her cocky tone that never wavered unless the scene called for it. It soon became clear that this was one of those very times. "What's up scoots? Is everything ok?" She said in a more caring manner not usually heard from the daredevil enthusiast.
Scootaloo didn't reply instead taking the slip the doctor had given her and pushing it towards rainbow dash. She openly gasped as she read what the note said.

Patient: Scootaloo
Issue: sickness and dizziness
Diagnosis: pregnant

Rainbows mouth now hanging low only served as a cover to what was truly happening on the inside.

Without warning she flew across the room and held Scootaloo tightly. With the new found comfort she felt Scootaloo started to openly sob into rainbows prismatic mane as all the pent up emotion overflow into a river of sorrow.

After five or so minutes rainbow heard something come from her number one fan "no one will want me now" Scootaloo said, matter of factly "a flightless and pregnant teenage Pegasus, good life I turned out to have".

Rainbow glared with pure anger in her eyes "who did this to you." Before scoots had the chance to reply Emerald whispered the story into her ear. Rainbows face turned from a look of enquiry to one of shock and disbelief, How could somepony do that to her. Her eyes now fixated on Scootaloo as a fire raged within them but she calmed her tone and bit back the temptation to kick Fearce Storms plot in.

"I promise we'll fix this ok squirt" she said using that nickname that had become a staple to scoots childhood. Over the years Rainbow had become a sister figure for Scootaloo and she knew she felt safe and un-judged by her idol. Emerald didn't mind though as it gave her ample time to do what she needed while dash took care of Scootaloo. But what of this now?

==============***==============

Once they were out of the hospital Emerald took Scootaloo straight back to her foster home once she said her goodbyes to Rainbow. The thing that pained Emerald is that she knew what had to happen to the foal.

Because Scootaloo was in care she could chose to keep the foal if she wanted to, but once the foal was born it was put up for adoption. Those were the rules. Rules Scootaloo was far too aware of.
