Discord is What?!?!

Three months later....

Fluttershy paced her cottage anxiously. It is her Tuesday Tea with Discord but he is an hour late and this made her worried. His pregnancy has been a little unpredictable for him lately ever since he started showing systems. There was a flash and Discord appeared looking exhausted. There were dark circles under his eyes and he seemed a bit shakey.

"Discord!!" She flew to him before he collapsed. She helped him to the couch where he gingerly layed himself on the side allowing his belly to be exposed, which was about the size of a pony or two.

"I-I'm ok, I just need to rest that's all."He lays his head down on a pillow she gave him.

"What happened?"

"I spent most of the night going to the bathroom and about two hours this morning puking my guts up. I'm sorry I'm late."

"It's ok but you have been getting worse lately and using magic is probably going hurt you and the baby."

"But it is the only way I can get here from my place."

Fluttershy thought about it for a moment until her faced brightened up at an idea. "What about you move to Ponyville!?"

"Move to Ponyville?"

"Yeah! You will be much closer to me and the girls and your child will be able to interact with ponies their age."

Discord pondered it for a minute then smiled. "That sounds like a good idea."

"Are you sure about this?" Discord was with Twilight in her castle. He had some luggage with him and Starlight and Spike were carrying them for him as they were going to his room.

"I have a lot of extra bedrooms that I hardly use." Twilight.

"But are you sure your OK with me and my child living here?"

"Of course I'm sure! You will be more comfortable here and if your child has any....magical bursts, it will be contained to here."

"And you can study draconequus growth." mumbled Spike.

They stopped at one of the doors and Twilight opened it to reveal a big bedroom that was perfect for Discord's size.

"I took the liberty of resizing it for you." Twilight said while Starlight and Spike set his bags down by the bed.

"It looks very nice, thank you Twilight."

"There is something else I need to show you." She then led him to the door of the room next to his room. "Close your eyes."

He was confused but obeyed. He heard the door open and was led inside.

"Ok, open them." Twilight.

He opened his eyes and found he was in a nursery. In the corner there was a crib made from apple wood with a lavender blanket inside and a cloudsdale mobile above it. Next to it was a dresser with a changing table and baby clothes on top. In the opposite corner there was a rocking chair big enough for Discord to sit in and next to it was a book shelf filled with books. On the floor there was a soft-thick rug with a variety of baby toys on it. And in the the middle of the room were Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity.

"SURPRISE!!!!" They all yelled in unison.

"We just couldn't wait to make this for you!" Fluttershy.

"I made the crib, dresser, and the rocking chair!" Applejack.

"I made the blanket, rug, and baby clothes!" said Rarity as she held the baby clothes with her magic.

"I got the mobile and changing table!" Rainbow.

"I got the toys for you're cutesy-woosy baby to play with!" Pinkie.

"I got the baby books and book shelf!" Twilight.

"Fluttershy planned the whole thing." Starlight.

Discord was speechless and he stood still for several minutes before moving to the the crib. He stroked the bedding as he gazed at it.

"Do you like like it?" Fluttershy.

"It's....it's...", his eyes watered up as he struggled with his words, "It's.... perfect." He smiled warmly as he embraced them in a hug. "Thank you everypony. Your the best friends I have ever had."

They cuddled each other for a while until Discord's stomach growled.

"Maybe we can celebrate with dinner?" said Discord sheepishly.

Everyone erupted into laughter, including Discord.

"It's going to be nice having you live here!" Twilight.

The next few months were difficult for Discord. It turns out that the baby was growing right on top of his bladder, causing him to go to the bathroom constantly. This made it difficult for him to get some sleep during the night so he was always tired. He also suffered from extreme mood swings that happen out of no where, increased appetite that makes Twilight restock the kitchen almost everyday, and his feet are constantly sore. His friends try their best to make him feel comfortable but with him being so close to due date, are having a bit more difficult time doing so. By now his belly is a size of three ponies and you can see that the pregnancy has taken it's toll on him. He has dark circles under his eyes from the lack of sleep and his usually well-kept charcoal mane is a mess. When he walks he waddles a little due to his overgrown belly. By now he is emotionally spent and just wants the baby to come out already.

There was a knock at the castle door and Twilight rushed to it. She opened it and was relieved to find Princess Cadence, Shining Armor and her niece.

"We came as soon as we could." Cadence.

"Thank you for coming." Twilight lets them inside and leads them as she talks. "I didn't know what else to do. Fluttershy couldn't help him and I'm hoping since you guys have delt with pregnancy before that you will have a better chance to help him."

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Shining Armor with Flurry Heart in on his back.

"I'm not positively sure but I think it is partly due to his pregnancy symptoms." Twilight.

"I still can't believe that he is pregnant." Shining Armor.

They walked down the hall until they came in front of Discord's room. Behind the door they can hear sobbing coming from the draconequus.

"How long has he been like this?" Shining Armor.

"Three days." Twilight then turned to leave. "Good luck."

Once she left, the trio opened the door and walked in. They found Discord in bed wearing a pink robe with crumbled tissues
all around him and a tub of ice cream that he kept scooping into his mouth between sobs.

"Discord..." Cadence.

He was startled for he didn't hear them come in and didn't expect them to be there in the first place.

"P-princess Cadence? Shining A-armor? What are y-you guys doing here?" His eyes were puffy and had tear stains around them as he stared at them.

"Twilight asked us to come believing we could help you." Shining Armor.

Discord stayed silent as he clutched his tub of ice cream. Cadence sat next to him and look down at his expanded belly.

"I remember when I was pregnant it was hard for me as well and I understand that by now you are at your emotional breaking point." She puts a hoof on his shoulder. "From what I experienced, it helps to talk about what is bothering you."

"I....I don't know if I can be a good p-parent." Discord teared up again.

"I thought Twilight and the others already talked to you about this." Shining Armor.

"I know but....", tears trickled down his cheeks, "I-I just don't feel confident of myself."

"I understand. I felt exactly the same way during my pregnancy and I can't imagine how much so since you're a single parent." Cadence took Flurryheart from Shining Armor and cradled her in her arms while she giggled happily. "But what I do know is that you should just try your best to give them the life they deserve." She then placed a hoof on his paw. "I'm not saying that you will make all the right choices because we are not perfect but all you can do is love your child with all of your heart."

"But I have no idea how to take care children and the parenting books that Twilight got me are so confusing." Discord layed his head down. "I don't even know how to change diapers! I feel so unprepared and I am unprepared. As it comes closer to due date, I get more and more scared of failing because I don't even know how to take care of my own child!"

"So, if I'm hearing you correctly, you have been worried because you don't know how to take care of a baby?" Cadence.

"Yes." Discord.

Cadence and Shining Armor looked at each other then both smiled as they shared an idea.

"Discord, I think we can help you." Cadence.

"Really?" Discord with his ears perked.

"If its alright with you, we can teach you how to take care of babies." Shining Armor.

"You really do that for me?" Discord was shocked by what he was hearing.

"Of course! Even though we can't stay long, we can still help you get started and afterwards we can give you more guidance." Shining Armor.

Discord felt overwhelmed by joy as he reached out and grabbed them into a hug. Tears filled his eyes as he thanked them repeatedly. He eventually let them go and the next few days were of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor teaching him how to take care of babies.
