Someday, or Maybe Tomorrow?
Really?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLightning flew into the room with the foal in his forelegs, slightly nervous, but excited. He didn't know what to expect. Would RD be covered in blood? Would she be sleeping? Weak? Alert?
He looked around. A small radio was on, starting to play Rainbow Dash's favorite song to bawl her eyes out and pig out on ice cream to: "Dreaming With A Broken Heart" by John Mayer. All of RD's closest friends were sitting in chairs by the window. It was pouring rain outside. Pinkie was using a curling iron to re-curl her hair, and she had tears on her face. Twilight Sparkle was chatting with Rainbow, trying to keep her distracted. When she saw Lightning, she motioned for him to sit down. He just hovered in the doorway like an idiot. Fluttershy was sitting the corner, being quiet. Rarity was fiddling with the blanket on Rainbow's bed. Applejack gave him a small smile and looked away.
"Hey, Zappy." A voice said from the other side of the room. Lightning slowly turned around and he saw the most beautiful sight there was to be seen. Rainbow Dash's mane was tied in a messy bun, strands of hair escaping and framing her face. She had 2 bandages, one across her belly and the other down her chest. Her eyes looked tired and had bags under them, and she was sprawled out like she just ran 15 marathons. It was gorgeous. "I know I don't look like a super model right now."
"Are you kidding? You look gorgeous! Baby Blue, you are such a fighter." Lightning snapped out of his stupor and flew over to her. Rainbow's parent came in the room and sat at the window with everyone else. "I heard you didn't really get the chance to see our daughter yet."
"Our daughter? Does that mean..." Lightning handed the baby to her, careful to avoid the cord that connected the bag of blood to Rainbow's leg, and as soon as Rainbow touched the foal, her eyes lost it's tired look and became bright and full of energy. Tears flooded back to the surface as she moved the blanket to see the foal's beauty.
"She looks just like me..." Rainbow Dash breathed, barely audible. She moved the blanket further back, scared that she would find Caramel's brown mane. Instead she found Lightning's mane. "She's yours. Oh my gosh, I love you guys so much!"
Rainbow just looked so happy. Pinkie was vibrating in her chair, asking for a bucket of water. The nurse brought some, and Pinkie dumped it on her head, taking out the fake curls. Within seconds, her mane was naturally curly again.
"What's her name gonna be?" Lightning said. This was an uphill battle for Rainbow Dash. She deserved to have one thing she wanted.
"I want to name her Golden Miracle." Rainbow was stroking Golden Miracle's little curl of mane. "She is a miracle to me. I'm so lucky to have her after all we went through to get her here."
"That's why I said you were a fighter. You never gave up, even when it got hard. Even when your heart stopped twice." Lightning said. "That's one of the reason's I love you. What did the doctor say about treatment?"
"I need to spend another week in the hospital so they can figure out what medicine I need, monitor my blood pressure and check my kidneys." Rainbow Dash said. She unwrapped the filly and handed her to Lightning. "Now, enough about me. Let's see this baby walk!"
Lightning set Golden Miracle on the floor and nudged her a little. She stood up for a second, wobbled a step, and sat down. Lightning nudged her again, Miracle took two more steps. After a while, Miracle started to get it. Rainbow Dash watched from her bed with a proud face. It got to the point that Miracle was trotting from person to person (mostly to Pinkie Pie and back to her parents) when a nurse came and took her to be fed. A hooded figure entered the doorway.
"Sorry I took so long to get here, but I can't miss this." The figure said, removing his hood.
"What's he doing here? Get him out! I don't want him here!" Rainbow Dash was getting hysterical.
"Calm down, Rainbow. Your blood pressure..." Fluttershy warned from her chair.
"I don't care! What is Caramel doing here?! It's none of his business. I-I don't w-want him in G-golden Miracle's life!" Rainbow Dash was beginning to feel lightheaded. She was stuttering. "I-I don't feel w-well. My h-head f-f-feels funny."
"That sounds like the signs of a stroke!" Twilight Sparkle gasped. "Oh Celestia! Someone press the emergency call button. The more time we waste, there's more brain damage that can happen."
"Poor Rainbow!" Rarity exclaimed.
"She's been having an awful hard year. Pinkie needs to throw her a party when we get out of here." Applejack said.
Lightning pressed the emergency call button. You could hear Golden Miracle screaming in the other room. Everyone in the room started to panic as Lightning described the emergency.
"Help! I think my fiance's having a stroke." Lightning cried.
