Author's Note

Edited:
Sorry I didn't put on this chapter how Lifeheart do the check-up. I have no idea on check-ups or even hospitals, I've never been in one and I've never been sick or at a fatal injury, It's really hard research when you're wifi is almost at it's due date and still a kid that doesn't know how to let her imagination flow through her mind

Please correct me down in the comments to make some improvements to this Chapter and please enjoy.

The Threat

Rainbow Dash and Twilight are walking together at a smooth path of dirt to Ponyville General Hospital for their regular every moth checkup. Now, Twilight and Rainbow are going to know if the foal is a filly or a colt that made Rainbow Dash happier than the pregnant alicorn herself.

Twilight looked at her side and saw her wife, trying to smush all her excitement and buried down beneath her guts, like what she does when she didn't want to summon Sonic Rainbooms, that can wake up all sleeping ponies in Ponyville. Twilight smiled when she saw Rainbow sweating, sweating sweat of impatience. Rainbow Dash was looking from left to right and right to left, she was avoiding the alicorn's gaze and even her gravid belly.

Rainbow Dash started to put both of her wings in her ears then started to think and talk to herself, "Breath Rainbow, breath, remember you aren't the one pregnant," She started to inhale deeply and let all of her impatience out when she exhaled, she really needs to say thank you to Twilight when she taught her that technique.

Though thinking it through what the foal's gender is really getting a father excited. Since Rainbow is the father, it's going to be a little weird but still has the symptoms of what a father would be just finding out what the baby's gender is. Rainbow Dash have been a little overprotective with Twilight since she knew that she was pregnant, well not a little overprotective, maybe super overprotective.

They arrived at the Hospital and walked at the reception with a VIP sign up above. The nurse behind it, was reading the latest Ponyville Newspaper before she realised the two ponies fall in line, she gave them a warm smile before saying; "Mrs. Sparkle and Mrs. Dash! I see you two are here for the regular check-up?"

"Yes, and we are excited to know if the foal is a filly or a colt!" Twilight returned the warm smile as she said those words, she noticed Rainbow put her wing around Twilight, Twilight seemed to be comfortable with Rainbow's wing around her body, it really soothes her and sometimes a stress relief.

"I'll get, Life to attend you're needs," She moved towards the mic at her side, she started to talk but nothing can be heard at the speakers of the hospitals.

After she was done talking, she looked back at Twilight and Rainbow Dash then nodded, a 'poof' from their back can be heard causing all the attention at the main room of the hospital. Twilight turned at her back, removing the wing that was covering her body, her body started screaming at her for removing the wing on her back, but it was worth it, she saw a mare that had a yellow coat and a orange mane and tail with a strand of red. Her Cutie Mark was a Red Cross and healing particles all over.

Rainbow Dash soon turned back and saw the doctor that had been there for her and her friends from the very beginning of their adventures as friends and family. Twilight and Rainbow started to walk near the doctor, that was apologising the ponies that jumped from her sudden teleportation. When she was done apologising, she looked back at the ponies she was about to attend their needs,"Twilight! Rainbow! Here for the check-up I see, well then, follow me!"

The two nodded then followed the mare into the room. Rainbow Dash sneaked her wing on Twilight's back, again trying to comfort the alicorn. Twilight looked at her wife, she saw how Rainbow quickly looked away then started to whistle, Twilight rolled her eyes then looked back at the doctor they are following. Rainbow noticed her wife isn't watching her, she leaned over at the alicorn and breathed in, her nostrils were filled with Twilight's scent, she gave the alicorn a bump on the flank with hers, Twilight looked and was welcomed by the pegasus' warm lips with hers.

Rainbow broke the kiss then smiled victoriously at her wife, Twilight smiled then looked back at the pony in front of them, she had a grin on her face. A sly grin. That only means that she knew Rainbow was about to kiss her, for the past few years she had known Lifeheart she knows what that meant, and look she started to blush violently.

Lifeheart stopped on a green door then her horn glowed a red aura surrounding the door nob before ticking it open, the room had a long bed, a monitor, a cart with doctor stuff and a window. Twilight looked around her surroundings, and saw to couches at the corner pictures hanging on the wall and a shelf full of hospital books, she walked at the bed then laid down.

The check-up didn't take long when Lifeheart was done, she had said all the things that was needed to be said, except one. Rainbow Dash seemed to notice what it was,"Hey, Life, I think you're missing something,"

Lifeheart looked over at her shoulder peeking the rainbow-maned pegasus,"And that is what exactly?" Her tone was nothing but innocent.

Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight the back at Lifeheart, her ears flattened, words can't be formed. Twilight grabbed Rainbow's hoof on hers holding it hoof tight, her face was as sad as Rainbow's, they were expecting the foal's gender but none came. Lifeheart looked back at what she was doing.

She turned at her back and saw two mares, eyes started to water and ears flattened. Lifeheart levitated a box and then walk right next to the two, and gave the box to the pegasus in the room,"I heard you're the one that needed to know immediately," Her tone changed into a teasy one.

Twilight looked at her wife with confusion, she nor Rainbow didn't know what was going on. Rainbow opened the box, and a frown crept on her face, inside the box was another box, she looked at the doctor in front of her but before she knew it, she was already gone, Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes then started to open the box, and look she was welcome by another box, her impatience are getting a head of her so she did the technique Twilight taught her. She again opened the box and was surprised by another box, her impatience got a hold of her this time, she rapidly open the box.

The box was long, but worth it. Rainbow Dash flew up in happiness punching mid-air with joy, before she knew it she dropped a long pink paper that landed on Twilight's pregnant belly, Twilight levitated the paper at her head-to-head position and joined Rainbow Dash on hovering up high.

Rainbow Dash went near Twilight and put her forehead to hers, avoiding the horn, the two landed softly, Rainbow Dash put her hoof at Twilight's belly and closed her eyes, while Twilight did the same, the two lasted long just like that until they broke each others embrace.

When they pulled out, Twilight was already lost in those deep pools of magenta and Rainbow was also lost at her eyes,"I love you, Twi,"

"I love you too, Dashie," With those words said, the two leaned over and their lips met, Rainbow Dash took a step forward and Twilight did a step backward, their kiss broke hen Rainbow and Twilight felt a little kick from Twilight's abdomen, the two smiled at each other,"C'mon lets go home before, Spike and Starlight kills me," Rainbow Dash said.

At the Castle of Friendship, the couple didn't know a party was held at the throne room and was hosted by a pink earth pony named; Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was shouting orders there from here until they were finished, all were confused why Twilight and Rainbow Dash isn't at home at this time of the night, but that didn't stop the party.

Rainbow Dash opened the main castle door letting her wife enter, she then closed it softly with her back hoof following Twilight to the throne room and then their bedroom. Twilight an Rainbow's conversations are full of joy and laughter and also about the foal, what will be her favourite toy? Who is her favourite parent? But then again all of that can wait in the morning.

When Twilight opened the door she was surprised to see all her bestest friends surprise her with streamers and confettis, the two were welcomed with warm and welcoming smiles of their friends. There was a long table on the side that has a line in the middle separating the healthy ones to the sweets, just like what they did at training few years ago, Vlyn was also here, she was behind the DJ Booth, their thrones were decorated and the cutie map was also decorated, a big banner was at the top saying; "HOW WAS THE CHECK-UP?"

The room fell silent after the firing off the party canon, all were smiling, no creature can form words to question the couple, so they remain silent. Pinkie Pie can't hold it any longer, so she let all her impatience out by taking a step forward, her expression turned into a fake smile,"Sooooo, how was the check-up?" She those words syllable by syllable.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash were starting to scare the party pony. Rainbow Dash turned her eyes at Twilight and saw how Twilight's eyes looked at Pinkie, so she decided that she will reply the question,"It was fine,"

The room yet again fell silent, each of her friends were red and holding each other's breath. Rarity was now looking like a pray being scared of her surroundings, she wouldn't stop looking from up-left-down-right then repeat. Spike --Who wasn't that excited-- put a claw on her shoulder. Spike removed his claw when Rarity jumped up, releasing straight steams from her nostrils and ears, as she landed she rushed over and leaned at the couple"I can't take it anymore! Twilight, would you please be a darling and TELL ME what's the foal's gender!" She said in a rush, her mane and tail started to frazzle.

Rainbow Dash put her wing on Rarity's chest and pushed her a little while giving her a 'don't you dare' glance, it was good that Rainbow was quick on her feet or Twilight must've slip at the edge of the rug. Applejack helped Rainbow get a hold of the fashionista.

When Rarity was calmed down she sighed and smiled at them sheepishly,"If you don't mind," She cleared her throat,"We have been dying to know about the foal's gender," She kept her voice to usual, but her eyes were twitching. Twilight looked at the back at Rarity and saw the others with the same face, even with her son.

The two mares looked at each other reading the other's mind, and loomed back to their friends dying with anticipation, the two started to grin slyly as their eyes were mischievous at the same time, Pinkie's mane was half deflated,"Well..." Twilight and Rainbow said that in sync as their hooves were put on their chin, also at sync,"It's a little filly!"

Pinkie's mane turned back to it's old self,"Let's get this party started!!!" Cheers of joys came response with their friends as the party goes on and on, until the last creature standing.

Everypony left the Castle of Friendship, a little tired from all the dancing, partying and games that they had did. Spike and Starlight said that they will handle the cleaning at the throne room. Applejack was beat from all the Cider she had, that made Pinkie Pie hello her get home, all drank except for the couple, Twilight was pregnant and Rainbow needs to be there for Twilight.

their walk was pleasant enough, stopped a few times admiring the photos at the shelves at the castle hall. Twilight was tired, too tired, Rainbow Dash can see her covering her tiredness by smiling warmly at Dash. Rainbow stayed quiet for a while, and started to think seriously and also letting her wife share her day today, until Twilight noticed her being silent from their walk.

The two was in front of their door until Twilight noticed Rainbow lost in thought,"Something bothering you, Dashie?" She opened the door with her magic. Rainbow Dash seemed to notice that her wife had caught up with her silent mood.

She walked inside their room followed by Twilight, then closed the door behind as she clicked the lock with her forehooves,"Yeah. But you know me, I'll get over this,"

"You're worried about the foal's kind, aren't you?" Rainbow jumped a little, it looks like Twilight just read her mind. She remained silent until Twilight was at the bed sitting.

She breathed in and then out,"Well why wouldn't I be? Life didn't even say anything about the foal's kind," She paused then joined her wife at bed,"It's just, if she is a pegasus, well we'll have the best time together as mother and daughter, if she's a unicorn, I'll have to find a way to make her have time with me," She paused, a long pause. Twilight motioned her to lay down in bed, as she laid down, Twilight put her ears at Rainbow's chest, hearing her heart beat,"And if she's a alicorn, the two of us might end up on a fight, trying to know if who teaches our kid the best,"

Twilight giggled at the last,"Well, I won't fight my wife because of some stupid competition, she made up," She snuggled on her chest,"We'll just make schedules or teach her at the same time, but also we have to avoid fighting. I love you so much that makes me hate fighting you,"

This time Rainbow giggled at the last,"You're right, Twi, I think I'm just overreacting, and I love you too," She kissed her forehead,"Goodnight, Egghead,"

"Goodnight, Crash,"

Rainbow Dash woke up in a Dark place which made her had goosebumps as a voice echoed, "So you must be the one and only, Rainbow Dash," A shadow stallion emerged in the darkness with a emerald necklace. He gave Rainbow Dash a smirk.

"So what gives if I'm Rainbow Dash?" She asked defensively, "Where are we? Who are you?" She added, trying to prevent the fear building up in her stomach.

He chuckled, "This is not a dream but a message. My name is, Vision. The destroyer of once mind, bringer of dark messages and husband of what you and your friends call The Nightmare," He paused after he realised he said his wife's name,"We are at the vision cell, where I bring forth the dark messages that wanted to be delivered. And you, Rainbow Dash have an unread dark message." Vision gave Dash a dooming smile after his last words.

She was still frightened, but replied, "And that message is?"

"Whoah whoah whoah easy there, Rainbow Dash, I don't wanna spoil the news." He paused,"Actually the message is from me," He said. Rainbow Dash still has her defences up for fighting,"I am here to kill the unborn foal that Princess Twilight is carrying, to get revenge on what you and your friends did to my wife," He added. Rainbow's pupils dilated making her defences out of course.

She began to grit her teeth in anger and said hello to her two eyebrows met each other. She then have the courage to answer but this time, she will answer full of anger, "If you dare lay a hoof on her I'll destro--"

Vision cut Rainbow's last word and said,"Oh, Dashie Dashie Dashie. I'm not the one who's going to kill her. you are," He chuckled when he saw Rainbow's face, full of worry, anger and fear for her beloved Twilight and their little bundle of joy.

"No no no no no, NO! This isn't happening wait I can just fight him, Right! That is an awesome idea, but maybe his stronger? No I'm stronger and faster! ARRGG this is so frustrating. Wait. Why isn't Princess Luna here? No matters here I go," She thought to herself, completely not thinking.

Before Rainbow Dash could get near him, his emerald necklace started to glow. Rainbow Dash fell in a hole with her worst fears in all that would shatter her world and will broke her, piece by piece.

"TWILIGHT, NO!" She shouted, but was too late. She was back at the vision cell, and saw Vision giving her the same smile as he did after he let Rainbow watch the scenery. "WHAT DID YOU DO? DID YOU KNOW YOU'VE KILLED THE ONLY MARE THAT GAVE ME HAPPINESS AND COMFORT. YOU ALSO KILLED MY DAUGHTER THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE OUR BUNDLE OF JOY," She shouted at Vision.

"Now you know what I feel," Vision replied and walked towards Rainbow Dash, who was still crying on what she saw. He began to stab Rainbow Dash with her hoof. Rainbow Dash screamed and screamed from all the pain Vision gives her, by simply stabbing her.

Rainbow!

Rainbow Dash!

RAINBOW DASH!

She woke up, breathing heavily, she paced and started to look around her surroundings,"RAINBOW DASH, I CAN'T SLEEP WITH YOU YELLING!!!" The mare beside and was snuggling her complained and shouted angrily at her --Enough that can't wake Spike and Starlight up.

Rainbow looked below and saw Twilight shooting daggers at her. Rainbow Dash hugged the alicorn tight, trying to recover from what she saw, Twilight could only do was stare and hug her back while her face turned sad, she had a hunch of what happened to Dash.

Rainbow broke the hug, her eyes started to water,"Feeling better?" That voice. That voice, she used that voice in her vision, that voice was the same as the one she saw and heard.

"Y-yeah it was j-just a nightmare," Her voice was shaky, as she wiped the water that was watering her eyes and started to stroked Twilight's mane.

Twilight's eyebrows met,"You sure?"

"Definitely! I am Rainbow Dash after all!" She tried to flex her muscles in a sleeping position, and puffed out smoke from her nostrils, which made Twilight's worry disappear and made her giggle,"Plus, I have the most beautiful, cutest, smartest, heck this mare have all qualities that can make everypony love this mare. And that very mare is beside me that made no nightmare get it's way through me," She kissed Twilight forehead.

"If you say so," She rolled her eyes and snuggled Rainbow's chest as she breathed in, filling Rainbow's scent in Twilight's nostrils. Her cuddling stopped as she started to curl in a ball as she groaned in pain. "You ok?!" Rainbow asked a little frightened.

"Y-yeah. It's just --GAH-- Braxton. Hicks. Fake. Contractions." She said between groans and even a cry of pain. Rainbow Dash put her wing around the hurting alicorn.

"Ya sure?" It was her time to say those words.

"Positive. Plus she isn't suppose to due after a few days," Rainbow Dash believed her, she remembered what Lifeheart had said before the big reveal. She tightened her wing around the alicorn. The two said their goodnights again and slept through the night, hoping no nightmare or dream corrupt their slumber.
