Rewrite the Stars

The smell of iron, bleach and medicine surrounded Spike as he sat in the waiting room. Wearing some of Big Mac's clothes he borrowed, the dragon anxiously awaited to hear news of Rachel's condition.

His body shook as the long minutes ticked by. Spike did his best to control his erratic breathing but failed.

Blood, all he saw was Rachel's blood all over the barn. Some of it stained his claws.

Fear was in Spike's eyes as some memories came back as he waited. In that barn...he doesn't know how they ended up there but he remembers his actions after they arrived. The way he acted…

He acted like a monster...the way used Rachel like she was nothing but piece of meat he was fucking. He remembered biting her in places and not closing the wounds up. Spike doesn't even know if Rach ever shouted the safe word or not!

With dragons, its known that they are hardcore rough with sex, going at it like mindless animals with one thing on the minds; with Spike, there was always this underline gentleness he has with Rachel. What he did last night, hardcore wasn't even a word he would describe it.

It was a fucking miracle that his girlfriend was barely breathing at all!

Spike quickly got up, ran into the bathroom. He got to one of the stalls and threw up everything he ate yesterday. Those memories sickened him. It sickened him that he hurt Rachel.

The most beautiful thing in his life he swore he never lay a finger on was being treated by the doctors here.

His moans turned to growls. Anger at himself, consumed in fear and guilt, Spike slammed his fists against the porcelain bowl with all his might. The bowl shatter easily like thin glass, water spraying in the face.

“FUCK!!!!” He snapped, scaring any male out of the restroom if he already hadn't. Grabbing the pipe and twisted to make the water stop.

His body shook before Spike pushed himself against the wall and sobbed. Drenched in the water around him.

“Spike?” he heard Applebloom’s voice from outside of the restroom. “You alright in there?”

Spike ignored her, too lost in his thoughts to respond. He continued to sob almost hysterically, muttering the words I’m so sorry baby...I’m so sorry….

He heard someone coming into the bathroom. Hearing them coming in cautiously, Spike could tell that it was Starlight by her scent. She must’ve just gotten here to the hospital was Spike, Rachel and Applebloom.

“Hey, easy, big guy,” Starlight said as calmly as she could be, kneeling to his side, putting a hand on his leg and back. She gently rubbed his back as Spike tried to get his breathing under control. She didn’t care of stepping all over the wet floor. “There, there, that’s it. In and out.”

It took Spike five minutes to get him slow his breathing enough to where he could speak. “I-I hurt her, Star….” his voice trembling, body shaking. “I-I-I hurt her….”

“I just got off of Twilight, she’s gonna be here soon. The girls will teleport here and meet up with us.” Starlight said softly. “Now, tell me what happened.”

“Ah-I don’t know.” He responded after letting out a hiccup. “I-I don’t know. I woke up and-HICK- she was on t-th -HICK- the hay pile...Oh my fucking god, there was so much~” he cries again.

Starlight stayed with him, letting him let it all out for a moment. “That’s it...I’m sure there’s is something -”

“Starlight y-you don’t understand,” Spike spoke through his tears. “If Rachel dies because of what I did...I can’t fucking live with that!”

He cried for an hour before Starlight fixed the toilet, cleaned the bathroom and freshened up their clothes, the two went back into the waiting room. Spike tries to hold back as best as he could.

Starlight quickly made him and her a cup of jo before they quietly waited.

Twilight, Fluttershy and Applejack poofed in moments later. Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Pinkie ran in too. Rainbow wasn’t there due to her still with the Wonderbolts but more likely knows that their friend was in the hospital.

Rarity, if Spike only knew what she done - after a few drinks into the Iron WIll Special, she slipped a droplet of the corrupted potion into Spike’s drink when both of them weren’t looking. She figured, if she desired Spike before the potion and it amplifying it, Spike - in a part of him that still deeply in love with her - would amplify that as well. What she didn’t expect that his lustful desires did amplify…

He was fidgeting in his seat while everyone talked, his eyes - pupils as thin as a sheet of paper, lizard tongue flicked more than usual. His eyes weren’t looking at Rarity, his eyes were on Rachel’s.

Rachel was the same way, after she drank from Spike’s glass to see if the batch had soured. He complained it tasted a little weird and Rachel wanted to see for herself. She did, though, had a slight better control with herself. But after thirty minutes of what appeared to be torture to the both of them, the two bolted faster than RD on her best day.

Rarity had no idea anything happened till Sweetie Belle told her and they ran into the hospital.

At first she thought Spike gotten hurt but she quickly realized it was Rachel who ended up being treated.

Everything was a blur to the dragon. Spike was just out of it, only trying to get his mind wrap around what exactly happened but he couldn’t. Twilight tried to console him and the other girls tried as well, he did calmed down but only enough to where he could speak clear sentences without crying again.

It wasn’t until an hour later when a doctor came in. An earth mare with red, scootaloo-like mane and blue eyes in a lab coat came up to them. “Anyone here for Rachel Lockhart?”

Everyone stood up for her.

“Is everything okay?” Spike asked the doctor. “Is Rachel okay?”

She nodded. “Rachel is doing fine,” most of the group was relieved by that. The doctor then turned to Spike. “You her lover?”

Spike nodded. “Yeah, I am.”

The doctor motioned her head to the corner, wanting him to come with her and he did. “What’s up?” he asked.

“To be discreet about your partner’s injuries, I don’t think you want others to know,” the doctor said. She then sighed. “Rachel had suffered multiple lacerations, deep bruising, multiple bites along her body and her vaginal walls had a slight tear from repeated penetration. We managed to get her bleeding under control and clean up the wounds.”

Spike leaned against the wall to make himself stand up and not collapse.

“Spike, is it?” Spike nodded to her before letting her continue. “I heard dragons can get rough when it comes to intercourse, but you must realize that Rachel is a human,”

“I know, we’ve been dating for six months..” Spike muttered, rubbing his face with his hands. “This is the first time it ever gotten this out of hand…”

“Needless to say, be more careful, especially with her fertility off the roof.”

Spike’s ears perked. “Um...excuse me?”

The doctor looked at Spike with a glare before softened. “Oh hell, you don’t know do ya?”

Spike sat up, looking at her confused. “Don’t I know what?”

The earth pony squeezed the bridge of her nose and took a moment to compose herself. “Spike, there are a rare few number of humans who have this trait. We call them the Mother Cells. Females, sometimes males, are able to reproduce with beings similar to their own coding. Has Rachel told you that she was pregnant once?”

Spike nodded. “Yeah, but she didn’t know she was pregnant until it was too late...that would explain how she was able to get pregnant by a pony…”

The doctor shown Spike a chart. One looked average, what a female human and pony’s fertility rate. They looked similar but difference since they weren’t the same species. “These are normal.” She turned the page. “These are from the Mother Cells, these were past down from those who were touched by magic eons ago, causing them to breed certain creatures and has passed down those traits to the current generation.”

The chart shown a drastic change to a female’s reproductive and fertility tract. A female human’s chance of being pregnant by a certain creature was almost certain. AT least Spike has a little understanding on how Rachel was able to carry a child from her ex.

“Now Spike, has Rachel been taking supplements to make her more fertile?” the doctor asked him.

Spike shook his head. “No,” he said honestly. “The only thing she takes is a powerful contraceptive potion. It’s called…” Spike scratched the back of his head as he thought. He watched Rachel take the potion all the time. “Xaxarith? Yeah, it’s called Xaxarith. We both take it since they don’t make condoms big enough for dragons.” And that was true.

The pony’s eyes widened. “Wow, that is powerful. Those last a week.”

Spike nodded.

“But what you both don’t know that Xaxarith has a side effect. Once it wears off, the female’s chances of getting pregnant doubles. And since you two were dating for six months, I won’t be surprised if Rachel is now pregnant with your offspring.”

That was when Spike lost his balance and fell on his butt. “What?!”

“What’s going on?” Twilight called out to them as she walked over.

The doctor looked at the princess, gave her a formal nod before saying, “he just got a dose of reality.”

Twilight knelt down to Spike, Spike had so many things going on his mind at once everything sounded like gibberish to him.

This lasted a moment before Spike got up, with Twilight’s help.

“C-can I see her?” Spike asked, almost begging the doctor.

“She hasn’t stopped asking about you since she woke up,” the doctor said. “Now, next time, control yourself.” she patted him on the chest before a nurse came up to her and took her away to another patient.

In her own room, Rachel was in the bed. White gown,bandages along parts of her body, connected to an IV drip and heart monitor. She hummed softly as she watched some TV.

It was the news, talking about the posts and videos the White Mantel kept posting and some ponies were getting aggravated about this. So far, there wasn't any damage to the humans living here or towards ponies.

Bored out of her mind, Rachel reached for the remote before hearing a knock on the door.

“Come in,” she said.

The door swung open and the first then she saw was a massive pile of stuffed animals, balloons and candies trying to push through the door frame.

With a loud shout and a “oh crap!” the pile was flung into the room and Spike ended up on the floor. A pink duck bounced off his head, balloons floated to the ceiling and the toys and candy scattered on the floor.

Rachel giggled, failing to hold back her laughter. “Well, hello!”

Some of Spike’s fear and guilt had melted away just by hearing her wonderful laugh. He could tell there wasn’t any malice, or anger just by her voice and laugh alone.

Spike chuckled softly as he got up to pick up his mess.

“What did ya do? Rob everything the gift shop has and then some?” Rachel asked with a smile as a balloon floated over to her.

A It’s a baby girl balloon.

Rachel grabbed it by it’s pink string, look at it and looked back at Spike, his ears drooped down and looked at her.

“Guessing Doctor Krita told you about the baby thing, huh?”

“Yeah...she did…” After putting all of the stuff neatly in a corner, he pulled a chair closer to Rachel’s bedside and sat down. “H-how are you?” he asked her.

“I’m good. Sore as fuck but I’m alright.” Rachel said. Spike reached over and grabbed her hand.

He brought her hand up and kissed it. “I’m so sorry for last night. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” he said softly.

“Spike, it’s fine. We both were fucked up last night.”

“You remember?”

She nodded. “Bits and pieces, but not a whole lot.” She then smirked. “I remember you and I were really horny for a while. You snuck the tip of your tail underneath my skirt and teased me a lot while we were at Rarity’s.”

Spike blushed red. “I-I did?”

She nodded and giggled. “You were very naughty. The rest of the night is fuzzy but I do remember feeling as if I had the best fuck in ever.”

“Rachel, I hurt you, I-i-”

“Dude, you just got lost in the moment. I don’t remember if I even said the safe word. We’ll just have to be careful...now get your sexy, teddy bear butt up here.” She patted on the bed.

Spike hesitantly complied, he climbed onto the bed and lay down. Rachel snuggled up to him, feeling his arms wrapped around her shoulders as gently as she could. “I’m so sorry, Rachel..I really am.”

“I know, but everything is alright, I promise.” She looked up to him before kissing him.

Spike melted into her kiss, he gently held her in his arms. Enjoying the loving sensation of her kiss.

After a moment, Rachel grunted and he loosened up hold, fearing she might be hurting. They sat on the bed and sighed softly.

“Spike...do you think we’re ready ...to have a baby?”

Spike didn’t reply right away. He was still reeling from the shock the doctor said.

Rachel lays her head on his chest. “I mean, I’ll be taking tests to see if I’m actually pregnant, second opinion and all that. Still..”

“Whatever the case may be...we’ll do this, together,” was what all Spike could say.

“I love you, baby.”

“Love you too…”
