Author's Note

Text me if I have been doing to much Starbolt...oops. I can’t do any other characters if I don’t have inspiration. I have been the writing of smut for the two of them, but it might not be very good. Tell me your opinions.

The lake

Prism Bolt and Starburst were having their very first child. So far the pregnancy had been pretty... miserable. The baby kept kicking, giving Star discomfort and making her moody. It didn’t help that she was put under bed rest and wasn’t able to go outside and exercise. Prism being outside everyday, training young flyers with Whirlwind didn’t help. Getting to go out and fly made her extremely jealous. Prism did everything in his power to make her feel better but he only succeeded every once in a while. And today he had succeeded.

Star was on her bed miserable as usual. She continued to stare out the window a depressed frown adorned on her face. A jangle of keys broke her out of trance. Footsteps pattered around the house and then came up the stairs.

“Babe? Can I come in?”

“Yeah.” Star mumbled. Prism opened the door and his green eyes dimmed as he saw his upset wife.

“Babe are you ok?” Prism walked over to the bed and sat on the edge.

“Yep. Fine.”

“Star...”

“No Prism I’m not ok. My ankles are swollen, I can’t get up, I have to stay here when you get go out and train and FLY. I’m stuck here sitting on a stupid bed staring out a window. It’s not fair Prism, it’s not fun!” She cried the last part and grabbed the pillow, her pregnancy hormones getting the best of her.

“Star...” Prism wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead. She cried into his chest for a bit until Prism pulled her away slightly. He whipped the tears from her cheeks and kissed her lightly.

“I’m so sorry. I wish I could take your place. You know, be a seahorse.”

Starburst looked at him weirdly.

“Cause you know... seahorse males carry the baby.”

She looked at him irritably and raised her eyebrow.

“And I’d be far away in the sea.” Prism smiled as Starburst giggled a bit.

“I’m sorry Priz...” She sighed into his chest as he hugged her.

“Don’t worry babe just two more months until we have a foal. And then it will all be better.”

“And I can’t even fly! I just lie here.”

“Get into your swim suit.”

“What? Prism why? I told you I can’t exercise.”

“Yeah, but what about floating?”

“Floating?” Star turned to Prism but he was already getting up and pulling her onto his back.

“Come on!” Prism exclaimed when Starburst hesitated.

“What about my bathing suit?”

“Whatever! I’ve seen you in your bra and underwear...and less.” He winked at her and she rolled her eyes but nonetheless got onto his back.

They made their way through the palace and laughed, stumbling a bit.

“PRISM! WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING!” Star yelled as Prism almost crashed into another wall.

“ITS HARD! You keep leaning to one side while your laughing! And... well your legs are near my crotch.”

“PRISM! Come on! Worse things have touched there!”

POMF

Star glowered at Prism.

“MOVING HERE!”

Finally after curses and wall crashes they entered the gardens. A small lake lay under a willow tree and small steps descended into the lake. He slowly walked down the steps and lowered Star into the water. She sat on the last step and took off her shirt. Prism threw his shirt to the side and extracted his wings.

“Come on. Let’s float!”

Prism pushed himself into the water and held out his arms. Star extracted her wings and glided in after him. She laughed and splashed in the water.

“Oh my Celestia I’m doing it! I’m outside exercising!”

“Now don’t go swimming laps Star, that might affect the baby and be on a watch for twigs and anything dangerous.” Prism warned and drifted to the edge.

Star floated in the water, exploring the entire lake. She turned to Prism and let out a light laugh. His head was rested on the edge of the lake and slipping into the water. Faint snores drifted from his mouth and his hair was sticking up.

“And I thought I was supposed to be the easily tired one.” She giggled and swam over to him. He opened his eye and smiled.

“Hey babe.” He pulled her in his side with his wing and kissed her neck. Starburst blushed and yawned. Leaning against her husband’s side she shut her eyes and napped.

For the first time in months, she was comfortable.
