Auntie Rarity

Sweetie Belle’s POV

I hate going to school now. It’s the first day and I’m a senior now. I keep worrying about when everyone else is going to find out I’m pregnant! I have no idea how they won’t because I’m four months along now, and I look like a cow! I tried talking to Shadow and he didn’t even talk to me. I hate when he’s like this!

“Sweetie Belle!” Rarity called. “Time for school!” I sighed and put my makeup on, then started to feel sick. I ran to the bathroom as fast as I could and just threw up. I let out a deep sigh and couldn’t tell if it was morning sickness, or just my nerves. After a minute or two of thought I stood up and rinsed my mouth out. I walked towards the door and Rarity stopped me.

“Eat first.” She demanded. “I know I let you get away with skipping breakfast, but my little niece in there needs to eat now.” She said baby talking my stomach. “Can I make you anything?”

“I’ll be late.” I warned. I could hear myself being cranky, and so could she. She didn’t stop smiling, because she didn’t want to upset me.

“Take this.” She said handing me a heavy bag. “Do you need me to carry it? I don’t want you to strain yourself.” She said worriedly. She’s so cautious now!

“I’ve got it, thanks Rarity! See you when I get home!” I said opening the door and walking out.

“Right after school!” She called after me. I walked straight to school and met up with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. They greeted me with smiles. Apple Bloom took the bag for me.

“Sweetie I really hope you don’t get mad, but I told Scootaloo.” She said with a frown.

“I’m not mad, I was going to tell you anyways, plus it’s better that way because I don’t want anyone to hear.” I sighed. Scootaloo frowned. She was trying to think of something to encourage me.

“Hey Sweetie Belle, it’s fine. Plus you’re not even showing yet. If I didn’t know I could never tell.” She assured. “Although, I’m glad Shadow is going to community college. I might pay him a visit.” She said with an angry face.

“Please, he won’t even talk to me! It’s driving me crazy!” I almost started crying. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other, and then back at me. They were really angry with Shadow, I could tell.

“Sweetie don’t cry, Scootaloo and I are probably just gonna beat him half to death and then he’ll talk to you I’m sure.” She said. I shook my head and everything felt worse than it was, and it was still very bad.

“I want what’s best for my daughter.” I sighed. The bell rang and we all quickly went inside. Diamond Tiara was walking down the hallway with her boyfriend in a new dress. She always had to be so ‘glamorous.’

“Oh, poor Sweetie Belle. Single, lonely, pathetic Sweetie Belle.” She giggled. She looked back and then up and down at me. “Add fat to that list.” She giggled walking away. Scootaloo started to flutter her wings and I could tell she was about to attack her or something so I tried to stop her. I thought Apple Bloom would help, but she wanted her to attack her. Scootaloo calmed down when the second bell rang. We all went to our first boring classes and I had to leave in the middle of the first one. I felt so disgusting and sick.

“Sweetie Belle?” I heard a voice ask. I walked out of a stall and Miss Cheerilee was standing there. She started teaching at the high school last year and she was my teacher for second period.

“Um...Hi Miss Cheerilee.” I smiled.

“Why are you so sick?” She asked with a frown. “Do you have a fever?”

“No I just um...I’m fine.” I lied as my stomach growled. I looked in the mirror, and I looked so fat.

“Well Sweetie are you sure you’re alright?” She asked. I started to tear up and my heart started to hurt. I shook my head and she looked worried. “What’s wrong?” She asked.

“Well everyone’s going to find out I’m sure.” I said trying to catch my breath. “I’m pregnant.” I admitted. Her face was shocked.

“Are...are you sure?” She asked. I nodded sadly.

“I’m positive. I’m four months pregnant.” I sighed drying my eyes. “It’s just hard right now...” I told her. I would never be comfortable telling anypony, but she’s known me so long.

“Well I hope that you start feeling better Sweetie. Hope you’re better for second period.” She smiled trying to support me.

“Thank you...” I sighed. After that awkward moment the next bell rang and I went to get my bags. I saw Diamond Tiara again. She came in the room with a nasty smirk.

“My goodness Sweetie.” She said. We were both alone this time. “You’re looking really round today.” She giggled.

“Go away Diamond Tiara.” I muttered. She looked at me when I stood up, bags in hoof.

“I heard you and Shadow broke up.” My heart hurt from his name.

“So?” I asked quickly. “What does that have to do with me being fat?” I asked.

“Well eating your feelings won’t help you get anypony.” She smirked. I wanted to bust.

“I’m PREGNANT! You immature, self obsessed, rich brat!” I couldn’t believe I just said all that stuff to her.

“Oh, a hump and dump? You would be one of those girls. I bet you sleep with every colt.” She laughed. That wasn’t true! I’ve only had sex once, ever! “Poor stupid Sweetie can’t say no.” She laughed.

“I could say no to your ugly boyfriend. I’m sure he goes after anypony.”

“You’re one to talk! Between you, AND Shadow, that’ll be the ugliest foal to ever walk Equestria.” She giggled.

“My daughter is none of your buisness!” I screamed.

“I can’t stop staring at her. She’s certainly big, isn’t she?” I couldn’t take another minute. I left school. Completely, and I didn’t go to Rarity’s house. I went straight to Shadow String’s college. I didn’t care if i’d get in trouble for skipping, or not coming home on time. I HAD to talk to him. I wouldn’t be ignored anymore.

Apple Bloom

Scootaloo and I waited outside for Sweetie at lunch and she wasn’t anywhere to be found.

“Where do you think she is Apple Bloom?” Scootaloo asked. I looked around for her and sighed.

“I think she’s at Rarity’s for lunch or somethin’.” I guessed. After lunch we finished our classes and waited for Sweetie Belle outside of school. She wasn’t anywhere around us! We went to Rarity’s house and she opened the door with a smile, then it faded. I think she was expecting her sister.

“Where’s Sweetie Belle?” She asked sadly. We were both quiet and scared.

“She...She ain’t here?” I asked. Rarity’s eyes got wide.

“Well then where could she be?!” Rarity started looking around. “Oh no...” She said hitting her head with her hoof. “Do you know where Shadow is?” I asked. We both nodded. “Take me there. NOW!” She demanded running as fast as she could and pushing us in front of her.

Sweetie Belle’s POV

I was standing outside of Shadow String’s dorm room. I couldn’t get the nerve to knock, but I had no choice. I knocked on the door and waited. There was no answer so I knocked again fast.

“One sec!” He said cheerfully from behind the door. It was amazing just to hear his voice. I treasured the sound and smiled. He opened the door with a smile and he looked sick to his stomach.

“..H-Hi.” I said shyly.

“Come in.” He pulled me in the room. “What the hell Sweetie Belle?!” He asked shaking. “I mean if someone sees you walking around with that huge stomach-”

“The one that’s carrying your foal?!” I asked angrily. “Are you afraid I’ll ruin YOUR reputation?!” I asked as he pushed me away from him violently. I’m not used to him acting this way towards me.

“Sweetie Belle I can’t deal with this! I can’t be with you! You’re too young!”

“You sure didn’t care when you used me!” I could hear myself cry, but my whole body was numb.

“Sweetie Belle I don’t want a foal, I don’t want a relationship, I don’t want to be a freakin dad and I don’t want YOU!” He yelled in my face. I got so angry, but it all went away and I sobbed.

“She’s a girl. OUR little girl. Too bad you’re never allowed to see her!” I screamed. He hit me in the face angrily. I opened the door and my sister was standing there. I didn’t know how she found me, but she was standing right there. No expression, but she moved me a bit to the side, stepped in the room and slammed the door shut.

“YOU!” She I heard her loudly, even through the door.

Rarity’s POV

I overheard this, this, WRETCHED colt talk to my sister so horribly.

“She’s carrying your baby! The baby you put in her through pressure and mind games!” I yelled. “I’ll love my niece, but I’ll never love her father!” I yelled.

“The feeling is VERY mutual!” He yelled. I punched him right in the face and then backed away quickly. I couldn’t believe I had done that! I was just...so angry! He’s pathetic! He’s a deadbeat! How in Equestria is he related to Fluttershy of all ponies?

“Don’t you EVER speak to Sweetie like that again! No, don’t speak to her AT ALL! Ever again!” I said as he held his face in pain. I wanted to hurt him worse, but I didn’t know I could do something like that. I walked out of the room and saw the destruction on my sister’s face. I also saw her lip bleeding and my heart jumped. “That monster HIT you?!” I asked so close to going back in to punch him again. She grabbed onto me and looked up at me with those gorgeous green eyes.

“Rarity I’m alright.” She begged through her tears. I grabbed her and took her away quickly.

“Don’t worry darling, I’ll make sure you never ever see him again.” I promised.

“Rarity...I think I need a nap.” She frowned. “I couldn’t sleep last night, or the night before. I’ve been too upset.” She cried.

“Darling you’re pregnant with a tiny filly. You HAVE to take it easy. You have to eat more, you have to sleep more, you have to not stress, you just need to relax and please for once in your life, please stay out of trouble.” I begged. She nodded lightly and I kissed her cheek. How could I have ever let her be with that horrible young stallion?! I took Sweetie Belle home and made her go straight to bed.

“I heard Diamond talking really bad about Sweetie.” Apple Bloom frowned.

“Well those things are bound to happen, but I don’t know if Sweetie Belle is in the mental or physical health for school yet.” I frowned.

“Well I mean maybe she shouldn’t...come back.” She suggested. I needed a plan. This is all so difficult!

“I’ve got to call our parents. They NEED to know.” I sighed. “I should have told them the moment it happened, but I’m afraid father will try to kill Shadow. Actually, I’m not that afraid. In fact, I welcome the very thought.” I smiled at the thought of that pony finished at the hooves of my own father.

“Rarity?” My father answered. “How are you pumpkin pie?” He asked. I was quiet for a bit and sighed.

“I’m fine father, but I’m calling about Sweetie Belle.” I explained. I heard my mother in the background.

“What does she need?”

“Well it’s not exactly what she needs it’s more of-” They rudely interrupted me.

“So is she hurt? Is she failing school? Is it boy troubles?” They asked taking turns on the phone.

“Mother, father please listen to me!”

“We’re listening, we’re listening.” My father sighed.

“She’s...well....she’s pregnant.” I admitted. My father cleared his throat.

“Rarity that’s not funny.” He said a bit angry.

“Father I’m not kidding...she’s four months pregnant with a little filly and I had to tell you because the father will NOT be involved. He’s horrible to her and I saw him hurt her!” Even though I only heard it, I saw the poor filly’s face. He was quiet. Quiet with probably just as much rage as I had in myself.

“Rarity is she ok?” He asked first and worriedly.

“Yes father she’s asleep. She’s going to be fine I assure you.” I promised.

“Rarity please watch over your sister.” I could hear the upset in his voice. “I’ll tell your mother.” He frowned. I heard him tell her and she screamed from the shock.

“Rarity we’ll be right over!” She told me.

“Mother, please, no! She’s very shaken from this! Very very shaken. I think she just needs sleep and love right now.” I frowned, hearing my sister crying from the other room. She was probably horrified of what my parents were saying on the other line. I know she was eavesdropping through the door.

“Rarity we have to see her! She’s our daughter, she needs us!” My mother defended.

“Well I understand, but just...not now. Please. She needs some time. A few days and you can come and see her, alright?” I asked. They were skeptical, I could hear it.

“Alright Rarity, well we love you both. Be careful over there!” My mother begged.

“We will be. Goodbye mother, goodbye father.” I hung up with a sigh and saw my sister’s head poke out of her room.

“What happened to sleeping?” I asked.

“I tried, but I keep waking up. I’m having nightmares about...nevermind.” She slumped down onto the couch. “I wish I could sleep.” She groaned.

“Well what are your nightmares of darling?” I asked sitting beside her. She looked at me with a sad face.

“I keep dreaming about my foal hating me, because I didn’t stay with her dad.” She said not looking up from her stomach.

“Sweetie Belle, what would you do if Shadow harmed your foal?” I asked.

“I’d blackout and then when I could remember again he’d be dead.” She said at the thought.

“So don’t you think your daughter would prefer no father, rather than her father being dead, and her face bruised?” I asked referring to Sweetie’s face. She pondered it and then laid her head down beside me.

“I think I’m ready for bed now.” She smiled.

“Goodnight darling.” I smiled back kissing her cheek.

“Goodnight sis.” She closed her eyes and I started to walk to my room. “And thanks.” I heard her say quietly.
