Auntie Rarity

Sweetie Belle’s POV

I have to go back to school today: The second day and the school year is half over. I’ve been out for months and I am looking more pregnant than ever. I tried calling Shadow to tell him how I was, but I really don’t think he care anymore. It really upsets me that he won’t ever get to see him foal. I love this foal so much and I want what’s best for her.

“Sweetie Belle darling, promise to come straight home this time, alright?” Rarity asked.

“I promise Rarity. I think Shadow is really out of my life for good now, so there’ no point of even trying to see him.” I explained my thoughts.

“It’s for the best darling.” She assured nuzzling me. I knew she was right, but my stomach hurt when I thought of him. I feel like it hurt because my baby’s heart was broken. When I felt her move it felt like tiny wings, but Twilight insisted she was a unicorn, so after school I was going to figure out what was happening. My alarm beeped again, which meant it was time to leave.

“Bye Rarity!” I smiled hugging her goodbye. I walked to Scootaloo and looked around. I didn’t see Apple Bloom around her. I haven’t been able to see either of them in over a week. Everypony has been really careful of the three of us lately because of Shadow.

“Hey Scoots, where’s Apple Bloom?” I asked. She huffed and scrunched her eye brows.

“We got into a fight last week because I was just so angry and I took the whole thing out on her, but I really didn’t mean to and when I went to apologize she didn’t listen for a second.” Scootaloo said sounding hurt.

“Well I’m sure we can all talk through it. We’re best friends! We may not be crusading for our cutie marks anymore, but we sure as heck are still friends!” I said cheerfully.

“What’s with the happy?” She asked surprised I was so excited to be back at a place where everyone was so mean to me.

“If I’m happy my baby’s happy.” I smiled big, like when I did when I was a filly. “Plus my mood swings are awful, give me five minutes I’ll be sobbing on the floor.” I sighed. We walked together to our first class and everything seemed great besides my friends, my teacher, and all the other students couldn’t take their eyes off my stomach.

“What’s wrong Sweetie Belle?” Scootaloo asked leaning over and whispering.

“I just don’t get why everyone’s staring! They know I’m pregnant.” She sighed.

“Hey Sweetie, looking for a good time?” I heard Snails ask from the back of the class.

“I sure am, but I wouldn’t have one with you.” I snapped back. I had to defend myself, because if I didn’t everypony would walk all over me! My teacher cleared his throat getting our attention and gave me a dirty look. I know he thinks I’m easy, but I have to calm down or I’ll get sick.

“You’re all dismissed now.” He told us as we got out of class. I was excited to finally see Mis Cheerilee again since the last awkward conversation we had when I told her I was pregnant. Scootaloo and I walked into the room and I sat in between them.

“Hi Sweetie Belle!” She smiled hugging me tightly.

“Hey!” I giggled. “I missed you, I missed both of you guys.” I smiled.

“And we missed both of you.” Scootaloo said trying to join the conversation.

“How would you know? We haven’t talked none.” Apple Bloom frowned. My stomach jumped a bit and I felt my baby move. They both noticed and looked at me as I held my stomach.

“Sorry it just hurts.” I frowned holding my stomach in pain.

“Can I feel her move? Please?” Apple Bloom asked with hopeful eyes. I smiled and nodded taking my hoof off my own stomach. It was weird feeling the touch of another pony on my stomach while I was pregnant. When my parents first came over and saw my stomach, they didn’t want to go near it. They were just worried about me. Rarity touches my stomach all the time, but for some reason when it’s anypony besides her, it’s weird.

“She’s gonna be so pretty!” Scootaloo gushed. Apple Bloom’s smile faded at the sound of her voice.

“Guys come on, please don’t fight. I don’t want to have one of you in the hallway and one of you in the room when she’s born. I want you both to be with me.” I sighed. They both looked at each other with sad eyes. “We’ve all known each other so long and there’s no reason to fight!” I reminded them.

“Well it’s ok that you pulled my mane. I’m sorry I punched your face.” Apple Bloom frowned.

“I don’t forgive you.” We both looked at her serious face and then it turned into a grin. “It doesn’t feel so good does it?” She asked holding her arms out to hug Apple Bloom. We group hugged and I felt my baby kick. Miss Cheerilee came in to start class and got startled when she turned around and saw me.

“Sweetie.” She said, my name brought a smile to her face. “It’s good to have you back.” She said turning back to the board.

Shadow String’s POV

I took out my phone and noticed Sweetie had called me twice today. It’s killing me not to talk to her, but I just can’t! I can’t limit myself to a filly and a stupid mistake the rest of my life. I have had three or five new fillyfriends since we broke up, and they’ve not lasted long, but they were great while they did last. I was off to visit Fluttershy. I had to wear a stupid disguise to get to her house, because a lot of the ponies had it out for me.

“Hi Fluttershy.” I smiled coming in the house. She flipped up her nose.

“Hello.” She really doesn’t know how to be rude. I could tell she was trying though.

“Fluttershy, I know you’re still mad about Sweetie Belle, but come on. She doesn’t need me! I wouldn’t help her anyway!” I tried to explain.

“You need to grow up!” She snapped with her light voice. She gasped and put her hoof over her mouth, then stepped back with her head down. “I- I mean you need to realize. Realize that when you grow up and have a family, you’ll have two families. One you love, and one you don’t even know. Plus somepony else will be raising your foal with Sweetie Belle. She’ll call him ‘daddy’ instead of you.” I had never heard such a sweet way of someone going off. She’s so quiet even when she was angry!

“Let her! He’ll probably be some loser.” I told her feeling my body heat rise. I don’t care what happened between Sweetie Belle and I, the idea of her with another stallion makes me sick. I don’t really want our foal, at all, but I don’t want someone else to be her father. I’d rather the foal just disappear.

“Shadow just calm down and think for a-”

“No! I don’t want to think! I want this all to be over!” I threw down my backpack and flew out of the house. Fluttershy tried to chase me, but she was way too slow. I flew to Rarity’s boutique and knocked on the door, my rage showing obviously through the knock. Rarity was smiling until she saw it was me. She flung the door open and I could feel her breath on my face she was so close.

“What are you doing here?! Haven’t you done enough?!” She asked trying to contain herself.

“I’m here to talk to your sister.” I explained as she crowded me by herself.

“You will NOT!” She stomped her hoof. “I mean it! You won’t see her! She cries every day because of you leaving her! She’s going to be raising a foal alone and-” I turned away from her. I didn’t want to listen to that stupid b*** talk. “Don’t ignore me! I-” I turned around and punched her in the face.

“Payback is fun isn’t it?!” I asked her. I felt like something was taking control of me. It was crazy! I started kicking her and she yelled out in pain. I didn’t stop and then I felt three hooves on me at once, and two police ponies were arresting me. I realized how serious what I just did was and started squirming trying to beg them to let me go.

“Rarity I’m sorry! Help!” I begged as she smiled and waved at them dragging me away. “Please!” I begged.

Sweetie Belle’s POV

My stomach was breaking my back by the end of the day. I’m not used to walking around so much with this baby inside me. She’s getting too big for me to carry. It was time to go to Twilight’s so she could see what was going on with my baby. I knocked on the door and Twilight opened it, with a greeting smile.

“Hello Sweetie Belle! Hello little fillies.” She smiled. “Rarity’s already here, she wanted to be here but I have to warn you. She’s been into a scruff today.” I got really confused. I walked with Twilight and saw my sister with a bruised eye that was mostly covered in makeup. My breath was gone.

“Are you alright?!” I asked quickly walking to her.

“I’m fine, I’m perfect actually. Despite the fashion faux pas, but things will happen. Sacrifices will be made.” She said smiling and making me lie down.

“Sacrifices?” I asked.

“Sweetie Belle, I got a visit from Shadow today. He was arrested.” She said as if she was ripping off a band-aid fast.

“Rarity..I’m so sorry.” I frowned trying not to cry. She covered my mouth. She didn’t want me to apologize. She frowned when she saw my legs.

“They look swollen from walking around so much.” She said gently rubbing my arm.

“I’m fine Rarity.” I promised wondering who had hurt her like that, and if she had fought back. I could see my baby’s hoof kick my stomach and I giggled. “She’s going to be adventurous.”

“Just like her mother.” Rarity sighed bracing herself for the years of mischief ahead.

“Let me just see if it’s a unicorn or a pegasus. I know the doctors can only tell you if it’s a filly or colt.” She said magically searching my womb. She gasped and then started jumping up and down. “Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!” She said jumping around.

“What is it?” I asked smiling.

“They’re twins! Little IDENTICAL twins, only one’s a pegasus and one’s a unicorn!” She said jumping up and down while Rarity and I sat there astonished and my heart racing.

“Twins?” Rarity asked. She looked like she was either going to faint, have a heart attack, or both.

“Little fillies!” Twilight smiled hugging me. “Oh Sweetie no wonder you’re getting so big! Though since you’re so young and you’re pretty short for your age, I’d stay off your legs. I know you just went back to school, but maybe you should just get your work sent home for now. Twins always come early, so you’ll be back before you know it!” She smiled patting my mane.

“T-twins?” Rarity asked. Her horrified expression turned to a grin and then she started hopping up and down. “Twice the baby things to sew! I’ve got to create!” She smiled dashing off to work on baby blankets and clothes. I sighed and smiled with my hoof on my stomach. They’re going to be so beautiful.
