I'm what?!


Author notes: The reason why I suddenly make the story jump forward in time is to skip a lot of predictable stuff and to continue the more interresting stuff.


One month after Discord's arrival in Ponyville.

"Twilight, I'm serious. You really should lose some weight." Rarity said with a disapproving tone.

"I know! I haven't eaten any treats and I'm also more out, but it doesn't work!" Twilight said, clearly frustrated.

"She's not lying. I even helped her." Spike said.

"That's strange. Maybe you should go to the doctor. It's a bit unladylike to gain weight that fast."

"You're right. Maybe I should."

"And none of your dresses will fit if you don't lose some weight!" Rarity added.

"I know, I know. Now what did you want to show me?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about that! Stay here I'll get it." Rarity got up and walked out of the room, returning with a really dark purple rock.

"A rock?" Twilight rised an eyebrow.

"This ones different from most of the rocks. You see, I haven't seen anything like this before and when I picked it up I felt something strange coming from it. I hoped maybe you'd know what it is."

"I'll see what I can do. One things for sure, this rock does emanate a weird aura. Come Spike, maybe there's a book with info about it."

"Okay!" Spike jumped onto Twilight's back.

'Who is mommy talking to? And why did he jump on mommy's back? It's so boring in here... I want to do something!' Anarchy suddenly kicked out of frustration, making Twilight gasp in surprise.

"Are you okay Twilight?" Spike asked.

"Y-yes, I'm fine." Twilight said confused. She shook it of thinking nothing of that little poke she felt and continued walking.

"Okay?" Spike said, raising an eyebrow.

"Let's drop this of at the library and then we'll visit the doctor."


Discord was floating around lazily when he saw Twilight. He would have just ignored if it wasn't for the rock she was carrying.

'What could that be? It looks familiar somehow.' He flew towards Twilight and touched the rock. Suddenly a shock went through him and he clutched his head when his started bonking. He looked at the rock and saw it started glowing. Twilight looked at it in confusion.

'What in the name of Celestia's beard!? A chaos ore! Those things are even rarer than alicorns or draconequuses! I don't know how she got it but this could go very wrong!' He followed her to the library and wited untill she left, which was almost right after she dropped the rock of.

'How in the world did she get this?! It's not even clear what it does! The only thing I know about it is that it strengthens chaos... Oh no.' His eyes went wide in realization. 'If it strengthens chaos it probably will speed up Anarchy's growth! I need to warn Twilight and... Wait, why do I care? Ugh! I'm gaining in sanity! But there's no time for grieving over my lost insanity.'

He quickly went after Twilight and saw her walk into the hospital.


Twilight was waiting untill the doctor had found out what was wrong. The doctor was a big colt as big as Big Mac and had a black coat. He had no mane or tail. His eyes were red and so was his horn. His cutie mark was a red plus with smaller green plus marks around it. He was new in Ponyville but he was already known for his perfect diagnosis and talent to heal practicly any illness or wound.

"And? Do you know why I'm gaining weight despite my efforts to lose weight?"

"Yes I do. But I don't know if you're going to like it."

"What do you mean? Is it some kind of illness?!" Twilight said with panick in her voice.

"Well, most ponies call it a blessing." The doctor said. He seemed to be holding back something.

"Blessing?" Twilight raised her eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Well, you're pregnant."

...

...

...

...

"I'M WHAT?!" Twilight yelled. She seemed more shocked then angry.

"Um, I said-"

"I heard you! But how!? I haven't done it! I'm also too young!"

"Miss Sparkle, please-" The doctor tryed to stop Twilight's panic but was cut off by her rambling.

"I'm not ready to be mother yet! I-"

"MISS SPARKLE! Calm down! Please let me finish!"

"But-"

"No buts. The most concerning thing about your pregnancy is that your foal is growing too fast. If it keeps growing like this it'll be born in one month. Asside from that he and you are both healthy."

"One month?! How is that possible?!"

"Well, your foal is giving of a strange aura. I'm afraid he was affected by some kind of magic. He could also be created by magic."

"Magic? What kind of magic can do that?" Twilight had calmed down a bit but she was still nervous and jumpy.

"I don't know. If you don't want me to tell anypony about your foal, I understand. But it's smarter to tell them sooner out of own will than to be forced to explain it."

"Okay." She got up to leave but stopped before just before opening the door. "Hey Doctor?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

"No problem. And you can call me Black if you want to. All my friends call me that and I think you could use all the support you can get." He said while smiling friendly.


'So she found out. I have to wait for her to fall asleep and then I'll be able to explain a few things to her.' He took a look at the sun and saw that it was almost night.

'I better head to the library.'


"Good night Spike." Twilight said from out of her bed.

"Good night Twilight." Spike said from his basket.

'This has been a weird day. Maybe I'll be able to make more sense of it tomorrow.' She closed her eyes and fell asleep almost immediatly. What she didn't expect was to end up in a dream filled with chaos.

"What's going on?" She said. Behind her she heard somepony laugh. 'That voice...' She turned around and her lower jaw hit the floor. "... Discord?"

"That's me. Good old Discord."

"What are you doing in my mind? I'm pregnant so I need some time alone!" She felt her anger build up.

"I know. But that's why I'm here." He said, sounding rather serious.

"It's none of your bussiness."

"And that's where you're wrong my dear." She noticed something about him. He looked less chaotic. He even sounded more sane.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that your little foal is also my son."

"Wha?!" She yelled.

"You see, when the elements of harmony sealed me away, a part of my powers stayed behind. Apparently it created a foal inside you. A rather intelligent little guy I must say."

"So because your chaos made me pregnant, you are my foals his father?"

"Yep. I thought I already said that. Did you know Anarchy already has the intelligence of a ten year old?" Discord sounded proud.

"Anarchy?"

"You know, your foal. I named him Anarchy because it fits him. He already knows how to think, talk and plan. In other words he's already breaking the laws of physics. That's why I called him that. And I don't think he's going to listen to you if you call him anything else."

"Okay, so it fits him. But why are you telling me this?"

"When I lost a part of my powers I also lost a great deal of insanity. Don't worry, Anarchy is completely sane. Now I'm more sane I also regained some feellings I haven't felt in a long, long time." She knew he wasn't lying. The chaos around her wasn't as chaotic as he usually made it. In fact, everything seemed to be ordered more. Discord also looked... old.

"Okay. Do you know by chance  anything about the rock Rarity gave me?"

"In fact I do. It's called chaos ore. The only thing I know about it is that it strengthens chaos. I suggest you tell Celestia about it and you should also tell her about your pregnancy."

"No! I'm not telling anypony about it yet!"

"That's the worst decision you could make. What would your friends think if they found you were pregnant? You would be forced to tell them and ot would ruin your friendship for a big part. You should also tell Celestia about me. She'll probably understand your situation and will help you." He sounded tired.

"Are you okay Discord?"

"No, not really. I don't have a lot of power so this is draining me. I need to go now, or I'll go unconcious and I'll be stuck inside your mind forever." Everything around suddenly started fading away.

"Was this a dream?"

"Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. See you soon, Twilight Sparkle."

She opened her eyes and she saw she was in her room again. When she looked at her clock she saw it was only two am.

'Should I really follow his advice? Black told me I should tell my friends too.' She got up and walked over to her letter storage. She got herself a letter and a quill and started writing.

Dear princess Celestia...
