Warnings for graphic childbirth

Birth

It was the middle of the summer and Camp was in full swing. Colts and fillies were running around, playing horseshoes, boating, and doing crafts. River was out on the lake, teaching a new counselor the ropes to running the boating dock. Sparks, now 11 months pregnant and fit to burst, was sitting in the craft barn with a herd of foals. She was showing them how to tie knots in string and make friendship bracelets.

After about an hour on the lake, Running River did a round on the camp, checking in with each counselor and their group of campers. Once she was satisfied that everything was in hoof, she walked back to the craft barn to find her fiance. There was an ache between her legs that simply had to be satisfied.

Sparks was bending over, collecting string pieces off the floor, when River walked in. The blue mare felt her breath hitch as she stared at her fiance’s ass, her distended belly hanging low between her legs.

“Fuck…”

Sparks turned to see River staring at her, mouth open and eyes wide. “You okay baby?”

River licked her lips. “With camp going on I haven’t had one second to appreciate how your belly has grown.”

Sparks looked at her bulging midsection. “I know. I feel like an over inflated balloon. Should be any day now though.”

River sauntered over, flicking her tail and nuzzling along Sparks’ jawline. “I think...I need yout tongue on me right the fuck now.”

Sparks inhaled sharply. “What??” She tried to ignore the growing throbbing between her back legs as River continued to nuzzle and lick her.

“Your belly is so round and low...It’s been torture watching you walk around camp when I can’t jump you every night.”

“Fuck...baby…” Sparks felt a slight tightening deep in her belly and sighed heavily as River moved her lips up to her ear.

“The strap on is in our cabin...I want you to mount me.”

Sparks choked. “M-mount you?? Like this?!” She gestured to her bulging belly.

“Oh yes. Just like that.” River purred. And Sparks had to grit her teeth to keep from falling over.

“Fuck…”

River grinned and led them both back to the owner’s cabin, set far back at the edge of the forest. The counselors had everything well handled and would come knocking if they needed anything. Sparks followed, a dazed look in her eyes as the friction of her legs only turned her on more. She winced when she felt another clench in her belly, but just chocked it up to pregnancy hormones making her horny, and followed River into the cabin.

oOo

Seeking Sparks sat up, bleary eyed and confused, looking around the cabin for whatever woke her up. The night was cool as a breeze swirled through the camp. Crickets and cicadas chirped loudly in the hoods and the occasional hoot of an owl pierced through the air. Running River was curled up on her side next to Sparks, sleeping soundly. The pegasus rolled herself out of bed and landed heavily on her hooves. Blinking, she reached back and rubbed a hoof along her low hanging belly.

“Is it just me, or have you gotten bigger since this morning?” She mumbled aloud. The foal didn’t answer her.

The pregnant mare walked slowly out of the cabin and down to the dock. She often couldn’t sleep now, her belly making it hard to get comfortable, and sometimes she went down to the dock for some peaceful stargazing. As she walked down the wooden dock, she felt a sudden tightening in her stomach. Sparks slammed to a halt, the clenching spreading throughout her abdomen. With a grunt, she played her front legs and panted lightly as the pain peaked and then faded. So that was what had woken her up. She was in labor.

“Fuck.” Sparks groaned, sliding a hoof over her belly. This was not good. She turned back towards the camp and made her way carefully back to the cabin. She didn’t make it far before another contraction tightened her muscles.

Sparks dug her hooves into the dirt and groaned. “R-River…” Her voice trailed off weakly as she fought through the growing pain. “River!”

When the contraction ebbed, she shakily stepped forwarded and trotted heavily up to the cabin, sweat already starting to bead off her coat. She pushed her way inside and shook River awake.

“Wha-What time is it?” The earth pony rubbed her eyes blearily then sat straight up when she was the scared and desperate eyes of her fiance. “Sparks? What’s wrong?”

Sparks winced and braced her front hooves out as her belly clenched again. “I’m-I’m in labor.”

River’s eyes went wide and she gaped, frozen in place. Sparks moaned and trembled, her legs shaking as she pressed her hooves into the floor as hard as she could.

“River...please. He’s coming...fast” Sparks panted around the words as the contraction faded and she slumped against the bed. She breathed deeply, trying to catch her breath before the next pain.

River felt her heart start to race and her throat constrict. She was not good in emergencies. Sparks had always been the one who took charge, the one who kept a level head under pressure. But now here she was, scared and in pain in the middle of the night, and looking to River for help. River grit her teeth and forced herself to swallow. This was not the time to panic.

“O-okay.” She felt her voice shake and took a steadying breath. Sparks needed her to be composed right now. “Okay. Let’s get you to Twilight like she said.”

Sparks nodded and got shakily to her hooves. “We need to hurry. He’s-” She clenched her eyes closed and stomped a hoof into the ground. “He’s impatient.” She whined out as the contraction burned through her.

Once she could walk, River supported her as best she could and they walked out of the cabin. River ran to the nearest counselor tent and let them know what was going on, putting her most experienced mare in charge. They would have to handle things on their own for a while.

oOo

In between contractions, Sparks and River trotted through town and towards the crystal castle. Every few minutes they had to stop while Sparks moaned and hung her head, fighting to keep quiet through the pain. River would rub her back and count her through the breaths of the contraction.

Camp Friendship was on the edge of town and it was a long trek to the crystal castle. Twilight had told them that labor would start lightly and take hours, so it should have been easy to get Sparks to the castle and then to the hospital. But clearly, their foal had other plans.

“River…” Sparks grunted against a particularly hard contraction. “I need...to push…”

Running River’s eyes bugged out of her head as she stared at her trembling fiance. Sparks had her forelegs planted, her rump in the air as she moaned and strained against the contraction. Sweat was pouring off of her even in the cool summer night.

“Okay okay let’s just get you to the castle and Twilight can help!” River trembled nervously, scanning the quiet town to see if anypony else was awake.

“I’m- I’m not gonna make it to the castle.” Sparks sighed as the contraction eased off, giving her a moment’s rest to catch her breath. There was a slight release of pressure then Sparks felt liquid soaking her tail and hind legs.

“M-My water…” Sparks gasped.

River clenched her eyes shut and counted to five. This was really happening. She was going to have to deliver their foal. In the middle of night. On the street.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuuuuuucckk!” Sparks gritted her teeth and swished her tail out of the way as a deep pressure burned inside her. Her forelegs trembled as the foal’s head pressed against her cervix.

River moved behind her and gulped heavily as she placed her hooves on Sparks’ flanks. “Okay baby just push when you feel the urge.”

Sparks hung her head and pushed against the pain in her belly. She snorted and groaned loudly, her eyes screwed shut as she held her breath and strained. Her belly clenched around the foal and pushed him down between her legs.

“R-river he-he’s coming…” Sparks collapsed down onto her side, feeling her legs straighten out as she pushed. “F-f-f-gaaaaahhhhh!” Sparks wailed.

River kneeled down and lifted Spark’s hind legs slightly. “I can see the head!”

Her vagina burned as Sparks gritted her teeth again and pushed hard, feeling the pain streak through her. “Fuck! Get him OUT!!!”

River continued to stroke her fiance’s flanks as Sparks grunted and screamed, trying desperately to pass the foal’s head. The foal was stuck at the widest point, and Sparks seemed unable to get him the rest of the way out. With a choked cry, Sparks struggled back to her hooves and stood on shaking legs, her backside spread wide and strained.

“I. Want. Him. Out.” Sparks hissed through gritted teeth. She dug her hooves into the dirt and waited for the next contraction. When the pain started to build, she took every ounce of muscle that she had and clenched her abdominal muscles.

“AAAHHHHHH!!!!” She threw her head back and screamed as the foal’s head started to slip out of her, stretching her tissues and sending pain arching through her body.

River, trembling with emotions she couldn’t name, cradled the foal’s emerging head in her hooves. “You’ve almost got the head out!”

Sparks huffed, panting and pawing at the ground with her hoof. “I’m too impatient for this.” She grumbled, resting before the next pain.

River snorted in spite of herself. “Is that really your biggest concern right now?”

The pregnant mare didn’t get the chance to answer. She felt a deep and consuming desire to push as the worst contract yet clawed at her insides. Sparks gasped and thrust her rump higher in the air and pushed with all her might against the foal. Her throat burned with the scream that echoed forth as her belly clamped down. There was a soft pop and Sparks collapsed onto her forelegs.

“The head is out!” River wiped some of the fluid from the foal’s mouth as Sparks panted and whined.

“O-one more…” She gasped.

“”You can do this babygirl. You are doing absolutely amazing.” River rubbed soothing circles on her fiance’s flanks.

Sparks pushed herself up onto her trembling hooves and clenched her eyes shut. She could do this. The contraction started low, tightening the muscles in her distended belly. The pressure in her vagina burned and Sparks spread her back legs wider and hung her head low, her scream reverberating off the buildings.

“ffffffffnnnnnnggaaAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!” Sparks stamped her hoof on the ground and bore down. “FUCKING HELL JUST GET HIM OUT!!!!”

Instead of tapering off, the contraction just built and built. Spots swam on her eyelids as Sparks grunted and pushed all of her strength back into her vagina.

“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” A tortured scream erupted from her throat as she felt the foal sliding through her vagina, the stretching making her eyes water. Then there was a sudden release of pressure and Sparks collapsed forward, still moaning.

“She’s here!” River cradled the little foal, tears pricking at her eyes. “Oh Sparks she’s here…”

Seeking Sparks felt twitches of pain in her belly and grunted, pushing one last time. The placenta plopped on the ground behind her and she was finally able to sit up and breathe. River was sitting next to her, a squirming and crying pink bundle cradled in her forelegs. Sparks felt her tears spill over as she reached for the foal.

River carefully set the little unicorn in her grasp then kissed her forehead. “Baby you were amazing.”

“Oh my Celestia…” Sparks sighed and cradled the wailing baby close to her chest.

“It’s a filly.” River whispered, her eyes transfixed on the little one.

“A daughter.” Sparks leaned against her fiance, exhaustion settling over her. “We have a daughter.”

River brushed a strand of sweaty mane out of Sparks’ eyes. “Yes we do.”

Sparks cradled the filly, a beautiful light coral colored unicorn with orange and hot pink in her tousled mane. As she was rocked, she slowly stopped crying and blinked open her deep pink eyes.

“I really like Melody.” Sparks murmured, nuzzling against the baby.

The little filly giggled and her horn sparked to life, a beautiful golden aura enveloping her horn.

“Melody Gold.” River offered with a smile.

Sparks slid to a half lying position on the ground, tucking their daughter in her forelegs. “I think Melody Gold is perfect. Though I am remiss to think I was wrong about it being a colt.”

River smirked at her and rose to her hooves, gently helping Sparks lie down. “Seems I was right all along. Now stay here for a moment, I’m going to run and get Twilight.”

River gave them each a kiss then ran towards the crystal castle. As she disappeared, Melody started to cry again and Sparks took her warmly in her embrace.

“It’s alright little one. Mommy will be back soon.”

oOo

Twilight, Starlight, and River came running back down the path, a medical kit held securely in Twilight’s magic. When they neared Sparks, they all skidded to a stop, mouths hanging open. Sparks was hanging upside down in the air, a wailing pink filly tucked securely in her forelegs. They were both suspended in a cloud of shimmering black magic, and the filly’s horn was glowing with the same color.

Sparks looked at them with exasperation. “I’m too tired for this shit. Get me down.”

Being suspended in her foal’s unpredictable magic had become normal to her by now, and she just wanted her hooves squarely on the ground again. And maybe a trip to the hospital to soothe her aching vagina. River clamped a hoof over her mouth to stop her scream of surprise as Twilight flew up and inspected the pair.

“Interesting. I suppose the Fledgeling’s Forebearance spell was cast partially on your uterus, so once she was born she was removed from its effects.” Twilight hovered around them, hardly affected by the screaming filly.

“Yes. Fascinating.” Sparks said sarcastically. “Just get me down.”

Twilight blushed. “Right. Sorry.” She carefully took them both into her own magic and brought them to the ground. Once they were safely seated, she pressed her horn to the filly’s forehead and cast the magic controlling spell.

The filly squirmed and giggled, her magic becoming a bright gold before fizzling out as Twilight’s spell took hold. Starlight cocked her head and looked at the filly quizzically.

“Did you see her magic change color?”

“Her name is Melody.” Sparks said wearily as River stepped forward and picked up their daughter.

“And her magic was gold when I left. Why would it change color?” River cradled the baby as Starlight inspected her horn.

“I have no idea, but I would suspect it has something to do with the extra magic that was infused into her via the pregnancy spell. Perhaps the colors are tied to her emotions. Magic is all about concentration and feeling afterall…” Starlight studied the filly while Twilight checked over Sparks.

“No obvious injuries or tearing. Still, let’s get you both to the hospital for a proper examination. Just to make sure everything is okay.” Twilight zapped away the afterbirth then gathered them all in a group. There was a flash of magenta light, then they were standing at the entrance to Ponyville General.

Starlight turned to the couple. “Sparks, you said your parents live in Cloudsdale right?”

“Yeah.” She wobbled slightly, exhausted from the night’s events.

“I’ll send Rainbow Dash to get them. And River, your-”

“Don’t.” River cut her off and shook her head. “Don’t bother.”

Starlight raised an eyebrow but didn’t press. “Alright. I”ll meet you all back here later.” With a flash of teal light, she was gone.

Twilight helped Sparks walk inside while River carried Melody. The sun was just beginning to rise and the little filly cooed and snuggled into her mother’s grasp. River chuckled and held her a little tighter.

“You certainly are going to be something unlike Equestria has ever seen before aren’t you?”

Melody just yawned and sucked her hoof in response. River followed Sparks and Twilight into the hospital, where they were certainly the strangest party the doctors had ever seen:

The princess of friendship, a flightless pegasus who had just given birth on the street, her lesbian fiance, and the first ever magically-conceived foal in all of Equestria.
