Changeling Hive 6:00pm

It is a wonderful morning in the Changeling Hive, many ponies and changelings were doing what they always do in their daily lives like: working in shops, assisting each other, playing, enjoying their lives as a family and many more. They have all recently heard of the news about Queen Twilight Sparkle's pregnancy, and that got them really exhilarated. Either a Prince or a Princess will be born.

In Thorax and Twilight's bedroom on the fourth floor, Queen Twilight Sparkle was seen on her and her husband's bed while reading an biology based book that he has been reading since their second date, and Twilight is now four months pregnant. Thorax has been very interested in biology ever since he was introduced to it when he was a young drone, and Twilight was very impressed by his experience and knowledge of the science.

"Wow, this biology book sure is interesting and fun to read." Twilight said with her eyes widened in interest "My Thory sure does know how to keep me entertained." She finished with a smile.

After reading for another minute, Twilight has decided to pause her reading here for the time being because, today is the day where she and her husband will go shopping for equipments for their child. So, she placed the book on a bookshelf in her room and got off of her and her husband's bed.

But suddenly, she immediately felt an intense pain in her belly that has caused her to groan. She has been finding harder to get off her bed ever since last month.

"Ugh... my stomach." Twilight groaned with her eyes closed. After taking a couple of deep breaths, she has recovered and stood back up. Just in time until the doors to her and her husband's bedroom pulled open. Twilight looked in front of her and saw her husband Thorax in front of her.

"Hello Twinkle's!" Thorax greeted with a smile.

"Hello Thory." Twilight said with a smile, hoping that he didn't noticed her pain earlier. "Anyways, should we head out now?" She asked getting on topic.

"We shall but again, are you sure you want to come?" Thorax asked with a concerned expression.

"Of course I do Thory." Twilight replied with a nod "After all, you said that I always need to stay by your side." She told him.

Thorax really wanted to object about the choice that Twilight is taking. He has planned to get some changeling or pony doctors and nurses to assist him on checking on her condition while he is out shopping for equipments for their baby but, it is true when she says that he needs to stay by his side at all cost. And her being without him would make her very disconsolate and stressed. He wouldn't want to see something like that happen to his beloved.

"Okay Twily, you can come with me."

"Hooray." Twilight said in a not too excited tone because, she can't always be in a hyper mood during her pregnancy otherwise, her condition will become worse.

Then, Twilight walked up to her husband and planted a light kiss on his lips, and Thorax kissed back. After a second, the couple released and walked out of their bedroom. After that, they turned to their right and started to walk to the fourth floor hallway doors. Once they got to it, Thorax pushed the left door open with his magic and stepped aside for his wife to pass through. Twilight then walked through and past him, then Thorax exited after her, closing the door behind him in the process. Finally, they began to go downstairs, and Thorax had to help his wife for her and hid child's own safety.

Once they were down from the fourth floor, Thorax and Twilight started to walk through town, and they were immediately met with wonderful gestures from the ponies and changelings as well as the young hybrid drones of the Changeling Hive.

Thorax and Twilight returned the gesture by waving back and giving them warm expressions and smile. Twilight also decided to reveal her pregnancy to her subject, and they were immediately stunned by how big her belly is growing along with their children. This is a sign that their children is about to come out soon, and they were extremely exhilarated.

After going through town for eight minutes, King Thorax and Queen Twilight Sparkle have both arrived at the front doors of the Changeling Hive on the ground floor. Thorax pulled the doors open with his magic and once again made a path for her to go through.

Twilight once again smiled in delight and walked through the doors. Once she has exited, Thorax walked out after her closing the doors behind him in the process. After that, they both walked to the front gates of their Kingdom. Once they got to it, Thorax once again pushed the gates open for Twilight and she went through it finely. Thorax exited after her closing the gates in the process.

"Do you want to teleport to the mall Thorax?" Twilight asked. "And do not worry, I still have some strengths on me." She told him.

"Okay I guess." Thorax said with a shrug, he didn't bother to keep objecting right now.

"Wonderful." Twilight said with a smile.

Then, Thorax and Twilight both charged their horns and teleported to the mall section of Ponyville.

Ponyville markets 7:00pm

Thorax and Twilight have both teleported at the entrance of the Ponyville markets. And in front of them was an area filled with food stands selling fruits, vegetables, bread, snack, sweets and many more. And behind the stands were store buildings.

"Wow, it sure is crowded here." Twilight commented with a nonplussed expression.

"Indeed it is Twily, many of our subjects must need something as usual if they want to support and feed their family." Thorax told her, and his wife agreed with a nod "Anyways, should we head to the furniture store?" He asked.

"Sure, we might be able to get lots of baby equipments there." Twilight said.

"Alright, furniture shop here we come." Thorax said as he and his wife began to make his way to the furniture store.

After going through the crowd of ponies and changelings as well as getting waves from them for a minute, Thorax and Twilight have both arrived at the large furniture store, and they both noticed that it is quite large, it is two stories tall.

Thorax looked in the store and saw that it was quite crowded, and this could put his wife in great danger. So, he has decided to tell her to wait for him outside for a moment.

"Twilight, the store is a bit crowded and I'm worried that you might get stuck or injured while walking through there so, I'm gonna need you to wait for me outside please." Thorax told her.

"Okay Thorax." Twilight said with a nod "Just don't take too long okay?" She asked as she nuzzled her husband.

"I won't, I promise." Thorax said while nuzzling his wife back affectionately. After a brief second, they both released and Thorax entered the furniture store.

Once he was in, he saw that there were many furnitures like couches, tables, chairs, studying chairs, boxes, clothe hangers, clothes airer, fans and many more. But, he needed to focus on the main task of buying baby equipments for his child.

"Okay so, where's the baby section?"

Thorax then looked up at the signs which read what products were in these sections but, those products are not the time yet. However, just as he turned his head to his left, he saw a sign on section 1 that read 'baby equipments and toys'.

"Oh wonderful." Thorax said with a delighted smile "Time to purchase some equipments." He told himself.

In the food stands area of the market, a stallion pegasus known as Flash Sentry was seen shopping for some snacks and bread for himself to go through the day as well as for dinner, and the ponies and changelings around him began to leave as well, what made him very bewildered was why the ponies and changelings are starting to find love and friendship with each other, they have had a conflict before in the past during the Canterlot wedding. He has bought chocolate bars, chips and breadsticks.

"This should be enough for me for today." Flash told himself. "Time for me to go back home." He said.

Flash then wore his bag and was about to head to the front entrance of the market. But before that, he spotted somepony familiar standing near the entrance of the furniture store. Flash looked closely at the mare and noticed that it was Twilight, and something seems off about her.

"What is Twilight doing here?" Flash asked with a perplexed expression. But, he pushed the confusion out of his head and decided to pay her a visit "Ah nevermind, this might be a good chance for me to take her back." He said to himself with a grin. Then, he started to make his way to Twilight.

Back at the entrance of the furniture store, Twilight Sparkle was seen looking down on her large belly with a warm smile towards her and her husband's upcoming baby. Many ponies and changelings were seen leaving the store as well.

"I wonder what you will be like in the future my baby." Twilight cooed. But then, she heard somepony calling her.

"Hey Twilight!"

Twilight's eyes widened when she heard the familiar voice.

"Is that?"

Twilight looked behind her and saw her ex special somepony Flash Sentry walking towards her.

"Flash? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked with a raise of her eyebrow.

Flash and Twilight were once special someponies before in the past, but, tragic strikes when Flash disputed against Twilight for not doing his things during their dates as well as always being bored during his guard shift that he wanted to show her. This resulted in him breaking up with her which left her in a very disconsolate mood.

"Taking you back." He replied simply. After that, he stretched his right hoof and attempted to grab Twilight's hoof. But, she immediately swatted it away and looked at her ex with a stern expression.

"Go away Flash, I'm already taken." Twilight told him, and that made Flash's eyes go wide.

"Wait... your pregnant?!" Flash exclaimed with a shocked expression.

"Yes." Twilight replied simply. She then spread her wings and revealed her round belly to him "In addition to that, I know have a very brave, smart and disciplined husband with me right now who has been helping and cheering me up through my distressing situations. Thorax is by far better than you ever were." She told him.

Flash Sentry was extremely shocked from the news Twilight has stated. She is now married to Thorax and is now having a baby with him? Then, his shocked expression now turned into an angry.

"Well then, I will not let that happen!" Flash exclaimed.

He then reached out for her chest with his hooves and began to squeeze her belly trying to kill her baby.

"Ah! Stop it! Stop it!" Twilight yelled in pain while trying to get Flash off of her but to no avail.

"I will not allow you to have a baby with that stupid bug!"

Back in the furniture store, Thorax was seen paying for the equipments he has picked in the baby section of the store, and he is now the last customer. He has bought lots of products starting from: a baby bottle, baby diapers, a blue coloured pacifier, baby milk power, a baby crib, an inflatable playhouse, comic and science based books for infants and toys. He paid for all of the products at the checkout area and he was all done!

"Thank you for buying our products King Thorax." The stallion behind the counter said with a smile "I wish you and your wife luck in raising your child." He told him.

"Thank you sir." Thorax said with a smile. After that, he lifted all of the products up and was preparing to leave the shop. Just as he turned to the entrance, he heard a loud scream.

"Ahhhhh!"

Thorax then realized that the scream belonged to Twilight.

"Oh no, Twilight!" Thorax yelled as he ran to the entrance.

Flash was seen trying desperately to squeeze Twilight's belly in order to try and kill him or her, but he found it extremely difficult with her struggling, and that made him even more angrier.

"Quite movin' around you stupid mare!" Flash said as he pushed her to the wall. And that resulted in her hitting her back against the wall roughly, her visions then became very blurry and she fell on the ground unconscious due to her weak state from her pregnancy. "Ha! Serves you right!" He exclaimed in a vile tone.

But, his victorious moment was put to an end when Flash saw Thorax in front of him with a traumatized and scandalized expression towards his wife. Flash also saw him with lots of boxes behind him, they were probably for his child.

"Twilight!" Thorax exclaimed in horror as he bent down and checked on her. He moved her body but, she didn't wake up.

"This should teach you a lesson on what happens when you mess with me."

Thorax was currently extremely enraged from what Flash has done to his wife. His skin colour has slowly turned into a dark colour due to his magic and instincts triggering his anger. Once his entire body turned into a dark colour, his eyes glowed in a blood red colour.

The transformation has caught Flash completely off guards nd by surprise. He didn't know that Thorax could do something like that.

Then, Thorax slowly stood up and looked back at Flash Sentry with a detrimental expression, and that made him feel very terrified because, he feels like something apprehensive is about to happen. And it is too late to take everything back.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!!!" Thorax exclaimed furiously. He then spread his wings and tackled Flash Sentry to the ground.

Flash was sent sliding on the ground while Thorax and dragging him while in the air, it also made some bits of dirt fly everywhere as well. The two then eventually crashed into the food stand area destroying them in the process as well as startling the ponies and changelings working there.

Thorax then delivered some hard punches to Flash's face. And each punches he landed, he let out some pained grunts. After punching for thirty seconds, Thorax got off Flash and lifted Flash up in the air with his magic. He then noticed that he currently has a blood filled face, tears were also seen steaming down his face. The scene has made Thorax smirk in satisfaction.

Twilight was just starting to regain his consciousness after being shoved to the wall by Flash.

"Ugghhh.... my head." Twilight moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. At first her visions were blurry but, when they worked again, Twilight noticed total destruction in the market.

"Oh my Celestia, what happened here?" Twilight asked with a shocked expression.

She then got her answer when she heard some growling noises near her. She looked to her right and saw Thorax in his transformed state holding Flash by the neck, and he had a bloody face.

"Wait please! I'm sorry! Please don't kill me." Flash yelled in fear. He begged for clemency but unfortunately, Thorax didn't even bother to listen to him.

"I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET HURTING MY TWILY!!!" Thorax screamed in a detrimental tone. He then charged his horn and prepared to blast Flash's head off, but before he could even charge his horn, he heard a familiar voice calling him from behind.

"Thorax stop!"

When Thorax heard the voice, he turned his head around and saw Twilight standing in front of him in an okay state.

"T-Twilight?" Thorax asked as he started to calm down. Five seconds later, Thorax has returned to his normal self and dropped Flash Sentry on the ground. That immediately made him get up and run away from town while whimpering in fear.

The ponies and changelings as well as some young were all starring at the Changeling and Friendship King with a petrified and shocked expression at what he had just turned into as well as what he had done to Flash earlier. Does he have some power that they do not know about?

"Thory." Twilight called walking up to him "Lets get out of here before our subjects ask you any questions." She whispered to him.

Thorax nodded slowly and he and his wife began to quickly leave the market.

"Okay everypony nothing to see here, just proceed with your lives." A guard told them.

Back in the Changeling Hive, Thorax and Twilight have both made it back to their Kingdom and in their bedroom on the fourth floor of the Hive. Thorax healed his wife's injury with his healing spell and Twilight immediately kissed her husband on the lips in attempt to help him relax.

"Are you okay honey?" Twilight asked softly with a worried expression. But, her husband only nodded sadly in response. Then, she embraced him in a consoling hug.

"Look, I know you hate it when that happens but, we have to put this aside and proceed with our lives." Twilight told him "Do you think that you can do that for me please?" She asked with an adorable expression.

"Okay."

"Thank you." Twilight said planting a light kiss on her husband's right cheek "Lets setup our babies stuffs in his bedroom." She told him.

"There is an empty room that will be perfect." Thorax told her.

The couple then got off of their bedroom couch and walked out of their bedroom. Then, Thorax began to lead Twilight to an empty room which will be their child's room. Once they got to it, Thorax pushed the door opened and he and his wife both entered at the same time.

Twilight scrutinized the room for a moment and was astonished by how large it six there is a large window in front of her as well as two doors, one on the left and one on the far right, there is also a storage room. Then, Throax started to organize it.

"This here will be our child's bedroom. The door to his left is his bathroom, and the door at the far right will be his playroom." Thorax said. After that, he and his wife began to setup the room.

They first started with the crib. They unboxed the crib and placed it by the far left side of the room near the window so that the baby can have a wonderful view during his sleep. After that, Twilight placed the ten boxes of diapers in one of the storage room area shelves. Then, they both started to set up the playroom.

Once they entered it through the door, they began to unbox all of the toys and other fun stuffs for their child. They first started with the toy pony, animals and stuffed dolls. They placed all of the toys in a box and placed them on the far right side of the room next to a window. Then, Thorax inflated the inflatable playhouse with a pump in order for their child to get some exercise. Finally, they placed the comic and science based books written for infants in a bookshelf so that their child would have some fun time reading.

Ten minutes later, the couple have officially finished setting up their child's bedroom.

"I can't wait for our child to come." Twilight said softly while nuzzling her husband.

"Me too Twinkle's, me too." Thorax said nuzzling back.
