Daylight shined through the trees of the Everfree forest as three ponies made their way through the brush.
Applejack lead the way, with Rarity and Rainbow Dash right behind her.
Usually the three friends would be making small talk with each other, but this time the three were in total silence.
They were nervous for what they were about to do, but they had made a pack to stick together and they weren’t going to back out.
It had all started on a recent camping trip with the cutie mark crusaders.
The three fillies had tired themselves out and had gone to bed, leaving their big sisters to chat around the campfire.
The topic had soon led to them talking about their younger sisters, and each coming to the realization that each of them had not had the best upbringing.
Apple Bloom had lost her parents when she was still a foal, only having stories and pictures to remember them.
Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo’s parents traveled so much that they barely saw their daughters.
Rarity and Rainbow Dash had quickly realized they had spent more time with their sisters then they had with their parents in the past year.
They knew their sisters deserved better. They were smart and talented, and had helped so many ponies already despite their age.
The idea had started as a joke at first, Applejack saying, “Too bad we can’t be their Moms huh?”
The three of them had a laugh at the thought.
But after exchanging some glances between each other, the realized none of them were joking anymore.
Surely there was a way right?
A spell or potion that could allow them to be the Moms that their sisters had never had?
They knew it sounded a bit crazy, but they were each old enough and responsible enough to each take care of a foal, so why not?
A talk with Zecora and a gathering of what she needed and a few days later they found themselves at the door of the Zebra’s hut.
Zecora wasted no time in getting the potion ready, each big sister handing the zebra a lock of their younger sister’s hair.
“This path to Motherhood, are you sure? This path is tricky to endure.”
The girl’s nodded and Zecora dropped the cmc’s hair into her caldron, the white mixture turning purple as she stirred the ingredients in.
She then went over to her guests and went over what was going to happen one more time.
“Before bed, have them drink the brew. The magic will know what to do. Your sisters will shrink as they sleep, inside you will feel some heat. Your bellies they will begin to grow, with your unborn sister this I know. Before long your sisters will be gone, as your daughters they’ll now belong. They will not change after they are born, from their destiny they will not be torn.”
The three big sisters were happy to hear this when they first discussed this with Zecora.
They still wanted their sisters to be essentially the same, they just wanted them to have a parent by their side to help them grow up this time around.
Zecora poured the potion into three bottles and gave them to each of them before bidding them farewell.
The three ponies then made their way back to Ponyville and wished each other the best of luck with their tasks.
That night each of them prepared dinner and dessert for their respective little sister, making sure to put the potion into their food.
Rarity had mixed it into the topping of Sweetie Belle’s ice cream, Applejack had mixed it into Apple Bloom’s Apple Dumplings, and Rainbow Dash had put it into Scootaloo’s milkshake.
Each of the CMC’s ate their dessert with happy splendor, not suspecting a thing about what was in them.
It wasn’t long after that each of them began to feel very tired, more so then they usually would feel.
Their big sisters had lead them to bed and tucked them in for the night before making their way to their own bedrooms, laying down on their beds and waiting in nervous but excited anticipation for what was about to happen.
If any of them had been watching their younger sisters, they would have noticed them start to glow, their bodies slowly getting younger.
Soon their cutie marks vanished, and then they began to shrink, inch by inch until they were toddlers.
Their manes and tails began to recede into their bodies, becoming shorter and shorter until they were just tufts on their heads and butts.
Their teeth returned inside their gums as they became infants and a moment later, with a puff of smoke, they each vanished.
At that moment, Applejack began to feel a warm feeling coming from her crotch, a feeling she recognized as being similar to being in heat.
The heat grew more intense as she began to moan, shooting her hoof down to stroke her needy pussy.
She soon found something beginning to press into her foreleg and moved it to find her belly starting to push outward, now looking about four months along.
The heat in her nethers had moved into a soothing warmth that seemed to grow in time with her belly, the orange farmpony rubbing her hoof against her belly as she continued to grow.
The feeling was a strange one to say the least as her belly pushed outward, the farmpony barely able to see her back hooves anymore as she reached her eighth month of pregnancy.
Her bed was creaking from the added weight she now possessed as she still continued to grow bigger.
She still couldn’t quite wrap her head around the fact that inside her was a foal, and not just any foal, but her former sister.
Soon, she could feel the warmth inside her begin to die down and her belly seeming to settle as she reached her eleventh and final month of her pregnancy.
Zecora had explained that this was the quickest and easiest way to make the transition most seamless.
One month inside her would allow Apple Bloom’s DNA to change ever slightly to become her daughter and build the motherly bond that the girls had each insisted on, Apple Bloom hearing her Mommies heartbeat and voice inside the womb would allow her to instinctively recognize her as her mother.
Applejack shuffled herself off her bed and made her way over to her full length mirror to inspect herself.
She found getting off her bed was now much harder thanks to her added weight, but still managed ok as she walked over and gazed at herself in the mirror.
She noticed her belly wasn’t the only thing that got bigger.
Her butt had grown noticeably thicker as well.
She could also feel the weight of her breasts between her legs. Her boobs were now engorged with milk for her daughter to drink once she was born.
She could feel them rubbing against her thicker thighs.
As Applejack continued to stare at herself, she couldn’t help but feel in awe.
It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen other pregnant mares before.
Heck she even remembered when her own Mother was pregnant with Apple Bloom.
But seeing herself like this was so surreal.
A strange sense of pride and happiness seemed to fill her to the core with how happy she was to be a Mommy.
As she continued to gaze lovingly at her belly, she heard a knock on her door.
“Everything ok AJ? Is the foal ok?” Asked Big Mac as he walked in.
Zecora had told them that reality would shift to nopony remembering the crusaders existing before, but AJ was still a little nervous when Big Mac first knocked.
“Uh-yeah Big Mac! Everythings fine. Just needed to stretch the old legs a little.” Said AJ with a nervous grin.
“Ok then.” Said Big Mac as he walked to his Sister’s side and rubbed her belly with his hoof. “You’re gonna be such a great Mother AJ. Ma and Pa would be so proud of you.”
“Aw, thanks Big Mac. Sleep tight ok?” Said AJ as Big Mac made his way to the door and smiled warmly before closing it.
Applejack made her way back to her bed and laid down. She needed to get some sleep. After all, she was going to be having a daughter soon and needed to keep her strength up!
She got herself settled and looked down at her tummy one last time.
“Good night Apple Bloom.” She said as she drifted off to sleep.
Inside Carousel Boutique, Rarity was laying in bed, sketching some ideas for some fashionable maternity wear for her and her friends.
They may only need it for a month or so, but it didn’t mean they couldn’t be the cutest Moms in all of Ponyville!
She was just about to finish her design for a shirt for Rainbow Dash when she felt an odd feeling in her stomach.
Moving her sketchpad away, she noticed her flat stomach was starting to stick out, the familiar warmth Zecora had mentioned was now starting to radiate through her as she watched her tummy inflate like a balloon.
She looked on with excitement and dread at what her body was going through.
She knew what a pregnancy did to a mare’s body, and she hopped she’d be able to get her body back to relatively the same shape before her pregnancy after she had given birth.
Still though, she was excited to experience this special feeling of being a Mom, and hopped it would inspire her to make a whole maternity line of cloths so that everypony in Equestria could look their best even while expecting.
As her belly reached the halfway point she felt absolutely giddy! She was so happy everything was going so well! She rubbed a hoof over her tummy, feeling its perfect curve that kept right on growing.
She wanted to get a better look.
She got out of bed and made her way out to her boutique’s sales floor and to her one hundred eighty degree mirror.
She could already see how her belly was expanding outward in all directions.
She turned around to look at herself from the back and could see her plot and boobs had also swelled to larger proportions.
Rarity could hardly believe the assets were hers as she wiggled her backside and watched them both jiggle.
Maybe being pregnant wasn’t all bad after all.
By this point Rarity could feel her changes beginning to slow as she reached her eleventh month of pregnancy, and as she felt her body begin to settle into its new shape, she couldn’t help but feel happy about her glowing form.
She felt prettier then she had felt in quite a while, happy with how she wore her pregnant form, even making a few posses in the mirror.
She would definitely want to take some pictures later.
As she went to return to her room, she noticed something that caught her eye.
A section of her boutique had now changed.
Where Rarity had once had her section for off season items now sat racks of maternity cloths.
Shirts, bottoms, dresses, bathing suits, coats, everything.
Above the display was a picture of herself, wearing the most beautiful maternity dress she’d ever seen, with the words “Maternity Magnifique” in a fancy font below it.
Reality had changed and Rarity had apparently already designed her maternity line for every month of her pregnancy.
She looked each item over and was beyond impressed! She couldn’t wait to get up tomorrow and hopefully sell some to another expecting Mother!
She hurriedly made her way back to bed as fast as her weighed down body could carry her and snuggled beneath her sheets.
She couldn’t wait to experience all her pregnancy had to offer.
Rainbow Dash was in her room inside her cloud home, pacing the floor anxiously.
Out of all her friends she had been the most nervous and apprehensive about going through with their plan, but her loyalty to Rarity and AJ would not allow her to back out.
She just kept checking her belly every few seconds, hoping the changes would start already.
She began to think about Scootaloo and how she had first admitted that she wanted Rainbow to be her big sister on their camping trip all those years ago.
She could see the fear in the filly’s eyes of her possibly rejecting her after her foalish actions that night.
Rainbow had been a little surprised by her confession but was more than happy to take on the role.
She knew Scootaloo needed her, and she wasn’t going to let her down.
She knew what she was doing now was what Scootaloo needed too.
She was the best little filly in the world, and now she was going to have a Mom as awesome as she was.
As Rainbow came to this realization she could feel the warmness starting to permeate throughout her lower body, her stomach beginning to go from a flat plain to a rolling hill.
Rainbow was happy the process had finally begun to take effect.
Now maybe she could relax a bit.
She went over to her bed and laid down, picking up a Daring Do book to read while she waited for her belly to stop growing.
Despite repeated attempts though, she could barely get through a line without looking back at her mid section.
She just couldn’t hide her anticipation.
She was excited to see Scootaloo growing!
She watched as her belly gained inch after inch, her body slowly progressing month after month before her very eyes.
“Come on squirt! Keeping going! Mommy Dashie is right here to cheer you on!” She said, giving her belly some gentle rubs of support.
She thought of all the things she’d be able to do with Scootaloo now that she was going to be her foal.
She’d have the most awesomest nursery, the coolest onesies, and the best baby toys ever!
She had plenty saved from her Wonderbolt salary.
Scootaloo was more than worth it.
Soon her belly’s growth began to slow as it settled right on Rainbow’s eleventh month of pregnancy.
She had to take a picture of herself! Her first picture of her being the most awesomest Mom in Equestria!
She quickly got out of bed a grabbed her camera from her drawer, setting it on her dresser and setting the timer before stepping back and striking a pose.
She faced the camera and stood on her hind legs, albeit with some difficulty thanks to her extra weight, and placed her forehooves on her hips.
She gave a big smile as the camera flashed and took the picture.
She rushed over and grabbed the Polaroid as it spit out of the camera.
Rainbow smiled at how awesome she looked, looking like a super mom.
She went and took a few more, all in a variety of posses.
She found that her new pregnant body was a lot harder to move about. Sometimes she’d move too quickly and had to brace herself so she wouldn’t fall over.
She could also feel her belly, boobs, and plot shake a bit with every step she took, something the slender mare had never experienced before in her life of being skinny.
She knew she’d be back that way in no time, wanting to get back to Wonderbolt training as soon as Scootaloo was born.
With that thought, Rainbow heard a knock at her door.
“Yo Crash! What’re you doing in there?”
Rainbow turned to see Spitfire standing at the door to her bedroom.
“Crash I know you’re excited about being a Mom, but you can’t stay up all night admiring yourself. You gotta get some sleep girl.” Said Spitfire as she walked over and put a foreleg around Rainbow’s shoulders and lead her back to her bed.
“R-right. Sorry Captain.” Said Rainbow, unsure why Spitfire was there.
Spitfire chuckled. “I told ya, ya don’t need to call me that while I’m living here with you. Just call me Spitfire. Once the foal is born and you’ve gotten a handle on things though I gotta move back to my place and you are gonna have to start training again with us. Don’t think I’m gonna go easy on ya just cause you’re carrying my Lunar Foal.” Said Spitfire as she tucked her in.
It all made sense now.
Rainbow had known from the moment she meet Spitfire that if she ever had a foal she wanted Spitfire to be its Lunar Mother.
It was tradition in Equestria to appoint a Celestial Father and Lunar Mother to a foal once it was born in case anything happened to its parents and to help the parents raise them in accordance with Equestrian values.
If she was right, Soarin’ was probably her foal’s Celestial Father.
“You need anything before I head to bed?” Asked Spitfire.
“No thanks Spitfire. And thanks, for everything.” Said Rainbow.
Spitfire smiled at her and left, closing the door and turning off the light.
Rainbow laid in bed, not sure if she’d even be able to sleep.
She was too excited for all that was coming!
But she did as she was told and got comfortable as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
The next day Applejack and Rainbow Dash made their way to Carousel Boutique to meet up with Rarity and see how everything had gone.
Both had a hard time leaving the house.
Applejack had Big Mac and Granny Smith hounding her every few minutes to see if she was ok and had insisted on making her all her favorite things for breakfast.
Not that she was complaining though. She had quite an appetite eating for two now and was surprised she had been able to pack so much away.
Rainbow had found her once strict and tough Wonderbolt captain to be quite caring and sensitive to her needs as well, serving her breakfast in bed and repeatedly checking in on her before she had to leave for Wonderbolt Headquarters that day.
The two had made teasing remarks about their now larger sizes, both getting a laugh the other’s attempts.
“Nice orange there AJ, that monster is bound to win first prize this year!’ Said Rainbow.
“Oh yeah? Well I didn’t know they let hippos into the Wonderbolts!” Replied AJ.
Soon though they made it to Rarity’s and walked inside finding her just finishing up the last maternity shirt she had made for the three of them.
“Hello darlings! My, you both look absolutely stunning!” Remarked Rarity about her friend’s pregnant glow.
“Heh heh, you’re looking pretty good yourself there Rarity.” Replied Applejack and she sat down.
“How’re you feeling?” Asked Rainbow as she took a seat beside Applejack.
“Oh Rainbow dear I’m wonderful! I never knew being pregnant was so invigorating! I can’t wait to hold little Sweetie Belle in my arms.” Said Rarity.
Both her friends agreed.
“Oh, come this way! I started designing some onesies for our little angels. I can’t wait for you to see them!” Said Rarity and she waddled toward her back room, her friends waddling not too far behind her with their widened gait.
They knew there would be challenges ahead, but with their friends by their side, they would be the best Moms ever to their new daughters.
