Princess Pregnancy

The next morning, Cadence yawned and stretched out her limbs to ready herself for another day of being pregnant. She hadn't yet gone through the pain of morning sickness (Thank goodness), but there are still many problems she has to deal with, such as, sluggishness from the extra weight, feeling more tired in the morning, and most Importantly, Feeling more hungry every single day. She didn't like eating as much as she was, but with her cravings at an all time high, she couldn't help it. She got out of bed to get ready for the day and looked around the room, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary until she looked back at the bed, something was missing, more likely somepony.

Shining armor wasn't there, he would usually sleep in any chance he got, but strangely today, he was up and gone before Cadence knew it. She decided to ignore it as he probably went to go handle his own business like training the new recruits of the castle guard, she proceeded to take a shower, brush her mane, and brushed her teeth.

"There, all done."

She said with a huff, she felt confident in her self that she was going to make this day worth it and maybe do some walking around the Crystal Empire, but before she could think about what she would do, her stomach growled and the baby started to kick.

"I know honey, mommy's hungry too. let's get something to eat, shall we?"

Cadence asked, the response that she got may have been nonverbal, but it was all the answer she needed to get the picture. She walked down the hallway towards the dining hall and stopped at the double doors that led inside, her stomach giving another loud growl in another demand for food.

"Wow, I must be really hungry if my tummy is THIS loud, I hope there's something good waiting for me to munch on in here."

She thought, as she opened the doors with her magic, she took a few steps into the dining hall and stopped in shock when she saw the ginormous stack of pancakes in the middle of the table. She was so shocked that she didn't see her husband standing right next to her.

"It seems you're liking what you're seeing."

Shining Armor said with a chuckle, Cadence turned to him with a wide smile as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I really do, I think I can eat it all, because mama's hungry."

Cadence said with a smile

"Easy there mama bear, If you're planning on eating that much, then the baby better get ready for a cramped space for a while."

Shining said with a chuckle, Cadence gave a shove as her husband teased her.

"Oh hush you, now let's eat, I feel like if I stand here looking at them for any longer, I'll have left a puddle of drool behind."

Cadence giggled as she walked over to the table and sat down to begin eating, Cadence sat down first and started piling the pancakes onto her plate, starting out with six and munching down on all of them. Shining armor was surprised at how many pancakes Cadence was eating at a time, she usually would only be able to eat three at a time, getting full after four stacks, but now, she was eating six at a time!

"Wow Cadence, I've never seen you gobble down his many pancakes. If I knew this, I would have had the chef's make more."

Shining said surprised

"Well, I jusht feel like I have to. It may be weird for me to be doing thish, but it jusht tashtes sho good."

Cadence said with stuffed cheeks, she just couldn't help herself. If she wasn't pregnant she would have given some critiques about the pancakes, but with her cravings slowly but surely ramping up, the pancakes were perfect in every way to her from the butter to the syrup, she was in heaven.

A few minutes later, the pile of pancakes was gone, eaten up by the pair (mostly by Cadence) as they enjoyed each others company. Cadence sat back in her chair, rubbing her stomach as she had stuffed herself full of pancakes.

"Oh wow, I have never stuffed so much in my mouth in my life, *urp* Oh, excuse me."

Cadence said with a blush as she covered her mouth with a hoof, Shining smiled as he saw how his wife enjoyed herself.

"Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I wanted to make sure that this morning was perfect for you."

He said cheerfully, Cadence returned the smile and got up from her seat, feeling more weighed down than ever.

"Thank you sweetie, now I'm off to handle my royal duties for the day, Rest and relax."

She said with a relieved huff, Cadence was glad that she was on maternity leave from her royal duties as she would never be able to do so with her daughter with her all the time, her legs would be so tired that she would probably collapse into a pregnant pink pile of blubber.

"Don't worry honey, I'll make sure nothing, but nothing keeps you from fulfilling your "duties"."

Shining said with a chuckle, Cadence rolled her eyes and waved a dismissive hoof in his direction.

"Ok Captain Of The Guard, I will be expecting it."

Cadence said with a smile before taking her leave, Shining Armor hated to see her leave but loved to watch her go. He caught a glimpse of her flanks, which were a lot bigger than before, and felt a tingling sensation between his legs. He managed to hide it before Cadence could catch a glimpse and gave a sigh of relief as she disappeared out of sight.

Cadence was sitting on some cushions in her bedroom reading a book when she got that hungry feeling again, she had just eaten a few minutes ago, but it felt like she hadn't eaten anything at all. Her stomach gurgled as her hunger grew and her thoughts started to shift to grabbing something to eat. Cookies, milk, cake, ice cream, and chocolate were all on her mind as she mindlessly got up and walked to the kitchen.

"Wow, I've really been hungry for these past few days, but I can't deny myself a little snack."

Cadence said to herself, pondering on the "little snack" that she wanted, but what she wasn't thinking about, was that her cravings were going into overdrive. She soon made her way to the kitchen and waked inside, eyes locked on the fridge. She opened it with her magic and took a peek inside, she took out a bar of chocolate, an ice cream bucket, two slices of cake, an ice pop, and a two liter bottle of cola, she wasn't going for a small snack like she told herself, she was grabbing an entire buffet! She kicked the fridge door closed and walked back to her room with her entire lot of food in her magical grasp, feeling happy about herself all the while. She soon sat back down and placed all the items she had in front of her, she could feel all the sweet goodness of all the food already, and her stomach rumbled so violently, her entire body got shaken up.

"Ok ok, chill down there, I'm gonna get to it soon!"

Cadence said, patting her belly, she first started with the chocolate bar as chocolate was her favorite. she took of the wrapper and began munching away at it, she didn't realize that she took only three bites and the chocolate was gone, next, was the cake, two vanilla cake slices with vanilla frosting and strawberry filling. She took one in her magic and chomped down on the soft treat and moaned in satisfaction.

"Mmmmmm, so good"

Cadence hummed as her taste buds were treated to a wonderful sensation of sweetness, her stomach grumbled again as the food settled within, she gave it a rub and continued to eat.

A few minutes later, Cadence had just finished the ice pop and was laying on her back, hankering for something to wash it all down, luckily, she had a two liter cola with her. She twisted of the cap and began chugging the entire thing, she didn't care if she was making the bottle's contents disappear in seconds, she just wanted a drink. She finished off the cola and set the bottle down next to her and sighing in satisfaction of her feast.

"Ahhh, much better."

She said in a relaxed tone, she then smelt something that was strange, a smell that was all too familiar. She took a hoof to her mouth, breathed into it and smelt it, her nose recoiled at the smell of her own breath and gave Cadence a hard time focusing.

"Ugh, that smells worse than shiny after a full exercise, better grab a mint."

Cadence said to herself as she grabbed a pack of mints off of her nightstand and popped one in her mouth, she took another whiff and was satisfied with the problem being solved, but another being created. she felt a slight bloating in her gut that made her feel strange, almost lighter, she saw her stomach slightly grow in size and heard a squelch from her belly that was rather small so she put it off as nothing. But little did she know, that was just a warning of the chaos that would ensue next. Her belly made some small bubbling noises which caught the alicorn's attention, then it descended into full rumbles that shook her body all over, her body shook violently, her enlarged belly jiggling as the mints reacted with the cola that she just drank. She tried to suppress the chaos by flipping over on to her belly, but her gut was erupting in a full eruption. Her stomach rumbled like a volcano ready to erupt, her belly shaking more and more with each passing second as it was getting ready to explode into who knows what catastrophe. Suddenly, the rumbling stopped, her belly no longer shaking and jiggling as it returned to it's normal, pregnant looking state. Cadence wiped the sweat from her brow as the titanic eruption was over, but she still felt weird on the inside, then her throat bulged and her cheeks puffed up. She knew exactly what was going to happen and the only words she could speak were...

"Uh Oh."

Before releasing a wild, unrelenting, monstrous belch that would put the roar of an ursa major to shame.

*HUROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUURRRRRP*

The blast of air that came out of the princess' maw shook the entire castle, The guards out in the hallway felt the ground beneath them shake and the walls vibrate. Once the blast had dissipated and the castle was no longer shaking, Cadence quickly put a hoof over her muzzle as she collected her thoughts, she was certain that whatever just came out of her would make the Royal Canterlot Voice used by her aunts sound like a whisper, and she was even more certain that her husband heard it. But even with all of these thoughts running around in her head, with a blush on her face, she said the only two words that seemed right in that exact situation...

"Excuse me."
