Tiny Wife Rainbow Dash

One advantage to being small for the rest of her life is that Rainbow Dash could nap in a lot of places that most other grown ponies couldn't even imagine fitting. It also doubled as an excellent way to hide if she wanted to pull pranks or listen in on her wives to surprise them with gifts.

She knew it was a bit underhoofed, but she still struggled with the whole romance thing so "unexpected gifts" were her way of making up for where she falls short. It wasn't like she was one to use anything that she overheard for selfish reasons, the occasional little private in-joke not withstanding.

The first place she found herself was within Carousel Beautique, watching Rarity fit a new dress onto Sweetie Belle. Even with a new studio in the castle, the purple maned unicorn still preferred to do most of her business inside said establishment. Honestly the younger sister was more upset about the changes as she found the Beautique rather unsettling at night when staying there alone. She had a room to stay in at the castle, but Sweetie insisted that somepony needed to keep watch at night.

As she watched the sisters work, Rainbow felt a small smile form on muzzle as Rarity began to hum one of the songs Fluttershy wrote, a cute little number about how adorable ducklings were. It was syrupy sweet and relaxing, almost enough to cause the hidden wonderbolt to nod off, only for a rather abrupt interruption.

"When am I going to be an aunt?" Sweetie's question was like a record scratch, and not the cool kind DJs do.

"W-what? Where is this coming from?!" Rarity turned to her sister with wide eyes as she dropped her pins.

"It's just you're married, moved into a big, fancy castle and Applebloom keeps bragging about how awesome of an aunt she's gonna be. It's gonna be a lot worse if her and Diamond Tiara get together. Not to mention you guys going on about how great you are with Flurry Heart whenever you watch her," the younger unicorn shrugged, "just made it sound like you were getting ideas."

Rainbow Dash was sweating, trying to remember which window hadn't been reinforced yet so she could make her getaway before she completely freaked out from the idea of that much responsibility.

For her part, Rarity was already cooling the redness on her face and going back to placing the pins into the fabric her sister wore. "While I would certainly love the chance to experience the joys of motherhood with my wives, we do not plan to have any in the near future." She paused, looking about, probably for Pinkie given the mare's unique abilities, before leaning in a bit. "Though hopefully before Rainbow Dash and Applejack get too worn out to play with them. Just imagine how hurt the two of them would be to have a castle full of foals and not have the energy to play with them! It would be the worst! Possible! Thing!"

With that she dramatically fell back in one of her exaggerated fainting spells, which Rainbow took advantage of to fly out the door before things got even more awkward.

Rainbow Dash next found herself in a lovely tree in the animal sanctuary, next to some very polite koalas, trying her best to not think of having kids or how much she would hate it to not be the one to teach any winged ones how to fly.

Thinking it best to just sleep this off, she shut her eyes, focusing on the relaxing bird songs around her. She had almost drifted off when heard the sounds of two ponies walking just beneath the tree.

"I want a divorce." Those words caused the prismatic maned pegasus to sit up with a jolt, especially since the voice was clearly the very serious tone of Fluttershy.

Why would Fluttershy want a divorce? Was she not getting enough attention? Too much? Was Pinkie too loud? Was she too loud?!

"But why George. Haven't I been a good wife for you?" Applejack's stilted delivery derailed Rainbow's train of thought and she looked down to see the pair holding some papers in their hooves. "I cook, clean, iron ties and keep your cigars well stocked."

"That's just it, Samantha!" The yellow pegasus raised her voice. "You're more maid than wife! You never ask about my day, take a polite interest in my hobbies or join me after dinner! Am I so repulsive that you try to avoid me?"

"Of course not, George. I-" The farmer let out a growl and tossed the script on the ground. "Fluttershy, I love you, but why dija get me to practice with an' not somepony who can stand these frufru roles?"

"Well, Rarity has dress orders to fill, Twilight was busy, Rainbow Dash is worse than you are at these and Pinkie...would have set up props." Fluttershy listed off with a sigh. "I'm sorry, Applejack. I just...really want to do this right. It's my first time being in a play without all of you helping out."

"Oh shoot, sugarcube. You'll be amazing! Maybe ask the one playing this Samantha character to rehearse instead?" Applejack suggested, pulling her wife in and giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

"I tried, but Vinyl tends to still be asleep at this hour if Octavia doesn't need her to be up." As the pair shared a laugh, Rainbow slipped away. That little divorce scare ruined her chances of napping without burning off some more energy.

Not all of Twilight's books reached the back of the shelf, leaving a little space just big enough for the small Rainbow Dash to fit in, so long as the cat wasn't there already.

Luckily that wasn't the case so she could relax as her royal egghead wife quietly enjoyed whatever tome pile it was today.

No uncomfortable questions about a massive decision.

No false divorce declarations to scare her half to death.

Just the slow turning of pages, scribbles of a quill to parchment and the occasional buzzing sound followed by Twilight's adorable giggle.

Whatever it was that she was doing sure sounded like a good time.

Suddenly the bookworm let out a loud gasp, followed by a happy scream that prompted Rainbow to move one of the books she hit behind to see what the big deal was.

Twilight was practically hopping around her chair, a book in front of her glowing and buzzing as she did so. "OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GO-uuuuaaaaaahhhhh!!! Celestia needs to know as soon as possible!"

Before the alicorn could run off, Pinkie popped out from under the table. "Know what? That Sunset's journal is still buzzing?"

"Huh? Oh! Right...Sunset needs to be the one to tell her when she's ready." With that she went back to overlooking the journal, holding the party pony a safe distance in her magic. "Well, it looks like we'll have a baby shower to plan in two months."

Rainbow froze, flashbacking to the conversation she overheard earlier. Who was having a kid?! She knew Sunset was married to her world's version of, well, themselves. It was hard to think about sometimes, especially when she was stressing out like she was now. Counterparts meant that there was a version of them over there and vice versa, so if any of them were pregnant, then that would mean one of them here was too...right?

If so, then which one would it be? Pinkie? Twilight? Herself?! She wasn't ready to be a mom! She hadn't even earned her full retirement benefits from the Wonderbolts yet!
"How'd Sunset get pregnant anyway? They don't have that kind of magic, right?" Pinkie's question, much like anything she said with energy, cut through Rainbow's brain and caused it to come to a hard halt. Sunset was the one with the baby in her?

"Oh, they had a donor. Vinyl Scratch's older brother. She didn't share the full details, just that they felt it was the right time and that it was agreed that she would be the best choice to carry." Twilight explained, not knowing the relief she was giving to a panicking pegasus. "She'll probably explain more when they decide on a date to visit."

"So, when are we going to have some foals?" Pinkie's voice was filled with anticipation, much like a foal herself.

As Rainbow moved one of the books so she could see the room, a nervous voice came from the door. "Twilight? I, uh, accidentally burned my curtains...again."

The princess chuckled a little. "How about after our dragon is old enough to keep his flames in check?"

Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom sat at Sugarcube Corner, a bottle of apple soda for each of them as they talked about their day.

"So I tried scaring Rarity by asking about her having foals and she just gave me this whole speech about planning and other stuff before Rainbow Dash scared us both with one of her pranks." The unicorn groaned. "I was supposed to be the one doing the prank."

"Least ya didn't have ta hear your sis tryin' ta act. Applejack came back from her lunch with Fluttershy an' was quotin' some play between trees." The earth pony huffed, taking a sip of her soda.

"You're just mad that it distracted you from daydreaming about Diamond Tiara." Sweetie Belle said with a smirk which grew as her friend blushed.

"Oh shut it."
