Chapter 9
There was no sound, no light, no pain or any other sensation to be felt. The only thing telling Rainbow she was even awake or much more existent was a very faint squeezing of her hoof.
"What is going on? Are the sleep drugs wearing off?" She thought as she squeezed back ever so lightly at the hoof.
There was a sudden explosion of color in front of her eyes and the whole real world came painfully crashing down on her. She squeezed the hoof hard enough to break bone and screamed, to her surprise, out loud.
"Captain be damned! She's still alive!" Shouted the doctor's voice and she screamed again.
The pain was unbearable, nothing in her whole time of captivity was this painful. She felt as if her whole body was being torn apart. There were no thoughts, all she knew was exploding pain.
The doctor spoke and she hardly heard. "I'll make it short. You are in labor! Come on! One more. You are almost done!"
She screamed again and could quite clearly feel a wailing object leave her body. The pain started to die down, if only a little, to where it was bearable. Rainbow took a pained breath slowly starting to calm down.
"Okay... Shhhh... You are okay. Just breath. Can you hear me?" The doctor asked with a wailing cry sounding in the next room.
With a noble effort she brought herself under control reduced to only crying and whimpering. "Wh- what j- just h- happened to me?" She thought with every inch of her body burning. She could hear a light sobbing and gasping of a female and realized she still had a hoof in a death grip which she let go.
"Well done. I have some explaining to do to you miss..." He said sounding like he was getting comfy for a speech. "First off you are a very tough mare, we were sure we had killed you. You see, when we put you to sleep it turns out you were allergic to the drugs. You went into shock and stopped breathing then your heart stopped and you were dead. When we brought you back you were unresponsive. In fact, the only reason you are still alive is because I wouldn't let them kill your babies... " He paused for a moment. "Anyway you have come back to us again. As you can probably tell we still fixed you up while you were out. Your mouth works and you seem to have quite a set of lungs. I'll bring your babies in as soon as they are cleaned up. So far as I can tell they are both healthy. Can you speak?"
She kept panting and whimpering to herself not able to stop crying.
"Okay... I guess that wasn't a fair question right now was it? I have a little of the first pain killer around still, the one you didn't react too, would you like some of that?" He asked the blue wreck turned mother and in reply he got a simple nod.
After a minute she became very floaty and happy. Things were funny again and all her pain drifted away.
"Miss? Can you hear me? Still there?" He got a slow nod in response. "Good.... whew... I want you to keep as still as possible okay? You have been through a lot and your body needs to heal. Yoo hoo. You still listening?" He said watching her head bob back and forth.
She nodded but more or less flopped to one side making little noises and more high then she has ever been.
"Erm... right. Ah! Here come your children." She felt two squirming lumps placed on her. "They really are adorable. and the one has your mane too. two fillies. they really are adorable miss... erm. What is your name anyway? Can you tell me?"
She continued to flop about and cooed at the to children.
"I'll take that as a no then. Here. I have a better way of putting you to sleep." Through her high she felt a hoof push into her neck and she passed out.

Rainbow Dash felt a sharp poke in her side. "Miss? Are you awake yet?" The doctor spoke calmly.
She whimpered and groaned feeling more sore than ever.
"Good. So it occurred to me while you were out that English may not be your first language. Are you able to understand me okay?" He questioned eagerly to which she nodded slowly.
"Okay. Good. Are you able to answer some questions?" She nodded again feeling a headache coming on.
"What is your name?" He asked with some urgency.
"Ra-" She sputtered her voice almost gone from lack of use.
"Here, drink this," Remembering her blindness he added, "It's water"
She drank as the liquid was held to her mouth and choked on it a little. The water flowing through her felt amazing on her dry sore throat but also succeeded in awakening her hunger causing it to growl.
"Miss? Your name?" He said with a hint of urgency. "Rachel? Rae? Rafaela? Raina? Raisa? Ramona?"
She coughed more and was having trouble making words. "R- R- Rain" her voice gave out again.
"Rain? Is that it?" He asked sounding unsure to which she shook her head.
"B- b- bow" She struggled before going into another coughing fit.
"Rainbow? Is that it? " He asked hopefully.
"
Close enough" She nodded weakly.
"Rainbow... odd name... I guess it suits you pretty well though"
"Odd? How is that odd?" She thought somewhat concerned and just a tad scared.
"Just so you are aware. I have someone looking over your kids. You'll get them back when we get you out of here" He said trying to comfort.
"... Kids?" She thought "W- Wh- What k- kids?" She said hoarsely. She could almost feel the doctor's expression change. "Oh Celestia. Please. I can't be a mother! I can't!"
"You gave birth to two fillies two days ago. They are quite cute. We are not quite sure who the father is. Do you know?" He asked.
A chill ran up her spine and she did her best to keep her cool trying to suppress the nightmares. The gap felt like it spanned hours in which time she was sure the doctor was writing everything.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Are you hungry at all or anything?" With that statement her stomach seemingly deflated making a loud sound of hunger. "Right. I'll call someone to get that for you." Rainbow sat and listened but hardly heard the doctor who's name she couldn't remember talk to someone over some sort of contraption.
"I'm a mother. How do I take care of kids? How do I feed them? What do I do? Will I ever see them?" She kept panicking at a mile a minute trying to keep from screaming.
"Okay food is on the way. Can you sit up?" He asked. She didn't reply but he was guessing the answer is no. "I'll help you then... Is that okay? Just nod if you need too."
She nodded not really sure what she was agreeing to as she was still having a freak out.
"Okay. Nice and slow" She felt hooves on her and she yelped and screamed from soreness and pain as she was helped upright. "There. That wasn't too bad."
"Speak for yourself jerk!" She thought "O- ow..."
"Sorry. You are clearly quite sore" He stated.
"No really?"
"Can you move your forelegs?"
"How many miracles do you want in one day?!" She thought. She felt his hooves on her again slowly helping her forelegs up. They responded to her commands but felt very heavy and were very sore. Before she could complain about it she was suddenly met with a heavenly smell.
"Oh look at that. Your breakfast is here. Ready to eat?" He asked and she could feel his smile.
"Y- Yes pl- please."
