Chapter 1

Maybe I...

Chapter 1- Maybe I always...

You awake with the a heavy inhale as the birds chiming outside holds you from your sleep. You still have your eyes closed but they continue to chime away until your thoughts on sleep have completely faded from your mind. You slowly blink your eyes awake as you stare at the purple mane in front of you, her body is nuzzled up against yours and your hoof rest on her warm stomach. You now smile a little as you listen to the birds outside, whoa Pinkie's cupcakes were good.

Your eyes are still fix on her mane as you slowly move your hoof up and down through her belly's soft coat, she is still asleep and way too close for you to move without disturbing her...which is fine with you, you would rather not leave your warm cocoon anyways.

You gentle rub her belly as you lay next to her still listening to the birds outside as you enjoy your slow morning start. You move your head a little closer to hers as you close your eyes and rest.

After a few moments of your new found relaxation you hear a light groaning from beneath your head, and you feel her starting to shift a little as she starts to wake.

Her light shifting continues as she grabs your hoof and talks in a still sleepy voice, “I feel like i'm going to be sick.” She gives a low little whine as she holds onto your hoof.

You feel like cold water has just been thrown onto you as your mind kick starts with a overly concerned reaction, “What? Why? Are you ok?”

Her voice is now more alarmed as she starts to move from the bed, “Oh Celestia I am going to be sick.”

You watch as she puts her hoof to her mouth and her other hoof to her stomach while she moves to the edge of the bed.

You sit up not knowing what else to do but ask her, “Do I nee-...”?”

She waves her hoof at you to be quite as she sits on the edge of the bed as she faces the ground.

You place your hoof on her back and slowly move it around as she makes a few more low groans.

After a few moments she lays her head back down on the pillow facing you, “uhhh, I didn't get any sleep last night.”

You lay your head back down with a light chuckle of relief.

She whines a little as she close her eyes to try and sleep again, “It's not funny.”

You brush some of her mane out of her face as she continues to talks, “...I don't want to get up...but I'm hungry...can you bring me something?” She opens her soft purple eyes to you with a puppy dog face.

You give another chuckle as you think, we have only known she has been pregnant for one day and she is already milking it. You sit back up in the bed as you talk, “Ok, what do you want?”

She opens her eyes a little wider as she thinks, “Do we have any more cupcakes?”

You blink at the question for a moment, are cupcakes a good thing for a pregnant mare to eat in the morning? “Um, is that healthy?”

She looks to the bed as she talks, “I...I don't know” She then brings her head back up with a little more enthusiasm, “Ok, SweetApple Acres's apples, then I need to look through my books.”

You nod as you leave the bed.

But before you can leave the room she calls back out to you, “And a cupcake.”

You roll your eyes with a light chuckle to her request as you think, there are going to be a lot of sweets in this house.

After about ten minutes of getting everything you carefully hover the bowls, plates and cups next you as you leave the kitchen and venture back into the main library, your eyes catch the still cluttered floor of books from yesterday and you try to focus on not dropping the items...or burning them. As you cautiously place each step you make a note to yourself to come back and clean this stuff up.

As the stairs come into sight you pick up pace and climb them, one thing that has always helped you remember how to walk up stairs is Rainbow's voice screaming at you when you first learned how to go up and down stairs...still would be easier with hands and feet though.

You turn into the room trying to no bump the wall, “ok, I ...-”

Your eyes are brought to the empty bed as you place the items on a nearby open shelve, “Twilight?”

You hear a low moan from behind you as you watch her exit the bathroom and walk towards the bed. Her eyes are half shut and she walks with a sluggish patch, when she sits on the bed she floats an apple to herself and bites into it.

You look her over as she eats.

She stops chewing as she talks in annoyed voice, “What?”

You blink a little taken back by her change in attitude but you shrug it off as just a normal morning sickness thing, “You feeling ok?”

She takes another bite of the apple as she talks, “Yes.”

You no to her answer as you hover a bright red apple to your mouth, but before you can bite down you notice her grab her stomach in pain.

She lets out a high pitched squeal as she bends over towards the floor still holding her sides. The apple she had in her purple grasp has fallen to the floor as she continues to give hold her stomach in what looks like pain.

Your voice is a little rushed as you talk, “Ok, we're going back to the hospital.”

She brings her head up as she talks in a bit of an angry voice, “Cramping is....” her words are cut off another cramping pain rolls thought her body, “Cramping is natural, i'm fine.”

You shake your head at her answer, “Twilight.”

She sits up a little more straight as she reaches for another apple with her hoof and takes a bite, “see i'm fine.” she shakes a little as she gives a cover up laugh.

You stare at her with a serious face as you talk in a low voice, “Twilight, I don't want to worry about you today. You're going.”

She rolls her eyes at you as she talks, “No.”

You shake your head yes.

She raises her voice a bit now as she puts her head into the air, “I am Celestia's star pupil and I am still tired, meaning I am not going.” She again shakes a little as she reaches the end of her sentence.

You continue you're cold stare as you look her over.

She opens one of her eyes to you as she still has her head raised while she talks, “I'm not going.”
