Maybe I always...

Chapter 3 – Thanks a lot Rainbow

Twilight gives a yawn as the library starts to come into view, "Am I supposed to feel so tired?"

You give a light laugh as this is the third time on your journey back home she has brought that up, "I don't know Twilight."

As you both reach the library door you open it and wait for her to go in as you follow behind her.

As you enter behind her your mind is rushed with a high pitched tomboyish voice,"Dude where have you guys been?"

The tomboyish voice strikes you as odd as you turn to face her, you see Rarity, Rainbow and Spike standing at the bottom of the staircase.

You stare at them for a moment before you realize, oh ya Rainbow breaks into houses.

Spike runs to Twilight's legs as he hugs her with a sad voice, "Where did you guys go?"

Twilight hugs the little purple dragon as she confronts him, "I'm sorry Spike, we went to the hospital this morning."

Rarity puts her hoof over her mouth as she talks, "Oh my, is the foal ok?!"

Spike looks up at Twilight and Rainbow and Rarity both have wide eyes as they wait for an answer, "yes, but um..." she gave a nervous laugh as she continues "It's-it's a bit bigger than we thought."

Rarity taps her hoof to her face as she talks, "Oh darling it can't be that much different than you thought, what like a few extra weeks?"

Twilight sighs as she talks, "Well, four or five months."

Rainbow looks confused as she stares at Twilight and Rarity rubs her neck with her hoof as she gives a shifty laugh while she looks around the library.

Twilight rolls her eyes as she talks, "It's his." She points her hoof to you and with in a moment they both give a sigh of relief. Rarity still hold a confused face as she talks, "ha ha, yes well, um congrats."

Rainbow nudges you as she flaps her wings in your face, "Not bad, got her on the first try?"

You blink at her as you uneasy to answer that, it's been two days...is the second day question the father day or something....you hold that thought as you stand like stone for the rest of their conversations....holy crap i'm going to be a dad.....

The conversation continues without you as Spike smiles to Twilight, "And don't worry Twilight I won't burn the Phoenix when it delivers the foal." he gives an innocent happy smile as he look to her.

Twilight laughs a little as she look to Rarity for answer, but Rarity only shrugs with a laugh, "and make sure you don't...ha....ha"

Rainbow rolls her eyes to her as she talks,"So if you're like five months in shouldn't you be thinking of names or tidying up the library or telling Celestia..." she shift between you two, "Oh man how are you going to tell your parents?"

Rarity pulls on her tail trying to stop her but she doesn't pick up on it and continues, "Cut it out Rarity..." She points to you with a laugh, "I mean telling Celasia you're carrying an alien foal might be easy but your parents." She start to laugh as she stops talking.

Twilight squints her eyes as she talks in an annoyed voice, "Oh it's funny to you hu? You're not the one who is pregnant!" Her voice cracks as she stops.

Rainbow now lands on the ground and rubs her hoof over her neck, "geez...sorry Twilight, I was only having some fun."

You snap out of your daze as you look at Twilight, "um maybe you two should go...it's been a weird day."

Rarity pushes Rainbow towards the door, "yes, I can see you two are not really in the mood to talk." she gives another shifty laugh as she opens the door, "We shall stop by tomorrow...ta darling."

As the door shuts you place your hoof on Twilight, she shutters at your touch as she brings her head up and looks to the main library.

"The library is a mess?! Could you imagine if a little foul was in here, it would fall and get hurt."

You squint at her comment, why would we leave the books on the floor for six months? You watch as the mass pile of books get a purple glow around them. Your quick to nudge her as you talk, "maybe you shouldn't use magic right now."

She gets a little mad at your comment, "I am the element of magic? How do I just STOP...hmm,?"

You blink at her for a moment, "um...just for today?"

She taps her hoof to her head as she takes a seat at the kitchen table, "Ok, then you clean."

Spike calls out before you can answer, "Yes mam!" He starts to collect the books one by one with his claws.

Twilight smiles as she slowly puts her head on the table.

You roll your eyes to Spike as you float all the books off the ground and shove them into the selves not caring where they go, you look at you handy work with a smile, well they are off the ground.

Spike looks at the selves with an annoyed attitude, "oh come on...now I have to sort them."

You ignore him as you walk to Twilight, her eyes are now shut and her face is completely to the wood table.

"Twilight...go to bed."

She awakes a little started at you voice, she rubs her head as she talks, "I'm not tired...I have toooo..." she looks around the room for something to say.
But before she can give an excuse you talk, "Twilight at least go and take a nap."

She shakes her head at you as she looks back to Spike, "Spike can you bring me a piece of paper and a quill?"

Spike stops pulling books from the shelves as he dashes out of the room.

You look back to Twilight, her mane is still messed up from where she didn't brush it this morning her eyes hang only half opened and she keeps yawning, you think to yourself. What is she going to do with paper?

Spike returns and runs the items to her.

Twilight smiles as she takes the quill in hoof and sets the paper on the table, "We need to come up with names."

You blow at her comment, "Twilight we have time."

She talks now in a know it all voice, "Oh ya well what-what if a hydra attacks Ponyville and I have to teleport it back to the lake?!"

You think about the comment for a second, note to self never go to the lake.

Her voice is now rushed a she talks, "Then I would only have one month! So no no no I want to have a name."

You try to think as she stares at you.

She blinks a little at your silent then flops her head onto the table with a tearless sob, "I...I don't want to be pregnant..."

Spike stops sorting the shelves as he listens to her crying.

You bite your lip at her cries as you think, names? Why do we have to come up with names now? Your head pounds a little as you think about it...and you feel a little sick as your thought about being a dad rush you. But you push them back as you talk, "Tomorrow...Tomorrow we will ok?"

She stops her whining and buries her hooves around her muzzle, "I'm sorry...I don't know why i'm crying..."

You take a seat in front of her as you take the quill and paper from her hooves, "it's alright Twilight."

She continues to not show her face as she talks, "I don't feel good."

You place your hoof onto hers as you try to calm her down.

She talks in a muffled voice, "Spike..."

He calls back to her, "Yes Twilight?"

"Can you bring me, Unicorn Pregnancy ?"

He walks the book over and sets it on the table and gives you a confused look.

She takes the book as she gets up from the table, "I think i'm going to send Celasia that letter now." Her voice is low and she looks to the ground.

Spike scratches his neck as he talks, "Actually Twilight I don't really feel too good." He faked a cough as he smiles, "Um, tomorrow we will send it ok?"

She nods as she walk past him hovering the book close to her, "I'm going to go take a nap then ok?"

You and Spike both reply with a ok as she starts up the stairs.

You now bang your head onto the table as you rub your head...uhhhh this would feel so much better with hands...

Spike pokes his finger into your side and you give a little shout, "Ow! Why did you do that?"

He points his finger at you as he talks, "Why is Twilight so upset?"

You rub your side as you look at the tiny dragon before you answer,...not worth it, "The baby...foal's growth rate has been changed and now her hormones are all crazy." You give a nod at your own answer, I should had been a doctor...still could.

Spike taps his claw to his mouth as he talks, "How long is she going to be like that?"

You look to the stairs with a slight frown, you hate to see her sad and now you can't even do anything about it... "I don't know Spike."
