Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Twilight's head still rest up against your side as you both still linger in the waiting room for more news. It took her a few minutes to fully calm down but she now has her eyes closed and is what you guess would be a pony cat nap. You look down at her peaceful little escape from the world around you and silently wish you could just slip into a sleep right now, but you are too busy watching the clock and waiting for the doctor. You have convinced yourself no news is good news, you look to the clock as you reiterate that thought, twelve forty....

You lean your head against the wall as you sigh, moving your body is futile as you know you would have to disturb her rest. So instead you make do with the little bit of comfort the hard wall gives you in the position you sit.

Twilight shifts a little on you as you do this, so you stop your movement.

The silence of the hospital is depressing and mind numbing as the only sound you can hear is the loud click of the clock.

After a few moments you start to feel your eyes droop down, but it doesn't last long as the front doors to the building burst open.

"Nurse Redheart! Nurse Redheart!"

You and Twilight both bring your heads up as you both look to the overly excited voice. You watch as a franticly panting orange Pegasus stallion with green and black mane run to the counter with his wings out wide, "I think Medley is going into labor!" He smiles big as he runs back to the door to hold it open.

Twilight shifts her head more up right as the feminine voice from outside gets closer.

"...I swear, I can't tell him anything." An annoyed teal Pegasus mare with blue green hair is rushed in by the giggle orange stallion. Her bloated sides sway as she walks up to the counter where the nurse pony still stands, "I'm sorry for this, but you know can't be too careful with triplets." She gives a light hearted tired laugh at the end of her statement.

The orange Pegasus puts his hooves on the counter as he talks, "I heard the triplets can come at any time." He smiles as he looks to the teal mare next to himself, "And I don't want to take any chances."

The teal mare rolls her eyes as she talks, "All I said was that I felt one kick."

The orange stallion wiggles his hooves in the air as he talks, "Ya, and that means they want to spread their wings Medley. Don’t you remember all the stories I told you about me!" He looks to Red Heart with a happily bobbing smiling head.

Nurse Redheart gives a friendly laugh as she walks from behind the counter, "Of course Mr. Daze. Right this way."

The energetic stallion walks behind the teal mare as they walk to the room Redheart hoofed to. She yawns as her heavy hooves clop against the floor, "When we get home you're bring me a nice warm cloud shower."

The orange stallion brushes up against her, "We might be going home with more than us."

The mare laughs at his comment, "And if we do you had better not wake me in the morning."They both give a little laugh as they enter into a room down the hall.

As they enter the room and you hear the door close behind them their voices are nothing more than a muffled sound at the end of the hallway, and the hospital goes silent again.

Twilight's head is fixed on the wood door down the hall as the clock ticks away. You stare at her at the back of her purple mane as you move your hoof across her back.

She doesn't turn her head as you continue to run your hoof through her unbrushed coat.

You swallow hard as you try to talk, "um...how did you sleep?"

Her head doesn't shift as she answers in a low voice, "fine."

You nod you head as you continue to try and make the silent hospital come alive, "It's uh...it's only been like five minutes."

She nods her head a little.

You move your eyes from her as you try not to choke up.

After a few moments you hear the crack of the wood door as it opens with a feminine voice, "...Just remember to stay away from turbulent winds ok?"

The teal mare walks out nodding her head as the orange stallion talks for her, "Oh she doesn’t have to worry about that, we moved from Cloudsdale a few weeks ago."

The mare yawns as she walks past you and Twilight, "I just can't wait to get back home."

The orange Pegasus takes a paper from nurse Redheart as he gallops after her, "Coming dear."

Nurse Redheart glances over to where you both sit before she turns to walk down the hallway.

Twilight's eyes follow the mare as they leave the building, her sight is cut as the doors close behind them. You to stop yourself from staring at her as she holds her gaze to the front doors...her soft purple eyes are filled with want and worry and you know if you stare into them for just one second you would lose it.

You feel her head start to rest on you again after a few moments of the hospitals ticking silent’s.

Her eyes are closed as she tries to bury herself into your coat. You rest your head on hers when she finally stops moving.

You hold your mouth shut not knowing what to say as you feel a warm dampness start to seep from where her eyes rest. The sound of her low whimper strikes your ears with a sharp pinch as you hold your emotions back trying to act strong for her. Her silent shacks start back up as you again try to calm her like before. You bite at the inside of your mouth in misery as you can't bring your mind to think of anything else to do.
