It's been only a short amount of time since the centaur, Tirek, razed the forest of Everfree to the ground, and was defeated by the very ponies he hated, being sent back into the belly of the earth from which he escaped. And in that time, life has mostly returned to normal for the citizens of Ponyville. Normal that is except for the recently promoted princess, Twilight Sparkle and her assistant Spike, the baby dragon. Neither of whom know quite how to go back to normal since the incident.

This story is a sequel to Blooming Heat

(And now after waiting for so long... the most asked for sequel of my #1 viewed story, "Blooming heat," is finally here!)

After mating with Spike during her first heat season, Apple Bloom has the entire town shocked as she eventually became pregnant.
No one saw this coming, and neither did Apple Bloom and Spike. However, they are prepared for whatever this event brings them. But what will happen when the baby comes a little earlier than expected; and will Apple Bloom and Spike survive through the process?

Sleep is an interesting thing. For some creatures, it is a an undesired necessity. Children, for example, will refuse to go to bed, no matter how tired they truly are.

Spike is a child and it doesn't matter how much he's yawning or how much difficult he has keeping his little balance; he is not tired and he will not sleep.

"Bedtime," says Twilight.

"Not without a fight," says Spike.
