Chapter 3 - There has to be something.
She yawns as she stares at you, “You're up early.”
You smile back as you stare at her bright face, but you don’t say anything. You just stare at her as you finally let yourself relax for a moment.
“Twilight!” Pinkie charges in behind you towards her friends bedside, “Twilight? Are you okay? Is your horn okay? How many hooves am I holding up?!” She flaps her hoof in the air rapidly as she cuntunes to talk in faster tone, “Ifyousayoneyou’recorrectifyousaytwothentheymighthattocheckyourhead...”
Pinkie is silenced as Applejack pulls her from Twilight, “Whoa girl, Twilight probably needs her rest.”
“You okay sugarcube?”
Twilight nods as gives a giggle to Pinkie being held back.
A sense of relief washes over you as you continue to watch Twilight’s friends crowded around her. She laughs as Pinkie continues to try and talk through Applejacks silencing. You step aside from the door as everypony else comes in.
“Twilight!.” Spike runs to Twilight and hugs her as he sobs a bit, “I thought I would never see you again.”
Twilight hugs Spike tightly as she talks, “That would never happen.”
Rainbow nudges her as she talks in a proud tomboyish voice, “Ya, they all got sappy, but I knew you would be fine. You’re always fine.”
Rarity blows at Rainbow, “Don’t let her tough girl attitude fool you, she was just as concerned yesterday.” Rarity looks around the room for a moment before continuing, “Are you okay to leave today?”
Twilight taps her hoof to her face as she talks, “I have to wait for the doctor It think.” She looks to you as she talks, “They just wanted to run one more test to make sure I’m ok.”
You walk closer to the bed as she finishes talking.
Rainbow stares at her horn as she talks, “So what did they say was the problem anyways? A bad spell overload?”
Before Twilight can answer a male voice is heard from behind you, “You would be correct Rainbow.” You turn to a caramel brown unicorn with brown hair, he is floating a clipboard close to him as he talks. Your eyes are drawn to his cutie mark, which looks like a heart monitor, you laugh a little as you look around the room, how advanced is pony medicine?
The pony looks up from his paper as he looks around the room, “Hello Rainbow, remembering to fly safe right?”
Rainbow looks a little annoyed as she answers, “Yes Doctor Stable.”
He looks to you as he stops, he smiles as he looks you over, “You’re a new face. New to Ponyville?”
You shake your head.
He nods with a smile.
“So doc, can Twilight go home yet?”
Stable looks back at the sheets of paper as he talks slowly, “Yes, well Twilight can go home at anytime she feels comfortable.” He again stops as he look up, his voice is now serious as he talks, “You should never try a spell like that again. Do you have any idea how dangerous that was, especially this far in?”
You smile a little wider as the doctor continues his lecture to Twilight.
Twilight holds her head down to the bed, “I won't be trying anything like that again soon, trust me.”
He puts the clipboard in a slot at the end of the bed as he talks, “Honestly you would think a unicorn such as yourself would know not to use big spells this late in a pregnancy.”
“WHAT?!” Twilight almost jumps from the bed as she screams.
The room’s air becomes shallow as everypony takes a large gasp.
Doctor Stable looks around at everypony’s reactions and is a bit taken back, “I...I take it you didn't know?”
Everypony stares between you and Twilight in a shocked state for a few painfully silent moments. Your smile slowly fades as Stables words finally settle into your mind...You feel your breath become deeper as your mind completely blanks. You stand in the room as nothing more than a furry statute as the conversation around you picks up.
Twilight shacks as she again calls out to the doctor, “I can’t be pregnant!”
Stable again pulls the clipboard up to himself as he reads it silently, “Well, your test say you are.”
You're still frozen as you look at everypony's faces. Rainbow Dash's jaw is wide open and her wings stand out to the side with the tips to the ground. Rarity holds her hoof up to her mouth and she stares at Twilight motionlessly. Pinkie is laughing out loud on the ground. Applejack shifts her eyes uneasy and Fluttershy stares at you with a blushed expression, her lips whisper the words “oh my.” As she turns from Twilight and you.
Twilight now sits speechless as the doctor finishes what he was saying, “...You can come in tomorrow and we can re-test you if you would like. But I would advise you to not use magic as much as you do. If the foal is a unicorn using too much magic could stun it’s growth.”
Stable looks around the room and gives a nod as he walks out, “Have a nice day.”
As he leaves the room Spike looks to everypony, “How did Twilight get pregnant?”
Rarity gives a nervous laugh as she pushes Spike out of the room, “Oh um...Hey Spike you should come gem testing with me ok?” As Rarity pushes Spike out of the room she pokes her head back in, “Um, congratulations Twilight.”
Applejack drags Pinkie out of the room as she is still on the floor laughing hysterically, “I think we’ll give you two some time alone, um glad to see you feel better sugarcube.”
Rainbow pushes Fluttershy out of the room now as she too has taken a stance like a unmoveable statute, “I’-I’ll see you two tomorrow.”
You have not moved a muscle since your mind fully grasped what was said but as everypony leaves the room you loosen up a bit and try to talk, but your voice is a cracky high pitched voice, “...hi.” You feel dumb for saying that but right now your mind is not working.
Twilight continues to study the bed spread beneath her two front hooves as she talks, “I-I can’t be pregnant.”
You swallow as the hamster in your head starts to run, “Twil-...” You're cut off by her as she hoof to the clipboard, her voice is almost sad as she talks, “Could you give me that?”
You hover the clipboard over to her and wait as she looks at it.
Her eyes study the writing thoroughly as she goes over the papers what seems like hundreds of times.
You again try to talk as you notice her eyes starting to get stressed, “Maybe you should just lay down...”
Her purple magic wraps around the board as she lifts it up and hoofs to a line, her voice is excited as she talks, “Look see I can’t be.”
You nod your head to her. But still are not fully aware of the conversation.
She moves from the bed as she places her hooves on the ground, “Lets go home I am going to look over something.” She looks determined as she walks towards you.
You try to talk in a low voice as she walks past you, “Are you sure you’re okay?”
She rolls her eyes as she stops at the door, “I’m fine now lets go.”
You are slow as you follow after her.
She turns her head as she walks, “The doctor said I could leave when I wanted.”
You follow slowly behind her as you still try to fully understand what's going on. You eyes drift to her as she walks as you start to think, Does she look bigger?...no its the light...well...no...Your mind drifts on its own as you focus on the lavender pony in front of you.
Rarity stands near the waiting area as you near the door she call out in a questioning tone, “Where are you going darling?”
Twilight doesn't stop walking as she talks, “Home.”
Rarity holds her hoof out not understanding, “Why?”
Twilight calls out as she walks out of the door, “Studying!”
