You hold the kiss almost as tightly as you hold your eyes shut, you're still weak from today, but your thoughts keep you focused and your mind off the desire to sleep. You open your eyes as the floor beneath your feet becomes a reality, you stare at Twilight as you break the kiss. Her eyes closed as her right hoof is brought up to her stomach. But your eyes are brought back up to her horn, there is slight purple aura around the tip. Your thoughts on her are cut as you hear a voice. "I thought I might see you two..." Twilight and you both look to the stallions voice. You look over doctor Stable as he pauses to stare between you two. You focus on his face, his solemn expression doesn't help your mood or the situation. Twilight's voice is sleepy and slow as she talks, "Doctor Stable I..." The caramel unicorn holds his hoof to her as he talks, "Twilight, everypony is in your debt..." he shifts his gaze between you, "Both of you." He floats a clipboard and paper over to him as he motions to the white mare behind the counter. Stable holds his hoof down the hall. Twilight pauses for a moment as she looks down the hallway. She is shaking a little as she stands close to you. You know she has to be scared but you nudge her as you walk next to her, "It will be fine Twilight." Her mouth quivered a little as she nods her head and begins her walk down the hall. Stable nods again to the nurse as he follows beside Twilight. The nurse puts her hoof to your chest as she talks in a low voice, "I'm sorry but if a unicorn is having magical discharge even with a small amount we ca...-" You shake your head at her comment before she can finish. Twilight turns her head back to you as she continues down the hallway next to Stable. The nurse pushes against you a little hard as you try to follow, "Sir please, it’s for the patient and your safety." You shift to the white mare roadblock in front and then back to Twilight as she goes inside a room a good ways down the hall. "When can I go back." She smiles a little as she hoofs to the waiting area, "We will notify you when you may go back." You nod your head to her as you slowly walk over to the couch like seats. As you sit down you stare at the ground. Your eyes are heavy and your body is weak you continue to stare at the ground as your mind begins to toy with you. You hold yourself from thinking as you watch the white mare drift behind the counter and take her seat. But you're slight stalling doesn't last long as your eyes shift to the hallway as your floodgates of emotion begins to open, she will be fine...Twilight knew not to use magic that could harm the foal...you shake your head to break the thought. The nurse looks up from her papers as she talks, "Are you ok sir?" You nod your head You look past her towards the clock on the wall, it's only eleven...you start to think about the time with a faked smile, I'll wake up in a few minutes...Twilight will be next to me and tomorrow I will complain about how I don't want to get out of bed...and then I'll make her believe the only way I can get better is if she stays under the warm blankets with me. The faked smile stays strong as you hold the lie firmly in your mind as you watch the clock slowly tick away. ------- You stop biting at your hoof as your eyes meet the chiming clock, twelve thirteen... your two front hooves are nothing more than a wet mass of fur, and you don't know if ponies bite at their hooves but if they don't you will be the first to invent it. You give a slight smirk to the thought. You turn your gaze from the clock as you look back down the hallway with a sigh. You swallow hard as your eyes yet again meet the empty hall. And now like the hundreds of other times you drag your damp hooves over your tired face trying to stay awake and trying to not think. "...Ok, just take a seat." Your ear twitches at the voice as you quickly snap your head back to the opening door at the end of the hall. At the sight of the caramel stallion holding the door open you stand up as your anxiousness almost has you galloping down the hall. But you stand next to your seat as Twilight's hanging head pokes out of the door with a nod and a few words to low to hear from where you stand. You watch the lavender colored mare with puffed out sides exit the room, you have a smile on your face as you look at her. But her purple eyes fixate on you from down the hall, they are shifty and her pace becomes a little slow as she nears the waiting room. You sit flop back down to the seat as she nears you, "Twilight?" Twilight's eyes are shifty but she holds a smile as she sits down beside you. Your heart is pounding as she opens her mouth to you, "They...they can't tell me yet." You stare at her in silence as you shake a little from her words, how can they not say anything, they use fucking magic?! "W-what?" She looks away from you as she nods her head, "y-yep, we have to wait a little longer." She sniffles at the end of the sentence. You don't know what you can say...and you don't know anything you could even think of to say as she lays her shaking and sniffling head on you. She brings her back legs on to the long couch like bench as she buries her head against your coat, she's not crying but just her trying to hold herself back is tearing you up inside. You nuzzle her hair as you try to calm her, "shhh, its fine...its fine." You continue to bring your muzzle through her tangled purple mane and put your hoof around her as you try and calm her, "Shhh." End of chapter 1
