//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Bedrest // Story: To Hold Chaos // by DiscordFan //------------------------------// It was June. Oh, no. IT'S BUCKING JUNE!!! Fluttershy would have to go on bedrest! Her animals would be alone with Discord practically the whole entire time! For the baby, Shy. For the baby. She rubbed her plump stomach. Her baby... She would see her baby in about a month. Fluttershy sighed as she remembered the recent events: Twilight's relationship with BlueBlood, Rarity's wedding with Fancy Pants, Rainbow's sudden relationship with Flash Sentry (and turned out they had been meeting secretly), Pinkie Pie and Spike dating, and Applejack and... Soarin? Fluttershy found that pair a little bit weird. VANILLA!!!! Oh, come on. You were doing so good! "Discord," Fluttershy called, "It's June!" Discord appeared in front of Fluttershy. He grabbed her and carried her gingerly upstairs. "Alright! To the bedroom," Discord shouted. "Don't worry, Shy-shy. I didn't forget about the bedrest." "O-oh! The baby kicked!" "Angel! Get the ice-cream!" The loyal rabbit hopped in, saluted, and hopped out. Discord was set her on the bed. "Alright. Fluttershy, you're goin' on bedrest for a month, as the doctor prescribed. Understood?" Fluttershy giggled at Discord's get-up. He was wearing a doctor's outfit and a plastic-mouth-mask. She nodded as she continued to giggle. She loved her 'chaotic' husband. "Thank you, Dissy. I glad you remembered." "Why would I forget?!" "'Cause you Dissy. And you're also my Dissy!" "Fair enough. Let's see... Here's a bottomless-metal bucket, a 'Think_It-Eat_it' cabinet, craving-pills, and your stomach-cramp pills. Is that everything, Shy-shy?" "I-I think so..." *kick, KICK* "Ow! Dissy?" "Yes?" "I think it's gonna be an earth pony with the strength of an Apple times ten." "Then we have a serious problem." Fluttershy giggled, and Discord began to chuckle. The couple stayed like that even when Angel came back with Fluttershy's favorite ice-cream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been two weeks, and Fluttershy was sick and tired of being on bedrest. As Discord would put it, it's "sooooo BOOOOORING!!!" Fluttershy sighed and continued her jig-saw puzzle. It was of two bunnies playing together. It was pretty cute, for sure! She was just bored to Tartarus. Fluttershy groaned. *kick, KI-* *BLEEEHH* Thank Dissy for bottomless buckets. She dragged her ice-cream across the bed next to her. It was her favorite: Petunia Petal Bliss, a mixture of, well... petunias, chocolate, and vanilla. Utter bliss to Fluttershy. She devoured the ice-cream whole-heartily. Utter, utter bliss... If the baby didn't like Petinia Petal Bliss, then Fluttershy didn't think the baby was hers. Joking! I'll always love my baby... she finished the tub of ice-cream; she gazed sadly into the empty tub. "ANGEEEEEEEEEEEELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel, downstairs, fainted on the spot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Three weeks of boredom. Discord now didn't leave his plump wife's side. Her friends were getting worried. Fluttershy refused to eat anything but her Petunia Petal Bliss. If she did, she'd barf. It was getting worse. She began to twitch violently in her sleep with no nightmares. Twilight informed Luna about Fluttershy's nighttime, uh... conditions. When told Twilight Fluttershy wasn't even dreaming, Twilight panicked. She couldn't help her friend. To make matters worse, Fluttershy missed Twilight's proposal with BlueBlood. When Fluttershy learned she had slept through her friend's proposal, she immediately began bawling her eyes out. Now, it was three days until the baby's due date. What would happen? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy woke up in the middle of the night. She felt a warm liquid trickling on her back legs. Am I peeing?! She looked at Discord's automatic-changing calendar: June Seventh! Holy. BUCKING. Celestia. My water broke... "DISSSYY!!!!!!!!!" He appeared, disappeared with Fluttershy, and appeared in the hospital. "Her water broke! Get her in a room! NOW!!!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy was resting in a hospital room on one of their beds. Discord gazed through the door window. "Sir, we're going to have you to leave." Discord nodded and headed towards the lobby. He stayed there the rest of night, curled up on the small blue-green chairs. "You're gonna be fine, Shy-shy. You're gonna be fine," Discord whispered. "I love you..." And he fell asleep in the lobby.
