Button walked into the darkened room and flipped on the light switch.
"Surprise!!!!" Everyone shouted, scaring the living daylights out of Button.
"Wow guys, this is amazing." Button said, looking around the room to find a videogame themed party. His mother came up to him and gave him a hug.
"I can't believe that my little colt is 26." She said. Button's dad, a unicorn with light yellow mane and light brown body walked up and gave his son a pat on the back. Button's brother, a light brown earth pony with light orange hair with a streak of yellow in it came up and ruffled his little brother's mane. Finally Sweetie came up to him and gave him a hug.
"Happy Birthday." She said as she gave Button a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Enough chit-chat, let's party! Pinkie exclaimed as she and her daughter shot party canons.(Her daughter using a miniature one.) Everyone thought it was adorable, so they didn't question where they came from.
And so the party continued. There was a pin the pickaxe on the pony Minecraft game, an Assassins Creed piñata, if it was game videogame related, it was there.
Finally came the moment of truth. When Button was receiving and opening gifts, Sweetie Belle gave him a card, not sure what else to give to Button. Inside where two plane tickets to go to a comic-con Button had longed to go to.
"Wow! Thanks Sweetie Belle, you're the best." He was given a glare from everyone in the room. "Of course it's not the best present, which I love as much as I love the others." He quickly covered up.
"That's not all." Sweetie Belle said. Everyone except the former crusaders; who had big grins on their faces, looked curious.
"What is it?" Button asked. He had clearly forgotten the week before. Sweetie took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant." She said, loud enough for the whole room to hear. Everyone was shocked. Then they surrounded the couple and gave their congratulations. The foals asking a bunch of questions.
"When are you due?" Rainbow's daughter asked.
"Do you know if it's a filly or colt yet?" Rarity's daughter asked.
"How long do we have to wait to see him?" Applejack's son asked.
"Hold on there, give her some space." Applejack said to the fillies and colts around them.
"This is all very exciting news. Congratulations Sweetie Belle." Twilight said as she plucked her Alicorn daughter up from the air.
"Thank you. And to answer your question, I'm supposed to be due in 11 months, I don't know if it's a filly or colt yet, and it might be a year before you can see the baby." Sweetie said answering all of the questions she heard.
"I can't believe that I'm going to be a grandmother again." Button's mother said excitedly.
"Neither can I." Sweetie Belle's mother, Cookie Crumbles said.
"I'm so excited! Being a mother is like the best thing ever, you get to have your own bundle of joy!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.
"I totally agree with Pinkie," Rainbow Dash said as everyone else went back to their normal positions before opening the presents. "being a mom is like the coolest thing ever, but it isn't always easy." She said as she watched over her daughter.
"Congrats you two." Rarity said as she walked up to the couple. "I can't believe it, I'm going to become an aunt!" Rarity said across the whole room. Earning her several glares. She blushed and continued. "Just let me know if you need anything. And Happy Birthday brother-in-law." Rarity said as she gave Button Mash a hug. She then went back to Fancy Pants by the punch table.
"I can't believe it," Button said as he stared at Sweetie Belle.
"To be honest, neither can I." Sweetie said.
"This is the best birthday ever." Button said as he wrapped an arm around Sweetie Belle's shoulder.
"See you guys later." Button said as he waved to the last of the ponies. He then shut the door and started looking for Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie Belle?" He asked, 'Where had that mare gone off to?'
"In here!" Sweetie called from the kitchen. Button walked in and found her stuffing her face with a giant tub of ice cream. Button stared in surprise.
'How is she still eating when she ate six slices of cake and a plate of cookies?' Button wonders. Sweetie Belle spotted that Button was looking at her in shock.
"What?" She asked suddenly. "Never seen pregnancy symptoms before?" Button then caught himself.
"I'm sorry, it's been a while since I've last seen them." Button said referring to the symptoms his sisters-in-law had for their kids years ago. "To be honest, I don't know much about this stuff." He answered as he walked in and sat next to Sweetie Belle.
"We'd better get a doctor for this, we need to think about our foal's health. Oh, and sorry." Sweetie Belle said.
"For what?"
"I'm saying sorry in advance for when I'll be getting mad at you for getting me pregnant." Sweetie Belle said. Button gulped. The last time Sweetie Belle got really mad at someone, the pony couldn't move for a month. Button started to break a sweat.
"Let's just worry about now, and our foal's help." Button said nervously. Sweetie giggled.
"Don't worry, it's just symptoms. Soon it'll all be over before you know it." Sweetie assured giving a comforting smile.
'I sure hope so.' Button thought. Sweetie Belle giggled again at the face Button was making.
"Let's enjoy the rest of the day before we worry about me." Sweetie said before giving Button a kiss on the cheek. "Want to play Counterstrike?" She asked.
"You know me so well." Button said as he and Sweetie got up and walked out of the kitchen.
Button and Sweetie Belle were in the doctor's office and waiting for the nurse to call them. Around they saw several ponies, some ponies were there with kids, others were expecting foals of their own. Finally, after waiting for the longest time, Nurse Redheart called them in. Without hesitation, the two walked into the quiet cold room and waited for the doctor. Sweetie Belle sat on the bed.
"Are you ok?" Button asked, seeing the nervous look on Sweetie's face.
"Yeah. I'm fine, I just wish that they wouldn't have all of those creepy posters." She explained, looking at the posters of ponies with birth defects and all. 'What ever happened to a happy mood?' she thought. Eventually the doctor came in.
"Hello, Mrs. Belle," she said. It was purple mare with a sunny yellow mane. She had a heart with a stethoscope wrapped around it for a cutiemark. She then noticed her patient's nervous face and followed her stare to the posters. "Sorry about that," she said as she pulled the drawstring, causing the posters to roll up.
"Now, tell me what's going on." the pegasus mare said.
"Oh. well I'm pregnant." Sweetie Belle said.
"I know, you wouldn't be here if you weren't. I mean do you not feel well, do you feel sicker than usual?" she asked.
"I'm actually not sure, that's why we came here. I want to know if anything is wrong." Sweetie said.
"You made a good choice to come here as soon as possible, but are you sure you're pregnant?" she asked.
"Yes, I took a test, I get morning sickness, I get cravings, the usual. Though not as strong as I've seen it." Sweetie said.
"Well just to make sure, we're going to take a series of different tests to make sure you and your baby are ok. Got it?" the mare said.
"Yes, thank you doctor." Sweetie said. The doctor walked out to get a nurse, who ran the test with Sweetie Belle while Button talked with the doctor.
"Mr. Mash, do you know about the symptoms of pregnancy?" she asked.
"To be honest, not really."
"All you need to worry about now is the first trimester, and the symptoms, you already know about the nausea and all, but there's also sharper senses of smell, fatigue, change of mood, dry eyes and/or changing vision, headaches, and she may be literally breathless in some situations, do you have it all down?" she asked Button, who was writing like crazy on a sheet of paper.
"Yes doc, anything else?" he questioned, looking up from his notes.
"I'll talk about the personal things later with Sweetie Belle, right now she should be done with the tests, we need to assure that what she says is true, and if it is, that her baby is as healthy as it can be at the moment." she said, giving Button her signature smile.
"Thank you Doctor," Button said as he turned to Sweetie Belle.
"Button! The nurse said there's a great chance that we'll be parents! Oh, I can't wait!" Sweetie said with a burst of excitement. She started skipping in place. 'Change of mood' Button remembered as he saw Sweetie's mood change from normal to excited dramatically fast.
'It's gotta be true.' Button thought. Several minutes later, the doctor came in with the nurse and results.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mash, congratulations." Doctor Healing Heart said.
"You mean it?" Sweetie Belle said. The doctor nodded and smiled.
"Yay!" Sweetie cheered. She noticed everyone around her staring. "Thanks doctor." Sweetie said redeeming herself.
"Though I need to talk to you about the symptoms, Sweetie nodded and followed thee mare out of the room. The nurse decided to give Button a pamphlet about the symptoms of the fist trimester.
"That there should help you with any questions you have." the nurse said. " And be sure to come back in a few weeks, got it?"
"Thanks," Button Mash said. Sweetie Belle then motioned for Button that it was time to leave. "See you later." Button said. The nurse nodded and giggled.
