//------------------------------// // Arrival // Story: Neighpon tales // by Seanzilla115 //------------------------------// Silver Hawk and Fluttershy were soon taken to the hospital, the shy pinkette breathing heavily as she was carried to the emergency room via wheelchair. “It’ll be okay, miss Fluttershy,” Nurse Redheart assured her as she walked beside the pinkette, Silver Hawk being the one that was pushing the wheelchair, “We will assure your children are born healthy.” “S-silver-kun…” Fluttershy panted as she looked up at the snow-white pegasus, “I-I’m scared…” “...I’m nervous too,” Silver Hawk admitted as a small smile appeared on his face, “But everything’s going to be alright, Shy-Tenshi.” “...S-silver-kun?” Fluttershy began as she looked down a bit, “I...I apologize in advance for anything I might say during the birth…” “Got ya,” he nodded. --- It had been two hours since Fluttershy entered the emergency room, her friends waiting outside as they looked on in worry. “Ooh~ the suspense is killing me,” Pinkie admitted as she shook a bit. “Remember Pinkie, if you bother babies again, you might just get banned from that part of the hospital until you have your own kids,” Rarity reminded. “I know. It’s just...I can’t help but worry about Fluttershy,” Pinkie replied. “Hey I’m nervous too, but you don’t see me shaking,” rainbow stated, though her legs were shaking like crazy, “..I’m going to check real quick.” “Y’all sure that’s a good idea?” applejack asked. “Come on..how bad could it be?” rainbow asked as she sat up and walked towards the doors. However… once she opened them just a small crack… “AHHH! YOU *yay*! YOU DID THIS TO ME YOU SON OF A…!” Rainbow immediately closed the door after that, her hair completely blown back. “...I never knew Fluttershy could be that loud…” Dash said in a quiet voice like Fluttershy would, “I think she stole the loud out of me…” “I never knew Fluttershy could curse like that,” Pinkie added before blinking, “...come to think of it, I’ve ever EVER heard her curse before.” “Glad I always carry earmuffs in case such an emergency,” Rarity informed, showing every filly had earmuffs on. “What? I’m sorry, I can’t hear you!” Scootaloo shouted. “What?! What did you say?!” Quirky shouted. “Huh?!” Sweetie Belle shouted, her voice a bit squeaky right there. “What?!” “Huh?!” “What?!” “Huh?!” “What?!” “Shh!” Twilight and Dawn hushed them, “You’re in a hospital.” “Onee-chan… Onii-chan…” Timid whispered as she looked at the doors. “Don’t. Open. That. Door,” Posey ordered. “I-I’m not,” Timid shook her head, “I-I’m… j-just worried for Onee-chan and Onii-chan.” “They’ll be fine…” Posey assured. --- “DON’T YOU DARE TOUCH ME!” Fluttershy shouted, her hand practically crushing Silver Hawk’s,the pegasus stallion trying his best not to faint from the amount of pain he was feeling. “Miss, we need you to calm d-” one of the doctors began. “DON’T YOU TELL ME TO *yay* CALM DOWN!” Fluttershy barked, her voice very deep, almost demonic like, “I’M IN A HUGE AMOUNT OF *yay* PAIN HERE!” “...Note to self: never make her angry… ever,” Silver Hawk wrote down. “YEA, YOU BETTER NOT MAKE ME ANGRY!” --- Discord had soon appeared in the waiting room, causing a bit of a panic for the non-Equestria native ponies to panic a bit, mainly those who didn't’ know that he was living with Fluttershy. “...I said I was sorry,” Discord pouted, the draconique in a straightjacket made of magic while he took the form of a pony. “You caused Dawn and Quirky to freak out for half an hour,” Twilight frowned at him. “Not easy having to run back and get them new shorts and stuff when my itoko can give birth any moment,” Posey growled, as she had some help from a nurse to wash the soaked clothes that belong to Dawn and Quirky. “Right… right,” Discord waved them off, “Honestly, it’s Neighpon all over again. Only this time, nopony’s screaming ’Gojira! Gojira!’.” “Go-what now?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow in confusion. “Name of some monster in movies,” Posey informed. --- “GAH! WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HURT SO MUCH?!?!” Fluttershy sobbed. “Calm down, miss… we already see the head. Now push…” Nurse Redheart instructed. --- “Shh… this is my favorite part…” Timid shushed, as they were watching TV in the waiting room. -GNOMES!- a character on the TV show they were watching, shouted, as gnomes erupted from a sort of a volcano. “...I honestly don't get much of the shows you kids watch now these days,” Discord commented as he lazily laid down. “This is one of the best shows ever! It’s pretty old and this is one of the earlier episodes…” Timid informed. “There is worse garbage… it’s like they just make cartoons to make money. There is no SOUL in making a cartoon just to make money!” “...Oh come now. I’m sure there are some good cartoons on now these days,” Discord scoffed as he pulled out a TV guide, “Hmm… how about Teen tit-” “Don’t. You. Dare. Finish. That.” Timid growled. “Woah… hostile,” Discord gulped a bit. “That show is garbage on ice. I was so grateful Celestia banned it.” “Oh I know…” Spike agreed, “It wasn’t anything like the original!” “There are a bunch of great Neighponese shows… to bad the laws forbid them from coming here for years,” Timid sighed, “Mou...and I wanted to see the new episode of Drive too.” --- It had been four hours now, and still no word about Fluttershy. “Think she’s alright?” Dash asked. “There hasn’t been any screaming… that’s a good sign,” Twilight nodded. “And no foul words, better sign,” Rarity added. “Eeyup,” Applejack nodded. However, before she could move, she saw Kota and Ai had dozed off by her, Ai cuddling a light blue blanket with stars on them as she laid against her brother. Applejack couldn’t help but smile at the scene, but slowly dozed off, the three sleeping together, Applebloom nearby. “...Applebloom, are you alright?” Sweetie Belle asked her friend quietly. “Hmm?” Applebloom blinked as she looked at her, “Y’all say somethin’, Sweetie Belle?” “...you can go back to sleep.” “..Nah. Ah think Ah can stay awake fer a bit longer,” Applebloom responded, before she dozed off by her big sister. --- It was Hour 5 now, and most of the group have fallen asleep, the only ones awake being Posey, Dash and Twilight. “So… what do you think our filly or colt will look like? You know… after we tie the knot and have kids?” Rainbow Dash asked her marefriend, causing Twilight to blush a little. “W-we’re not married yet, Dash. Don’t you think we should wait until after that before thinking about kids?” “...just… Butterfly being in her position…” Dash admitted. “Ohh…” twilight noted before looking down at the cast on RD’s left arm, “Um… not to change the subject, but how’s your arm by the way?” “...It still hurts a bit, but the doc says I can take it off in a few weeks or so,” Rainbow replied as she looked down at the cast. “And you remember that Tomoe kid? She’s being watched by Silver Hawk’s folks.” Posey informed, “I talked with them not long ago…” “Wait, they’re taking care of her?” “After what happened with Aki and her father… they pretty much lost custody of her due to the child abuse filed against them.” “Ohh…” Posey simply tried to relax, but fears of losing her cousin a second time kept her from relaxing at all. “...Why don’t you go to sleep, Posey?” Rainbow suggested, “We’ll let you know once we get word about Fluttershy and her kids.” “I’m scared… I lost them all once… I don’t want to lose them a second time.” “You won’t, Posey,” Twilight assured her, “The doctors here are very good with their patients.” “Alright,” Posey nodded before looking down, an embarrassed blush on her face, “But… I need to use the bathroom…” “Don’t worry, it’s right down the hall and take a right,” Rainbow instructed her. Posey nodded as she got up and headed towards the bathroom as fast as she could. --- It was six, almost seven hours now, and everypony was asleep. Timid was the first to wake up, the shy filly giving off a small yawn as her eyes began to open, letting her see it was 5:15 in the morning. She then looked at the doors in worry, seeing there wasn’t any news about Fluttershy. She slowly walked to the door, making sure not to wake everypony up. When she got within reach, the shy filly tried to open it, but the door was slowly opened by Nurse Redheart, who soon noticed the pegasus filly. “...A-ano… Is o… I mean, miss Fluttershy okay?” Timid asked in near broken Equestrian language. “Oh? Misaki? She’s okay. It was a bit of an ordeal, but we managed to deliver her children,” Nurse Redheart assured her, causing Timid to sigh in relief, “...Do you want to see them?” “...hai,” Timid nodded, “Oh… I mean…” “Don’t worry about your native tongue. I was snuck here by my parents when I was about your age,” Nurse Redheart giggled a bit as she quietly opened the door for her, “Now… please be quiet. They babies are still sleeping.” Timid nodded as she looked and saw that there was some food left on the ground. She then quietly walked in to see the scene before her. Laying there on the bed was a very tired Fluttershy, a soft smile on her face as she looked at the two foals in her arms, one a colt and the other a filly. Nearby was Silver Hawk, who had a small tray in his hand with some unfinished food, the snow-white stallion yawning a bit as he sat up. He was about to throw the food away before he noticed Timid “Nee-chan… when’d you get here?” “Ano, R-Redheart-san let me in,” Timid answered, “I-I wanted to see how you and Onee-chan were doing.” “So… you two married?” Redheart asked in a whisper. “Not… yet,” Silver Hawk admitted before he looked at Fluttershy, a small tired smile on his face, “But… I hope so… I want to be there for her and our children… they mean everything to me.” Fluttershy giggled before yawning a bit. “Tired?” “H-hai…” Fluttershy nodded, trying her best to stay awake. --- Rainbow Dash yawned as she and Twilight were the last to wake up “Minna… come on,” Timid whispered. “Huh?” Rainbow blinked a bit as she looked over to the doorway, “...When did Timid get in? ...Wait. Does that mean…?” “Shh… come on,” Timid whispered as she motioned the older mares and her friends to come in quietly. The others gave slight nods in response as they got up and quietly walked inside. They soon arrived where Fluttershy and Silver Hawk were, the former looking like she was about to sleep any moment as she looked down at the two foals in her arms, a soft smile on her face. “Kawaii.../Cute…” Quirky and Pinkie whispered. “Oh they’re absolutely adorable,” Rarity smiled, trying her best to not squeal. “I know…” Posey agreed quietly. “How’re y’all feelin’, Sugahcube?” Applejack asked her shy friend. “...tired and hungry,” is all she responded. “No kidding. You’ve been up for like… 6-7 hours now,” Rainbow stated. “8 actually…” Fluttershy corrected as she looked down at her new born foals, “I wanted to wait for you girls to come see them.” Twilight looked at the two of them,seeing the colt had a greyish-white coat with a pink mane while the filly had a pure white coat, almost like freshly fallen snow while her mane was a soft ice blue with a pale rose-pink highlight in it. “Meet Kaito Breeze and Snow Angel,” Silver Hawk introduced the two. “They’re beautiful, aren't they Twilight?” Fluttershy asked the Alicorn. “They are, Fluttershy,” Twilight nodded as she smiled at her friend, “I’m really happy for you two…” Kaito and Snow were fast asleep, the filly of the two giving off a small whimper as she moved her head a bit closer to her mother. “There there… it’s okay, Snow… mommy’s here,” Fluttershy smiled softly. “I’m an aunt…” Timid giggled. “When they’re a bit older, can I play with them?” Quirky asked quietly, “I promise I’ll be a good adult to them.” “Quirky, we’re still kids,” Scootaloo sweatdropped a bit. “Correction, most of us are preteens, Scooti,” Quirky giggled. Kaito began to squirm, almost woken up. “Oops. Sorry,” Quirky whispered as she covered her mouth. Fluttershy began to hum a soft lullaby to Kaito, calming him down. “...You’re a good mother, Fluttershy,” Rarity smiled. --- “So… where are you two going to be staying?” Dash asked, as she helped Fluttershy get some food in her. “I don’t know…” Fluttershy replied before blushing, taking a small sip of her water, “Though before… ‘that’ happened last night, Silver-kun said he’d stay here with me.” Timid watched them talk as she ate some yogurt, the filly sitting in a nearby chair. “...Does that mean I’ll be living without my Onii-chan?” Timid asked after swallowing her spoonful of yogurt. “...Ano… well…” Fluttershy paused as she looked down, “...I… don’t know actually. But...” she then looked at the pegasus filly, “I don’t want you to go, Timid-chan.” “So… Kota and Ai aren’t sure yet, and if Dawn stays here, so does Quirky…” Posey began, “...That would mean I go back by myself.” “...You don’t have to go back, Itoko-chan,” Fluttershy spoke up. “Eh?” “You can stay.” “...I don’t know…” Posey sighed, “I need to think…” “...I understand… take all the time you need, Itoko,” Fluttershy nodded.
