Because Of You
Spitfire was sitting in the kitchen of her home, eating a bowl of cereal, just staring off into space, thinking.
'Okay I know that I have to tell him...I just have to find the right time TO tell him.' Thought Spitfire.
"*sigh* It's always a lot more simple in my head." She was quiet for a while as she tried to think of a plan. "I got it, I'll take him out to eat and then tell him there." She said out loud to herself.
Spitfire finished her breakfast as fast as she could, ran upstairs and showered, got dressed, and then rushed back downstairs to look for a good place to go for dinner.
"Hmmmm, now where do we go?" She was searching for places on her phone when she an idea came to her head. "*Gasp* Oh I know the perfect place to take him!"
She was just about to run out the door when, " *Urp* Okay...let's not throw-up first." she ran upstairs to the bathroom just in case, but came back down no more than 2 minutes after calming down.
"Okay now I can get my stuff ready for tonight.
~~~~
"Okay, Soarin's favorite beer. Check. Soarin's favorite coffee blend. Check. Funny Father's Day card. Check. Realizing half-way through getting this stuff that I won't be able to drink any of it, completely devastating. And I really like my morning coffee too." Spitfire mumbled out the last part. "Oh well, doesn't matter, what does matter is that I get Soarin to the restaurant which issssssss, not for another 4 hours."
"I may as well go and see him now, not really much else to do now.
Spitfire started walking towards Soarin's apartment, it was a nice place, not to small, but not really big either, but then again whenever she went over to his place it was nice to just sit with him on the couch and watch some T.V. so she never cared for the size of said apartment.
Before she knew it Spitfire was at Soarin's home, she knocked on the door because she knew that he was going to be home all day anyway, he always stays in on holidays.
"Hold on I'm coming, I'm coming." Said a stallion behind the door. She could hear hoofsteps getting closer to the door until is opened.
"Can I-Spitfire! What are you doing here? Uh, not that I'm not glad to see you, what's up babe?"
Spitfire giggled and shook her head a bit. "Your such a dork," She hugged him and gave him a quick kiss. "but you're my dork."
Soarin chuckled and kissed her again. "Yeah, I know. So, What'chu doin' here? I thought you would be home or something."
Still in each other's embrace, Spitfire moved her head back a bit. "Well, I know you're not a father," 'yet' "but I thought that maybe we could go out to eat, you know, just to the two of us?"
"That sounds great, what time?"
"Well I was thinking that we could go to Good Eats."
Soarin looked at Spitfire with a smirk.
"What? WHAT?! Oh I see, well I like it there, and you've been there once so you can't say anything."
"Yeah, yeah, well they could have at least gave it a better name." He said with a chuckle.
"I could care less what it was called, their food is good."
"Okay babe don't get worked up, we'll go there, besides, I haven't had their pie in forrrrevvveeerrr."
Now Spitfire was trying hard to not laugh. "Soarin?"
"Yes?"
"You had a pie two days ago, remember?"
Soarin just looked at Spitfire before trying to play it off as a joke. "Ohhh, yeah, hehe I knew that."
Spitfire said nothing but simply giggled at him until she remembered the items she brought with her.
"Oh right, here you go, I got you some things."
"Oh you didn't have to do that, buuuuuut, what'd you bring me!" He said excitedly.
"I got you your favorite beer and coffee, plus a funny card."
"But I ain't a father yet."
'Ohhhhh, not yet you aren't' Thought Spitfire.
"Hahaha, that's actually really funny." The light blue Pegasus chuckled out.
"Glad you liked it, now how 'bout we relax before we go out to dinner, hmm?"
"Sure thing, Fire. Come on, we can chill on my couch and watch some shows."
"I was thinking the same thing." Spitfire said as she booped him in the nose with her finger.

It was now four-thirty in the afternoon when they left Soarin's place to head to the restaurant, so they decided to just walk there since they had plenty of time to get there.
"It's nice out today." Said Soarin.
"Yeah it is." Responded Spitfire, who then put her head against Soarin's arm and wrapped her arms around his with a smile on her face.
Soarin looked to his side and smiled too, when he heard his marefriend let out a happy sigh.
About 15 minutes later they arrived at the restaurant and walked inside and up to the seater.
"Oh, hello, just the two of you tonight?"
Both Spitfire and Soarin nodded and were then promptly led to their table and given menus.
"I hope you enjoy your dinner."
"Thank you, we will." Said Spitfire as the mare who seated them turned to walk away.
"Well, why don't we order an appetizer for now and we can decide what we want later?"
"Yeah, sure, that's fine, I kind of wanted to try out those little rolls they had." Half mumbled to herself and Soarin as she looked at the menu.
"Alright, sounds good."
When their waitress showed up they ordered their drinks and their appetizer, though when spitfire ordered an iced tea and not a beer like she usually does when they go out to eat for a special day, he got a little curious but he said nothing.
When they finally ordered their meal after finishing their little snack, Spitfire was about to tell give him his 'surprise', when a fan walked up to the table they were at and distracted him by asking for his autograph.
When they their food came she couldn't tell him since he was more focused on eating then listening, so telling him then was pretty much out of the question.
then when Dessert rolled around and Soarin had his pie and Spitfire her little piece of today's special cake, she was about to tell him, but of course, once again, food was more important, so she couldn't tell him then either.
Spitfire was running out of day and inadvertently patience with her coltfriend, but after he finished she finally had time to tell him.
With a deep breath and a sigh she finally got his attention. "*Ahem* Hey, Soarin?"
"Yes, babe?"
She was getting just a little bit nervous, even though she knew she didn't have to. "I, kinda' have to tell you something."
Soarin leaning in closer to hear her. "What is it, you can tell me."
With his last comment she finally mustered up the courage to tell him. "I'm pregnant."
Soarin looked like his mind had just blew up. "You're pregnant." he repeated back to her.
"Yes...I check yesterday, and, I am pregnant."
She waited for his reaction, seeing as he hadn't really said anything or moved from the same spot since she told him.
"You're pregnant."
Spitfire nodded her head again.
"I'm going to be a father?" He said more to himself.
Once again Spitfire just nodded and said. "Yup."
"I'm going to be a father." Soarin said a bit louder. "I'm going to be a father!" This time he said it much louder. "I'm going to be a father!" At this point the other patrons in the restaurant were looking at their table after hearing him shout.
"I'm going to be a father!" He said again standing up and pulling spitfire out of her seat and into his embrace. "And you're going to be a mother.
This time Spitfire nodded her head but with tears in her eyes. "Yup." She said with a bit of shakiness to it. She was lightly crying from seeing how happy her coltfriend was about the news. Well, not just her coltfriend because the rest of the side of the restaurant that they were sitting in had started clapping as Soarin kept on saying, "I'm going to be a father." as loud as he could.
After a few more times Soarin looked back at Spitfire with a great big smile on his face. "And it's all because," He looked her dead in her teary eyes. "because of you." With that he pulled her into a big kiss which made the other ponies around them start cheering and clapping louder and harder for them.
Both Soarin and Spitfire couldn't be happier in this very moment, since they know in just a few months time, they'd be parents to their own foal.
