Sequel to your the apple in my eyes. AppleJack and Spike have kids that could be the difference between life and death.
After many months of pain and clinginess Apple Jack and Spike finally have kids. A beatiful daughter and a handsome son. But when Celestia finds out could it be the end for them? And possibly Equestria?
" Spike!!" Apple Jack screamed from her room. She could feel that her water had broken and the kid was coming." Spike!!" She cried again frowning more and more anxious.
" Spike!!!" She screamed again feeling darkness close around her." Spike!! It's the- the kids!!" She screamed. Growing more and more anxious Apple Jack did the only thing that she could, she leaped out of her bed and began to walk to her door, she could feel the cold and darkness around her.
" Spike!" She screamed some more. Breathless and gasping for the door she feel her shoulder being shook, soon she felt the feeling in her whole body.
" Apple Jack?" Came a light murmur." Apple Jack?!" The voice was louder.
" Apple Jack!!" It screamed, fully awake now and AppleJack could feel Spikes claws grasping her shoulder." Are you ok you where screaming my name in you sleep?" Spike looked the mare in the eyes and she sighed.
" It was the kids." She said at last.
" Are you still worried about the gender or... Race? Applejack it's going-"
" It's not that I'm worried about I'm worried that one day you will get up and leave. Leave me and the kids." Applejack could feel the tears starting so she turned away.
" Apple." Spike cupped her chin and pulled her face to his." I would never leave or the kids especially since your due date is any day now." Spike kissed her softly and AJ smiled.
" Thanks Spike." AppleJack pulled the covers to the bed back over her and closed her eyes.
" Your welcome AppleJack." Spike pulled his covers back over and closed his eyes too within minutes the couple was fast asleep. ~~~~~~~~~ ( time skip three days.)
"Spike!" AppleJack called just like in her dream almost 3 days ago only this time skip barge through the door.
" What is it?" He cried. Ever since the dream he had been on edge about the whole kids thing.
" It's time."
" What?"
" The kids!" Applejack screamed having a contraction.
" Ok take a deep breath ill send a letter to Twilight and the hospital." Spike eyes widen and he set down stairs running as fast as he could." Dead twilight it's the kids come quick." He scribbled on a piece of scrap paper and sent it. With in second he got a reply.
" On my way." It read in scribbled hand writing." We need a ambulance at Sweet Apple Acres my wife is in labor." He scrawled on another piece of paper.
" Ahhhhhhhhh!" Came a scream from upstairs.
" I'm never going to make it." He bit his lip and sweat came from his forehead, quickly sending a letter he heard a knock at the door.
Rushing over to it he flung it open and there stood Twilight along with the rest of the mane six.
" She is upstairs." Spike pointed up the stairs and the group raced up there, Spike followed trailing behind. What he saw was madness AppleJacj was screaming and breathing deeply while the group tried to calm her down.
" Spike spike spike spike spike.." She muttered under her breath trying very hard to concentrate on the fact that Spike was here and not anywhere else.
" Rainbow check outside to see if the ambulance is here." Twilight commanded holding the orange mare's hoof. Rainbow nodded and quickly flew out the window by the bed." Apple Jack it's ok just breath it will be here in a minute breath." Twilight soothed her while Spike watched from the side standing by Pinkie who clearly didn't know what to do.
" Do you think she'll be ok?" Asked spike. Twlight nodded her head and that's when rainbow entered with a scout report.
" There on there way about a mile down the road should be here in a few minutes." Rainbow dash stood tall trying to keep a straight face but you could tell she was worried.
" Oh you will be ok darling." Rarity said levitating a damp cloth to her head. Where she got the cloth I have no idea. Applejack merely smiled and laid her head back breathing deeply. There was loud knock on the door and Spike raced to get there along with Rarity and Rainbow Dash.
" Upstairs!!!" He cried pulling the door open for the second time. there was nurse standing in the door way and when she heard her orders she ran unstairs to help AppleJack. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( time skip to the hospbital after the labor.)
AppleJack sat on a bed holding one of her children. it was a handsome baby earth colt with light brown hair and a golden color coat with a shade of orange in it. he had bright green eyes like his fathers and sharp teeth. He occasionally burped causing bright greenish flames to come out of his mouth.
Spike sat beside her holding there beatiful baby filly who had soft yellow hair with a green streak in it, her coat was orange with a shade of green but she had reddish eyes and when she burp golden sparks came out, although her brother had sharp teeth she had dragon wings that where a shade darker than her coat.
"What are there names?" asked Twilight who had been standing by the side of AJ's bed.
" I gave Spike the job of naming the girl im naming the boy...." AppleJack hummed softly as she looked down at the boy." I've always wanted to name something after my father so his name is AppleLue." Apple Jack smiled looking down at the young colt.
" And spike?" Twilight turned to the dragon.
" Her name is GoldenApple but I'm calling her Lu." Spike smiled down at the filly.
" Hay you want to be careful with the wings baby...er.... Pegasi have a tendency to have random flight out burst." Rainbow dash said hovering above the ground. She stood at Spike's right with Fluttershy at the left.
" Yes they can be very hyper at a young age." Fluttershy mumbled from the side. Rainbow merely nodded.
" I think they are beautiful!" Cried Rarity. That's when AppleLue later nicknamed Jack opened his eyes and stared intensely at Rarity." What is he doing?" She asked pointing a hoof at Lue.
" hmm oh! Dragon senses he can smell the gems off of you he must be hungry." Spike said.
" What about her?"
" Lu doesn't have my teeth she has my wings so she isn't as complied to gems like her younger brother."
" Anything else."
" I think they both breathe fire, she is gold her he is green like me, other than that Lu has wings like a dragon and Lue had my teeth."
" Ok." Rarity gulped thinking about all of her priceless gems.
" Oh don't worry rarity baby dragons only can smell gems they don't eat until they are around 2 or the very lest 4." Spike said.
AppleJack looked over at the dragon." Speaking of gems can Golden eat them?" She asked.
" Possibly she doesn't have as sharp teeth as her brother but if we ground it up she could possibly eat it." Spike shrugged and looked down at the Filly's teeth.
Darkness was all I saw from the time I was in my mom to the time when I was first born. She had told me that I was the most aggressive one and would kick her a lot, when I had learned how to speak the very first thing I said to my mother was 'sorry'. My brother was a quiet calmer one but was just as adventurous as me. We would both get into trouble at lots of times but it was worth it for the thrill.
By year 1 I could speak a few words but the one that I would say often was mem. I couldn't pronounce my G's correctly so it came out mem. The 'mem' was a beatiful sapphire that my brother had given to me when our dad took us gem hunting. While we were walking down to his sight Jack, an by Jack I mean AppleLue that's his nickname, raced to another spot of land. When me and my dad arrived he had a sapphire grasped tightly in his jaws. I walked slowly up to him and he spat te sapphire in my had." U Sis." He had said.
I smiled and giggled then hugged him." Tank u." I remember saying. Our father smiled proudly and we set off again for the sight. My dad was correct I might add I was not as concerned with gems like my brother he could smell a ruby a mile away, I'm guessing that's why he loved rarity so much he must of smelled the emerald coming from her.
Now I could smell gems but not as persist as my younger bro. Once when we went gem hunting I found a small pile of rubies and an emerald but when I looked over at my brother's he had a mountain of gems ranging from diamonds to amethysts. He of course gave me some but that sapphire was the gem I would always cherish.
Oh! Did I mention I could eat gems. My brother had the eating habits of a dragon so his main diet was gems I could eat them but on if they where ground up. My teeth where sharp but not sharp enough to get through solid crystal. My favourites are rubies they taste like a mixture of sweetness and sorrow with a pang of anger, mostly like the music I listen to. My brother preferred sapphires like our father he had told me that they tasted like crystal water with added flavor, I tried one and to me it tasted like sour milk.
So my brother had the teeth what did I have? The wings that got me places for sure. At a young age a pegasus by the name of Rainbow Dash had taught me how to fly. She had said that even though I had dragon wings I could fly just as good as a pegasus but I wasn't very nimble. Dragons tend to fly in a very... Er... Prompt manner and they didn't turn as easily as most things with wings.
So I wasn't agile but I could fly fast almost as fast as Rainbow when she needed to preform a sonic rainboom. Rainbow saw this and took me to a flying competition up in the clouds. I was thrilled to watch the pegasi race against one another or a clock, the wind I felt when they rushed pass was both electrifying and terrifying. When Rainbow told me it was time to leave I have or a big puppy dog frown." I won't a autograph!" I cried. Being age six at that time I needed this.
Rainbow sighed." The line is to long kid." She said.
" I could clear it."
" How?"
" Look at me I'm not normal..." I gestured to myself and let out a small burp to remain the pegasus that I was half dragon.
" But if the fans run away what about the flyers?"
" I have wings I could catch them."
Rainbow sighed heavily in defeat." Ok kid." She ruffled my blond hair which was in a pony tale and took me down to the stand where autographs were being sighed.
I smirked and Rainbow nodded in approval. Letting a loud burp escape my throat I sent a mountain of golden sparks everywhere. Ponies Ooed and Ahed while brushed pass them up to one of the greatest flyers I had ever seen next to Rainbow." Rainbow what are you doing here on your day off?" Asked a yellow pegasus with a wild orange mane.
" Showing my friend's kid around." She replied. I think she took note of my wings but didn't comment.
" Hello I'm Spitfire from the looks of it you look like that Spike fellow kid." She leaned back in her chair and smirked at me.
" Hello." I held out a hoof and she shook it like I was a regular pony.
" You got guts back there to pull of a stunt like that."
I blushed in embarrassment as she indicated the area were I blew sparks out of my month, I looked back and saw someponies still in awe." Thanks I was wondering... Can I have an autograph?" I asked unsure.
Spitfire nodded her head causing her spiky hair to bounce up and down." Sure kid let me get the crew you can have a special group photo sighed." The mare smiled and I smiled back.
" Oi! gang little kid here wanting an autograph from the group." She cried cupping a hoof over her mouth.
" What?" " Huh?" " She paying?" Was the responses that Spitfire got. That soon changed when they looked at me staring wided- eyed at my wings and the sharp teeth and my hair.
" Wow?!" Gasped one in awe." She's a she's a... Dragon." She whispered.
I nodded my head by now I was use to this." Can have pic with you guys and autograph?" I flashed a innocent smile making hearts melt at my cuteness.
A pegasus by the name of Soarin nodded his head." Rainbow your kid is amazing!" He cried.
Rainbow's ears redden and she looked at Soarin with a look of anger." We've been through this! She. Isn't. My. Kid!" Rainbow growled and Soarin backed off a little. After gathering around a camra Rainbow took the picture and everyone signed it even Rainbow.
I'm the quiet one that does the work but somehow my older sister by like 2 minutes, always ropes me into doing some crazy thing like flying off the roof or going into the scary Everfree. I'll admit I'm not the best of children but at lest I'm not as crazy as my sister, maybe it's the pegasus that runs through her but she's ruff. I on the other hand had the teeth which mean I could chomp through any solid surface imaginable. Golden had sharp teeth but I could break through steel in one bight.
When I was about one my mother took my to see a rodey while my dad played with my sister. Here's how it worked since the beginning I loved my mother more than my father. Yes I'm a mamas boy but I don't care because I could break the people that bully me about it. My sister loved my father to pieces and he spent a lot of time with us but he loved her a little bit more. I was fine with that because my mother was way better.
Ok back to the rodey, it was a bright day and I didn't feel like being out in the sun but my mother insisted that we went to this thing. After getting our set she sat down and plopped me onto her lap. A burp escaped my lips when I hit my mothers legs and green sparks shot out of my month. Every pony turned their heads to look at me, the freak of nature." Is that a dragon?" A some teen pony asked.
My mother fury her brow until she finally spoke." Yes."
" Omg! Shouldn't you have leash on that thing or something?" She asked in a really snobby tone. All of her friends beside her snickered.
" He's my son."
" Oh that explains it." I myself couldn't take it any more either. Even though I as like 1 1/2 at the time I packed a punch when I burped, so while the lady's friends where snickering and chuckling I took a deep breath and exhaled cause bright green sparks to fly out of my month. The mare screamed as he hair caught fire. She tried to get rid of it but it stuck around until a unicorn splashed Coca Cola in her face and hair.
" Why you." She turned to me and walked up to my mom." You are a disgrace how dare you do that to my hair! You and your freak show-" before she could finish my mother punched her square in the jaw and got up from her seat leading me away from the mess.
" Mommy punch mean pony?" I asked.
" Yes sweets you want some ice cream?"
" Yes!" I sqeauled with delight. I never forgot that day because my mother loved telling to over and over again. After that I found new found respect for my mother that stayed there even today.
By the time I turned 3 my father brought me home a sapphire and told me to put it in my mouth. I didn't disobey but I was curious, could this have something to do with my teeth? I carefully put the glowing gem in my mouth and bit, I was caught off guard by how easily I could chew it and I began to cough and stop sending shards of sapphire every where." Son are you ok?" My father asked, I have a slight nod and picked up the rest of the sapphire and bit into it. Sweet.
I was only a newborn when I found a love for gems, my aunt rarity came in and I could smell the emerald off of her. After that I grew accustom to gems and everytime my dad went hunting I went with him and my sister came along sometimes. When we arrived one day I smelled a strong scent coming from the northeast and I began to chase it to a spot of lose dirt in the ground.
I dug it up using as much force as I could until I hit a glowing blue gem. Sapphire from what it looked like. My sister and father finally caught up to me and I handed the gem to my sister. She took it in delight and my father stood there smiling. ---------------------
God it was like yesterday to me but in reality it was years ago when me and my sister where both 6. My sister had a crazy idea and I went along with it sense I was the only one that could control her, just a little bit though. We climbed to the top of the barn beside our house and sat there looking out into the sky. My sister flew up into a cloud and landed on it." Baby bro you need to see this!" She said.
My face felt hot with fury." Your older than me by 2 minutes!" I cried but gave up as she picked me up onto her back and flew me up into the cloud. She landed softly and we peered out into the horizon watching the sun sink lower and lower into the hills. It was beautiful and I couldn't help but to gasp at the sight my sister just sat the thinking about something. Who knew what it was, was no one. Nobody could begin to comprehend my sisters mind, not even our father.
She was a rare dead bolted book that couldn't be opened unless you had a jackhammer for a key. Only one pony had ever made her open up and that was her very first crush but she'll tell you about that later.( damn right I will- Golden.) oh and I forgot to mention she's prone to cussing acting like an ass sometimes. ( ow the hell was that for?- Lue)
Hi Lue here and I'm stupid.- G
Ok now you- L
I'm also a stupid fat idiot.- G
Shut the fuck up come on I need to finish this!- L
Fine.-G ----------------
I was never very keen on flying but my sister lived for it and one time she thought taking me for a little joy ride would change my mind. Not at all. On that roof she lifted herself up, and I thought we where headed back down so I hung there loosely with my eyes closed. I felt cold air rush past as I thought we where going down. After a few seconds I opened my eyes to see what was taking so long, only to see that she has her wings spread and was flapping them, above the ground.
We soared over our farm where Golden was aloud to fly, and after a few minutes she landed outside of the house with nothing on her face. She was holding a blank, vacant stare as she walked inside the house with me. Looking at her I could tell she was thinking. But about what.
God damn school sucked I hated it from the beginning and when kindergarten started and me and my brother walked into the bright red building for registration I knew something was up. I only put up with it for one reason and only that one reason, I'll tell you it later. My dad took a hoof and led me up to the schoolhouse( my mother took my brothers hand.) that's where I saw him. My crush the one pony I'll only ever love and that was true. His name was Blur Light, he was a dark navy blue pegasus, with yellow hair and a streak of neon yellow running through it.
That was it. I knew school was going to be boring, dull, and predictable. And since I wasn't the most normal of ponies it was going to be harder for me seeing how my brother could keep his month close and not burp and he's fine. I on the other hoof have to deal with ponies glaring at my wings and gasping at the sparks that fly out if my mouth when I burp, which is constantly.
When school did start, or hell as I like to call it. I was instendly was taken aback that my crush was sitting right next to me and he would, for the rest of the year. Playing it cool I walk up to him and said hi.
" Hello." He looked up at me and smiled.
I looked at him and took in some of his features. His eyes where hurt with pain and his hind legs and hooves where cover in scratch marks. So was his cheek and part if his left ear was ripped off. I looked at him with a pitiful look and snooped through my school bag looking for something my auntie Twilight had given me. It was a little bottle of pearl white luqid and even though it was small it had healing properties thy could equal phoniex tears. Dabbing the luqid on a rag cloth I hadi reached down to his legs and wiped them with the stuff.
He didnt take notice until I reached up to his cheek." What are you doing!" He cried.
I stared at him blank face." Look at your legs." I indicated to the strongly built legs and he looked down at them gaping at the sight of perfectly healed legs.
" How- how...?" He sputtered.
" It's this." I held up the bottle." It has healing properties of a phoniex's tears. And I'm not normal." I pulled at my semi-sharp teeth, opened my wings, and stuffed the bottle in my bag finally taking a seat beside him.
He just stared at me trying very hard to not "complement" my unique features. It went on like this for a few years up until 3rd grade when we finally became real friends. ----------------
It all happened when I got a hairpin from my father, going to school te next day I showed off my hairpin to every pony. Even though it was only a blue clip with a green and red gem craved into it ponies still loved it.
This went on for a few days until a gang of about 4 ponies ganged up on me and chased me around the very small playground screaming at me for my hairpin. They finally chased me into the soccer field where one of them tackled me to the ground and pinned me down, holding my hooves hostage they beat me trying to take the hairpin out of my hair. I squirmed and squeaked calling out for help, I breathed my flames on them but It didnt take much effect. The last thing I could do was lay there and wait for it to be over." Stop it!" Someone cried.
Thinking it was in my head I closed my eyes waiting for more punches, more kicks, more hurt. But it didnt come instead the weights lifted from my wrist and light flooded my closed eyelids. I slowly opened them and looked at the sight of Blur Light standing over me." Are you ok?" He asked. I blushed softly and he helped my up. My left wrist felt wrong and I was covered in scrapes and bruises, the worst one being a gaint gash on my left hind leg. " Do you need the nurse?" he asked helping me steady myself.
I nodded my head no." I have the luqid remember.?"
" Will you need help applying it?"
I blushed harder and nodded my head, I stammered to the school house with him helping me, holding a hoof around my neck incase I fell." Thank you." I said resting my head against his neck.
" No prob we're friends right?" At this I smiled at the thought of being friends with the one pony I loved.
" Course!" I cried lifting my head only to be greeted with a wincing pain in my neck." Ow!" I cried. Blur Light looked at me and smiled.
" You ok?"
" Yes just a little bump." He nodded and we headed up the stairs inside the school house. He went through my bookbag searching for the bottle and found it. Using an old napkin he dabbed the luqid ontoy cuts and it immediately felt better.
" Did they do anything to your wings?" He asked.
I scoffed." I doubt that, dragon wings are really strong it would take a dragon's teeth or claws to even rip the wing. Since teeth and claws are like steel times 100 the least those idiots could do to my wings is punch them." I sighed thinking of my wings. A burden or a curse but they had there purposes.
" That's neat, I only have these limply pegasus wings but ok." I managed a chuckle through the pain and smiled looking at him.
" Friends?" I asked extending a hoof.
He took it into his and shook it." Friends." ------------
So much had changed after that I had someone to speak to, to talk about stuff I only think in my head, to tell him my mind is a dead bolted door that only a jackhammer could open. I could finally sit with some pony at lunch, I wasn't alone and he wasnt going to leave me anytime soon. Nothing changed a lot that is. His hair grew longer in 4th grade which made I'm look even more cute and more and more fillies started to notice him. Course I was jealous! He was mine did they pay attention to him on kindergarten? No.
I never showed it and I never needed to. He always through away love letters and rejected any complement unless it was from me. Like when I told him the new hat he got was amazing. If any other pony said that he would have ignored it. I felt bursting into joy when I found out he had a crush on me and I never said anything until around the middle of sixth grade when we where talking about love.
" Is it true you like me?" I asked taking a bite into my apple then sprinkling ruby powder into my mouth.
" Maybe in 4th and 5th grade yeah but now I like someone else." My heart shattered at the words and tears formed in my eyes making them look as glossy as a china doll's.
" Ok." I poured the rest of the powder I my mouth, stood up and walked away to the ladies bathroom where I could think. Walking into the tiled room I looked around and picked on empty stall on the end of the row of the five stalls. I pushed open the gray door and sat on the toilet holding my arms I softly cried into them, not making any sound or doing anything just crying. I wanted to go home and talk to my mom about guy troubles and how she would understand, for once my father couldn't help me. I needed my mom.
Hearing hoof steps I stop crying and stare at the door listening to the voice." Golden you in here Blur wants you!" Somepony said. Probably one of his fans. I didn't say anything, I didn't move I didn't speak, I sat there completely still not doing anything. The voice sighed and the hoof steps faded away, as I went back to crying softly. Checking my watch a few minutes later I realize they would dismiss us in a minute so I gathered my self up and with ever ounce of courage that I had I step outside the bathroom and walked to my next class witout bumping into Blur. ------------
That lunch wasn't so great it was probably a sucky lunch but he made it up to me in the middle of 7th grade when he asked if I wanted to get icecream. I replied with an excited yes and he room me to get icecream after school." Remeber the linch we had a year ago?" He asked. I felt a jab in my heart but I nodded. " Well... I wanted to make up for it but I didn't know how and since you ignored me for a few months an we never became friends again until the summer it had slipped my mind. So I'm making up for it and I hope you can forgive me." He opened the door for the icecream palor for me and I slipped in.
I honestly don't remember what I got but involved a lot of strawberry and cotton candy, with a massive amount of fudge syrup and fifteen cherries and Oreos to top it off. He got a two scoop chocolate with a cherry and compared to mine it was pathetic." Thank you." I kissed him on the cheek turning him bright red.
" Nothing to it." He said taking his icecream outside where we sat at a table licking our cream. I felt like I was five years old licking my icecream and making a mess of myself while others looked at me in disguise.
" You have something on your face." He roomed me while I licked some cotton candy icecream. Raising a hoof to my face I felt sticky gooey stuff come in contact with it.
" I guess-" I was cut off as he pressed his lips to mine and licked the icecream off my lips. I sat there staring wided eyed at him trying so hard to smile or do something's. Feeling exploded out if me and I scooted closer to him until I could rest my face into his neck.
