It's been nine months since the wedding in Canterlot and the changeling race was defeated and all is well. Until Queen Chrysalis returns with very surprising news.

She is nine months pregnant!

But why does she come back just because of that? Because she says one of the ponies she touched/was touched by during the wedding is the one who got her pregnant.

Changelings don't reproduce the way ponies or any other creature does. So even two females can have a baby together. So who is the daddy/other mother? Is it Shining Armor? She did have lots of contact with him. Cadance? She was the one Chrysalis captured. Twilight? Technically they did share a small amount of contact. Or... could it honestly be Princess Celestia?!

One of these four is the other parent to this unborn changeling/pony hybrid. And now they won't know who until after the foal is born. But each one is conflicted about what they will do if it is theirs.

And each one puts a little effort into trying to be nice with their possible-baby's-momma. And they get to know the Queen of changelings a little more. And there's a lot more than they thought there was...

For as long as any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders can remember, Diamond Tiara had always been the biggest bully they knew. But when that said bully dies in an accident, each of them starts to go through their own emotional experience from this sudden change in their lives. Each will learn more about themselves and about the pony who they all thought they knew before she is laid to rest.

***Takes place just after season 3 but before season 4. This story is completed.***

Now with TV Tropes page

This story is a sequel to Help Me...

Fluttershy is in the mental hospital for some actions that accured the day before.

Pinkie longs to meet Mosh Whiplash, the only pony who parties harder than she does. Unfortunately, he prefers ponies of the plumper persuasion, and unless she can overcome her own metabolism, she won't even get to see him again. Can she put on the necessary weight before he leaves town?

Yeah, this is one of my weirder stories. I did on request from a forum buddy of mine, and figured I'd use the opportunity to experiment with the style and with writing a type of story I don't usually do. It could probably stand to go through a couple more revisions, but I don't think it's too bad in it's current form.

There's nothing blatantly sexual in here, but the whole "getting fat to impress somepony" thing is bound to weird some people out, so I'm bumping the rating up to teen just to be on the safe side.

Also, the song Mosh is singing is Andrew WK's "Party Hard". Given that Andrew WK is basically Pinkie Pie in human form (seriously, look at his twitter) it seemed fitting.

Twilight is visiting her parents' house, her childhood home, after the Summer Sun celebration. Feeling a bit nostalgic, she realizes that she still has a bit of Zecora's flashback potion left over. Surely it couldn't hurt to relive a bit of her childhood...

Twilight and the other Elements of Harmony have saved the land of Equestria from Nightmare Moon, Discord, and the Changeling army, but now they face perhaps their biggest challenge yet. A challenge that lurks behind smiling faces and friendly eyes. A challenge that threatens to overtake the entirety of Equestria and enslave its inhabitants. But the ponies won’t face this threat alone. Help comes in the form of the most unlikely of companions: four teenagers, a hawk, and a blue centaur.
