Rainbow didn't want to wake up. She felt wrung-out, and she was comforted by the familiar sensation of Fluttershy's soft, warm body pressed against her own, so she kept her eyes closed and tightened her grip around her girlfriend, refusing to get up.

However, Rainbow knew that she had work, and that she was probably already quite late. Her eyes opened slightly and she glanced at the clock. It was eleven twenty-eight. Rainbow lightly groaned as she scrunched her eyes closed again. She didn't remember the last time she'd slept in this much. She knew it was because she was up really late last night, but why-?

Then Rainbow suddenly remembered and her eyes immediately shot wide open. She looked down at Fluttershy and saw that her peacefully sleeping lover still had the stains of many dried tears streaked down her cheeks.

Oh, yeah, Rainbow thought bitterly. It's 'cause some piece of shit raped her last night. Rainbow's anger was reawakened, but not as fiery as before; though her desire to maim and break Fluttershy's rapist was as powerful as when she'd first heard about it, her rage was no longer wild and chaotic; it was now cold, piercing, and calculating. Her mind was no longer rapidly spinning a thousand different ways to beat or stab or burn him to death; now, her thoughts were turned to practical strategizing. With icy mercilessness, Rainbow subtly contemplated how she would find him, cause him as much pain as physically possible, end his worthless life, then dispose of his body and hide all other evidence of his murder at her hooves.

Nonetheless, Rainbow's homicidal wrath stemmed from her immeasurable affection for Fluttershy, and she realized that exacting vengeance upon the monster who had harmed her wouldn't help her now. Fluttershy needed her, and so Rainbow remained at her side. Rainbow gazed at Fluttershy's sweet, innocent face for several minutes, thanking her lucky stars that Fluttershy was mercifully granted some peace, if only for a few moments.

Rainbow gently nuzzled Fluttershy's cheek, and felt a blush creeping into her cheeks. Fluttershy's alluring scent and touch sent a shiver down Rainbow's body as her eyes drank in Fluttershy's slender, delicate figure-

However, a thrill of panic suddenly coursed through Rainbow, causing her to push away from Fluttershy and tear her eyes away from her body. Rainbow's disgust in herself nearly made her vomit; she had just stared lustfully at Fluttershy, much in the same way her rapist must have. That she was sexualizing her friend who had been sexually victimized only hours ago filled Rainbow with self-loathing and shame far more potent than that she usually felt.

However, Rainbow's movements awoke Fluttershy, whose eyes fluttered open before she softly smiled at Rainbow. "Good morning, Dashie," she said quietly.

Rainbow gave Fluttershy a weak smile in return. "Mornin', Flutters."

Fluttershy's smile faded as she gazed concernedly at Rainbow. "Dashie, are you alright...?" she asked.

Rainbow swallowed and nodded. "Y-yeah," she said. "I'm just worried about you, that's all."

Fluttershy closed her eyes and softly smiled again as she replied, "Don't worry, Dashie; I'll be alright."

Rainbow nodded and smiled back, though she was still clearly anxious. However, she sat up and asked, "So, uh... would you like me to make you some breakfast, Flutters?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Wh-what? But, Rainbow, you have work, don't you?"

Rainbow gazed astonishedly at Fluttershy, dumbfounded at how selfless she was, even now, in the aftermath of one of the darkest moments of her life.

Rainbow softly smiled and closed her eyes, leaning forward so that her forehead met Fluttershy's. "No, Fluttershy. I'm staying with you for as long as you need me."

Tears welled in Fluttershy's eyes as a smile of unspeakable gratitude spread over her lips. She wrapped her forelegs around Rainbow's neck and gave her a long, passionate kiss.

When Fluttershy pulled back, joyful tears were glistening down her cheeks. "You're so amazing, Dashie...." she whispered.

Rainbow looked away. "Nah, it's the least I could do...."

"You are, Rainbow," Fluttershy insisted. "You're so much more amazing than you realize." Here she gave Rainbow a adoring, tearful smile. "I love you."

Fluttershy kissed Rainbow again, more briefly, then she said, "Once we've finished eating, would you like to take a bath with me?"

Rainbow's eyes widened. "R-really?" she asked. "Are you... uh... sure, Flutters...?"

Fluttershy's brow furrowed in puzzlement. "What do you mean?" she asked confusedly.

"I mean..." Rainbow said, frowning with anxiety, "I mean... um, are you sure you wanna... um, do something like... like that, even after, um... you know, what, uh... um, ha-... happened last night...?"

Fluttershy blinked, then she softly smiled. "I don't want to do anything," she said. "I was just wondering if you wanted to take a bath with me."

"Y-Yeah, but...." Rainbow began.

"I don't think I'm going to be triggered by it," Fluttershy said. "After all, he didn't take a bath with me. In fact, I think it would be comforting to have your company, Rainbow. So, do you want to?"

After a moment, Rainbow smiled and nodded. "Y-yeah," she said. "I'd love to."

Fluttershy beamed and gave Rainbow another small kiss. Rainbow then walked to Fluttershy's pantries, asking, "You want some oatmeal, Flutters?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes. Thank you, Dashie."

Rainbow got to work boiling two servings of oats over the stove as Fluttershy retrieved Angel, her white pet rabbit, from his small bed to hold and gently stroke him. Rainbow wished that she was a better cook; she would have liked to prepare crepes this morning, as they were Fluttershy's favorite breakfast, and Fluttershy absolutely deserved a treat after the nightmare that was last night. However, Rainbow wasn't skilled enough to properly make the delicate cakes, so she settled on preparing oats for them. Fortunately, oats with fresh fruit was another favorite breakfast of Fluttershy's, and so Rainbow was rewarded with an immensely grateful smile from Fluttershy when she finished preparing it.

Fluttershy topped her oats with apples and strawberries before eating them, and Rainbow poured some milk and cinnamon over her own. After Fluttershy had poured a little milk over her own bowl, as well, they ate.

Once they had finished their breakfast, Rainbow walked with Fluttershy into her bathroom. Fluttershy drew them a hot bath as Rainbow hung two fluffy pink towels over the towel rack, then they both climbed in.

As Rainbow and Fluttershy shampooed their coats and manes, Rainbow caught herself staring at Fluttershy's glistening, damp form. With another pang of guilt, Rainbow looked away and glared into the foaming water beneath her. She was just raped, for buck's sake, she angrily thought to herself. Cut it out, you bucking pervert. You're such a slut. First Scootaloo, and now this. Celestia, how'd a whore like me get a girlfriend as awesome as Fluttershy?

Rainbow sighed. Well, Fluttershy is my girlfriend. How long is it gonna be before I stop beating myself up for craving her?

Rainbow glanced again at Fluttershy, who was now holding a hairbrush between her hooves and combing it through her beautiful long hair. She was softly smiling, causing Rainbow's own expression to ease a little. Well, as long as she's okay, and as long as she's happy, I'll be alright. I guess I'll stop being such a tight-ass when she wants to have sex with me again.

After Fluttershy and Rainbow had rinsed themselves off, Fluttershy moved to Rainbow's side and snuggled against her, holding her and leaning her head on Rainbow's shoulder. Rainbow draped one of her forelegs around Fluttershy's shoulders and softly smiled; she felt unspeakably honored that Fluttershy depended on her for comfort at times like these.

After their bath, Rainbow and Fluttershy were significantly more relaxed then they had been before. They lounged on Fluttershy's sofa together and dozed, savoring the peace and tranquility they had for the moment.

At about ten o' clock, however, Rainbow sighed and sat up. Her movements roused Fluttershy, whose eyes opened as she concernedly asked, "What's wrong, Dashie?"

"Nothing's wrong," Rainbow replied. "I just wish we could snuggle all day. But we have things we have to do."

"Like what?"

"Well, I can't leave Scootaloo alone all day, for one. We should probably also try to find out what you should do to recover."

After a moment, Fluttershy nodded. "Yes. You're right, Dashie," she said.

Fluttershy stood, as well, then Rainbow said, "I think we should go to see Twilight; if anypony would know what to do, it's her."

Fluttershy nodded. "I agree," she said. "Let's go."

Rainbow and Fluttershy exited Fluttershy's cottage, then walked to the Golden Oak Library. The library was a great, hollowed-out oak tree across town that bore a beehive, several windows, and a red front door. Rainbow and Fluttershy quite liked the beautiful tree, and were frequent visitors to it and its occupants. One of the occupants, their friend Princess Twilight Sparkle, held a particularly special place in their hearts; the brilliant young Alicorn was the one responsible for bringing the two of them together last autumn.

When Fluttershy and Rainbow had stepped up to the front door and were facing the candle painted over it, Rainbow knocked on it. It was promptly answered by Spike, a small, purple baby dragon with green eyes and spines. He immediately grinned upon seeing them and said, "Hey, Dash! Hey, Fluttershy!"

"Hello, Spike," Fluttershy replied with a small smile.

From behind Spike, Fluttershy and Rainbow heard the voice of Twilight shout, "Hi, girls! I'll be with you in just a second..."

After a few moments, Twilight emerged from one of the rooms branching from the circular main floor of the library. She was wearing her usual friendly smile, but otherwise she didn't look at all like a Princess. She wasn't taller than an ordinary, mortal pony, and her violet, pink-streaked hair was straight, unostentatious, and still. Aside from her horn in combination with her large, violet wings and her Cutie Mark of several purple and white shining stars on her flank that was slightly more elaborate than it was when she was merely a Unicorn, it would be easy to mistake Twilight for not being an Alicorn at all.

"Hi, Twilight," Rainbow said, giving her a small smile in return.

"Did you girls need something?" asked Twilight.

"Yeah, but, um..." Rainbow said, glancing anxiously at Spike.

"Do you think we could speak to you alone, please, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight blinked, then nodded. "Of course," she said. She turned to Spike and said, "Spike, could you go walk outside for a while?"

Spike raised a brow, but nodded. "Sure. I'll be in the market," he said. He then exited the library, waving and calling back, "See ya later!"

"Bye, Spike!" Rainbow called back as Spike shut the door.

Once Spike had departed, Twilight turned back to her other friends and asked concernedly, "Is something wrong?"

"Oh, yeah," Rainbow replied. "Big time."

Twilight cautiously nodded. "Alright. What is it?" she asked, a tinge of anxiety in her voice.

"Fluttershy got raped last night," Rainbow replied.

Twilight's eyes widened and her jaw fell open. "W-wha-what?" she asked, stunned.

Fluttershy nodded. "Y-yes," she whisperingly stammered. "After I walked Winona back to Applejack's last night, a Stallion chased me into an alley and then... and then he raped me."

Twilight's expression was one of tremendous shock, horror, and disbelief. "Y-you... But..." she said, unable to articulate any other words.

Fluttershy and Rainbow were silent as they allowed their revelation to sink in. Twilight then said, "Are... Are you alright, Fluttershy?! Did he hurt you?!"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes, I'm okay, Twilight," she replied softly. "He hit my head, bit my ear, and bruised my arms, but I didn't get any serious injuries."

"Did you see a doctor?!" Twilight asked worriedly.

"Yes," Fluttershy replied.

"Have you told the Guard yet?!"

"No," Fluttershy said. "I don't know how to."

Twilight nodded. "Alright," she said. She immediately galloped to her supply closet, where she retrieved a parchment, a quill, and an inkwell. When she returned to Fluttershy, she said, "Here. Write down everything that happened, then I'll send it to the Guard."

"Will they send the piece of shit to prison?" Rainbow asked, her voice low and dangerous.

Twilight's eyebrows furrowed in anger as she shook her head. "Probably not," she said. "He could claim that he and Fluttershy just had rough, consensual sex, and then it'll be her word against his. Unless he confesses, there's no way to prove it wasn't. All they can do is monitor him."

So they won't throw him in prison? Rainbow thought to herself. Good. Then I'll be able to kill him myself.

Fluttershy took the parchment, quill, and ink, then said to Twilight and Rainbow, "Um... would you... would you mind leaving me alone to write this? I... I don't..."

"We understand," Twilight said. She and Rainbow walked into another room, allowing Fluttershy to pen her letter in privacy.

Once they were alone in another room, Rainbow asked angrily, "What's the point of writing a letter to the Guard if they can't do anything?"

"They can't convict him," Twilight replied. "However, they can keep a closer watch on him and arrest him immediately if he puts a hoof-tip out of line."

Rainbow scoffed. "Oh yeah," she muttered bitterly. "As if he isn't going to be careful to make sure he isn't caught from now on."

"He might not," Twilight replied. "Criminals don't tend to be very intelligent."

"And what if he is?" Rainbow asked. Her glare intensified as she asked, "What if he gets away with violating Fluttershy?"

"All we can do is wait and hope," Twilight replied. "Besides, the most important thing is making sure that Fluttershy is safe and recovering."

Rainbow sighed. "Yeah..." she muttered.

Twilight and Rainbow were silent as Fluttershy wrote the rest of her letter. When she was done, she gently knocked on the door Rainbow and Twilight stood behind. When they opened it, they saw that her eyes were puffy from crying again. "H-here," she said, holding the letter to Twilight between her teeth.

"Thank you, Fluttershy," Twilight said, levitating the letter away and embracing her. "You won't have to do that ever again."

Fluttershy whimpered and nodded, hugging Twilight back.

After about a minute, Fluttershy released Twilight. "So, what else should we do?" Rainbow asked.

"Well," Twilight said, "I think that it would probably be a good idea for Fluttershy to get counseling. I'll point you in the direction of a Dr. Rose Arch; I've heard very good things about her." She smiled.

Fluttershy nodded. "Thank you, Twilight," she said softly.

Twilight was silent for a moment, then asked, "Um... do you want to tell our friends, or would you prefer that they didn't know, or-"

"Could you tell them, Twilight?" Fluttershy asked. "I... I don't really like... um, talking about it..." she added.

Twilight nodded. "Alright. Just the other girls?"

"I think you should tell Spike, too," Fluttershy said. "We shouldn't shelter him from the harsh truths of the world."

Twilight nodded. "Alright. Well, goodbye, girls. I hope you'll be able to recover from this."

"Thanks," Fluttershy said, smiling gratefully.

After Rainbow and Fluttershy had exited the library, Rainbow said to Fluttershy, "Let's go get Scootaloo. I'm gonna stay with you for a while, and we should probably have her stay with us while I'm there."

Fluttershy nodded. "I agree," she said.

So Rainbow and Fluttershy walked to Sweet Apple Acres, where they located the Cutie Mark Crusaders' clubhouse. The clubhouse, which was a treehouse perched on one of the Apples' greater trees, was silent as Fluttershy and Rainbow approached it for a moment. Then suddenly, they heard the voice of Sweetie Belle pour out from one of the windows, shouting, "Horse apples! You got a full house?!"

They heard Scootaloo laugh before saying, "Yep! This sweet little kitty is mine!"

"But I had a straight!" Sweetie protested. "I shouldn't have lost..."

"Ah told you Scootaloo wasn't bluffin'!" they heard the voice of Apple Bloom interject.

Rainbow and Fluttershy stepped up the front ramp to the clubhouse's door, where Rainbow knocked. The door was promptly answered by Apple Bloom, who smiled upon seeing them. "Hi, Rainbow! Hi, Fluttershy!" she cried.

Rainbow smiled back at the yellow, redheaded little filly. "Hey, Bloom," Rainbow replied. "Can we talk to Scootaloo?"

"Sure!" Apple Bloom replied. "She just won all our bits, anyway..."

"Hey, Rainbow!" Scootaloo cried from behind Apple Bloom. Rainbow and Fluttershy looked up to see she was gathering about twenty-six bits into a small cloth pouch as Sweetie Belle glared at some cards scattered beneath them. 

"So, you're trying poker, huh?" Rainbow asked, stepping in.

"Yeah," said Scootaloo. "Didn't get my Cutie Mark in it, though..."

Sweetie sighed. "Well, there's two weeks' allowance flushed right down the drain..." she muttered.

"Can you come out with us, please, Scootaloo?" Fluttershy said. "We need to talk to you."

Scootaloo's smile faded. "Is something wrong?" she asked.

Rainbow shook her head. "You're not in trouble," she said.

Scootaloo was silent for a moment. "Alright," she said. She pulled her pouch closed and said, "See you guys later," to her friends before exiting with Rainbow and Fluttershy.

Once Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Scootaloo had descended back to the ground, Scootaloo asked, "So, what's up?"

"Let's go to my place," Rainbow said. "Climb onto my back, Scoots."

Scootaloo obeyed, then Rainbow flew up into the air bearing her on her back. Fluttershy took to the air immediately afterward, then she and Rainbow located Rainbow's floating house and descended until they landed on its dense cloud foundation.

After Scootaloo climbed off Rainbow's back, she said, "What's going on, you guys? What's wrong?"

"Well, uh..." Rainbow said, rubbing her head. "We're gonna be staying at Fluttershy's place for a while."

Scootaloo blinked. "W-why?" she asked.

"Because Fluttershy got raped last night," Rainbow replied.

Scootaloo gasped. "R-really?!" she cried fearfully. "Who did it?! Are you alright, Fluttershy?! You-!"

"I'm okay, Scootaloo," Fluttershy gently interrupted her.

After a few silent moments, Rainbow continued, "So, I'm gonna stay with Fluttershy for a while to make sure she's alright. And I can't leave you to live in my house alone, so we think you should come with us."

Scootaloo quietly nodded. "Al... alright," she said. She slowly walked up to Fluttershy and wrapped her forelegs around her neck, embracing her. "I'm so, so sorry, Fluttershy..." she whispered. Fluttershy felt her chest grow wet as Scootaloo's tears dampened her fur.

Fluttershy began weeping, as well as she smiled and stroked Scootaloo's mane. "Thank you, Scootaloo," she said gratefully.

They gathered up Rainbow and Scootaloo's belongings from Rainbow's house, then they brought them to Fluttershy's cottage. Once their effects were moved in, Fluttershy took Scootaloo to her guest bedroom. It was rather small, with a two-drawer dresser, a twin-sized bed, and a small reading lamp, but upon feeling the bed and the quilts draped over it, she decided that she'd like it here.

"Will you be okay with staying in here, Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked. "I know it's not very big. If you want, you can sleep on the couch-"

"No, this is great!" Scootaloo exclaimed. "Thanks, Fluttershy!"

Fluttershy smiled, then nodded. "Rainbow's going to be staying with me in my room," she said. "If you ever need anything, just come and get us."

Scootaloo nodded. "Will do."

Fluttershy then walked back out to her parlor, where Rainbow was wearily lounging across her sofa. "Are you alright, Rainbow?" she asked.

Rainbow nodded. "Yeah. It's just... I don't know. I guess this is just really hard to take in..."

Fluttershy nodded.

After a moment, Rainbow asked, "So, should we see if we can make you an appointment with Dr. Arch?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "Maybe later, but not now," she said. "I just want to be with you right now."

Nodding, Rainbow opened her fore leg, allowing Fluttershy to crawl onto the sofa and lay on it beside her. Rainbow gently kissed her forehead, then closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall back into a light sleep with Fluttershy.


*	*	*


Rainbow was tremendously grateful to Twilight for telling their friends about what had happened; Twilight was able to convince Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie to leave her and Fluttershy alone for the day, giving them some more peace and relaxation. Needless to say, when Rainbow and Fluttershy encountered their friends again the next day, their friends were highly concerned, supportive, and furious for Fluttershy. Seeing Pinkie's anger towards Fluttershy's rapist particularly chilled them; though Rainbow would have liked nothing more than to skin him, she wasn't entirely sure that Pinkie wouldn't, given the opportunity.

Applejack felt very guilty, and said that it was her fault. Fluttershy gently assured her that she had done nothing wrong, and that there was nothing she could have done to prevent it. Rarity begged them to let her know if there was anything she could do to help. Deciding to heed Twilight's advice, they scheduled an appointment with Dr. Rose Arch; after Fluttershy's first session with her, they decided to schedule an appointment every week for the foreseeable future.

All the while, Rainbow was restless and frustrated; she desperately wanted to continue to be physically intimate with her gorgeous girlfriend, but her love and concern for Fluttershy held her back, as Fluttershy hadn't indicated that she was ready yet. Rainbow spent a lot of time masturbating in an attempt to assuage her intense cravings, but it helped little; nothing could truly replace actually holding and touching Fluttershy's body.

On the evening before Fluttershy's second appointment with Dr. Horse, Rainbow was laying on Fluttershy's bed, resting her chin on one of the pillows. She, Scootaloo, and Fluttershy had just finished dinner, and Fluttershy had volunteered to take Scootaloo to bed.

Rainbow continued to be intensely tortured by her tremendous carnal desires. She hadn't had sex with Fluttershy for a week, and her frustration was beginning to drive her mad. As she had before, she wished desperately that she hadn't slept with so many other girls when she and Fluttershy were fillies; she was accustomed to getting sex from whoever she wanted, whenever she wanted. She was completely unprepared for being in a monogamous relationship, especially one in which her partner had to be abstinent in order to heal.

Rainbow buried her face in the pillow and moaned. Fluttershy was usually as eager as she was, so she'd never had to hold back before. This made Rainbow hate Fluttershy's rapist even more: he had robbed Fluttershy the pleasure of something she enjoyed, even if he'd stolen it only temporarily. But Fluttershy was likely scarred for life by what he'd done, and she'd never truly be done healing.

"I swear..." Rainbow growled. "I swear, if it weren't for Scootaloo and Fluttershy, I'd go out there right now and find him and tear his eyes out..."

However, Rainbow was interrupted by a small knock on the bedroom door. "Dashie?" Fluttershy said quietly from behind it. "Are you awake?"

"Yeah," Rainbow called back.

Fluttershy opened the door, then slowly walked to Rainbow's side. "How are ya doin'?" Rainbow asked.

Fluttershy smiled. "I'm doing well," she replied. She climbed up onto the bed and faced Rainbow as she asked, "How are you?"

Rainbow shrugged. "Fine, I guess."

Fluttershy's lips formed a small smirk as her eyes narrowed. "You guess?" she said.

"Yeah," Rainbow sighed, looking to the side.

Fluttershy slowly draped her forelegs over Rainbow's shoulders, causing Rainbow's eyes to widen as she surprisedly turned back to her. "You've done so much for me," Fluttershy purred. "Surely I can do something to thank you?"

Fluttershy kissed Rainbow, and Rainbow slowly began to return it. However, after a few moments, her eyes opened wide and she pulled away, gazing anxiously at Fluttershy. Seeing the worried expression on her lover's face, Fluttershy asked, "What's wrong, Dashie?"

"Are... are you sure you want to do this?" Rainbow asked.

Fluttershy blinked and was silent for a moment, but smiled and nodded. "Yes, I do," she said. "Don't worry about me, Dashie. I still want you. I still love you."

Grinning excitedly, Rainbow responded by meeting Fluttershy's lips in another passionate kiss.


*	*	*


Rainbow sat beside Fluttershy, draping her foreleg around her shoulders as Fluttershy leaned her head against her chest. They were sitting in Dr. Horse's office in the Ponyville Hospital, waiting for the doctor to return with the results of the multiple tests he'd performed on Fluttershy.

Fluttershy had told Dr. Horse that she felt perfectly fine, so he told her that she probably had nothing to worry about. He took blood and urine samples from her, and Rainbow read a volume of Daring Do as they waited for him to return and tell them what he'd learned from them.

The door opened, and Rainbow and Fluttershy looked up. Dr. Horse entered, but Rainbow and Fluttershy's hopeful expressions faded as they saw the grim look on his face.

"What's up, doc?" Rainbow asked, a tinge of anxiety in her voice.

Dr. Horse took a breath. "Well, you haven't tested positive for any diseases, Fluttershy."

Fluttershy's soft smile returned. "Oh, that's good," she said.

"However," Dr. Horse continued, "your pregnancy test came back positive."

Rainbow and Fluttershy gazed in shock at Dr. Horse for a few moments. "W-what?!" Rainbow said. "Fluttershy's pregnant?!"

Dr. Horse nodded. "Most likely, yes."

Rainbow gaped at Dr. Horse for a few moments, then stood, glaring at him. "But didn't you give her that birth control pill?! Wasn't that supposed to keep her from getting pregnant?!"

Dr. Horse nodded. "Yes, but it didn't completely eliminate her chances of becoming pregnant; it only reduced them."

There was another tense moment of silence, then Fluttershy quietly whispered, "I... I'm p... pregnant?"

"There's a chance that there was an error in the test," Dr. Horse replied, "but that chance is very small."

Fluttershy looked down, a blank expression on her face.

After letting the news sink in for about a minute, Dr. Horse said, "Now, what I'd advise you to do is abort it immediately. We actually have the pill here right now, so if you-"

"Am- am I in any danger?" Fluttershy asked quietly.

Dr. Horse raised a brow. "Hmm? Well, no, not really. I mean, unless you have an allergy to this specific medication-"

"I m-mean..." Fluttershy said. "I mean, um... would I be in any danger if I let the foal come to term?"

Dr. Horse's eyes widened. "What? Well, n-no, you're perfectly healthy and would likely not have any problems, but aborting it would actually be less dangerous than giving birth."

Fluttershy nodded. "I understand," she said. She stood up, gave him a polite smile, and said, "Thank you, doctor. Can I schedule another appointment in a few weeks?"

After hesitating for a moment, Dr. Horse replied, "Y-yes. However, I recommend that you come back within a month, or the medication won't be enough and we'll have to remove the fetus surgically."

Fluttershy nodded. "Alright. Thank you again for everything."

Rainbow quietly stood and exited the office with her girlfriend as Fluttershy said to Dr. Horse, "Goodbye."

As Rainbow walked with Fluttershy to her cottage, her mind reeled at the revelation that had just befallen them. Fluttershy was pregnant with her rapist's foal. Rainbow steadily felt her fury begin building again, but she again repressed it as she said to Fluttershy, "So, uh... when do you think we should go in?"

Fluttershy's brow furrowed as she looked down in concentration. "Um... in about three weeks, I think?"

Rainbow raised a brow in puzzlement. "Uh... okay. Is it just too intimidating now?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "No. I just read that it won't be worth going until about three weeks."

Rainbow's mouth opened slightly as she gazed confusedly at Fluttershy. What in the world was she talking about?

Suddenly, however, Rainbow's eyes widened as realization fell upon her. "It... won't be worth getting an abortion until you're three weeks in?" Rainbow asked anxiously.

Fluttershy turned surprisedly to Rainbow. "What? No! I'm not aborting it!"

Rainbow ran in front of Fluttershy and stood facing her. "Are you serious?!" she cried. "Why not?! You heard what Doc Horse said; it's perfectly safe!"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes, I know," she answered calmly. "I just don't think it's right."

Rainbow's jaw fell open. "What?!" she shouted. "You don't think it's right to abort it?! Fluttershy, that's your rapist's kid!"

"That's not its fault," Fluttershy replied.

"Yeah, but-!"

"Rainbow," Fluttershy said quietly, "it's a living thing, just like you and me. I shouldn't punish it for something somepony else did."

"But- Fluttershy," Rainbow said, her eyes full of worry, "what about you? Fluttershy, that's your rapist's kid. If you don't abort it, you're going to have to have it. You're gonna have to give birth to your rapist's child."

Fluttershy nodded. "I know that," she said. "And I appreciate your concern for me. But I'm not going to abort it. I'd understand it if you wanted to, but this is my choice, and I'm choosing not to."

Rainbow gazed quietly at Fluttershy for a moment, then hesitatingly nodded. "Y-yeah. Alright..." she muttered.

Fluttershy smiled. "Thanks for understanding, Dashie."

As they began walking again, Rainbow said, "I don't understand..."

"Well, thanks for at least respecting my decision," Fluttershy replied.

Rainbow nodded. They were silent the rest of their journey back to Fluttershy's home.

When Rainbow and Fluttershy entered the cottage, Scootaloo, who was reading a comic on the sofa, looked up from her book and shouted, "Hey, guys!"

"Hey, Scoots..." Rainbow wearily replied.

Scootaloo frowned concernedly. "What's wrong?" she asked.

"I'm pregnant," Fluttershy replied.

Scootaloo gaped at her. "W-what?" she said. "You're pregnant?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes," she said, softly smiling.

After a moment, Scootaloo gasped elatedly. She squealed, "I'm gonna be an aunt! Or a big sister! This is so cool!"

"Um..." Fluttershy said, "Actually, I might, uh... I might put it up for adoption."

Scootaloo's smile immediately faded. "What? Why?!" she asked.

"Well, um," Fluttershy said, nervously looking away, "I want what's best for it. And, um... I don't... I don't know if I'd be a good enough mother for it."

After a moment of stunned silence, Scootaloo shouted, "What?! You'd be a great mom, Fluttershy!"

"It might have a better one in another home, though," Fluttershy said.

Scootaloo sighed disappointedly. "Great. Now I'll never have a little sister..." she muttered.

"I didn't say I wouldn't keep it," Fluttershy said. "I just said that I might not."

A bit of Scootaloo's hopeful expression returned. "So... you might keep your baby?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes. If I decide that I'll be a good mother, I'll keep it."

Scootaloo grinned. "Alright! Well, like I said, you'd be a great mom, Fluttershy!" she cried.

Scootaloo then ran to her room, shouting, "Good night, guys!"

Rainbow was silent for a moment. She then turned to Fluttershy and asked, "So... you might, uh... keep it?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes," she said. "I make a decent living, and I'm certainly good with animals. But raising a foal will be a little different."

Rainbow swallowed. "So... so when are you gonna decide?" she asked.

Fluttershy looked up. "I don't know," she said. "But I'm going to decide before it's born."

After a moment, Rainbow nodded. "Al... alright," she said.

They were silent for a while, then Rainbow shook her head and said, "So... anyway..."

Rainbow took a deep breath, then asked, "What's his name?"

Fluttershy turned confusedly to her. "W-what?"

"The father," Rainbow said. "What's his name?"

Fluttershy blinked. "D-Dashie, what are you-"

Rainbow looked fiercely at her. "I'm gonna find him," she said, her voice dangerously quiet. "I'm gonna make him pay."

Fluttershy's eyes widened with worry. "N-no, Dashie!" she cried. "You can't-!"

"I'm not gonna kill him," Rainbow said. "But I can't let him get away with this. I can't let him make this happen to any more girls. I'm just gonna make sure he doesn't do this again. Please, Flutters, tell me his name."

After a few moments, Fluttershy nodded. "O-okay," she said. "His name is Noir. He's a gray Stallion with long black hair and a mace Cutie Mark."

Rainbow's eyes narrowed. She'd seen him before. She knew exactly what he looked like. He was always hanging around the bar, and he'd been arrested for disturbing the peace more than a few times.

"Alright," Rainbow said. She turned to the door. "Thanks, Flutters. I'll be back."

Rainbow opened the door, but Fluttershy put her hoof on her shoulder. Rainbow turned back and saw Fluttershy staring fearfully at her. "Don't kill him, Dashie," she said. "He isn't worth it. And be safe."

After a moment, Rainbow nodded. She stroked Fluttershy's cheek, gave her a comforting smile, then walked out into the night.

Rainbow's wings ruffled as she slowly plodded towards the Rotten Apple, the bar she usually saw Noir hanging around. Her magenta eyes were aflame with fury as she quietly made her way towards the monster who'd violated her girlfriend.

Soon enough, Rainbow reached the bar. Sure enough, she saw the gravel-gray, greasy haired scarred Stallion leaning against the outside wall, smoking a cigarette. Rainbow walked towards him until she was about twenty feet away, where she stopped.

After a few moments, Noir looked to the side and saw her. He immediately turned to her, and after a moment he smirked. "Well, hell-o, babe," he muttered over the smoking cigarette in the corner of his mouth.

Rainbow turned around and walked into an alley. She heard Noir chuckle and shout after her, "Hey, were do ya think you're goin', babe?"

Rainbow continued walking forward, and he heard Noir trot in after her. "Yo, I was talkin' to you!" he shouted.

Once Rainbow was deep in the alley, she turned around to face him.

Noir stopped a few feet away from Rainbow, chuckled again, spat his cigarette on the ground, and crushed it under his foot. "What you doin' out so late, babe?" Noir asked, his eyes running down Rainbow's form.

Trembling with disgust and rage, Rainbow calmly replied, "I was out looking for you."

Noir's smile widened. "Really now, babe?" he chuckled, stepping forward.

"Oh, yes," Rainbow growled. "You raped my girlfriend."

Noir stopped, his eyes widening in surprise. "Your girlfriend?" he said. "Who-?"

Then suddenly, realization fell upon him and he burst into laughter. "Oh, you mean that cute little pegasus Mare?"

He laughed some more, then said, "Yeah, she was great. She was crying and begging me to stop the whole time. It was so bucking hot."

Rainbow began to slowly walk towards him. Noir continued, "So, she's your girlfriend, huh? Damn, I wish she told me she was into Mares. Maybe we could've had a three-way then. But I guess we could still have one-"

In the middle of his sentence, however, Rainbow suddenly spun around and kicked his face with her hind legs as hard as she could. She felt his nose break under the blow, and she heard him cry out in intense pain as he stumbled backwards.

Rainbow turned back around to face him, and saw that his nose was heavily bleeding and that several of his teeth were laying on the ground. Noir gazed astonishedly at Rainbow, and saw murder in her eyes. This energetic, impulsive, boisterous Pegasus was moving slowly, deliberately, quietly towards him.

Roaring in anger, Noir lunged at Rainbow, swinging his right hoof at her, but Rainbow nonchalantly dodged out of his path and let him fall to the ground.

As Noir struggled to get back up, Rainbow shoved her hoof into his chest. He cried out in agony and looked fearfully up at her as he felt his ribs bend under her weight.

"She told me not to kill you," Rainbow muttered. "That's the girl you've violated, you worthless piece of shit. Even though you raped her, she still asked me not to kill you. I only promised her that I wouldn't because she's carrying your kid, and I can't leave her alone."

Noir roared as he swung his fist at her again, but Rainbow blocked his blow and struck him in the head. She continued with terrifying calmness, "If I didn't promise her I wouldn't kill you, I would bucking flay you, scalp you, then rip your throat out. But I won't."

Rainbow placed her hoof on the side of Noir's head, placing some of her weight on it. Noir whimpered as he gazed in absolute terror up at her. Though his eyes begged for mercy, he found none in Rainbow's.

"I'm not gonna kill you," Rainbow repeated. "But make no mistake- I'm gonna make you suffer."
