All I own is this story and the other things I have written. Summary: A new member to the Apple family is on the way after Rainbow and Caramel find out she’s expecting. Chapter Two: Big News For The Apple Family “Ya said ya had somethin’ ta tell us, Rainbow.” Big Mac said curiously. “Yeah, I do.” Rainbow Dash said nervously, "This time next year I'll be a mom." "Ya mean ta tell us that your fiancé got ya pregnant." Big Mac said dryly. Rainbow only nodded. "Ah need ta talk ta him." he said before heading off to Caramel's place of work. "Well that went better than expected." the cyan mare in response to her older brother's sudden departure. "CARAMEL, YA HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!" the large red stallion called out as he searched for the Equestrian Guard stationed in Ponyville "Yes, Big Mac." the caramel brown stallion replied as he came foreward. "It is my understanding that ya got ma little sister with child. Ah really just wanted ta make sure the wedding happens before then." the grown stallion said, trying his hardest to stay calm. "Yes, she is due in about ten months and our wedding is scheduled in nine months." he replied calmly. THREE DAYS LATER "AJ, my last show is next week," Soarin' told his girlfriend, AJ, "and I was wondering if my fiance would come to watch." He then pulled out a jewerly box. AJ knew what this meant. "Apple Jack, will you make me the happiest stallion alive? Will you marry me?" the light blue stallion asked as he showed the engagement necklace in the box.. "Of course Ah will, Sugarcube!" the orange mare said, accepting the necklace, before giving him a loving nuzzle ang hug. The sound of hooves beating on the door woke Rainbow Dash up this particular morning. She grumbled as she walked over to the door. She opened the door to see her sister wearing the biggest smile she had ever seen. "He proposed!" AJ squealed excitedly. "Really! That's wonderful, AJ!" Rainbow congratulated her sister enthusiastically, though tired. “Ah would have waited till morning ta tell ya but Ah couldn’t wait ta tell ya!” AJ apologized. “No biggie, AJ. In case you forgot, I pulled the same thing on you when Caramel proposed. But would it be ok if we waited till tomorrow to celebrate. I’m sure Pinkie will throw you a wedding shower just as she will probably throw a baby/wedding shower for me.” Rainbow said calmly but obviously tiredly. “Sure, Sugarcube! Let’s meet at our tree tomorrow at nine.” AJ agreed. The two then parted ways. Or, well, they were GOING to part ways but the second Rainbow closed the door, Apple Jack was on her knees hurling. Rainbow opened the door. “Sweet Celestia Above.” she mumbled under her breathe before helping her sister inside to the bathroom. After AJ emptied everything in her stomach and then some, Rainbow insisted that she sit down for a few minutes. She checked AJ’s temperature but she was fine. “You don’t seem sick and that’s good.” Rainbow sighed before sitting in the seat across from her sister, “So now tell me, what was that about?” “Ah don’t know.” she replied. ’Hmm…’Rainbow thought to herself, ’If I hadn’t learnt that it was pregnancy, I would say she caught what I had. Wait, that’s it!’ “AJ, were you and Soarin’ intimate last time he was here?” she asked in an all too serious tone that told AJ her sister was doing nothing more being than a caring family member who wanted to help make sure she was ok. “Yes” the orange mare replied, blushing profusly. “Well, what did he say?” Rainbow asked her sister as she and Soarin’ left Dr. Stable’s office. “In ten months me an’ Soarin’ will be parents, too.” she said, still stunned from the news. “Hey, don’t look so down AJ! We were planning foals of our own someday! True, it’s earlier than we would like but it’s our foal in there!” Soarin’ said in an attempt to cheer up his wife to be. “Yeah, Ah know but Rainbow’s gonna have hers about the same time and Ah wanted to be there for her.” AJ said calmly. “Don’t sweat it AJ!” Rainbow said with her silly, toothy grin, “Now I do believe Big Mac shall want to know about this.” “You’re right! We should be gettin’ so we can tell him before he finishes his lunch! Come on Soarin’!” AJ said as the realization of what happened dawned on her before grabbing Soarin' by the mane and running towards Sweet Apple Acres. "Good luck with Big Mac!" Rainbow called out after her sister. Yes, I added a whole new twist to the story by making AJ expecting too! Please Review!
