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 Three: Telling The Mane Six After Rarity got her big break in fashion world and moved to Canterlot, Fluttershy was asked to watch over the Canterlot Gardens and Twilight became a teacher at Celestia’s School, the friends barely ever all got together. They now only did it every three months. Each time the Ponyville group would go to Canterlot or visa versa. This time the Canterlot group was coming. Woo! Woo! A shrill whistle broke the air flow as the train came into the station. Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy were surprised to find that only Pinkie was waiting for them. “Hey Pinkie, where’s Apple Jack and Rainbow Dash?” Twilight asked as the trio approached the bouncy pink pony. “I Pinkie Pie promised that I’d let them tell you guys about it when they’re done. They said they would meet us at Sugarcube Corner in a half an hour!” Pinkie replied with her usual toothy grin. “Why don’t we head over there then?” Rarity suggested. “Okie dokie lokie!” the exuberant mare exclaimed. HALF AN HOUR LATER Ring a ding ding! The bell on the door to Sugarcube Corner rung as two mares, one cyan, the other orange, entered the cupcake shaped bakery. Their friends were there waiting for them. “Hi girls!” The cyan pegasus greeted her friends as she and her orange companion sat down, “Me and AJ both have really big news to tell you.” Everypony could tell both mares were nervous. Apple Jack was clearly nauseous. Her cheeks were getting greener by the second. Rainbow Dash was obviously exhausted but that could very well be she didn't take a nap like she normaly did. “Really? What?” Rarity asked. “Me and Soarin’ got engaged!” AJ exclaimed excitedly, instantly wishing she hadn't as it became ten times harder to keep her lunch down. “That’s wonderful!” Rarity congratulated. “Rainbow, didn’t you say you also had some news? Does it have anything to do with your and Caramel’s wedding date?” Twilight asked. “We have a date but that’s not my big news.” the cyan pegasus replied, “I’m pregnant.” “Really! I’m so happy for you and Caramel!” Fluttershy said in an excited but shushed voice. Suddenly the nausea got the better of AJ and she ran over to the restroom. Her friends heard her retching and ran over to the stall to see what the matter was. “What’s wrong with AJ?” Twilight asked. “I’m not the only expecting mother in Ponyville.” Rainbow answered. “Wait what does that have to do with… oh.” Rarity started only to have the realization of it coming down on her. After AJ was done balling her innards out, the friends spent the next several hours excitedly discussing the plans for the two upcoming weddings. “I can’t wait for your wedding next month, AJ!” Pinkie cheered excitedly. “I think I’ll stay in Ponyville until your wedding.” Twilight said calmly. It was summer and Twilight did not need to stay in Canterlot. “Me too,” Rarity added, “my boutique in Canterlot can wait.” “I wish I could” Fluttershy spoke sadly. “It’s ok, we know you’ll be there for both of the weddings.” Rainbow told her. The friends bid Fluttershy farewell as she boarded the train back to Canterlot before heading to their homes. I know it wasn’t much of an ending of a chapter or even much of a chapter in general but I needed the rest of their friends to find out somehow. I think the next two chapters will be the weddings. I’m going to completely skip the wedding showers and get right to them walking down the aisle. I know this chapter kinda sorta sucks so please review if you have any ideas to make it better! Also, if you can think of any apple related colt names send me a message because I can’t think of any and at least one of the foals will be a colt. Also should RD & Caramel’s foal or AJ & Soarin’s foal be a pegasus? Maybe both or niether? Maybe a unicorn? Nah, I'm just pullig your leg about a unicorn... Or am I?
