"Well, I think we've warned everypony," said Twilight happily, the others nodded, suddenly Fluttershy trotted up to them

"Hi girls," she said, there was a heap of happiness in her voice

"Hey Flutters, what are you so happy about?"

"There's going to be a prince or princess born soon!"

the others looked confused

"But how?" asked Twilight "None of the princesses other than Cadence have foals"

Fluttershy giggled

"I know, but isn't there a pony who's married to a certain lord?"

the others looked confused for a second, until Rarity, Rainbow, and Pinkie gasped

"DARLING!!!Are you....?"asked Rarity

"Having a....?" asked Rainbow

"BABY?!" asked Pinkie excitedly

Fluttershy nodded with joyful tears in her eyes

"Yes, I'm having a foal"

the girls squealed and surrounded Fluttershy with an enormous bear hug, but were careful around her tummy

"WE'RE GOING TO BE AUNTS" exclaimed Pinkie

"Have you told Discord yet?" asked Twilight

"No, but I will,.....soon," said Fluttershy "Now careful, I don't want the baby to get crowded" 

The girls eventually got off, still smiling, suddenly Discord appeared out of nowhere, he looked frantic, once he Saw Fluttershy, he let out a sigh of relief

"Hello dear, it's good to see you," he  said panting

"Back already?" asked Fluttershy

"Yep, captured Tirek, he's back in Tartarus, everything is fine"

"Good,....."

Discord looked at Fluttershy, she had an enormous smile on her face

"What's with the grin?" he asked

Fluttershy giggled

"I'll tell you another time," she said

"Hey Discord, do you know where foals come from?" asked Rainbow

"Yes,....why?"

"No reason," said Rainbow frowning

"I hate you" whispered Rainbow hoofing over the bits to Pinkie

"Well, I would love to stay with you all, but I have to go see if,.......I accidently turned the paths to lard in Canterlot" he quickly snapped his fingers and disappeared.

"RUDE, just sayin" said rainbow

Fluttershy rolled her eyes

"Wait, if Discord's the dad, then will the baby have chaotic magic TOO?" asked Pinkie, the other's eyes widened

"I,.....I-I hadn't thought of that," said Fluttershy

"Me neither" admitted Twilight, embarrassedly 

"Ah'd say it would be a hoof full," said Applejack

"No kidding, one baby ALICORN in the crystal empire was one thing, but a part Pony and part DRACONEQUUS in PONYVILLE?!" said Rainbow

"My my,.....well, Discord might not have a problem with it, in fact, I'd say that if it's true, Discord would be the proudest creature in Equestria," said Rarity

"Well,....I guess it would be a bit of a hoof full, but I'm sure me, and Discord can handle it" said Fluttershy confidently

"For your sake,..." Twilight began

"AND OURS,..." added Rainbow

"Let's hope your right" finished Twilight

"Well, I can't wait to  be an AUNTIE," said Pinkie

"Neither can we Pinks, neither can we," said Applejack smiling
