Perspective: Big Macintosh
We rejoin Fluttermac about 3 months later
Big Macintosh decided to accompany Fluttershy to her dress fitting with Rarity. Of course he wouldn't be allowed to see the dress; it was supposed to be bad luck to see the bride in her wedding dress before the wedding. But, he didn't want her walking all alone to Ponyville Centre, he knew how she was. So, he offered his company as moral support.
The pair had decided they wanted a spring wedding, spring being Fluttershy's favorite season, and it wasn't Applebuck season so they would have time for the wedding and a Honeymoon.
"I can't wait to see what amazing design Rarity has come up with." said Fluttershy breaking the silence.
"Eeyup." Responded Big Macintosh. He wasn't much for design or fashion. However, he knew that Fluttershy had a hidden talkent of sewing and appreciated the art.
Being so consumed in his thoughts, Mac hadn't realized how quickly they had reached Rarity's Boutique. One of the things he really loved about Fluttershy was that when they walked together, she didn't talk. Well, he loves hearing her talk, but he also likes to think and clear his mind while he walks, not have to ingage in a conversation. It seemed like Fluttershy felt the same way, because she would always stare off into the road, consumed in her own private matters as Big Mac was with his.
Big Macintosh held the door open for his fiancé as she quietly walked into the room. "Thank you Mac," said Fluttershy as she gave him a little peck on the cheek, to show her gratitude towards him being a gentlecolt. Big Macintosh never failed to blush when Fluttershy kissed his cheek. As his fiancé, she had done it a dozen times, but he always liked the show of affection.
"Yay, you're hear!" singsonged Rarity from behind a curtain, and Mac couldn't figure out which one. The entire boutique was laced with velvet curtains.
Suddenly one opened, and Rarity stepped out. She always looked ready for a fashion shoot. Well, everypony looked fantasticly groomed next to Mac, with his sweat and mud from working. Thank Celestia he was in love with Fluttershy and not Rarity. Fluttershy never talked about his faults, but he felt that Rarity would always nag him about his appearance and presentation.
"Oh, Big Macinosh, lovely to see you." Rarity seem surprised to see the red stallion ever step foot in her store.
"Eeyup."
"No offense, but Im going to take Fluttershy into the other room to try on her gown. You know, its bad luck to see the dress before the big day." Rarity talked nervously, obviously not knowing how to communicate with a ruffian like Big Mac without being rude. They had barely ever exchanged words.
"Eeyup." Big Macintosh absentmindedly stared at his reflection in the shine of Rarity's polished tile floor. He looked like a mess. He felt like he didn't deserve Fluttershy at the moment. She always looked beautiful to him, even though her tail dragged in the dirt instead of her flying, but she also had a grace to her step. Big Mac only wished he could tell this to her face.
The curtain suddenly parted a little as it made space for Fluttershy walking out of it. "You ready to go, Sugarcube?" questioned Big Mac. The process had taken a lot less time then he would have imagined, or maybe time had flown while he thought about his bride to be. He would have expected Rarity to have her in there for hours, changing the dress a million times until it seemed fit for Fluttershy's color and personality. Of course Big Mac would love anything his bride wore, and even if he didn't, he would pretend. No need to quarrel over something like a piece of cloth. But when he looked at her, she looked disheveled "What's wrong,?" said Big Mac noticing his fiancé's expression. She looked nervous, guilty and most of all, scared.
The next words though, Big Macintosh wasn't prepared for. "Mac, I'm pregnant."
