Soarin awoke in the hospital with a jolt, he was still for a moment and then he looked around and saw that he had bandages on his chest, down to his stomach, as well as one on his head and one on his arm and a cast on his leg. He sat up; it hurt a lot less than he thought it would. He let his back rest on the back of the bed but then it hit him...
"What happened to Rainbow?" Soarin asked out loud. He remembered his dad beat her and he remembered her bleeding stomach; then another thought hit him but this time he didn't bother saying it quietly.
"What happened to the baby?!" Soarin yelled out loud. A nurse walked in and looked at Soarin like he was crazy but then she remembered he came here with his pregnant girlfriend.
She looked at a few charts of his and Rainbow's. The nurse looked back at Soarin with a smile and said, "We haven't done an ultrasound so we don't know quite yet."
Soarin sat back again and said the next thing on his mind, "Well how is Rainbow Dash," Soarin asked.
"She is fine, she isn't even in a hospital bed. All we had to do was put some bandages on her. She is actually in the waiting room refusing to do the ultrasound without you." the nurse giggled. Soarin smiled, he knew Dash was like this. He knew Dash would want him in the room when they did the ultrasound. Then another thought came to his mind; his little sister.
"What about my little sister" Soarin asked.
"She is fine we put some bandages on her leg," the nurse said.
"How long have I been out?" Soarin asked.
"About two days," the nurse said.
"Well that's not too bad, that would explain why it hurt less to move around."
"In fact, let me see your arm," the nurse said. Soarin nodded, giving the nurse his arm. The nurse took the bandages off to reveal a small scar that looked like it could have been made by hitting the sharp edge of his countertop.
"Eeyup, I presumed correctly, this wound is healing nicely. I don't even have to put a new bandage on it. Now please hold still," The nurse said reaching for the bandage on his head. She removed them carefully. "Eeyup this one is healing nicely too. Ok for this next one I will have to remove the bandages on your chest. I've been told you have a very......um ....fit body so please don't be upset with me if I stare," the nurse said with a blush on her face.
"Ok I understand," Soarin said.
The nurse walked over and undid the bandages and did her best not to stare at his muscular body. She looked at the scar on his chest; it ran down to his stomach and stopped at his belly button.
"Oh wow, this has healed really nicely. I was expecting it to still be hurting," the nurse said. "Do you think you can stand? I have some crutches for you to use. The doctor told me that you would be ready to go when your wounds had halfway healed so why don't you try?" the nurse said.
"Ok, I'll try," Soarin said. The nurse handed him the crutches and he got up a little shaky but it worked, he was ready to leave the hospital but he knew he wouldn't leave until he and Dash got an ultrasound of the baby. The nurse handed him some clothes that were taken from his dresser by his mom. He put the clothes on and he walked out of the room with the nurse helping him to the waiting room.
Once Soarin got to the waiting room he saw Dash talking to his sister, they really were waiting for him. Rainbow was the first to notice Soarin and she got up.
"Soarin," Rainbow said in a voice that sounded like music to his ears. Rainbow rushed over to Soarin and hugged him as tight as she could.
Soarin stumbled a bit but the nurse was there to catch him so he could let go of his crutches and hug Dash.
One of the male doctors came into the waiting room. "Miss Dash, now that Soarin is awake are you ready to do your ultrasound?" he asked. Rainbow looked up at Soarin with an expression that was asking him if she should do it, Soarin gave her a reassuring look and nodded his head.
"Ok I'm ready," Rainbow said. The nurse gave Soarin back his crutches and they both went to the ultrasound room, followed by Spectrum, Firefly, and Dew Drop.
"Alright rainbow just lay down in the table and lift up your shirt so we will be able to get started," a nurse said. Rainbow did as she was told and laid down in the table and lifted her shirt.
The nurse grabbed a weird looking substance and put it on a device that rainbow had no clue about. The nurse set the object on top of Rainbow's abdomen area. Rainbow flinched.
"Ohh cold," Dash said.
"Yes it will be a little cold." the nurse said. Rainbow took a wild guess at what the instrument was supposed to do, it would make it so they could see the baby.
The nurse's expression worried the couple. Soarin was holding a firm grip on Rainbow's hand.
"Well, is there still someone in there?" Rainbow asked.
"Yes, but it's more like someones," the nurse said.
Rainbows eyes widened in pure horror, "Is-is it triplets or twins?" Rainbow asked.
"Twins," the nurse said. Rainbow looked at Soarin, the look of fear still on her face. He held her hand tight and didn't let go.
"I will be with you every step of the way, I promise, no matter what happens," Soarin said leaning down and kissing her on the lips and then giving her a loving smile.
"You bet your a- ow," Spectrum started saying before being elbowed by his wife. Firefly glared at him and motioned towards Dew Drop who just giggled.
"I think what he meant he meant to say was, 'You better or else'." Firefly finished for him.
"I can't believe it! I have two nieces or nephews, or one of each on the way!" Dew Drop proclaimed excitedly.
Soarin chuckled at the antics and looked down to see Dash with a look of doubt on her face. "Hey," he said gently, stroking her cheek, "it'll be alright, I promise. I won't let anything happen to you or our babies." He leaned down and placed a long kiss on her forehead.
"Okay Soarin I trust you," Rainbow said.
"All right your next appointment will be on...September 25th," the nurse said.
"Ok" Rainbow said. The nurse wiped off the goo from Rainbow's stomach area and she put her shirt back on. They both left to go home. Soarin went to stay with Dash and he was lucky enough to sleep with her.
