//------------------------------// // The End // Story: Midwife Crisis // by starshine_dash //------------------------------// Fluttershy and Derpy awoke Saturday morning with ruffled manes and a smile on their faces. Fluttershy had taken up the role of big spoon as the pregnant mare was getting a little big around the middle to little spoon to. They lay, comfortable and warm in the sheets and with last night still in the air. The yellow mare giggled a little and tried to untangle herself, "We need a bath." "No, we need to stay in bed more," replied her wall-eyed lover. Placing her nose against the grey coat of her mate and nuzzling in, the pegasus made some valid points, "If we go take a bath, we can get muffins." Derpy tried to get out of bed in a flash, but failed miserably, groaning as she stood slowly, "Muffins, you, and the girls are the only reason to get up at this point..." "Well, just another two months or so, sweetie." "I know, I just feel terrible in the mornings." Fluttershy blushed as she headed for the bath, "Well, we do exercise quite a bit before bed..." Giggling, the other pegasus followed her into the bathroom and waited while the tub filled, "I guess I should stretch more." "Stretching is always good, especially for a pregnant mare, I can teach you some wonderful stretches." "And the innuendo flies right over your head again." "Oh. OH! I'm sorry. I was never very good at that." Derpy placed a wing around her mare and smiled, nuzzling her neck, "Don't worry, I love you no matter what." "I love you too." The two bathed, and eventually managed to remove themselves from the tub. The baby shower went off without a hitch and eventually the big day came. After some minor, common complications, Derpy gave birth to a healthy pegasus colt named Summer Breeze and after a whirlwind of madness, mostly on the overly organized Twilight's part, a wedding was held, and everypony involved wished the couple many happy days.
