All remained quiet around the house as Blaze and Starlight sat in their rooms, and Soarin watched TV in the living room.
Starlight left her room, and crossed the hall to Blaze’s room. She knocked on his door.
“Come in.” He said.
Starlight walked into his room, and closed the door behind her. She walked over to Blaze, and sat down.
“What are you thinking about the new foal?” She asked.
Blaze chuckled. “Don’t even get me started. That little sucker is going to be even more destructive than me when he’s older!”
Starlight looked up, and held her hooves out.
“Celestia above, please save us from the abomination that has been cursed upon this home!” She hailed. They both laughed at her joke.
About half an hour later, the front door opened, and Rainbow and Flash walked inside. Rainbow was limping slightly, and she held her new foal in her hooves.
“Now remember, until I can get Twilight to come and enchant our home, you must not drop the foal. The consequences of that could be disastrous!” Flash mentioned.
Rainbow gasped. “Great scott!”
The two of them laughed.
Soarin spoke up from the couch. “While you guys were gone at the hospital, I already had that done for you.”
“Oh, thank you!” Flash replied.
Rainbow gave him a suspicious stare. She took her foal, and gently laid him down on the floor. She loosened her grip on his sides, and he stayed on the floor. He didn’t fall right through.
“Whoa, that’s cool.”
“Now you have to remember, Twilight’s spell runs out in 168 hours. That’s one week exactly. Once that time period is complete, you’ll have to renew the spell. Things will get ugly if you don’t.” Soarin reminded them.
Rainbow shuddered. “We’ll keep that in mind.” Flash said.
Blaze and Starlight walked out of Blaze’s room to greet their parents.
Rainbow’s foal was getting very drowsy, so she limped over to the couch next to Soarin, and set him down. He inched over to Soarin, and fell asleep on his lap.
Soarin looked down at the sleeping foal. “I have such a good feeling right now…” He whispered as he stroked the foal’s back.
Blaze studied Rainbow Dash, as she walked kind of funny.
“Dad, why is mom walking like that?” He asked.
“Well, the reason we had to stay behind after the delivery was because your mom needed to get some stitches.” Flash responded.
Blaze looked interested. “Stitches? Where? Can I see them?”
Flash chuckled. “No, I’m afraid you’re not allowed to see Rainbow’s stitches.”
Blaze was confused. “Why?”
“Well, they’re located in a more private place on her body. A place you, or anypony else except me shouldn’t be looking at.” He explained.
Rainbow shrugged.
It took Blaze a moment to catch on. “Oh, now I see what you’re saying!”
He giggled.
Flash looked at Rainbow. “Do you still remember how to nurse?”
“What?”
“You still have to feed him, you know.”
Rainbow thought for a moment. “Oh, that’s natural. Of course I remember how to do that. …It still sucks, though. World-class athletes should never have to do something like that.”
Flash smiled. “You are pretty good at it, though.”
Flash did not get the response he was hoping to get.
“Well yeah, you would know. You get pretty wild in bed sometimes.” Rainbow responded.
An enormous blush crossed Flash’s face, and he looked down slightly.
“Um…I don’t think you should’ve…you know…said that in front of…”
He was interrupted by Blaze’s thunderous laughter.
“Oh man, that’s hilarious! My stomach’s hurting!” He exclaimed, laughing to the point of hysteric crying. “I’ll be in my room if you need me!”
Blaze walked off to his room, still laughing loudly.
Starlight tapped Flash’s hoof. “Dad, what did mom mean by that?”
“Starlight, let me tell you something. There are three kinds of things in the world: Things that are very interesting and enlighten the mind, things that should probably never be spoken of, and things that YOU ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW. This would be one of those things.” He replied calmly.
“Okay…” She said in a Fluttershy-manner.
Flash turned back to Rainbow. “That was NOT cool.”
Rainbow put her hooves up. “It’s totally true, though.”
Flash blushed a little again. “So, what if it is? You still shouldn’t have announced it to everyone else.”
Rainbow smiled. “Just trying to get a good laugh.”
Rainbow gave a huge grin, hoping to cheer Flash up.
Flash stared at her for a couple seconds, and his smile got wider and wider.
“Oh, I hate it when you do that!” He said sheepishly. He leaned forward and hugged her.
…………………………………
A little bit later, Starlight left the living room and walked into Blaze’s room again. She saw him on his bed, a pillow over his head.
She walked over to him, and removed the pillow.
The area around his head was soaking wet, and he was sleeping. Starlight reeled the pillow back, and whacked him with it.
“Ah, what is it?!” He exclaimed. He looked up. “What are you doing?”
“Why is it wet around your head?” Starlight asked.
“Oh, those are tears. Mom’s joke from earlier was really funny!” Blaze replied.
“That wasn’t a joke. Mom was being serious.”
“Wait, wha…?” Blaze thought over it for a moment. “Aw, that’s disgusting!”
Starlight shrugged. “At least they love each other.”
“Yeah, but don’t you think they love each other…too much?” He asked.
“Nope. That’s a sick and twisted thing to say, Blaze.”
Blaze chuckled. “So is what mom said earlier.”
“You just love that little joke, huh?” She asked.
“You told me it wasn’t a joke.”
“Well yeah, but it still technically qualifies as one. You do think it’s funny, after all.”
…………………………………
Meanwhile, out in the living room, Rainbow, Flash and Soarin all sat around the TV, bored. All they did was do a little talking.
Rainbow whispered something to Flash.
“Hey Soarin?” Flash asked.
“What’s up?”
“Would you like to stay for dinner? We’re going to order some pizza from Pizza Shack to celebrate the new foal.”
“Hey, that sounds sweet! Okay, I’ll stay.” He answered.
On Soarin’s lap, the foal’s horn began to glow. Suddenly, the TV turned off.
“What the-?” Flash stammered.
The foal was still sleeping, and his horn began to glow brighter. Just then, Rainbow Dash began to levitate off the couch.
“Whoa, this feels weird! Help me!” She exclaimed.
Soarin laughed. “That’s what she said.”
“Enough jokes, help me down!”
Rainbow began to frantically flap her wings. No matter how hard she buzzed, they didn’t seem to get her anywhere.
“Hey, I wonder what the foal’s dreaming about!” Flash mused.
“Probably something crazy, if it’s causing this!” Soarin added.
Rainbow’s wings were flapping at full speed as she tried to free herself of her confinement.
Suddenly, the foal’s horn stopped glowing, and Rainbow was free. However, her wings were still flapping, so she flew through the roof at full speed and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Flash and Soarin laughed loudly.
“I can tell this foal is going to be a blast to raise!” Flash stated.

Author Notes:
For the sake of this chapter, I’m adding the ‘Comedy’ category to the story!
One of the funniest things I ever wrote was at Paragraph 38, when Rainbow Dash said, “You would know, you get pretty wild in bed sometimes.”
I got that idea last night, and my face turned red from laughing, so I had to put it in!
