Chapter Twelve: After the birth...

Another few months later…

It has been a few days since she gave birth, and Rainbow Dash looked relatively comfortable as she was relaxing on her bed. The daredevil mare was taking in the fresh air, and she was feeling a rather pleasant morning. The feeling of all those aches and pains was gone, and the horrible experience of childbirth was finally past. She delivered two healthy babies into the world. She felt somewhat relieved from the entire process and experienced swearing to never do it again. In fact, she told Winter specifically that if they want more foals, she’ll be the one to carry them to term. She looked down over her admiring her now belly being flat, and her teats were still bulbous, but they were much smaller and much more normal looking than before. The filly then heard sounds coming from the kitchen and slowly made her way down the hall. There was her daughter Snow Angel in the kitchen with her pristine white coat and with a stubby rainbow mane of icy blue and light purple, and her sister Phoenix. The latter had a fiery orange fur, but she looked like a picture-perfect sunny day with a soft yellow and white mix of a mane. The filly was somewhat eccentric, bouncing up and down and making cute babbling noises. While Snow Angel was much more relaxed, still looking rather sleepy as she continued to chomp on her foal smeared and smearing some of it on her tray. Despite hating being pregnant, seeing her lovely foals and how their personalities were already showing made her so proud. She then slowly trotted over, giving her daughters a kiss on their foreheads; then she heard.

“Hey, Rainbow! Glad to see you're finally up!” Winter chirped as she was busy spoon-feeding them baby oatmeal, with Phoenix getting hot sauce mixed with hers while Snow Angel got melted ice cream.

Rainbow Dash looked over and said, “Hey, looks like they’re changed and fed?”

“Yup, and your mom came by dropping off some of the stuff she had when you were a foal.”

Rainbow rolled her eyes as she turned to see that all of her family was there. Her parents lying together on a couch, sleeping together. She then noticed that Summer and Autumn were outside playing volleyball. Having lived alone for so long all this company over wasn’t something she was used to but it was welcoming.

“So, are we going to miss the Equestria games?” Winter asked with her cheeks flushing pink.

Rainbow scoffed, “ya kidding me? I might not be competing, but I’m sure going to go support Ponyville. Let’s get going; we don’t want to be late!”

“Well, ok…” Winter snickered, not wanting to mention that it was already past noon and everypony was waiting for her.

Rainbow Dash quickly got out of a stroller packing the foals as her parents woke up and started to embarrass her about how motherly she looked. The daredevil did her best to ignore them as she made her way out of the house and onto the clouds outside. She stretched her body, still loving her average body back where she saw that Summer and Autumn fly over. She loved Winter’s sisters, giving them both a hug as they congratulated her and gave her foals a few nuzzles.

Rainbow Dash looked around and said, “well, guess everyone is here except Spring.”

“Oh yeah, she was here for the birth but left again; just give her time she’ll come around,” Summer added; she then nudged Rainbow Dash as they flew off together to the Crystal Empire.


The entire family was sitting back and relaxing as Winter held Snow Angel having her suckle down a bottle. Rainbow Dash had Phoenix in her hooves doing the same. She settled into her seat, watching Scootlaoo and her friends come out and waving the flag for Ponyville and then watching the rest of the games. Rainbow Dash found a ton of them boring, from archery to jousting, hoof racing, rodeo, and then the relay race. She couldn’t help but cheer on Derpy, Bulk Biceps, and Fluttershy, making up the Ponyville team, and felt proud seeing them get the gold medal. While Cloudsdale came in a close second with the help of Soarin. Despite all of battling her pregnancy and feeling so tired and exhausted, hating her body, and how she was still nervous about being a mother. She couldn’t help but see she had a lot of impact on helping Derpy and Soarin overcome their shortcomings in teaching them how to fly better and helping Scotaloo overcome her anxiety about not being able to fly. She didn’t realize it, but tears were coming down her eyes as she watched the closing ceremonies with Bulk Biceps, Fluttershy, and Derpy being rewarded with their medals and Soarin getting his silver. Winter nuzzled her and whispered, “Is something wrong?”

Rainbow just looked right into her eyes, and she couldn’t help but feel a swelling of love overcome her. She loved Winter so much, being there throughout her pregnancy and keeping her from losing her mind. These achievements wouldn’t have been possible without her support, and she was looking forward to raising her foals with her. Rainbow then bent her head into Winter’s face and kissed her on the lips; the two held that embrace for some time even as the Games ended, and it was the crying of their foals got them to stop. They then got up to take the foals to get changed, get ready to get some food and get a room at the palace, seeing it was getting late. Rainbow Dash and Winter trotted off side by side with the stroller in the middle as they trotted off from the grounds towards the palace.
