//------------------------------// // Ch1. Morning sickness. // Story: The Six’s foal. // by Aiwhisper //------------------------------// “Spike! Can you please…” Twilight was interrupted by another wave of nausea and quickly ran into the bathroom. She had been feeling sick almost every morning since ascending into an alicorn. At first she thought it was just from Pinkie’s non stop ‘alicornication’ parties but those finally ended three days ago. “Twilight are you sure you’re going to be ok?” A concerned Spike asked. “You have been sick for two weeks now.” “I’ll be…” her cheeks bulged as she let out one last burp. “Fine Spike. I’ll just stop by Zacora’s or the hospital for nausea medicine. It’s not like these wings and the rest of my body haven’t been just as finicky after becoming an alicorn.” She groaned. “Twilight darling. How wonderful to see you, I was getting worried you would miss our brunch.” Rarity got to her hooves and gave her friend a nuzzle. “Are you doing alright? You look positively dreadful dear.” A few of the other ponies around watched the two, primarily focused on their new princess. “Just a bit under the weather. I think Pinkie overdid it with the back to back parties and these things.” She ruffled her wings. “Have made it hard to get comfortable while sleeping.” Twilight replied as they both sat down at the table. “Rainbow Dash is going to be helping me out this afternoon at least with Pegasus training.” “Well that’s good to hear I would hate not being able to take care of my wings. If I had them.” She tittered. As the two got their meal, Twilight eating shower than normal, Rarity asked. “So Princess when will you be stopping by to get a new dress?” “Rarity please don’t call me that. It’s bad enough other ponies have been doing it and I don’t want it from friends.” Twilight frowned. “Oh darling you know I’m just teasing you. However you do need a new wardrobe considering the new wings and… size.” Rarity sheepishly said. “What do you mean, size?” Twilight growled with narrowed eyes. “Nothing darling, it’s just that you’ve gotten a bit, bigger. Probably the Earth pony aspects you acquired after becoming an alicorn.” Rarity said nervously. Twilight huffed but neither said anything more while finishing brunch. Once finished the two headed to the boutique to take Twilight’s new measurements. “Say Rarity?” Twilight asked a bit hesitantly. “Yes darling?” She sensually replied. “Why are you sticking so close?” Rarity was practically pressing herself under her wing. Rarity blinked a few times then backed off, “so sorry dear, I just had this sudden urge to protect you.” “Wha hahaha, Rarity actually said that then got all friendly?” Rainbow Dash was laughing her ass off after hearing Twilight tell her story. “It’s not funny Rainbow, Rarity basically called me fat then tried to butter me up.” Twilight stomped the ground. Rainbow turned serious and circled around her closely with an appraiser’s eye. “Well you’re definitely bigger than you were Twi. Not fat exactly but all around bigger. Heck your wings are longer than mine by just a bit.” Rainbow ran a hoof over Twilight’s spread wings causing her to shudder. “I guess that makes sense.” Twilight blushed then sighed. “Just look-at the other Princesses, Alicorns typically are bigger.” Rainbow nodded. “Besides we’re here to get you and those wings of yours in shape.” Rainbow then proceeded to teach Twilight all about preening and proper wing maintenance along with a few simple exercises until the late afternoon. When the two finished training and had stopped for an early dinner Rainbow stuck surprisingly close to her considering all the sweat. “You did great today Twi. Not as awesome as me but not bad for your first time gliding.” Rainbow bragged as they headed back to the library. “Thanks, I surprisingly had a lot of…” she was cut off with a bout of sickness and quickly ran to a nearby bush to throw up. “Twilight!” Are you okay?” Rainbow had rushed over and was rubbing her back. “No.” She groaned and was slowly lead towards the hospital by a distraught Rainbow. “Princess Twilight what can we do for you today?” The receptionist asked when they finally made it inside. “Need stomach medicine.” She managed to get out. “She’s had a really upset stomach almost everyday after becoming an alicorn. Probably all the stress.” Rainbow finished that last part up quietly. After being led back into a room, nurse Redheart checked her over and took a blood sample. Once she returned with some stomach medicine, she warned Twilight, “Keep in mind princess, we still don’t fully understand alicorn biology so these may not be as effective. As for the bloodwork, it will take a day or two for the results for the same reason.” “Is Twilight going to live?” Rainbow’s fear of hospitals infecting her voice. “Yes Rainbow, she’ll live. Honestly you two should probably talk to Princess Celestial about all this as she knows best about alicorns.” Redheart finished then left the room. Twilight quickly popped one of the pills and felt mildly better. Rainbow then lead Twilight home and decided to stay the night to watch over her. It had been two days since Twilight’s last visit to the hospital with Rainbow. The pills had somewhat helped by allowing her to keep food down but the overall nausea was still there. Today however all of her friends had joined her for the test results since Redheart said it was somewhat shocking news. When Redheart entered the entire group of friends went quiet. “Well Twilight we have your results.” There was a pause. “Congratulations on the foal.” ”The what!?!” Everyone except a shockingly calm Twilight yelled. “I’m sorry could you please tell me what you mean by ‘foal’?” Twilight’s mane frazzled a bit and she ruffled her wings. “Well princess, according to the test you’re with foal. It’s well outside the typical season so we almost missed it but all your symptoms line up.” Redheart read off her clipboard. “I see that’s what I thought you said.” Twilight smiled then immediately passed out. Luckily she was already on a hospital bed so Redheart quickly checked on her and said she just fainted before leaving the room. She didn’t want to get caught up in another Tuesday mess. “Now how in the Sam hill is Twilight, the book princess with foal?” Applejack asked. “Especially before any of us?” “Forget the how, I’d be more interested in the who darling.” Rarity interrupted. “Twilight doesn’t even date let alone interact with stallions.” “I always thought she was into mares.” Fluttershy meekly said as Rainbow nodded. “Same here considering I thought we had a thing going.” Rainbow said shocking the others a bit. Pinkie proceeded to pull out a notebook from her mane and flipped through the pages. “No. Not him. That ones married.” “Pinkie darling whatever are you doing?” Rarity fanned herself with a hoof. “Trying to find out who the daddy could be.” She threw the notebook into the air, pages going everywhere. “But no one fits the bill until season six.” The others ignored that last bit and Fluttershy spoke as Twilight woke back up. “Why don’t we just ask?” “Oh, hey girls. I just had the craziest dream. Nurse Redheart told me I was pregnant. Isn’t that funny?” Her eye twitched a bit. “‘Twasn’t no dream shugarcube.” Applejack gave her a friendly hug that the others joined in as she began to hyperventilate. “So darling I hate to be rude, who’s the father?” Rarity had to break the moment. “That’s just it! I haven’t even been with a stallion before and it’s not like any of you girls could get me pregnant!” Twilight threw her hooves up as they all blushed, they had all helped each other with coolers during heat seasons before but that wouldn’t explain a pregnancy.
