//------------------------------// // Not Quite Sure // Story: Rainbow's tears // by unicorn2445 //------------------------------// “Oh so that is what I was meant to be seeing” I said not quite sure “Rainbow I am surprised that you aren’t shocked by this. I mean what about your career. Isn’t your next performance soon? You are a wonder bolt.” Flutter shy says anxiously “I will tell you later. In the meantime Nurse Red Heart I know you are shocked at my reaction as well but I would like to know if this will cost me anything or not.” I ask with a smug smile. “Oh um of course we will send the bill to your manager. Well uh have a nice day then Rainbow Dash.” Nurse Red Heart says with pure shock. “You too let’s go flutter shy.” I say whilst leaving the room. “Oh yes right away. Thanks Nurse Red Heart for your time.” flutter shy says with a look of worry. “No problem. I will see you later.” Nurse Red Heart says. Walking through the corridor to the reception neither of us says a word. We walk to the reception and I say “The cost of this checkup will be covered by my Manager.” “Ok then That will be sent to your manager. Have a nice day. Oh wait did you want to book an ultrasound at 3 months?” The reception asks with a smile on my face. Flutter shy goes to say something but I butt in and say “That won’t be necessary but if it is I will be sure to call the hospital to book one in.” “What are you doing Rainbow? Shouldn’t you get an ultrasound?” She whispers to me. “I will tell you later.” I whisper with a look of urgency on my face. “OK then you are all good to go. Have a wonderful day.” Says the reception Lady with a fake smile. My first thought is to say stop fake smiling I can see right through the mask but instead I force a smile and say “You too.” We both walk out of the reception room and out onto the path. The sun shining on my face I smile and flap my wings a bit. Before we could even start walking down the path Flutter shy turns to me and asks with a pure look of concern on her face “Why won’t you book in an ultrasound you are pregnant for Ponies sake.” With a look of are you serious I explain “Well for one thing we should get a pregnancy test kit first and use one of them what if she just saw something else. Even though it is possible to have a foal I still want to use one of them first.” “Phew. You had me worried there for a second. I thought you were going to do this solo or even run away so people didn’t know you were pregnant.” She says with a look of relief on her face. “Well I’m not so let’s go and get a kit.” I say. On the way there I notice the trees around me and wonder what it would be like to have a foal. Even though I knew it was true I still wanted to make sure that it was true. I know I am in denial but if I am pregnant what about my career and I am not really a motherly person. I know I have Applejack but still. “Where here.”Fluttershy says. I swallow down a lump that was building in my throat this whole time from trying not to cry. “Ok let’s go in” I say. We open the door and we hear a jingle from the bell hanging over the door. The whole building is full of products. The walls painted a greyish color. A pony stands at the desk waving us over. “Hello how may I help you?” The old pony says. “Oh well we would like to buy a pregnancy test kit.” I say. I can tell I am blushing. “No need to be embarrassed dear it happens sometimes.” She says with a look of knowing on her face. “Oh well, ok then how much will one cost?” “10 bits darlings I will go and get a kit for you from the back.” She says. We watch her walk to the back and we hear rustling. A few seconds later we see her walking slowly back to the counter she says “so who is paying.” “Here you go. It’s on me rainbow.” Fluttershy says. “Thanks for your payment have a nice day.” The old pony says. I grab the bag “Thanks Fluttershy.” We walk out of the pharmacist and head to Flutter shy’s place whilst crossing the bridge Fluttershy asks me “What are you really afraid of Rainbow?” “What??” I say with guilt on my face. The whole way here to her cottage I had been worrying about what Applejack would say. “I know your scared off something. What is it you can tell me you know?” She says with a gentle voice. I sit down on the path and stay there. 10 minutes past and I finally answer her “Well what if Applejack doesn’t want a foal? What if she hates me from now on? What if I am not ready?” “Well as you said before what if what the nurse said wasn’t right? Let’s go and find out.” I nod my head and mutter to myself “It will be ok.” We walk the final steps up to the cottage and enter. The cottage is full of animals but you can’t blame Flutter shy this was who she was born to be. ************************************************************************************************************************** 10 minutes later. *************************************************************************************************************************** “Are you nervous Rainbow? Your hands have been shaking for 5 minutes how are you meant to tell if you are pregnant?” Fluttershy says with a sigh. “Well. I don’t know. Okay I will settle down.” I promise. I breathe in and out and place the cylinder test on the coffee table. We sit there waiting… when will this damn thing show up. I pick up the test and Fluttershy gives me a reassuring look. I look at the little part of the test which will tell me if I am pregnant. There on the test is a pink cross. “Fluttershy, it’s true I am pregnant.” I say with shock.
