I woke up with Twilight in her bed. She was so cute when she slept. I could just watch her forever. But I knew that if I was going to get anything done today I would have to get up. So I did just that as quietly as I could.
I managed to get to the kitchen without waking her so I made myself some oatmeal and took a seat to eat. Only minutes later she came down rubbing her eyes.
“Good morning, sweet.” I said.
“Good morning.” She replied.
“How’d you sleep?” I asked as she got her own bowl of oatmeal.
“It was wonderful.” She noted in a dreamy voice.
“Really? So you’ll be doing it more often?” I asked, this got me a look from her that said ‘really?’
“You perv.” She smacked me lightly as she continued to eat.
The rest of breakfast was in silence… until he came down.
Silver walked in, grabbed a bowl, filled it with oats, and tried to leave as quickly as possible. I caught him on the way out.
“Hey, Silver, where ya off to?” I asked him, he froze.
“Um… I gotta go meet Applejack at the farm. Bye!” he tried to leave again.
“Stop. Right. There.” I said, he did as he was told. “That’s not why you’re in a hurry, is it?” I asked, he seemed to give in at that point.
“No, sir.” He sat down and hung his head.
“Then why are you?”
“To get away from you, sir.” Wow, blunt.
“And why is that?”
“Because I don't want to be interrogated again about my visits with Applejack!”
“I wasn’t trying to.” I defended myself.
“Well, it’s none of your business what Applejack and I do in our relationship! I don't pry into your relationship with Twilight!
“Actually it is.”
“And how is that?”
“Well, you live here, we feed you, and if you’re going to have a foal we need to know so we can compensate.” I told him, equally bluntly.
“You asked me last night.” I had asked him if he was going to have a foal.
“And you didn’t exactly answer, did you?” I asked.
“No, I didn’t. But I still want my lawyer.” Twilight walked over to us.
“Ok, just answer the question.” She said.
"You to? You both sound like parents and keep treating me like a child..." his voice was fill with sadness, but his eyes glimmer with a small amount of joy. "Thank you for looking out for me."
“Yes, now answer.”
“I don’t think that AJ and I are going to have a foal. But we haven’t had her tested yet.” He informed us.
“We should go talk to her about it.” I suggested.
“We should. Silver, eat some breakfast and meet us at the door.” He walked with his head down to obey Twilight’s command while we waited in the library.

I was working on the farm this morning, I had to get up early to tend the southern field, the order we were getting wasn’t getting any smaller, even with Silver’s help. I had finished a dozen of trees when I saw the figures of three ponies walking down the pathway. I walked over and saw one was Silver.
“Hey, Silver!” I yelled to them.
“Hey, AJ!” he yelled back.
We ran to each other and crashed into a loving embrace.
“I hadn’t expected yall ta get here until later. Why ya here so early?” I asked him.
“Well, Fixinit and Twilight wanted to talk to you about something.” He backed off and put his head a little lower than normal.
Just then Twilight and Fixinit walked up next to Silver.
“Hey, guys, what’s so important?” I asked the trio.
“Well, we just wanted to talk to you about having a foal.” Fixinit was kinda blunt with that.
“Um… what?” I was more than a little confused.
“Well, Silver here said that there is the possibility that you two could have a foal and we were here to see if you had tested or not.” Twilight said, more than a little embarrassed.
“Ah haven’t tested for a foal yet, I wasn’t planning on it.” I informed them slowly.
“We think it would be a good idea to.” Fixinit said with a straight face.
“Ah’ll go see a doctor later today, now, if you don’t mind, ah should probably get back to mah apple buckin’.” Wanting to get out of this conversation as fast as possible.
“It would be best if we went now.” Twilight said. “If there is something there we need to start preparations as soon as possible.” She said.
“I have a lot of work to do-”
“No, we’re going now.” She picked me up with magic and started to drag me to the hospital, me protesting the whole way.
-----
“Applejack?” the nurse came out and called my friends name, I levitated her over to the doors the nurse was at.
“Yes, this is her. You may want to restrain her.” I told her as I put the farm pony down.
“We’ll make a note of it.” she assured me as she levitated Applejack further into the hospital.
I went and sat down next to Fixinit again, we all exchanged looks before Fixinit spoke up.
“When did this happen?” he was dead serious.
“When did what happen?” Silver asked.
“When did you even get the chance to have a foal?” he rephrased his question.
“It was a little while ago.” He said, “I don’t remember all the fine details.”
“What do you remember?” the stallion was persistent.
“Well, all I remember, really, was that it was the best night of my life.” He stated vaguely.
“Well, it’s good to remember those kinds of things.” I said, trying to end the conversation before Fixinit loses his cool and beats the poor stallions head in.
“Yeah.” Silver agreed.
We sat in another awkward silence.
“Twilight, do you wanna get checked?” Silver asked out of the blue.
“What?!” me and Fixinit exclaimed at the same time, gaining the attention of several ponies around us.
Lowering our voices he tried to clarify, “well, when Fixinit went upstairs last night he didn’t come back down, and I don’t think Spike’s basket is big enough to hold a full grown stallion.”
“I assure you, nothing happened.” I told him, crossing my hooves.
“If you say so, but I'm just saying.” He finished.
The third awkward silence filled the air between us until the doctor came out.
“Silver!” he called.
