//------------------------------// // Chapter Two // Story: Sweet Apple // by SkyPieIsTheBest //------------------------------// Big Mac runs to the hospital with me on his back. I am not able to fly, for I can't feel my wings. I look above me and I see a white mare with a pink mane. "N-nurse Redheart?" I ask slowly. She puts a wash-cloth to my sweaty head, and she nods. "It's okay Fluttershy. I can tell the baby is strong, but it is early, so it will be small." she says and she walks to the doctor. I smile, and I close my eyes. She then takes my hoof. "Okay, time to get this baby out of you." she says and I smile. The doctor comes over to us. "Okay sweetie all you have to do is push." he yells and I close my eyes. I begin to push, and I feel a sharp pain go through my back. The shot makes me not feel anything. I push again, and I then feel something. I push one more time, and I see a small, light red filly, with a light orange mane. She has freckles, and wings. She wiggles in Nurse Redheart’s hooves. "She's lovely." said Nurse Redheart. She held the filly in a purple blanket. The filly looked so sweet. She looks like a sweet apple. I look at her. "Sh-she is beautiful." I say and Nurse Redheart hands her over to me. I hold her, and she breaths softly. I look at her, and she opens her eyes to look at me. She smiles and I smile back. “My sweet apple, my sweet filly.” I say, and my husband walks in. He sees the baby, and he walks over to me. “What are we going to name her?” he asks me quietly. I look at her and I smile at her. I look back up at Big Mac and I kiss her. “Sweet Apple, we will name my filly Sweet Apple.” I kiss her again, and she smiles at me. Big Mac kisses her and runs his hoof through her soft mane. “That’s a great name.” he says, and he holds her. I slip into a sleep and I have a dream. I see Big Mac in front of me. He looks at me then at my friends. I frown and I walk over to them. “H-hello girls.” I say to them. They smile and they scoot over to let me sit. “So what’s up Flutters?” says Rainbow Dash. “Anything important?” she asks. I look at them and I smile. “Yes, actually, and, well, I. . .” I try to say it. “You alright sugar cube?” asks Applejack. I nod. Then I finally spit it out. “I’m pregnant and Big Mac is the father.” I say. They stare at me, and they smile, all but Applejack. She stares at me. “Y-ya’ gonna be a mom?” she asks. I nod, and give out a sigh. “Yes and Big Mac is going to be the father.” I say again. Applejack’s eyes get red, and she starts crying. She runs off. I fly toward her. I remember this now. I am supposed to turn back, but instead, I fly towards her again. “N-no, Ma’ Pa’! D-don’t leave! I-I aint able to do this alone! I-I love you.” She takes off her at, and cries more. I wake from my dream, and I see Big Mac and the baby gone. They most likely brought her to the delivery room. I see big mac walk inside and he has a camera with him. “I got the video of the girls.” He says and he shows it to me. I watch it and I see Applejack crying. She wasn’t crying with sadness, she was crying with joy. “Fluttershy, if you are seein’ this, then I hope you forgive me. I want to say. . .” she stops. “I’m sorry.” says Applejack. She walks into the room, and she hugs me, “I saw your child, and i-it smiled at me. It looked at me with such amazement and I felt so, happy. I haven’t felt this since Apple Bloom got her cutie mark.” She smiles and hugs me again. Apple Bloom then walked over to me, and, yes, she was sixteen. Her cutie mark is a paint brush painting a green apple. “Howdy Fluttershy, I saw ya’ daughter.” She says and she looks at me proudly. Her mane looked just like Applejacks, and her tail was braided. I smile. “Her name is Sweet Apple, and she is your niece.” I say and Apple Bloom smiles. “May I hold her?” she asks. She grabs the filly, and she sits. She rocks it back and forth. Nurse Redheart comes in and she tells me something. “Fluttershy, we have to operate on your daughter.” She says to me. I stare at her in disbelief. “B-but why?” I ask her wiping the tears of my eyes. She looks at me, and I see her eyes close. “Her wings, they are too small. We can operate on her and get her wings fixed, but she won’t be able to fly for months.” She says and she gets the baby from Apple Bloom. “Um, okay, but she will be able to fly right?” I ask and she nods. “In nine months.” She says and she takes the baby from the operating room. I look at her as she walks away. I start to cry, and Big Mac tries to comfort me. “It’s okay, it’s alright.” He says to me, and I see the doctor come in. “You can leave for the night, your baby is fine in our hooves.” He says, and we leave. I see Applejack crying and she runs home. I then see the rest of my friends walk outside, not knowing the news. “Hey, where’s the baby?” asks Twilight. Pinkie Pie jumps out, and she yells. “Arewegonnahaveanawesomeamazingfunpartyforyournewbaby!” she takes out her party cannon, and she blows it. I cry and finally speak. “N-no, we’re not.” I say. Rarity frowns. “Where is the baby Fluttershy?” she asks me. “Sh-she needs to be operated on."
