//------------------------------// // The end? // Story: Apart from the rest. // by RustyKat //------------------------------// A few days went by. No one seemed to notice that Xeon was pregnant.... rather they passed it off as him being over weight, like Greythorn. But there was a major diffrence. For some odd reason no one could find out, Xeon seemed a bit uncomfortable as he sat by his post. If anyone were counting the days though, they would of known why. Xeon shifted one hoof to the next akwardly in anxiety. Lately he would feel like something kicked him, but there was no one around. He cringed as he felt an especially hard kick from the foal inside. You know what..... being pregnant sucks..... In an effort to make the hurt go away, he sat down and tried to think of something else, but strangely enough the pain didn't go away. Rather, it came back with a vengence. He gave a wince, and only now was anypony paying attention to how much he hurt. He met his gaze to LightArrow, who still had an unamused expression. Xeon wondered if he ever had any emotions at all. "Xeon." This simple statement was met with a sigh. "You idiot. I told you not to work in this condition." Xeon felt Starboard put him on his back, and give a salute to LightArrow, before he took off at a brisk canteer. "W...where are.... we going?" Xeon asked with another cringe. "Sir, you are in a medical emergency... therefore you are going to the hospital." Medical emergency? Wait.... is there something wrong with my baby? Xeon regretted the fact he hadn't finished the book Dr. Stable had given him. His thoughts were soon interrupted as they entered the hospital. Starboard came up to the receptionist calmly. "Mam, this stallion on my back is going to have a baby." The receptionist gave him a look like he was crazy, and raised an eyebrow at Xeon. "Do you really expect me to-" Her sentence was cut off by Dr. Stable as he came into the room. "Ah... Xeon. A little earlier than expected..." He took Xeon in his magic. "Nurse CloudSpice, and Dr. Clockwork." The two stallions came as called. "Meet me in the Maternity ward." And with that, he left briskly with Xeon in his magic. "I guess you stay here for your weird friend." The receptionist said to Starboard.
