I felt a gentle breeze brush over my skin from the open window. My hearing slowly returned as I gently opened my eyes. Beside me was my girlfriend, sleeping away peacefully. Her face looked gorgeous and serene as always, a smile spread on her lips. I moved slightly only to look down and feel her arms wrapped tightly around my body. She sure missed me huh? I thought. I gave a smile of my own and continued to look at her some more while the sun glistened off her smooth, silky hair. I caressed her face gently. Her eyes fluttered open slowly, meeting with mine.
“Good morning, milady,” I greeted in a whisper.
Adagio gave her own small, warm smile. “Good morning, my prince,” she replied.
“I haven’t slept this well since you left for Prance a week ago,” she muttered.
“Me neither. I’ve been missing you every day and every night,” I replied. She moved closer and pecked me on the lips.
“I’ve missed your touch... your taste,” she mumbled sultrily. I felt my cheeks warm up from the comment, and I let out a nervous chuckle.
“Um, yeah… me too,” I replied nervously. I was unsure how to respond. She giggled as she noticed. Adagio raised her body up and clambered on top, her weight pinned me down as her hands landed on my shoulders. She leaned her face in closer.
“You know, it’s only morning. Maybe we can continue where we left off?” she asked, batting her eyes seductively. I felt my blush intensify at her forward manner. I gazed into her eyes, unsure how to respond. Suddenly, she leaned down and closed the distance from my lips. I moaned as she slid her tongue inside my mouth. I retaliated quickly and fiercely with my own tongue as my arms automatically wrapped around her back, caressing it. Adagio released a long, satisfied moan before pulling away, a small strand of saliva still connecting us. I felt a rush of blood travel around my body.
“I’ve missed you so much,” she whispered into my ears. She pulled away and sat up.
Please don’t go there, I thought worriedly. As if Faust heard me, Adagio unfortunately slid a hand back. She looked at me with a seductive smirk spread on her lips.
“My, my, aren’t we excited?”
I blushed. Adagio leaned back in for another kiss. I moved in to meet her halfway only to be caught off guard by an unexpected event. I could smell a rancid stench and feel a horrible taste in my mouth. I felt warm and wet everywhere on my upper body. I opened my eyes slowly and saw I was covered in Adagio’s contents and stomach bile. I looked up to see Adagio still on top of me. She jumped off of me and dashed for the bathroom, leaving me covered in her sick. “Eeeeewwwww,” I groaned. I shook off my own disgust and decided to go and comfort her; I got up and followed Adagio to the bathroom. There she was, leaning on the sink as she let loose more from her stomach. I approached and patted her on the back gently to ease her discomfort as much as I could.
“There, there. Let it all out,” I soothed. Despite being thrown up on and being in a messy state, I honestly didn’t care. I always wanted to tend to the needs of others before my own, especially for my girlfriend, who was carrying a baby. Our baby. I can understand her situation and put up with it. Adagio slowly stood up and took deep breaths.
“You okay?” I asked.
She nodded in response. “S-sorry for throwing up on you,” she apologized in embarrassment.
“It’s fine,” I waved off.
She raised an eyebrow. “I just threw up on you and in your mouth and that’s okay with you?” I just nodded. “Some fetish you have,” she teased. I chuckled at her sense of humor. “You should get yourself cleaned up,” she pointed out sheepishly. “You’ve got my sick all over you, not to mention you reek out of my courtesy.”
I chuckled once again. “Aye, ma’am. You should brush your teeth and get some rest. Don’t want your beautiful smile to disappear, now do we?” I teased in return. She giggled.
“Alright, now get in the shower. I’ll go after you,” Adagio reminded. Adagio grabbed her brush and began brushing her teeth clean as I stood there. She gazed at me in confusion.
“What’re you standing there for? Checking me out?” she said seductively, a hand on her hip.
“On the contrary, I’m just waiting for you to finish so I can get out of my clothes,” I drawled, my cheeks burning further. Adagio let out a soft laugh.
“Oh come on. We’ve had sex and seen each other naked, yet you can’t have the audacity to take off your clothes because I’m standing here?” she asked. Adagio grew a devious smirk as she approached me with a sway to her hips. She ran a finger up from my neck to my chin teasingly.
“Why? Afraid that I’ll look and see something?” she whispered, emphasising on the last word. I felt my face heat up, and I looked away, embarrassed. Adagio giggled as she noticed.
“Oh, quit being such a baby. Come on, time for you to go in the shower,” she urged. I thought over her words, still hesitating but reluctantly did so. I slowly lifted my shirt over my head and let it fall to the floor as I proceeded to remove the lower parts of my clothing, leaving me in my boxers. Adagio let out a whistle.
“Oh my, what do we have here?” Adagio muttered. I felt her hand travel down as she stopped at my waistline. Adagio had half-lidded eyes as I looked into them. I felt aroused by her actions but I stopped myself. I went into the shower whilst keeping my boxers on.
“Oh come on!” Adagio whined. Once I was inside, I took them off and left it on the floor. Before I could turn on the shower, I heard Adagio sniffing. I looked outside the cubicle and saw her figure holding my boxers. What the hell?
I blushed. “Mmmmm. Smells manly,” she teased.
At this rate, I might not be able to contain myself, I thought. Fortunately, I heard the door closing, and I sighed in relief and turned on the shower head and began cleaning myself of the horrid stench.
I missed Adagio and everything about her, but she’s been increasingly more intimate than during the times our relationship was a secret. I shook my thoughts out of my head and enjoyed the calmness of the water. Other thoughts began flooding my mind. The day I had come back from Prance yesterday was the time I had found out Adagio was pregnant. Our child. A living thing that was nestling inside her, depending on her to live until it comes into the world.
I grew nervous as other thoughts rushed to my mind. I’m nervous about everything. Will I be a good father? Will it love me? Will I be able to care and give the love it needs? How will our parents react? I thought worriedly. Our friends knew and they’ve accepted the fact that Adagio and I were in a relationship, even further, happy that we were going to have a baby.
“Daddy!” a voice out of nowhere spoke in my mind. I shook my head and turned off the shower after I was done. I stepped out of the cubicle and reached for the towel nearby and draped it around my waist as I grabbed my discarded clothes from the floor. I twisted the handle only to be met with surprise.
“Morning, Clavi!” Pinkie exclaimed. I jumped back in shock and fell as the towel slipped. Out of instinct, I grabbed the towel and covered myself with it, panting hard.
“PINKIE! WHAT IN TARTARUS ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I bellowed. Pinkie kept the same grin on her face.
“I just wanted to say good morning. Is that so bad?” she asked. I groaned mentally at her obliviousness. I took in deep breaths to calm myself down.
“Of course not! But couldn’t you wait downstairs rather than jumping out in front of me? Especially when I’m almost naked!” I snapped.
“Oh. Oopsie-daisy! I didn’t think of that. Sorry!” The next thing I knew, Pinkie disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving the bedroom door wide open. I closed the door behind me tightly.
WHAT. THE. HELL. Pinkie’s randomness was out of control. I locked the door to ensure no one could get in. Satisfied, I dressed back into my clothes and unlocked the door, making my way downstairs to the kitchen only to find no one.
“We’re in the living room, love,” Adagio called out. I returned where I came from and made my way to the living room.
“What in tarnation was with the yellin’ upstairs, sugarcube?” Applejack asked. I scanned the room and spotted Pinkie Pie who waved with a sheepish grin. I gave a stern glare to the pink girl.
“Pinkie suddenly jumped me when I came out of the bathroom,” I stated. The girls gasped, especially my girlfriend who also gave her a cold stare, making Pinkie even more nervous.
“So that’s where you went off to,” Sunset muttered. “What were you doing upstairs in Adagio’s room anyway?”
“I wanted to say good morning to Clavi!”
I facepalmed. “You could have waited for me to come downstairs at least.”
“I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to wait outside the door, scare you, and see you almost naked!” Pinkie exclaimed. The girls released another series of gasps. Adagio looked at Pinkie and grunted, moving her hand under her throat. Pinkie responded with a sheepish nod. I cleared my throat to ease the situation to normal.
“So!” I started. “Good morning to you all, ladies,” I greeted.
“Morning, Clavier,” the girls replied in unison.
“What’s the occasion?” Adagio asked.
“We wanted to ask if you both would like to hang out today,” Sunset explained. “I figured Adagio could use some fresh air after being cooped up for so long.” I raised an eyebrow whilst looking at Adagio.
“You think?” Adagio retorted, crossing her arms under her chest. Sunset gave a nervous chuckle.
“We were just trying to help. Now that we know the reason, I figured it’s best you spend most of your time outside.” Adagio nodded.
“Can I invite Flash over?” I asked.
“He’s in Manehattan right now,” Sunset replied. “He should be back today but I’m not sure when.”
“Oh.” I’ll leave him a text later. I’ve got some things to talk to him about.
“Well, shall we then, ladies?” I gestured as I stood up. They nodded and walked out of the living room towards the front door.
“After you, dearest,” I gestured to Adagio. She giggled and grabbed my hand.
“Why, thank you.” We left Adagio’s house and made our way down to the public park. Adagio and I walked along with the girls, hand in hand. Finally, we could walk amongst our friends without any secrets, although there is the concern on revealing the truth to our parents; one I’d rather not think about due to the possible outcomes. We finally made it to the park and sat down on the grass as the sun shined brightly.
“What a beautiful day. Shame, I’ve been missing out the past few days,” Adagio muttered.
“Yeah, but it's not as beautiful as you,” I told her. She looked at me and gave a smile. I noticed a faint shade of red on her cheeks.
“You’re so sweet.”
“Literally or figuratively?” I teased, winking at her. Her cheeks grew into a deeper red.
“Um… both?”
I let out a chuckle. “I’m just messing with you.” Adagio gave a playful shove causing me to laugh.
“Aw, it’s so sweet to see you both expressing your love,” Sunset said.
“I concur,” Rarity added. “Might I dare say you both make a perfect couple.”
“Thanks, girls. We appreciate the support,” I replied. They replied with warm smiles that filled my heart with happiness.
“So, did Clavier come by in the morning or sleep over?” Rainbow asked. The mention of my name caught my attention.
“Why does that matter?” I asked curiously.
“Just curious. Bow-chika-wow-wow,” Rainbow said with a teasing grin. I felt my cheeks flare up quickly.
“Rainbow! Where are your manners!” Rarity scolded.
“You’re such a nympho,” Adagio added.
Rainbow huffed as she looked away, crossing her arms.
“Geez, has Rainbow always been like this?” I asked.
“Not really,” Twilight replied.
“I see.” We sat and laid in the grass as we enjoyed the warmth of the sun. Suddenly, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and opened it, and saw I got a message from my father:
"Hey son. Sorry if your mother and I were unable to come pick you up from the airport yesterday. We’ve been pretty busy with rehearsals lately so I hope you understand. Anyway, your mother and I were wondering if you’d like to watch our performance with Dulcet and Flux tomorrow? It’ll be at the Canterlot Grand Musical Theatre tomorrow in the afternoon, 5PM. Please reply as soon as you can so I can reserve a space for you and Adagio. Love, Dad" - Grand
I smiled at my father’s message. Of course I can understand. Being a well known-figure throughout Canterlot is an honor, yet a demanding role. I just wish I could spend more time with them. I sighed.
“Are you okay, Clavier?” Adagio asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just got a text from dad,” I assured.
“Oh! What’d he say?” Pinkie asked happily. The girls turned their attention towards me.
“Dad wanted to apologize for not being able to pick me up at the airport. It’s no big deal to me. I can understand their roles as celebrities. I just wish I could see them more often.”
“Me too,” Adagio sighed.
“Anyway, Dad’s invited Adagio and me to watch their performance tomorrow at the Canterlot Grand Musical Theatre in the afternoon at 5 p.m. Your parents will be a part of it too,” I explained.
Adagio’s eyes lit up like golden stars. “I’d love to go! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen one of my parent’s performances. But what about the girls?”
“They can come along too,” I assured, smiling.
“Are you sure? I mean, we don’t want to impose,” Sunset replied.
“Yes, your father specifically invited you and Adagio,” Rarity added.
.
I chuckled and flashed her a reassuring smile. “Nonsense. I’m sure Dad will be fine if we bring you all along. You’re our friends after all.”
Applejack shrugged. “If ya say so. Thank ya kindly.”
“Thank you, Clavier. That’s quite generous of you,” Rarity added.
“Yeah, you really didn’t have to, but thanks a lot for the offer. We’d love to go,” Twilight said. The rest of the girls nodded in response.
“I’d love to go! Is there going to be a party after? Huh?! Huh?! HUH?! Because I’d love to party! WOOHOO!” Pinkie exclaimed, her face inches away from mine. Adagio pulled the party-crazed girl off of me.
“No, there won’t be a party, Pinkie Pie. It’ll be a musical performance only,” I stated.
“Aww!” Pinkie whined. I chuckled at her child-like behaviour. Oh goodness. How Pinkie can light up my day sometimes, I thought, smiling inside.
“I’ll let him know right away.” I gazed back to my phone and began typing away on the screen.
“Hey Dad. It’s quite alright. I can understand so don’t worry. Now about the performance, Adagio and I would love to go, but we’d like to bring our friends along. I’d hate to leave them behind. Thanks and hope to see you all soon.” - Clavier
I pressed ‘Send’ and sat back waiting for a reply. “I sent it. Fingers crossed.”
“So, Clavier, Adagio. What’re your plans now?” Twilight asked. I looked at her in confusion.
“Could you elaborate?”
“What I meant was, what are your plans now that you’re on the path to parenthood?”
“Oh.” I scratched the back of my head, unsure how to respond. “To be honest, I’m not really sure. I’m hoping for things to come naturally. I’m still trying to get used to the news and how I’m going to bear with it,” I replied. Twilight nodded, satisfied by the answer.
“I’m sure you two would be just fine.” said Sunset.
“Yeah, I hope so.” I let out a sigh.
“Enough of that. Yer great with kids, yer responsible, and ya definitely have commitment as far as I know from ya,” Applejack mentioned. I looked at her and smiled.
“Thanks, Applejack. That means a lot.” Applejack returned her own smile. I felt Adagio’s hand wrap around mine and squeezed it tightly. I looked at her and smiled as she did the same.
“Aww, could you imagine what the baby would look like? It’ll be soooo cute!” Fluttershy exclaimed.
“I’m sure it would. The baby would probably get that from his or her father,” she said, referring to me.
“No, more like from their mother,” I countered. Adagio giggled.
“Oh! Can I throw parties for the little guy?” Pinkie added.
“Sure. You know we love your parties,” I replied with a smile.
“Darling, if it’s not too much to ask, could I make dresses for the baby?” Rarity asked.
Adagio’s face lit up. “Of course! I’m sure the baby would appreciate your work,” she said, grinning.
“Thank you!” the fashionista beamed.
I gazed at the girls. We’re lucky to have friends who’ll be there to support us. I couldn’t ask for any better. I sighed in bliss at the positive turn of events.
“You okay?” Applejack asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Just relaxing,” I waved off. My phone buzzed in my hand. I switched it on and checked to see a reply from Dad:
“Of course you can! The more the merrier! How many are you bringing along?” - Grand
“Eight. Seven girls and Flash. He should be back today” - Clavier
“Ah, that’s great! I’ll let security know you, Adagio, Flash, and your friends will get reserved VIP seats. Can’t wait to see you soon! Love Dad” - Grand
I switched off my phone and turned my attention back to the girls.
“Clavier? Did Grand reply?” Adagio ask.
I nodded. “Yeah, he said it’s fine. I’ve informed him there will be eight friends going with Adagio and me.”
“Eight?” Twilight asked.
“Yeah, I nearly forgot about Flash. I don’t want to leave him behind. Besides, he’s a long time friend of the family,” I explained.
Twilight nodded. “That makes sense.”
“Furthermore, we’ll be getting VIP seats. Best view in the house,” I added. The girls gasped in shock.
“V-V-VIP?!” Rarity shrieked, standing up. I nodded which caused her to faint dramatically. I caught her in my arms before she could hit the grass. I gently laid her down as Applejack and Rainbow laughed.
“Wow. Drama queen as always. Typical Rarity,” Rainbow said.
I sat back down next to Adagio. I felt her hand squeeze mine, painfully tightly. I looked at her to see what’s wrong. Argh! She’s got a death grip!
“Clavier…” Adagio whispered menacingly.
“W-what?” I whispered back. “Are you jealous?” I asked. Adagio released my hand and crossed her arms, huffing as she looked the other way.
“Oh come on. Don’t tell me you’re jealous,” I teased. Adagio grunted.
“Come on. You know I love you,” I teased again. I wrapped my arms around her and nuzzled my face between her neck and shoulder. Adagio giggled.
“Clavi, stooooop,” Adagio whined playfully.
“Get a room you two,” Rainbow groaned. I pulled away, blushing madly.
“Oh get real, Rainbow. Let them have their fun,” Applejack said with a smirk.
Not you too, I groaned mentally.
“I think it’s cute,” Sunset spoke up. The other girls hummed in agreement. I pulled away from Adagio.
“Way to ruin it, Rainbow,” Applejack snapped. I felt Adagio’s arms wrap around me.
“Oh, pwease don’t be mad,” Adagio teased. I couldn’t help but chuckle at her cute, playful tone.
“You’re twenty percent more cute when you do that, you know?” I mentioned. Adagio tightened her hug.
“Hey! Only I can say if something’s twenty percent cooler or something!” Rainbow complained. I rolled my eyes at her behaviour. My phone vibrated once again in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw it was Flash. I instantly accepted and held it to my ear.
“Hey, man.”
“Hey buddy! Glad to hear your voice!” Flash’s voice came from the other side of the line.
“Yeah, you too. What’s up? Where are you now?” I asked.
“I just got back right now from Manehattan. Where are you?”
“We’re down at Harmonic Park. We’ll be heading back soon. Would you like to meet up?”
“Yeah sure. I’ll see you then.”
“Alright, I’ll see you then. We’ll be waiting. We’ve got a lot to talk about.” I ended the call.
“Who was that?” Adagio asked.
“That was Flash. He’s back from Manehattan. I think I’ll head back home and meet up with him.”
“What time is it?” Rainbow asked.
I checked the time on my phone. “Two o’clock,” I said.
“What?! Already?” I nodded. “Wow, time’s gone quick.”
“Alright, let’s go!” Twilight exclaimed. She jumped up and began running for the gate.
“Wait up!” I called out but it was too late.
Man, Twilight’s like an out of control dog sometimes. I began running after her as the girls followed.
After running for some time, we made it back outside my house while Twilight stood there panting.
“Geez, Twilight! What got you so worked up?” Rainbow asked.
“Nothing. Just excited,” Twilight said nonchalantly.
Oh, I know why, I thought teasingly. I reached for my keys and opened the door to my house, holding the door open for the girls.
“Come in and make yourselves at home,” I gestured. The girls did so and thanked me whereas Adagio pecked me on the cheek instead. I shrugged it off and followed the girls who sat down in my living room. Pinkie Pie as usual, began jumping around the couches.
“WEEEEEEE!” Pinkie exclaimed happily. I shook my head.
“Pinkie! Please, sit down!” Twilight commanded. Pinkie whined and sat down as she was told.
“Adagio, Clavier. Are you going to tell your parents? If so, when?” Sunset asked. Her question caught my attention. There was a lingering silence in the atmosphere for a while. I sighed and decided to break the silence.
“Tomorrow after the performance. I’m going to because I have to. I don’t want to hide something from my parents and lose their trust in me. Adagio and I have kept our relationship a secret from you all and that’s bad enough. This time, we’ll be honest,” I explained. I took Adagio’s hand into mine and squeezed it gently.
“Yeah. Besides, they’re going to be grandparents. I’m most worried about how they’ll react to the news out of everyone else so far,” Adagio mumbled, sighing. I wrapped my arm around her to keep her comfortable.
“Hmmm. Ah guess ah can imagine from their point o’ view. If ah was yer momma, I’d be shocked to be blunt with ya, but ah’d be there to support y’all, ” Applejack assured. I gave her a smile which she returned.
“I don’t know,” Rainbow trailed. “You two slept together in the bed. Bow-chika-wow-wow.” I rolled my eyes.
“Can you please stop saying that?” I asked.
“Saying what?” she asked in return.
“You know…”
“What? Bow-chika-wow-wow?”
“Yes!” I snapped.
“Geez. It’s only a phrase,” Rainbow said huffing.
“Well, you’re making me uncomfortable is what it is,” I grumbled. Rainbow rolled her eyes. There was a loud rumble within the room. All eyes turned towards Adagio, who gave a sheepish grin.
“I think I could use some food. I’m hungry.”
“I’ll go make you something. Stay here.” I stood up and left Adagio with the girls as I made for the kitchen. I decided to make Adagio’s favourite snack, a marmite sandwich, and went to pour her a glass of water. I grabbed the plate and the glass as I made my way back. I laid down the food for Adagio by the table in the middle of the living room.
“Thanks, Clavi,” Adagio said gratefully, giving me a peck on the cheek. Adagio reached for the sandwich and began wolfing it down. I couldn’t help but admire how cute she looked. Adagio caught my gaze and gave a questioning look.
“What?” she asked. I chuckled some more.
“Nothing, you just look adorable the way you eat,” I stated. Adagio nodded, a faint blush on her cheeks as she resumed eating her food.
“That reminds me. Did you ask Dr. Whooves why you seem to be craving for food lately, especially sugar?” Twilight asked.
The mention of Dr. Whooves caught my attention. Old memories came flooding back to me from when I was a child. I haven’t seen the old timer in quite a while. I should pay him a visit sometime.
Adagio popped the last piece of her sandwich and gulped down the glass of her water. Geez, that was quick, I thought, chuckling to myself mentally. Adagio released a satisfied sigh.
“Oh, yes. Dr. Whooves said that pregnancy causes your body to demand more vitamins and nutrients. This is to satisfy my own body as well as the baby,” she explained.
“I see. I know you’re pregnant, but what’s causing you to vomit every morning?”
“It’s the amount of hormones circulating my body,” Adagio explained. “It usually starts at six weeks. Four at the earliest. In my case, if later, at seven. I’m supposed to experience this for the first trimester.”
The girls cringed at this. The thought of having to wake up to an unpleasant feeling is probably one of the worst things a female, or anyone, can go through. I can’t sympathize with the idea, but I can’t help but imagine what females during pregnancy will have to go through, especially labour.
“Are you going to have another appointment? If so, when?” I asked.
“Every three or four weeks,” Adagio replied.
“I’ll be there with you,” I said, taking her hand into my own. Adagio smiled and grabbed me by the shoulders. The next thing I knew, her lips met mine, much to my surprise. I blushed furiously at her forward manner, especially in front of the girls who sat there letting out a collective “aww”. Adagio finally withdrew and gave a teasing smirk. I covered my face to hide my embarrassment, causing the girls to “aww” again.
“Aww, you look so cute when you’re all flustered,” Rainbow teased.
“S-shut up!” I groaned. The girls burst into giggles. I continued to hide my face from view until the girls finally came to a stop. We sat there in the living room as time passed by, enjoying each other’s company, especially my girlfriend’s.
DING! DONG!
The bell rang, indicating there was someone at the door. I think that might be Flash.
“I’ll get it.” I stood up instantly and left the girls once again. I opened the door to reveal that my thoughts were correct.
“Hey, man!” I greeted.
“Hey, buddy. How’s it going?” Flash greeted in return. We moved in for a brotherly hug, patting each other on the back.
“Come in and make yourself at home,” I offered. Flash thanked me as I helped to bring his luggage with him.
“Just got back?” I asked.
“Yeah. The flight took longer than expected. Turbulence,” he said.
“Darn. Hope it wasn’t too bad,” I said worriedly.
“Nah, it was minor. So, is it just you or are the girls here?” Flash asked.
“They’re here. You can leave your luggage there for now. Come on.” Flash left his luggage near the stairs as I gestured for him to follow me to the living room where the girls were busily engaged in conversation. I cleared my throat as I entered the room with Flash following. All eyes trained on me. I noticed Twilight’s eyes glistened with happiness.
“Flash!” Twilight exclaimed. She jumped off the couch and dashed towards Flash. Flash grunted at the impact as Twilight wrapped her arms around him. Judging by his expression, Twilight was clinging on tightly, making Flash unable to breath properly. I stood there smirking.
“H-hey, Twi. U-um? C-could you… you get off… me… please? Can’t… breathe,” Flash wheezed. Twilight withdrew instantly, blushing.
“Your girlfriend’s missed you, Flash. Cut her some slack,” I teased. Flash and Twilight blushed furiously and looked away from each other.
“S-she’s not my girlfriend!” Flash shouted.
“W-what he said!” Twilight added.
I smirked further. Keep denying all you want, I thought to myself. The girls let out collective ‘awws’ around the room.
“You two would make such a sweet couple!” Rarity said gleefully. The girls giggled in response at Rarity’s comment, causing Flash to turn around and hide his embarrassment.
“W-whatever! Nice to see you guys too,” Flash huffed. I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“We’re just joking, right girls?” I said with a teasing tone. I winked at Adagio, hoping she’d catch on, which she did. The girls nodded in response. Flash rolled his eyes as Twilight sat back down.
I think I should tell Flash. I’d hate to keep the news hidden from him just as Adagio and I’ve been hiding our relationship.
“Hey, Flash. Can I talk to you for a minute?” I asked.
“Sure.”
“Let’s go to the backyard.” Flash nodded as I walked out of the room with him to my backyard. I sat down on a bench, and Flash sat next to me.
“So what did you want to talk to me about?”
I breathed in deeply. “You know how you used to say I’d make a good dad before?” I began.
“Yeah?” Flash said in confusion. “Where are you going with this?”
“Flash.” I paused for some moments. “I’m going to be a father.” Flash’s eyes widened in shock and surprise.
“WHHHAATTTTT!” Flash yelled. I had to cover my ears.
[Adagio Dazzle’s P.O.V.]
“WHHHAATTTTT!” I heard a yell from outside. The girls stood up in alert.
“W-what was that?” Fluttershy asked worriedly.
“OW!” I heard the voice cry out in pain.
“It’s probably nothing,” I said. The girls reluctantly sat back down.
“So, what’re you hoping to expect, Dagi?” Sunset asked. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. “I mean, would you prefer a boy or a girl?” she emphasized. I placed a finger under my chin as I thought.
“Hmmm. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind. I’d love it all the same,” I replied. Sunset smiled, satisfied by the answer.
“That’s so cute. You’d make a great mother, no doubt,” Sunset stated.
“Thanks. I hope so too. I’m nervous about all this.”
Applejack patted my lap comfortingly. “You’ll be alright, sugarcube. We’ll be here for ya all the way,” she assured me. I smiled at her kind honesty. A moment later, Clavier and Flash re-entered the room.
“Did you two hear that yelling earlier?” I asked.
“It was Flash,” Clavier explained, gesturing with his thumb.
“Sorry, I couldn’t help it,” he whimpered. The girls giggled.
“Were you the one who shouted in pain as well, darling?” Rarity asked. Flash nodded.
Rainbow began laughing. “You need to man up,” she teased.
“H-hey! I’m a man!” Flash whined.
“Ya don’t seem to be actin’ like one,” Applejack pointed out. Flash pouted, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
My stomach began to rumble again, and I grinned sheepishly. “Um, could you get me some more food, baby? I’m hungry,” I requested. Clavier chuckled.
“Sure thing, honey. I’ll be right back. Anyone else want something?”
“I’d like a lettuce sandwich, please,” Fluttershy asked.
“And I, as well,” Rarity added.
“I don’t know. Got anything ya think ah might like?” Applejack asked.
“I got some apple fritters I bought yesterday,” Clavier noted. Applejack’s eyes lit up.
“I’m down fer sum!”
“Ooh! I want some cookies!” Pinkie exclaimed.
“I’m fine, thanks,” Sunset declined politely. Twilight and Rainbow did the same.
“Flash?”
“I’m, fine thanks.”
“I’ll be right back, guys.” Clavier left the room.
“I’ll go help him out,” Flash said. He left the room as well.
“You’re so lucky to have Clavier,” said Sunset.
“Yeah. I don’t know how I deserve him. He’s just wonderful in many ways,” I said dreamily.
“Are you kidding! I mean, look at you. You’re totally hot!” Rainbow mentioned. All eyes trained on the sporty girl, and she smiled sheepishly.
“I wasn’t implying anything! Just saying!” she defended. We giggled at her reaction.
“Not to mention that yer kind,” Applejack added.
“Gorgeous,” Rarity declared.
“Caring,” Fluttershy said.
“Smart,” Twilight added.
“And most of all, you have a beautiful voice. There’s just too much to list,” Sunset finished.
“Thanks, girls. That means a lot.” I smiled at them all and moved in for a group hug before pulling away.
“Heck, if Clavier cares for you so much, ah’m sure he’d treat the little un’ like royalty,” Applejack said. I giggled at the thought of Clavier being a servant to our child.
“Yeah. I’m sure he would.”
For the rest of the day, we enjoyed each other’s company once again. I’ve never felt more happy in my life so far, I thought happily. Evening struck as we sat around in Clavier’s living room.
“Oh! I forgot to mention, Flash. Dad’s inviting you over to watch their performance tomorrow. Would you like to go? We’ve been given reserved VIP seats.” Flash’s eyes lit up.
“Yeah! I’d love to go!” Flash exclaimed.
“What time was it again?” Sunset asked.
“Five p.m. tomorrow,” I answered. Sunset and the other girls pulled out their phones and began typing out the details. “There. All set,” she said with a nod. “Shall we meet up an hour before we go tomorrow?” The girls, Flash, and I nodded in response.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll be heading back home for some sleep,” Twilight said.
“Meeting adjourned!” Pinkie declared. Everyone turned to look at her. “What? I always wanted to say that.”
I shook my head and stood up to go upstairs. What a day. Clavier led the girls out the door as we waved goodnight to them.
“Flash, you can sleep here for tonight if you’d like. You just got back, so get some rest,” Clavier offered.
“Thanks man.” Clavier smiled and nodded as Flash went upstairs to the spare guest room.
“Goodnight, Flash!” I called out.
“Night, guys!” Flash called back.
“Well, well, well. Looks like it’s just you and me,” Clavier whispered, taking my hands into his.
“Yeah. Is there… anything you’d like to do?” I said teasingly, giving a wink.
“Would you like to… sleep with me tonight?” Clavier asked, blushing furiously. I gasped lightly, feeling a blush on my own cheeks, but nodded.
“Of course. Take me to your room, my prince,” I said, giggling quietly as not to disturb Flash.
“I shall.” Clavier let go of my hands and lifted me off the floor and into his arms.
So strong, I thought. Clavier walked up the stairs as he carried me into his arms while I opened the door to his room with my free hand. He gently laid me down on the bed. I sat up and began taking off my clothes. I let them fall onto the floor, leaving me in my undergarments. I pulled Clavier down onto the bed and rolled him over, leaving me on top.
“W-whoa,” he gasped. I grabbed him by the shoulders and began fiercely kissing him on the lips. Clavier responded fiercely as we fought for dominance. We pulled away shortly to catch some breath.
“W-what’re you doing?” he asked. I furrowed an eyebrow in confusion.
“You said you wanted to sleep together tonight?”
“Oh, yeah. But not that kind of ‘sleep’,” he said, chuckling nervously.
Wow. I feel stupid now. I groaned and slapped myself mentally.
“What else did you think I meant?” he said playfully.
“N-nothing!” I said.
“Sure.”
“Whatever.” I rolled my eyes and lay down on my boyfriend’s chest as I began to feel drowsy.
“U-um. Dagi?” Clavier’s voice spoke faintly. Too tired to reply, I yawned and allowed the darkness in the room to lull me into unconsciousness.
