//------------------------------// // The Birth of the Twins // Story: Cap U's Drunken MacDash Ramblings // by Jake The Army Guy //------------------------------// Mac was by no means a slow stallion. Sure, he didn't talk much, but he knew a great amount of things thanks to the drive to read. Reading had helped him many times in the past, from how to plant seeds, taking care of livestock, and best of it all, it had helped him get with the mare of his dreams. The mare of his dreams that was threatening to castrate him. "Alright Mrs. Dash, you're doing great! I can see the head of the first foal." "Mac, you son of a bitch! You did this to me! I said one and done, you bastard! You gave me twins!" "Yer right, Dash. Ah'm a bastard," Mac said, trying not grimace at how hard Rainbow was squeezing his hoof. He could have sworn Zap had been a smoother delivery than this. That, or he had blocked it all out. "Just think about beatin' yer time." "Y...you're right," she heaved. "Just... just gotta f-focus." Rainbow had been steadfast that she was going to be a one and done mom after the birth of their son Zap Apple, a healthy Pegasus colt. While Mac had always wanted a big family, he would never want to cut Rainbow's career as Wonderbolt short because of such things. He respected his wife above all else, and did what she asked of him as a good husband should... within reason. Though when Rainbow was in heat, there was very little he could to keep to that. She was a whole other pony when she was in heat, with plans and adjectives that Mac would not see coming till it was too late. The night that had led to the current situation, he had come home from work not knowing that Zap was spending the night at his Aunt Fluttershy and Uncle Braeburn's place. He most certainly did not expect to find his wife waiting for him dressed in such a manner that he thought would result in quite and awkward situation for him, the doctor, and the nurses in the room. That night, safety did not cross either of their minds. "Alrighty, I need another big push!" The doctor called out, greeted by Rainbow's screams of pain as she gave another hard push. Mac was sure his hoof was going to break in two, but he would not withdraw till his wife was not in pain anymore. After a few seconds of Rainbow's screams, a new set of high screams filled the room much higher and were screams of crying. "Alright! The first one is out! A beautiful Pegasus filly!" the doctor called out, as a nurse came up behind him and wrapped the new born in pink blankets. "And here comes the other, just keep on pushing Rainbow Dash," "Okay, okay, here we goooOOO-MAC I AM GOING TO KILL YOU! Rainbow screamed, as she pushed, gripping Mac's hoof even harder. Mac could only clench his jaw in pain, as he smiled at Rainbow. "Whatever ya want, dear, whatever you want," Mac said, trying to keep any pain out of his voice. Rainbow just gave out another roar of pain as the next contraction came through. As much pain as he was in, Mac could not help but look at the crying filly that was being held just out of reach of him. She looked perfect, her coat was a light pink, with a deep blue mane. She was crying out as the nurse weighed and measured her. All Mac wanted to do was hold her, but he dared not leave his wife. "Mac!" Rainbow cried out, before her cry turned into a long scream as she pushed with all her might. Once more, her screams were combined with those of a cry of a new born filly. "Congratulations, Mister and Missus Apple, you are the proud parents of pair of healthy filly Pegasi!" The doctor said, as the nurse wrapped the second filly in pink blankets. Dash let out several large breaths. "W... w-what was my time?" The doctor groaned. "Ms. Dash, I really don't think—" "Time?" "Ugh, four hours and 32 minutes." "Yes! Beat my last time! Now, give me my foals!" Rainbow growled, her sky blue coat drenched in sweat. "And don't give me any bullshit! I just pushed them out of me! I want them!" The nurse looked to the doctor, who merely shrugged as he stepped away form Rainbow Dash, letting the blanket cover Rainbow Dash. "I'm Sorry, Ms. Dash, but they need a bit of a once-over before you c—" "Give... me... my... foals!" Rainbow Dash growled, before turning towards the nurses. "NOW!" The nurses complied with her commands and quickly dropped the pair of twins into their mother's waiting forelegs, both of them crying out. "Shh, shh, mama's here," Rainbow said, as she held the pair of them. Mac could only smile as he looked down at the pair of light pink fillies with blue manes. He did not dare move forward. He knew that as much as he loved his two new daughters, right now their mother was the only love that they needed. All the other ponies in the room stepped away from the mother and her two new foals, not wanting to intrude. "Mac," Rainbow whispered, looking down at the two fillies, still crying out. "Um... yes?" Mac asked, as he looked at the three mares that he did not think he could love more than he already did. "I love you."
