Reactions #2 The Apple Family
“Howdy big bro! What brings you here? Ah gave you the day off.” Applejack spoke as if she was her brother’s boss. She wiped a roll of sweat of her forehead. The mare had finished her bucking for the day by the looks of it.
“Hey sis. Fluttershy and Ah wanted to tell you something.” Big Macintosh explained.
Applejack peeked behind the red stallion, expecting to maybe see a hiding Fluttershy. Though her shy friend was there.
“Um Mac?”
“Yeah AJ?”
“Where is Fluttershy? In case you didn’t notice, she ain’t behind ya.” Applejack said, stating the obvious.
“Oh what? She ain’t?” Mac pretended to be surprised and looked behind him. He chuckled and looked back at Applejack who was rolling her eyes.
“Is Granny inside? There’s something Ah want to tell y’all.” Big Mac trotted up to his sister and picked up a basket of apples with his mouth. He hauled it onto his back and followed his sister. She was carrying a basket as well.
“What do ya want to tell us? Is somethin’ wrong?” Applejack asked.
“Mnmm…shouldn’t tell ya without Shy here. Once she’s here, we can talk.” Mac said. He stretched his shoulder, readjusting the load of apples. He stopped before he tipped the basket over.
The orange mare nodded nervously, pretending like everything was fine. Mac’s tone suggested everything was fine and dandy but she couldn’t help but feel something was wrong. Why have Fluttershy and Mac come to announce something to the family? The last time it was Mac and that was help for the proposal.
She looked horrified as the thought of a divorce popped into her head. What if Mac didn’t really love Fluttershy? But what if she did? What if the poor filly was heartbroken? What if-
‘Stop it, AJ.’ She barked at herself. ‘Mac ain’t like that. They’re fine.’
“Do ya think she’ll be here soon?” Applejack asked as the farmhouse came into view. Mac nodded but kept silent.
The siblings walked silently into the house, Applejack leading, Macintosh followed. “Granny Smith?” Applejack called.
“Huh? AJ is that you?” they heard their granny call.
“Yeah and Big Macintosh, too.” The mare said, spotting her grandma in a rocking chair. She had squinted to see her grandson.
“Big Mac? It is you!” She exclaimed as if he had just returned from war.
“Eeyup.” He assured with a nod. The stallion sat down onto the couch beside her sister. Granny Smith had woken up now and was inspecting Big Mac. He wasn’t exactly sure why but over his foalhood he learned to not question Granny, nor her methods.
“Why are ya here, sonny?” her tone was curious though the wording seemed a bit harsh to Big Macintosh.
“Ah wanted to tell ya somethin’ but Ah have to wait for Fluttershy to arrive.” Mac explained.
Granny smiled at hearing her grand-daughter-in-law’s name. Mac had always felt good to know she approved of her fillyfriend back when they began dating. Since he had lost his parents at a young age, Granny had acted as a mother and father to Mac. Once he was old enough, he had taken the fatherly role and tried to support the family as best as he could.
Fluttershy was obviously Applejack’s friend and he had heard how she defended Apple Bloom and her friends against a cockatrice, so it was just Granny’s consent he had needed. She had given it and Fluttershy was ‘welcomed’ into the family.
And Granny would certainly be glad to hear Fluttershy would be having a foal. Ever since the incident with Ms. Cheerilee and the love potion, Granny had gotten the idea of great grandfoals. She bugged Mac over and over again and when she found Fluttershy, she had almost embarrassed both of them by bringing it up. Almost. Almost…
Mac heard the door open creek open and hoofsteps followed. The door closed and soon his wife came into view. She scanned the room, seeing her husband, one of her best friends, and a very nice but sometimes scary grand-mother-in-law. She smiled shyly as she sat next to Mac. All eyes had been glued to here before Applejack spoke up.
“What did you two want ta tell us?” She asked. It was time for the conversation to begin.
Despite her ridiculous and incredibly unrealistic but still frightening scenarios, Fluttershy was jittery and excited to tell more people about her pregnancy.
She wasn’t sure if Mac had the same vibe, though.
“Well…um…I-I had found out…the other day that…I-I’m going to have a foal.” Fluttershy carefully expressed. She didn’t look up in fear of a negative response.
“Ah’m going to be an auntie!” Applejack had her mouth open, ready to speak but was interrupted by a filly’s voice from upstairs. Everypony looked towards the stairs to see an excited Apple Bloom.
“Eeyup.” Mac said simply.
“Woohoo!” The filly jumped for joy. Everypony couldn’t help but smile at the contagious happiness. Apple Bloom came bounding down the stairs and hopped onto the couch.
“Really?! Ah’m going to be an aunt?” She asked, looking at each of the older ponies for an answer. Fluttershy nodded as Applejack answered, “Ya are. So am Ah.” The older mare didn’t have the same enthusiasm as her sister but she still seemed excited.
Apple Bloom ran up to Fluttershy with a big smile. She looked to her to her brother and back to Fluttershy. She put a light yellow hoof to her chin as she thought. Finally, with a raised eyebrow, she asked, “How exactly did that happen?”
Fluttershy and Big Macintosh’s eyes went wide and a big red blush spread across their faces. They had forgotten she wasn’t at the age to know yet. The words caught up in their throats as they opened and closed their mouths wordlessly. Applejack was practically rolling on the ground, her body trembling with laughter.
Granny Smith was chuckling lightly. She interrupted their humiliated mumbling to save their faces from becoming tomatoes, especially Fluttershy’s.
“Apple Bloom, you’ll know soon enough. Now why don’t ya head upstairs?”
Apple Bloom grumbled something incoherent as she trudged up the steps. They heard the door close shut.
“So how did y’all find out?” Applejack asked, ending her laughter. Big Mac was glaring at her sister with mild annoyance. He huffed quietly.
“Um…I wasn’t feeling well a few days ago. I thought maybe it was a simple cold or fever. But I don’t know how I didn’t pick up on the symptoms at first. Though when I thought more about it, I had a little suspicion.” Fluttershy explained.
They nodded, understanding.
Four down. One to go.

Well that was another great chapter. I think I now know the surprise. I can't wait to read that chapter.
4250090 Thanks. I kind of feel bad making you guys wait a while.
I don't know for sure how long it'll take but hopefully it will be soon. I'm going to have to do more research on mare pregnancy 
I want to be as accurate as possible. Though it'll be worth the wait, I promise. 
4250180 You really can't forget about that singing power. Nor that beautiful modeling power:
"AMAZIN! Zo beautiful! Vonderful, dahling. Vonderful!
4250303 Ha ha! Looks like we see Angel alike...that deviously genius rabbit is quite the thinker...
Stop being so suspicious, A.J.! You know better than to misjudge your brother.
Sometimes, Granny Smith can be a bit senile.
Aw... Apple Bloom's reaction to the news Fluttershy's pregnancy was just too cute!
She and Applejack will make fine aunties one day. 
Oh, did you see how Fluttershy and Big Mac respond to Apple Bloom's question? So sweet!
Why can't I know!????
