Royal Pain

Cadence and Shining Armor sat, jaws agape, in the mini library, with Valatine climbing all over her aunt Twilight.

"So what you're telling us is," Cadence started and Shining finished with, "you two are getting
married and you're pregnant and your long lost little sister is the queen of the badlands and she vanished home this morning??"

"Yes." Spike and Ember said in unison.

Twilight had come to a sudden realization, "Wait, Spike you're going to get married and are going be a parent before me!" Everypony laughed, even Valatine who had no clue what was going on.

Ember thought for a moment, "Will you three be staying for the weekend."

Cadence and Shining Armor whispered together and after a moment Cadence had an answer. "Sadly we can't stay but shining and I have to attend a political meeting so, spike, Ember we were wondering if you would like a little training a would watch Valatine for the weekend."

With bright smiles on both of there faces Spike and Ember noded their heads yes.

So they just sat there answering questions about Valatine's schedule. When she naps, what she eats ect. so when the time came Cadence and Shining Armor said goodbye to their daughter and headed out the door.

The first couple of minutes was just Valatine playing on the floor with a small puzzle. Spike and Ember relaxed on the nearby couch.

Valatine suddenly ran up to Spike and yelled in his ear. "Spiiiiiiiike I'm huuuuuuuungry get me food." She thought for a split second, “Please?” Spike was startled by Valatines sudden outburst. Ember sat there giggling a moment before getting up and heading to the kitchen

Once in the hallway Valatine started to ask ember some questions. "Do you love uncle Spike?”

“Of course i do Valatine, we are going to have a wedding you know, and we are going to have a baby.”

“Whats a wedding?”

“Its a big celebration where everyone dresses up to see two ponies tell eachother how much they love them and they become husband and wife, like your mommy and daddy. And lots of ponys play a part, for example you,” Ember said making Valatine giggle. “You, little lady, get to be the flower filly. You get to throw flowers everywhere!”

"Yay"

Finally they got to the kitchen. Twilight has very little staff at the castle mostly guards, one guard which she has a crush on but, the castle has little to no kitchen staff because one, Twilight's best friend is a master baker. And two, Ember is a skilled chef in her free time.

"So this paper says if you want a snack you usually have toasted oat cookies and milk." Ember said tying an apron around her waist then Spike’s old apron around Valatine. It was big on her but it was still so cute. "Well I guess we will have to make some.”

They spent the next hour cutting, mixing, pouring, and rolling. Finally they put them in the oven. Ember realized moments like these are the moments she hoped to share with her future child.

Valatine sniffed the air with a warm smile. "I've never MADE my snack before.”

“Well then we should do this more often, I can teach you to cook” Ember wiped some cookie batter on Valatine’s nose. They both giggled as she tried to get it off with her tongue.

After snacks it was taking forever to put valatine down for a nap even though she needed it .

“The more I chase her the more energy she gets” Spike wheezed, out of breath.

“You can’t catch me HA HA HA” Valatine continued to giggle as she ran around the large bedroom. “Tell me a story.”

Ember stood on the sidelines laughing.

“You want a story FINE!” Spike breathed in sharply as he ran. “Once … upon a time … there was a princess … named Valentine … and the princess was very tired … so she went to bed … THE END!” Everyone laughed as the chase continued.

After a long period of chasing and laughing Valatine was finally down the hall dreaming away in her queen sized bed. She is a Dutchess after all. Spike and Ember laid back on Embers bed.

“I’m glad you were able to put her down for her nap now we finally have some time to ourselves.” Spike said stretching his arm around Ember.

“Are you excited For our next ultrasound tomorrow?” She asked giddily

“Of course I am.” Spike responded.

“Do you want to see something cool?”

“Sure.”

Ember took ahold of Spike’s hand and placed it on her warm belly. “Do you feel it.”

“Is that a kick?” He asked excitedly.

“No, she is flapping her wings.” She let out a small laugh.

“She? I think it’s a boy.” Spike frantically moved his brow up and down causing the room to explode with laughter.

“Ssshhhh,” Ember hit Spike with a pillow.

“Hey!” Spike threw two pillows at Ember.

“Gah!” Pillows continued to fly across the room.

Spike and Ember put there hands in the air “I surrender.” They said in unison.

They both flopped on the bed giggling. “It’s going to be a girl I just know it.” Ember giggled.

Spike stretched out on the bed and placed his arm behind Ember, she placed her arm on his chest closed her eyes and sighed, “I love you, you know that right?”
Spike leaned in close, “Ofcourse I do. I love you too.” Spike leaned in further and there lips met in a fantasy like kiss. Ember wrapped her leg around Spikes.

Suddenly Twilight busts through the door. “Is every pony ok i heard screaming and…” Twilight’s face turned bright red, stunned, she just stood there.

Spike and ember jumped to there feet. Both bright red, all three speechless.

“oh my goodness.” Twilight stared at the ground. “I im sooo sorry you two I didn't mean to interrupt… that but i heard screams and, oh boy.” Twilight tried to leave while she was rambling but hit the wall twice before succeeding in actually escaping the awkward scene.

Spike and Ember looked at each other giggled and flopped back onto the bed.

Suggestion! Take your stories to your English teacher, if not her/him try one of the other teachers in the English department.

You have no idea how good it makes a teacher feel seeing a student ,even if it is not one of theirs, using what they are trying to teach and operating on more than three brain cells.

Good luck. B.D.

well as has been said I feel as if you are going way too fast. You have a jump of five years in the first two chapters. While that might not be a problem in some stores, however in this one that jump covers some rather important things. Embers recovery, learning to fit In with ponies, her relationship with Spike. You give no indications of why or how their relationship went from "Hi" to love and then a sexual one.
You most likely have this worked out in your mind but you need to let the rest of us in on it. Outside of your trust in spellcheck, keep in mind that it only tell you if the word is spelled right not if it is the right word,
(example ) won and win is too spellcheck is fine with this, your math teacher would have a stroke [one an one is two ]

The one thing that I find annoying is referring to Ember as a dragon half, it might work better and read smoother if you used "half dragon"

Keep writing, the story premise is good. Remember no one started out as polished writer everyone started out making mistakes.
Good luck B.D.

Thank you for making the points of the five year gap that will be the next chapter. And i do not have an editor so i'm the only one who sees it before its published. Thanks for the input. I would also like to hear you thoughts on my other story Moonlit Shadows, if you don't mind reading it.
