MisterClacky and Karn3, who volunteered to be the previous author's pre-readers. If you wish to continue to be pre-readers for this story, my warmest thanks.
For previous followers of this story, my thanks to you for wishing that this story continue. I hope not to disappoint.
Sorry if all those lovely comments disappeared into a negative space wedgie putting by erasing the first chapter. I did not know that was going to happen.
Ah, that explains it. Well it is certainly much better. I can imagine why condoms weren't working. He's not 'Big' Mac for nothing *nudge nudge wink wink*

I still can't believe I'm even implying that.
Errrr! need update now! this is really good! And about the "Big" Mac thing...
wow. just wow.
AJ's gonna be pissed.
You tease!
I kid, I kid. Anywho, a solid rewrite. I'm glad you found a prereader, although from the previous response I expected you to get more than one.
There were still some errors here and there, and since I had time to kill I copied it into Gdocs and went at it. I'll shoot you the PM with it after I finish this praise-filled ramble.
I'm super excited to see where this goes, and if you end up needing another set of eyes, let me know.

Thanks, I will consider it.
Twimac is still best ship!
And you've outdone yourself, the old version was awesome but this is even better!
Need update! July is half over and I check my notifications every day for an update. grrr.

I said second to third week. I finished the next chapter, have to edit it myself, and then send it to my pre-readers. Hopefully it will be here by next the Sunday after next if not sooner.
The next chapter will come out when the next chapter comes out. I promise that it won't be twenty days past forever, but it depends on the schedules of my editors after I actually finsh the first draft.
YAY UPDATE!
You have no idea how happy I am right now! 
I love you, and I love this chapter, and don't even think about Twilight having an abortion! SHE'S NOT THAT KIND OF MARE!!!!!

Oh dear, poor Daisy. I hope Twilight doesn't end up like her

There is nothing wrong with earning your happy ending. I really wish Fimfiction had a drama category. It along with humor are the two oldest genre's in existence.
I don't think that we need to worry about what some of the more small-minded citizens of Ponyville are going to do. I should think we should worry about what is done to them when BBBFF joins the debate. Angry apple farmers
and judgmental divas
are one thing; over-protective siblings who have access to weaponry and the loyalty of armed stallions are quite another.

>:D Thank you for just inspiring and awesome scene for a later chapter.

Glad to be of help. The instant she'd been told the news, my common sense started tingling and warned me about Shining Armour and his need to look out for little Twiley. Knowing him, he'll do it with extreme prejudice.

Still, Ponyville shoudn't be almost completely turned against Twilight and Big Mac.
I wonder who it'll be harder for Twilight to confess her pregnancy too. Celestia or her parents?
And then Big Mac's head exploded.
1064580 I lolled hard
Yes Its finally here!
Oh yeah and it says chapter 3
CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE! XDD
I wonder what it is that AJ's mother did that so angers her. Finding that out would explain a lot of why Rainbow is going to be the one pulling a headstrong nitwit by the tail this time.
dun Dun DUNNNN! I'm afraid of what AJ and Shining Armor will do when they find out. Especially Shining. Protective big brothers can be... scary, to say the least. Can't wait for Tia's reaction, and really hope Mac will take responsibility. Anyway, great chapter, please update soon!
My guess is his brain will shut down for a few minutes as he tries to process what she says, then he will talk to her.
While Big Mac should be worried about Twilight's brother, I feel that the greater threat is from AJ, her hate toward her mother, and her, at least implied, possessiveness of Big Mac will make her quite a threat to both Twilight and the foal.
HA! that was awesome. more?
pinkie! Where did you come from? Never mind. Great chapter. can't wait for the next one!
About time she told him, was afraid she was going to wait till the real signs showing.
Yes moar
Hurray!!!
Hmmm. At least we're getting to see why the Apples are the way they are. Give ponies what they want (Auger on a slab) and they'll beat a path to your door.
Poor Big Mac. Hate to say it but good riddance to that prick. Also, Pinkie Pie.
I think that Pinkie might explode if she finds out that Twilight's pregnant.
Pinkie knows all
Also, is Honey Crisp going to make an appearance, possibly to make amends?
I'm glad to see another great TwiMac story. Has anyone else noticed that a number of them have appeared recently?

I have a theory in the case of the first marefriend: it was because she was a pegasus. He sounds like he would be the whole same race staying with the same race type.
1105624
That could explain Augar actions, and all the members of the Apple family we have seen have been Earth ponies. However, from what we have heard so far. Applejack is preventing anyone getting too close to her brother, rather than checking if they match some form of 'racial profile'. Also, if the Daisy mentioned in the second chapter is the same Daisy from the 'flower trio', than it doesn't fit as she is an Earth pony.

Possible that AJ didn't understand the whole racial profiling thing at the time, and assumed it was for another reason. From what I can tell, or at least what was implied, was that she worshiped Augar without being capable of thinking that he was in the wrong. Man her world is about to be shattered, if they can get her to listen.
Poor big Mac, at least he seems to have things worked out with Twilight, for now. Pinkie's randomness was a perfect way to end this chapter, leaves things on a weird note. Can't wait to read what happens next, great story so far!
Now to break the news to AJ without having her murder everyone. Hm.
That's another reaction I can't wait to see. Let's chalk it up now, shall we? Spike, AJ, And Shining Armor. This is going to be good!
1171862 i dont think shinning will be so bad he will have a bro talk with big mac and let it go the problem is applejack
