What's the worst part of being the Head of Obstetrics for Manehattan General? If you were to ask Doctor Bedside Manner, it would be having to break bad news to expectant parents, especially when said parents are considered VIPs. So of course, when a famous fashion designer's sonogram reveals a foal that looks shockingly bizarre it falls to Bedside Manner to deliver the unpleasant news.

You keep mistaking you're (contraction of you are) for your (possessive for of you).

Such a sweet and interesting take on these two and their family/future. I approve! :moustache:

The is probably the first Sparity fic I have read which has not been written with the immaturity of an eight year old.

Have a fave and an upvote, dear author.

poor off label the name is surprisingly apt for this blunder... and i wouldn't want to be him. i don’t think he’s going to be working in ultrasound anymore.

This was a pretty sweet story, with solid pacing and realistic reactions that built up to the conclusion very well.

Yeah. The Spike and Rarity bit earned this a downvote. If I had known that was coming, I would've avoided this.

I'm being a bit presumptuous here, but one should not downvote something purely for the fact that it contains a ship you don't like. Don't get me wrong, you're free to dislike it (in your head) and avoid it, in fact, by all means do so; but downvoting it is a bit too far. Downvoting is for stories that are bad, bad as in grammar and technical stuff like that.

At least, that's what I think on downvoting. Options may clash, and in that case, let us agree to disagree.

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm with you on some of that, but not all of it.

Well, glad that this was worked out without an argument.

That was a nice light and fluffy enjoyable read! Thanks for writing!

That was cute and enjoyable. (Also for those who didn't see the outcome coming. There was no sad tag, and I felt it was fairly obvious what was going on, but anyway)

“The poor mare must be in complete denial due to the shock,” Bedside Manner thought to himself. "Still, at least she isn’t trying to blame the hospital for the issue. Very well, Miss Rarity,” Bedside Manner finally said. “If you would like to know now I can confirm that your foal is going to be a filly.”

Right here he goes from thinking in his head to speaking out loud and the way it's structured here is very jarring. I'm not sure what the proper way to do this is, but I'd at least do a line break and have his speech be a new line in quotations. Basically:

Still, at least she isn’t trying to blame the hospital for the issue." (Close quotations, space, new line)

"Very well, Miss Rarity,” Bedside Manner finally said.

“I can certainly understand how you fell, Miss Rarity, but there are a few other aspects of your daughter that I do feel you should be aware of in addition to the unique structure of her tail,”

you’ll notice this series of formations running her along her tail and up her back.

“Oh that’s just not true; I had no idea if foal was going to be a filly or a colt until you told me.” Rarity protested

if the foal

“You’re husband?” a bewildered Bedside Manner repeated.

You’re husband? I mean, uh, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Bedside Manner

Wrong your. I'm sure he's not trying to say "You are husband?" :P

Saw it coming, but still a really good read. Also so much yes to those 2 getting together

“Or dragons?” Rarity asked.

I had a guess as to what was going on, but this line comfirmed it! VERY nice story!
