1:What?
"I can't be pregnant; I'm a boy." Shining Armor smiled, thinking it was a joke. The smile changed into a grimace as his 'morning sickness' started to kick in again.
As Shining fought his nausea, Doctor Horse pinned his scans to the overhead projector. "Well, it's very clear from these pictures. No doubt about it. I even ran them twice, in case something was wrong. You're pregnant."
Cadence gripped Shining's hoof in her own "Aww, that's so sweet! Flurry will have a little brother or sister! It will be just like you and Twilight!"
"But... but... how?"
The doctor turned to face Shining Armor on the examining table, "Tell me, you've been to Seaquestria in the last few months, yes?"
"Well, yeah, Cadence and I had a goodwill tour there as emissaries of the Crystal Empire"
"Well, that will be it, then, of course. In Seaquestria, the male seapony has the baby, not the female; different anatomy for underwater life."
Shining turned to Cadence, still in shock, "Is he ...he's not really serious, is he?" He turned back to the doctor, "What do I have, really?"
Cadence answered for him, still grinning from ear to ear, "No. That's how it works there. Everyone knows that." She interrupted herself while gazing over the scans, "Oh, look, you can see the blob on the scan, right there! This looks just like my scans; remember, Shiny? When Flurry Heart was ...
"Shiny? Shiny?"
...
"Fainting spells are mildly common during pregnancy. Make sure she- he eats regular meals and gets plenty of fluids. Especially if she- he is experiencing morning sickness. It's important to recover lost fluids immediately. It's good for the baby."
* * *
The happy (ish) couple, now discharged from the doctor's office, continued their trek towards Twilight's castle, with Shining Armor putting a hoof to his abdomen every few moments, "Well at least we know I'm not contagious; I can't give it to Twilight while I'm here."
"... Unless she wants you to."
"CADENCE!"
"Princess of Love, 'member? That's why I had to try the Seapony way while we were there. It was a professional duty. I didn't think... I didn't know you would even be in season."
Shining Armor blushed, "Let's not talk about it in front of Twilight. What will we tell her?"
"The truth, of course. She's your sister; she will be as understanding as I am, I'm sure."
They rapped on the giant double-doors of Twilight's castle. They opened immediately; Twilight must have been standing right there for some time, worrying about it; "What did the doctor say?"
"Twily ... I'm going to have a baby. Flurry Heart is going to have a sibling."
Twilight's look of concern straightened into a grin, "Well, congratulations!" and then back to concern, "but what about you, Shiny?"
Since Shining Armor was too preoccupied with looking at the ground at that particular moment in time, so Cadence eventually answered for him, "That's just it; Shiny's having the baby this time. See, we were in Seaquestria a ways back, and..."
"Oh, yeah, and the boy seapony gets pregnant! So that's why you've been feeling sick in the mornings! Bad fish, my left hooves!"
Shining Armor looked up, "Does everypony else know this fact except me? Well, I shouldn't be surprised Twilight knows; she knows everything."
Spike finally made it to the door, and raised one claw in the air, "I knew that, too! Of course, I read a lot of Twilight's books."
"Oh yeah, I caught him reading up on pony anatomy last night. Which reminds me, I need to get volume two for Spike off of the top shelf. It will explain a lot of this for both of you."
Cadence looked down at Spike knowingly. Spike blushed. Shining Armor just looked confused, and followed Twilight, saying, "But we changed back from being seaponies... how can I still be pre- preg- pregnant?"
"Oh it's easy! I'll get that book for you, too!" Twilight's purple glow enveloped two volumes on opposite ends of the bookshelf at once, since she knew where they both were intrinsically, floating them over to her and opening to the proper pages in the large, tabbed-for-your-convenience medical and magical volumes. "See? The Pearl Of The Ocean must have this safety, which is common to many transformation spells. It won't change anything if it would endanger the proper functioning of your current body. It's similar to making sure you install a fuse switch when you install a light. Plus, it has memories of Cadence and the other seaponies it has changed before, to use for a reference. So it can draw on that knowledge during the transformation. You probably have a uterus now, and fallopian tubes, and everything!" Twilight showed Shining Armor the picture in her anatomy book.
"Ev- Everything? Even-"
"Of course! Everything! As the baby progresses, the magic will probably revert more changes, as needed. So you will gradually see more changes to your body, not only from pregnancy, but from the magic making you more feminine to strengthen your... new position. Your whole body will become more suited to the pregnancy, not only hormones, but physical changes from the magic as well to make you more girly. And this will apply to everything."
"Everything? Even ..."
"Yes, everything. And where did you think the baby would come out, otherwise? It has to be done to be born."
"You mean ... everything, everything?"
"Yes, everything. Why do you keep saying that? But that's not all; the regular hormone changes during pregnancy will occur as well, so you will have the nesting instincts and the nursing instincts, as well, for example..."
Shining Armor interrupted, "But when will it start happening? And how long will ... everything ... last?"
"Hard to say. The magical changes have obviously started already. You'll be seeing more very soon. Probably, after birth, it will be several months before your body even starts to revert to normal, as there are after-pregnancy considerations as well, and I was saying the nursing hormones... - Oh, Shiny! You'll be able to nurse the baby when it's born! Isn't that great? Shiny?"
"Shiny?"
"Shiny?"
Cadence caught up to them, and looked down at Shining Armor on the ground, "The doctor said this would happen sometimes. We need to give her- ... him more fluids, and make sure he eats on a regular basis, when he's ready for it. He's also had quite a bit of a shock, several of them, recently, in addition to the trials of pregnancy. I remember my own pregnancy would give me dizzy spells." Cadence smiled down and continued, "But Shiny here is used to the work of training to be a captain of the guard. He should be fine!"
Shining Armor, on the floor, simply muttered weakly, " ... everything ".

I initially thought Shining had committed adultery with a seahorse.
Interesting premise.
10261358
To be fair, it's not that he cheated, it's that he and Cadance did "it" while they were seaponies.
I am quite happy that someone has finally made a story with this premise... also, I need more Shining Armor turning into a mare. Mostly for the laughs, and partly to see what happens.
In conclusion, I salute you, dear Author.
Now... do continue, and I shall be waiting.
Well, looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
Looking forward to more of this, sounds like it is going to be a barrel of laughs, for everypony but Shining of course. *giggles*
Ooo mpreg
This reminds me on one of the better Blueblood stories.
Can't wait to see how this will turn out.
Great idea, subpar execution. Sub-subpar actually
Will we see Shining breking down rying saying he or she gotten fat and ugly to Cadence?
Hmm, at this moment does Shining still has his male part? Or just female part?
How brilliant
The writing is still very rough but you managed cover all your bases in explaining the situation, the story is otherwise pretty solid. I would have hoped that Shining would still revert to a seapony during the gestation just to add to the inconvenience and still maintaining his guy part, but the feminization aspect does sound interesting.
Still I think a prologue to the story, of showing how Shining conceived over there, would really help to the story and add to the instant regret of the first chapter
Keep up the good work and lit me know if you are looking for a cover art for this, I am open for commissions.
Very interesting premise. Not that it has to be explored, but I wonder how hippogriff males handle it when impregnation happens below the waves. Does the male still carry the fetus when impregnation happens in bird-pony mode? Either way, Shiny would really benefit from talking to some of Silverstream's relatives.
Cadance will have to arrange a -- going-away party for Shiny's you-know-what in the near future. From what Twilight said, it could be a while before Mr. Happy returns.
I'm also interested in Flurry Heart's reaction to Daddy suddenly becoming a mommy, not to mention being a big sister. It would be a hot topic all over the Crystal Empire as well. How would the crystal ponies react to one of their leaders suddenly swapping gender?
I did spot an error in the story.
This isn't a question the way you worded it. Instead of you've, you want to write have you.

He's still a boy for now, but not for long.
I was thinking if he changed so obviously right away, it would give it away before the 'big surprise'. Also, now he has time to prepare.
Part of me thinks that, seeing she clearly knew this could happen, it was a little irresponsible of Cadance to go through with it without at least giving Shining a heads-up, making sure he knew all of the possibilities first and that he was okay with that.
But then this is also Cadance we're talking about--she was probably hoping precisely this would happen when they did it.
EDIT: I had also always figured that, for the seaponies, it still worked more conventionally male/female arrangement, for a whole variety of reasons but namely just practicality considering the transformation element...and that they also probably laid eggs instead of live young (in consideration of the "griff" part of "hippogriff").
But willing to overlook all that for the sake of this fic's premise, of course.

Weeeelllll...personal two-bits here, but while you're right in that it's definitely not great grammar...I have seen/heard spoken sentences like that phrased as questions before, and the question aspect of it is still clearly conveyed to the reader, soooo...
It's like this--we all like Applejack for her thick southern accent, right? But in writing it out like many of us do, we also have to accept that three-fourths of that accent is still not really good grammar or even flat-out bad grammar no matter how you slice it. We overlook it for the sake of properly conveying the accent though, because that's just the traits that accent bears. Sort of the same thing here, but on a smaller scale. It's arguably not good grammar, not denying that, but there are some people who do talk like that, phrasing things that should be statements as questions, and when it's presented as character dialogue like this, I feel a little wiggle room ought to be allowed.
So I don't know if it absolutely has to be changed...it's ultimately the author's call. Depends on how nitpicky you want to be about it.
Again, just personal opinion--take it or leave it.

I thought of going into more detail in some places (here and in the future outline for the story), but it would be difficult to do without the story becoming Mature. Sometimes the innuendo is funnier, too, than outright saying it.

I get what you mean if you want keep it to teen, but I would have still liked to have scene the context in which the started to get frisky with one another to lead to that special night, like why they were went there in the first place like what did they learn about the culture there along with maybe some hints of foreshadowing on what would happen tat would only make sense in hindsight. It would be curious to see how the seaponies deal with it sense that wasn't nomrmal for them at one point in their history and had been living like this for maybe just one generation sense the Storm King wasn't i mortal that we know of and couldn't have been searching for the orb for centuries. Maybe it wasn't a big deal for them because they normally lay eggs as hyppogriff so they reverted to their sex right after.
Shiny should just relocate to Seaquestria for the duration.
Most authors like it when people comment on their reasons for downvoting, rather than just downvoting.
The above quote is my reason for downvoting. I'm pretty insistent that, when it comes to sex Cadance is firmly on the sides of monogamy, waiting until marriage, etc.
10262401
Well, do what you must, but I'm pretty sure she was joking.
I do appreciate you telling me about it, though.
...bruh
This should be interesting... XD
Very interesting keep up the good work
