Short Stories with Pregnant Ponies

Here's the Plan

A purple unicorn was drawing a complicated collection of words and diagrams on a chalkboard, shifting her weight from side-to-side whenever she wasn’t walking around to adjust the dust. “So, once he graduates from Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns, he can take on an apprenticeship. I’d take him under myself, but that would never be allowed.” Spike mumbled something and chuckled, but she was ignoring him.

“Then, he can get a job from her...” It all blurred together, and Spike shook his head to avoid passing out. “Uh, Twilight?”

“Yes Spike?” Spike stood, walking to spare her the effort. “Shouldn’t you at least wait until he’s born to plan for all of this?” Spike poked him for emphasis.

“Quit it.” Her magic swatted away his claw.

“What if he’s not a unicorn?” Twilight gave him a sombre glare. “That’s why there’s a decision matrix, Spike. Now help me.”

Spike groaned.

Why did you skip the monthly Flashfic contest for December 2022?

The cover art made me somewhat hesitant to click on this fic, but the tags didn't include either 'sex' or 'fetish', so I took a risk and checked it out- and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a cute slice of life fic with no fetishy components. I don't understand why it's getting the downvotes that fetish fics often get, given it's not one. It's on the borderline of a story I would upvote, so figuring that it would combat the unexplained downvotes tipped the scales in favor of me upvoting it.

Beyond that, if you want to draw readers to the story, maybe changing the cover art and explaining in the summary that it's a cute slice of life series would be useful.
