>10 months in
 
>...it happened again
>another "panic attack", late at night while you both were sleeping
>we still don't know why this is happening, what causes them
>Rainbow was in critical condition, the doctors think the baby is causing traumatic physical stress
>you thought it was an outside force, something telling you that her time was almost up
>all of Equestria was mourning for your wife and child, praying that she get well
>your friends visited often, but for some reason Applejack stayed the most, even when she was asked to leave by hospital staff
>Rainbow was under for almost a full week, the doctors had to almost operate on her when her vitals started to fluctuate drastically
>she showed no signs of illness or disease... just pain
>violent, physical pain...
>it hurt you so much that there was nothing you could do
 
>that was two weeks ago
>for now, for the sake of the baby, you both decided it would be best if she didn't leave the house unless absolutely necessary
>it was also decided not to interact with as many of her friends at a time
>every other day, pairs of her friends came over to visit
>Rarity and Fluttershy
>Twilight and Spike
>Applejack and Pinke
 
>the house became very quiet in this long month
>Rainbow didn't even bother to get out of bed some days
>you remained close for her as best you could
>sometimes she would push you away, but you would always return
>you could never forget the look in her eyes from time to time
>no words could describe the fear she was in
>every day you try to comfort her in some way, but it was never enough
>you thought about calling Time Turner for help, but he said he would only answer when it was the right time
>so far Dash seemed contempt, but she never looked so unhappy
 
>one day, you couldn't stand it anymore
>you went to your telephone and called up Turner
>5998675309
>*riiiing*
>*riii- beep!*
>an automated voice chimes on the other end
>"We're sorry, the number you are attempting to call is unavailable at the moment, please try again later."
>the phone hangs up
"Motherfucker."
>you slam the receiver down on the phone
 
>a few days go by, and you were sitting with Rainbow on the bed
>you were reading a novel to her, while she sat against you
>with the book in one hand, you rubbed her now almost spherical belly with the other
>RD:"Anon?"
"Yes, Sweetie?"
>RD:"...Why are we even trying?"
>this made you almost drop the book
"Sweetie don't-"
>RD:"'-think like that?' Yeah, I've heard it before. Same old bucking sob-story."
"Rainbo-"
>RD:"Well let me tell -you- something mister. Its the only thing I can think of! I'm going to -die- when this bay is born!"
>angry, hateful tear stream from her eyes
"Swe-"
>RD:"No, just-... just go..."
"Rainbow, please-"
>RD:"JUST GET OUT OF HERE, CELESTIA-DAMMIT!"
"..."
>you stare sadly into her burning magenta eyes, the slowly get up and walk out of the room
>as you shut the door, you could hear muffled sobs being smothered into a pillow
>looking down you spot Tank making his way towards you
>squatting down, you pet him on the head
>he turns his head to the bedroom door, hearing Rainbow weeping
*Do you think you could help me cheer her up, pal?*
>Tank just looks at you and smacks his lips
*Oh, come on you!*
>you pick up the tortoise by his shell
>creaking open the door, you spot Rainbow with her face buried into her pillow while soft cries squeak out
>you tip-toe to the edge of the bed and place Tank down facing towards her
>you rush out the door and close it behind you
>the click of the door lock alerts Rainbow, and looks up from her pillow
>Tank is face-to-face with her, and smiles
>RD:"*sniff* Hey big guy..."
>she reaches behind Tank and pulls him closer to her
>softly, she rests her head on his strong shell, and he nuzzles between her arm and underneath her chin
 
>you listen from the other side of the door, and sigh in relief
>heading back to the living room, you plop into your recliner and lay your head back
"Only one more month... then this will be all over."
>you yawn, and get comfortable in the chair
>staring at the ceiling, you eventually grow tired and doze off
 
===
 
>after a good nap, you notice its getting dark
>probably a good time for dinner
>you get out or the recliner and proceed to the kitchen
>maybe Dash would like one of her old favorites
>you dig out ingredients from the refrigerator and start preparing a meal
 
>*knock knock*
"Sweetie?"
>you creak the door open slowly
>Rainbow had fallen asleep on top of Tank, who was also sound asleep
>this made you smile, and you walk over to them with a tray in your hand
>you set the tray down on the bed, then lean over and gently shake Rainbow Dash
*Hey, hey, Dash.*
>RD:"M-huh? Oh, *yawn* hey Honey."
>you turn around and bring the tray over
"I made us dinner."
>RD:"Really?"
>she says, starting to wake up
"Fresh salad, with extra tomatoes."
>Tank jerks his head around at the word "salad", and squirms his way out from underneath Rainbow
>this makes you both laugh, and you offer a piece of your lettuce to him
 
>as Tank munched on his leaf, you and Rainbow ate your dinner on the bed
>RD:"Um Honey?"
"Yes?"
>RD:"I uh-"
>she gulps down what food was in her mouth
>RD:"-I'm sorry..."
>you set your fork down on your plate
"Its okay."
>you rub her shoulder in comfort
>RD:"Its just... how do you out up with this?"
"What do you mean?"
>RD:"How do you not let the fear... get to you? Doesn't it worry you that I'm going to die?"
"Sweetie, of course I worry for you, but thinking like that is what causes the fear and panic."
>RD:"...Just-... how?"
>you shrug, and say
"I... guess I'm just an optimist."
>RD:"But how could you be optimistic now?"
"Sweetie, relax. Take a deep breath."
>she inhales through her nose, and continues
>RD:"I just feel like I'm the only one grieving -over me-... I'd just wish you would show something else besides happiness all the time..."
>you move your plates off your laps and onto the tray
>you grab her hoof suddenly and take it in your hands
>RD:"What the?"
"Rainbow Dash. I'm telling you this right now. There is not a single moment that we have shared together when I have never cared about you. You are the light of my life and I would do anything to protect you."
>RD:"A-Anon?"
"I know what we saw in my dreams will happen, but Time Turner -promised- that he will help us. And after what hes done for us already, I trust him."
>your top hand is starting to tremble
"If I ever give into the thought of you dying cross my mind, I know it will be the end of me."
>RD:"..."
"No matter what happens, good or bad, I will always love you, Rainbow Dash. Please, never forget that, even if it seems like I do."
>RD:"Ohhh, Honey."
>you lean in to hug her, and she plants her head into your chest
"*sniff* I love you, Sweetie."
>RD:"I love you too, you big baby..."
"H-Hey."
>RD:"Its okay, just let it out."
>you rub her back, while your face was covered by her mane
"I love you, I love you, I love you..."
>RD:"I know, its okay."
>she pushes herself away from you, then plants a sweet, succulent kiss
>it has been so long since you remember this same feeling
>love and passion, held true by her luscious lips
>you lean back onto the bed, and pull Rainbow onto your chest
>this causes the tray with the dinner plates to fall on the floor
>the rattling scares Tank and he makes a hasty retreat out the door
>you didn't care, you were too busy getting it on with your wife
>as she holds the sides of your head, her lower body grinds against the emerging bulge in your pants
>she parts from the heavy kiss
>RD:"*pant* Anon... can we do it one last time?"
>her mixed emotions were of sadness, grief, and desperation
>without hesitating, you kiss her again, while fumbling with the button and zipper
>mostly because you were incredibly horny as well
>soon you lay besides Rainbow stark naked
>shes practically devouring your mouth, while you schlick her already wet pussy
>you occasionally gnaw down the length of her neck, which she seemed immensely pleased
>RD:"Ohhhh yeeesss~"
>after several minutes of fingering, your hand was moistened with her juices
>you apply it to your diamond-hard dick, veins were pulsing from the blood pumping into the shaft
>you almost cum from just fapping, even by looking at your lover
"You sure you want to do it that way?"
>Rainbow lies on her back, exposing her quivering abdomen to you
>she nods frivolously
>RD:"T-Take me, Anon. Please!"
>her begging only made your dick even more rock hard
>was it possible to shift -too much- blood to your dick?
>it didn't occur to you, since most of it had left your brain already
>you guide the head slowly past her puffy lips, her wink slipping over the top half of the rod
"Ohhhmygodddd..."
>the weight from her womb pressed down into her cavity, which made it even tighter
>your body was careful not to collapse down on Rainbow, fearing it would hurt the baby
>it took all of your strength to hold yourself up while you thrust deep inside her
>you began to melt in pure ecstasy
>her wings had extended, pressing stiffly against the firm mattress
>Rainbow had basically devolved into a shaking mess, eyes flashing with satisfaction from you ravaging her
>for an extended amount of time, there was no thought; there was no speech
>only the passionate mating of you and your wife
>the moment was ending as you increase the speed, smacking her flanks, arousing another spark of pleasure within her
>you assumed she was trying to say that she was near orgasm, but all she could utter were high-pitched squeaks
>Rainbow's undulating marehood stimulated you to the very edge; you shove yourself into the panting mare until the very last stubborn inch was crammed inside
>you clench your teeth and grasp her hoof
>RD:"A-A-AHHHH~~NOOON!!!"
>you bit down, hard
>...and cum
>a small gush of maregasm rushes against your manhood
>followed by the raspy gasps of your beloved
>each shot of warm, thick sperm filled her, seeping around your buried shaft before dripping ivory streams out between her lips and onto the sheets
>the moment of glory continued until finally the last of your climax was sent deep within her
>you retract your thick girth slowly as it unplugs its well-stretched hole
>Rainbow Dash panted, swallowing hard before attempting to catch her breath
>she blushes in an untold mix of arousal
>before she could utter a word or let alone regain composure, she observes the hot mess flowing in thick globs from her ravaged marehood and contrasting her shy blue coat
>rolling over, you flop onto the opposite side of the bed
>Rainbow looked dumbstruck, still quite laid-out from the experience
>Her hoof reaches down into the white pool and brings it back covered in the hot goo
>her eyes watched a small drop of semen fall onto her stomach with a 'pap'
>your smooth body shone with a thin coating of sweat
>rolling on her side, she giggles as you proceeded to reach out and pull her close for a bit of well-deserved aftercare
>a slow peck from you meets her bright red nose
>she ruffles her wings, finding the ideal balance of comfort and stretches as she moved the air gracefully around her
>RD:"That... t-that was amazing..."
>you couldn't say anything, as you were almost entirely depleted of energy
>instead you just smile at her
>you took a moment to level your head with hers, and stroke your hand through her multicolored mane
>soon after the post-coitus, you and Rainbow Dash drift off in each others loving embrace
 
===
 
>the soft rays of the morning light shine through the bedroom windows
>you feel the warmth spread across your face and slowly peek your eyes open
>Rainbow lies next to you, her blue muzzle buried into your arm
>you run your right hand through her mane, and she moans softly in return
>RD:"Mmmm, morning Honey."
>her eyes were still closed, yet her smile grows across her face
"Good morning, Sweetie."
>you move forward and kiss her, and when you part her eyes are now awake
>RD:"Mhm-hm-hm... Anon, when did you get -so- nasty?"
>you chuckle
"Shut up! You're the one who made the move."
>she sticks out her tongue cheekily while she tries not to giggle
"But really... Dash, you felt amazing too."
>RD:"Oh, no need to thank me!"
>she finally lets out a laugh
>you laugh too, and kiss her one more time
>RD:"Suppose we should get up?"
"Ehhh... yeah, I guess so."
>you roll out of your side, and Rainbow shifts off the covers
>one section however, seemed to be snagged on the bed
>RD:"Um, honey?"
>you turn and she points to the spot
>further investigating the area, you tug at the sheet but to no avail
>you finally pull swiftly enough and an audible cracking is heard
>RD:"Oh Celestia... is that-?"
>you hold up the sheet to your face, and curiosity gets the better of you
>you inhale through your nose
"*hurk* Augh!"
>RD:"Anon! That's gross!!!"
>you ball up the nasty bedsheets and hold the stained part as far away as possible
>you looked at your wife with a bright crimson face
"I'll uh... t-take care of this."
>you rush the sheet out of the bedroom and out to your backyard, since Equestria lacks the once known luxury of washing machines
>you could hear the stifled, hysterical laughing of Rainbow from the bedroom all the way outside
 
>an hour of furious scrubbing later, you wring out the sheets and examine the stain, which surprisingly was almost completely gone
"Thank god."
>you take the sheet over to the clothesline and hook one end to a pole
>looking at the opposing pole, you realize the distance is too short and the sheet wouldn't dry properly
"Hmm..."
>you spot a tree not too far from your position
>unhooking the sheet, you walk over and examine the medium-sized oak
"Maybe this will work."
>you sling the sheet over your shoulder and walk back to the clothesline, unhook the opposite end of the line, then walk back to the tree
>you reach up into the nearest fork of the tree, but it was just out of reach
"*hnng* C'mon..."
>you stand on yout tip-toes, nearly attaching the hook
>RD:"Need a hoof?"
"GAH!"
>you drop the clothesline and the sheet on the ground in surprise
"Rainbow, you scared me!"
>RD:"Oh, sorry Honey."
>you bend over and pick up the sheet, a small scuff of dirt was on the lower section
"Its alright."
>she picks up the hook to the line and looks up to the notch in the tree
"Here, let me-"
>RD:"I can get it."
>the flaps her wings and floats slowly upwards
>she hooks the line in the tree, then floats back down
>RD:"See?"
"Yeah, but what if you don't make a good landing? What if you fall?"
>RD:"Honey, I'm fine! I might not be able to do sonic rainbooms at the moment, but I -can- float a few feet off the ground."
>you rub the back of your neck
"Just... *sigh* be careful, okay?"
>she nods respectively
>you pick up the sheet from the ground
>RD:"Can I -please- help with that?"
>you look to her
"Sure."
>you say sarcastically
>Rainbow grabs one end of the sheet, floats to meet the clothesline, and you flip over half of the sheet to hang freely
>you brush off the small patch of grime from the sheet
"There we go, thanks Rainbow."
>RD:"No prob, Anon."
>she floats back down to your side
>RD:"Wanna go to town for breakfast?"
"You sure you're up for it?"
>RD:"Only if you are."
>maybe Dash -was- feeling better today, and hopefully nothing would happen while you went out to eat
>despite your gut saying to stay home for safety, you decide 'what the hell'
"I'll get dressed."
>RD:"Cool! I'll meet you up front."
>she trots happily back to the house, while you stood next to the bedsheets flapping in the breeze
>you look up into the morning sky, the sun now fully exposed over the horizon
>the scenery of Equestria was truly breathtaking
>exhaling, you pick up the bucket and washboard you used and head back inside
 
>the bell above the door rings as you and Rainbow walk inside Sugarcube Corner
>the store was usually empty after the breakfast rush, which was perfect timing
>Mrs. Cake was at the counter when she notices you both walk in
>Mrs.C:"Hey you two! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, I'll be right with ya."
>you pull out a seat for Rainbow at a nearby table, then take yours
>Mrs. Cake brings over two menus to the table
>Mrs.C:"Now, what would ya like to drink?"
"I'll take a black coffee."
>she writes down on her notepad
>Mrs.C:"Alrighty, and you dear?"
>RD:"Ehhm, just a glass of milk."
>Mrs.C:"One black coffee and one milk, comin' right up!"
>she leaves and heads back into the kitchen
>you and Rainbow pick up your menus and browses the breakfast section
"What do you think you want, Sweetie?"
>RD:"I dunno... everything looks good today. I wonder if Pinkie Pie-"
>a loud crash comes from the upstairs of the shop
>PP:"LOOK OUT BELOOOOW!!!"
>a pink pony wearing a cooking pot on her head, accompanied by two fillies, came sliding down the staircase behind you on a sleigh made of cardboard
>their voices screamed "A-A-A-A-A-AH!" on every step until the sleigh came to a stop on the bottom floor
>PP:"Phew, that was fun huh kids?"
>the two little ponies clapped and babbled with delight
>a yellow colt comes rushing from within the shop
>Mr. C:"Pinkie Pie! What are you doing?!"
>she moves the pot on her head to where she could see clearly
>PP:"Oh, sorry Mr. Cake. Just having some fun with the kids!"
>she shakes the dust off herself and puts the twin siblings on her back
>Mr.C:"W-Well just be more careful next time. And if you haven't noticed, we've got customers."
>he points to your table
>PP:"*gasp!* Hi Dashie, hi Nonny!"
>she gallops over with the kids riding her like cowboys, and comes to a stop with a comical horse-stance and whinny
>she takes off the pot from her head and her fluffy pink mane poofs out
>PP:"Here for breakfast, I see?"
"You bet."
>PP:"Eh, I prefer gambling."
>you and Rainbow laugh, Pinkie was always quick with a good joke
>the kitchen door swings open and Mrs. Cake walks out with your drinks on a tray
>she sets down the tray on your table
>Mrs.C:"One black coffee."
>you take the mug from her hoof
>Mrs.C:"Aaand one milk!"
>Rainbow sets her glass by the menus stacked at the edge of the table
>Mrs.C:"Now then, what'll ya like to eat?"
>you and Rainbow look at each other with delight
"We would like two plates of... Pinkie-Pancakes."
>Pinkie Pie's eyes almost turn solid black as her pupils expand with excitement
>PP:"OHOHOH MRS. CAKE CAN I PLEEEEASE MAKE THIS ORDER?! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE-!?"
>Mrs.C:"OKAY! Pinkie, okay! Go ahead, I got the kids."
>PP:"Great! Be back in a sec!"
>she bucks the toddlers off her back into Mrs. Cake's open arms and flies into the kitchen
>Mrs.C:"*sigh* Its hard enough that we've got -these two- to look after. You remember Pound and Pumpkin?"
>the young colt and mare giggle in their mothers arms
>RD:"Aww of course we do! Hey little guy."
>Rainbow reaches over and tickles his belly with her hoof
>RD:"Coochie-coochie-coochie!"
>Pound erupts in laughter, and so does Pumpkin
>Rainbow stops, and Pound tries to say something
>Po:"R....R-R... Ra-inbbbb-"
>his speech then turns to a raspberry from his lips
>Pumpkin looks at you with a thoughtful face
>she points her hoof as she tries to talk
>Pu:"Nnnn-... Noonny?"
"Hey! You got it!"
>Mrs.C:"Good job Pumpkin! You're such a good learner!"
>Dash leans over to Pound and asks jokingly
>RD:"You gonna let your sister out do you?"
>his face scrunches and he crosses his arms
>Mrs.C:"Come on Pound, you can do it!"
>his face grows a determined look, and musters up all the knowledge he can
>Po:"Rrr...Rrraaaiin..."
>Rainbow mouths a silent 'Oh' at Pound
>Po:"Rraain...boh!"
>you all cheer for Pound, even his sister
>RD:"High-hoof, little guy!"
>they raise their hooves and bump them together
"High uh... hoof to you too, Pumpkin."
>you make a fist and bump her hoof
>PP:"Whooooo's ready for Pinkie-Pancaaaakes?!"
>a flash of pink riding on a cart zooms out of the kitchen, loops around your table, and comes to a stop with a screech
>Pinkie jumps down and whips off the silver platter covering the golden stacks of fresh pancakes
>PP:"Voila!"
>the two tykes clap their hooves and giggle
>Pumpkin says excitedly
>Pu:"She v-verry fast!"
>meanwhile Pound mimics the screeching sounds of the cart while waving his hoof through the air
>PP:"Go on Nonny, see how they taste!"
>you eagerly take your fork and jab the very top pancake and shovel it into your awaiting mouth
>the warm, flaky texture melts within your cheeks, tantalizing your taste buds    
>you nod your head when you speak
"Pinkie... this is perfect."
>Rainbow takes a bite out of her stack, and her wings flutter in pleasure
>RD:"Pinkie Pie, you make. The best. Pancakes in Equestria."
>PP:"*giggle!* Well, I try!"
"Pinkie if I was a world famous food critic, I would put these pancakes as the #1 breakfast item."
>RD:"Me too!"
>PP:"*giggle!* Oh guys, you're too kind. You're making me blush!"
 
>after a few minutes of conversation with Pinkie and Mrs. Cake, you finish your breakfast and head out of Sugarcube Corner
"Woof, man I'm stuffed."
>RD:"Ohhhh... me too- *urp!*"
"...You okay?"
>Rainbow is speechless, then a large gulp squirms down her throat
>RD:"Yeah... *heave* I'm fine."
"You sure you're not gonna throw up?"
>RD:"*phew* Yeah... Yeah."
>you pat her on the back for relief
"You did kinda wolf down your stack, Sweetie."
>RD:"I... I couldn't help it, they were -sooo- good."
"At least I didn't inhale all of mine!"
>RD:"Shut up!"
>she hits you in the leg with her hoof
>you laugh, and rustle the hair on her head with your hand
>RD:"Ready to go home?"
>you shrug
"Not unless you want to do something."
>RD:"Well, I just don't want to get... you know-"
"It doesn't have to be a -big- thing."
>you look around the road back to your house, ponies were walking to and fro going about their day
"How about the park?"
>RD:"What could we do -there-?"
"I dunno, just relax, enjoy the day, or whatever."
>RD:"...You know what? Yeah, I'd like that."
>you hold her hoof confidently, and proceed with Rainbow to the central park
>the bright sunny day was in full bloom this morning
>ponies were enjoying their time with their friends and family
>some were playing, others walking, and some just talking
>you guided Rainbow Dash to a nearby bench and take a seat with her
>she lies on all fours and rests her head against your arm
>you move it around her back and she gets more comfortable
>RD:"Its nice out today."
"Yeah, it is."
>the shrieks and giggles of young fillies rang out from the playground, some mares in jogging gear trotted along the concrete path, an older colt sat at a picnic table reading a newspaper
>the park, even though it was bustling with activity, felt calm and serene
>at least you could tell Rainbow was relaxed, and enjoying her time with you
"I'm glad you're feeling better."
>you rub her back with your hand
>she meekly smiles, and nuzzles her head against your chest
>'Yes...' you thought, 'this is the dream...'
>still deep down, you know this was going to end soon, but why not enjoy the time you have together now?
>you continue to massage her back with your hand
>it almost felt like she was purring, like a cat-
>"Opal! OPAL! You get down here this second, missy!"
>speaking of cats
>you and Rainbow look behind the bench and see Rarity and Sweetie Belle looking upwards into a tall tree
>R:"Opal! Get down from there!"
>Sb:"Opaaal! C'mon kitty-kitty!"
>you rush over to them and Rainbow follows
"Hey guys, what's wrong?"
>R:"Oh! Anon! Thank goodness you're here! My poor little Opal ran up this accursed tree and will not come back down!"
>she points up, and you spot the little white furball nestled in a fork
>RD:"Any idea why she went up?"
>Sb:"There was this pony with a -really- big dog walking on the path, and when Opal saw it she went crazy!"
"Can't you use your magic to get her down?"
>R:"Its harder than you think. Moving a motionless object is no problem, but when its squirming around in the air its harder to maintain a grip."
>a faint 'meow' calls from above
>R:"Can't you do something, Anon?"
"Well, its too high up for me to reach..."
>Opal was a good 3 feet higher than you could reach
>RD:"Maybe we should call the fire department?"
>R:"Nonsense, we don't need to waist their time. I know we can get her down ourselves."
>RD:"Rarity, that's stupid. Of course they would-"
>before your wife could finish, you take a running start and leap up onto the tree
>RD:"Anon! What are you doing?!"
"*hnngh* I can *grunt* get her!"
>you inch your way up the tree, getting closer and closer to the cat
>several ponies in the park stop and watch your tree-climbing abilities
"Al-*grunt* most- *huff* there!"
>Rainbow, Rarity, and Sweetie Belle watch you with worry
>finally you're face to face with Opal, who was huddling soundly on the branch
"Heeere Opal, its okay kitty cat."
>you stick your hand out in an effort to let her sniff it
>you learned a while ago that if animals recognize your scent, they became more friendly
>Opal, still spooked, nervously takes a small sniff of your finger
"Good girl... now just come on-"
>you attempt to reach around and scruff her neck
>bad move
>*RRRREAOW!*
>she lashes out and cuts deep within the back of your right hand
"AAAAAHHH MOTHERFUCKER!"
>instinctively, your left hand reaches over and clasps your right
>wait a minute...
"SHIT, AAAAAA-*oof!*"
 
End of part 1
=============
 
>a loud ringing noise rang inside your skull as you slowly open your eyes
>an echoing voice called out to you
>"Mr. Mous? Mr. Mous!"
>the glare of the sun made it difficult to see
"W-...wha..."
>"Look, he's waking up!"
>you were finally able to make out two ponies standing over you wearing silver hats and black coats
>a familiar voice calls out
>RD:"Anon!"
>suddenly you're being hugged by a blue pegasus, still with a slight echo in your ears
"...Dash?"
>RD:"Yes, Honey, its me."
>"Lets help him up."
>the two ponies get behind you and lift you off your back
>now sitting upright, you can finally adjust to the brightness
"Augh, what happened?"
>your hand reaches for the back your head, but one of the ponies stops you
>"Sir, I'm gonna have to advise that you -don't- touch that."
"...Why?"
>you ask nervously, then looking up to your forehead you see the white edge of medical bandages
>"You split your head open when you fell, you're lucky your skull didn't bust open."
>your sight was still focusing, but now you could closely make out that the two ponies were firemen
>RD:"I told Rarity we should've called called them first."
>R:"Anon dear if I had known you were going to do that I would've told you to stop!"
"Well maybe next time you should-"
>you point your right hand at her, which you immediately regretted
"OW!"
>you now noticed the hand was also wrapped in bandages
>you look up and see Sweetie Belle holding Opal, while the cat smirks evilly at you
>'fucking cat', you think to yourself
>RD:"Does he need to go to the hospital?"
>"No ma'am, we checked him all over and no major signs of head trauma. He'll be okay after a while."
>"If he does start to show signs of anything wrong, do take him."
>Rainbow hands you her hoof and you pull yourself up, wobbling on your feet
>RD:"You okay?"
"Yeah... just dizzy."
>you look around the scene and notice the crowd of ponies from the park were watching
>"Look! He's alright!"
>the crowd cheers, then from behind you feel a tap on your back
>"Mr. Mous?"
>it was one of the firemen, which you assumed was the eldest one
>"We can offer you a ride back to your home, if you need it."
"No... I-I don't think so-"
>you try to walk forward, and almost fall back on the ground if it weren't for the firemen and Rainbow catching you
>the crowd gasps in worry, but then sigh when the trio stops the fall
"...Y-yeah, maybe I do."
>the blood rushing through your brain made it throb painfully
>Rainbow escorts you to the wooden fire-engine cart and helps you into the seat while the firemen strap themselves to the lead
>"Where to?"
>Rainbow tells them the house address, and you wearily wave to the crowd as they send you on your way
 
===
 
>later that evening, you're sitting in your recliner holding an ice pack to the back of your head
>the cut has stopped bleeding, but fucking hell did it hurt
>not to mention the -other- cut on your right hand from that fucking ungrateful cat
>Rainbow Dash sat in the neighboring chair watching tv with you, still asking almost every 5 minutes if you were feeling okay
>Tank sat in his little basket between the chairs with his head resting on the twisted edge
>RD:"Honey, you feeling okay?"
"*sigh* Yes, Rainbow. I'm -fine-."
>RD:"...Okay, no need to get worked up over it."
"I-... *sigh* Dash, I'm sorry-"
>she hastily leaves her chair and heads for the kitchen, then returns with fresh ice for your pack
"...Thanks."
>RD:"Mhmm."
>she promptly kisses you on the cheek
>RD:"I'm going to bed, goodnight."
>before you could grab her, she trots away down the hall
*Fuck!*
>you whisper to yourself
>Tank lifts up his head and stares at you
>you look down to him, them rub the top of his head
"Tank, what am I gonna do? I feel like everything I do I fuck up, y'know? Like I'm a fucking clumsy piece of shit who can't even take care of his wife and child."
>the tortoise just tilts his head at you in confusion
"Augh, you're not helping-... why am I even asking you?!"
>you get up angrily out of the recliner, leaving Tank behind in the living room
 
>now in the bathroom, you stand in front of the mirror, gazing at the white bandage wrapped around your head
>you dig through the drawers and find a smaller handheld mirror
>the bandages felt course and rough against your skin, which you feel with the tip of your finger
>facing backwards, you hold up the smaller mirror to get a glimpse of the red-stained patch on the back
>breathing slowly, you pry your fingers in between the bandages
>the pain stung from the caked blood clinging your hair, but eventually you're able to lift the bandages off
>you spread apart the clumped mass of hair to find a good one and a half inch red gash
>it didn't look so bad as you had thought, it was small enough that maybe it didn't require stitches
>you discard the old bandages into the trash and turn on the shower faucet
 
>after you step out of the shower and dry off, you rummage through the medicine cabinet
>you find a roll of white bandages in the left corner
"A-hah."
>taking the roll, you stretch out a long enough piece and tear off the end
>as you begin to wrap the bandage around your head, you glance back to the open cabinet
>a small brown glass bottle with a green label catches your eye
>you set down the bandage and pick up the bottle
"Hydrogen Peroxide? ...Shit."
>you knew this would clean the wound and help it heal faster, but any poor bastard knows how much H2O2 burns like the gates of hell
>you reluctantly twist off the top, and the fumes almost singe off your eyebrows
>taking the miniature brush from underneath the top, you dab a good portion of the acid and lift it up to the back of your head
>before you apply it, however, you shut the bathroom door and bite down on a hand towel
>you grab the hand mirror and watch as you position the brush towards the cut
>a small drop of Peroxide falls into the wound and it felt like your skin was peeling off
>a muffled scream cries into the towel in your mouth, and you almost knock the open bottle onto the floor
>after regaining your posture, your hand shakes as you brush over and over the cut as you yell quietly
>you slam down the brush and mirror on the sink and clasp your hand over the gash in agony
>every bubble arising from the acid set off every nerve in excruciating pain
>after cringing over the sink for a good five minutes, you felt the burning finally wear off
>you take the fresh bandages and wrap it tightly around the wound and your head
>you take the towel out of your mouth and wipe the tears from your watering eyes
>gasping, you stare at yourself in the mirror, and damn you looked like a mess
>you frown, and think to yourself
>'You've got this... You've got this...'
>you pat yourself on the cheek, clean up the sink, then walk out of the bathroom
 
>Rainbow was laying sound asleep on her side away from you as you slowly crawled in bed
>you move up next to her, and reach around her waist
>the rotund shape of her furry body was almost foreign to you as you gently caress the stomach
>little Anomaly would be here any day now
>you smile happily and kiss Rainbow on the back of the head before falling asleep
 
===
 
>you wake up lying on a towel at a beach
>sitting up, you find that you're half naked wearing only swim shorts
>the beginning of "Strange Magic" by ELO was playing on a small radio nearby
>"How's your tan coming, Honey?"
>you look to your right, and Rainbow was lying on her stomach in a small one-piece navy swimsuit
>she looks over and lifts up the big black sunglasses sitting on her nose
>you glance down at your arm and hand, which you noticed was somehow no longer cut
"Umm... fine, Sweetie."
>RD:"That's good."
>she flips down her glasses and goes back to reading a book which you now saw was underneath her
>you still sat up, trying to figure out what the hell was happening
>the sky was clear, the sun was bright, the sand was clean and the water brought in the salty sea air
>you ran the soft sand through your hand, and it felt too real
>the radio kept on playing the mystical song, which made you question to Rainbow
"Sweetie, why is this song playing?"
>RD:"You chose the playlist, remember?"
"...Oh."
>you leaned on your arms and looked out to the ocean
>the waves crashed and churned on the beach, with white foam being left behind by each pass
>...wait a minute
>you look back over to Rainbow Dash lying on her stomach
>her -flat- stomach
>you were about to ask her, when she looks behind herself in confusion
>she shakes her hind legs, then lifts up her sunglasses
>RD:"Um, Anon... is there something on my leg?"
"What?"
>RD:"Just look."
>she moves her hind leg towards you
>you look all over, but shake your head
>RD:"It feels like there's something wet-"
>suddenly a beach ball comes flying over, hitting the radio, then smack into the face of your wife
>the radio shorts out, stopping the song
"Rainbow, are you-"
>RD:"Ah, ah, ah, AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
 
===
 
>you snap awake in terror, Rainbow was sitting up clinging tightly to her abdomen
>RD:"HHHHNGH OW-OW-OW-OW!!!"
"R-Rainbow?!"
>RD:"Anon!"
"What's wrong?! Panic attack?!"
>she winces, then points down to the covers
>you lean over to the night stand and click on the lamp
>RD:"I-Its... I think..."
>you grab the bedsheets and throw them off
>surrounding her lower legs in a small pool, was a thin film of a clear liquid
 
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNJ1B_2b17s
 
"Shit-shit-shit-shit!!!"
>you leap out of bed and rush over to her side
"C-can you get up?"
>RD:"I-I think so."
>she moves her legs over the side, and steps down onto the floor
>a stringy trail of the liquid followed her rear
>you quickly grab a tissue and wipe it off
>RD:"H-Honey... you n-need to call-"
"Yeah, I will, j-just sit down in this."
>you bring out the old wheelchair from the closet, the same one that you had used long ago
>she leans slowly down, then you sprint into the hallway
>nearing the telephone, you slip and slide trying to stop, knocking it over on to your head in the process
"SHIT!"
>RD:"Anon?!"
>Rainbow is wheeling herself down the hall after you
>ignoring her, you reach over and pull the phone to you and frantically dial the number
>5998675309
>*riiiing*
>*riii- beep!*
>"We're sorry, the number you are attempting to call is-"
"TURNEEEERR!!! PLEASE PICK UP! ITS HAPPENING NOW!!!"
>Rainbow lets out another crippling cry as she holds her stomach
"God dammit!"
>you hang up the phone, then pick it up and dial another number
>"Ponyville Hospital, what's your emergency?"
>you glance over to Rainbow, who was staring at you with fear
"P-Please, we need an ambulance, m-my wife is going into labor!"
>"One moment sir, a unit will be dispatched shortly, what is your name and address?"
"A-Anon y. Mous, my wife, Rainbow Dash-"
>"-Sir- Anon y. Mous?! O-Oh my goodness, the unit is on their way as fast as possible!"
"Oh thank you, thank you!"
>you slam down the phone, and get up to help Rainbow
 
>soon the ambulance arrives at your house, and you help lift Rainbow Dash inside
>the ride was bumpy, which didn't help the situation
>at the hospital, they loaded Rainbow onto a gurney and rushed her to a delivery room
>you stayed running by her side, holding her hoof and telling her its going to be okay
>when you get to the delivery room, you kiss Rainbow on the head and kneel down beside her
>one of the doctors came to you
>"Mr. Mous, Mrs. Dash."
"Doctor, we um... didn't expect this to be so early."
>"We said 10 to 11 months, correct? And how long has Mrs. Dash been carrying?"
"Just about 10."
>"Hmm. No worries, we'll take care of her, but for now we need you to step outside. We need to prepare for the delivery."
"...Oh, u-uh sure, yeah."
>you turn around to Rainbow
"Sweetie, I'm gonna be right outside the door, I promise I'll be back."
>she smiles, and she grabs your hand
>RD:"I love you."
"I love you, too."
>you leave the room and the doctors and nurses get to work
>you look nervousfully up and down the hall until you spot a nurse walking by
"Excuse me nurse? Is there a telephone I can use to make a call?"
>"Yes sir, down the hall that way, and on the first corner."
"Thank you!"
>you take off in the nurse's direction
 
>you find the wall-mounted payphone on the corner of the hallway
>'1 bit per call'
>good thing you kept a few bits in change in your pocket
>you jingle the bits out, but to your disappointment, only found 5
"Crap."
>you think for a moment, then insert the bit and dial Twilight's number
 
>TS:"Hello?"
"Twilight, its Anon, call everypony and tell them to get to the hospital. Rainbow is in labor!"
>TS:"What!?"
"Just hurry!"
>TS:"Okay, okay, I will! Bye!"
"Bye."
 
>you hang up the receiver, then insert another coin and try Time Turner's number again
>same fucking error message
>you hang up and waste another bit on the number
>still nothing
>you decide to save the last 2 bits and hurry back to the delivery room
>as you turned the corner, you saw the Mane 5 running in the same direction
>TS:"Anon! We got here as fast as we could!"
>R:"Is Rainbow alright?"
>FS:"Are we too late?"
>you tried to answer the assault of questions until you had to ask a question of your own
"Pinkie, have you heard -anything- from Turner?"
>PP:"Did you call him yourself?"
"YES. Several times, and it kept saying 'oh the fucking number you're trying to reach doesn't fucking EXIST!'"
>AJ:"Anon, cool it! This ain't the time to get worked up over this."
>FS:"Applejack's right, we all need to stay calm, for Rainbow Dash."
>PP:"Anon, I can assure you that the number he gave you was legit. I just-... Don't know why he won't answer."
>you take the two bits from you pocket and give them to Pinkie, then tell her to try the telephone down the hall
>PP:"On it!"
>off she goes, and you turn your attention back to the group
>TS:"Now, what can -we- do to help?"
>for a moment, your mind went blank
>you honestly did not know what to do
>until a doctor opens the door from the room
>"Mr. Mous, shes ready."
>a chill ran down your spine, and the girls had to push you from behind to move into the room
>TS:"We'll be out here, call if you need help!"
>the twin swinging doors close dramatically behind you
 
>Rainbow Dash was now in a patient gown, lying on the bed with nurses surrounding her while the doctor prepares himself
>RD:"H-Honey?"
"Yes Dash, I'm here."
>you kneel by her side, and hold her hoof
>"Nurse, what's her status?"
>"Shes had several contractions so far, so its now or never, doctor."
>you gently pet Rainbow's head and keep telling her its going to be okay
>the doctor is now fully dressed in medical scrubs, and gets in position
>"Now Mrs. Dash, all we need you to do now is push, your body will do the rest."
>RD:*Honey... I-I'm scared...*
*Shh, don't worry, I'm here.*
>you kiss her on the forehead, then turn back to the doctor
>"Now on the count of three, I want you to push, okay?"
>Rainbow nods her head nervously
>"One... two... three!"
>she inhales and forces her muscles with all of her strength, causing her to cry out in pain
>she clenches your hand, and you kept it held tight
>"Alright, that's good, and again on three."
>Rainbow pants heavily, and inhales again
>"One... two... three!"
 
>the girls outside the delivery room waited anxiously
>Twilight paced up and down the hall while everyone else sat in chairs
>finally Pinkie Pie raced back towards the group in a tired sweat
>TS:"Pinkie! Did you get a hold of him?!"
>she shakes her head in dismay
>PP:"He- *pant* He always picked up for me..."
>FS:"W-What are we going to do?"
>R:"The best we can do right now Dear, is wait."
>the ponies return to quietly waiting
>Applejack still sat quietly in her chair with her hat tipped down and her arms crossed
>Spike leans over and taps her on the shoulder
>S:"Applejack, you okay?"
>her head leans up enough where he could see a glimpse of her green eyes, but then immediately tips down again
>AJ:"Yeah... I'm fine."
>S:"...Are you sure-?"
>she jerks her head to him
>AJ:"YES, Spike, I'm fine! Now please, leave me be."
>Spike grimaces, then goes back to talking with the others
>Applejack looks over to the twin doors, and on the opposite side of her face, a small tear falls from her eye
 
>Rainbow flopped down on her back against the bed, clearly losing energy
>this was the fifth attempt at pushing the baby out
>RD:"Anon... I can't do this anymore..."
"Rainbow, I -know- you can do this."
>you stroke her hoof encouragingly
"Doctor, is she-"
>your face turned almost pure white when you looked down to the doctor
>he raised his hoof from underneath Rainbow's gown, the glove now glistening red
>RD:"H-honey, what's wrong? ...Wh-... I don't feel so good."
>the heart rate monitor starts to increase, and you try to keep her from looking at the doctor
"Sweetie just don't look, j-just don't look."
>the doctor starts to call out to the nurses to bring him tools and medicine
>"Mr. Mous, I'm sorry, but I need you to step outside."
"No, I can't-"
>"Sir, we need as much space as possible to work. Please."
"No! I'm not leaving her!"
>"Nurse, please escort Mr. Mous outside, please?"
>a white pony with red hair tries to get you to come with her, but you refused to leave Rainbow Dash
>but after looking at how weak she looked, your body gave up to the struggle, and collapsed beside her
"Sweetie? ...Dash?"
>she hazily looks over to you, now with a oxygen mask attached to her face
>you tried to speak, but no words came
>all you could do was kiss her softly on the forehead, then mouth out silently
"I love you."
>tears welled up in her eyes, and she blinks slowly in a way to let you know she loved you too
>you step outside with the nurse, who then excuses herself back into the room
>TS:"Anon? What's going on?"
>R:"Is Rainbow Dash okay?"
>you ignore them, as fear and sadness take over your senses like a virus
>several more nurses run into the delivery room to aid the doctors
>the Mane 5 stood behind you trying their best to comfort you
>TS:"Anon, I-I'm sure they're doing a-all they can do-"
>you start banging maniacally on the twin doors
"LET ME IN! I NEED TO SEE HER!"
>R:"Anon, stop it!"
"NO! PLEASE! PLEASE-E-E..."
>you slide down the door onto his knees, cupping your face in your hands
>Twilight and Rarity try to pull you back, as Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Spike sit in their chairs, trying not to cry out in sadness
>you then realized this was it, the same moment as in your vision
>all hope in this world seemed to vanish in smoke as you knew the love of your life, and your expecting child, were dying in the room
>and there was -nothing- you could do
 
>the doors suddenly creak open, and the head doctor, his gloves covered in blood, pulled off his face mask
>you look up at him from the floor, knowing what he would say next
>"Um, Mr. Mous..."
>the group listens anxiously
>"There's a-... hes-... you need to come inside."
>confused, you quickly get off the floor and the group follows you in
>to your amazement, a familiar red telephone box sat in the middle of the room
>along with a nervous Time Turner pointing his screwdriver straight at Rainbow Dash
"Turner?!"
>TT:"Anon, I don't have time, take the sonic and keep it on her!"
>you did not question why and you take the device from him
>you never realized how small the sonic was in pony-scale
>TS:"Time Turner? How did you get in here?"
>TT:"I ran the T.I.R.D.A.S. on silent mode, I don't want everypony here to know that there's an alien in Equestria!"
>PP:"But... what about -them-?"
>Pinkie points at the petrified doctors and nurses, which one has already fainted
>TT:"We'll deal with them later, now help me wheel Dash inside."
>Twilight and Pinkie start to sever the tubes and monitors hooked up to her
>R:"Wait a minute, where are you taking her?!"
>TT:"Someplace far better to help her, now come on!"
>you walk slowly by Rainbow as Twilight and Pinkie push the bed into the box
>once inside, you meet Solar Nova and she takes the sonic off your hands and stays by Rainbow
>Turner goes back to close the door, when a white hoof stops it
>R:"Wait! Can't we come too?!"
>TT:"No, we don't have time!"
>this time, an orange hoof shoves the door open
>AJ:"Sir, please, let me come with her, shes my closest friend, and I need to be there if anything happens. Please!"
>Turner looks back to you, and you nod in reply
>TT:"Okay, the orange one comes with us, you two stay and sort out everything!"
>he stands aside and lets Applejack in
>R:"*gaaasp!* What in the name of Equestria!?"
>TT:"Bigger on the inside! Can't explain, gotta go!"
>he slides the door shut and runs back to the console
>TT:"Ready everypony?"
>"Yes."
>TT:"Here we go!"
>he throws the main switch, and the T.I.R.D.A.S. fades silently out of the delivery room
>Fluttershy and Rarity are left behind with the hospital staff, dazed and confused at the event that just took place
 
"How much longer?"
>Turner works around the console, flipping switches and watching the monitor
>TT:"Just a few more minutes..."
>Nova was still holding the sonic over Rainbow Dash, and you stood with her by the bed
>Twilight and Pinkie were trying their best to explain to Applejack the whole 'bigger on the inside' concept
>you watched unnerved at Rainbow, who was in an unconscious state
"How exactly is the sonic keeping her alive?"
>SN:"Well, its kinda hard to explain, but the pitch of the driver is suppressing the abdominal muscles, which keep her from contracting."
"Okay, but why?"
>SN:"If she pushes too hard, it might hurt the baby. I-I don't know why."
>you could see Nova's hoof starting to shake nervously
"I can take over, if you want."
>she glances between you and Rainbow, then hands over the sonic
>you stand over Rainbow and keep buzzing at her stomach
 
>AJ:"So let me get this straight, before you met any of us, you went on an adventurin' spree with this guy?"
>PP:"Uh-huh!"
>AJ:"And you never bothered to tell us about it?"
>TS:"Well, Applejack, if she did tell anyone that she went exploring with an alien from another planet, imagine how much controversy there would be!"
>PP:"And believe me, there are waaay worse things out there who want to find TT. -Waaay- worse."
>AJ:"Then why the hay are we trusting him?"
>the pink pony looks behind her to Turner making his way around the console, and smiles
>PP:"...Because we can."
 
>TT:"Alright everypony, we're here! Prepare for materialization!"
>he throws the main switch, and the familiar whooshing of the engines grow as the T.I.R.D.A.S. makes its landing
>the box lands, and Turner makes his way to the door
>TT:"Now then, I need to speak with my acquaintances outside, then I need you all to bring her in as fast as possible. Okay?"
>you and the group nods, then Turner quickly exits
>then just as quickly, he sticks his head back through the door
>TT:"Oh, and just a heads up, don't react too... frightened when you meet them, they find it offensive."
"What?"
>TT:"Back in a mo'!"
>the door slides shut again
>from outside, you could hear indistinct conversation between Time Turner and something... definitely female in tone of voice
>finally he fully opens the door
>TT:"Alright, bring her out -slowly-."
>you steadied the sonic over Rainbow as Pinkie, Twilight, and Nova pushed her out of the T.I.R.D.A.S. and into the strange place
>what lied outside of the big red box almost made your brain explode from sheer wonder
"What in the-"
>"Hello, and welcome to the Interstellar state hospital."
>a voice called from an intercom
>the building was massive, almost the size of a cathedral painted solid white
>you could only describe as -aliens-, real aliens, were walking about the hospital in white clothing, presumably medical staff
>as you looked around, you face back to a white android with a pink interface for eyes and a mouth before you
>TT:"Everypony, this is nurse Andrea, she'll be helping us with Rainbow."
>Ad:"Greetings."
>your spaghetti begins to pour out, and you almost dropped the sonic
"H-H-H-Hiiii..."
>Ad:"Please, follow me."
>the android nurse starts to walk forward in the opposite direction, and you and the group follow behind
 
End of part 2
=============
 
>the great architecture of the hospital was beyond comprehension
>arches flowed from the ground to the ceiling, sunshine beamed through skylights, it was all too beautiful
>and the patrons walking around you were just as amazing
>while you did see a few humans here and there, most aliens were almost indescribable
>some were short, some were tall, some had tentacles, some were robots!
>you didn't see any anthropomorphic feline nurses, sadly
 
>nurse Andrea finally stops at a circular door, and motions to enter
>the door suddenly opens in three sections, like an aperture
>it was really hard to focus on holding the sonic without flipping out over your surroundings
>inside the room, there was a mellow feeling, more soothing and calm than an average hospital room
>the equipment, even the bed, were rounded and streamlined, all completely white
>the ponies position Rainbow next to the bed, and you hand over the sonic to Turner
>Andrea holds up her wrist and begins to type out a message on a communication device within her arm
>a door from within the room opens, and three different robots roll out
>the tallest one began to connect what looked like IV tubes into Rainbow, but the bags were full of different colored liquids
>the medium one had two flat arms, which positioned itself by the side of Rainbow, then slides them underneath her back
>it calls out three short *beeps* to the smallest robot
>the medium robot lifts up Rainbow, then the small robot pushes away the old bed, and lastly the medium robot lowers her down onto the new bed
>the medium retracts its arms, and turns to Time Turner
>M:"Thank. You. Sir. We. Can. Handle. The. Rest."
>Turner nods then clicks off the sonic
>the medium turns back to the tallest
>M:"Begin. Fluid. Drip."
>T:"Affirmative."
>the tallest replied in a deep voice, and the blue and orange colored liquid flows down the tubes and into Rainbow Dash
>you lean over to Andrea and ask
"What's the stuff in those bags?"
>and without hesitation, she replies
>Ad:"The contents of the blue pouch are muscle relaxants, and the contents of the orange pouch are tranquilizers. We need to keep Mrs. Dash as stable as possible until the doctor arrives."
>while you asked Andrea more questions, the girls were discussing about the hospital
>TS:"My Celestia, this place is amazing! We're actually in an alien hospital!!!"
>PP:"Yep, I've been here a few times. They've got some of the most state-of-the-art medical staff -and- equipment."
>TS:"Isn't this place incredible Applejack? ...Applejack?"
>the country pony was sitting on her rump next to Rainbow, staring down at her
>Twilight began to reach for her shoulder, then Solar Nova stops her
>SN:"It'd be best just to leave her alone, mate. She almost lost her best friend but a few minutes ago."
>they both look to Applejack, as she continues to watch patiently
 
>soon, the smallest robot wheels up to Andrea and beeps out some kind of code
>Ad:"He's about to perform a sonogram to check the status of the child. Would you like to see the determined gender?"
"I... Uh-"
>Ad:"It is entirely your choice, Mr. Anon."
"..Y'know, I think Dash would've wanted to keep it a surprise. I just won't look."
>TS:"What's a 'sono-gram'?"
>Ad:"A sonogram is an sound-based diagnostic imaging technique used for visualizing internal body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, vessels and internal organs for possible pathology or lesions. The practice of examining pregnant females using ultrasound is the most common use."
>TS:"...Oh."
>the smallest robot raises its thin, short arms, which extend upwards and conjoin to form a hoop-like shape
>the hoop starts to descend over Rainbow's stomach and emits a high pitched whine
>it makes several passes up and down, then a small device protrudes from the robot's head
>Andrea waves her palm, and the light of the room magically dims
>a light now shown from the smallest robot onto the flat wall opposite of you like a projector
>you quickly turn away nervously
>PP:"Aww look at how little it is!"
>TS:"Can you tell what gender it is nurse?"
>Ad:"Of course, clearly it is-"
>suddenly the brown hat of AJ looks up
>AJ:"Hey! Anon didn't want to hear remember? I think we should respect his wishes and wait."
>an awkward moment of silence follows Applejack's sudden outburst after being so quiet
 
>Ad:"Analysis: Subject healthy. Appears to be in perfect condition for delivery, yet subject host unable to give birth."
>Andrea raises her arms and swivels the picture of the sonogram as if it was virtual reality
>she stops when the picture is in view from directly facing the top of the baby's head
>Ad:"Subject host appears to be under the minimum dilation measurement."
"So she's not able to deliver the baby?"
>Ad:"Correct."
"So... that means-?"
>Ad:"The subject must be delivered via Caesarean section."
>AJ:"Casa what now?"
"*sigh* A C-section, for short, its when the doctors cut open a bigger opening to help get the baby out, if there ever was a complication with the... mother..."
>you look back over to Rainbow, who was now soundly under the anesthetics
>TS:"So the doctor is going to gut Rainbow like a fish?! Won't that kill her?!"
>Ad:"Negative. I can assure you the procedure is entirely safe."
"I can vouch for Andrea, humans back on Earth invented the process-"
>at last, the wide circular door opens and a tall figure steps into the room
>the light from outside the room caused an annoying glare, which made it difficult to see
>when the door closed, you almost bwahaha'd like Hank Hill
>the male creature was something of a lizard/praying mantis hybrid in a white smock
>and anthro... of course
>he had six thin arms, three coming out of each sleeve in the coat
>the strange pincers around his mouth wiggled with every word
>"Sorry for the delay, the hospital is packed today with patients. Nurse, what seems to be the problem?"
>Ad:"Subject: Rainbow Dash, species: equine, homeworld: Equestria, subject is pregnant and in delivery state, but is not to dilation requirements and a Caesarean section is needed to deliver the child."
>"Oh a C-section? Yeah, yeah, we'll have your kid out in a few quick seconds."
>the mantis man turns to you and the group
>"Oh pardon me, where are my manners? Good afternoon, I am doctor Monroe Baskalitz."
>he extends three of his arms to you, which you shook nervously
"I uh, I'm Anon, Anon y. Mous, I'm Rainbow Dash's husband."
>MB:"A human with a pony? Interesting, how exactly did you and her create a child?"
>hes not to hesitant to ask questions
"Magic spell."
>MB:"Ah! Arcane science! Should have guessed it. And who are the others?"
"Oh, this is Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack."
>TS:"Hello."
>PP:"Hi!"
>AJ:"Howdy."
"And this is-"
>MB:"*gasp!* Time Turner and Solar Nova?! I-I had no idea you were here, you should've had a more proper welcome!"
>TT:"No need doc, we just brought all of them here."
>SN:"I guess you didn't see the big red box standing in the middle of the reception?"
>MB:"Heh-heh, yeah I guess not. Anyway!"
>he rubs his hands together
>MB:"Lets get this show on the road, shall we? Staff, execute operation 784 Alpha-Delta."
>the robots chime "Affirmative" in sync, and activate their protocols
>once in position, Monroe dawns slender gloves for each of his six arms, and Andrea stands by with a tray of futuristic looking tools
>MB:"Decrease tranquilizer flow by 50%."
>the tallest robot replies "Affirmative.", then the orange liquid from the bag starts to slow down its drip rate
>a few minutes later, you hear a slight groan from Rainbow
"Rainbow, Sweetie? Can you hear me?"
>RD:"Nhh..."
>AJ:"We're right here with ya, Dash."
>her eyes slowly crack open, and you could see her pupils look over to you and Applejack
"Sweetie, blink if you can hear me?"
>a moment passes, then she blinks slowly
>you could see her trying to mouth words, and you make out her saying "water"
"Can we get some water for her?"
>the smallest robot rolls by your feet, and extends a thin hose out from it's arm
>you take it and hold it up to her lips
>the clear fluid flows gently from the nozzle and into her mouth, and she tiredly gulps it down
>RD:*ahh, that's better.*
>her voice was so quiet, it almost tore your heart out
>AJ:"Oh thank Celestia, she's alright."
>RD:*hey... Applejack..."
>she pulls off a small grin at the sight of her best friend
>AJ:"Ah'm here Dash, so is Twilight and Pinkie."
>RD:*r-really?*
>Twilight and Pinkie walk over to the bed and say hello
>RD:*...where's everyone else?*
"They're... back home Sweetie, we're not... -exactly- in Equestria right now."
RD:*what?*
>Time Turner and Solar Nova now come over and show themselves
>RD:*that explains a lot.*
>she lets out a small chuckle, then suddenly grunts in pain
"Doctor, when can you start?"
>MB:"Whenever shes ready, Mr. Mous."
>RD:*Anon... who's that?*
"Its your doctor, Rainbow, but there's something I need to tell you before he can proceed."
>you explain to her how the C-section works
>her face turns blank, but she understood what needed to be done
>you hold her hoof, then turn to Monroe and tell him to go ahead and start
>MB:"Don't worry, it'll all be over soon."
>his arms all stretch out, all in equal directions before Rainbow
>two of them raise up her gown to expose her stomach, while the other four feel her over
>MB:"Hmm, nurse! Marker."
>Andrea hands over a large black pen to Monroe, when he then traces a dotted line horizontally, then vertically in the middle of Rainbow's lower abdomen
>MB:"Alright, nurse! Scalpel and two braces please."
>Andrea hands over the tools, and Monroe holds the two braces in his arms while he activates the laser-like scalpel
>you suddenly felt a bad feeling in your gut, and lean over Rainbow
*Hey Sweetie, don't look, okay? Just look at me.*
>you turn her face towards you, hoping that she wouldn't panic
>her eyes already showed signs of fear, but you kiss her and stroke her mane
>Monroe adjusts his instrument to where the blade shrunk down to a more thin edge, then positions it above her skin
>MB:"Only be a second..."
>he pierces the light blue fur, and Rainbow lets out a muffled yelp
>you keep holding her hoof and not let her watch the operation
>Monroe steadily moves the scalpel across the dotted line
>the other ponies watched him in suspense
>he finally reaches the other end, then retracts the blade
>next he moves the blade to the vertical line and cuts downward
>Rainbow bit her lower lip in pain
>finally Monroe finishes the cut and removes the scalpel
>placing it back on Andrea's tray, he then takes hold of the two braces and frees two other arms
>an audible *squelch* of flesh and muscles sound off as Monroe holds her open
>he quickly places the two braces in between her abdomen to hold it open
>MB:"Nurse! Sponge."
>Andrea takes a yellow sponge off the tray and mops the doctor's forehead
>with all six arms free, he sticks four of them deep within Rainbow's muscles, then slowly stretches them apart
>Rainbow couldn't help but to cry out painfully
"Shh-shh, its okay. Its okay."
>you keep petting her mane
>TS:"Doctor, is there any way we could give her more anesthetics?"
>MB:"No can do, we need her at least half awake for the procedure to work. Nurse! A light please?"
>Andrea extends her index finger, which transforms mechanically into a light source
>MB:"Thank you, that's much better."
>Monroe takes his last two arms and prods around inside Rainbow
>MB:"Lets see, where are- ahah! I can feel it!
>AJ:"Well hurry up then, she's hurting doc!"
"Sweetie, its almost over okay?"
>Rainbow was wincing in pain
>MB:"This is it, time to pull out."
"Dash, are you ready?"
>she pants, then nods in response
>MB:"Nurse on standby?"
>Ad:"Yes sir."
>MB:"Staff on standby?"
>Robots:"Affirmative."
>Monroe's arms stiffen, then the exhales
>MB:"Three, two, one."
>he slowly pulls on the fetus, and it starts to slide out with his arms
>Rainbow cries out, then whimpers
>her hoof death-grips your hand, but you were more focused on keeping her calm
>the doctor stops briefly, and calls out
>MB:"I can see the head, you're doing great Mrs. Dash!"
"You can do this Sweetie, I believe in you."
>you kiss her on the forehead again
>MB:"Again... three, two, one!"
>he pulls again, and another cry come out from Rainbow
>MB:"Al-...most-... there-"
>RD:"AAAHHH CELESTIAAA-"
>suddenly, she stops, and breathes in short gasps
>an eerie silence filled the room
>Monroe withdrawals all of his arms and holds something just out of view
>MB:"...C'mon, breathe."
>his arms make a light tapping sound
 
>a faint coughing, followed by a shrill cry comes from below, and he sighs with relief
>MB:"Nurse! A towel and scissors please."
>the medium robot dispenses a white cloth from its side, which Andrea takes and hands to Monroe
>he takes it and places it beneath the baby
>next he takes the scissors off the tray and severs the umbilical cord
"So... what is it, doc?"
>Monroe looks up with cheerful eyes
>MB:"Its a girl!"
>the ponies behind you cheered, and you stood in shock and awe
>Monroe swaddles the little mare in the towel and hands her to you
>you take her with open hands hold her next to Rainbow
>MB:"Now the, I need to sew up the cuts... Nurse! Scalpel please."
"Scalpel? Don't you mean sutures?
>MB:"Sutures? Sir I don't mean to be rude, but we've come a loooong way from mere stitches."
>he takes the scalpel off Andrea's tray and shows off the laser blade
>he adjusts the tool until the point is flat and blunt
>MB:"Watch this."
>Monroe waves the tool right over his arms without any damage
>MB:"If this -was- in scalpel mode, I would've cut my arm off. This specific setting doesn't cut, but conjoins wounds together and forms a scar."
>he then starts to hover the tool over the Rainbow's cuts
>they slowly start to fuse back together and leave a scar behind
>RD:"I...I didn't even feel it."
>MB:"And you're already starting to feel better too, I see. And don't worry about your belly, it should start to shrink down in a few hours."
>RD:"Oh thank Celestia."
>you laugh, then kneel beside Rainbow
>the other ponies surround you as well, and you look around to them
>the past two years have been one hell of a ride, but it would have never happened if not thanks to these special ponies
 
"Now, lets see our little Anomaly..."
>you remove the hood covering the baby, and low and behold, was your precious child
>her coat was a dark green, with lime hair and yellow highlights
>she cooed softly in your arms, while everyone around you simultaneously "aww'd"
>RD:"C-can I hold her, Honey?"
"Of course, Sweetie."
>you start to hand over Anomaly, but then stop
"First things first..."
>Rainbow looks confused
"I told you."
>you smirk cheekily
>RD:"...Oh shut up! I was still hoping for a boy."
>you both laugh, and then lay Anomaly gently down into Rainbow's arms
>she looked over her newborn daughter, and softly brushes her mane
>tears of joy were welling up in Rainbow's eyes
>RD:"Shes... so beautiful, Anon."
>you lean down and kiss Rainbow
"I'm so proud of you, Sweetie."
>RD:"Hey, I don't deserve all the credit. You did great too."
>she giggles, then Twilight suddenly perks up
>TS:"Guys look!"
>she points to Anomaly, who was starting to open her eyes
>once they were open enough, you could see the bright pink irises
>PP:"Aww she's got your eyes, Rainbow!"
>RD:"Do you guys want to hold her?"
>TS&PP:"YASS!"
>you pick up Anomaly from Rainbow, and hand her over to Twilight
"Be careful."
>TS:"Of course. Hey little girl..."
>Twilight rocked Anomaly in her arms, and she giggles at the cuteness of the baby
>PP:"Twily C'mon! Lemme hold her!!!"
>TS:"Okay okay calm down! Here."
>she hands over Anomaly to Pinkie, and the party pony lifts her up to her face
>Anomaly looks at Pinkie, then lets out a tiny coo
>PP:"She. Is. So. CUUUTE!"
>she lightly hugs Anomaly over her shoulder, then looks to Applejack
>PP:"...D-Do you wanna hold her, AJ?"
>the orange pony looks up from the corner of Rainbow's bed, then looks at you and Rainbow as if asking for permission
"Go ahead, its okay."
>her face turns to a dim shade of melancholy, then she holds open her arms and receives Anomaly from Pinkie Pie
>Applejack cradles Anomaly, and slowly rocks her back and forth
>Anomaly seemed to smile and coo even more by being with her
>Applejack smiles with bittersweet tears rolling down her cheeks
>AJ:"Shoot, shes t-the one who's supposed to be cryin', not me."
>she hands Anomaly back to you, and she wipes off her stained face
"You okay, Applejack?"
>AJ:"Y-yeah, *sniff* I'm fine."

>a few hours pass in the hospital, giving Rainbow enough time to regain her strength
>you let Solar Nova hold Anomaly, then she tried to get Time Turner to take a turn
>Turner tried to decline, but he eventually gave in and held her for a quick second
>TT:"She really is a cutie, isn't she?"
 
>for a while, it was just quiet
>nurse Andrea stayed with you just in case there was an emergency
>you and Applejack sat next to Rainbow, who held Anomaly in her arms
>Twilight, Pinkie, Turner, and Nova sat in chairs against the wall
>reading magazines, staring at the ceiling, or just sleeping
>you held Rainbow's hoof, and the both of you watched admiringly as little Anomaly slept in her mother's care
>Ad:"Excuse me, Mr. Mous?"
"Yes?"
>Ad:"It has come to my attention that you have minor wounds on your cranium and right hand."
>you had forgotten about the bandages over your cuts
"Oh, yeah its nothing-"
>Ad:"I can heal them quickly, if you prefer."
>RD:"Is it the same thing as when the doc closed me up?"
>Ad:"Yes."
>RD:"Honey, it didn't even hurt, let her help."
>you anxiously leave Rainbow's side, and stand in front of Andrea
>Ad:"Hold still please."
>Andrea removes the bandages from your hand first, and holds up the laser tool over the cuts
>you watch as your skin warps together and is sealed by a natural scar
>she finishes quickly, and you rub your left palm over your right hand in disbelief
>Andrea now turns to the back of your head and removes it's bandage
>Ad:"How did you acquire these injuries, Mr. Mous?"
"I uh, was trying to get a cat out of a tree."
>a snicker was heard from the ponies
>Andrea fires up the laser and waves it over the gash in your head
>it magically seals without any felling at all
"Thank you."
>Andrea nods politely
>the main door to the room opens, and doctor Monroe enters
>MB:"So, how's our little patient doing?"
"She's perfect, doc."
>MB:"Glad to hear. You, tall robot, whats the current measurement of your liquids?"
>T:"Tranquilizer at 20%, Relaxant at 10%."
>MB:"Alright, as soon as they've depleted into her system she'll be able to check out and head back to your home world."
>you walk over to Monroe
"Doc, I can't tell you how -thankful- I am-"
>MB:"Hey, don't mention it. Just doing my job sir."
>he extends three of his arms in a handshake, but you wrap your arms around him
>Monroe doesn't know how to react at first, but then he pats you on the back
>you break the hug and go back to Rainbow
>TT:"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to get the T.I.R.D.A.S. warmed up. Nova, escort them when they're ready to leave."
>SN:"Sure Turner."
>Time Turner leaves the room, and shortly after so does doctor Monroe
 
>at last the tallest robot signaled that the bags were empty, and detaches the IV tubes from Rainbow
>Andrea and the medium robot help lift Rainbow back onto the original hospital bed from Equestria
>you hand over Anomaly to Rainbow, and she cradles her softly
>you and the group follow Solar Nova back to the center of the hospital along with nurse Andrea
>the big red telephone box stood in the center, like a statue that somehow belonged there
>like a symbol of hope
>Nova opened the sliding door and you push Rainbow inside
>Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, and Nova follow behind
>you look back out the door one last time to see Andrea waving goodbye
>you nod and wave briefly before Nova closes the door
 
>TT:"Ready everypony?"
>you all nod, and Turner throws the main switch
>*ka-chunk!*
>*whoooooosh!* *whoooooosh!* *whoooosh!* *whoooosh~*

>the T.I.R.D.A.S. appears from thin air inside the Equestrian hospital room
>the doctors and nurses gasp in suprise
>Fluttershy, Spike, and Rarity were shocked to see it come back
>the door opens, and Rainbow is pushed out by Twilight and Pinkie, then you follow out carrying Anomaly
>Turner sticks his head out from the sliding door
>TT:"Remember, don't tell -anypony- what's happened. I'll talk to you later!"
>he shuts the door, then the telephone box quietly vanishes away
>R:"Good heavens! You're back!"
>FS:"Are you alright, Rainbow Dash?"
>RD:"Yeah, I'm fine."
>S:"W-Where have you been?!"
"No time to explain, how long have we been gone?"
>Rarity looks to a wall clock
>R:"I think just about a half hour, why?"
"Hmm, that's cutting it close, but its about the normal time."
>it finally occurred to Rarity that she notices the little package you're holding in your arms
>R:"...A-Anon? What is -that-?"
>you kneel down beside Rainbow Dash, and motion Rarity and Fluttershy to come over
>Twilight, Pinkie, and Applejack stood behind you
>RD:"Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, meet our little filly!"
>you unveil the hood of the swaddle, and hold up Anomaly to the white and yellow ponies and dragon
>R:"*gaaasp!* Oh my stars! Shes gooorgeous!"
>FS:"Awww little Anomaly. Rainbow, shes beautiful."
>Rainbow blushes, and you let them take turns holding Anomaly
>one of the head doctors walks over, visibly shaken, but trying to calm down
>"Um M-Mr. Mous, there's a crowd w-waiting outside. Shouldn't w-we tell P-Ponyville the news?"
>you smile, then pat the doctor on his shoulder
"I think you're right doc, let the ponies hear the good news."
>the doctor arranges for a nurse to tell the ponies outside beforehand as the rest of the staff help Rainbow off the bed and into a wheelchair
>Fluttershy gives Anomaly to her mother, and then gives Rainbow a hug
>as you and the group begin to walk out, Spike pipes up with something important
>S:"Hey Anon, what kind of pony is she?"
"...What?"
>S:"You never told us what kind of pony is she? I mean, shes obviously not a unicorn, so is she earth or pegasai?"
>everyone from the group blushed red in embarrassment
>RD:"We... kinda forgot to check."
>R:"You-...You are joking... right?"
>you shook your head in humiliation
>FS:"Well, now is a good a time as ever. Why not find out?"
>you nod, then slowly unravel the blanket around Anomaly
>everyone around you waits in suspense
>the cloth is removed form her body, but to your disappointment, found a lack of wings
"Oh no..."
>Rainbow's face grew sad, and she leans her head into her hoofs
"Sweetie, I'm not-"
>RD:"I know, I know. 'you're not mad or sad' or whatever. I was just... hoping, you know?"
"Yeah, me too."
>you re-wrap Anomaly in the towel, and give her to Rainbow
"It doesn't mean I love her less."
>Rainbow smiles meekly, and continues to cradle Anomaly
>AJ:"Well if y'all want to keep mopin' around like this, we'll have plenty a' time -after- we share the news, now c'mon."
>RD:"Applejack's right, lets go."
"...Lets."
>you nod reassuringly
>you take hold of the wheelchair and push Rainbow down the halls of the hospital
>numerous doctors, nurses, and patrons cheered for you and Rainbow Dash
>you turned one last corner towards the front door, and you could see the large crowd of ponies through the glass doors
"You ready?"
>RD:"...Yeah."
>she looks up confidently
>Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike hold open the left door, while Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy hold open the right
>you push forward until you could hear nothing but the deafening roar of the ponies outside
 
>three days later...
>it was a quiet morning, and you step outside your house and walk down the path to collect the morning paper
>you untie the string and unfold it to see in bold print
"MIRACLE FOAL IS BORN!"
>you chuckle to yourself, then fold the paper underneath your arm and walk back inside
>in the living room sat Rainbow Dash, who was holding up a milk bottle as Anomaly nursed from her arms
"I didn't expect you to be up this early."
>Rainbow looks up surprised, then smiles
>RD:"You think you can sneak out of bed -every- time?"
>she chuckles
>you laugh, then take a seat next to Rainbow
"Well, I try."
>you Eskimo-kiss your wife, and look down to your daughter
"How is she?"
>RD:"She sleeps like a rock and eats like a-"
"Horse?"
>Rainbow scrunches, then laughs while saying
>RD:"Pretty much!"
>you brush little Anomaly's mane
>she was your beautiful little daughter, held by your beautiful wife
>a rainbow pony on the couch
