Hi everypony, welcome back again!

I'm sorry if this has taken a while again, I've been busy with other things. I don't have much to say today, mostly just the Pony News will have stuff I forgot to mention last time.

This chapter may appear a bit short, I haven't got much of an idea for this one.

Anyway, I'll try, enjoy.

Chapter 57: Big news, big trouble

It's been a full week since I fought the ferrous monster, the Jersey Devil, and lost. Since then, I've been recovering from the brutal beating he gave me.

I informed Celestia about Swampville and all the ponies being abused by Jersey's rampage, which she took immediate action to. She sent a large group of guards to the town and they set up a protective force-field around the entire town along with a large part of the area around it. No matter where Jersey comes, he won't be able to get in.

I had to take a few days off work and didn't go to Moleyair's home to train. But now, I was ready to get back out there and continue my life. The only problem was the stinging pain on my body from Jersey's bite, out of all the injuries he gave me, that was the worst, I had a few bandages wrapped around my body to keep it clean and put pressure on it.

I even went back to training with Moleyair, he said he had something important to teach me in my next lesson. I wondered what it was, if Moleyair says it's important, it must be something worthwhile.

Steets of Ponyville

I walked through the snow-covered street pulling Applejack's supply wagon behind me, I had already spend almost an hour delivering supplies and I was now nearly done, I just had a few more placed to go.

Jeff was with me, he was riding on my back watching my progress the whole time. Since I got back from the swamps, he hasn't let me out of my sight, he and Twilight have a crazy idea that I'm gonna collapse from pain over my bite wound. It felt a bit uncomfortable having a pair of eyes watching the back of my head all the time.

I turned my head around to face him. "Jeff, you know I can do this by myself, right? I'm a grown stallion, I don't need a babysitter." I stated.

"Sorry Matt, orders from Twilight, I'm not allowed to leave you out of sight, not until you heal up anyway." Jeff said. "Also, she said it was punishment for not telling her you were going after Jersey."

I rolled my eyes before I turned my attention to the path in front of me. "This is completely stupid. If she's so worried about me, why is she letting me work and train with Moleyair?" I asked.

Jeff shrugged. "Beats me, dude, just be glad she's actually letting do these things instead of keeping you in the house all the time." He said.

I sighed. "Yeah, I suppose so." I said before I looked around at all the snow and ponies wearing winter clothes. "Winter's definitely coming, isn't it?" I asked.

"Coming? I say it's already here. The lakes are frozen, the kids are building snow-ponies and there winter-wear is selling like hot cupcakes." Jeff stated as she sighted each of his descriptions.

"I wish I had some of those winter outfits, I'm freezing out here, man." I said while shivering with coldness.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and Discord appeared in front of me. He had changed his appearance to look like Genie from Aladdin, the only thing that wasn't changed was his face, but he still had the facial hair of Genie. "You wish is my command." He said before he snapped his fingers.

With that, winter-wear appeared on me. I was wearing a dark-green coat, a blue wool hat and a red scarf. "Discord, wh-…what the hell?" I said, surprised by the sudden act.

Discord then changed his body back to normal. "No need to thank me, Matthew. Just think of it as a good deed. I've been doing a lot of those lately."

"Well this is really nice of you, Discord, I was really starting to freeze my…wait, what do you mean you've been doing good deeps lately?" I asked, almost scared to find out.

Discord stroked his beard with a grin on his face. "Well let's just say there fisher-ponies in a small town not far from here won't need of their fish gear for a while."

Meanwhile: Lake a few miles away from town

Stallions in fisher outfits stared a giant pile of flapping fish with wide eyes and hanging jaws.

Back in Ponyville

Discord floated there with a proud smile as we looked up at him. "Wow Discord, that's very…helpful of you." I said, trying to find the right words.

"Why thank you, Matthew." He said before he suddenly slivered up from behind me. "And remember, if you ever need any help from your old pal, Discord, just give me a dingle-ling." He said as he floated past me ringing his tail tip which had turned into a small gold bell.

I then thought about my bite wound, if anyone could fix it for me, he could. "Well Discord, there is something I need from-"

"Now if you'll excuse me." he said before he snapped his fingers again and a bunch of shopping bags appeared along both his arms. "I have some holiday shopping to attend to." he said as he floated up into the air.

His tail then straighter as if something was pulling on it before it released and his body rolled up like a spring roller-blind. His body rolled and made the slapping noise before he disappeared in a small flash.

"Hmph, some helpful friend he is." Jeff said with his wings crossed.

"He gave me this winter stuff, didn't he? I'd call that helpful enough. Let's just finish our work and go home, I'd like to have a few minutes to relax before I go to Moleyair's place." I said before I started to walk down the street again.

As we kept moving, Jeff decided to make small-talk. "Hey Matt, do you think Jersey will come looking for ya? He's had a taste of you, he might come back for more." He said.

"That's not something I want to think about, buddy." I stated as we continued to walk to our reach my next destination.

A while later: Library

Twilight was lying on the bed with a sick look on her face, he eyes were baggy and she felt a sickly pain in her stomach. Spike had found out about this and got the others.

Now she was being attended to by Pinkie Pie, she held a thermometer to in Twi's mouth and wearing a head-mirror around her head. She took the thermometer out of her mouth and looked at it. "Oohhh." Pinkie said before she looked at the others. "It looks kinda bad." She said.

After hearing this, Rarity looked at everyone. "I knew it, I knew it, I told you all there was something wrong with her." She stated.

"Rarity, you thought she was ill because her hair was a mess and she was black under the eyes." Applejack said with a raised eye-brow.

Rarity turned to face her. "Well when a mare looks that messy, I can only assume there is something wrong with their health." She said.

That moment, Rainbow Dash stepped in between them. "Getting back to the matter, how long have you been like this, Twilight?" she asked, making everyone else look at her with curiousness.

Twilight weakly lifted her head up. "For the last few months or so, I feel like I'm gonna vomit, but then I…*gags*" she gaged and held both her front hooves over her mouth with her open wide.

Rainbow Dash was quick to grab the trash-can in the corner and held it in front of Twilight, so she could vomit in it.

They waited a few moments before Twi stopped and gently pushed the trash-can away from her. "But then I don't, as you just saw." She finished.

Fluttershy climbed up on the bed and lied next to her, she placed her hoof and Twi's back and gently stroked it. "I'll be alright, Twilight, you'll feel better eventually. But you should go see the doctor, he might be able to help." She said in her kind voice.

Twilight turned her head to face her. "I would, but…I can't, more important things are at stake, I need to help Matt find the pony who's been stealing the Elements. Besides, Matt's not in the best shape himself, somepony needs to take care of him." she said.

"Matt's a grown stallion, he can take care of himself. You need to start workin' on getting better, startin' with goin' to the doctor." Applejack said.

Twilight was about to respond, but then they heard the front-door open downstairs. "Twily, I'm home." I said loudly for her to hear through-house the library.

Twilight's eyes shot open. "Oh my gosh! Matt's home, I can't let him see me like this." She said before she weakly climbed off the bed and made her way down the small set of stairs that led to the exit.

But as she reached the bottom of the stairs, Rainbow Dash stopped her by flying down in front of her. "What's the rush, Twilight? It's just Matthew." She said before she had a thought that made her feel a little angry. "Did he make you ill like this? Is he doing something to you that we don't know about?" she asked.

Twilight was shocked by what she was suggesting. "What?! No! Never! Rainbow Dash, how could you think like that about him? He's your friend!"

The others made their way down the stairs until they reached Twilight. "I must agree with Twilight, how could you think such a rotten thing?" Rarity asked.

Rainbow Dash hovering in mid-air and turned away with her arms crossed. "Because…there's just something I don't like about him recently…ever since his birthday a while ago, I just…grrrr!" she groaned in frustration as she held her head with her hooves.

Everyone looked at her with confusion. "His birthday? What happened that day that made you...oohh." Fluttershy said as she understood.

Everyone else looked at her. "What is it?" Applejack asked curiously.

Rainbow Dash stayed in the air, facing away from them as she listened closely to what they were saying.

"Remember when we played Truth or Dear? Rainbow Dash and Matt were forced to kiss and everyone was ok with it. Maybe Rainbow Dash thinks Matt isn't as loyal as everyone thinks, if he was ok with kissing another pony besides Twilight, then maybe he'd try making a habit of it with other mares." Fluttershy explained.

After hearing that, everyone got a good idea of what she meant and looked back up at Rainbow Dash. "Is that true, dear?" Rarity asked her.

Rainbow Dash kept facing away from them. "No!...I mean, maybe…or…probably." She said, struggling to come up with the right answer.

Twilight gave her a comforting smile. "Rainbow Dash, haven't we been over this alright? It was just a game….and if I remember correctly, he wasn't really up for it, he needed my say-so and everything." She stated.

Applejack then stepped forward. "Plus, I think you kissed him more than he kissed you." she stated with a smirk.

At that moment, Rainbow Dash turned around and shot down until her face was right in front of Applejack's. "Oh yeah?! Well…I was just trying to….he was probably…I'll have you know that…ah forget it!" she said before she flew over to a window, opened it and shot out through it.

"Talk about touchy." Pinkie blurted out as they all stared at the window Rainbow flew out of.

Just then, I came up the stairs and saw everyone. "Hi ladies, what going on?" I asked with a smile.

They all looked at each other before Twilight walked up to me. "Nothing Matt, we were just talking." She said with a small smile.

I then noticed the look of her eyes and mane, she looked at complete mess like she was gonna collapse at any moment. "Are you alright, Twi? You don't look so good." I said as I gently placed my hoof on her cheek.

She placed her hoof on top of mine. "I'm alright, Matt…there's nothing to worry about." she said with the same smile.

Applejack walked up beside her and gave her a firm look. "Twilight, tell Matt the truth, ya need help." She said.

I looked at Applejack before I looked back at Twilight and removed my hoof. "Help? Help with what? Is something wrong?" I asked, starting to worry.

Twilight looked at Applejack and got a nod from her before she faced me. "Matt…I don't feel well…I feel terrible." She said weakly.

I instantly grew concerned for her, but I was also shocked that she didn't tell me sooner. "I knew there was something wrong, you haven't been acting yourself lately. How long has it been going on for?" I asked.

"She says she's felt like this for the last few months or so." Fluttershy said as she hovered over to us.

I took a step closer to Twilight and placed my hoof gently under her chin. "Twi, why didn't you tell me sooner?" I asked.

Twilight looked down at the floor for a moment before she looked into my eyes. "Because you have more than enough to deal with. Your work, your training, your injuries and your trying to track down that mysterious pony…I don't want you to worry about me as well." She said.

I stayed silent for a moment before I sat down. "Twilight, listen to me…there is nothing more important to me in all of existence than you. My job, my training…this case…I'll stop doing them all to make sure you're safe. Now you say you're sick, then there's only one thing in my mind…to take you to the hospital and have you looked at A-S-A-P." I said with fully honesty.

After hearing that, Twilight felt heart-warmed and gave me a sweet smile. "You know, I sometimes forget how much you love me…but I'll never forget how much I love you, Matt." she said as she nuzzled her head against the side of my neck.

I smiled at this and rubbed her back with my hoof.

The others watched us with heart-warming smiles and Pinkie burst out crying. "That's so beautiful! *loud sops*" she said as she wiped her tears with her hoof.

Rarity saw this and used her magic to give her a handkerchief, Pinkie noticed it in front of her and she took it with her hoof. "Thanks." She said as she used the hanky to wipe her dramatic tears.

Twilight and I then stepped away from each other. "Now let's get you to a doctor." I said before we started making our way towards the stairs that led down to the living-room with the others following behind.

Once we reached the living-room, Twilight and I went over to the front-door to leave the Library. But before we could, Applejack stopped us by calling out. "Hold on a sec…if you're here, where's my supply cart?" she asked.

I turned my head around to face her. "You weren't at home so I left it in the barn and told Big Mac, I gave him the money I earned and he gave me my pay. Don't worry, everything's in order." I said with a confident smile.

Applejack raised her eye-brow. "Oh yeah, then tell me this…where's Jeff?" she asked.

At that moment, my confident smile vanished and my eyes grew wide.

Meanwhile: Sweet Apple Archers

Jeff was standing on top of the supply cart in the barn, he was repeatedly tapping his talon with an impatient look on his face. "Where the hay is Matt? He told me to wait here and it's been half-an-hour." He said before he huffed and crossed his wings, continuing to wait for me.

A while later: Ponyville hospital

After collecting Jeff and going to the hospital, the doctor took Twilight away to have her checked and left us all in the waiting room.

The rest of the Mane 6 (except Rainbow), Spike and Jeff were sitting on the small stools while I paced back and forth nervously, I've never seen Twilight so ill before, I was really worried about her.

After a few minutes of silence, Rarity broke it. "Matthew, sweetie, you really must calm down and relax, I'm sure everything will be fine." She said with a small reassuring smile.

I stopped pacing and looked at her. "How can I? Twilight's in one of those rooms, alone, probably scared." I said in a slightly panicky voice.

"Listen Matt, if there's one thing I know about Twilight, it's that she's not scared of bein' sick, even if she needs to go to the hospital." Applejack stated confidently.

I calmed down a little. "Ok…ok yeah…she's dealt with worse, much worse." I walked over to the others and sat down near them. "It's probably just a case of the flu, nothing serious."

Jeff flew over and landed next to me with a confident smile. "Yeah, nothin' serious…unless it's one of those diseases that can dose real damage with a cure that's almost impossible to get." He said as he rubbed the bottom of his beak with his wing.

Hear this made me panic again and I started to hyperventilate, the others noticed this and looked at Jeff. "Thanks Jeff, now he's never gonna sleep tonight." Applejack said.

Suddenly, we heard the front doors open and Rainbow Dash flew in with a worried look. "Is it true? Is Twilight here?" she asked as she flew over and landed in front of us.

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes, we came her almost half-an-hour, where have you been?" she asked.

Rainbow Dash looked down at the floor. "I just…needed to cool down, ok." She said before she looked back up at us. "But that's not important right now, have the doctors said anything about Twilight's condition?" she asked curiously.

We all shook our heads. "Not yet, we're still waiting for him to come back and tell us." Rarity said.

"So what do we do? Just wait?" Rainbow Dash asked with a slightly agitated look.

"Apparently so, it's all we can do. You just need to find something to do to pass the time, like Pinkie Pie has." Rarity said as she pointed her hoof over to Pinkie Pie.

She was on the other side of the room playing with some of the toys the kids play with when they're bored, she was playing with a cup-and-ball. She held the handle with her hoof and quickly jerked her arm up, tossing the ball attached to it by a string in the air and she tried to catch it in the cup, but missed…for like the 45th time.

"This game is super hard, it must be cheating or something." Pinkie said with irritation before she tried again and missed…again. "D'oh!"

Rainbow Dash raised her eye-brow before she looked at Rarity again. "Urr…I think I'll just wait with you guys." She said before she sat down beside Applejack and grassed her arms.

-A few minutes later-

We had all waited for quite some time now, the others had almost fallen asleep a few times, Pinkie was still trying to catch the ball at least once, and me…well, I was out.

"*Snores loudly*" I snored loudly as I slept on the chair.

But, after a full hour, the doctor finally came into the waiting room. "Mr Matthew." He said as he looked over to us and noticed me sleeping.

Fluttershy snapped out of her tiredness and looked at me. "Umm, Matt." she said quietly before she placed her hoof on me and shook me lightly. "Matt, the doctor's back and he wants to-"

She didn't get to finish and I suddenly woke up quick. "DON'T GO IN THE SHED!" I yelled loudly.

This made Fluttershy yelp in fight and jump back, making her fall off her chain and onto the floor. Her loud thud snapped the other awake as well and they all acted like they were awake the whole time.

The doctor cleared his throat to get my attention, which he got. "Your wife would like to see you now, Mr Matthew." He said.

I nodded before I got off my chain and walked over to him, I looked back at the others. "I'll be back in a minute." I said.

They all nodded as Fluttershy leaned up off the floor in a small daze.

After that, I followed the doctor out of the waiting-room and into the hallway that led to the hospital rooms. As we walked, I couldn't help but wonder how Twilight was, I looked at the doctor and built up the courage to ask him. "So…how is she?" I asked.

The doctor looked at me and gave me a small comforting smile. "She's fine, I've seen this type of sickness before, lots of times even. I would tell you what it might be, but your wife made it very clear that she would like to tell you instead." He explained.

"Oh…yeah, sure." I said, curious of what it was.

I continued to follow the doctor to the room where Twilight was resting until we reached it, we stood in front of the door as the doctor turned to look at me. "I have another patient to tend to, take all the time you need with your wife." He said before he turned around and walked back down the hall.

With him gone, I faced the door and slowly opened it with my hoof. I poked my head through and saw Twilight lying in the bed under the covers, he head was resting on the pillow and she looked over to me with a bright smile on her face. "Hi Matt." she said.

I walked over to the side of the bed and placed my hoof on it. "Hi Twi, how are you feeling?" I asked gently.

"I'm feeling much better now, the doctor gave me some medicine to stop the headaches, but they couldn't give me anything for my stomach…just in case." Twilight said as she patted her stomach with her hoof.

I looked at her with confusion and wondered why they didn't help her with her stomach problems. "In case of what? Why won't they help you with your stomach?" I asked.

Twilight was silent for a moment before she placed her hoof on top of mine and smiled sweetly at me. "Matt…I'm gonna tell you something important…but you have to promise not to freak out." She said.

"O-…-kay…" I said, getting slightly nervous by this.

"Matt…the doctors say that this may not be an illness, but side-effects of…quite possible…pregnancy." Twilight said as she gave me a slightly nervous smile.

With that, it felt like time stopped and went quiet, I felt a shocking thrill rush but my spine and some of the fur one my body stood up on end, even though it was barely visible. "Wha-…I'm sorry, what?" I asked with a small stutter.

"Possible pregnancy." Twilight repeated she said with the small smile.

I was silent for a moment until I noticed she was waiting for a response, which I quickly gave her. "Pregnancy?...But that means…we could be having-"

"Yes Matt…we could be having a baby." Twilight said as her nervous smile turned into another sweet one.

I didn't know how to react to this, part of me was scared and the other was pleased, I was mostly worried about how this could affect our lives, would it make them better or difficult? "Twilight, that's…I don't know what to say." I said, trying to be honest without hurting her feelings.

Twilight gave me an honest look in return. "I know, I didn't know how to react when the doctor told me, but do you wanna know what I did after? I looked on the bright side of it." she said.

"The bright side of it?" I asked.

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, I mean, having a child isn't the end of the world, it's something for us to cherish and share our love with. Besides, don't you think having a baby will brighten your world?" she asked.

"What do you mean? My world's always been bright, ever since I came here all those months ago, ever since I met you." I said with a loving smile.

Twilight retuned it before she continued. "I know, but there's been some dark stuff happening recently, this could be just what we need to make things seem a little better, don't you think?" she asked.

My ears lowered slightly. "But…what if I'm not cut out for it? What if I'm not ready?"

Twilight gave me a reassuring smile. "Matt, I've seen how you treat Applebloom and her friends, I've seen how you act with the ponies at the schoolhouse, from what I've learned…you'll be a great dad." She said.

I smiled back. "Yeah…you're probably right." I then learned towards her and kissed her cheek. "Thanks Twi." I said lovingly.

Twilight's smile then went away a little. "But like I said, we 'could' be having a baby, meaning…you know." She said, thinking I would understand what she meant.

My ears lowered as I did. "We might not have one, it could just be a mistake."

Twilight nodded. "Yeah, the doctor said it would probably be a few weeks until they can confirm anything." she said before she looked down at her stomach and rubbed it with her hoof. "I'm a little worried, Matt." she said.

I then comforted her by rubbing my head against her's. "It'll be alright Twi, if it is pregnancy, we'll have a little foal of our own, and if not nothing will change between any of us." I said, trying to make her feel better.

It worked a little as Twi smiled slightly. "I know Matt, I think the same way." Twilight then moved her head away from mine and looked me in the eyes. "Do you think we should tell the others about this?" she asked.

I then thought about it before I gave her my answer. "I suppose we can, would be fair to leave them in the dark." I said.

"Yeah, you're probably right." Twilight said in agreement.

At that moment, the doctor came through the door and walked over to us. "Good news Mrs Sparkle, there doesn't seem to be anything seriously wrong with you and you're free to go home." He said with a smile.

We both smiled at this. "Great, I need to finish some work back at the Library." She said as she leaned up on the bed.

"Oh no, no, no, Mrs Sparkle. You can't put yourself through stressful situations like that, not until we know for sure if it's pregnancy or not. Until then , you'll need to take things slow, I'm sure Mr Matthew here can handle some of your work." The doctor explained.

With that, Twilight went speechless. "….I can't do my daily studying? B-But the Princess needs me to do my studying! If I don't, I'll fall behind, I can't afford to lose that much time." She said, starting to panic.

I then gave her a comforting smile. "Don't worry, Twilight, I'll make sure you're up to date with your studies." I said.

Suddenly, Twilight grabbed my face with both her hooves and pulled me right up to her face. "Oh come on Matt, we both know even Jeff has a better chance of doing that than you do." she said loudly.

"Hurtful." I whined before she released my face.

Twilight then looked at the doctor. "What am I supposed to do? I can't tell the Princess I won't be able to do my work because of possible pregnancy, we don't even know if it is that yet." She stated.

"Well Mrs Sparkle, it's up to you. Take it easy for a while or risk harming your child with stress. I'd advise you choose the second one, but I can't make that decision for you." The doctor said before he turned and walked towards the door. "Like I said, you're free to go home when you're ready."

After he left, Twilight placed her hoof on her fore-head as she began to worry over the choice. I saw this and decided to help. "Twi, maybe it's best if you do take it easy, just until we know what's going on, ok? We wouldn't want to harm the baby." I said, hoping she'd agree and calm down.

Twilight looked at me with worry. "But we don't know if it is a baby, what if it's just a false alarm and I get behind on my studies for nothing! I can't disappoint the Princess like that." She said in a stressed tone.

"Twi, if Celestia knew what might be a stake, she'd probably tell you the same thing the doctor did, I'm sure she'd understand. Who knows, maybe she'll but your studies on hold." I said.

Twilight thought about it for a while before she finally agreed. "I suppose you're right, she probably would tell me the same thing. If it's possible I am pregnant, she'd want me to be as careful as possible." She said as she began to climb out of the bed.

I went around to the other side of the bed and helped her down. "That's good, Twi, you're doing the smart thing here." I said as I helped her.

Once I did, she smiled at me before she took a breath. "We better let the others know, huh?" Twilight said gently.

I smiled back and nodded. "Yeah, let's get you home." I said before we made our way over to the door that led to the hallway.

After walking down the hallway, we entered the waiting rooms where the others were waiting for us. Once they saw us, they all ran up to us with questions.

"Are you alright, Twilight? You've been in there for a full hour." Rarity asked.

"We were so worried about you." Fluttershy said with her gentle voice.

"Did they give you a lollipop? If so, can I have one too?" Pinkie asked as she hopped in the air.

Applejack looked at Pinkie with her eye-lids half closed. "Pinkie, can you hold that thought for one second?" she said before she looked at us. "What happened in there? Why were ya so ill?" she asked.

They all listened closely, wanting to know the answer just as badly. Twilight looked at me before I nodded to her, telling her to go for it. With that, Twilight looked at the others and sighed. "The doctor said…that my illness was caused by…possible pregnancy." She finished with a nervous smile.

Everyone gasped in shock, they all looked stunned, but Rarity smiled with complete joy before she hugged Twilight. "Oh Twilight! I'm so happy for you! I never thought this day would come, but it finally did!" she said before she released Twilight from her hug and stepped away.

The others smiled with her. "Yeah, congratulations, you two." Applejack said happily.

"You and Matty are gonna have a foal?" Pinkie Pie asked before she gasped again and started bouncing in excitement. "I smell a Baby Party." She then stopped. "Really, I do, it smells like baby powder." She said with a large smile.

I titled my head. "Ok then…" I said in awkwardness before I looked at everyone else. "Thanks you guys, but I wouldn't get too excited over it yet." I said.

"Why not? You and Twilight are gonna have a kid, it's a pretty big deal." Rainbow Dash stated.

I looked up at her. "Yeah, but there's still a problem with it." I said before I looked at Twilight. "Twilight said it could 'possibly' be pregnancy, meaning it still may not be." I explained.

With that, everyone's smiles went away. "Oh…oh Twilight, I'm sorry we rushed into it like that, we just got over excited." Rarity said calmly.

Twilight smiled at her. "It's ok, Rarity. Matt was the same when he heard the news." Twilight said before she looked back at her stomach. "The doctor said it'll take a few weeks before they find out if it's pregnancy or not, until then we'll just have to wait and see." She said as she looked back at our friends.

Applejack gave her a sweet smile. "Well here's hopin' that you are havin' a foal, you two would be great parents." She said.

"Indeed, you're both responsible and mature enough to have your own child." Rarity said with the same smile.

"Plus, it'll make your lives twice as fun." Pinkie said with her same large smile.

Me and Twilight smiled warmly at them. "Thanks, that all means a lot to us." I said. Just then, Twilight moaned as she stumbled a little and I was quick to try and catch her. "Twilight, are you alright?" I asked with concern.

Twilight looked at me. "I'm fine, I just felt a little light-headed there, I still don't fell one-hundred percent." She confessed.

Hearing that, I started helping her towards the exit. "Come on, lets get you home and into bed, I'll give you some water and a bucket in case you feel sickly again." I said as I gently guided her towards the doors, the others followed behind as we left the hospital.

A few minutes later: Streets of Ponyville

It was almost night-time and Twilight & I were approaching the Library with Jeff on my back and Spike walking beside us. The rest of the Mane 6 had said their goodbyes and went home, they knew I was capable of taking care of her.

Along the way, Spike was still trying get his head around the big news. Twilight, the pony that raised him from an egg, could be pregnant with her own child. He didn't know if he should be happy or worried about this.

I noticed how silent he was the whole way and I figured it could be because of this news, so I decided to talk to him. "Are you ok, Spike, you've hardly said a word since we left the hospital." I said.

Spike looked up at me and sighed. "Yeah I'm fine, it's just that…Twilight could be pregnant and I can't help but feel like…where'll I be when she has the baby? Will it be the same as always, or…will things change? I'm worried." He said, getting it off his chest quicker than I expected.

Jeff heard this and looked down at him. "Uh-Oh, Spike's got some issues. He thinks once the baby comes, it'll all about him-slash-her and none of him, it'll be like he isn't even there."

"Spike looked down at the ground. "I hate to admit it, but I think Jeff got it right this time." He said, slightly sad.

My ears lowered as I tried to answer his question. "Spike…sure, things might change, but not for you. You'll still be Twi's number one assistant and you'll still be my little bro, it's just that there'll be a new member in the family." I said before I smiled down at him. "And guess what, I'll know where you'll be if the baby comes, you'll be right beside us as it's Uncle." I said.

Spike looked up at me with a twinkle in his eyes. "Really?" he asked, almost shocked.

I nodded. "Definitely."

Spike felt much better after this, he even grew a proud smile. "Huh, Uncle Spike, has a ring to it."

Jeff rolled his eyes. "Great, now he's gonna be dreamin' about that, best get my ear-plugs for tonight." he said as he crossed his wings.

I smiled with amusement before I returned my attention to Twilight, who was really tied and looked like she was gonna collapse at any moment.

After a minute or so, we reached the Library and went inside. I helped Twilight to bed and got her some water and a bucket, like I said I would do. She went to sleep soon after that, giving me some time to fill Peewee in on what was happening.

For the rest of the day, me and the rest of the guys sat and talked about what was going to happen if there was a baby on the way. And at the same time, I tended to Twilight every time she woke up and asked me to help with something.

And for a few simple hours, everything I was worried about before was forgotten, the Elements being stolen, my wounds from my fight with Jersey, everything. It was like something more important came up in my life, and I liked it.

All I hope is that nothing terrible happens until we know what's happening for sure.

That night: Castle of the two Princess Sisters

While we were at home, most of Ponyville somehow found out about Twilight's possible pregnancy, thanks to a certain pink party pony.

The whole town knew in less than a few hours, the sun didn't even have a chance to go down all the way before the news got out. Also, the news went on to reach someone was more disturbed by the news than anyone.

A hooded pony flew over the Ever Free Forest until she reached the wrecked Castle of the Two Princess Sisters, she landed in the main hall before she took her hood off to reveal herself as Zelga.

Zelga walked to the centre of the hall before she made her horn appear on her head in a small bolt of purple fire. She then used her magic to cast a spell on the floor, causing a small amount of purple flames to ignite against it.

The purples flames soon turned to green before they suddenly shot up into a great blazing wall of green fire. The flames soon took on the shape of an Alicorn and a pair of red eyes appeared on its head.

Zelga bowed to it as she spoke. "Brother, I come to you to bring you news regarding Matthew and Twilight." she said.

"Is that so?" the Leader Alicorn said as he began to walk towards the smashed window. "Is it that you've finally succeeded in separating them? Making Matthew weaker."

Zelga got up and was almost afraid to answer. "Well…n-no, Brother." She said nervously.

The leader turned his head around to face her. "Is it that you're close to breaking them apart? That you've used your charm to gain Matthew's attention and is starting to take interest?" he asked.

Zelga knew he was building up to something, she could hear it in his devilish voice. "N-No Brother, it's proving more complicated than I Thou-"

"Or…is it that you've made absolutely no progress at all and they've basically announced that they're preparing to have a child of their own!" The leader said, sounding more furious with every word.

Zelga's ears dropped as she backed away slightly. "H-How did you know about that?" she asked, growing frightened.

The leader started walking towards her. "News travels fast, Sister. And if you've already forgotten, I never need anyone's eyes and ears when I gain Intel on my enemies!" he said before he seemingly calmed down. "Now from what you said, your task is to break up Matthew and Twilight so Matthew has nothing left to fight for, we take him out and get revenge for Thorn's death, correct?"

Zelga nodded. "Y-Yes…"

"So tell me…how do you plan on separating them when the thought of having a child is making their love STRONGER!" The leader yelled in pure anger as the green fire on his back shot up in roaring flames.

Zelga, terrified by this, dropped down onto her stomach and watched her brother's fury.

"I'm starting to question your capability to complete your assignment, Sister." The leader said before his flames died down. "You should be punished for your failures…but why should I wait for you to return to the mountain when your son will be reporting to me very soon? It would definitely save my time." He said sinisterly.

Zelga gasped. "No, please Brother, I'll do better. I have a plan, I've been planning it for some time now. I know it'll work, please, don't harm him." She begged.

"Your son is a thief, a liar and a murder, yet you beg me not to give him the punishment most ponies would say he deserves." The leader said before he spoke again. "Very well, you have one more chance to redeem yourself."

The leader then made his way over to the stairs that led to Celestia and Luna's old thrones. "But if you fail me again, you had better get back to the mountain quickly, otherwise your son will pay for your failure." He said darkly before the flames departed and he vanishing into the air.

Zelga was almost left breathless by this meeting, she looked down at the floor and breathed heavily as she thought about how she was going to execute her plan and succeed in her mission. She soon grew a fierce face. "Matthew will not win, I won't let him." she said before she turned around and stormed out of the castle and took off into the air.

"Matthew and Twilight will not stay together, even if I have to kill one of them to be sure." Zelga said evilly as she flew back towards Ponyville to begin her plan.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Pony News: Not much to report these days, but I'll give it my best.

Season 5 is going very well, we've had some great episodes in this season so far, I especially liked last week's episode 'Amending Fences' and it sounds like this week will be the one were Luna has a nightmare, could this be the work of the mythical create known as a Hym? Maybe not seeing as how Big Jim has never heard of one, we'll just have to see what happens.

Poll: As you just ready, Twilight could 'possibly' be pregnant, that's where you come in. I'm letting you decide if a foal comes into our lives. You can vote on my profile, just go up to the top and click my user name.
