Two weeks later:

Cadence laid on J’s lap as they watched TV.

“Two hundred says that The Strykers will win this match.” J said.

“Two thousand says that it’ll be the Hawks.” Cadence said.

“Meh…” Star shrugged.

“Okay… you better be ready to pay up Caddie.” J said.

“No you better be ready to.” Cadence responded.

“I don’t even like paintball.” Star said.

“That doesn’t mean you can’t make money off of it.” J said.

“Boring…” Pinkamena said blowing some hair from her face, “Not violent enough…”

“Oh just wait.” J said. There was a sudden crack as one of the players was bashed in the face with a paintball gun. “And it gets better.”

Pinkamena sat up and leaned in.

“I just know Jokeman set up his sign-” J was interrupted as a player screamed loudly as a hidden bear trap closed around his foot. “And…” He stumbled back into a pit fall and screamed again as his leg was broken. “Extreme paintball gotta love it.” J said with a chuckle.

“Yeah J… You and I really… Love… Bear traps…” Pinkamena said staring at J with a smile.

“You wanna know how many of my own I set off?” J asked.

“Can we not talk. Just watch.” Fluttershy said sternly.

J shrugged.

The door flew open as Applebloom rushed in, “AJ’s in the hospital!” She said before she fell down, “Ran… too fast… too far…”

J simply waved a hand, “She’s fine.” He said.

“You… know? And you didn’t tell us?” Star asked.

“I didn’t know she was in today…” J said. “What I know and how I know it is private.”

“Privacy around here… Hm.” Star mumbled with a smile, “Okay fair enough.”

“You act like there isn’t a such thing as privacy.” J said. “I have a lot of secrets and things that I keep private. You’ll never know half of them.”

“Yes I’m sure they are very important.” Pinkamena said.

“Hm. I think one thing I know about AJ right now is very important.” J said.

Applebloom huffed a few more times, “AJ… was pukin… a lot…” She said.

“Oh…” J said, “Well… this can wait. I’m going to go see AJ.”

“Yeah maybe we should all go.” Star said.

“But… Paintball.” Pinkamena whined.

“The championship will be much better. This is just the first round of the preliminaries.” J said as he got up from the couch.

“Come on… It would be nice to have you with us.” Star said kissing her on the cheek.

“Alright…” Pinkamena sighed nuzzling herself against Star.

“Well… come on everyone.” J said picking Applebloom up.

------------------

Everyone was gathered inside of AJ’s room at the hospital. J sat right beside her tightly gripping her hand. They shared a smile for a few seconds before she looked back at everyone else.

“Hey.” AJ said with a smile.

“How are you doing?” Fluttershy asked.

“Great.” AJ said, “I think whatever I had passed for now.”

“Are you sick or…” Star asked.

“I just… got really really sick after I woke up… and it just sorta stopped after a while.” AJ said.

“We’ll stay with you until you’re feeling better.” Fluttershy said.

“Um…” Pinkamena tried to interject before Fluttershy nudged her hard.

Pinkamena glared at her, “Yes… We’ll stay.” She said.

J leaned in and whispered something to AJ and she laughed, “Yeah… I’m sure that’ll happen too.” She said.

“Okay what’s with the inside jokes.” Star said.

AJ looked at J and giggled a little.

J took a deep breath in, “Well… I guess… you could say inside…” He said, “But… yolo.”

“I’m not savin yah from what happens.” AJ said calmly.

“Easy…” Star said restraining Pinkamena.

“Okay… sorry.” J said, “I’ll just go back to keeping quiet.”

“That’s a good boy.” AJ said.

Fluttershy walked past Star and slapped J across the face, “No.” She said sternly.

“At least I didn’t say the full thing.” J said rubbing his face. He looked over at AJ and she smiled and nodded, “Fluttershy can you lean down here for a sec?” J asked.

“Okay…” She said leaning in.

J whispered into her ear.

Fluttershy looked down at Applejack, then back up to J.

“Now you know.” J said.

Fluttershy ran up to Star and slammed him into the wall, kissing him. “MMPH!” He shouted.

“I love you.” Fluttershy said.

“What did he tell you?” Star said.

“Nothing I love you.” She said before kissing him again.

Both Aj and J laughed a little.

“Okay I’ll bite. What’s so important?” Pinkamena asked approaching the two of them.

AJ simply nodded to J.

J motioned for Pinkamena to lean down.

She leaned down, crossing her arms.

J whispered into her ear and leaned back in the chair.

Pinkamena’s hair shot up.

“Oh…” Pinkie said giggling uncontrollably.

“Wow… What did you tell her?” Star said.

“Nothing that anyone who knows right now can tell you.” J said, “It’s a secret.”

“Okay… Pinkie?” Star said.

“Nope.” Pinkie said.

“Flutters-” Star said before she kissed him again. He threw his arms up in defeat.

“I’m sure the rest of you are dying to know…” J said.

“Yeah…” Dash said getting closer.

“Mmhm.” Cadence said stepping beside Dash.

“Wait… Nausea in the…” Rarity said before approaching J and AJ, “It isn’t…”

Both of them nodded.

Rarity squeed happily, “Oh! I know just what I’ll do then!” She said rushing out of the room.

“What? Tell me!” Twilight said.

“Nope.” AJ said.

“Sorry… can’t.” J shrugged. “You’ll just have to wait.”

There was a soft knock at the door and Doctor Cross entered. “I really want to stop seeing you all in the hospital!” He joked.

“It’s nice to see you to Dr. Cross.” J said. “And… please?”

Cross nodded and smiled a little, “Any questions before I begin?” He asked.

“I think you should tell us before Twilight explodes.” Star said restraining her to the seat.

“Well…” Cross began.

“AJ’s pregnant.” J said.

“You took the words right out of my mouth.” Cross said.

Cadence smiled widely, “That’s great!” She said happily.

“Wait… AJ’s pregnant… so… that means…” Dash began looking down at J, “Holy…”

“Eyup.” J said, “It works.”

Star and Lemmy squealed loudly as he jumped in the air.

“My someone's happy.” J said with a smile. “Just… I’d expect that from Pinkie or Fluttershy…”

Twilight and Pinkie squealed as Twilight jumped onto her back, the both of them hopping around the room.

“And it get’s better.” AJ said with a smile.

“Oh… and we found out…” Cross said.

Everyone stopped and stared at Cross.

“You’re having twins!” Cross said.

“Holy…” J said as he slumped back in his chair.

“And… because of… certain circumstances we can already tell you’re having both a boy and a girl!” Cross finished.

“WAIT!” J shouted. “If either Celestia or Luna come in… keep quiet. Not a word of what’s been said alright… not until one of them figures it out based off of what happened earlier.”

“I’m calm…” Star said quietly, taking a seat next to Fluttershy. “Calm is what I am…”

“So why are we all at the hospital?” Celestia asked coming through the door.

“IT’S SO EXCITING I KNOW RIGHT!” Star shouted before clamping his mouth shut.

“Ugh… No. It’s not.” J said, “AJ got sick.”

AJ nodded.

“Yes being sick sucks. It couldn’t be any less exciting.” Star agreed.

“Hey… why don’t you…” J started.

“Well… Princess when I woke up this mornin I felt really really sick… I couldn’t stop puking for a while… then it just ended… so My brother brought me here to make sure I was alright.” AJ said.

“I see. And you’re all gathered here… Why?” Celestia asked.

“Well…” J began.

“Because I wanted them to come.” AJ said.

“Correct me if I’m wrong but… You don’t usually let being sick get you down… And you ‘asked’ everyone to just… come?” Celestia asked. “Either you’re lying, or you have cancer… Please be lying.” She said slightly concerned.

“There’s no cancer.” J said calmly, “And she’s not lying.”

“What’s with your stomach?” Celestia asked pointing to AJ’s slightly larger stomach.

“She ate to much at dinner.” J said quickly.

“Well no wonder you’re sick…” Celestia said squinting, “So tell me… What did you eat?”

J’s eye twitched, “Damn it…” He said quietly.

AJ simply shrugged.

“Princess… a larger stomach… morning sickness…” J said. “What does it mean when put together?”

Luna and Orion walked in, “What’s going on?” Orion asked.

“Aj threw up a lot this morning.” J said.

Luna gasped.

“What?” Orion asked as she leaned in and whispered something to him.

The two of them stared at AJ before hugging eachother and squealing. Orion and Star hugged jumping up and down.

“She…” Orion said.

“YEP!” Star said as they both started laughing.

Celestia looked at everyone before her eyes widened, a smile creeping onto her face.

“Yep.” J said.

“I’m pregnant… with twins.” AJ said nuzzling J’s hand.

“Our twins…” J said kissing her.

“This is the best day… EVER!” Pinkie screamed.

“It’s… Oh my god… I… Oh my god…” Twilight said excitedly.

“Do they have names yet?” Fluttershy asked quickly sitting next to Applejack.

“Well the girls gonna be name Emile…” AJ said.

“And we’re going to name the boy Ethan.” J finished.

“Hey… J.” Star said with a large smile growing on his face.

“Yeah?” J questioned looking up at him.

“How about Tatl… and Tael.” Star said waiting for a reaction.

“Someone slap me… hard.” J said.

“Kay.” Celestia said as her horn glowed, sending J back into the wall with a slap.

“Thank you… I feel really stupid for not thinking about that!” J said pushing himself up.

“Implying you don’t think of anything better. Going to be awhile remember?” Star said.

“Yeah.” J said getting back in the chair beside AJ.

Fluttershy, Pinkie and Twilight all glanced over at Star, sharing the same smile.

“What?” Star said.

Cadence and Dash both leaned in and whispered to J.

“Oh jesus.” J said as his eyes went wide.

Star looked at J with the same expression, “Oh god…” Star said.

“For now… one… is enough for me… maybe… later.” J said, “Dash… you understand that you’d… be unable to join the Wonderbolts unti-” He was silence by Dash who placed a finger to his lips.

“I know.” Dash said.

“I can wait…” Cadence said with a smile.

Pinkie’s hair dropped back down as she took a seat next to Star, staring at him hungrily.

“Help me…” Star said.

“Hm… I got a good temporary sterility tea that could help.” J offered. “Buuut… I don’t have a death wish.”

“So Star…” Celestia said taking a seat next to him.

“Oh my god I need a break.” Star said running out of the room.

“Let him go for now…” J said, “He’ll come back around soon.”

“So… when did it happen?” Cadence asked as everyone gathered around the bed.

AJ quickly turned away, “After… a few things happened… and I sent out that mass text.” J said, “I never expected it… but I fully enjoyed it.” He lightly nuzzled AJ before kissing her.

Rarity huffed as she shoved Star back into the room, “Where did you think you were going?” She questioned.

“That’s a lovely outfit you’re wearing Rarity…” Star said nervously.

“Not going to work.” Rarity said.

“Oh Rarity… we’re having twins a boy and a girl!” J said.

“WHAT!?!” Rarity shouted.

“Yep.” AJ said, “Twins…”

“Yeah it’s pretty amazing…” Star sighed sitting back down.

“Oh… shit… I forgot to mention one major thing.” J said.

Everyone looked at him.

“Werewolf genetics… make it so… the babies will be here in three months…” J said, “Instead of nine…”

“Oh…” AJ said quietly.

“Don’t worry… everything will go normally.” J said comfortingly.

“So…” AJ said quietly.

“We’ll watch after her everyday.” Cross said.

“I’ll visit whenever I can… if it isn’t everyday and if I can from time to time I stay with you.” J said kissing AJ lightly.

“I assume you already know that the same goes with us.” Twilight said.

“Yep…” Pinkamena said.

“Of course.” Fluttershy said.

“Like I wouldn’t come see you.” Dash said.

“I can come as often as I’m needed.” Cadence said.

“You have my support too.” Celestia nodded.

“Thank you all of you…” AJ said.

“Oh… and if she gives birth without any complications…” J started.

“Spit it out.” AJ said.

“You’ll be back on your feet in no time.” J said, “Sort of… another adaption meant to ensure survival…”

“Yes. I can’t wait to see them. I guess I’ll be having more nephews in my future…” Star laughed.

“A niece and a nephew.” J corrected.

“And maybe sons.” Twilight said.

“Or daughters.” Pinkamena corrected.

“Sons…” Twilight said glaring at Pinkamena.

“I will destroy you…” Pinkamena said.

“Well I want a son… and a daughter.” Dash said.

“Mmm You’d better be prepared for a lot of children from me.” Cadence said.

“I suppose I could look forward to a Star Jr…” Star shrugged.

“Don’t… I suggest Joel Jr.” J began.

“No.” AJ stated.

“What about Jappleack?” Star said.

“Someone slap him.” AJ stated.

“Kay.” Celestia said sending Star across the room and into the wall.

“NNGH… My… Everything...” Star grunted.

“Thank you.” AJ said.

“Maybe we should celebrate?” Fluttershy suggested.

“Sure. I mean it’s not too early for a baby shower.” J shrugged.

“I will do the cooking!” Star said jumping up, “I’ll call Baloque.”

“If… I’m not dead before they’re born.” J said calmly looking at Pinkamena. “Then I’m sure… the children will be my death.”

“Don’t worry… She won’t do anything.” Star said putting an arm around Pinkamena. “Right?”

She stayed silent as she rested her head against Star.

“Right.” Star said.

“Just a suggestion but…” Celestia said.

“A suggestion coming from you? This is actually a good thing!” J said looking at Celestia.

Celestia approached J, whispering something to him.

“Hm… so…” J started, “I like that idea.”

“Can we not keep secrets anymore?” Star said.

“Yeah… Even I can’t restrain Twilight if she goes off.” Pinkamena said.

“Well this one really doesn’t effect anyone yet.” J said. “And… I may change my mind when the time rolls around anyway.”

Star and Twilight approach J, pushing him into the corner.

“J you’re my friend… But god help me I will let Twilight tear your soul to pieces.” Star said.

“Lost it once before buddy… I can live without it.” J said with a weak chuckle.

Twilight’s horn started to glow.

“Scary…” J said weakly.

Pinkamena tore the two out of the way, “Would you tell me?” She asked nicely, slowly walking towards him.

“Same conditions as before…” J said leaning towards her and whispering to her.

“Oh… That is a good idea.” Pinkamena said with a smile.

“Thank you.” Celestia said.

“And with you Star doesn’t even get a say in it.” J said, “And I agree it’s a great idea!”

“What?” Star asked.

“I will tell you soon my love…” Pinkamena said. “For now…” She kissed Star.

“What’s this idea?” AJ asked.

He brought Dash close to and whispered to both of them.

“Wow… that means… SWEET!” Dash said.

“Well that means they can help out more… unless Ethan’s anything like you…” AJ said with a smile.

“Princess that’s a great idea!” Dash said.

“I’m looking forward to hugging little Carrie…” Pinkamena said soothingly in Star’s ear. “Or maybe Coraline?”

“Hmmm wait how would an age advancement spell work like that?” Dash questioned.

“Oh… That’s a good idea.” Star said.

“And I take my leave.” Celestia said with a laugh.

“Why was that needed to be a secret?” Twilight asked.

J shrugged, “It really didn’t affect you much.” He said, “Are you really going to risk your life trying to beat Pinkamena to the punch?”

Twilight approached J, her eye twitching a bit, “If it didn’t affect me… Why did you need to keep it a secret…” She asked.

J cocked his head, “Well… for one…” He said as he vanished.

“Oh yeah… he can blink… why didn’t he do that before?” Cadence questioned.

“Well I think it’s time to start planning.” Pinkamena said grabbing Star and dragging him with her.

“Um…” Star said hesitantly.

“Yes. What she said.” Celestia said helping Pinkamena drag him out.

“Help…” Star said, the door slamming shut as he left the room.
