Loyalty To Love
Chapter 3: Chapter 3- Lucky Stallion
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt had been at least two weeks since the ordeal between Rainbow Dash and Soarin had been solved. Also leading to the truth of Rainbow's secret and the engagement of the two. Everypony was ecstatic to hear the news, of the two finally uniting their bond. Many congratulations were handed out to the young couple, along with good lucks for the arrival of their foal. Ever since, the pegasus couple had finally brightened up. Constantly beginning stuck to each other, where ever they went. Their tails twizzled together, their wings around each other. Laughing and smiling with each other as they prepared for the best day of their lives.
But today on this fine afternoon, with the sun shining bright, and the birds singing sweetly, while a certain ice blue stallion went out to work- to perform with his team- the young cyan mare was in Ponyville's own, Carousel Boutique.
~~~~~~
"I don't know, would layers be too heavy on you?" A unicorn asked. Staring at the cyan mare. Who was wearing a beautiful, crystal white dress. The dress glimmered underneath the artificial light of the dress maker's home. And the train of the dress spiraled beside her, as the unicorn moved it aside so she wouldn't trip.
Everypony gawped at the dress. It was similar to Rarity's gala dress, but more beautiful, elegant and obviously, white. The layers were delicate and puffy. Almost like clouds. And the bodice of the dress was the same as the dress that Rainbow wore on the celebration of the defeat of the Pegasi Lords.
"Well, I love it." Fluttershy commented, stroking the white fabric. Mesmerised by the unicorn's work. At the way it fell gracefully onto the ground. And the way it splayed outwards, leaving an elegant train behind.
"Me too." Applejack smiled.
"We all love it." Twilight hugged her pegasus friend. They all laughed and talked among each other as the prissy white mare added extra detail to the beautiful dress.
~~~~~~
"Oh hey! Soar! I forgot to say. Congratulations, buddy." A grey pegasus stallion cheered. Patting his friend on the back, grinning as he did so.
"Thanks, Silver." The ice blue stallion smiled, as they flew down into a large cloud room full of lockers.
"A bit late, but thanks."
"I wasn't here, dumbass. I was at my parents'." Silver Lining retorted.
"Awww. Is mama's wittle colt missing his mama?" Soarin teased. Sticking his out. The puffy, white maned stallion glared at his friend, pouting.
"Well, at least I have parents." He snorted back.
"OooOoo! That was harsh." A mare hissed as she fluttered down, next to the two stallions. The light blue mare flicked her blown back mane, as it drooped over her face.
"Nah, it's fine. The great thing about not having parents is introducing my fiancé to them. And awkward dinners." Soarin smirked.
"I guess so." Silver muttered. "Oh, and I heard you got her knocked up as well."
"I know." Fleefoot grinned. "Our Soar, knocking up young mares." She winked, making Soarin blush. Both Silver Lining and Fleefoot laughed as Soarin shyly put his Wonderbolt suit away.
"I-I....errr....I-" He stuttered, hiding behind the locker door.
"Don't worry, buddy. We're only joking. It's brilliant, really. It's great to know that you're gonna be a dad." Silver shut his locker and hugged his friend.
"I know you'll be great. Do you know what you might call it?" Fleefoot asked.
"Well, not really. We want to wait until it's born first." Soarin smiled. "I have an idea of Blue Breeze though." He muttered, looking upwards. Before shaking his head. He glanced at the clock, realising the time. "I've gotta go. I've got to go to the hospital."
"What?! Why? Are you hurt?" Fleefoot asked, rushing over to the stallion. Pulling his wings out and inspecting them for any injuries. But the co-captain only rolled his eyes.
"I'm fine, Flee." Soarin chuckled. Folding his wings to his side. "No. I've got to pick up some painkillers for Rainbow. She's been feeling ill lately. A bit more than usual."
"Oh that's just your usual symptoms." Silver Lining stated. The three pegasi began to leave the Wonderbolts Headquarters. Trotting down the corridor.
"My sister had them. Sickness, headaches. It was annoying." Lining groaned, remembering his elder sister's pregnancy.
"Yeah, I know. But, Rainbow is feeling sicker everyday. I know it's normal for her to be ill, but...I just have a feeling that something is wrong. Maybe it's just me though." He sighed.
"Probably just your fatherly instincts." A mare chuckled. The three ponies turned around and saluted instantly.
"Come on you lot. It's the end of practice. No need for this formal crap."
"Yes, Capt- I mean, Spitfire. Sorry." Fleefoot sheepishly grinned. "What's that, Cap'?" The blue mare pointed to the two boxes, held in the golden mare's wings.
"Oh, a little something for the lucky stallion." Spitfire smiled as she passed the blue box over. "And this is for your oncoming foal." She handed the the other red box.
"Thanks. I'll open later." He waved as he began to fly away, towards the small town of Ponyville as the sun began setting.
~~~~~~
"Rainbow! Rainbow, I'm back!" Soarin shouted as he slammed the door shut. He looked around the cloud house. After the two had got together, Soarin moved into Rainbow's house. After all, it was larger than his five star apartment. When Soarin moved in, he thought she actually lived in a mansion. To add to it, the house was changeable, add rooms or enlarge them, as the house was made of cloud.
Soarin trotted around the house looking for his beloved fiancé, looking in every room. As he looked in the bathroom, he noticed a small orange pot full of pills. He trotted away towards over rooms.
"Rainbow?" He fluttered up to the bedroom, expecting the worst.
However, his worried expression softened and he smiled gently.
The mare he loved was fast asleep, tucked underneath the purple covers. Her vibrant rainbow mane tussled over her face. The sheets revealing the curves of the mare.
The stallion quietly walked over to her, and saw the note on the beside table.
I went to the hospital after the dress fitting. I've already taken some and I'm really tired. Wake me up when you want if you want. I also brought a pie for you in the fridge. P. S, it's apple.
Soarin grinned at the word pie, but instead of galloping over to it like a mad pony, he quietly clambered on to the bed, and slipped under the bedsheets, as he hugged the sleeping mare. Wrapping his fore-legs around her small body.
"Good night, Dashie." He whispered as he closed his eyes.
"Sleep tight, honey." Rainbow sleepily whispered back, smiling. Making the stallion chuckle and bring the mare closer to him. His life was perfect. He had a awesome job, and brilliant friends. A beautiful mare for a fiancé, and on the way, was his own foal. His child. His family.
The ice blue stallion fell asleep with a smile on his face. Believing that everything will be just fine.
When it actually be the opposite.
