A Few Good Stallions
Chapter 13: It appears my future has just been revealed... Parenting!
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThis is going to be the chapter where Static finally decides to stay in Ponyville for good.
I was knocking on the door to the bathroom. I have been fucking WAITING for 9 minutes now!
"Twilight hurry up! Like right now would be great!"
"I'm sorry. Just a minute."
"Just another minute... It's okay! I'm going lumberjack!" I told her racing out the door.
Twilight's POV
It wasn't my fault I was in the bathroom for so long. I didn't want Static to know I was using a pregnancy test. It may have taken 12 minutes but my day was brightened when I saw the large red '+'. I'm Pregnant!
"I'm done!" I yelled out of the bathroom door. When I opened it, he was gone. About 12 seconds later he walked back inside the Library.
"Static I have some great news!" I can't wait to tell him! This is so exciting!
"You got out of the bathroom finally?" he asked.
"No... I'm pregnant!" His face was of pure amazement. It was like his entire life flashed before his eyes.
"I'm... going to be a daddy?"
"Yes." He began to walk to the door. On no! He's running away!
"I'm going to be a DAD!" he began to yell to the world. I guess he was so happy.
"Twilight..." he turned to me. "I have never been in so much love with you right now." He's only been here for 5 weeks now but I hope he's here to stay.
"I love you too."
"And I promise to be the best dad I can manage. At least better than mine. Except my human father... he was actually pretty decent... But that's not the point."
"I'm glad your so happy about this. For a moment I thought you were going to run away."
"What? What kind of guy does that? That's horrible..."
"I'm sorry! I don't mean any harm."
"I know. But you should no I will never leave you Twilight." He really means it! This is the best day ever!
Static's POV
3 hours later
I was reading as many books as I could about being a good father. I couldn't find one. All I could find was 'How to get rid of babies fast!' or 'Be the best damn abusive father you can be.' I wasn't in Twilight's Library. I was in the Canterlot Library.
"This fucking sucks." I said to myself. "SHH!" said the Librarian on the other side of the library. This place wasn't going to help me so I left.
"Hmm... While I'm out I could find a job. Now I have a kid to support." These are the jobs that were offered to me that I turned down.
1. Prostitution
2. The Royal Butt Scratchier
3. Mall Santa.
These are the 3 jobs which I am considering.
1. Mail Pony.
2. Personal Guard.
3. Frycook.
Well I promised myself I would try to never be a guard again so that crosses out number 2 and I hate fast food so no number 3. Mail Pony it is!
"I see your resume Mr. Wielder. What makes you think you would be a good mail pony in Ponyville?" said the brown unicorn in front of me. He had a pair of spectacles and short gray He had scars on his face and was bigger than Sky. He is the definition of fear.
"I know everyone, I know where everyone lives, and I get along with everybody."
"It says here you were once a guard?" I only told him that.
"Yes sir. I know how to handle myself."
"Then I think I'll give you the job!"
"Great! What's the pay?"
"60 bits an hour." Not bad. Not bad.
"Then you got a deal." We shook our hooves. He put a hat on my head and threw a saddlebag on me. How did he do that?
"I did it by putting it on you with your guard down."
"Alright... wait what?" Did he just read my mind?
"I didn't read your mind." he told me.
"Alright! Wait a minute..." He busted out laughing. I decided to read his mind. I know that spell by the way. When I did it I heard what sounded like a boxing match.
"You a boxer?" I asked him.
"How did you know?"
"I didn't read your mind." I lied.
"I was when I was human."
"So your like that too huh? You died and as it turned out you have always been a pony?"
"Yes. I take it same thing happened to you?"
"That is correct." I held out a brohoof. "I'm Static Wielder."
He accepted it and said "I'm Flash Boom."
"Why..." He didn't let me finish as he made a sudden thunder boom with lights shooting in all directions. It was an amazing spell. However I was blinded for god knows how long.
"It's not a spell." What the fuck?
"That's rude Flash." I told him
"Ah ah ah... call me boss." He said with a smirk.
"May I call you Flash?"
"Request approved."
"Awaiting confirmation." I told him.
"Call me Flash, over."
"Affirmative, over." We both ended up laughing over such a small event.
"When do I begin?" I asked him.
"Now!" He stuffed my bags with mail and kicked me out his door.
"Oh... Congratulations on the baby." He closed the door. I saw Twilight across the street. She blew a kiss towards me as to which I dramatically accepted it.
"I got a job!" I yelled at her.
"Get to work!" yelled Flash and I was off running down to every mailbox. I did it all in 48 minutes.
"Not bad for a first day Static." said Flash. "I'm actually impressed. Now for the next 6 hours we just hang out and organize mail for the next day. We also do express runs."
"What are those?"
"You run across the country to deliver a package. I've seen you run. You can do it."
"I guess." We sat at the table and just relaxed. It felt good to just sit down and talk to a new friend. I just met him and yet I know we will get close. We were having funny moments about our human days.
"There was this one time when my friends and I got blamed for stealing a trophy from our school so we ended up fighting the cops. I'm immune to the harmful ways of pepper spray by the way." I told Flash.
"Bear Mace?"
"A tangy pepper spray."
"Tazer?"
"I wish I could say it doesn't affect me. But how do you get use to having lightning go through your body?" I told him.
"So you guys were pretty young when you bit the dust eh?"
"Yeah we were. School ended for us about 5 years ago... well... not us but the humans."
"I get ya. I was pretty young. I actually was about to ask this girl I met to marry me." Flash told me. Oh no...
"I'm sorry to hear that Flash. Maybe she came here with us."
"Maybe."
"Don't lose hope Flash. I lost hope once and something bad happened."
"What happened?"
"My mom died."
"Here or in human world."
*sigh* "Both." It hurts to talk about it.
"Sorry to bring it up."
"No worries. I was just a kid. Now I'm a young adult."
"Quite. Also you have a beautiful pony to date and a child on the way."
"I just thought about something. I know I've been here for a while but I need to ask her something."
"What?"
"Well she's pregnant and is also the best woman to ever be with me. I should ask her to marry me soon."
"When?"
"Maybe in a month. Just enough time for us to settle down. I mean our love happened so quickly!"
"Tell me about it."
"Tell you what?"
"Shotgun wedding."
"Yikes... I'm sorry?"
"I'm not." Awkward.
"Way to ruin my moment there champ."
"Anytime." We played cards, made fun of every single flaw in town, and then we just had a great idea! We put two chairs on the porch. We make a comment on every thing that happens. (MST3K)
The large manly white pony from 'Hurricane Fluttershy' came by.
"We put our faith in Blast Hardcheese." I said.
"Big McLargeHuge."
"Splint Chesthair."
"Buff Hardback."
"Bob Johnson... oh wait." We both chuckled as we kept it up till someone stopped and yelled. "What are you two doing?"
"Enjoying nature at her finest!" I yelled in my Irish accent. That was the only accent I could do. I could convince you I was Irish.
"Whatever." Flash laughed as she shrugged us off. It was nice.
"Who are you?" I heard behind me. I turned to see a grey pony with blonde hair and cross way eyes.
"I'm the new recruit. Static Wielder at yer services." I forgot to drop my Irish accent.
"You an emigrant?"
"No."
"Whatever. I'm Derpy Hooves." D'AWWW! It's any bronies dream come true. I'm meeting Derpy for the first time though. I've been here for 5 weeks and I totally forgot her.
Intermission Author's Notes.
Yes, I am using Derpy's name. I don't care what anypony says. Her name is Derpy Hooves and I'll be damned if I call her something else. If you have a problem with this... don't blame me. I thought about using Ditzy Doo but It's kinda too late. If you watched 'The Last Roundup.' then you would understand. ~ Static.
"Hi Derp." I heard Flash. I love that name so much!
"Hi boss." He bowed to her.
"Get that delivery done?"
"Yes."
"Excellent job Derpy! Static! Go get her a muffin!"
"Yea! Wait What?"
"Banana Nut please."
"I-I Yeah but but I don't WHAT?" Flash pushed me outside. I didn't even see him move. Ah... I get it. The Flash in his name is starting to show itself. I made my way down to the Pinkie's but the Cakes greeted me.
"Static? Your the new mail pony?" said Mrs. Cake.
"Yes I am." She gave me a nod. "Then you did a wonderful job this morning. I got all of the packages I ordered."
"I'm glad. Can I please ask you for a Banana Nut muffin to go?"
"Of course. You never stop by much. Not a sweets kind of guy huh?"
"I don't have a sweet tooth."
"Your friends do."
"Hehehe... That they do. Where's Mr. Cake?"
"He's delivering a cake."
"I see." She handed me the muffin. "Oh one more thing Mr. Wielder."
"Yes ma'am?"
"You had better take care of Twilight. I love her like a daughter." She said in a deep and serious tone.
"Yes Ma'am!" I am so scared right now. Never piss off mama bear. I was out of there!
"Bye dear!" she said as I left. I hurried back to The Post as I nicknamed it. The name of our actual company was Flash Deliveries. I couldn't complain. He's bigger than me. To think that my family here in Equestria owned a mail company. Here I am working for another one. Irony?
"Your back fast." said Derpy. She and Flash were both surprised by me. "Hey, you look like you ran for your life." said Flash.
"I did." I gave Derpy here muffin as to which she savored it. Flash threw me a small pouch of money. "Here's your first payment."
"Nice 400 bits huh?"
"How did you guess that?" asked Derpy.
"I did the math. I use to be an engineer."
"A what?"
"A special name for a math expert." I lied. Again.
"Oh... Well that's nice."
"Yep. I need to go. Which days do I work?"
"Derpy takes Monday through Wednesday morning shifts. You take night shifts. On Thursday through Saturday you do morning shifts Static. Understood?"
"And were closed on Sunday?"
"Like always."
"Alright Understood." we brohoofed and I headed outside. "By Flash."
"By Static."
"How come he doesn't have to call you boss?" said Derpy.
"He knows me better than you." She just gave him a confused look and went home.
I made it back to the Library and took my saddlebag and hat off. Spike laughed at how I was a mail pony. I asked him why it was funny and he said.
"Well Twilight said that your family owned the first and best mail company in the past and how much you hated it. Now your a mail pony!" Spike doesn't know how to keep his fucking mouth shut and not tell the truth. He causes so much trouble with that mouth.
"That's not funny. Not at all." He'll learn though. If he doesn't then somepony is going to correct that. Twilight gave him a small kick in the back. "Ow what was that for?!"
"Spike what did I tell you?"
"That my mouth will get me in trouble."
"Yes now stop talking." I walked over to her and handed her my money pouch. "Here is my first pay."
"Not bad Static. 400?"
"Yeah."
"This will keep us busy for a while." I told her my schedule.
"Not bad." She told me. I looked at her as she left for the closet.
"I know this may be weird but I know what clothes you like to wear Static." Is she giving me her clothes?
"I picked you up this today." It was a large black cloak. It was perfect. "I know your jumpsuit and vest were destroyed so I bought you a coat for days you might want it."
"Thank you so so so much!" I was loving this day so much. I actually bought her something as well. When I was delivering I found a guy that sells you stars. Can you believe it? He actually used his magic to ignite it in the sky so now Twilight's Star will appear every single day!
"Come with me." I asked her. I put on my cloak and brought her outside with me. We both looked up to see a large violet star in the sky among the other white ones.
"That is your star Twilight. I got you a star for a surprise present." She was speechless. Her eyes were doing that adorable sparkle thingy and tears were streaming from her joyous eyes. She pulled me in for a tight hug. When I tried to accept it she pushed me when I had my guard down to lay on top of me in the grass. We rolled down the hill laughing and playing. We stopped at the bottom and we were laying side by side watching her star.
"What do you think?" I asked her.
"It is the most amazing gift I have ever gotten Static!" I hope she doesn't mean it.
"I'm glad that you love it. I just thought that since you like to daydream alot, why not put you in the stars?" she giggled and I pulled her close to me. We just enjoyed our moment.
"Now when ever you look at the sky at night... You'll think about us." She gave me a kiss. It wasn't like the other kisses. This was a true love kiss. Our heart beats were synchronous and out horns glowed. It was truly the best day for us.
