The Rooster crowing woke Rainbow Dash first as she felt Applejack rustle out of bed with a light yawn. She loved seeing the blond hair swaying around the orange coat of her fiance first thing in the morning. Fiance, what a weird word to use for another you’ve chosen to spend the rest of your life with even before you’re married.

“Mornin’ Dash, ready fer the day?”

Rainbow rolled from the bed and grabbed her side of the blankets and with Applejack and one smooth movement they pulled the blankets to the top covering the pillows and then three pokes and a tug later the bed was perfect. “Perfect ev’ry time now Sugarplum. Ah can’t believe it.”

“Yeah,” Rainbow said before she let a large yawn leave her, “it’s easy when you’re with the great Rainbow Dash, and all that stuff. Yadda yadda,” she waved her wing as she stumbled to the door. “I think I’m gonna nap on a cloud for a bit today so don’t expect me for lunch.”

“Sounds fair, ya ain’t really up to all this farm work and I guess we can make Saturdays Zap Apple days, but Granny has to talk with the mayor first.”

Applejack went to the dresser and tied her hair quickly and grabbed her hat turning to Rainbow who had sat to watch Applejack get ready. Applejack trotted over to Rainbow with her hat in her mouth and a smirk before placing the hat on Rainbow.

“AJ, what’re ya doing?” Rainbow asked smiling at her lover.

“Ah’m makin’ a big change today, Dashing. I want you to wear my hat when you nap.”

“What? But I don’t need it, I can just move a cloud over me if I need ta.”

“I know, but I want you to wear it for taday, just try it out.”

“What about you? Won’t ya get all hot in the orchard?”

“Well, I’ll stick to bein’ under the trees today, I need to know what it’s like too. We’re gonna be spending a lotta time sharin’ everything so this’ the best start.”

“But, your hat? It’s what makes you you.”

“Not anymore, sugarplum. Now you’re what makes me.”

Rainbow sat in stunned silence. “How do you do that? Say the coolest stuff ever?”

“You give me all the reason I need,” Applejack replied leaning to kiss the rainbow maned mare wearing her trademark hat on the cheek. “Now, ya git ‘fore I give you a reason to be late,” she snickered as Rainbow blushed.

“Fine, Ah’ll see ya round 3 for the doctor then we’ll see about dinner?”

“Nope. Dinner’s already planned out, Rarity called and she’s having Sweetie Belle make us a meal.”

Rainbow’s eyes widened. “Oh please no.”

Applejack burst into a fit of laughter as she hugged Rainbow. “I wouldn’t wish that on Soarin and ya know it. We’re goin to Twilight’s and Spike is cookin’ us a dinner fit for a princess since we’re planning so many things and the others’ll be there too.”

Rainbow hugged her back before whispering in her ear. “Thank you, you mean so much to me.”

Applejack moaned in approval and broke the hug. One final kiss in the room then she opened the door and they both left for breakfast.

“Mornin’ Big Macintosh. What’s in the pot today?”

“Morning AJ, Rainbow Dash. Oatmeal and eggs with apple juice and a muffin. Be ready in ten minutes, so ya got time ta use how ya see fit. Mornin’ Apple Bloom,” he acknowledged his youngest sister as she came into view from the stairs.

“Mornin’ y’all. So, AJ, I guess yer movin’ out tamorrow?”

“Well, I dunno yet. We got the place and it’d be a waste ta let it sit alone for too long.

Apple Bloom looked downtrotten for a moment. “Ah understand, ahI guess. But, you’ll visit right?”

“Apple Bloom,” Applejack started, “ahI’m still workin’ the farm and we only live a walk away and you can visit us anytime.”

“And you can bring your friends and stay the night,” Rainbow added with a smirk looking at Applejack.

“Yeah, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are welcome over but ya gotta ask me first. Dashie there ain’t ready to have sleep overs yet,” she winked at Rainbow.

“But, Granny said the same thing about you and now yer gonna marry her, why is it okay now?” Apple Bloom asked cocking her head slightly looking to Applejack as Big Mac chuckled lightly under his breath.

“Well, ya see AB, uh.”

“Cuz we’re adults and we get to make the awesome decisions and break the rules and make new rules and do awesome stuff all the time, that’s why.”

“Well if’n ya wanna get in trouble ya look at it that way,” Applejack said throwing Rainbow a quick glance, “but when you get older yer gonna have a few hits and misses and when ya know it’s right yer gonna know. Now git ready fer school ‘fore breakfast or you’ll be late to school when yer done.”

Apple Bloom nodded quickly smiling to Rainbow and turned trotting upstairs to her room for her saddle bags.

“I like having her for a little sister, she’s smart and fun.”

“Dash, what’re you talkin about?”

“She totally pranked you with that whole question thing. You just haven’t got it yet,” Rainbow replied hovering by the table.

“Big Mac, do you know what,” she stopped to see him with his cheeks puffed trying to hold laughter in while he watched the pot almost too intently. “Well ya can both yuk it up, Ah’ll prank ya both so good ya won’t even believe it was me,” she finished falling to her flank at the table frowning between the two.

Apple Bloom returned and tossed her saddlebags by the door as she took her place at the table and at the space her bowl should have been. “Hey, where’s the plates and stuff?”

Rainbow groaned and flew to the cupboard opening it and grabbing the cups, bowls, and plates and flying back to the table as Big Mac placed the pot in the center of the table. “Whell it’s about time ya remembered your mornin’ chore. Ya don’t got lots so ya should know it by now.”

“Thank mom,” Rainbow said sarcstically before turning to get the tableware. She turned back to see the other three looking downbeat at the table. “Sheesh, who died?” Rainbow set the tableware down and took her place looking at Applejack waving a hoof.

“It’s nothing Dashie, let’s just eat.”

“Okay, looks great. I get first scoop!” Rainbow called reaching for the ladle and taking a big scoop and dropping it on Apple Blooms plate smiling at her.

“But, Dash?” she asked.

“I get first scoop, didn’t say I’m keeping it. Eat up A.B., ya got a long day ahead.”

“That was might nice of ya Dashing. Apple Bloom, eat up like aunt Rainbow says. She’s right, we’ve all gotta long day ahead and need a good meal in our bellies to start it right,” Applejack said smiling as Rainbow dropped a scoop of food on her plate while Big Mac poured drinks into the cups before him.

Applejack passed out a hard boiled egg each while Apple Bloom placed a raspberry muffin as close as she could to each adult and then herself. A plate was set for Granny who would be waking when she was ready.

Eating and trading fun little stories always made the day seem happier and some days that was what made a breakfast so important.

The mares met at the doctors office and sat in the lobby waiting for their turn. The clinic was clean and as sterile as magic could make it. A feeling washed over them every few minutes that made them tingle; a simple pain reduction spell that did wonders for headaches and smaller pains or aches.

There were toys in the corner for foals to play with and two large vertical windows on either side of the door to let ponies see out. Potted plants were scattered along the walls along with pictures hung of nature and scenery with one by the foal area with a popular cartoon mouse, duck, manticore and cat that would teach basic calculus and defensive techniques when facing a carnivore.

Rainbow spent a minute looking before trotting over and starting to play with the toys as Applejack blushed and hid her face with her hooves. She longed for her hat back but a promise is a promise, even if you regret it later.

“Misses Appledash?”

The two gasped then giggled walking side by side. “That Apple and Dash,” Applejack corrected.

“Well you’re the most well known mares in town, bets are placed and I’ve got Appledash for a your married name.”

Applejack and Rainbow stopped following the nurse to look to each other. Taking in a deep breath they started walking again in silence.

“Here you go, room A119. Doctor Potts will be in in a moment. I’ll scan you quickly to get some basics out of the way. First, race: earth pony. Name: Applejack. Blood type: A+. Age?”

“Uh, 19 ma’am.”

“19, okay. Reason for visit?”

“See if Ah’m able to carry.”

“Able, carry. Okay. Next is the great Rainbow Dash. I know the answer to every question since you’ve told everypony a dozen times everything about yourself.”

“Hey!” Rainbow protested before Applejack bumed her cutie mark to Rainbow’s cutie mark. “Fine, I do. But it’s only because I’m the best and they should know it.”

“Uh huh, sure you are. The doctor will be in shortly.”

The nurse left the room walking through the cloth hanging drape leaving them alone.

“Hey AJ?”

“Yup?”

“Do you think I can bring one of those toys in here to kill the time?”

Applejack facehoofed.

“So, no?”

“Yer sure yer not two foals in a costume?”

“If I was you’d be in for more of an adventure than carrying a foal,” Rainbow said smiling at the floor absently.

“Yup, yer right again. Whelp, can I have my hat back? Kinda feel naked without it.”

“AJ, you’re always naked ‘cept for your hair bands. That’s what I like about ya. And no, not till tonight. Ya gotta get it offa me.”

They smirked at the thought of fighting for the hat and what would ensue as the doctor walked in. A light grey unicorn stallion with a blue mane.

“Okay, so let’s get this started. Miss Applejack, please lay on this table.” He motioned to the floor and cast a spell raising a table from the floor to a comfortable height for her. She laid upon it and the doctors horn lit aglow and a 3D image of her appeared over her body with a green hue.

“Excellent health and a fantastic muscular skeletal system, even for an earth pony. Especially in your rear half.”

“You don’t gotta tell me,” Rainbow blurted looking intently at the image trying to understand what she was seeing.

“Right, well,” the doctor cleared his throat collecting himself, “everything looks to be in order and let me check your reproductive system… Well, that’s interesting,” he said as the image focused a great detailed image of Applejack’s uterus and vaginal canal. So detailed Rainbow hovered and went in closer to the image to get a better look.

“Wow, so that’s what I’ve been touching.”

“Rainbow Dash!?” Applejack shouted feeling her heart race and her cheeks starting to warm up from an oncoming blush she couldn’t fight. “Ahm sorry doc, she doesn’t have a filter fer this stuff.”

The doctor tried to stop smiling but couldn’t fight it. The image of what he could see and the knowledge of how it all worked was flashing through his mind.

“It’s quite alright. Happens all the time.”

Applejack felt him lying but let it go and instead glared at Rainbow who was still looking at the image tracing Applejack’s vagina in her mind.

“Well, it seems like you’re able to carry a foal but, OH MY GOSH!” The doctor shouted turning and jumping to a table behind them laughing uncontrollably.

“What in the-?” Applejack turned and rolled off the table in embarrassment hiding her head on the floor.

Rainbow looked to Applejack and the doctor as the image faded and returned her tongue to her mouth. “What? I was wondering how deep it went.”

A nurse peeked her head in to see what was so funny and saw the scene. She shrugged and left sparing the doctor one last glance at the doctor who was leaning on the desk pounding it with a hoof in a fit of uncontrolled laughter.

“Very well, I’m Doctor Night and I’m taking over for Doctor Potts. Apparently he’s having a laughing fit and is unavailable. Miss Dash, please lay on the table.”

Rainbow hovered over and laid down. A 3D image with mostly green hues over her body lit up with yellow on her ankles and wings.

“Interesting, I know you’re Rainbow Dash and all, but these images show that you’re pushing yourself too hard. Even for a Pegasus you’re stressing your body. The yellow shows stresses that aren’t healing. Your ankles are at a higher risk of arthritis and the same for your wings. In a few years you’ll start to notice a stiffness when you fly and it’ll only get worse unless you pace your flying.

“So, does that answer your questions?”

“What? I’ll be fine flying until I’m old. And we’re here about me carrying a foal.”

“Carrying a, oh Celestia darn it. I thought he wrote actually carrying, like picking up. Okay,” he sighed and focused on Rainbow’s reproductive system and nodded. “Yup, you’re in fine condition. When’re you going to start? I can schedule something for a month or so in Manehattan.”

Rainbow opened her wings and hovered over the table waving her forelegs. “Woah woah woah, no way. Not yet. We have a lot to do before then and I’m not losing my figure ever.”

“Now wait a apple bucking second. No way I’m carrying all of ‘em.”

“Ladies! This is a conversation to have elsewhere. Please, if you don’t have anymore questions you may go.”

“I have a question,” Rainbow asked raising her foreleg, “why are most doctors unicorns.”

“Because our magic can scan instantly and doesn’t require tools or other devices.”

“Cool, can I do it?”

The doctor and Applejack sighed deeply.

“C’mon Dashing, let’s git. We got time ta get a snack.”

“Okay, let’s go to Lime’s restaurant. She’ll get us a discount.”

With a nod they left the clinic and headed into town.
