"No, seriously, is there anything wrong with her Alex?"

"I just told you what I know."

"Dude, stop messing with me, it's not cool."

"I'm not! I'm telling the truth. Rainbow actually is-"

"No she isn't!" And there's the denial settling in. Alex is my best friend, so he wouldn't lie to me would he? No, he has to be lying.

"I'll call a fucking doctor in here right now to prove it!"

"She couldn't be pregnant though!"

"Are you saying you two haven't done it? If you haven't, then Rainbow's cheating on you Matt. We can get a DNA test done if that'll prove it to you."

"What's the point? We aren't compatible anyway, our genetics just don't match up. It would be impossible. But then again... She hasn't been around any guys in Equestria for that to happen... Tell me again that you aren't fucking with me."

"I swear on my life that I'm telling the truth. You're gonna be a dad Matt, and there is nothing you can do about it."

I rub my hands down my face and groan. How the hell could this even happen? It just doesn't make sense! Our genetics don't match, and if Biology taught me anything, it's that only two of the same species can reproduce. As soon as I'm out of here, I'm paying Twilight a visit, she might know what's going on. I gotta keep my cool...

Alright, they're letting me walk around today. They said Rainbow woke up about an hour ago, but she still doesn't know about her... situation. I asked if I could be the one to tell her, and they allowed me to see her for a little bit. The walk to her room feels like it takes forever, even if it is only about twenty feet down the hall. Thankfully I got to change into my normal clothes so I don't have to walk around in one of those damn hospital gowns.

"Knock knock" I say quietly as I walk into Rainbow's room. There she is, eyes closed, probably napping, with a bandage on her head. Luckily we had just both suffered from minor head trauma. We should be able to get out of here soon enough.

"Matt?" Rainbow says with a weak smile as I walk up to her bed. It's so much bigger than her, but then again, it was built for someone three times her size.

"Hey..." I say glumly as I kneel down next to her.

"You okay?" She says as she puts a hoof on the side of my face. "I missed you."

"I... I'm fine..."

"The doctors told me we were both in a coma for a few days. But... they told me they found something about me. They wouldn't tell me what was wrong Matt. I'm scared."

"You don't need to be, because I know what they found..."

"What? Is it something serious?" Rainbow says with a couple tears already forming in her eyes.

I don't respond at first, and I slowly reach my hand over to the sheets covering her body. I slowly pull them down to reveal Rainbow's lower half. I start to rub my hand over her stomach and I choke up a little on my own tears. I don't know if they're fear or joy, but that doesn't matter right now. I keep rubbing my hand over the little lump on her stomach, and eventually meet her eyes.

"...You're a mom Rainbow..." I say slowly.

"I... what, me..." She stutters a little before feeling her own stomach. That must have been why I thought she had gained weight, as well as why she said her stomach hurt right before we crashed. Damn it! The signs were all there but I missed them!

"Now, I have a question Rainbow."

"Y-You, wha-" She still can't make full words. I can see why.

"Am I, or am I not the father?" I ask seriously. Moment of truth folks.

"W-What? Of course you are! I haven't been with anyone else, I swear! Why would you even think that?" She says with a couple of tears streaming down her face. "Y-You aren't going to l-leave me are you?"

...Would I? If I stay with her, I'll have to be a father to God knows what that thing will look like. We aren't even married, and that means we'd have to GET married before the baby came. I could just send her back to Equestria and leave her there... No! What the fuck brain, why would you even think about something like that!?

"I'll never leave you." I say as I wrap my arms around her neck. We both sob there for a little bit, still not sure if the tears are from joy or fear of the unknown. "I need to go see someone, can you wait here for a few minutes?"

"I'm not going anywhere." She says with a light laugh. I pull out my phone, which the doctors gave back to me, and open a portal to Twilight's place. I could get in so much trouble for leaving the hospital, but screw it, here goes nothing. I walk through and almost stumble into Twilight on the other side.

"Hey Matt! What brings y- You don't look so good. Have you been crying?" Her voice quickly changes to one of worry.

"Yeah... I have. We got some news about Rainbow, and I'm still having a hard time accepting it."

"What's wrong with her? Is she hurt!?"

"No, it's um... Rainbow is pregnant, Twilight."

"WHAT!? Matt, that's amazing news! Why would you be sad about that!?"

"Because I don't know if it's really mine. I mean, our genetics don't match, she WAS here for three weeks without me in a depressed state. What if she did something stupid during that time and..." I almost start to break down again.

"Come here." Twilight says as she makes me kneel down with her magic and wraps her legs around me. "I have an idea. Follow me." I get up and follow Twilight into her basement where she has a ton of lab equipment. She pulls out a box with some medical supplies, and levitates it over to a table in the center of the room.

"What are you gonna do with those?"

"DNA test. We'll test if humans and Equestrian ponies are compatible with each other."

"Twilight, that's fucking stupid. I already know that two species can't reproduce."

"Do you really know that? If both of our genetics match up enough, it would be possible. Now, stand still while I take a blood sample." Twilight levitates and empty needle over to me, and I hold out my arm for her. She draws a little blood, and sets it down in a tray. I take her blood for her, and place it next to my own. She places the two samples into some machine, and it closes with a *ding!*

"So, this will compare our DNA?" I ask as I watch the machine buzz away.

"Yep! This will tell us if you're compatible with Rainbow or not."

"Again, I've never heard of two different species reproducing. Are you sure about this Twilight?"

"Magic." She says with a smirk. Of course she would bring magic into this. I swear, if magic is the answer to this, I'm going to flip my sh- Oh hey it's done. Twilight levitates the tray out of the machine, and reads a long list of results in front of me. She has a good poker face, because I can't tell what she's thinking just by her facial expressions.

"Well?" I say nervously. Moment of truth.

"...Told you so. I have no idea why, but our genetics are almost identical." She says as she shoves the results in my face. I'm no scientist, but I can tell that the results do indeed match up. No. Fucking. Way. So it's true, she didn't cheat on me! All the stress floats away, only to be replaced by a new kind of stress. I'm going to be a father... that set in rather quickly. I'm gonna have to marry Rainbow if I want to keep this from being too weird.

"Twilight, how long do ponies carry?"

"About eleven months. Why?" I do the math in my head. Let's assume she conceived on January 31st when she was in heat as that was the day she got me in the bathroom, that would mean... we should be expecting around Christmas this year. What a gift huh? Alright Matt, pull yourself together, this isn't a bad thing, so don't freak out over it... Oh damn it brain, thanks for thinking about THAT. If Alex knew about Rainbow, then surely my parents did by now. They're gonna beat my ass for getting a girl pregnant aren't they? Shit.

"Just wondering... Ugh, thanks Twilight, you really helped me out this time."

"No problem! But Matt." She catches me before I can leave the room. "I want you to bring Rainbow to Equestria for checkups, your doctors probably won't know how to treat her like we do. I'd say you should bring her here about once a month to make sure everything is going smoothly.

"I will, thanks." I say with a wave as I walk back upstairs and open a portal to Rainbow's room. I can see her in her bed through the portal, and she looks over at me and smiles. I walk through and run into her with a hug as the portal behind me closes.

"I'm here to stay Rainbow." I say as I start to rub the bump on her stomach again. It's small right now, but I can already see it getting much bigger.

"Thank you. I thought you would run out on me." She says through new tears.

"I would never abandon you. And I would never run out on our kid." Damn, referring to a kid as MINE is going to take getting used to. I mean, I'm a fucking junior in highschool for fuck's sake. Good thing we're both eighteen, or we wouldn't be legal age to marry. I suppose we'll have to get married in Equestria, unless they count Rainbow as a civ-

My mind stops. How did I never realize this? Rainbow never actually became an official citizen of the United States! Okay, well we definitely won't be able to do that here unless she takes the test to become a citizen. Maybe I'll have her do that over the summer.

I fall asleep with my head resting against Rainbow's stomach. Before I drifted off I could feel her stomach and chest moving up and down slowly as she drifted off as well.

This is gonna be one hell of an adventure... for both of us.
