"Matt, you've been on that thing all day. It's the first day of summer, come spend some time with me!" Rainbow whines from my bed. She has a point. I've been on my laptop all day long. I've been searching for something that I've been thinking over since March. Damn, all these houses are so expensive!

"I'm trying to find something for the both of us. You'll thank me later." I say simply as I continue to browse the web. I hear Rainbow walk up to me, and she props herself against the desk with her front legs.

"What are you even looking at?"

"Well, might as well tell you." I say as I turn the laptop so she can see it. "I've been looking for houses for a while now. If we're going to be a family, I want to have my own place. There just won't be enough room for six people in this house. There's barely enough room for you. Besides, my parents still aren't happy about you being pregnant and all."

"I thought they were excited for us."

"Well, they are, and they aren't. They're disappointed in me for getting you pregnant, even though that wasn't my fault, but they're also excited to be grandparents. So, I guess they're happy for you, but mad at me."

"Oh, okay... So how do you plan to afford an entire house Matt? You're eighteen for Celestia's sake." I reach into my pocket without even looking at her, and pull out four bits. These outta catch me a pretty penny.

"These are worth hundreds of thousands. I'm gonna sell them." I continue looking at the screen.

"I thought you didn't want to sell any bits. You wanted to do everything on your own."

"Sometimes life takes a turn on you Rainbow. You just need to learn to adjust, and this is how I'm gonna do it." My eye catches a picture of a really nice two story house about two miles from here. It's really expensive, but I think the bits could cover it. I already told my parents I wanted to move out, and they can't stop me now that I'm eighteen. Don't get me wrong, I don't WANT to leave, I HAVE to leave. Rainbow and the baby are my responsibility, and I just can't take care of them here.

"So, you're really going to do this?" She says with an unreadable expression. I want to provide the best for her so... Yeah, I'm sure about this.

"You deserve the best I can buy Rainbow, so yeah, I'm sure about this. I think I'm gonna get this one." I point to the amazing two story house that almost looks like a damn mansion.

"Matt, that's almost a million dollars, are you sure you can afford it?"

"If I can't, I'll just borrow some more bits from Twilight, and use those to pay for the rest. No matter what, I will be able to afford this."

"If you say so. Whatever you think we should do, I'll support it." She kisses the side of my face before trotting off. All right... lets do this...

*2 Weeks Later*

"Alright, that's the last box." I say as Alex sets down the box of my childhood sports trophies. "Thanks again guys for the help. This really is a nice place."

"No problem, we're always glad to help!" Skyler says as she wipes her forehead. "So, when are you gonna take us to your little island house?" I finished the cabin on the island without Rainbow, but I still need to stock it with food and furniture. Looks like that'll be my next project.

"When I furnish it. Then the four of us can go hang out on our own personal island. How cool is that gonna be!?" I say excitedly as Rainbow comes down the stairs.

"It'll be awesome!" Alex says as he pumps his fist. "So, mister rich guy. How did you afford all of this anyway?" Alex asks with a smirk. I pull a bit that I hadn't sold out of my pocket, and flip it to him. "Is this real gold!?"

"Yep, straight out of Equestria. Still got like three hundred thousand in the bank. Keep that one if you want."

"Really!? Ah dude, I could buy so much shit with this!" Alex says as he clutches the gold coin.

"Um, I know you're gonna split that with me." Skyler says with a smirk as she slap Alex on the back. He gives her a nervous smile and nods.

"Matt, can you come lay down with me? I'm not feeling so hot." Rainbow says from the top of the stairs. I nod to her and she disappears back into the bedroom.

"I guess I gotta go. I'll let you guys know when we can hang out again!" I say with a wave as I walk up to the bedroom. I hear Alex and Skyler say bye before walking out the front door. I open the door to the master bedroom, but Rainbow isn't even in the room. I hear some grunting and heaving breathing coming from the bathroom. That's one good thing about this house, the bathroom is inside the bedroom, as apposed to my old house where I had to go down the hall to get to it.

"Rainbow? You good?" I say as I peek my head into the bathroom. I immediately gag and plug my nose with my fingers. There's poor Rainbow, hunched over the toilet. I push through the smell, and kneel down next to her. I can see tears on her face, probably from the strain being exerted on her. I remember being really sick last year, and the force of throwing up alone had me in tears all day. This must be from being pregnant.

I push the hair out of her face, and place my hand on her back. I rub my hand up and down the fur on her back, trying my best to relax her. When another violent surge come ones, I close my eyes, but keep trying to comfort her. I fill a glass of water from the sink and put it in front of her.

"Drink this." I say as I put the glass up to her lips. She nods slightly, and takes a small sip from the cup. She coughs a little before turning and wrapping her legs around my neck.

"I think it's over. Thanks Matt." She says weakly. I pick her up and carefully carry her back to our bed. Another thing I'm glad I was able to buy. A big king sized bed. I decided to only buy furniture and food with the money from the bits, everything else will be saved away for emergencies only. I still want to have a normal job with normal income. This still feels like taking the easy way out, but if it helps me take care of Rainbow and the baby, then it's worth it.

I gently put Rainbow down on the bed, and flip on the TV. Maybe a little television can help her drift off to sleep, even if it is only one in the afternoon. It still feels really weird to have my own place, but I'm glad that I'm not in any kind of debt. Most people are in debt for their house for years, but I got this just by asking Twilight for a few bits. Now that's what I call playing the system.

I'm about to walk out of the room, but a voice stops me.

"Matt, can you stay with me please?" Rainbow asks as she looks at me from under the covers with big, sad eyes. Dammit, she knows I can't turn her down when she does that. I walk back over and kick my shoes off. I get under the covers and put switch over to a movie on the TV. I turn onto my side, and pull Rainbow into my chest. I put one hand over her chest, and one over her stomach, rubbing the growing lump. Still another six and a half months until we can add a third member to our little unofficial family.

Rainbow sighs in contentment, and a small smile grows on her face. She drifts off to sleep a few minutes later. I close my eyes, and soon fall into a calm, dreamless slumber.
