"Oh god...I must be having a nightmare."

Heheha!

"I'm...pregnant..."

Aye.

"How did this happen? When I was very careful with being a mare..."

You'd love to know, wouldn't you?

"Wait...when Cyclon kissed me on the lips and I blacked out...who was there again?"

I was.

"Yes. Silver was there. She said that she knocked both me and Cyclon out and was controlling our bodies...but why do this to Cyclon?"

Perhaps because he also has some things to learn as well? Now you two are together in this. However, this will still be your lesson in lerning, ahem, 'learning' how precious life is and how you must accept the gift. Yet, I don't think that you can hear me. No matter. Even if you wake up, you'll still be in the hospital with the little bundle in yer BELLEH! Ya were just so hungry that ya ate it! *smack smack* Mmmm. Bebeh...the otherrr meat. Just because you're higher on the food chain doesn't validate your actions. Ha! I'm done with telling myself jokes now. Hm? What are you thinking about?

"OH GOD! She didn't! I was r-"

NONEEDFORTHAT! You still forced my essence, Derry. I was hoping that with that simple chi release, you'd be more willing, but, apparently, you are not. Now then, with us floating within this dark abyss like glow worms, let me see how you will react to having a child. My magics have grown tremendously thanks to the little bit of positivity you've been releasing, especially that hidden love.

The white essence of the Giga Sparkle, aka "The true Silver", swiped its white hoof in the air, leaving a trail of white mist to slowly dissipate. A small window seemed to open up. While her magic was certainly more developped now, it wasn't perfect. As a consequence, the window of "the future" was extremely blurred. The Giga Sparkle could barely discern anything, but heard laughing nonetheless. It closed the window and thought out loud:

Hm. There be issues. Good heavens! Just look at the time. Well then, 'Happy mother', I shall let you wake up and embrace the new life you are about to give birth to. I should warn you, but you can't hear anything. Heheheh. Do you feel like a monster now?

*GASP* I was sweating heavily, and this was cold sweat. Very cold sweat. So cold, in fact, that it felt like I was in Antartica. I was even hyper-ventilating. As I felt myself get drained of the last bit of energy left in me, I felt something placed over my face that helped steady my breathing. I was seeing in blurr, an I could hear a cackling followed by giggling of something small...young...

"Ahh!"

"Calm down, miss! You've only fainted...first. That shoulda been the job of your hubby over there."

"Wha-?"

I wiped and rubbed my eyes to see Cyclon wide awake and staring at the ceiling in a shocked manner.

"That was just a dream then? I'm not pregnant?"

"Oh, I don't know anything about that." said the nurse.

The nurse in front of me had a red mane and tail and a hot pink body. Her eyes were emerald green, and she seemed very sweet, that's until that...other guy came in. Ahem, "guy".

" 'Course you're pregnant sweetie. You think the doctor gets mistakes like that? Certainly not. He's my cube of sugah."

Everyone cringed simultaneously, and the sound of exhasperation could be heard from afar.

"Wh-wh-what? I never even did that! Who's the father?"

The two nurses looked at eachother and, with a lift of their heads, pointed towards Cyclon, who nervously turned his head to look at me. Despite his white coat, I could see that he was paler than usual. I simply squinted.

"Did you notice anything strange about me during that point in time?" I couldn't think about doing that in any way poss-GAH! DAMN YOU BRAIN!

I am the mastah!

"I...I don't recall doing that either. I mean, I kissed you, but then I blacked out. I had assumed that you punched the crap outta me and that I was dead."

"Whateva. You two can talk 'bout that outside. Now as for you, little missy." Greta pointed at Silver who was now glaring back. "Don't you make those eyes at me! You better lay down on all activities and rest when you feel sick. You have a widdle thing in your belly that's just ready to reach out into the world to meet its mommy and daddy. It's impolite to make them wait or to hurt them in the process."

"Anything else?" Cyclon asked.

"Nope. You two are stable now, so you can leave."

"Th-thank you."

I ripped off the breathing apparatus and hopped down the bed. I glared viciously at Cyclon, trying to tell him indirectly that I wanted his blood on a golden platter. He understood, and was shrinking away. The two nurses just stared at us in confusion and amusement. As we were about to leave the room, I kicked that bastard into a wall, tossing a bunch of objects on the floor with him. I hope he learned his lesson. I hate this. I thought Silver was my friend. Why would she do this to me? She was the last person that I "loved" seeing as nobody ever loved me in return and she was also my very first and only gift...until I reached this world. I waited for Cyclon outside the hospital, hoping he'd come. I had a thing or two to tell him...in a "calm" manner, and here he came. He was brusied up and dirty, and he looked at me in shame as he dragged his head between his legs. I walked up firmly towards him and spoke sternly and confidently:

"Listen Cyclon, I don't know what happened (I like to lie a bit) but what I do know is that-"

"I take full responsibility."

"Yeah and...wait what?"

"I also do not know what occured that day, but perhaps it was something unknown that caused it. Either way, I'm still the father and I will take care of the child. I am a captain of the royal guard after all, and I have been tasked with protecting everything, even if...it means my...ngh!" he was biting his lips and twitching. "My own child..."

"Woah. I see that you're as disturbed as I am."

"Are you kidding me? I never wanted to be a father. I just wanted to have a nice life with a kind, pretty mare, and that we would die in peace somewhere in nature."

"I...I never actually wanted anything other than living alone."

"Because of what you told me about your family?"

I looked to the ground.

"Yes. I've never had the best childhood, and the years later never helped much. Let's just say that I thought I'd never get a...you know..."

I put a hoof to my stomach. "Oh god. This is horribly awkward. What am I going to do?!"

I dunno. Not my fault. Deal with it while I imagine putting on some sunglasses.

"Yeah. Well, it's best that we get back to the house. We have much to do. I'll have to tell Bullseye that I won't be there for the meeting and that, if he needs anything from me, he'll have to come directly here or pass through Motel."

I rolled my eyes at the name of that weird pegasus. Just two days ago, he raced Rainbow Dash. I thought she could never be beaten. He even placed a bet for a little smooch on the cheek. Nothing more, nothing less. If Rainbow won, he'd have to do her meteorological work for a month. I don't know how he did, but he beat her, and he wasn't even tired either. Rainbow gave him that kiss on the cheek, he bowed, then just dropped through the clouds before performing a crazy-ass manoeuvre back to the Carrot family farm.

"Then I suggest you pass by Twilight's house. I feel tired. I'm going to bed for now. This is too much to take in."

"I hear ya. Well, see you later."

Seriously. I felt like my soul was being sucked out of my body. What the hell was going on? It's like I was being attacked by Freddy Krueger or something. I could literally feel some sort of claws itching away at my mind. Everything started to blur and tilt, but I held strong and galopped towards the house. The spell dissolved, and I dragged myself all the way to the bed. I had never felt so comfortable before. I rolled around in the comfortors and pillows like a happy dog and fell asleep after rolling up in the comfortors like a caterpillar. I felt myself drift off to a land full of brightness. Oh, was I ever so wrong.

I woke up in the cottage again. I moaned and looked to my side to see that noone was there. A shrug was followed by me jumping off the bed, only to land rather highly on the ground.

"The fuck? *gasp* My voice...I'm me again! Woohoo!" I shouted as I threw my arms in the air. I took the time to look at my wiggling fingers on my hands. "Ah. It's good to have these things again. That was a really...weird dream I had. That felt like long-ass dream too. Weeeeeeeeeird. But atleast I'm myself again. Now let's see how those who tried to breach my home are toasted. I just love that security system."

With a wide smile and semi-closed eyes, I walked up to the windows up front, being careful not to knock over my T.V. or glass table. Pushing the curtains aside, I could see some people twitching and smoking in front of the electrical fence.

"Haha! I should help them...Nah!"

With another big laugh, I hopped over to my fridge in its little corner of the house. This "kitchen" wasn't too big, but it was exactly what I needed to cook. I took out some leftovers from the previuos night and slouched on the couch happily. Turning on the television, I got to see some funny movie that had just started. It was barely an hour long, that I noticed that long counter that passed through the middle of the house. At its edge stood the Silver doll. Wanting a little conversation with myself, I said with my mouth full:

"Nomf...Hey Silver...Mmm. I had the worst dream. I actually dreamt that I had...momf...become you and that you made me pregnant near...the...end? What the fuck?"

Everything was going quiet as an ominous feeling was coming from the stuffed pony. I stared longer at it and saw a little spark that appeared for barely a nano-second. Suddenly, bitch and oil came through the door.

"What the hell are you two doing here?"

"Can't we come to see our only child?" my mother said, wearing some nasty swamp green outfit.

"No."

"Let us not be too violent now. We just came by to say hello." Oil followed.

"No. You aren't getting my money. I'm passing it to shelters and animal refuges while leaving a little for me so I can live peacefully out here. Now fuck off. You don't deserve to be called parents."

"When you're about to become one? How ironic." bitch mocked.

I looked at her like "Huh?".

"Yes. In fact, your grand-father came by to see you."

"Grand-pa? B-but he's dead!"

"I may be old, but I'm not THAT old yet."

There he was, in flesh and bone.

"But, then why did you give me an inheritance and fake your death?"

"You catch on quick. It's because you needed the money. What with you becoming a mother and all."

The other two nodded caringly.

"What the fuck are you tal-My voice! Oh no. Ah!"

I looked at my hands to see that I had those silvery hooves like before. I was Silver again.

"Wh-wh-what? B-but..."

"Shshh. Calm down Derry. The little one needs to grow big and strong. I'll have a great-grandson or a great -granddaughter, who knows."

"B-but I'm not a mare! I'm not a pony! I'm a full-grown man." I started to stutter and cry.

My grandfather grabbed me in a hug while tears continued to seep from my eyes and I continued to have those sudden inhales of air.

"Derry, I'm the only thing real here. You may be having a horrible nightmare here and in reality, but you will have to accept what is happening. It's too late now."

I pushed away from him to get a better look at that always caring face. I was expecting an evil grin like when Discord created those weird creatures to trick me. Instead, I still had that same caring face staring at me.

"But I'm not a mare. *sniff* I'm not pregnant.*sniff*"

"Little Derry. You've always been sensitive, although violent too." he said with a casual glimpse to the side. I pouted as my lower lip shook. "Awww. You look adorable now."

"Stop that. This isn't funny. Silver has gone mad and she is torturing me now. Make her stop!"

"Heh. Silver isn't torturing you...erm...entirely. Although I must admit that she went a bit overboard this time. I'm guessing she got tired of waiting for an evolution from you."

"What do you mean?"

"She already told you that. What I'm sure of, is that you have a little child in your tummy."

He put his hand on my still flat stomach. He had a way of comforting and calming me down. Of all the creatures in the universe, he was the only one I could trust. I loved him very much, but he died trying to get to me after the years where I grew colder and more distant. I wonder...

"Do not worry Derry, I'm still here. I've been helping you get through this since the first day. I'll still be here to watch over you. Now then, it's time to wake up from this bad dream and that evil impersonation of Silver."

He tapped me once more on my belly before setting me back on the ground. I sat on my rear as I stared at him with gigantic watery eyes. He stood up and firmly grasped the evil Silver and tore it to pieces and tossed the stuffing into the air.

"Let the light purify you and heal you."

"What? Huh?"

I felt myself engulfed by a bright white light, only to wake up with Cyclon shaking me.

"Silver. Silver! Wake up!"

"Huh?"

I stood up difficultly, then I lift my arms."Damn. Hooves. *sigh* Then that wasn't a dream."

"You were mumbling something about your grandfather and you were crying."

I wiped my eyes in sadness as I sniffed heavily. I was about to break when Cyclon gave me a hug.

"There there. No need to cry. I'm here, aren't I? We'll get through this together. I won't let you deal with this alone."

"I...Thanks, Cyclon."

He nodded and left the room to get something in the kitchen. I took the opportunity to look outside through the window. The sun was beginning to set, but the world was still bright with its sunlight?

"Hm. I wonder if that really was my grandfather. I hope he's was telling the truth."
