SoarinDash Shorts : Family
Chapter 1: Family
(Rainbow Dash POV)
It had been 2 weeks since Soarin and I got married, and I could say that was the best decision we made. We have been living happily ever since, the days have been great. Ok more or less great. In the last few days I was not feeling very well, yesterday I checked in at Ponyville Hospital and when the doctor gave me the result of what was happening to me, I completely froze, I almost fainted. I was pregnant. Pregnant from my husband's foal.
I did not know what to do, I was very worried about all this. Me and Soarin were not yet ready to have a foal, there would be no one to look after him while we worked. And I was also afraid that Soarin would not like the news and leave me.
I was desperate, now I was lying in my bed just thinking about everything that has been happening, when suddenly the door opened revealing Soarin with a tray full of food.
"Good morning sweetie" he said as he approached me.
"Good morning" I said.
"You did not come down to breakfast, so the way it was brought here for you, in fact it's been a while since you've been eating very well. Dashie, are you okay?" Soarin asked me as he sat beside me on the bed. I just nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine, Soarin. I'm just not hungry" I said as I turned away.
Soarin shook his head, grabbed my hooves and made me look at him again.
"Rainbow sweetie, tell me what's going on, if you're in trouble I can help" he said in a subdued tone.
I bit my lip and looked away.
"I can not ...." I said with tears starting to form in my eyes
"Sweetie you know you can trust me, now let's go without further secrets and tell me what's going on" Soarin said as he held my hooves hard.
I turned around again and said
"I can not tell you ..... If not you're going to leave us ...." I said
"Oh this is ridiculous Dashie I never- Wait? We?" Soarin said confusedly.
I bit my lip and turned around again.
"W-Well ..... I-I ..." I tried to say
"Wait are you .....?" He started
I took a deep breath and said,
"I'm pregnant ..." I said.
Soarin's eyes widened and he pulled away from me a little.
"Wh-what ...?" He said
I nodded and then the room was silent. None of us said anything else. Until Soarin approached me and turned me around so that I would have his back to him, so he began to slowly kiss my neck and went up to my ear.
"You mean I'm going to be a father?" He asked me
"Yes ... You're not mad, are you?" I asked
"Rainbow Dash, that's the best news I've ever had! We'll finally have our own foal running around this house, I would never be angry with such a news, why did not you tell me before?" Soarin said
"I was afraid that you would leave me and .... I feel like I'm not ready to be a mother yet .... And who would take care of the baby while we're at home?" I said still in tears
"Do not worry Dashie, you know I would never leave you, I promised to stay by your side at all times and I will not break that promise. And yes .... I am not fully prepared to be a father, we work together I'm sure there may be hope for this family, and do not worry about who would take care of the baby, I'm sure our parents and our friends can help us with this" Soarin said as he pulled me into a fort hugged and wiped away my tears.
"Are you sure about that?" I asked still uncertain
"Of course, Dashie. Do not worry, I'll be with you every step of the way no matter what" he said as he kissed his lips.
After that kiss I felt a little more confident.
"Okay" I said looking at my belly still not much bigger than normal.
______________________________________
"WHAT!!!" My friends shouted at the same time while Soarin and I were in the castle of friendship to make the big news.
"Ohhh that's just Darling fantastically!" Rarity said taking some tears from her eyes.
"Yes Congratulations Rainbow Dash and Soarin" said Applejack
"Oh Rainbow, I'm so happy for you!" Said Fluttershy
"YAAAAAA I do not believe !!! Now I'm going to have more babies to play !!! Yay! Best day of my life !!!" Said Pinkie Pie jumping from side to side after she ran up to me and gave me a big hug.
"Urgh, Pinkie? I'm running out of air!" I said into her embrace.
She released me and then opened another huge smile.
"Congratulations Rainbow Dash, you and Soarin deserve all the best!" Twilight said as she leaned in and gave me a hug.
"Thank you Twilight, thank you girls" I said.
______________________________________
At Wonderbolt headquarters ...
"But this is amazing! Congratulations to you both!" Spitfire said hugging Soarin and me.
"Thank you Spitty," Soarin said.
"Yay, now Soarin's going to be a daddy!" Said Fleetfoot
"Yes, they are married for only two weeks and are already having their first foal!" Said Misty Fly
Me and Soarin just smiled
______________________________________
"So, are we going to tell your parents now?" Soarin asked me as we flew in the skies of Ponyville.
"Well if you want?" I said
Soarin nodded.
Suddenly we heard a scream coming from the floor.
"Hi Rainbow Dash!"
Soarin and I got closer to the ground and found Scootaloo with her friends.
"Hi Scoots, Hi girls!" I said
"Is it true that you and Soarin are having a baby?" Asked Sweetie Belle
"Is it a foal or a filly?" Asked Apple Bloom
"When will your belly start to grow?" Asked Scootaloo
"Whoa calm girls, one question at a time!" I said
"Well yes, Rainbow Dash and I are having a baby. We still do not know if it's a foal or a filly, and maybe her belly grows in 3 months" Soarin said with a wink at the end
"Ohhh Rainbow Dash Congratulations! You have no idea how happy I am for you!" Scootaloo said
I smiled and then I approached her and messed up her mane.
"Thank you Scoots" I said.
"But then, does it mean I'm going to be aunt ?! Yay!"

In Rainbow Dash's parenting house ...
"Hello Dashie! Hello Soarin! Please come in and I'm free!" My mother told Windy Whistles as she led Soarin and I into the living room.
"Thank you, Mrs. Whistles," said Soarin.
"Mom, where's daddy? Soarin and I need to tell you both" I said.
"Oh yeah, wait just a second I'll call you" she said as she flew toward a room in the house.
After a few minutes she came back with my dad Bow Hothoof.
"Your mother told me that you had something to tell us, so tell us before you kill us with curiosity" he said with a smile.
Soarin and I looked at each other and he held my hoof firmly before we faced my parents again.
"We're having a baby!" We said at the same time
"Ohhh, that's amazing, honey! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! I do not believe in eleven months I'm going to be a grandmother, yay!" My mother said as she approached Soarin and I hugged her tightly.
"Yes, this is simply incredible, oh Rainbow my dear we are so proud of you, first you marry a great stallion and now you will be a mother soon!" My dad said taking some tears from his eyes.
"Thank you Daddy" I said.

1 month later...
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was lying on the couch in my living room taking a nap, as I did every afternoon. Suddenly a blue-baby stallion approached me and said
"Dashie, wake up" he said softly.
I slowly opened my eyes and let out a huge yawn.
"Why Soarin? I was having the best dream of my life!" I complained
He rolled his eyes and said
"Come on, Dashie, do not you want to see if our foal is okay? And if it's a boy or a girl?" He said
I sighed and nodded.
"Okay, let's go" I said as I started to get up
"Perfect" he said with a smile.
______________________________________
At the hospital...
"Good afternoon to you two Wonderbolts, how could I help such celebrities today?" Nurse Redheart asked
Soarin approached her and said,
"Hello, my wife scheduled an appointment to find out the sex of your baby today" he said.
Redheart nodded and led us to a room in the hospital.
"Both of you here, the doctor is already waiting for you" she said pointing to the ultrasound room
"Thank you," I said as we entered the room.
"Oh you must be the couple Rainbow Dash and Soarin to make the ultrasound is not it?" The doctor in the room asked
"Yes, we came to find out the sex of our baby today" said Soarin.
The doctor nodded and said,
"Could you please sit down while the process is done?" The doctor asked
"Sure" I said as I sat on a bed in the living room. The doctor put a substance on my stomach and started looking at a screen next to it. Soarin stood beside me holding my helmet the whole time.
Suddenly a strange expression appeared on the doctor's face. Soarin and I were a little worried about that.
"Is something wrong doctor?" I asked
Suddenly his expression changed to a big smile.
"Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Dash, you're having twins!" He said
"TWINS?!" Soarin and I scream at the same time.
"Yes, two girls, they are growing well and they seem to be very healthy. I'll fill in some things and I'll be back in a few minutes" the doctor said as he left the room
Everything went quiet until Soarin broke the silence by asking me,
"How are you feeling sweetie?"
"I do not know ... I was barely ready for a foal and now we're going to have two? I do not know if I can do this Soarin .... How am I going to be a good influence on our daughters?"
Suddenly a few tears began to form in my eyes. Soarin saw this and approached me, wiping away my tears.
"Hey, do not worry Dashie, it's going to be all right. Like your husband I promised to stay by your side at all times no matter what happens and I will not break that promise. perfect, and you'll be the most awesome and cool mother of all Equestria!" He said then leaned over and gave me a soft kiss on my lips.
"Do you really think we'll be good parents?" I asked
"I know we will" he said as he rubbed my cheek with his head.

5 months later ...
(Soarin POV)
Dash was now six months pregnant, and the days have been great since then. Okay, I lied, almost great. Dash has been very stressed lately and has had various desires and nausea during the day. Which is understandable for a pregnant mare.
I was now in the market buying some things Dash had asked me for and I was impressed by her choices. But I was willing to do anything for my beautiful Dashie, even clean the bathroom with a toothbrush as she made me do the last did that she had a fit of rage over the pregnancy ...
"I hope I got everything Dash asked me to do" I thought as I started flying home.
______________________________________
"Soarin? Is that you?" Dash asked me as she turned to see who was coming home.
"Yes dear, it's me" I said as I set the groceries on the kitchen counter.
"Did you bring everything I asked for?" She asked me
"Yes Dashie, some things were kind of hard to find but I got it after all .... And Dash? Are you sure you'll be able to eat all this by yourself?" I asked a little uncertain
She closed her eyes and nodded.
"Yes Soarin I will.I am pregnant not only from a foal but two, so you expected what?" She said
I just put the hull behind my neck and nodded.
Soon after she began to prepare several different dishes with various strange combinations. Then she sat in front of the table and began to eat everything in the blink of an eye.
I was impressed with the scene at the front and just kept watching her eat and then ending it all with a huge burp.
"Satisfied sweetheart?" I asked as I picked up some plates and put them in the sink.
"A lot" she said
"Well I'm going to the bedroom, if you need anything let me know" I said as I started to climb the stairs
"Okay" she said.
______________________________________
"Urgh Soarin comes here!" A voice yelled at me from the bathroom.
I approached the bathroom and saw Dash holding my training bag with an angry look.
"What was that sweetie?" I asked in a calm tone
"Can you explain to me what your backpack does in the bathroom?" She said in a low dangerous voice
"...."
"That's what I thought!" "Ah, I told you about it!" "There's no such thing as a crash in DASH'S HOUSE!"
"Dash's house?"
"Do you have any problems with that, or do you want to face my anger?"
I just shook my head and gave him a shy smile.
"Of course not sweetie"
______________________________________
In the evening...
"Urgh!"
I woke up in the middle of the night with a sound coming from the bathroom. Must be Dash with morning sickness again.
"Urgh, my god, when will this end? I can not even sleep in peace" Rainbow complained as she left the bathroom.
"Well you're going to have to get used to it, because up ahead we're both going to wake up every night listening to crying and changing diapers" I said.
"Yes ..." she said as she lay beside me on the bed
"But it will be worth it in the end when we have our future little Wonderbolts running around this house" I said.
"Oh yes, by the way Soarin did you see my first Daring Do book? I can not find him anywhere" Dash said.
"Oh this ..." I said in a slightly nervous tone
Dash saw this and raised an eyebrow
"Soarin? You know what happened to my book? Tell me the truth!" She said
"Well Dashie knows .... Today I unwittingly dropped coffee on him this morning and ...." I started
Dash's eyes widened and then she gave me a dangerous look.
"WHAT?!"
"I'm sorry honey, I swear I'll try to find another book just like you ..."
"That's good, and tonight you're going to sleep on the couch!"
"What?"
"And do not argue with me if it's not going to be the neighbor's dog's house!"
I sighed and tried not to argue with her.
"It's all right..."
______________________________________
3 months later ...
(Rainbow Dash POV)
The months have been very stressful, and the more time passed the more my belly grew. Soarin has been very protective of me. Especially my pregnancy. One time he almost hit a stallion when he knocked me to the ground while I was 7 months pregnant. Now I was 9 months pregnant, which meant that it was only 2 months before the baby was born, and I was still trying to get used to the idea of being a mom soon. But luckily Soarin always supports me with everything I need, and I consider myself a lucky mare for having someone like him in my life.
The only bad thing even during all these months, is the part of that I can not do any kind of practice we Wonderbolts. Yes, from my 4th month of pregnancy Spitfire had given me a maternity leave so that I would stay out of the Wonderbolts for at least 6 months after the foal was born. And it was killing me. Because after all, flying was my passion, and now I just had to stay home without flying, that was very annoying.
Now I was packing at home to go to the Sugarcube Conner for my foal's baby shower. (Foals in fact)
I had only invited a few ponies that I had more relationship with. My friends + Starlight, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Trixie and my mother Windy Whistles.
Soarin will be staying here at home with some stallions for part of the male baby shower. I knew they were coming: Wave Chill, Rapidfire, Lightning Streak, Flash Sentry, Cheese Sandwich, Discord, Spike, Big Maintosh and my father Bow Hothoof.
"Soarin I'm leaving, I'll see you later" I said as I prepared to leave the house.
"Okay dear, and good for the baby shower" he said.
"You too, Bye!" I said as I prepared to take off, until two hooves stopped me.
"No Dashie! This is your 9th month of pregnancy, I can not let you fly under these conditions!"
I just rolled my eyes
"Soarin I'll be fine, believe me I'm Rainbow Dash after all, is not it? I can take care of myself" I said.
"I know but the doctor said that you can not fly much so do not put pressure on your body because-" He started
"It can cause serious damage to the twins, yes yes I know you do not have to keep reminding me"
"So?"
"Or trust me, I'll be well promised"
"Alright .... But anything is just whispering my name okay?"
I smiled and nodded. After that I leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.
"Do not do any nonsense at home while I'm gone, okay?" I said and he nodded after that I started to take off up the sky towards the Sugarcube Conner.
______________________________________
"Rainbow! You finally arrived, we were all waiting for you," Pinkie Pie said while she, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Starlight, Trixie, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Spitfire, Fleetfoot and my mother Windy Whistles, were sitting at a large table sipping tea and cookies.
"Yes, I'm sorry for the delay" I said as I tucked a hoof behind my head.
"Oh do not worry about it Darling, sit down" Rarity said.
I nodded and sat down at a vacant table.
"Crash, did you leave Soarin alone at home with several other stallions? Are you sure that was a good idea?" Said Spitfire
"Oh trust me, Soarin has been very responsible with this sort of thing. I'm sure it's okay" I said.
"I hope" she said
We spent a lot of time talking about various subjects. Until it came from the personal memories of my friends.
"Here, Rainbow, I've brought some things you'll need for when the baby is born. You know? Diapers, talcum, blanket, etc...."
"Thank you Twilight, that means a lot" I said.
"My turn, look at that Rainbow. I made beautiful clothes for your foal, oh Darling your foal will look beautiful in that!" Rarity said
"Thank you Rarity"
"I brought some toys for your foal ... I hope this helps" said Fluttershy
"Thank you Fluttershy, certainly will"
"Look Sugarcubbe, I worked day and night to do it but I finally got it. Look I made a cradle for your foal" said Applejack pointing to the crib in the corner of the room.
"Oh Applejack did not need it, I really appreciate it ..." I said
"It was nothing Dash" she said.
"Now look at Rainbow, I have a great fun kit for baby colts and some Sugarcube Conner cookies, I hope you like it!" Said Pinkie Pie
"Thank you Pinkie" I said.
"Here Rainbow Dash Trixie and I know you're very fond of reading Daring Do so I got a special edition for you to read to your foals every night before bed" Starlight said, handing me a book
"Yes, and once again, congratulations on the foal" said Trixie.
"Thank you so much Starlight, Thank you Trixie" I said.
"This is a gift from the three of us to you Rainbow Dash, I hope you enjoy it" Scootaloo said as she, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle carried a big heart with several baby stuff and Mommy stuff.
"Thank you girls" I said.
"It was really hard to get this but in the end we got it here" Fleetfoot said as she and Spitfire handed me two Wonderbolt little clothes.
"Wow ..... That's amazing!" I said hello
"Yes, I hope you enjoy Crash" Spitfire said.
"I loved it, thank you Spitfire and Fleetfoot" I said.
"Here my dear, I've had this since you were born, I think it will now fit for your foals" my mother said as she handed me two small pairs of woolen shoes.
"Wow, you still have it?" I said
"Of course darling! I could never throw something from my little Dashie out, it would mean a lot to me and your father" she said.
I smiled and hugged her.
"Thank you Mommy" I said.
"Rainbow Dash? When will the foals really be born?" Asked Sweetie Belle
"In 2 months" I said as I began to rub my huge belly
"This is going to be really cool, I would never think that one day you would become a mother! I always thought you were too cool for these things" said Scootaloo
"Yes Scoots, but as they say, life is full of surprises, even good ones. Although I'm still a little nervous about this whole thing, I know it will be worth it after all. get those little ones here in my hooves" I said as I gently rubbed my stomach
______________________________________
2 months later....
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was sitting on the living room couch next to Soarin, and we were trying to decide names for the twins. I was now officially pregnant for 11 months, my stomach had already reached its full size, babies would only have a few weeks to be born. And I was still a little nervous about all this, of course this was going to be a big change in my life, but luckily Soarin is always there to support me, saying that everything would be all right.
"Well I think .... Raindrop Dash and Dash Junior would be great for our little girls" I said, rubbing my stomach on the couch softly.
"They're good names but .... I was thinking about Speedy Skies and Sora Dash" Soarin said
"They're great choices, too, but I prefer Dash Junior, that would be a great name for our little baby" I said.
"Dash Junior? Seriously Dashie?"
"Are you disagreeing with me?"
"Of course not sweetie..." he said with a shy smile
"Well, then we better think of other names" I said and Soarin nodded.
"How about .... Shooting Star Skies for one of the babies?" Soarin suggested
"I liked it, and for the other it could be .... Ragtag Dash?" I said and Soarin smiled.
"It's perfect" he said.
Then he approached me and also started rubbing my huge belly.
"I can not wait" he said.
"I did not either ..." I said
"They're going to be a beauty like Mother" he said.
I blushed a little at that.
"Hehe, but they're going to be just like their father" I said, stroking Soarin's cheek.
"I love you Dashie, I love you more than anything else in the world. You and the two babies you're carrying" he said kissing my head. I leaned closer to him and laid my head on his chest.
"I love you too Clipper" I said.
After that we spent the rest of the day snuggling with each other, rubbing my belly and talking to the colt.

Next day at Wonderbolt Academy....
(Soarin POV)
Today was practically the best day of my life, do you want to know why? So I'll tell you.
This morning, Rainbow Dash and I were at Wonderbolt headquarters discussing some things with Spitfire, when unexpectedly the thing that we least expected at that moment happened.
"So that's it Crash, in a few months you can be back in practice.In speaking on the subject, how are the babies?" Said Spitfire
"They're fine, soon enough Soarin and I will be busier than ever" Dash said as she began stroking her stomach gently.
"Yeah, oh now remembering we had a practice scheduled for now, right Spitfire?" I said
"Yes, are you ready? Dash can watch if you like" she said and we nodded.
With that we started to walk to the training ground.
______________________________________
(Rainbow Dash POV)
I was sitting on the bleachers watching Soarin and the other Wonderbolts. For a moment Soarin passed me, and I winked at him who happily returned it.
Suddenly a sharp pain came on my abdomen, and I began to cringe in pain.
"Argh! ...... ooooooo, argh!" I groaned
Soarin was the first to notice me in pain, so he quickly left the lineup and flew up to me.
"RAINBOW DASH! Are you okay?" He asked me in a worried tone.
"Argh! .... Soarin .... Babies ..... are coming .... Argh!"
His eyes widened the minute he heard me.
"WHAT?!" He said
Then the other Wonderbolts approached us with worried expressions.
"Crash, are you okay?" Fleetfoot asked
"Guys do not give you time to explain, she os about to give a birth! I need to get her to the hospital quickly!" Soarin said as he approached me and took me in his helmets.
"Well, I wish you both good luck" said Spitfire.
With that Soarin began to fly quickly towards the hospital Ponyville.
______________________________________
At Ponyville Hospital ...
(Soarin POV)
I burst into the hospital with Rainbow in my arms and ran to the front desk.
"Please, I need a doctor here! My wife is about to give birth!" I said desperately.
A doctor quickly walked up to me and said
"Oh all right sir, nurses fast! I need a stretcher to the delivery room here urgently!" The doctor said
______________________________________
"Shh, do not worry Dashie you'll be fine" I said trying to reassure Dash as she lay in the hospital bed.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Dash suddenly let out a scream so loud that the whole hospital could hear.
"Miss Dash, are you ready?" The doctor asked as he put a mask on his mouth.
Dash looked at me and I gave him a nod of approval, so she turned to the doctor and nodded.
"Very well, when I say three you begin to push with all your might" he said.
Dash nodded again and I leaned closer to her and held her helmet firmly.
"Okay, come on, 1,2,3 now Miss Dash!" The doctor said
With that Dash began to push with all his might and uttered a huge cry.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
"Okay, one more time Miss Dash"
"Argh! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
"Do not worry Dash if you need to take a break or need anything I-" I was cut by Dash
"No, I can do this!" She said in determination as she moaned and sweated heavily.
"Come on, Miss Dash! Once more I can see the head!" The doctor said. With that I began to push again with all my might.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" I screamed to a point that the first foal was out.
"Nurses help here!" The doctor shouted as he handed the colt to one of the nurses who took it to be cleaned.
"Almost there Miss Dash! Just a little more"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Dash let out a last scream until finally the second colt was out.
"Wwwwwwwaaaaaaa" a foal's crying was all Dash needed to have a smile on his face
"Congratulations, Mr and Mrs. Dash, you now have two beautiful and healthy fillies!" The doctor congratulated us as he handed the second colt to another nurse so he could be cleaned.
"You got Dashie, you brought two little miracles to the world! I'm the luckiest stallion of all!" I said as I leaned into Dash and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Yay ..."
______________________________________
After some time our friends and family came to give us congratulations and congratulations to a point where they had to leave and leave Dash and myself alone with our fats.
"Dashie .... They are beautiful" I said in admiration of my new daughters.
"Yes ..." Dash said weakly as he held the two filth in his arms.
The first filly was blue-baby, her mane was rainbow and her eyes were purple, we decided to call her the Ragtag Dash. The second filly was cyan blue, her mane was three shades of blue, and her eyes were blue, we decided to call it Shooting Star Skies.
They really were a beautiful sight for me and Dash, we could not be happier than at that moment.
"Wow ... Two fillies .... This is going to be a long way ..." Dash said firmly holding the two babies in their hooves.
"Yes, but together we can make it work smoothly" I said, looking at the trolls.
"I hope so ..." Dash said softly. Then the trolls looked up and smiled at their mother, their first smile.
"Hi girls, how are you? I'm your mommy and that's your daddy" Dash said, pointing at me.
I leaned closer to her and sat down next to her on the bed.
"Hey girls, I just want you to know that your mommy and I love you guys so much, and we're not going to let anything bad happen to you, let's protect you no matter what, do not worry" I said, stroking the twins's mane. who happily smiled at me and I returned the very happy smile.
After a while I lay down next to Dash with the twins in the middle of the two of us, and we just watched our fowls in silence. Until there came a point where Dash began to close his eyes falling into a deep sleep.
I smiled at her and kissed her gently on the head, after which I wrapped another blanket in the twins and they snuggled deeper into me and Dash as they slept.
"I love you three, more than anything else in this world.I will never abandon you or let anything happen to you" I said softly as I leaned down and kissed the twins and Dash on the forehead. After that I also started to close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep just thinking about what a new day could bring ....
______________________________________
(Soarin POV)
A few days later, Dash and I were released to go home with the twins, and we were still a bit unsafe with all of that, of course it was a big change in our lives, now we were the parents of two. But as always we were determined to go through any challenge, mainly because we had each other.
"Congratulations again, Mr. and Mrs. Dash, good luck in the lives of parents!" A doctor said at the hospital door as we went out with the twins in our helmets.
"Thank you" I said.
"Oh my gosh, I can finally fly again! You have no idea how difficult it was to be without flying for 9 whole months" Dash said as she held up Shooting Star. I was holding Ragtag and walking right next to her.
"Whoa, come on, Dash. You just had two babies, do not you think you should wait a little longer before you go back to your old routine?" I said looking at Dash.
She rolled her eyes and looked back at me.
"Oh come on, I've waited too long to be able to fly again, you know that! I'll be fine" she said.
"Yes Dashie I know, but I love you Dashie, and I could not bear to see something happening to you, you know I just want to keep you safe" I said as I leaned down and stroked Dash's cheek with his face.
"Soarin, I love you too, but please do not be so protective of me okay? Alias, I'm the hardest mare you've ever met, is it?" She said as she leaned over and kissed me on the cheek.
"Yes"
The twins then started laughing for some reason, then Dash leaned over and kissed the two babies on the forehead.
"Let's go home"
______________________________________
"Well, home sweet home" I said as Dash and I walked in with the babies.
"They must be hungry, Soarin you stay with them while I prepare their bottle" Rainbow said as she handed me Shooting Star, and I kept the two babies in their hooves.
"Okay sweetie" I said.
With that Dash began to walk towards the kitchen leaving me alone with the twins.
I had no idea what to do at the time, it was all too new for me and both for Dash, we had two babies biologically together, and that was indeed a big responsibility.
After a few minutes Dash returned with two bottles in her hoofs, after which she laid the twins on the couch and gave them the bottle.
"Wow they really were hungry" I said watching my daughters eat.
After a while the twins stopped sucking on their bottles, then Dash took them in their hooves and patted them lightly several times, which in turn gave them a slight burp.
"Ready, girls?" Dash asked looking at the twins, after a few minutes they began to cry.
"What happened?"
"I do not know, shhhhh calm girls, mommy and daddy are here shhhh" Dash said as she tried to calm the twins
"Maybe they have to change their diapers?" I suggested
"I'll take a look" Dash isse as she leaned over and took a look at the nipples of the twins.
"They really need a diaper change" she said.
"Okay, I'll change them" I said as I took the twins in my hooves and carried them into the bedroom to change them.
After a while I came back with the twins in my hooves.
"Ready, much better now" I said.
Dash nodded as she took Ragtag in her hoofs and began to swing her. I decided to follow the same example, so I got Shooting Star and started to swing it too.
Knock on the door
"Hello everypony! How are my new favorite parents?" Spitfire said as she walked into the house and approached me and Dash.
"Hi Spitty, how's it going?" I said
"Well, I just decided to stop by just to see the babies. Everybody at gym just talks about seeing them" she said.
"Maybe Soarin and I will not take them there to pay a visit?" Dash said
"That sounds great" Spitfire said.

The next months were great, but a little tiring. The twins really were difficult babies. But Soarin and I were always determined to go through any challenge, even if it was one of two hectic babies.
"Soarin, come here!" I called my husband from the bathroom.
"Yes Dashie?" He said as he entered the bathroom
"Here you get Ragtag while I bathe in Shooting Star" I said, handing Ragtag over to him.
He nodded and went to the twin room.
After a few minutes I finished bathing in Shooting Star, and took her into the room to change her.

"Come on, girls, it's time to eat" I said as Soarin and I tried putting the baby food in the twins' mouths.
"Nah!" They said they totally denied the food.
"Okay since you do not want the food, then Mommy and I are going to have to eat the whole chocolate cake after lunch" Soarin said.
With that the twins quickly spread their hooves so that Soarin and I would give them the food.
"Great!"

1 year later ...
The twins were now officially 1 year old, and Soarin and I were doing everything they could to teach them to talk.
"Come on girls, say Mommy" I said.
"Majjjkkk" they tried to say
"Okay, so tell Daddy" Soarin said.
"Paoollll" they tried to say again
"Oh heavens" I said.
"Well honey, we'd better get the twins to sleep, it's getting kind of late" Soarin said and I nodded.
______________________________________
Later that night ...
"Waaaaaaaaa!" A cry of two babies could be heard from the room where Soarin and I were sleeping.
I slowly opened my eyes and let out a huge yawn.
"Soarin we go, the twins need our attention" I said poking him.
He slowly opened his eyes and also let out a yawn.
"Okay...." he said.
______________________________________
We flew into the twins' bedroom, and they were trying to get out of the crib while they were crying.
"Papa ... mama ..." they said.
My eyes and those of Soarin widened. We were called mommy and daddy, and the twins said their first words.
When they saw us they quickly began to reach out to me and Soarin, begging for attention.
"Oh dears" I said, smiling as I took Ragtag in my hooves. Soarin followed my example and got Shooting Star.
"The way they finally said their first words" Soarin said

4 months later ...
Soarin and I were trying to teach the twins to crawl. It was being a bit difficult, because they'd rather just be charged.
"Come on Star, come to Mommy" I said trying to lead Shooting Star to me, while Soarin was trying to lead Ragtag to him.
"Let's Ragtag, come to daddy" Soarin said.
The twins tried to step forward but could not.
"Come on girls, do not give up" I said.
They tried again and finally managed to crawl to Soarin and me.
"I knew you could do it! It was awesome!" I said taking the twins in my arms and hugged them tightly.

(Rainbow Dash POV)
Life has been great over the years. And the twins were now five years old. They were getting upbeat for their first day of school, my little angels were growing too fast, it seems like it was yesterday that they were born.
Now I was sleeping peacefully in the room with Soarin, when suddenly two frogs flew up to our bed and began to jump over us.
"Mommy, Daddy, wake up, this is our first day of school!" they said at the same time
Soarin and I slowly opened our eyes and let out a huge yawn.
"It looks like someone's excited for the first day of class" Soarin said.
"Yes, Daddy we're much more than excited!" Shooting Star said
"Yes!" Said Ragtag
"You definitely have not inherited your mother's learning environment" Soarin said.
"What did you say, Mr. Soarin Skies? I think it's good that you take what you said in 3 seconds" I said in a low, dangerous voice.
"Relax, I was just kidding" he said as he leaned over and kissed the back of my head.
"Anyway ... Who's ready to go to school?" I said
They did not waste any more time.
_____________________________________
"Hurry up Mommy! Come on!" Ragtag said as she and Shooting Star pulled me by the tail to the door.
"Whoa, calm down girls! When I was your age, I did not have all this excitement to go to school ..." I said
"Wow, Mommy I do not think you knew what I was missing," Shooting Star said.
I nodded and led the twins to the breakfast table where Soarin was already seated having his breakfast.
"Mommy! I thought we were going to school!" Shocked Star grumbled
"Let's go, but first you need to have breakfast of yours. Believe me, empty-belly study is not cool" said Soarin.
"Ok daddy" Ragtag said.
After a few minutes we finally finished breakfast, and started flying toward the door.
______________________________________
"Bye mommy, Bye daddy!" Ragtag and Shooting Star said at the same time as they ran to the front door of the school.
"Hey girls wait, and hug to your parents?" Said Cheerilee
The twins nodded and ran to Soarin and me, and they gave us a big hug.
"We love you girls, have fun" I said.
After that they ran back to the front door, and entered the room with the other students.
"Wow, I've never seen two little fillies so excited to go to school" Said Cheerilee
"Neither do I" I said.
"Do not worry, they'll be fine" Cheerilee said.
"Thank you, I'm more relieved like this" I said.
______________________________________
At the end of the day...
"Hello girls!" I said while Soarin was standing in front of the school waiting for the twins.
"Mommy, Daddy!" They said as they flew to us.
"How was the first day of school?" Soarin asked
"It was incredible! We already made several friends, and Miss Cheerilee is incredible!" Shooting Star said
"I'm glad to hear that" I said.

(Soarin POV)
Today was the sixth birthday of the twins, it was hard for Dash to see that our little angels grew too fast.
Dash was at Sugarcubbe Conner with her friends setting up a surprise party for our daughters while I was distracting them, taking them to Wonderbolt headquarters.
"Wow, when I grow up, I want to be just like you, Mommy and the other Wonderbolts, Daddy" said Ragtag, admiring the Wonderbolts at headquarters.
"Yes, it would be so cool!" Shooting Star said
"One day you'll be girls" I said.
Suddenly Spitfire landed in front of us and walked over to the twins.
"Hey Clipper! Looks like today you brought the little Dashs to the office, did not you?" She said
I smiled and nodded.
"Yes, today is their birthday" I said.
"Oh really? Congratulations girls!" She said
"Thank you Mrs. Spitfire!" Ragtag and Shooting Star said at the same time.
"Well you want to know thirst? Your father and I can take you" Spitfire said.
"Really? Yay! But of course!" Shooting Star said
"Okay, come on then" I said.

"It's all perfect girls, thank you" I said as I watched the Sugarcubbe Conner decorated the themed birthday party Ragtag and Shooting Star, my babies.
They were growing so fast, it was hard for Soarin and I to accept that.
"No problems Rainbow Dash, Ragtag and Shooting Star deserve" said Applejack
"Yeah, did Rainbow really know when they'll come here?" Asked Twilight
"They must be coming with Soarin already" I said.
"Oh! I can not wait to start this party !!!" Said Pinkie Pie
"Quiet Darling!" Rarity said looking at Pinkie Pie with an unpleasant look.
"Six years, they grew up fast did not they?" Said Fluttershy
"Yes ... It's kind of hard for me and Soarin to accept that ..." I said just remembering the day the twins were born, and other memories of when they were very small.
After a few minutes Soarin came in with the twins and we all shouted "SURPRISE!"
"Ohhhhh a party for us? Oh thanks Everypony !!! Did you see Ragtag?" Shooting Star said
"Yes" Ragtag said.
"Congrats, my little angels!" I said leaning over to hug the twins.
"Thank you mommy!" They said
"Congratulations girls" said Twilight
"Oh I remember the day you were born, and now you're turning six" Rarity said, taking some tears from her eyes.
"Come on, it's party time!" Said Pinkie Pie starting to liven up the party with her party cannon
"Yay!"

Today was my parents's wedding anniversary day, and Shooting Star and I were preparing a big surprise for our parents.
"Let's Shooting Star, we need to clean up the house for Daddy and mommy's wedding anniversary," I said.
"Yes, and then we could decorate the whole house of love to complete, oh and we could also prepare a dinner for them! How romantic!" Shooting Star said
"Yes let's go!" I said as the two of us began to prepare everything for the time our parents came home.

(Shooting Star POV)
Finally it was time for our parents to come home, Ragtag and I were waiting excitedly at the door.
Finally the doorknob moved and our country entered the house.
"Hello girls! What do you-" my mother Rainbow Dash started
"Happy birthday to Mommy and Daddy!" Ragtag and I said at the same time.
"Oh thank you girls, and whoa! This house is flawless and so ... loving" my father Soarin said
"We made it especially for your birthday! We also had a wonderful dinner for you! Aunt Pinkie Pie helped us a bit with this but we did it!" I said
"Yeah, now Shooting Star and I are going upstairs while you guys enjoy your birthday! Come on Star" Ragtag said as we both flew to our room, leaving our parents alone.

"The girls did a good job here, did not they?" I said looking at my husband Soarin
"Yes, well, Miss, what do you think we took advantage of tonight?" "The girls worked so hard at it," Soarin said smiling.
Yes, I did.
After that we both leaned down for a long, passionate kiss. After a few minutes we finally let go for lack of air.
"You know, I sound like I could not have asked for a better family than this" I said, leaning into his chest and resting my head.
"Yes, I love you Dashie, I love you and our daughters, more than anything else in the world" he said.
"I also soar... oh and I have the thing to tell you" I said
"And what's sweetie?" He asked
"Now it's good to buy twice as much food because now I'm going to eat for two ..." I said
