It has been three months since Applejack had gotten pregnant, and things had been going okay. Rainbow Dash and Mac had come out about their relationship, and Soarin and Applejack had started officially dating. Granny Smith would occasionally pester Soarin to pop the question, but every time he brought it up with Applejack she always told him to wait. She wasn't exactly ready to commit herself completely, she wanted to make sure that Soarin was the stallion for her, and didn't want to jump into a marriage with him just because he got her pregnant.

Today was Applejack's three month check up with Doctor Stable, but Rainbow was taking her instead of Soarin. He tried to tell Rainbow she didn't need to do it, but she forced him to let her go. Applejack couldn't care less, she knew it wouldn't have mattered who took her, until Rainbow said she wanted to talk to Doctor Stable about something. That worried Applejack since Rainbow looked physically okay, and there was only one other reason why she'd have to talk with Doctor Stable.

"Good morning Ms. Apple, Ms. Dash" Doctor Stable said as he walked up next to the two mares while they were walking up the road to the hospital. He had booked Applejack first thing in the morning so she didn't have to go through the regular everyday traffic of Ponyville.

"Mornin' Doc" Applejack said happily, she liked talking to the Doctor, his happy disposition always managed to brighten her day.

"Soarin busy today?" Stable asked politely. Applejack knew him and Soarin would crack jokes while Applejack was scanned, and other the past three months the two of them had become best friends. She decided it was just male bonding at work, but Soarin was probably talking about weird things behind her back.

"No, I came because I, uh..." Rainbow trailed off as she pulled away from Applejack, "Need to talk to you about something"

"Ah, are there more apples growing on the tree?" Stable said cheerfully, yelping quietly as Rainbow punched him in the shoulder. Applejack laughed, her hyper sensitive hearing gave her a hint at why Rainbow was coming along, and she knew what was going on.

"Am I going to have a wedding buddy?" Applejack laughed, making Rainbow turn around quickly, cursing under her breath.

"Damn you and your sensitive hearing" Rainbow muttered angrily as she went back to her place beside Applejack.

"I heard that" Applejack said with a smile, both her and Doctor Stable bursting out into laughter as Rainbow cursed again, picking up her pace out of anger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well Ms. Apple, it looks as if everything is going well, but we can't tell their race at this time" Doctor Stable said as he flipped through Applejack's chart, ignoring Applejack's gaping mouth for an entire minute.

"Something wrong Ms. Apple?"

"Did you just say 'their' race?" Applejack said slowly, making sure she heard him right.

"Oh did I forget to mention that?" Doctor Stable said as he put the chart down on his desk, "You're having twin girls!"

"WHAT?!" Applejack shouted, not being prepared for twins. How was she going to take care of them both? Was she going to be able to give birth to both of them safely? Were they both going to be okay? Doctor Stable noticed Applejack's worried look and reached across his desk to put his hoof on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, they are both doing fine, just keep doing what you have and everything will be okay" Doctor Stable said in a calming tone, making Applejack calm down. She continued to breath heavily for a few seconds before letting out a loud sigh. Everything was good so far, and with her extremely attentive partner she knew there was no way anything could endanger her babies.

"Thanks Doc" Applejack said as she got up, moving her hoof along the wall to find the door to the lobby. After a few minutes she found her way to the lobby and told Rainbow it was her turn to see Doctor Stable. Within twenty minutes she heard Rainbow shouting in anguish from inside Doctor Stable's office.

"NO, NO, NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" Rainbow cried as she ran out of the office, slamming the door open and pushing ponies out of her way as she ran to pull Applejack out of the hospital. When she got a hold of Applejack's hoof she pulled her out of the hospital as fast as she could, nearly dragging her along the ground before she took off, carrying Applejack from below.

"WHAT'S WRONG?" Applejack shouted, trying to be heard over the wind as Rainbow flew as fast as she could.

"HE SAID THAT I WAS PREGNANT!" Rainbow cried back, tears starting to fall from her face. Applejack wasn't sure why Rainbow was so opposed to being pregnant, until she remembered a conversation they had with their friends after Applejack's pregnancy began public...

"Oh I could never become pregnant at my age" Rarity said as she took a sip from her tea cup, "It would just get it the way of my business"

"But what if it was with somepony you loved?" Fluttershy asked timidly.

"I would take necessary precautions to make sure I don't get pregnant after we have our fun" Rarity said as she poured herself another cup of tea while looking at Applejack disapprovingly, "Like some mares should have done"

"Rarity, don't act that way" Twilight said angrily, noticing the way Rarity threw Applejack out into the open.

"Well how would you feel it that happened to you Twilight?" Rarity asked angrily.

"I would make sure the baby grows well and then raise it properly" Twilight said calmly as she pulled out five books from the shelves around her about pony pregnancy, making Rarity roll her eyes.

"What about the rest of you?" Twilight asked as she put the books back.

"Oh, uh, I don't know..." Fluttershy said quietly, barely audible to anypony other than Applejack.

"I'd probably feed it lots of cupcakes and muffins!" Pinkie shouted happily, bouncing around the library as she started listing off her favourite desserts.

"How about you Rainbow?" Applejack asked with a smile, looking in the direction that she heard wing flaps coming from.

"I'd never be able to survive being pregnant, I'd probably do something reckless and mess it up" Rainbow said honestly, "But I don't think I'll get pregnant anytime soon anyways, it'd mean I'd never be able to be a Wonderbolt if I got pregnant!

"Rainbow, are you okay?" Applejack asked softly as Rainbow began to land near Sweet Apple Acres, tears flowing down her face.

"How will I become a Wonderbolt now?!" Rainbow cried, getting both Soarin and Big Mac's attention from their respective places on the farm, "They won't accept a pregnant mare!"

"Pregnant?" Big Mac asked slowly as he got withing ear shot of the two mares, making Rainbow gasp.

"Mac, I'm so, so, so, sorry!" Rainbow said quickly as she ran over to Mac, throwing herself against him. She cried into his chest until he pulled her off of him.

"Rainbow, it's okay, I'm happy for us" Mac said sweetly, pulling Rainbow into a deep hug, making her gasp loudly. Soarin had just landed next to Applejack, just in time to see Rainbow break down into tears. With her being pregnant her life long goal of being a Wonderbolt being taken away from her by her own stupidity.

"What's going on?" Soarin asked quietly as he leaned in towards Applejack.

"Rainbow's pregnant" Applejack whispered back, "but I have something bigger to tell you"

"What is it?" Soarin asked quickly, afraid that she had news that the babies weren't okay.

"We're having twins" Applejack said, tears forming in her eyes as she reached forward to hug Soarin. He accepted her hug and sat down with her, hugging her tightly. After a few seconds the news hit him and he started to cry softly, gaining the attention of the other couple, which had just broken apart.

"What's goin' on?" Big Mac asked as he walked over.

"It's twins!" Soarin shouted happily, and very soon after Big Mac and Rainbow joined in on their hug, all four of them crying in happiness. Not only were both Applejack and Rainbow Dash pregnant, but they going to bring three more Apples into the world. After a few minutes Granny Smith came outside to see what the commotion was, and when she heard the news she joined in on the hug as well, smiling happily.

"What's goin' on?" Applebloom asked when she came up the road with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, coming across a giant pile of ponies crying happily.

"I'm having twins!" Applejack cried, making Applebloom and Sweetie Belle run into the group as well, smiling happily.

"And I'm pregnant!" Rainbow shouted afterwards, inviting Scootaloo to join in on the mass hug that was going on in the path up to Sweet Apple Acres. After what seemed like hours the group broke apart, all of their cheeks hurting from smiling for so long. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had to quickly say goodbye because it was so late when they broke apart, and they ran home together, still smiling happily.

"So what happens now?" Applebloom asked innocently, making both couples look at each other in confusion. They hadn't thought about that, and hadn't come to a decision yet.

"We, don't, know..." the four ponies said slowly together, looking at each other worriedly. Well, Applejack just turned her head in the general direction of where Soarin was, but the point was still the same, what were they going to do now?

"Am I going to have to get the shotgun?" Granny said flatly, making everypony turn to her in confusion.

"What's a shotgun, and why do you need it?" Soarin, Rainbow and Applebloom asked together, not familiar with the idea of a shotgun.

"She means that if we don't figure it out soon she's going to make us get married" Big Mac said quietly.

"How is she going to do that?" Rainbow asked in confusion, not seeing how a frail old mare like Granny Smith could make anypony get married.

"A shotgun is a weapon, she's going to point it at Soarin and Big Mac and make them marry us if we don't  decide this on out own" Applejack said as she turned her heard in Rainbow's general direction.

"Oh, dear..." Soarin said slowly before turning to face Big Mac, "Want to go ring shopping tomorrow?"

"Eeyup!"
