Chapter 6: Breaking the News

The next morning Pinkie Pie woke up to find Frosty sitting on the edge of her bed. She remembered what happened last night and was worried that he had started to regret what happened. After sitting up she put her hoof on his back, rubbing it slightly.

"Is everything okay muffin?" Pinkie asked quietly, making Frosty turn around to face her.

"I'm fine muffin, I just got up so I was trying to fully wake myself up" Frosty admitted, leaning back into Pinkie. He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before laying his head on her legs. Pinkie started to caress his mane as he laid on her lap, and he smiled up at her. Before long he had fallen asleep again, but just as he got comfortable Mrs Cake opened the door to call Pinkie for work.

"Pinkie it's time to-" Mrs Cake said, seeing the peaceful state the two ponies were, "Oh, nevermind. Pinkie, come down when you're ready"

"Ok Mrs Cake" Pinkie said sweetly as Mrs Cake shut the door to give the two of them privacy. Pinkie slowly shook Frosty, hoping to wake him up. After a few seconds his eyes opened, looking at her happily.

"What's up?" Frosty asked, still smiling happily at Pinkie.

"I have to get to work," Pinkie said sweetly, a hint of sadness in her voice because she was going to be away from him, "and shouldn't you go to work too?"

"Yeah, I guess..." Frosty said slowly as he sat up. The two of them got up and looked at each other longingly before making their way through their morning motions. Pinkie went for a shower and Frosty looked around for anything he might have brought with him. While Pinkie was in the shower Frosty left, but he did make sure to buy her a cupcake from the Cakes for her. When she finished her shower and went downstairs she saw the cupcake sitting on one of the tables with a note for her beside it.

Sorry, I had to go Pinkie, but I hope this cupcake will make up for it.

Love you,

Frosty

"Awww" Pinkie cooed before devouring the cupcake in one bite. When she turned around Mrs Cake was smiling at her sweetly, pretending to wipe her eyes.

"Ah, young love is so sweet" Mrs Cake said before heading back into the kitchen, "Before long there will be more foals running around this bakery"

"Uh, Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked carefully, wanting to tell Mrs Cake about what happened in Canterlot. Mrs Cake quickly turned back around, standing in the doorway to the kitchen.

"What is it cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked worriedly, knowing that something was bothering Pinkie from her tone of voice.

"You know how you said there would be more foals around here?" Pinkie asked as Mrs Cake led her too a chair. Mrs Cake quickly nodded as they sat down, rubbing Pinkie's back softly.

"When I was in Canterlot, I, uh, well..." Pinkie said as she started to loose her composure. How was she going to tell Mrs Cake about what happened? How would she explain that she raped a guard and got pregnant from it? What if Mrs Cake wanted to kick her out for it? What if-

"Is everything okay cupcake?" Mrs Cake asked, dabbing Pinkie's face with a napkin. She didn't even realize she had started crying as she thought about all the horrible things that could happen.

"I'm pregnant..." Pinkie admitted, covering her face with her hooves. After a few minutes of silence she felt Mrs Cake hug her, pulling her in close. Pinkie opened her eyes slowly, seeing Mrs Cake sobbing silently into Pinkie's shoulder.

"Mrs Cake?" Pinkie asked worriedly. Was Mrs Cake mad with her for getting pregnant?

"I'm so happy cupcake, congratulations" Mrs Cake said through her tears of joy. Pinkie smiled brightly and started to cry with Mrs Cake. Eventually Mr Cake came out of the kitchen to see what was holding the two mares up, and walked over quickly when he saw the two of them crying.

"Is everything okay?" Mr Cake asked worriedly, putting a hoof on each of the mares.

"Pinkie's pregnant!" Mrs Cake said happily, making Mr Cake freak out. When did this happen? Who's the father? How long has she been pregnant? When is the baby due? Will he have to kick her out? Is she going to go on maternity leave? How will he be able to make up for her missing days? What will she do with the baby? Will Pound and Pumpkin get along with the new baby? What will she call-

THUD

Mrs Cake and Pinkie looked up quickly to see Mr Cake sprawled out on the ground by one of the tables. The two mares laughed as Mr Cake got back to his feet, rubbing his head in pain before remembering what he was freaking out about. A few minutes later he hit another table, but this time he hit his head as he fell and knocked himself unconscious. Mrs Cake got up and walked over to the front desk, grabbing a pen and paper, while Pinkie went over to check on Mr Cake.

"Mrs Cake, I think he's going to be out for a while" Pinkie shouted, seeing a large bump growing on Mr Cake's head. Mrs Cake laughed loudly as she walked over to the door with a note and a small amount of tape. After she put the note on the front door she walked over, putting a hoof on Pinkie's back.

"I've taken care of it, don't worry" Mrs Cake said cheerfully, "Now let's get him upstairs". The two mares struggled to put Mr Cake on their backs so their could carry him upstairs. After some struggling they managed to make their way upstairs, but stopped when they heard a loud whine from outside, placing it as their regular morning costumers. They laughed as they laid Mr Cake in his bed, making their way to Pinkie's room to chat about her pregnancy. Their conversation was occasionally interrupted by loud cries of disappointment coming from outside because of the note Mrs Cake put on the door.
