Chapter 11: Pie +1

Pinkie felt like her body was ripping apart as the doctors told her to spread her hind legs. A few of the nurses had run out to get the necessary equipment for the birthing, and in the meantime the doctors were quickly attempting to stabilize Pinkie as her heart rate became erratic. As the labor started to really get going Pinkie could feel her heartbeat going crazy in her chest, and combined with the ripping feeling from her lower body.

"Pinkie, are you okay?!" one of the doctors shouted from her lower body, trying to get her to respond. Pinkie attempted to try and reply, but her vision started to get hazy and stars began to appear in her peripheral vision. One of the nurses saw Pinkie's eyes start to roll back into her head from the pain and stepped up to her, pulling her head forward so she would come back completely. As Pinkie came back she heard one of the doctors shout at her to push, and without even thinking she did as he asked. The pain began to increase as she pushed, the doctor's voice becoming muffled and hard to understand as it went on. Eventually she felt a extremely sharp pain coming from her lower body, and for a split second she felt as if her body was actually ripping apart, and then, nothing...

Pinkie slowly lifted her head up, trying to see what was going on, being confused as to why the pain had just suddenly stopped and now her lower body felt numb. She looked around slowly, watching as all of the nurses and doctors began to huddle around the end of her hospital bed.

"What's going on...?" Pinkie asked slowly, her voice coming out very hoarse and tired. One of the younger nurses looked away from the group and saw Pinkie looking around in confusion, her eyes extremely distant and blank.

"You just had your foal Miss Pie" the nurse said happily, sounding slightly tired from the work she had to do in helping the doctors. One of the doctors turned around soon after to come and talk to Pinkie while the nurses began to clean the foal off and the other doctors left.

"Miss Pie, the foal is healthy, but it is a very early birth, so we will need to watch it closely" the doctor said, putting a hoof on hers, "You did a great job"

"Is it okay, why isn't it crying?" Pinkie asked, remembering Mrs Cake stories about the twins' birth, knowing that foals usually come out and start to cry as soon as they were out. The doctor quickly ran over to the nurses and checked on the foal, making Pinkie's mind start to race at a thousand miles a minute. Was the foal not normal, was it dead, was it-

"There we go!" the doctor said loudly as the foal began to cry, making Pinkie's thoughts stop dead in their tracks, quickly being replaced with thoughts of what the foal looked like, how it was doing, and how closely she could hug it when they passed it to her. After a few seconds one of the nurses carried a small bundle over to her, and when she handed the foal to her it began to squirm.

"Hey there little filly..." Pinkie said happily as she raised her hoof up to the foal, which it took happily and began to suck on it. All of the nurses in the room sighed happily as they watched the filly suck on Pinkie's hoof, Pinkie's happy smile being contagious. As she continued to watch her foal the door opened, and in came everypony that had been there earlier when she had woken up came through, as well as one new visitor.

"Discord?!" Pinkie shouted happily as the thousand year old god slipped through the door, a happy smile on his face. He stepped up to the bedside and gave Pinkie a kiss on the forehead before turning to the foal.

"She has her mother's eyes..." Discord said happily as he put a finger near the foal, which she tried to grab out of interest. He laughed happily as the foal shoved the finger into it's mouth, gumming it happily. Everypony in the room cooed happily as they watched what was happening, the heart warming scene making even the old god of chaos seem like the sweetest thing in the world.

"And she has her father's horn" Pinkie said with a smile as she looked at the goat horn that was on the filly's head. Discord smiled happily and leaned down, kissing the little filly on it's horn, getting another round of coos from the ponies in the room. While everyone recovered from the cuteness the doctor came up to the other side of the bed.

"Have you thought of a name?" the doctor asked, holding a clipboard next to him with his magic. Pinkie and Discord looked at each other, and with a smile and a nod they turned back to the doctor.

"Surprise" they both said, getting a smile from the doctor as he wrote the name down on the paper. Once he had the form filled out he left, taking all of the nurses with him, allowing the ponies that had arrived for Pinkie to crowd around her bed.

"It's so cute" Mrs Cake said as she watched the filly trying to grab Pinkie's puffy mane.

"It's going to be a great flier" Rainbow said as she saw the filly's wings move under the blanket it was wrapped up in.

"I can teach it how to use magic!" Twilight said happily, her head filling with thoughts of teaching the filly to lift things with magic, and how to use magic to do some amazing things. The rest of the ponies simply stared at her, happy smiles on her face, and then Pinkie looked up to Discord again.

"It's our little Surprise..." Discord said happily as the filly continued to squirm, now trying to grab his beard.

"Yeah..." Pinkie said slowly as she looked back down at the filly, "Our little Surprise..."
