It has been three weeks since Tavi's heat ended, and I gotta tell you: it was glorious. The toys and lube Vinyl brought were amazing. Turns out that having a vibrating dildo in her ass makes the sex amazing. Then again, she did leave me with a dildo in my ass for four hours while she went to the days performance. That could have been a little less exciting... but at least I didn't get Priapism from it. I also started physical therapy, and I made the doctor collapse earlier today as a result. You see, they have these parallel bars set up to help people keep their balance while practicing to walk. The doctor and therapist positioned my chair at the end of the little walkway. I was in another chair and was told I could leave when I reached the other chair. So I walked, without assistance, the whole twenty feet of the course. I was exhausted afterwords, but damn it all I wanted to check on Tavi.

Lately, she has been experiencing some very...promising symptoms. After going through severe morning sickness this morning, she went to see the doctor to have some tests done. I am not oblivious to these kinds of things, I understand that she could be pregnant with my child. In fact, I'm very excited for her to be carrying my child. Then again, that leaves very little time for us to plan our wedding; of course that is only if she is pregnant. If not...well, we will have time to plan it. Just in case though, I am having Rarity make me a new tuxedo. I have tried to sit down and play the piano, but unfortunately I am too excited; my fingers dance, but no music flows forth. Nothing comes out but uncoordinated sounds. Too many emotions are swirling in my head to let me focus on playing.

Vinyl and Neon came by earlier, they had dropped off the plans for the wedding. Apparently Vinyl wants a September wedding, an interesting time for a wedding. That time of year is simply terrible for most things. Not to mention their son will be two months old at the time. I hope Vinyl understands just how much shit she will be going through. Neon however, seems to grasp that this is going to be rather hectic and has started taking care of just about everything. He even got one of Vinyl's friends from the DJ community to be there in case Vinyl is unable to DJ her own wedding like she wants to. He has a good head on his shoulders. He may not be the smartest, but he definitely has things somewhat organized.

In that way, he brings a nice balance to her. She is loud, active and spontaneous, but he is subtle, somewhat passive, and a lot more organized. He seems to always have something ready or a back-up plan. About a week ago Vinyl had tried to make dinner for them: she ended up destroying their stove instead. He had planned ahead and made a simple dinner using nothing but cold food. It wasn't something as simple as a salad either. Vinyl is definitely happy to have him at her side. After a long conversation, Neon had to leave to prepare the club they are working at for the light shows Vinyl wanted to go with her music.

When we were alone, she decided to tell me some things. She told me how, until her third date with Neon, she still held on to some hope that I would fall for her. She had also decided to give me a little competition, hoping to at least make me happy. She knew before I told her that my previous relationship was painful, but she wanted me to give it a try again. She figured after a while I wouldn't fall for her very easily, and then it happened: a friend of hers was also interested in me.

Vinyl was out on the town with Tavi when they started talking about up and coming music talent. Vinyl really started paying attention when Tavi started to make a description of one artist in particular. Vinyl noticed how similar the artist and herself appeared to be in terms of musical skill, style, and talents. When Tavi noted that it was a human artist she was talking about, Vinyl nearly lost it laughing in the streets. Vinyl actually took Tavi to her home to talk about this artist. Tavi nearly lost it when she saw the picture of the two of us on one of Vinyl's many stands. Tavi actually thought Vinyl and I were dating.

Vinyl wished it was true. She told me how Tavi went on for a while talking simply about the music I made. She had a bad taste of humans when a cellist had decided to retire. There were plenty who were invited, both human and pony. However most of the human musicians weren't up the to the standards of the orchestra. She was present, as the lead cellist, as each of them received the news that they had not been chosen. Most took it alright, downtrodden but alright. Some, however, went as far as to claim discrimination. One went even further and pretty much did everything short of physical assault.

This was part of the key difference of why she got stuck on me. I was far more laid back then them, not to mention I was definitely up the the orchestral standard. The other was the feel of my music. Most of the humans that would come and play held little to no emotion. They were certainly skillful, but they managed to do worse then most of the other players in the orchestra. When Tavi heard me play with Frequency that night, she became interested in me. She started to actually listen to a few things I had recorded with other groups. Most of the ones Vinyl listed were actually terrible groups, I needed to play them to pay my rent at the time, but at least she got to hear some of the better works. It was when she listened to one record in particular that she felt she had become smitten with me. It was the only record I ever made by myself, and only a few copies of it exist as I only managed to sell enough to pay back my loan and a little extra. I think I made a total of 2,000 copies. It was one of the best things I have ever made, and I only got the chance to make and sell it after Vinyl gave me some starting money about one month after we first met. I had a recording of what I had done at the time, just no way to afford making copies to sell.

The premises of the record were that I played every instrument for every piece in it. It took me a total of two months, working on and off, to finish it. It was one of the few things that I felt proud of. To hear that Tavi was one of the few that actually bought it, that just made me giddy with joy. It was even played for other members of the orchestra at one of their celebratory parties. It was then that Frederick had decided to give me my invitation personally. It was thanks to Tavi that I got my life together, got a job I love, and found love as well. And thanks to Vinyl it was possible for Tavi and I to meet like that. It made me happy to think that Vinyl cared for me enough to do this for me, truly I had made some good friends.

I hugged Vinyl at this point. Nothing could make me happier then how I felt at that moment. I had the love of not one, but two beautiful mares, both of whom have dragged my sorry ass out of the rut I was in. After what had seemed like hours Vinyl had to leave. She would soon be on maternity leave while she was pregnant, but she had one last thing to say.

She was planning on moving away. Canterlot is certainly an interesting place to raise a family. However, the schooling was among the worst if you couldn't afford a private school, and my recent 'luck' with criminal activities wasn't making things very safe. She was thinking of going back to her home town of Ponyville. I was relieved to know she was staying close, but I will miss talking with her on a daily basis.

I hear the door creak open, followed by hoofsteps: Tavi is home. She arrives with a few groceries in hand, nothing suspicious in them. Her face is unreadable as well. She calmly puts away the groceries, denying me the chance to help as she did. I could see tear marks on her dress. Either they were tears of joy, of sorrow, or both. As she finishes putting away the groceries she invites me to the bedroom. As we approach the bed Tavi helps me to sit on it before joining me. She then takes a breath and speaks.

"Well, he ran a few tests today."

"And, how did it go?" I say with both anxiousness and excitement in my voice.

"Well, before I get into it, let me prepare myself." She looks at me a moment before laying back. "I am pregnant with twins."

I immediately pounce on her, holding her close to me as a assault her with kisses. She laughs as she struggles to move me. She doesn't want me to stop, but she doesn't want me to smother her either. After a while I simply hold her against me thightly. She then says something that in all my life I never expected her to say.

"When the twins are born, and we get married, we are moving and we are quitting the orchestra."

Author's Notes:

Priapism: condition of an extended erection lasting more then four hours without proper stimulation. This can lead to the blood solidifying in the penis, which can lead to the penis breaking off with next to no force. This is why when a medicine says to go to a doctor for an erection lasting four hours you do it guys. (I am Higherbeach, giver and taker of boners!)
