Surprises
A light rain coated the ground outside as tan unicorn mare paced the floor nervously. “this can’t be happening,” she thought to herself as she held a small stick in her magic. “What will he think?” her mind raced as it played out scenarios that did not end well for her or her heart. “Breath, just breath,” She took a deep breath and set herself on the couch as she thought about the night he had come home from his last tour. “How? We have been nothing but careful,” She sighed as she laid back. She blew a stray strand of her red mane from in front of her green eyes as she scowled at the elongated stick that held two small pink horizontal bands on one side. “Maybe this stupide thing is broken,” she huffed as she moved off the couch and grabbed another test.
After a good ten minutes of waiting for the new stick to show the results her stomach was already in knots. Finally, she looked and spotted the two pink lines once again and with a groan she slumped to the floor. “I guess that’s it then,” she felt tears start to build up in the corner of her eyes. “W-what if he leaves me?” Her brain raced as her heart pounded in her chest. “W-what if he runs off with another mare?” She started to shake as nerves got the better of her. “What if he stops loving me?” Her breaths came out in quick breaths.
Her ears perked up as she heard the front door open and close before a voice called out.
“Honey, I’m home!”
That voice made her heart skip a beat, not in a good way as it normally did, but now in a frightened and terrify way. “Why are you home so early!” She collected herself and stood, staring at the large grey batpony that stood in the entrance way to their house, his green eyes shown with concern as he approached her.
“Lemon, you alright dear?” He reached out to her and placed his hoof on her shoulder as he studied her face. “Have you been crying?”
Lemon nodded and simply floated the two tests over to him using her magic. His eyes studied them, his eyes growing wider as his jaw nearly hit the floor.
“G-Gemini, I am so sorry,” she whimpered as she waited for his rage and anger to crash against her like waves in a turbulent sea.
“What are you sorry for?… This is great news!” He chuckled as he pulled her into his embrace.
“Wait, what?” Lemon looked up in confusion to see a rather dopey smile on her lover’s face.
“I am going to be a dad.” He said in a dreamy voice as he planted little kisses on his mare’s face.
Lemon sighed in relief and nuzzled into Gemini’s chest as her tears turn from those of worry to ones of joy. “I can’t believe I ever doubted him,” she giggled as she felt him kissing and nuzzling at her. “I definitely married the right stallion,” she moved her muzzle up to meet his and shared a long kiss with him.
“We should make sure this is true though!” exclaimed as he picked her up and headed towards their bedroom.
“G-Gem no!” She shrieked in laughter as a wide smile rested upon her face.
