Fluttershy: Oh, Annie!!!! I'm so, so, so happy for the both of you! I can't believe you're going to be parents! And I'm going to be a grandma!

Annie: I know! We're so excited! Oh, I'm so scared though! I don't know what to expect

Fluttershy: Did you tell Rarity about the news yet? Maybe you could tell her and ask her for some advice while you're there. She's had two dragon babies after all

Annie: Oh that's a good idea! C'mon, T!

T: Okay

head to Carousel Boutique

Annie: Hello? Mom?

Rarity: Anthea, darling? Is that you? Come in! Oh, T, you're here as well! Wonderful!

T: Hi mom. Oh, hey Claire

Claire: Hello, you two

Annie: Are you guys working on a project together?

Rarity: Why yes we are! My designs are being featured in a magazine and I needed to find some jewelry to go with each outfit. And, well, who could possibly do the job better than my lovely daughter

Annie: Sounds like a good idea to me

Rarity: So what can we do for you? Did you need something?

Annie: Well, me and T wanted to ask you something but we have to tell you something first…

Rarity: Okay… go on…

Annie: nods at T

Annie and T: We're having a foal!

Rarity: AAAAAAHHHHH! Oh my goodness! Congratulations you two! I'm so happy!

Claire: Congrats!

Annie: Thanks!

Rarity: Oh, now we're going to have to plan a baby shower! And I can start making some baby clothes! Oh, and of course you're going to need some maternity wear!

Annie: giggles Naturally! But we still have plenty time

Rarity: Right, right. Sorry, I'm just so excited! I simply can NOT wait to be a grandmother! I might've been sooner if ehem Crystal Clarity and her coltfriend would get married

Claire: rolls eyes Pssh

Rarity: You said you had to ask something?

Annie: Oh yes! Um, well, I was wondering if you could just tell me what to expect from this whole pregnancy thing. I would've asked my mom but I can't for obvious reasons. Plus, you're probably the only mare in Equestria who's given birth to dragon-pony hybrids

Rarity: Well, you are most certainly right about that! So what would you like to know, darling?

Annie: Anything and everything! I want to be as prepared as I can!

Rarity: Hmmm…. Let's see, where do I even start? Well, the beginning was very easy. All I can recall is the occasional morning sickness…

Annie: Okay, that sounds about right

Rarity: Mmhm. Then those cravings begin to kick in as well. I suppose I got the same cravings that most mares would get. You know the whole cucumbers and ice cream deal. But then I'd always this strange urge to try the gems that I was working with… I never had one obviously

Claire: Pfft, I saw you lick one once while you were pregnant with T.

Rarity: ONCE, Claire. Besides, they were cravings! Very hard to control!

Annie: Sounds more or less like a regular pregnancy

Rarity: Oh, sweetie, that was only the first couple months or so. Things got CRAZY no later than halfway through

Annie: O-oh yeah?

Rarity: Of course! Both Claire and T's grubby little claws began growing in during that time and they were completely restless in there! It was like they were clawing me from the inside out! Oh, how I'd toss and turn every night while the kicked around. They were also considerably bigger than regular foals so it was absolute torture on my back when I tried getting around anywhere. Ugh and Spike! If T inherited any of his father's dragon instinct, he'll be bringing you random junk throughout the day and hoarding things for you. It's a lovely gesture but cleaning it all up is NOT fun. Plus he probably won't let anypony, no matter how trustworthy, come anywhere near you! That was especially a pain when the doctor would try to do his job. Spike scared the doctor away when I was in labor the first time. And oh, LABOR! Absolutely dreadful! By far the most pain I'd ever been in my entire life! Especially with T! I swear to Celestia, I thought I was going to DIE! And it doesn't stop after they're born. Nononono. Trying to figure out their bizarre eating habits and all their strange instincts. Nursing was the worst with their little baby dragon teeth! Oh, I tried bottles, but they would either never drink from them or finish them off too quickly and want "muh". I couldn't let them starve so what else was I supposed to do? Ugh, and disciplining them! Or… Claire at least was so difficult! She'd destroy everything and wouldn't respond to scolding. No, I had to roar at her! sighs………………………. But other than that, it was a very rewarding experience! Now I have two wonderful and talented children smiles

silence

Annie: U-um……………..

Claire: Good going mom, you broke her. Jeeze, and you wonder why I don't want children
