(A few more months pass and Sugar Belle went to every single appointment the doctor made for her. Every visit went the same. He performed an ultra sound to check the fetal location, size and heartbeat, took a small blood sample to test her for lack of nutrition needed to maintain a healthy pregnancy; the whole ordeal. And despite all of the doctors worries, he was amazed at the results by the end of her 8th month)

Doctor: Ms. Belle, I can honestly say I have never seen this in all my years as a doctor and obstetrician; your baby seems to be perfectly healthy and growing fine.. There's no risk to your health, no sign of any abnormalities.. All in all, your baby actually seems very active and strong.

Sugar: That is wonderful to hear! Not that I'm surprised, I knew it would be just fine. *Smiling touching her belly* I just had a feeling.

Doctor: Well, mother's intuition usually knows best, I guess that's been proven. *chuckles a bit and puts away his file* Well, you're free to go for the day; You have a few more appointments coming up in the following months.. Just to make sure nothing happens later on into the pregnancy.. Despite it being a seemingly healthy pregnancy, I would be lying if I said the risk of being born premature wasn't still on the table.

Sugar: I am aware of that.

Doctor: I'm sure you are. *helps her off the exam table* Just remember not to strain yourself, don't overwork. Rest as much as possible, stay hydrated and take your vitamins. We need both of you to stay as healthy as possible, got it?

Sugar: Of course, Doctor! Thank you very much.

(Big Macintosh was sitting in the waiting room with Confetti Popper)

Mac: Popper, don't touch that.

Popper: But it's put in this room to look at publicly, right? *removes his hoof away from the display replica of the "miracle of birth" laughing at Big Mac* So that means they also knew what they were getting themselves into by putting this out within touching distance in a public waiting room!

Mac: *Raises an eyebrow at the colt and then ears twitch back, hearing Sugar Belle entering the room*

Popper: Mom! How did it go? *running up to his mom excited*

Sugar: The doctor says everything is fine still. It's perfectly healthy and quite active.. But I didn't need him to tell me that, haha. I feel this little one move every day.

Mac: *hugs Sugar Belle close, relieved every time he hears the baby is doing fine* Come on now, let's go back to the farm.

(Back at home, Sugar Belle decided to rest easy for the rest of the day, and sprawled out on the floor to relax)

Sugar: *smiling, she looks at her belly* My little miracle.. You grow big and strong, now, you hear? Your father and I are so excited to meet you… I don't care if you're a girl or a boy; I just hope you come out as perfect as I know you to already be.. There must be some form of guardian angel keeping watch over me and you, little one; and I know it'll help see us through to the end. We already love you~

(And little did Sugar Belle really know just how true that statement was, because right at that moment, Gala Blossom sat beside her smiling, as she did every day watching over them waiting for the day to come where she could finally meet her baby brother or sister face to face. [kind of])
