Hubbyjack

Applejack expected many things at the end of the day. A home full of life, a grandmother busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, a younger sister either helping their grandmother, or doing her homework, and an older brother still in the field or stacking apples in the barn. These were comforting, normal things.

The pegasus on the couch was not one of those things.

Applejack glanced around, her ears perked. She could hear Apple Bloom and Granny Smith setting the table in the kitchen. Big Mcintosh was nowhere to be heard, but the stallion was as quiet as a mouse if he wanted to be. For all she knew, he could be right behind her. A quick glance confirmed that he, in fact, wasn’t.

She faced the couch once more, her eyes taking in the other mare in the room. The one who was pouting at her. Glaring, even.

"How’s it hangin’, Dash?"

"Meh."

"Meh?"

"Meh."

"Sounds terrible." Applejack chuckled. "Y’wanna talk about it?"

"Meh."

"Y’said that already."

"It still fits!"

"Oh, you’re speakin’ now? Thank Celestia!" Applejack said, raising her eyes to the sky in praise.

"Shut up." Rainbow glared, crossing her forelegs as she turned her head away. "This is all your fault anyway."

Applejack blinked. “Me? What’d I do?”

Rainbow’s glare turned back to Applejack. “Really, AJ?” She asked, pointing a hoof at her now swollen midsection.

"Oh. Right." Applejack’s ears flattened against her head and cleared her throat. "I thought you were okay with it now?"

"I was! Am! I-I dunno!"

Applejack quickly trotted over and sat next to the pegasus. “Darlin’, what’s wrong?” Applejack put a hoof on one of Dash’s as she remained silent. “Tell me, please?”

Rainbow stared back, holding Applejack’s gaze for a few moments before grunting and looking away. “I was talking to Twi about stuff, and then it shifted to the little guys,” she said, her free hoof caressing her stomach. “That’s all she talks about these days anyway.” Rainbow smirked. “You know how she is.”

Applejack chuckled. “Don’t we all.”

Rainbow grinned back, the first smile Applejack had seen since walking in. “Anyway, she starts nagging me about getting a checkup. She said it’s been five months and I hadn’t done one this month yet. Won’t shut up until I get one.”

"She try to follow ya to the hospital?"

Rainbow rolled her eyes. “Yup. Told her to sit her butt down. Flew to the hospital, and they had a free slot right then, so I got my checkup done.”

"Wait, that’s what got ya all in a tizzy?" Applejack’s eyes widened. "Did somethin’ happen? Is he alright?"

"She."

Applejack blinked. “She?”

"Filly. Pegasus, too." Rainbow grinned. "And she’s perfectly healthy."

Applejack frowned, her emotions warring between elation and confusion. “So why were you so grumpy?”

Rainbow snorted, once again glaring at Applejack. “They said I need to stop flying.”

Applejack guffawed. “That’s it?”

"Hey! This isn’t funny!"

"Dash, I’m surprised you were still flyin’. Didn’t Twi tell you to stop weeks ago?"

"I did!" Rainbow said. Her ears wilted as Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Okay, okay, I stopped most of my practicing months ago."

"Most?"

"The dangerous stuff. I’m just flying laps now. Gimme some credit here." Rainbow grumbled. "And now they’re taking that away too!"

Applejack shook her head. “You can still exercise on the ground, ya know. What’s the big deal?”

"Uh, my house is kinda in the sky, remember?"

"Oh. Right." Applejack blinked. "So live here for a spell."

Rainbow stared at her. “Just like that?”

Applejack grinned. “Just like that. You’re family now, hon. Grab some stuff from your place and come by tonight. Y’can sleep in my bed if ya want.”

"Hey, I don’t want to kick you out!"

"Who said you’d kick me out?" Applejack smirked, caressing Rainbow’s belly with a hoof. "I just want both my girls next to me."

Rainbow’s cheeks brightened as she scrunched her muzzle at the farmer. “Stop it.”

Applejack couldn’t wipe the smile from her face. “Stop what, Sugarcube?”

"That." Rainbow said as Applejack leant down to nuzzle Rainbow’s stomach."Stop that. It’s your fault I can’t fly, you don’t get to be so happy and cute."

"No can do."

Rainbow rolled her eyes. “I better be getting cider while I’m here.”

"No booze while pregnant, remember?" Applejack chuckled as Rainbow’s eyes twitched. "Tell ya what. I got some without alchohol in it. Will that do?"

"…Fine." Rainbow was silent a moment. "AJ?"

"Hm?"

"Thanks."

"Anytime, Sugarcube."

Got bored and decided to write a scene for this pic xD

“Please!”

  “No!”

  “Pleaaaaaaaaase!”

  “No!”

  “Pretty please with a cherry on top!”

  “I said no, Pinkie!”

  “Pretty please with an apple on top!”

  “No, dangit!”

  “Aw, c’mon!” the prancing pregnant pink pony pleaded. “You know you’ll like it!” Pinkie said, her eyes half lidded as she sidled up against Applejack. “I’ll make it feel real good!”

  “Wha-” Applejack sputtered, her face as red as her cutie mark. “That don’t matter! It don’t work that way!” She said, pulling her hat down over her face to hide her blush.

  “So why are we going to Twilight’s castle?”

  “So we can set ya straight!” Applejack growled, shoving the castle’s door open. “Twi? Darlin’, you there?”

  “Up here!” Twilight’s voice wafted down from the upper levels.

  Applejack rolled her eyes. “Where’s ‘here’?” She yelled back.

  “In the library!”

  “Right,” she mumbled, rolling her eyes again as the pair made their way up the stairs. “Stupid question.”

  Once they reached the library, Applejack’s expression instantly brightened as she spotted Twilight. The princess sat on a huge pile of pillows, smack in the middle of the room. Several bottles of water and plates with nutritious treats sat on a nearby desk, within easy reach of Twilight’s magic. Of the five, Twilight was the one taking the pregnancy most seriously, consulting every single book she could and taking every precaution equinely possible.

  But If Applejack had to guess, the pile of books next to Twilight were all related to pregnancy. Considering the stack was nearly as tall as Princess Celestia herself, maybe Rainbow’s complaints that Twilight was going too far were not that far fetched after all.

  That, however, wasn’t the reason for the visit. “Howdy, Twi, how ya-”

  “Twilight! You gotta help us! AJ needs her dick again!”

  As Twilight stared in silence, the only thing Applejack could do was sigh, pressing her face into a hoof.

  “Uh, sure, I guess? You should be careful though, AJ’s pretty big as a colt. You don’t want to hurt anything-”

  “No!” Applejack blurted. “Um. That ain’t what we’re here for, Twi.”

  “Aww.” Pinkie pouted, scurrying onto Twilight’s pile of pillows.

  “Really?” Twilight blinked. “What brings you here then?”

  “I want twins!” Pinkie nuzzled Twilight’s stomach, then pressed her ear to it as Twilight shifted uncomfortably.

  Applejack chuckled. “I reckon she’s a mite jealous o’ ya, darlin’.”

  “But that wasn’t my fault! I think? It’s not like I wanted twins!”

  Pinkie gasped, reeling back. “Y-you don’t want them?” She asked, tears forming at the edge of her eyes.

  “I didn’t say that!” Twilight shook her head. She reached a hoof to her stomach, rubbing it gently. “I wouldn’t trade these two for the world.” She glanced up at Pinkie, smiling gently. “I just didn’t plan on them.”

  “Ya know, I don’t think any of us planned on this.”

  “And we all know whose fault that is, don’t we?” Twilight said, grinning sweetly at Applejack.

  “Yours jus’ as much as mine, darlin’.”

  “…true. So this is about twins?” Twilight asked, raising an eyebrow as Pinkie nodded eagerly. “Why did you come here then?”

  “So you can give AJ a dick again and we can screw and she can put a second foal in me!”

  Twilight stared at the pink pony. “…um.”

  “I done told her it don’t work like that. But she won’t believe me!”

  “Right.” Twilight cleared her throat. “Well, Pinkie, it’s true that it doesn’t work like that-”

  “Noooooooo!” Pinkie crumpled on herself, hiding her face in her hooves as she flumped onto the pillows.

  “-I mean, you can’t do that during a pregnancy. It’s all just luck.”

  Pinkie peeked out from under her hooves. “So you got lucky?”

  Twilight ignored Applejack’s amused snort. “Kinda. either two eggs got fertilized at the same time, or one egg split into two after being fertilized. I don’t know yet.” She glared at her bulging stomach. “I just know that there’s two of them and that they’re rowdy.”

  “Like a true Apple, then.” Applejack grinned.

  “Not sure I’m looking forward to that.” Twilight said, sticking her tongue out at the farmer. She turned back to Pinkie, putting a hoof on her shoulder. “So no, I can’t help you now.”

  Pinkie nodded sadly. “No twins?”

  “Not yet, at least.”

  “Yet?” Pinkie repeated, blinking.

  “Well, there are ways of making sure you get twins, if you do it before the fertilization.” Twilight levitated a book into her hooves. “If you really want twins, then we just have to wait until you give birth-”

  “Yay!”

  “-and wait a few months to recover after that.”

  “Boo!”

  Twilight giggled. “You really want twins, don’t you?”

  “Applejack’s twins!”

  Twilight smiled again. “I’m sure Applejack will be happy to hear that. Aren’t you, Appleja-” Twilight blinked. The farmer had vanished. “Applejack? Where’d you go?”

  Down below, Spike scratched his head, wondering why Applejack had ran past, muttering ‘Nope Nope Nope’ repeatedly.

tchernobog:

“Uh, girls?”

  Silence.

  “Girls?”

  The silence stretched on.

  “Fluttershy? Pinkie?”

  Silence, with a faint hint of a giggle coming from one of the mares. Applejack had a sneaking suspicion she knew which one, too.

  Now, everypony knew that Applejack was a hard-working pony. She was dependable and strong, and tended to work throughout the day, with very little breaks in between. A big lunch with her family tended to be her only pit stop until the day’s chores were done.

  “C’mon. I know y’all ain’t sleepin’.”

  Sometimes, though, she did take fifteen minutes for a powernap. It left her refreshed, and ready to blaze through the rest of the day.

  Usually, though, she didn’t wake up with two pregnant mares snuggled up against her.

  As her pregnancy progressed Fluttershy had become, for lack of a better word, clingy. Applejack never truly minded, as she’d always liked the feeling of physical contact with another pony, especially a loved one like her family, or her five friends.

  Lately, however, the shy pegasus seemed to take every opportunity she could to press herself up against the larger earth pony. Often, Applejack would simply blink, or turn her head away, only to find a soft body pressed up against hers the next instant.

  Applejack didn’t mind it at all, if she was honest. But it sometimes made it hard to move.

  Especially when it gave Pinkie Pie ideas.

  Applejack didn’t know when they’d gotten there, or why the pair had even stopped by the Acres. Fluttershy had probably found her first. Pinkie, already a clingy pony before the pregnancy, had decided just joined the little snuggle pile because it looked fun.

  She couldn’t tell whether Fluttershy was asleep or not, and she was loath to wake her up. She strongly suspected Pinkie was awake, but pretending not to be, just to keep Applejack rooted in place. That giggle was probably hers.

  “Give it up, AJ, you’re not going anywhere.”

  Or maybe it belonged to the fourth pony in the barn. “I gots work to do…” Applejack mumbled, her eyes downcast.

  “Eh, one day isn’t gonna hurt much.” Rainbow shrugged, keeping her voice quiet. Her lips quirked upwards every few seconds, fighting to keep from laughing at the obviously beleaguered Applejack.

  The farmpony frowned at her friend. “Ya here fer a reason, or jus’ to make fun of me?”

  “Can’t I do both?” Rainbow grinned cheekily. “I saw them heading here and figured I’d check what they were up to.” She blushed as her stomach growled, and stared down at her swollen bulk. “And I think he’s hungry.”

  “He?”

  Rainbow shrugged again. “He, she. I dunno yet. Why, you wanna know?”

  “Kinda…”

  “Ha.” Rainbow chortled. “Your face says more than ‘kinda’.” She yawned, blinking at the unexpected motion. “I’ll ask Twi about it later.”

  “Thanks, Sugarcube.” Applejack smiled gratefully. She also raised an eyebrow. “Tired?”

  “No, just…” Rainbow started, trailing off at Applejack’s skeptical look. “He’s heavy, y’know?”

  Applejack smirked, and gently lifted a hoof to softly pat the ground, hoping she hadn’t disturbed the other two sleeping mares. “C’mon, there’s still room.”

  Rainbow frowned and opened her mouth to argue. Her eyes swept over Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, silently staring at the pair. She closed her mouth, quickly looked around her, then glared at Applejack as she trotted closer. “Don’t you tell anypony.”

  “My lips’re sealed,” Applejack replied, rolling her eyes. Rainbow settled down in front of her, curling up against Applejack’s chest, heaving a happy sigh as Applejack lay her head on her.

  A few minutes later, the pegasus was fast asleep.

  Applejack was just closing her eyes as she heard the noise. A set of heavy hooves approached the barn, until the door was shoved open. “AJ, we’re-”

  Applejack looked on helplessly as Big McIntosh paused to take in the sight before him. He nodded his head in understanding, gently closing the door behind him as he backed out. She heaved a sigh of relief, closing her eyes once more and drifting off into slumber.
