Chapter 13: Sea Of Love

2 MONTHS UNTIL DUE DATE

It was two weeks after the wedding between Big Mac and Rainbow Dash and, after talking about it for a while, the pegasus was finally moving into Sweet Apple Acres. The idea was originally Rainbow Dash’s, who believed that it would be best to not only move in with her now husband, but also to help care for her child after it’s born.

“Well, that’s the last box,” Big Mac said as he placed the cardboard box on the floor of Rainbow’s new room.

“Thanks for bringing all of my junk here,” the pegasus spoke with a smile.

“Think nothin’ of it, Rainbow, yer family now. Besides, we ain’t gonna have ya do anythin’ with ya still lookin’ like that,” Applejack used her hoof to point at Rainbow Dash’s belly. It had grown slightly since the wedding.

Dash laughed, “Yeah, kinda stinks I can’t even lend ya a hoof though.”

“Well, we’ll certainly lend ya a hoof tomorra with settin’ up yer new livin’ space. It’s gettin’ a bit late, so ah’m gonna turn in,” Applejack waved her hoof as she exited the room.

“Ah think ah’m gonna do the same,” Big Mac stated as he was about to turn around. However, a hoof reached out to stop him. He turned to see Rainbow had gotten closer to him and stopped him.

“Please don’t go….not yet….” she softly spoke.

Big Mac obeyed the instructions, but he was puzzled of why.

Dash trotted to the door and closed it, leaving only the two ponies in her new room. Big Mac watched as Rainbow moved from the door, passing the wooden dresser and finally reaching her bed. She hopped up onto the bed, sitting down with her bottom legs dangling off of the side.

She spoke up again, “Sit.”

Big Mac did as he was told, sitting closer to the end of the small bed.

Aside from the springs in the mattress making a few noises, the room was calm and quiet. The stallion looked at Rainbow to find that she was staring straight down at the floorboards directly below her dangling hooves. Due to her mane, he couldn’t see her face.

Suddenly, Dash’s body came alive as she wrapped her hooves around Big Mac, holding on to him tightly. Caught off guard, Big Mac fell backwards onto the bed as he let out a yelp of surprise.

Rainbow Dash found his reaction amusing. Still holding on to him, she laughed, “Heh, sorry, wasn’t expecting you would do that, big red.”

The stallion was still a little shook up, “I-It’s quite alright….uh, may ah ask what that was for?”

“Well, it’s simple really. It’s because I love you, ya big idiot.”

“Ah….don’t really follow,” Big Mac was puzzled.

“Do I have to spell it out for you? I mean, it’s obvious that we love each other, but the more I think about it, I realize just how much you mean to me.” A few tears started to form in Rainbow’s eyes as she pulled herself closer to Big Mac. The tone of her voice, however, was happy, “You mean the whole world of Equestria to me…..heck, you mean more than that to me. Even when I was completely stupid you stuck by me for reasons I can’t even begin to imagine why.”

Big Mac replied, “Well, it’s because ah love ya.”

"Is that the belief of 'true love' or whatever those ponies call it?" the pegasus asked, giving a small laugh, "Do you honestly think that two ponies have a love that can last forever?"

The stallion smiled, "Ah hope....no, ah know so."

Rainbow shook her head and continued. Her voice seemed to have a warm and loving tone to it, along with a bit of a laugh, "Even with somepony like me? Please, I’m such a stubborn mule and act like I know everything, not listening to anypony. But you still were right there beside me, even when I pushed you away. For the life of me, I can’t think of what made me think that way or why in Celestia's name you would stay by my side through all of it. I just don't get it”

Placing a hoof on top of her mane, Big Mac lightly patted Rainbow Dash, “Because ah love ya that much.”

Dash smiled slightly, “Heh, ya know, I always wondered what would happen if I just broken down in front of you, telling ya how I feel and even cry. Never would of thought that it would make me feel so relieved. And I never thought you’d accept me.”

“Of course, ah would.”

Letting go of the stallion, Rainbow Dash sat up in her bed and allowed Big Mac to do the same. “Can I be honest about something?”

Big Mac nodded as he repositioned himself.

“Well….I still don’t remember that night when….well, you know what happened, but I can say that I do not regret what happened.”

“Beg pardon?”

Dash nodded, “I know that sounds stupid with how things have turned out since then. But despite the fighting, the way I treated ya, and of course the baby, I don’t have a single regret about it, because I have finally been honest with myself. Honest with myself and others. And while I know I was smashed, but I know me. If I really did sleep with you, it's because I love you, big red. And I still do.”

“Do ya really mean all of that?”

With a smile and a few tears in her eyes, Rainbow nodded again, “Yes. I don’t think you realized that you kinda stole my heart, big red. And even when I showed you the ugly parts of me, you still felt the same way about me. It was then I realized how much I loved you, Big Mac.”

Big Mac simply smiled at Rainbow Dash as she finished her confession.

“Haha, I feel like such a chump for being all sappy like that….” Rainbow’s face turned red as she looked away from Big Mac, brushing the tears out of her eyes.

The stallion shared in the laugh as well, giving a warm smile to the pegasus, “Ah found it ta be quite beautiful, Rainbow Dash.”

Rainbow Dash silently blushed at his comment and bashfully smiled. After a few moments of stillness, the pegasus took one of Big Mac’s front hooves in hers and placed it on her belly. The red pony was a little surprised by what his hoof was feeling. Rainbow continued to hold the stallion’s hoof to her body. A content expression was on her face as they both felt the child move.

“This is our baby,” Rainbow said quietly with a smile.

Overcome with emotion, Big Mac felt the child inside move slightly. The joy he felt was indescribable, and it caused his hoof to tremble as he continued to touch Rainbow’s belly. However, the pegasus’s hooves were there to comfort the red pony.

Big Mac was struggling to speak, “D-Do ya know the gender?”

Rainbow shook her head, “I want it to be a surprise. I figured it would be better that way, for both of us.”

The stallion smiled at her statement.

Looking down at her belly and the hooves that were pressed against her, she smiled again. A small nudge was felt by the two of them from inside, surprising them both. “Heh heh,” Rainbow lightly chuckled, “the little squirt is energetic.”

Big Mac looked at Dash and smiled tenderly. Rainbow couldn’t help but bashfully smile back at the stallion, her face becoming flushed the longer she looked at him.

For a few moments that each seemed to last an eternity, the two ponies sat on Rainbow Dash’s bed with a hoof on her belly, feeling the minor movements that their child was making.

In a hushed tone, the pegasus began to softly sing, “Come with me, my love, to the sea. The sea of love. I want to tell you, how much I love you.”
"She think she's missed the train to Mars,/She's out back counting stars." -Hum, 'Stars'
