private A vacation in Paris!

Jack returned to Charcoal who was lying in bed still crying. "Are you okay? What's the matter? Was it when I mentioned she-who-shall-not-be-named?" Jack lied down beside her. "Just calm down. Take a deep breath and tell good ol' Jack what happened. Is that alright with you?"

"I... I don't know." Charcoal whispered. "I just feel very emotional right now. Even more so than when I was in heat. And now that I think about it, those sandwiches are not something I've ever had before. Oh, what is happening now? Why am I craving strange food combinations and being so emotional?"

"I... I don't know." Charcoal whispered. "I just feel very emotional right now. Even more so than when I was in heat. And now that I think about it, those sandwiches are not something I've ever had before. Oh, what is happening now? Why am I craving strange food combinations and being so emotional?"

"I don't know Charcoal. What do you think I am? A doctor?" 'Jack.' What now? 'I think I know what's happening. 'I don't think you want to know.' Just tell me. 'Strange food cravings, mood swings. I think she'll be expecting.' Expecting what? 'Expecting.' Jacks eyes widened. His mouth fell open. "Ch-Charcoal... I think I kn-know what's h-happening."

Charcoal looks up at Jack is slight surprise. "W-what is it Jack? What do you think is happening to me?" Charcoal asks. She really didn't have a clue. 'Really, you haven't figured it out yet? Dang, you must really be out of it then.' Well if you're so smart then why don't you tell me? 'I want to see if Jack really has it right with this.'

Jack sat down slowly. He sighed. "How could this happen? I thought we were more careful." Jack rested his head on his hoof. "Charcoal. Everything that has happened this evening proves one thing. I think you'll be expecting, Charcoal." Jack paused "Expecting."

Charcoals eyes widen in shock. "WHAT?! I... how... how did... is it..." Charcoal couldn't bring herself to form a complete sentence. 'Hey, calm down. It isn't that big of a deal.' Don't you dare tell me it isn't that big of a deal it is a huge deal! Charcoal found herself curling herself into a ball, rocking back and forth, and whimpering.

'Didn't you use protection?!' It happened all so fast! 'Yeah, nice excuse bucko!' Jack saw Charcoal freaking out. He wanted to do the same thing, but something told him that he needed to be strong. Thanks 'No problem' Jack lied down beside Charcoal. "It's okay. Jack is here." he put his arms around her in an attempt to comfort her.

Charcoal felt arms wrap around her but she didn't loom to see who's it was. She was too busy freaking out at what was happening. She wasn't ready to take care of a foal of her own. She didn't want to have to go through the months of labor she was forced through.

Jack didn't want to freak Charcoal more, so he just kept holding her like he was. "Listen we need to be strong. We are adults. We can handle this, right?" Jack waited a few seconds. "Who am I kidding? I'd make a terrible father. I love alcohol, gambling. And my hometown hates me. I don't even have money for colt support."

That just made Charcoal feel even worse. She tightened herself up even more. She started taking fast shallow breaths, was this hyperventalation? She couldn't control herself anymore she completely broke this time. She started bawling, mumbling, and continued to take those fast shallow breaths.

Jack started crying himself. "I mean. I've tried my best. But it's only so hard to paint a masterpiece with one color of paint." Jack started hugging Charcoal. "I thought what we had would last forever with the moments we spent together. Were they meaningless in the end?"

Charcoal was starting to hear things now. She didn't hear everything but she heard something about together, and meaningless. Was he talking about us? 'Is this really worth giving up Jack. He seems to think that this could break the two of you up. Are you going to let that happen?' N-no. 'What was that?' No. 'I can't hear you.' NO! 'That's the spirit. Now go show him you still care.' Charcoal slowly uncurled herself and wrapped her arms and wings around him. Edited September 15, 2013 by Charcoal Embers

Charcoal slowly uncurled herself and wrapped her arms and wings around him.

Jack felt Charcoal's body. Her wings were so fluffy. Her body so warm. "It is accustomed for Pegasi to wrap they're wings around the ones they love." Jack got a boost of motivation. He hugged her back "I love you. This will never break us apart. Nothing can or will."

"I-I'm sorry I acted the way I did just now." Charcoal whispered. "I'm just... I just don't think I'm ready to have a foal of my own. I know next to nothing about caring for one and my house isn't exactly foal-proof and I..." Charcoal just kept going on and on about all sorts of things for why she isn't ready for a foal of her own.

"We wouldn't make good parents I assure you that. Also, imagine the child. Black coat with a black mane. I'm not saying that that's bag. That'd actually be cool. But taking care of a foal isn't up our alley." Jack hugged Charcoal tighter. "Would it be mean to give it to an orphanage. It's not born yet, but I don't want to have a secret son who grew up in an orphanage."

It's not born yet, but I don't want to have a secret son who grew up in an orphanage."

"No, I have to take responsibility for my actions. We are not going to be giving the foal to an orphanage. To me, the only thing worse than that is an abortion." Charcoal said in a serious tone. "I don't mind if you don't want to take care of the foal, I can respect that. But I need to do this."

Jack looked deeply into Charcoal's eyes. He could tell that she was a loving and caring mare. He was glad he found her on the plane and not another pony. "I can't leave you with my own son. I will stick by your side Charcoal. Not only to take care of our foal..." Jack gave Charcoal a kiss on the cheek "...but to take care of you too."

"Well that's good. Because give it a couple of months and I won't even be able to get out of bed on my own." Charcoal said with the slightest chuckle. Then she began crying again and hugged Jack tightly. "Thank you so much, I don't think k could do this on my own." She said crying into Jacks shoulder.

"Who could take care of a foal all by themselves? Well, there are ponies who do it, sadly, but that never ends up turning out well." 'Oh my Celestia. I think I'm about to cry.' Let it all out dude. Let it all out. An idea jumped into Jack's mind "Hey won't we have to get married for all this to be legal?"

"In a few places we would have to. I know in places like small towns and small cities don't say that but places like Canterlot do say you have to be married." Charcoal gave a big yawn. "I think I'm going to sleep, today was both physically and mentally exhausting for me." Charcoal rested her head against Jacks chest and fell asleep almost immediately.

Charcoal fell asleep right in Jack's arms. He still had many questions. Who would stay at home and take care of the foal? I don't want to. Where will we live? 'Dude. You are so distressed right now. It's pathetic.' How exactly is planning out my future pathetic? 'It isn't. You should just talk with Charcoal about it.' But she's asleep. 'Good night.' Wait! I- Jack fell right asleep with Charcoal.

Charcoal woke up in Jacks embrace. For a moment, she forgot all of her troubles and just stared at his face. But eventually she got up and walked I to the kitchen. She looked around for what she could have for breakfast. Then she remembered yesterday. She walked over to her saddlebags and took out one of the sandwiches in the bag. She was more sceptical and the look of the sandwich. She took and experimental bite and found that it was stil really really good.

Jack woke up. He was alone in a bed. He quickly sat up to see Charcoal eating that Celestia-forsaken sandwich. "Is it really that good?" Jack asked. He walked over to her "Well, I guess hormones are messing with your head, so I don't blame you." Jack sat down next to her. "Is it too early to talk about what happened... yesterday?"

Crystal thanked Quill for holding the door open. *Should I tell him what I am? Not now obviously buf at some point? He really should know.* Crystal was still off in her own world, only barely able to notice any ponies that she nearly bumped into occasionally.

They walked on, Quill looking at the shops they passed by while they walked. He noticed Crystal was distracted, nearly bumping into many ponies as they walked and hardly seeming to know where she was going. "Crystal, you okay?" he asked, concerned as he stopped to look at her.

Crystal Barely heard what Quill had said and was still off in her own world. "Hmm? Yes yes I am fine." She muttered to herself, just loud enough to make it seem as if she was responding. "Just admiring the building is all."

*But What if he hates you afterwards? What he phones the police? I doubt he would do that but it is a possibility after all.*

He walked over to her "Well, I guess hormones are messing with your head, so I don't blame you." Jack sat down next to her. "Is it too early to talk about what happened... yesterday?"

Charcoal was chewing so she just shook her head. This wasn't too early to talk about it, and now she could think straight since she wasn't tired. She finisher off the sandwich and sat down across from Jack so they could face eachother quickly and easily.
