private A vacation in Paris!

Jack patted her on the back "It'll be okay. Remember that the stomach will return to it's normal size right? Aw man. I seriously have to read a book or go to a class or something. I hardly know anything about how pregnancy and anything near it. Except for sex."

Charcoal calmed down instantly. "Oh yeah that's right. Thanks Jack." Charcoal leans forward and gives Jack a kiss. "And if you want to know about pregnancy I have a few things I could tell you. I actually paid attention in health class. Rule one: don't make a pregnant mare angry, you will regret it. Rule two: if you weren't able to follow step one be sure to keep a nice set of flowers or chocolate or something to calm down the mare. Rule three: if rules one and two were not able to be followed then be sure you are a very good runner."

Jack looked to Charcoal with a scared face. "Heh. I'll keep that in m-mind." he said as he took a step away. 'I think she was kidding' I don't think so. "Is there anything you need?" Jack asked, fear flooding his face "I can do anything you want." Jack smiled awkwardly.

Charcoal saw Jacks face full of fear and she immediately felt guilty. "I was joking about what I said Jack." Charcoal said. Though it was a lie and she was going against what she said before she didn't care. "I'm not going to hurt you Jack, I've already told you this."

Wait. What does she mean by hurt me. 'She's a slave driver. Just wait until she gets her whip.' "I didn't say anything about you hurting me." Jack said "I just thought you meant 'Don't make a pregnant pony angry.'" Jack explained "I know that you aren't going to hurt me." Jack came up to Charcoal and gave her a kiss on the forehead "But I really do need to learn more about Equine pregnancy. Do you mind helping me?"

Charcoal smiles, relieved that Jack is no longer scared. "Of course, come on." Charcoal walks over to the bed and lays down on it. "Lets to it here, where it is much more comfortable than the floor." Charcoal pats a spot on the bed beside her where she wants Jack to sit.

Jack looked to the spot where Charcoal set for him. Then to Charcoal. Do "It" on the bed? Jack's face grew suspicion. Jack listened to Charcoal and sits on the spot. "Okay. So, what is your plan now?" Jack asked "Where do we start? And what is "It""? 'Isn't "IT" a tv show, or a book?' Both.

""It"? What do you mean by... oh Jack I didn't mean that. I ment for you to lay next to me on the bed so I could answer your questions." Charcoal puts her face between her hooves to hide her embarrassment. "I mean really, I'm trying to be serious for once I'm not going to be doing something like that."

"Phew!" Jack was relieved "Thank Celestia." Jack was instantly calm. "Alright, let's get this started." Jack layed down. He got comfortable. "I've heard that there's a third symptom of pregnancy, I heard it's that a pregnant mare get's a need to bed a stallion. I'm not sure if that's true or not."

Charcoal was a bit hesitant with saying her next few words. "Well... on some occasions that is true. It isn't true for every mare that gets pregnant, but it has happened before. And don't worry, unless it comes later I have no desire to bed you again." Charcoal said, hoping to not worry him.

'Something to look forward to, eh?' Shut up, you. 'Why not?' Respect. And I'm way to excited about the baby foal to think about that. "When does the time come when the baby foal will start kicking? Does that part hurt? Is there a way to hurt it? When does the stomach reach maximum size?"

Charcoal thinks for a moment. "Well, the foal should be developed enough to start kicking withing the next week or two. And no, from what I do know it doesn't hurt it is just a jump. It usually reaches maximum size after about three or four weeks. And is there a way to hurt what?"

Jack rests his head on Charcoal's belly. "You know.Is there a way to hurt the baby foal? Can you imagine accidentally hurt your own flesh and blood? I don't even want to imagine it. It'd be like hurting any foal at any age. I know you wouldn't hurt our baby on purpose, because you know more than even I do about abusive parents."

"I do." Charcoal said in a low voice. She shook her head to rid them of those thoughts. "Anyway, yes there is. If I fall too hard on my stomach, that can hurt it. Taking drugs or drinking can hurt it. And anything I eat from now until it is born will also go through the foal, so there is that as well."

"No drinking, eh?" that gave Jack an idea. "Wait for a second." Jack ran to the kitchen where he opened the fridge and found a few alcoholic beverages. "Bingo." he said to himself. Jack popped the caps off all of them and drained them down the kitchen sink. "There we go." Jack calmly walked back and lied down beside Charcoal as if nothing happened. "Well I ran out of questions. What do you want to do?"

"Well, I'm always hungry, or at least I seem to be now. So maybe I could cook us up something to eat." Charcoal offered. She knew she might not be in the best place to be cooking right now with how messed up her taste buds are at the moment, but she at least wanted to offer.

"You do make goo-" Jack was interrupted by the memory of Charcoal's evil sandwich of pure evil. "No! No. I mean. I don't want you to have to cook. Why don't we just go to that café again. They made you that sandwich that you liked. Maybe they could make that for you again."

"Well... alright I guess. I did like the sandwich they made last time... alright why not." Charcoal said. She went over and grabbed her saddlebags and put them on her back. She made sure she had her key and walked back over to Jack. "Ready to go?" She asked, with anticipation.

Jack was one step behind Charcoal "I'm ready when you are. You can lead the way, you know where the place is better than I do. But I do have a favor. Please don't hurt yourself or anyone's property if you get angry. Remember our system. If you get angry, you just kiss me on the cheek."

"Alright." Charcoal walked out the door with Jack and locked the door behind them. She began walking with him out of the hotel and on their way to the cafe. After a bit more searching than Charcoal would like to admit she finds the cafe and gets them a seat.

"Ah. This is a great place isn't it? The atmosphere is nice. The food is okay. Overall. A very enjoyable place to eat." Jack picked up a menu and started to skim it "Again. I'm being pulled towards the club sandwich again. I'll take it again. What the hell. I'm not really in the mood for something new."

"I think I will go for something a little different this time. I think I will go for the... nevermind I will get the sandwich too." She waits for a waiter to come and places her order, she also adds everything strange she had them add last time. With a strange look he takes her order and turns to Jack.

She waits for a waiter to come and places her order, she also adds everything strange she had them add last time. With a strange look he takes her order and turns to Jack.

"I'll just go for the club sandwiches, sir." Jack ordered. Jack looked over to Charcoal and snickered. "You know, before when you got that sandwich, I was grossed out. But now I just find it funny, like a little inside joke. I bet other mares wouldn't go for something like that."

Charcoal giggles a bit. "Yeah, sorry about that. I don't mean to gross you out, but it is just so good." Charcoal says, really over exaggerating it. "You know Jack, today is such a nice day. The sun is shinning, the birds are chirping, what could possibly go wrong?"

[Jack Spades 162]

Jack's mind broke "Um... Why'd you jinx it?" Jack asked while keeping his calm composure. "Now something bad has to happen. We just don't know what." Jack saw a waiter with a tray of food.

 

"Sir, Madame. I believe your food is prepared. I have a sandwich and a... another sandwich. Did I get my order correct?"

Charcoal took a bite from her "sandwich". She was satisfied with how it tasted and nodded at the waiter and let him leave. She began eating her sandwich until she heard a voice from behind her, one that was scarily familiar. "Well now honey, look who we found all the way out in Paris." She thought the voice was talking about her so she turned around. When she saw who it was she was so shocked she dropped her sandwich.
