After her first pregnancy the sadness hung in the air for a couple months, I eventually moved in. She didn't protest when I did though probably because we felt a mutual love for each other. She often would cook for the both of us and she also didn't talk much about the gala or talk to Rarity. She only seemed to talk to Luna and me. I did all the shopping because she didn't like to leave the house. And eventually she only left the house to visit Luna at her wing in the castle via my flight. We started to sleep in the same room but still separate beds I sometimes would climb in bed with her when she was crying or started to moan in her sleep. Her pain was my pain and her life molded with mine I never left her side. I love her so much and will never allow her to get hurt ever again. "Hey, Saphy. Do you want to go to lunch with Rarity and Fluttershy? They just invited us." She gave me a sour look and replied with, "okay..." we walked to the hayburger joint and we both sat down in the corner and as Rarity and Fluttershy walked in she buried her face into my shoulder. "Whats wrong darling?" Rarity said as she walked in. "Is she still grieving?" Fluttershy looked sad too and then said, "Was it something I did, oh I'm horribly sorry..." For the next couple of minutes we ate our food in silent until Saphire broke the silence with a shocking conversation starter, "I want to have a filly..."

I don't know what was going through my head when I said it I only remember the shocked looks from all three of ponies staring at me with dropped jaws. "Saphy... what are you saying?" Choco said with a quiet squeaky voice. "I said what I mean and I mean what I said. I really want to have a filly..." Choco looks into my eyes and we both simultaneously stop eating and get up and begin to walk back to my house at the edge of the town. Neither FS nor Rarity questioned it and they continued to eat in silence. On the way back I got a bunch of questioning looks from Choco but he faked a smile most of the walk home so it didn't give away that I just dropped an atom bomb on our relationship. When I open the door to my house Choco flies past me dragging me in quickly and slams the door behind him. "What do you mean you want a filly?!?! I mean don't get me wrong I would love to be a father and I do love you enough but I am questioning if you want a filly for the right reasons..." Choco says in a frantic sputter of words. "Choco..." I touch his cheek and I feel it get hot under my hoof and I see him starting to blush. "I love you." For the first time ever I took the initiative and I kissed him which was the best feeling ever his soft lips gingerly pressing against mine, for a minute I slipped out of reality and didn't realize how long we were kissing. The thing was I didn't care how long we kissed I have been dying to do that since we first met in grade school. I let myself melt into him and next thing I know we were on the ground of our kitchen and I was on top of him. I pull out of the kiss and look into his eyes and all he can mutter out is "whoa..." his blush darkened and we went to bed for the first time ever he laid in bed with me without me crying or feeling sad and he didn't even ask and I didn't want to protest... it just felt right. His body was warm compared to the cold winters night.

After she kissed me I laid in bed with her and she didn't seem to mind at all, she actually seemed like she liked it. I found it funny she kind of used me like a blanket because she didn't want to use her old one because she had her first foal on it and it just sits sadly in the corner of the room all crumbled up and tossed aside in a fit of anger and pain. She pushed back against me and nuzzled into my chest with the back of her head a couple times I stayed awake most of the time this was the first night she didn't get up in the middle of the night crying or screaming. The next morning I didn't question any of that night directly to her face, "Saph... I was thinking of what happened yesterday and what you said to me when we got home..." she turned to me with a faint smile on her face. "and what is it Choco?" I stumbled over my words a little bit "I kinda..." searches for something behind my back and fumbles out a small box... and I kneel down on one knee and opens the box revealing an engagement ring. "Sapphire, the love of my life... will you marry me?
(Sapphire)
At first I just stared at him and the ring in shock, why was I in shock I have been expecting this for about a year now. But, does he feel guilty or did he finally notice that I need him more than just that good coltfriend that he has been for the last couple months. I dropped the spatula and slowly walked toward him and says in a small voice, "yes..." then a little bit more confident, "Yes!" I threw myself into his body and he took me lovingly and he embraced me with a hug back.
