((*This RP takes place after the Jungle adventure but before/during they discover they expecting. Just throwing that out there.*)) Big Mac lumbered out of the farm house at sunrise to start his chores for the day. He had to get an early start on it. He had an important mission to do today! It was still early morning when the sun cast over the fields over the top of the newest edition to life outside of Laisidhiel. A new building stood, just outside of the farm's "property".
Big Mac had spent most of the past week, building it and now it stood proudly, looking highly reminiscent of a particular boutique (minus the lovely paint job) that a certain fashion designer pony he knew used to own back in Equestria. The farm wasn't too far from the Tree itself, so the folks that lived in it wouldn't have to travel too far for clothes made by Rarity.
With his morning chores completed, he ducked into the farmhouse to clean up quickly, then made his way towards Laisidhiel. Halfway up the tree, he was spotted by the overly-enthusiastic fauny by the name of Pinkie Pie to do a quick little favor or two of quadruple checking her banners for her upcoming party, but he managed to break away eventually with a simple farewell and make his way towards Rarity's little home within the Tree's interior.
He approached the door and paused a moment, rubbing the back of his head a moment to conjure up what the heck he was going to say to his... Girlfriend? Is that what they were? Lover seemed too strong a word at this point in time as they had spent little time together... much less at all since they had returned from the Jungle escapade.
Oh, apples... The Jungle...................................... redface
He shook himself back into reality. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on her door and took a step back, looking around sheepishly as he waited for her to answer.

Rarity had been gently humming, cleaning her room in the tree. She had discovered something that at first... freaked her out big time. She near about had a heart attack when she discovered it, having to create up some lie to tell Sweetie Belle as the reason for her mini heart attack. She had to be sure about it first. But as days went on, the subtle changes began to show more to the over observant faunie. She was pregnant! And the more she said it to herself, the more and more she filled with pride.
Of course she'd have to tell Big Mac... he should know first after all. That time spent in the jungle... up in the trees together after drinking that.... potion. She had been planning to walk down there today and just spit it out, but the knock at her door distracted her. "I'll be right there!" she called out, unaware of who it was at the door, the only thing on her mind was getting them gone fast so she could go see Big Mac. "Now, I'm really busy you must understand, so lets make this qui..." she paused, as the familiar red figure appeared in the door as she opened it.
Her cheeks flushed red. "OH...oh.. Big Mac! Why it's you... I..i-i-well I was just thinking about you...." she laughed softly, still blushing. They were... a thing... right? So she should....reach out and kiss him? "How are you Darling?" she asked, leaning over to plant a gentle kiss on his cheek and smile up at him, batting her big baby blue eyes.

He blinked, happy to know that he wasn't the only one flustered in the moment. He relaxed a bit as she kissed him upon the cheek then smiled, taking a deep calming breath as his arms wrapped around her in a gentle hug.
"I'm well." he started then nodded towards her. "I hope you have been as well."
He fidgeted a bit and turned his gaze down to the front doors of Laisidhiel briefly. "I was actually wondering if you would mind coming down to the farm with me for a bit. There's, uh... There's something I'd like ta show ya." He paused a minute, looking her over briefly.
Something about her seemed different. Nothing bad, but charming. He didn't dwell on it too long, however. He quickly just tossed it to the fact that he hadn't seen her in a while and seeing her was like a whole new breath of fresh air all over again.
"An' meybeh I can make ya some dinner afterwards?"

Rarity blinked. She had been so caught up in just staring at his rippling bulging muscles, his strong arms and abs, those well toned calves, his tight rock hard.... "Huh?!" she questioned and tilted her head. "A surprise... for little ol' me?" she cooed, her eyes big and sparkly, lashes batting like crazy.

She had just been mentally telling herself to tell him about her expecting little ones, but the prospect of a surprise for her completely derailed her train of thought. "Oh of course Darling, I'll come. Can't pass up an invitation from a big strong Stallion now can I? Especially if there's the chance of surprises." she chuckled, dashing back inside her room to grab a hat and some gloves before peering in the door way again.
"And dinner would be lovely." she said, more softly as she twined her arms around his and grinned, leaning her head on his shoulder so as to not mess up her hat.

Big Mac chuckled and patted her hand softly as it took shelter in the crook of his arm.
"Eeeh-Yup! A surprise, just for you." he added and led the way out of the tree towards the farm. He came up with idle chitter chatter along the way so the trip wouldn't seem so... boring and awkwardly silent. Mainly just making sure that Sweety Belle had made it home from the jungle alright and reassured that Apple Bloom had returned unscathed as well.
As they neared the farmlands, Big Mac paused and turned to face Rarity.
"I'll need you to close your eyes." he stated simply as he took her gloved hands in his and waited for her to follow his request. He then gently urged her to keep walking as he led her around the last strip of trees that blocked the view of the new Boutique. "Keep 'em closed!" he chuckled then had her pause once she was in full view of it.
He stepped aside and smiled. "Alright. Yeh can open 'em now."

The talking along the way seemed to be mostly from Rarity as she went on and on about how worried she had been after she found out about Sweetie Belle having been trapped on a mountain and how positively awful it was.
But the chatter soon died away as he advised her to close her eyes. She did so without much fuss, giggling and cooing as she got lead to her 'surprise'. She could hardly wait, thinking it would be some new clothes or perhaps apple cider, because what else did the Apple family make better? But what her eyes first set sight on blew her away.
She was speechless.
For once in her life she didn't know what to say.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked over at him, smiling. "Big Mac... its.... its perfect." she sniffed. Her Boutique... near spitting image... well except for a paint job... was sitting right here, in front of her very own eyes.

Big Mac chuckled and stepped back, waving a hand in gesture to the building. "Go on in!" he offered then stood proudly. "I have yet ta add in a lock, but that'll come in time. An' I gotta find a decent place fer paints..." he then trailed, following her in to the currently empty boutique.
The interior was much the same as the old boutique. Large windows for window shoppers to gaze into, big center space for all her designs and things to be displayed within and a spiral staircase leading up to the "apartment" above.
Further inspection upstairs would show a spacious living space. Room enough for Rarity and a few others. Big Mac had taken into account that Sweety Belle might be coming along and took the liberty of adding in a few spare bedrooms to suit.
All in all, the building was perhaps a bit bigger than her previous boutique. Definitely more spacious over all. However, it was definitely something Big Mac was proud of.
"So what'cha think?"

"Oh Big Mac!" she squealed, hardly needing to be told twice to go on inside. Everything looked just like her old one, just as she had left it... but bigger! Everything was bigger! There was so much more space to move around, to store her things, why her mannequins could go over there, oh and her supplies there. Her left over fabrics she had brought along and the new fabrics she had acquired. Why he had even built shelves and dressers just like before to hold everything!
And up stares! It was like her own room, her very own room! She almost felt as if she hadn't left Equestria at all! "Its brilliant! Amazing! Fantastic, absolutely marvelous and perfect in every single way!" she squealed, turning to latch onto him tightly, showering him in kisses and praise.
It was then she noticed the extra rooms and remembered what it was that she intended to tell him. But.... did he already know? Was she showing that much? OH GOODNESS WAS SHE ALREADY THAT FAT?!? Gulping, she peered up at him. "What... are the extra rooms for though?"

Big Mac chuckled as she seemed overjoyed with the surprise. More so than he had anticipated her to be. He even turned a soft shade of pink in the cheeks as he was showered with kisses and the like, but he fondly returned the embrace.
"I'm glad yeh like it, Rarity." he spoke softly.
He then tilted his head at her sudden change of emotion and expression. It was unlike her to be so... confused? and uncertain about such a thing. He blinked and shrugged.
"I had assumed Sweety Belle was gonna be movin' with you. Not ta mention that Applebloom might want ta spend some here to. The girls are awful close friends, after all. Plus, yeh can't have a home without a spare bedroom or two for any unexpected guests."
Completely oblivious, he brought a hand to his chin, deep in thought. "Though I suppose you can make 'em into spare supply rooms if'n it bothers yeh too much."

Rarity blinked. Of course Sweetie Belle! How could she forget. "Of course, Sweetie Belle.. and Applebloom, how could I forget." she said and laughed softly, if not embarrassed. She fumbled over her hands a minute, listening to him suggest turning them into spare rooms for supplies. No no that wouldn't do.. they would need those rooms for.... well however many surprise bundles they would receive. Thinking of it made her realize... she should probably tell him now... "Big Mac..... There is something.. I need to tell you."' she said and blinked up at him, wide eyed and looking rather pitiful.

Big Mac paused, his ears folding back at her rather pitiful display. Panic began to rise in the pit of his stomach. Did he do something wrong? Or...
Or... was she...? Was she ending whatever sort of relationship they had? Granted, he had done little else - other than build her new boutique - since they'd returned home, but he had a farm to run and build up from scratch. During their journey through the jungle, it had been left on the back burner and had gotten a bit out of hand.
He bit his lip and paced a bit. Running a hand through his mane, he shrugged. "I-Is it too close to tha farm? I... I can rebuild it closer to tha tree if'n you want."
"Course if'n it's anythin' about me, I apologize fer not being around all too often. Runnin' a farm is a very time consumin' business. An' I've had little help so far, but tha's about ta change once Applejack and Apple Bloom move on in--..."
He was rambling now, paying more attention now to what he was saying, thinking, and pacing over than what she was doing.

Big Mac almost continued on his ramble, that is, until her words caught his ears and her froze. His ears perked forward and his eyes flew wide. In fact, it almost appeared as if he was completely frozen, petrified for a few moments where he stood.
Pregnant. She was... Pregnant?
He then realized that he had apparently been holding his breath. His breathing labored a moment as he turned to look at Rarity. He blinked, still obviously in shock for the moment. She had only spent one night with him. Beds were limited at the farm, but after a long arduous journey through the jungle, the bed was a welcoming object. They shared it for simplicity's sake and he escorted her to the tree the next morning.
Not that he was questioning the news. In fact... He felt... rather elated!
Add that to the fact that he noticed something alluring about the way she now held herself. Maybe that was what he had noticed when she first answered the door earlier that day? Perhaps. In either case, she had yet to put on any weight. She'd be happy to hear that least.
Needless to say, he was still floored. He ran another hand through his mane and looked in the direction of the "spare" rooms.
"I'm guessin' I'ma have ta start buildin' thing fer the nursery, huh?" he asked, looking to Rarity again with a warm soft smile.

She laughed. She wanted to see how long it took him to realize those few simple words. Laughing, she ran her hands over each other before stepping closer to him. "I guess so. No telling how many. We could have two or three or six or even nine! Nine... oh goodness I hope its not nine... I would be.. so.. fat! You know what, two. Two is good!" she grinned, beaming up at him before wrapping her arms around him in a big hug, having to stand on her tip-hooves just to reach. "How ever are we going to tell the rest of them..." she grinned mischievously.

Big Mac chuckled and shook his head. "It don' matter how many yer carryin'." he started and looped arms around her middle "I'll never be thinkin' of you as fat, Rarity." He placed a soft kiss on her lips then blinked.
Wait.... Tell the rest of them....?
Images flashed into his thoughts. Twilight and the others would be a cinch. Applebloom would most likely be ecstatic beyond all reason. Images of Applejack losing her mind, pelting him with apples for getting Rarity - of all the ponies and fauns available - pregnant, however..... and out of wedlock, too..........
"Nnnope!" he started then turned from Rarity a moment to go take another look at the spare rooms. He had to get it in his mind how to best decorate the room. Get an idea on what furniture to build and the like. "I'm perfectly fine with them knowin', but I ain' about to tell AJ. She'd tan my hide an' give me tha what'fer for not 'playin' it safe' an' all that nonsense..."
He paused a moment then sighed. "Though, if'n you were there with me to tell her tha news...?" he asked, feeling only a little bad for outright refusing to tell his own sister something so important.
