70.

Fluttershy hugged Discord. “I’m so glad you’re back. How did it go?”

“Well, it was an experience to say the least. The water is back and I gave some to Lilly to offer to Zero. I told her to let him choose if he wanted to be with her for eternity or not.” He sighed and looked at her. “Sorry my love, I didn’t give you a choice.”

“If I was given the choice, I would have chosen to spend an eternity with you.” Fluttershy replied as she hugged him again.He hugged and pet down her back slowly. “Thank you for being so caring for being so… you.” He smiled at her. “I don’t know how you can put up with me?”

She giggled. “One day at a time.” She teased him.

“Oh, is that right?” He whispered as he picked her up and started to tickle her.

Fluttershy squealed and laughed in his arms as he tickled her pregnant belly. “Ah… stop it! Discord!”

He laughed as he carried her to the bedroom. “Stop what?” He continued to tickle her and enjoying her laughter as he kissed her softly against her lips.

She stopped laughing at his soft kiss as she looked into his eyes. “You’re not telling me something.”

He nodded as he placed her on the bed. “You read me like a book.”

“The most interesting book in the library. Tell me what is wrong?” She asked.

“I don’t think the water will help Princess Celestia and I believe that I’ll be blamed for it not working. I hope that it would work because I know you’d be happier at the cottage with your animals.” He sat in the bed beside her.

“Having a taste of all this power you would still be willing to give it up just for me?” Fluttershy asked.

“Just so I could be with you, I’d give up everything. Power is nothing compared to the love I have for you.” He whispered as he lay back on the bed.

She snuggled up against him. “I hope that you don’t get blamed; is there any other options for Princess Celestia?”

“I don’t know. Maybe my library would have a clue, but I’ll look tomorrow, tonight I’m tired and want to snuggle up with my lovely wife.”

Fluttershy looked around. “Oh my! You’re married? Better be sure I leave before she gets here.” She teased him.

“Fluttershy,” He laughed as he pulled her to him. “You’re so adorable. I love you.” He nuzzled her neck.
