“WHAT THE ACTUAL HAY, FLURRY HEART?!” Pumpkin Pie’s scream took Flurry Heart off guard. She expected her marefriend to be happy about having a son, but she seemed outraged. “YOU HAD A SON WITH ME, AND KEPT IT A SECRET?!” “I-I’m sorry, P-Pumpkin “ Her meek voice was distanced from her mind, and she was surprised to find herself talking. “DON’T ‘SORRY PUMPKIN’ ME! YOU KNOW WHAT? IF YOU CAN’T BE HONEST WITH ME, WE’RE DONE!” She had cut to the chase so quickly, Flurry felt like she had been smacked. “What? N-No! Plea” “We’re done, Flurry.” “NO! Please! What about Starry? What if he grows up without a - m-mother? O-or father?” She was begging, eyes filling with tears. She moved forward, and Pie took a step back. “Please! What about him? Don’t do it out of spite for me! We have to protect ou~~”
“Your. Son.”
“What?”
“He’s your son. Not mine. Maybe he’ll grow up to be a secret-keeping, filthy liar like you. We’re. Over.”
