~ Dialogue ~
Turquoise Blitz: Get out of my way, Claire! I can hear Annie in there… she’s crying out for me… I won’t let them hurt her!
Crystal Clarity: They aren’t hurting her, you big oaf. They’re helping her deliver a foal. It’s not pleasant, but it would be way worse for her without competent doctors around.
Turquoize Blitz: Et tu, Clrits! Then feel my power!
Crystal Clarity: I really don’t want to hurt you, little brother, but if you keep this up you are going down.
Spike: Woo! Go T! Go Claire!
Rarity: Spikey, perhaps you shouldn’t encourage this kind of rough housing in a hospital, hm?
Spike: What? T is just trying to be a good husband and father by not letting those scheming doctors do anything… malevolent.
Rarity: Darling, this doctor delivered both of our children and he never once did anything to hurt me, did he?
Spike: Well, of course not, I showed him what I’d do to him if he tried anything…
Rarity: Ugh, of course that’s what… Crystal Clarity, do try not to cause too much property damage.
Crystal Clarity: Doing my best, Mom. Oh, you did not just singe my hair. And Illusion’s going to be here any moment. It. is. on! Rising Dragon Uppercut!
Turquoise Blitz: Rawwwwr! Have at thee, sorceress!
Rarity: Oh, this is getting entirely out of hoof.
Spike: Should I go get the strait jacket?
Rarity: If you would be a dear.
there isn’t one, some people just refuse to let the dragonpony tag die
part dragon its a natural move to them. translated shoryuken means something like Dragon punch.
“And ponies say I’m too paranoid. Who still slaps fillies right outta the chute?”
Yea, She burned out the delivery room and the reception area.
All you did was roar, Clair did $542.786 bits of damage at 14 lbs 3 ozs.
Well, they did start kinda young…
Well, they did start kinda young…
And then she nearly scrambles around him, only to have her tail-tip sat on.
I just had a hilarious image of him using one arm to hold back a drunken/belligerent Claire from pummeling someone.

I suppose he could still stop barroom brawls by playing Scary McMeatshield(TM). Until somepone gives him a nosebleed, whereupon they wind up in a body cast ’cause he used ’em for a fainting couch.
But he is by far the worst in a fight. Too emotional and he’s more likely to just thrash about. Even his blind wife is probably better in a fight than he is.
And, of course, hemophobia. The delivery room is the last place he should be.

Eh, I’m starting to find it a bit stale. Suppose there’s some comedic potential in pushy extra witnesses (e.g. the Pinkie & Cheese Pre-Birthday-pa-Looza(TM)) getting flame-warped right back into the waiting room themselves. Then Squiggletail & her doting partner can share a warm look before she squishes whichever appendage Spike can spare.
That was some impressively articulate ranting on Big T’s part. Too bad that impending wired jaw’s liable to hamper his thespian streak.
He gets the protective and slightly paranoid instinct from Spike, but I’m pretty sure the overdramatic blowing of his top comes from Rarity.
I suppose there’s nothing in any of the dragon-focused eps to really discount it either. Just feels a bit odd that papa (half-)drakes feral-fixate on their mates in a manner so close to hoard-possessiveness. Be interesting to know how much use brooding dragonesses have for these displays.
Besides, it’d be rather mundane if they were all nonchalantly drinking tea as they waited outside. The Panicky Expectant Father trope is fun for a reason, after all.
I can buy the ‘Instinct’ excuse. It doesn’t bother my suspension of disbelief.
