Hi everypony and welcome back to another chapter.

I'm glad to hear my last chapter went so well. I can already tell everyone has grown attached to Amy, I hope to keep that up.

However, not all is so good. My pet Bearded Dragon, Spike, had to be put down recently. I was very upset and I'll miss him.

The song I used in this chapter has a short number of lyrics changed to go with the story.

Please enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 74: Baby's first day

It took until the next morning before the doctors finally let us leave the hospital with our new foal, Amy Sparkle. Once we did leave, we were too tired to walk back, but the doctors knew this and managed to get a taxi cart to help take us home.

The sun shined bright over Ponyville as Twilight and I rode a taxi chart back to the Library. All the while, we couldn't stop looking down at Amy, held in Twilight's arms while wrapped in a warm blanket. She slept soundly as the gentle breeze blew against us.

Twilight and I were love-struck, she was so perfect that it was unreal. It was like Heaven shined down on us and gave us one of their angels to care for. Her beauty, her mane, her small horn sticking through it just slightly, Nothing else could compare to her. "Oh Matt…isn't she the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?" Twilight asked as she rocked Amy a little in her arms.

"Yeah." I said before I turned my attention to Twilight. "But you're just as beautiful as she is." I said, scooting closer and wrapping my arm around her.

Twilight looked at me with a sweet smile before she leaned in and kissed me deeply. But we soon broke apart when we heard a small whimper, Twilight and I looked down at Amy to see she was starting to wake up. She looked up at us with her blue beady eyes. "Hey baby-girl, how are you doing?" I asked in a whisper as I lowered my head down to her.

Amy remained silent as she looked around her surroundings, she continued to whimper as she become uneasy and didn't understand what was going on.

Twilight held her up higher to her face and gave her a sweet smile. "Don't worry, bug. We'll be home soon and we'll get you all cosy." She said before she lowered her head down and kissed Amy's head gently.

Amy giggled a little as she moved her hooves out from under the blanket and tried to reach up to us. I smiled and placed my hoof in front of her, letting her grab it with her hooves and place the tip in her mouth.

The taxi-puller soon looked back at us and smiled. "Cute kid, is it yours?" he asked curiously.

I turned my head to face him and nodded. "Yeah, just born, to be honest." I said before I looked down at Amy. "So far, she's been a total gem. I don't think there's a single bad-bone in her." I said, seeing Amy as Equestria's golden filly.

The taxi-puller's smile went away. "Urr…don't you think it's too early to think that way? I mean, its none of my business, but how do you think she'll be like in the future?" he said as he returned his attention to the road.

With that thought now in mind, Twilight looked at me with her smile now gone. "Wait…Matt, he's right! Amy may be good an angel now, but when she gets just as a few days older, she's probably gonna act out. Remember what Rarity said to Mr Cake when the twins were born? A baby Unicorn can have bizarre magic outbursts at this age." She said, looking back down at Amy.

I took this into consideration as well. Sure, things were fine now, but eventually Amy will act out, just like the twins did when Pinkie took care of them. "Well…we didn't say raising a kid would be easy." I said before I smiled at Twilight. "But like you said last night, we can handle it as long as we give her a lot of love and care." I said.

Twilight gave me another smile before she looked back down at Amy. "I guess so…but we should be careful, her magic may get out of control. If that happens, we need to help her calm down." she said.

"Don't worry, Twi, we will." I said as I held her closer in a hug. "But right now, lets just focus on getting home and getting her settled there." I said before I looked down at Amy and tickled her with the tip of my hoof. "And I know you'll love it at the Library. With any luck, you'll grow to love them just like your mother." I said, glancing at Twilight to see the excited smile on her face. But then I lowered my head down to her and whispered. "But if you don't, tell me know, I'll help get you out of those messes."

"Hey!" Twilight said, giving me a firm look. "I heard that."

I looked back up at Twilight and chuckled nervously. "Just kidding." I said sheepishly before I lowered my head back down to Amy. "Most of the messes anyway." I whispered, getting another firm glare from Twilight.

We continued to ride the taxi all the way back to town. It wasn't long before we finally reached town and we were travelling down the street. As we passed by, some ponies we knew noticed us and waved, seeing the bundle in Twi's arms and instantly knowing where we were and what happened. After a minute or so, we finally reached the Library and we all got off it.

I then paid the taxi-pony and he went off to do his job elsewhere, leaving us at our home. I turned around and made my way up beside Twilight and looked at her. "Ready to take her in?" I asked.

Twilight looked at me and nodded. "Yeah…besides, we best make sure Spike and the others didn't trash the place while we were gone." She said before she made her way up to the front-door and used her magic to open it.

I followed her inside and looked around to see the place was still in one piece, thank Celestia. I smiled at this sight and looked down at Amy. "Welcome home, Amy." I said, watching Twilight move her so Amy could look at the Library.

"I think she likes it." Twilight said before she made her way over to the round table with the wooden horse-head before she placed Amy down on it. "Matt, are you ok to go look for the guys, I'm gonna check on Amy to make sure she's feeling ok." She said, keeping her eyes on Amy as she used her magic to unwrap the blanket around her.

"Sure thing, Twilight." I said before I looked over to the door to the study room. I made my way over to it and gently pushed it open with my hoof. "Guys?" I asked, looking around for anyone, but the entire room was empty. I then stepped away and looked over to the stairs that led up to the higher level of the library.

As I walked past Twilight and Amy to get there, Amy made a small whimper noise as she reached her arms out to me. "Don't worry, daddy will be back in a second, he's looking for your uncles." Twilight said as she continued looking her over.

Once I reached the stairs, I went up them until I reached our room. I looked around for anyone, but it didn't look like anyone was here at all. I was a little confused by this, I turned around and looked down the stairs. "Twilight! There's no one up here!" I called down to her.

"Did you check the guest room?" Twilight's voice called up.

"Good idea, I'll try there." I said before I walked over to the next set of small stairs then went up to our bed-room. Once I reached the next floor, I walked past our bed to the door which led to the guest room. I pushed my ear against it, but couldn't hear anything, but I decided to try looking inside anyway. I placed my hoof against the door and started to slowly push it open.

But before I could push it any further, Discord's face, coloured brown to match the wood, appeared on the door. "NO!" H yelled with his eyes glowing red.

I yelped in fight and leaped backwards away from the door. Discord then stepped out of the door, his entire body still coloured brown. His tail then whipped at the doorknob and pulled the door shut before releasing it. "Its not ready yet." He said before he pulled a small pain-brush out from behind his back and pressed it against his body, which then sucked up all the brown colour on his body, returning him to his normal look before the brush disappeared.

I breathed heavily, holding my hoof against my chest and I stared up wide-eyed at him. "…You…*pants…could've put up a sign or something…*pants*." I said, trying to recover from the jump-scare I just got from him. "What's not ready in there anyway?" I said, giving him a firm look.

"Oh that would spoil the surprise." Discord said as she slivered up beside me. "Besides, don't you have a lovely little foal to introduce me to?" he asked before he grabbed one of my wings with his fingers and raised it up, he then looked under my wing with a curious look. "Where is she anyway?" he asked, like he was looking for her on my person.

I pulled my wing out of his grip and folded it away. "Amy is downstairs with Twilight. But where's Spike and the others, are they hiding as well?" I asked, wondering where they could be right now.

Discord stood back up and stroked his beard with his talon-hand. "Oh yes…they had to go to Rarity's to pick up some new things she made dear Amy." He said before a box with a ribbon appeared in his lion hand. "By the way, she left this for you." he said as he held it down to me.

I looked up at Discord before I looked back down at the present, I then sat down and took it with my front-hooves. I shook it a little to try and hear what was inside, but whatever was in there was too soft to make any sort of sound. I then looked up at Discord again. "Thanks…so what have you been up to since yesterday?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing much, just getting something ready for the new member of our little family." Discord said before he started hovering in mid-air with his heads behind his head. "I must say, I've really outdone myself with that room." he said with a satisfied smirk on his face.

Upon hearing this, I instantly became worried. To him, a spinning room with all the furniture rolling around everywhere was considered safe for a baby's room, I didn't want my kid being put into an environment like that. "What did you do to Amy's room?! I have to see!" I said before I rushed past him to try and look into the guest room.

In another flash of light, Discord reappeared in front of me with a construction-workers outfit on, he blew a whistle as he held a stop-sign in front of me. He then spat the whistle out before he spoke. "Can't go in there, a lot of work going on." he said.

Just then, I heard someone coming up the stairs, I turned my head around to see more construction-worker Discord's coming up. "Where do you want all this new stuff, boss?" one of them asked.

"In there." The Discord in front of me said as he pointed at the door behind him with his thumb.

I then watched as a few Discord's walked past us and into the room with some rather worrying objects. Stuff like a small active volcano, a fish-tank with a Piranha in it, and some kind of green slime blob with a large smile on his face. Each one made me more worried than the last. "Urr…Discord, what is all that stuff?" I asked, scared of the answer.

"Just some play things for Amy." Discord said before he looked down at me with a large grin. "As a godfather, I have to provide my god-daughter with whatever she'd need to have a good time." He said.

"Well that very considerate of you, Disc-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" I yelled as I turned around to see another Discord walked past with a mini Cerberus on a leash, it snarled and shot up to try and bite me as it past.

"What? Every kid needs a puppy." Discord said before he raised his hands. "I know, I know, she's too young to take on such a responsibility. But I think it would do her some good to have a new friend." He said before he lowered his head down to me with a bright smile on his face. "Can you say 'best godfather ever'?" he said before he chuckled with excitement.

I was too shook up with horrifying thoughts to answer properly. "Urr…let me get back to you on that." I said before I turned around and walked away while holding the present in one hoof.

Discord raised himself back up before he smirked and crossed his arms. "Huh…so overwhelmed with please that he couldn't speak, I am on a role!" he said with cheer before he disappeared in another flash of light.

Meanwhile, I had already made my way back down to the living room. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down after all the things I saw go into Amy's future room. "Twilight's gonna flip when she sees what's going on in there." I said out-loud to myself.

"I'll flip when I what?" Twilight's voice asked.

I looked over to where it came from to see Twilight was still by the centre table with Amy. I froze for a second before I gave her a weak smile. "Nothing, we'll sort it out later…how's Amy?" I asked as I walked over to them.

Twilight looked back down at her and smiled. "She's fine. I've looked her over and she seems perfectly fine…but guess what I found." She said before she raised her hoof and tickled it against the bottom of one of Amy's hind-leg hooves, getting a small laugh out of her. "Someone has a ticklish spot." Twilight said as she kept doing it, getting more laughs out of Amy.

I smiled warmly at this. "That's adorable." I said as I watched Amy's laughing face. At that moment, I remembered that I had a present in my hoof for Amy. I lifted it up and held it towards Twilight. "Oh, Discord said Rarity left us this." I said.

Twilight turned her head to look at it and gave it a curious look. "Huh, I wonder what it is…like I even need to ask, knowing Rarity and all." She said with a small amused smile before she picked the present up out of my hoof with her magic. Twilight then placed the present down on the table and was about to unwrap it, until she noticed Amy taking an interest in it. She gave her a sweet smile before she nudged it towards her. "Here sweetie, do you wanna open it?" she asked.

Amy looked at the present with a confused face before she reached out and grabbed the paper, she then pulled back a little and tore some of the paper off it. Finding it entertaining, Amy giggled a little before she proceeded to rip off the rest of the paper until there was only the box left. "Good girl, Amy. Only a few hours old and you're already a smart cookie." She said, giving Amy a small wink.

Amy clapped her front-hooves together as she laughed at her comment. Twilight then looked at the box and used her magic to open it, revealing what was inside. It was a small dark-blue onesie, small enough to fit Amy perfectly. "Oh look Amy, Auntie Rarity made you some lovely pyjamas." She said as she used her magic to lift the onesie out and hold it above Amy. "Wanna try it on?" she asked.

Amy looked at the onesie and giggled as she reached her hooves up to it. We both smiled lovingly at this before Twilight used her magic to pick Amy up gently and move the onesie towards her. After a moment or so, she managed to get the onesie onto Amy, she looked so cute and comfy in it. "It fits perfectly on her." Twilight said.

"I know." I said, not able to take my eyes off Amy as Twilight lowered her back down onto the table and she kicked her legs a little. "How does it feel, Amy?" I asked, wondering what she must've thought of it.

Amy looked down at herself and whimpered a little as she rolled around in her new onesie, she looked a little unsettled and uncomfortable, she started to moan louder as she realized it wouldn't come off.

I noticed this and my smile went away. "What's wrong, sweetheart? Do you not like it?" I asked, wondering if it may not be the right size after all.

"I know what it is." Twilight said as she rushed her magic to pick Amy up again and place her in her arm, she held Amy up against her shoulder as she rubbed her back with her other hoof. "She doesn't know what it is. Besides from that diaper, she hasn't worn anything else, this is her first piece of clothing." She said before she planted a gentle kiss on the side of Amy's head. "She'll get used to it though."

My small smiled returned as I moved closer to Twilight and wrapped my wing around her, pulling her closer to me. As Twilight turned her head to look at me with her sweet smile, I couldn't help but feel my heart skip a beat as I saw her sitting there, holding our child against her. "Beautiful…" I said, looking at her in a love-stuck daze.

"What is?" Twilight asked curiously as she patted Amy's back a little.

"You are…and so is Amy." I said before I leaned my header closer to Twilight's and nuzzled my head against hers. "I love you both so much…I don't know where I'd be now without you, but I know it would've never been as good as this." I said before I moved my head away and looked into her eyes deeply.

Twilight did the same as she gave me a loving smile. "I feel the same way." she said before she leaned closer to me and we shared a loving kiss. It was funny, I remember perfectly how our first kiss felt, it was like fireworks shot in my mind and blew my world. And now, even after all this time together, it still felt the same. We then broke apart and continued to stare warmly at each other, that was until we heard a small whine.

Twilight and I looked down to see Amy with an slightly upset look as she reached her hooves up to us. Twilight and I looked at each other and smiled again until Twilight used her magic to hold up Amy between our heads, where we then planted a gentle kiss on each of her cheeks. Amy giggled at this as she enjoyed the love she was receiving.

"Urr…are we interrupting?" a voice asked behind us.

Twilight and I pulled away from Amy and looked over to where the voice came from, that's when we saw Spike, Jeff and Peewee standing by the front-door while staring at us. "Oh, hey Spike." Twilight said before she placed Amy back down on the table. "Where have you guys been?" she asked curiously.

"At Rarity's…for no reason, haha." Spike said, chuckling nervously as he rubbed the back of his head while blushing.

"Yeah, not like we were stalking one of our friends or something." Jeff said with his wings crossed while giving Spike a firm glare.

Twilight and I looked at each other awkwardly before he looked over to them again. "Well…that's good." I said, not entirely understanding what they meant. "Anyway, aren't you guys gonna say hello to Amy." I said before I turned around to see Amy was sitting up on the table with a confused look on her face.

Spike smiled warmly at the sight of her. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about her." he said as he walked over to us and stopped in front of the table, he stood on his toes so he could get a better look at Amy. "This is gonna take some getting used to." he said before he reached his hand over to her and gently stoked her head with his hand, which Amy accepted.

Jeff and Peewee flew over to us and landed on the table, they stood near Amy as they stared at her. "She seems to feel right at home." Peewee said as he saw how at peace Amy was about everything.

Twilight nodded in agreement. "Yeah, she does." She said before she returned her attention to Amy, watching Spike continue to give her attention. "We're glad she's happy here, but I know it won't be long until she gets upset about something." she said.

Jeff took a step closer to her and shrugged. "Well she seems happy right now, I don't think there's anything that'll upset this little thing." he said, giving Amy a gentle pat on the back with her wing.

Feeling this, Amy turned her head and saw Jeff. Drawn in by his soft colourful feathers, Amy smiled widely before she grabbed Jeff and hugged him tightly, loving how soft her felt. Jeff was wide-eyed and struggled to breathe within Amy's tight embrace. Part of him wanted to pull away, but he knew it would probably upset Amy if he did so. "Urr…little help?" he asked with whatever breath he could speak with.

I smirked at this and chuckled. "Haha, no way man, this is too cute." I said as I watched Amy hug Jeff like a stuffed animal.

Jeff turned his head a little to watch Amy hug him, but soon had enough, so his raised his tail-feathers and brushed them against her nose. Amy's eyes widened before he face scrunched up and started whining. Then, as expected, Amy sneezed roughly, making her release Jeff and allowing him to fly up to a high spot in the room and land on a branch. Amy used her arm to wipe her mouth before she looked up to where Jeff was, she whimpered as she tried to reach up to him, but he was hopelessly out of reach.

Once she realised this, Amy's mouth bent into a frown and she started to whimper louder, tears began to build in her eyes before she started to cry out loudly.

Twilight and I saw this and immediately went to comfort her, Twilight used her magic to pick her up before she placed her in her arms. "Aww, its ok Amy, shhh, its ok." Twilight said as she gently rocked Amy in her arms.

I looked down at Amy with concern before I looked up at Jeff. "Thanks a lot, Jeff." I said with a small glare.

Jeff shrugged. "Hey, its not my fault, all I did was make her sneeze." He claimed as he stayed up in his high spot.

I returned my attention to Amy before I gently stroked her with my hoof. "Its alright Amy, don't cry." I said, hoping it would help Amy calm down.

But with no luck, Amy kept on crying loudly. Twilight frowned before she turned her head to look at me. "Do you wanna try?" she asked curiously.

I looked at her face before I looked back down at Amy. "O-Ok." I said before I sat down and held my arms out to receive Amy. Twilight used her magic to lift Amy back up before gently placing her down in my arms. I realised something, this was the first time I held Amy, she was a little heavier than she looked, I gently held her up to me and placed her against my shoulder. "Its ok Amy, shhh…its ok." I said as I gently rubbed her back with my hoof.

It took a moment or so, but Amy finally started to calm down before she stopped crying. I pulled her away from my shoulder and looked at her in my hooves, Amy sniffed as one last tear ran down her cheek. I smiled lovingly as I used my hoof to wipe it away before I placed a gentle kiss on her head. "Feeling better, sweetheart?" I asked, keeping the smile on my face.

Amy sniffed again before she nuzzled herself against my chest. Twilight and I smiled warmly at this before we looked at each other. "You're good at that." Twilight said.

"So are you, Twi." I said before I looked down at Amy. "Maybe she'd feel better if we took her out for a little while. Rarity and the others might like to see her again." I said, gently stroking Amy's head with my hoof.

"Yeah, maybe they would." Twilight said as she took a step close and stroked Amy's mane with her hoof. Just then, we heard a little grumble noise and looked around confusingly, not recognizing the sound. We soon heard it again and followed the sound down to Amy, whom was clenching her belly with her hooves. "I think she's hungry." she said.

"Ok." I said, nodding at how simple this could be solved. "Do you know where we keep the bottles for her?" I asked, looking up at Twilight curiously.

Twilight gave me a confused look. "Urr…I don't know…where did you put them?" she asked, thinking I'd know better.

"Twi, if I knew where they were, I wouldn't have asked you." I said before I used my free hoof to rub Amy's belly. "I didn't buy any bottles, I thought you did." I said, thinking we had this sorted ages ago.

With that new knowledge, Twilight gasped in shock. "Oh my gosh, we don't have any bottles for Amy, we don't have anything for her. No changing table, not crib, nothing. We're totally unprepared!" she said before she grew a sickly look. "That's never happened to me before…I'm not sure I like the feeling." She said, looking woozy all of a sudden.

Trying to fight back an amused smile from this, I tried to think of a solution for this problem. Twi and I had always talked about buying stuff for Amy early, but we never got around to it and decided to just wait until the due date was close, we never suspected Amy would come so early. "Ok…we can handle this…we still have plenty of time to get everything before it gets late." I said before I looked back down at Amy. "But what do we do with this little beauty?" I asked.

"We'll just take her with us." Twilight said before she looked around the room for something. "Do we even have baby-pouch to carry her in?" she asked before returning her attention to me.

I remained silent for a moment before I sighed heavily. "*Sigh*…I'll carry her until we get one." I said before I sat down and adjusted Amy on my arm so I could carry her properly.

With that decided, Twilight looked over to Spike. "Spike, I have a very important job for you." she said before she used her magic to hover a camera over into his claws. "We need you to take pictures of Amy whenever you think she's doing something for the first time. Like her first outing, her first ice-cream, things like that."

"Urr…ok, sure, I can handle that." Spike said as he held the camera up to his face to look through the lens. He then looked at Amy in my arm and realised that there was a change to take his first picture right there. "Oh, I got one." He said before he quickly took a picture of Amy. "Amy's first time in her PJs." He said, referring to her onesie.

The flash from the camera shot made Amy rub her eyes and she let out a small moan at how uncomfortable it felt.

"Good one, Spike." Twilight said before she returned her attention to me. "Does this mean we should put Discord in charge of the Library until we get back?" she asked curiously.

Suddenly, Discord appeared beside her with his arms crossed. "Well why ask? I mean, don't you all trust me enough to take care of everything while you're gone?" He said before he turned away, like he was sulking. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you guys thought I was going to wreck the place in your absence." He said with a slightly offended look.

Twilight and I looked at each other as we remembered the last time we decided to leave Discord in charge of the Library.

-A week ago-

Twilight and I walked up to the front-door of the Library after spending a romantic night out. Dinner, dancing, you name it. Twilight used her magic to open the front-door and, upon doing so, a giant wave of water burst out of the doorway and washed over the pair of us. As the wave died down, Discord came floating out on a raft. He was wearing ragged clothing and had a large beard, like he had been lost at sea for a long time. Twilight and I were completely soaked, staring at Discord with strong glares. Upon seeing us, Discord gasped in shock. "Matthew? Twilight?...I've been gone for six months, how long was it here?" He asked with a curious yet desperate look in his eyes.

"Not long enough" Twilight stated in a groan as she brushed her dripping wet fringe aside with her hoof, with my only response being spitting a long amount of water out of my mouth like a fountain.

Something suddenly tugged on Discord's tail and he grabbed it with his talon-hand before pulling it upwards, showing Spike hanging from it by his mouth like a fish on a hook.

-present day-

Twilight and I then returned our attention up to Discord. "We have our reasons." I said before I took a step forward. "But anyways, we are going to leave you in charge, but I'm laying down the law...No Chaos Magic! No in-door undersea land, not floating furniture and no vortex to another dimension that could suck in this one and grind it up like fruit in a blender!" I said with firm instruction.

Discord felt like he had all his limbs tied up as he groaned in annoyance. "*Groan* Just rip my heart out and glue my hide-quarters to a bench why don't you?" He said before he crossed his arms and pouted. "Fine..." He groaned.

"Good." I said before I turned my head to face Twilight again. "Ready to go, babe?" I asked as I continued to hold Amy in one arm.

Twilight nodded. "Yep." She said before she turned and started making her way towards the front-door with me and Spike following behind. Once she used her magic to open the door, Twilight, Spike I went through it until we were outside in the open once again.

Amy felt the breeze against her and nuzzled closer to me for warmth. I looked down at her and smiled at this before the three of us started making our way towards Sugar Cube Corner.

As we walked away, Spike walked up to the doorway and waved at us. "See you guys later." He said as he watched us go deeper into town.

Once we were gone, Discord slammed the door and floated over to Jeff and Peewee. "Well now that it's just us guys, why don't we do something thrilling to pass the time? We could go to a night club, the movies, oh! We could go on a pranking spree, I know a certain farm-pony who love what I have in mind." He said with a mischievous grin.

Jeff and Peewee looked at each other with nervous looks, feeling that this was probably going to be another long day.

Later: Sugar Cube Corner

After arriving at Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie wasted no time in picking Amy up in her hooves and giving her enough affection to make anyone feel loved. Pinkie held her in front of her face and smiled widely. "Aww, your just so cutesy-wutesy! Who's a cute little foal? You are, yes you are." She said before she stuck her tongue out at Amy.

Amy giggled at Pinkie's behaviour and stuck the very tip of her tongue out to mimic her.

Twilight and I smiled warmly at the sight of this while Spike held the camera to his face and took a picture of them. "Amy's first time with Aunt Pinkie." He said as he lowered the camera.

"Good job Spike." I said before I returned my attention to Pinkie. "I'm glad she's taking a shine to you, Pinkie. You're gonna be a great aunt for her." I said, walking up to them and stroking Amy's head with my hoof.

"Yeah, I can't wait until she's older, I'll teach her how to bake and then she can sleep over and then we'll eat stuff like candy all night until we burst!" Pinkie said, getting excited by the idea. "In fact, why wait, lets do that tomorrow night!" she said before she looked down at Amy. "What do you think, Amy?" she asked, getting a small laugh from Amy as she clapped her hooves together.

At that moment, Amy was engulfed by Twilight's magic and levitated Amy over to her before placing her on her back. "I…don't think that's such a good idea right now, she's just a day old and we don't want her eating things like candy too early." She said before giving Pinkie a nervous smile.

Pinkie gasped a little at this. "Too young to eat candy?...Never!" she said with a small glare, making us all feel a little uneasy. But soon enough, a smile sprung back up onto her face and zipped over to Twilight. "But she's your kid so I suppose its ok." She said as she tickled Amy under her chin with the tip of her hoof. Suddenly, another large gasp escaped her mouth. "Oh my gosh, I have an awesome idea!" she said before she grabbed Amy with her hooves and zipped across the room, making me and Twi a bit weary of what she might have planned.

Pinkie then stopped near the Cake Twins while still holding Amy in her hooves. "Amy should totally spend some times with Pound and Pumpkin, I bet they be great friends." She said before she placed Amy down near them and stepped back to wait for the results.

Amy looked back at Pinkie before she looked towards Pound and Pumpkin, whom soon took notice of her and stared at her for a moment. It seemed like nothing would happened, until Pound and Pumpkin grew small smiles and crawled over to Amy. Amy soon grew a smile before she decided to meet them half-way. Once they were comfortable around each other, they started to play with some of the toys around them.

Twilight and I continued to watch until our minds were at ease with this, we soon smiled at the fact that Amy was making friends so quickly. "Aww, that's adorable." Twilight said, watching our little Amy play with the Twins.

Spike walked up to Amy and the Twins before he held the camera in front of his face, he then took another picture and lowered the camera. "Amy's first friends, that'll be a good one." He said out-loud.

"Yeah." I said before I turned my head to face Pinkie. "Good idea, Pinkie…" I said before I remembered why we came here. "Oh yeah, I were wanting to ask if Mrs Cake had any spare baby-pouches so we could carry Amy around without holding her." I asked, hoping she would have at least one for us.

"We'd have one already, but with Amy arriving early, we didn't have time to prepare things for her." Twilight explained as she took a step closer.

Pinkie looked at Twilight with a slightly surprised look. "Unprepared? You?...Never thought I'd see something like this, you're the most prepare-iest pony I've ever met." She said, gaining a sheepish smile from Twilight. "But yeah, I think there's one around her somewhere, let me go look." Pinkie said before she bounced into the kitchen to search for a spare pouch.

While she was gone, Twilight and I returned our attention to Amy as she continued to play with the Twins. Pumpkin and Amy stared down at a stuffed bear on the floor. Pumpkin then closed her eyes as her horn glowed a little, and soon enough the bear was engulfed in the magic and was lifted off the floor.

Amy watched in awe as the bear floated around her. She smiled at the sight before she closed her eyes and groaned as she tried to do the same. After a few attempts, there was nothing, but then she tried harder and surprisingly a light blue aria started to flicker around her small horn, and it wasn't long before it completely took effect and Pound was engulfed in light blue magic. Pound stared confusingly at he was slowly lifted off the ground and into the air until he was hovering around with the bear.

Twilight and I stared at this with shock and awe, finding the fact that Amy had already started using magic was a lot to take in. "Amy…is doing magic?...She can do magic!" I said before looking down at Amy with a smile growing on my face.

Twilight looked at her as well before she gave her a proud smile. "Oh, that's my girl…she's learning fast, just like I did." She said before she wiped a single proud tear from her eye.

Spike stared up at what Amy was doing before he held the camera up, too busy staring at the floating colt to look through the lens. "Amy's first…spell?" he said before he took the picture.

The flash from the camera caught Amy's eyes again and she was forced to rub them with her hooves. Unfortunately, this made her lose concentration of her spell and made her drop Pound. Twilight and I gasped at the sight of Pound falling, but Twilight quickly caught him with her own magic before he could hit the floor, making us both exhale in relief.

Twilight then placed Pound gently back down onto the floor before she picked Amy up in her magic and brought her over to us, Twilight looked at Amy with concern before she placed her onto her back. "I think we should keep Amy with us for a little while." she said.

"I think you're right." I said, thinking how much of a close call that was. "But we can't really blame her. Like you said, she's only a day old." I said as I looked at Amy crawl along Twilight's back towards the back of her neck.

"I know, but I forgot how much damage a baby Unicorn can do, they have unpredictable magic which can even get unstable if not treated properly." Twilight said as Amy started playing with the back of her mane.

"Hmm…I suppose you're right." I said before I turned my attention to Amy, I placed my hoof on her back and gently rubbed it. "If she's this much trouble at this age, I can't wait to see what she's like when she becomes a teenager." I said, imagining a possible future full of boy-band posters and loud funky music.

Twilight shivered at the thought. "Urr, I don't." she said, probably imagining the same thing before she turned her head around to look back at Amy. "We'll just need to keep a closer eye on her until we can teach her to control her magic." She said.

"If that's what you think we should do, I'm with you." I said before I sat down on the floor and waited for Pinkie to return from her search.

After a few minutes of waiting and stopping Amy from lifting things up with her magic, Pinkie returned into the room with a baby-pouch fit for just one foal. "Here you go, guys. Mrs Cake had one left in case any of the others broke, but she said you guys could have it." she said as she brought it over to us with the pouch on her back. By the looks of it, the belt of the pouch was designed to attach around a pony's body while the pouch itself hung from the right-side of the said pony.

"Thanks Pinkie." Twilight said before she used her magic to lift the pouch off Pinkie's body. Using the same magic, she lifted Amy off her back and placed her down on the floor before she attached the pouch to her body, she then picked up Amy again and gently lowered her down into the pouch until she was perfectly settled inside it.

Twilight and I looked at her as she got snug in the pouch, she seemed to like it, and knowing Amy would now be in a secure state every time we'd take her out with us put us both at ease. Spike was quick to come up to use and take another picture of Amy. "Amy's first time in her pouch." He said as he lowered the camera.

Twilight turned her head back around to face Pinkie. "Its perfect, Pinkie. Thank you so much." She said before she took a step towards Pinkie and wrapped her arm around her to hug her, which Pinkie happily returned.

"Well if you guys ever need anything else from us, feel free to ask any time." Pinkie said before she and Twilight separated. "And if you ever need a foal-sitter, I'm always available…unless I'm caught up taking care of the Twins. You know what, why wait? Wanna pencil me in for a certain date?" she asked as she held up a notepad and the curl at the end of her fringe went into her mane and pulled out a pencil, ready to write down a date.

"We'll keep it in mind, Pinkie, but we're good for now." Twilight said. "We'll be sure to let you know if we ever need your help with things like that." She said with a small smile.

"Ok then." Pinkie said as the curl in her hair tucked the pencil back into her mane. "Well would you guys like some muffins or anything before you go? We seem to be over-stocked and I can only eat so much before I go into a snack-coma." She said with a bright smile. "I did suggest we start feeding some to the foals, but Mr Cake said they were still too young to eat so much stuff like cake and cupcakes. If you want my opinion, no-one's too young for cakes." She said before she picked up a cupcake and chomped it up in one big bite.

I took a step forward until I was standing beside Twilight. "We would take some, Pinkie, but we don't really need any right now." I said before I turned my head to face Twilight. "Besides, we really need to be going, we still need to get Amy a crib and stuff." I said.

"Ok, well I hope everything works out for you both." Pinkie said before she noticed two random ponies enter the store. "Hi, welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, can I help you?" she said as she hopped over towards them.

With Pinkie now focused on that, we all took our leave and left Sugar Cube Corner. Once we were outside, I turned to look at Amy in the pouch and saw that the breeze didn't bother her anymore, the pouch must be keeping her warmer than the onesie did. "Amy looks comfy." I said, giving her a warm smile.

Twilight turned her head around to look down at Amy, seeing her happy in the pouch made Twilight grow the same smile. "Yeah, she is." She said before she turned her attention to me. "Do you think we have time to get a crib for her?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I used to spend a little bit of time in that shop during my work hours, I saw a good one that might be perfect for her. The shop has different closing times for each day, sometimes it closes early, other times it closes later. I think it closes at a later time today." I said, rubbing my chin with my hoof as I trying to remember the exact closing time for the shop.

"Ok, well let's get over there and see this crib you're talking about." Twilight said before she started walking ahead towards a street.

As I started following her, Spike walked up beside me with the camera still in hand. "Are you sure the store is still open? I mean, I've lived here for a long time and the stores tend to close early on this day of the week." He said, giving me a slightly concerned look.

We kept walking as I turned my head to look down at him. "Well I hope so, otherwise we're in big trouble." I said before I returned to facing forward as we kept following Twilight down the street.

-A few minutes later-

"We're in big trouble." I said, looking stressfully at the closed sign hanging from behind the locked door of the crib store. Apparently I had it wrong, the stores did in fact close early today. "So is this the part where I feel like a complete idiot?" I asked as I turned my head to face Twilight, whom was giving the sign the same stressed look.

"No." Twilight answered as she shook her head, still staring at the sign.

"Yes." Spike also answered as he nodded his head, also staring at the sign while standing between us.

Twilight was quick to shoot a sharp glare down at him before she looked up at me with a calmer look. "Don't worry, Matt, you couldn't have known about this." She said, trying to help me feel better.

I turned my head to face her with self-ashamed look, still feeling like I messed up. "I know, but I should've. I've been coming here for weeks, I thought I had learned the open times properly. And now Amy doesn't have a crib and won't have one until tomorrow, I should've bought one ages ago." I said before my ears lowered, feeling like I really suck as a dad so far.

Twilight made her way over to me before she placed her hoof on my shoulder. "I feel the same way, Matt, but we can't give up. This can't be the only place in Ponyville that has cribs." She said before a thought suddenly came into mind. "What about Applejack? If we can't buy one, maybe she can help make us one. You know how good she is with tools." She said, a smile of hope growing on her face.

Her hope was leaking out onto me as the same smile grew onto my face as well. "Twilight, that's brilliant! You're a genius." I said as my wings fluttered a little.

Twilight gave me a cheeky smirk. "You're just realising this now?" she asked.

I returned her smirk before I turned away from the store. "Ok, lets head over to Sweet Apple Acres. But we have to be quick, it won't be long before it gets dark." I said.

With that, the four of us started making our way down the street to head to Sweet Apple Acres, hoping that Applejack would be able to help us get a crib for Amy before it was too late.

Meanwhile: Luna's castle

Night Thunder paced back and forth in the empty throne room, mumbling to himself with a nervous look on his face. Lately, he had been thinking a lot about what Star Beam said the last time they saw each other, how he said that if he wanted anything to happen between him, he'd have to spend more time with her. But the question was how? How do you entertain the Princess of the Night?

"Princess Luna, you look nice this evening…" Night said to himself before he sighed heavily. "No, that won't work, stupid." He whispered before he tried again. "Princess Luna, you look…lovely…this evening. What am I doing in here alone? Oh, nothing, just making sure it was safe for your arrival. You'd know I'd throw down my life for you." he rehearsed before he frowned. "Huh, not really something one would say so soon." He groaned, feeling as though he was screwing this up.

Suddenly, the doors opened and Luna walked in, she was wearing a light blue night-gown and noticed Night standing in the centre of the room. "Night Thunder, this is a pleasant surprise, I thought you would be in the training ground with the others."

Due to the sudden appearance of the Princess, Night spun around to face her with wide-eyes. "Princess Luna!...urr…you look nice, urr, lovely this evening and…urr…I'd give my life for you!" he blurted out before he managed to shut himself up.

Luna gave him a confused look as she walked over to him. "Urr…thank you, I am just wearing my night-gown because I thought it felt cold today." She said before she stopped in front of him. "As for the other statement…I…guess I appreciate that, though I hope it doesn't come to pass." She said, not sure to be flattered or concerned over that.

Night sighed heavily before he gave Luna a look of sorrow. "Apologies, your highness, I don't know why I freaked out like that." He said before he bowed his head. "Please forgive me."

Luna gave him a gentle smile. "No need for apologies." She said before she walked past him and went over to her throne. "But I do wonder, why are you in here all alone? Usually I see you with Brave Star or Dusk." she said before she walked to her throne and sat down upon it.

Night walked over to her and stopped in front of her throne. "Oh…well…I was just making sure it was safe, your highness. You know I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you while on my watch." He said before he looked down at the floor. "Also…I guess I just wanted some time alone…to think about things."

Luna titled her head with curiosity. "Mind if I ask what you were thinking about?" she asked. "If it's a problem with such things as bad dreams, I could probably help." She said, offering her aid.

Night looked back up at her and shook his head. "No, no, nothing like that…" he said before his body-temperature rose and he blushed hard. "You see…t-there's…this girl I like…but I feel I may not be good enough for her. You see, she's…kind of an important pony, and I'm…just a rookie guard." He said, knowing a girl like Luna would never go for a guy like him.

Luna was silent for a moment before she answered. "Oh…well…I am not exactly an expert on such a thing. But I would suggest you find this girl's interests, things that make her happy, and use them to please her." she suggested, hoping it would be useful advice.

Night looked at her with wonder. "Do you…really think that would work?" he asked curiously.

"I know it would work for me." Luna said, thinking how she would feel if the future stallion of her dreams would did things to make her smile.

Hearing that, Night smiled widely. "Really?!..." he blurted out before he held his hoof to his mouth and cleared his throat. "I mean, thank you, your highness. You've been very helpful." He said, placing his hoof back down on the floor.

Luna smiled kindly. "You are very welcome, Night Thunder. Is there anything else you would like to talk to me about? Maybe you could tell me who this mare is. Do I know her?" she asked, her small smile turning into a nosey smirk.

Night chuckled. "Yeah, I'd say you do." he said before he gave Luna a warm smile.

Luna then stood up off her throne and walked down towards him. "Really?" she asked with a curious look. "Can you tell me who she is?" she asked while images of a few mares she knew ran through her mind.

Night was silent as he looked deep into Luna's eyes, the shimmering beauty and sparkle in them were enough to out-shine every one of her marvellous stars. And he would know, because he spends one hour every night staring up at her dazzling night sky to appreciate the wonder she worked so hard to make. "Lets just say…she's the most beautiful…amazing…and most interesting girl I've ever met…who deserves every bit of happiness she can get." He said, spilling his heart out to her, even though she didn't know he was referring to her.

Luna was speechless, the only time she had heard such kind words about another mare was when she was around me and Twilight. "Oh...she sounds like a nice girl. I hope everything works out for you both." She said.

Night chuckled with a small fake smile. "Yeah...me too." He said before his true face showed, a frowning one. "Yeah right, like it'll ever happen." He said in his mind before he put his fake smile back on. "Well anyway, my personal life isn't that important…is there anything you would like me to bring you, your highness? A coffee or something?" he asked curiously, wanting to end the subject.

Luna was silent for a moment before she decided to go along with it. "Yes…I would like a hot coffee please." She said with a small smile.

Night gave her a warm smile before he bowed his head. "As she wish." He said before he turned and made his way towards the throne room exit.

But as Night was about to leave the room. "Night!" Luna called, making him quickly turned his head around to look back at her. "Your personal life is important…if you ever want to talk some more, know that I am always here to listen." She said with a sweet smile.

Night returned it. "Thank you, Princess." He said before he turned his head back around and left the throne room to fetch Luna her coffee, feeling as though he had gained a new friend in the castle.

Meanwhile: Sweet Apple Acres

After arriving at Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was quick to greet us, especially Amy. After just a few minutes, Amy grew an instant attachment to her.

Applejack sat on the floor in the barn as she held Amy in her arms, Amy giggled and kicked her legs as Applejack tickled her hoof against her belly. "Aww, ain't you just the cutest little thing?" Applejack said with a warm smile as she continued her tickling. Twilight and I smiled at the sight of this. She was barely a day old, yet Amy was getting a lot of love, and she loved it. Applejack looked up at us with the smile stuck to her face. "You guys have got somethin' real special here." she said before she got up and walked over to us with Amy cupped in her arm.

Twilight's horn glowed and Amy was lifted out of Applejack's arm and placed her back in her pouch. "Thanks Applejack." She said before she decided to bring up the reason why we were here. "But we have a little problem that we hoped you could help us out with." she said with a sheepish smile.

Applejack gave her a curious look. "Oh yeah? What's the problem?" she asked with wonder.

Twilight and I looked at each other before we returned our attention to Applejack and just came out with it. "Due to Amy's…sudden…arrival, we haven't had a chance to buy anything for her. We don't have a crib, a bottle, or even any diapers for her. The only thing we have is this pouch, and its not even ours, we borrowed it from Mrs Cake." I said as I looked down at Amy and rubbed her head gently with my hoof.

"Even though Matt and Twilight are always the over-prepared type." Spike said. "Funny, they're more than prepared for tests or things like that, but they're not prepared for taking care of their own daughter?" he said, getting firm glares from the two of us. "What?" he said while shrugging his shoulders.

Applejack raised an eye-brow as she also looked at Amy. "Well its sounds like you're both in a bigger pickle than a hogtied Jackalope." She said before she turned her attention to me. "If there's anything we here at Sweet Apple Acres can do to help ya, feel free to ask." She said with a kind smile.

Twilight and I looked at each other before we looked at her with large grins. "Actually…there is one thing you could do…do you think you can make us a crib for Amy?" Twilight said, the both of us hoping she'd agree to do it.

Applejack was a little surprised by this, but it wasn't much of a major request to her. With all the trees they have, Applejack and her family make things from wood all the time. Applejack gave us a small smile. "Is that all? Sure, I can make you guys a crib, what kind of god-mother would I be if I didn't?" she said.

With that, Twilight and I smiled widely at this. It looked like Amy would get her crib by tonight after all. "That's great! Thanks Applejack, this means so much to us." Twilight said before she took a step towards Applejack. "When should we come pick it up?" she asked curiously.

Applejack's eyes shifted downward as she tried to think of an answer. "Hmm…well if I'm makin' a wild guess, I'd say somewhere around Friday." She answered before she turned and walked over to her crafting table.

Our smiles instantly went away and we shifted our eyes to look at each other again, we then returned our attention to Applejack. "Friday?" I asked as I started walking over to her. "But its Saturday, you're talking about Friday next week…" I said, knowing what this meant.

"Yep." Applejack said before she grabbed a large piece of paper with her mouth and placed it down on the table, she then grabbed a pencil and started drawing designs for the crib.

"But…umm…that's the thing." I said as I rubbed the back of my neck with my hoof. "We kinda need it for…tonight." I finished, taking a few steps back to be courteous of her reaction.

Applejack then spun around and dropped the pencil onto the floor. "What?!" she said in slight shock.

My ears dropped at this reaction. "Sorry Applejack, its just we need a crib for tonight, otherwise Amy is gonna spend her first night with us in a box." I said, trying not to laugh at the image of Amy poking her head out of cardboard box.

"Well, I understand that, but I don't think I can make a crib that fast. The quickest I can do is Thursday at the least." Applejack stated, unconfident in her crafting abilities to make a crib so soon. She then looked around the room like she was looking for something. "But I'm pretty sure Applebloom's old crib is around her somewhere. Hold tight, I'm gonna look for it for ya." She said, wanting to be helpful in any way.

But before she had a chance to look, I raised my hoof up. "No, its ok. If Applebloom's crib is in here, its probably all dusty and covered in webs." I said, feeling disgusted by the thought. "Amy can't sleep in that, even if we clean it by hosing it down." I said, giving my honest thought.

Applejack didn't bother staring her search and gave me a look of sorrow. "Sorry…but I just don't think I can do it." she said before she gave us a hopeful smile. "But hey, you've gotten outta worse scrapes than this, I'm sure you'll figure somethin' out." She said with full confidence.

Twilight and I looked at each other again and realised that she was right. We have gotten out of worse than this. If there was a solution to this, we'd find it. I turned my head back around to face Applejack again. "I hope so, Applejack. I just hope no-one looks down at us because we couldn't provide for your foal." I said, feeling like I was making a bad first impression as a dad.

"No-one can blame either of ya for the foal comin' early." Applejack said before she patted my shoulder with her hoof. "But I know you and Twilight like the back of my hoof. If anyone is gonna be a good provider for Amy in the future, it's you two." she said with a warm smile.

Twilight came over to us and we both returned this smile. "Thanks Applejack, that means a lot." Twilight said before she looked at me. "You know, we do have a few spare pillows and blankets around the Library…maybe Amy could, you know, sleep with us just for tonight…then tomorrow, we can go buy her a crib." She said, trying to take Applejack's advice and come up with a new plan.

I looked at her and thought about it. In a way, Twilight had a good idea. I suppose it wouldn't hurt for Amy to sleep in our bed for just one night. "I guess we can work with that." I said, feeling about sketchy about the idea, but it was the best idea we could get right now.

"See, you guys are already handlin' it." Applejack said, watching us work this out. "But if ya still want me to make that crib, I'm still willin' to help. It's no hassle." She said.

I returned my attention to her before I thought about it. "Hmm…well let's just see how things go tomorrow and I'll get back to you on that." I said, thinking I should see what the store would provide before we'd trouble her with this task.

"Sure." Applejack said with a single nod. "Well if this whole thing is wrapped up, I gotta train for the Equestria Rodeo competition. I'll be representing Ponyville and hopefully I'll win the blue ribbon." She said before she walked past us to make her way out of the barn.

"Ok, well good luck with that." I said as I watched her leave us. Once she was gone, I looked down at Amy in Twilight's pouch and smirked. "You're gonna be hoof-full, aren't you?" I asked, getting only a giggle as she reached her hooves up to me.

Twilight giggled at this before she looked up at my face. "So do you wanna go home and work something out for her?" she asked before she walked past me and started making her way out of the farm. "I think she's had more than enough fresh air for one day." she said.

I chuckled before Spike and I started following her. "Lead the way." I said before my eyes trailed down to her flank. "I'm right behind you…" I said in a low tone as a smirk grew on my face.

Hearing the way I was talking, Twilight's horn glowed before I suddenly vanished in a flash of light and reappeared beside her. "We have a foal with us, try to keep that kind of thing tucked in until we're alone." She said with a small smirk as she kept walking.

I groaned in disappointment as my ears lowered. "Aww…spoil sport." I said with a pout as I continued to walk along side Twilight as we left Sweet Apple Acres and made our way back to town.

Later than evening: Library

As the sun started to set, Twilight Spike, and I returned to the Library with Amy still riding in the pouch. Along the way back, I had time to think about all this. Maybe we made too big a deal out of this, maybe we should've thought of the idea of Amy sleeping with just for tonight straight away. "So you're really ok with Amy sleeping with us tonight?" Twilight asked, looking at me as we approached the Library.

I turned my head to face her and nodded. "Yeah…as long as she doesn't puke on us in the night, I'll be fine. Haha." I laughed, getting a small laugh out of Twilight.

"*Giggle* Yeah, that would be quite the wake-up call." Twilight said. "But don't worry, it's just for tonight…besides, maybe it'll be good for us, it'll show Amy that we really care for her with all our hearts." She said while looking down at Amy, enjoying being carried in the pouch.

"I suppose so." I said before we finally reached the front-door to the Library. Twilight used her magic to open the door and we walked inside. "I still can't believe we made such a big deal out of this." I said, laughing at the thought of how we were acting.

"I know, we were crazy." Twilight said as she closed the door with her magic.

"Tell me about it." Spike said as he took the camera and placed it down on a table. "I mean, you even resorted to borrowing stuff from Mrs Cake, that's just pathetic." He said, laughing a little at the thought of it.

"Yeah." I said before I looked over to Twilight. "I guess we just wanted to make a good first impression as parents and wanted it all to be perfect. But as we get deeper into parenthood, we're gonna learn than not everything will be perfect, Amy's probably gonna make things hard for us at times and make us do crazy stuff like this." I said, walking over to Twilight and using one of my wings to pull her closer to me. "But we'll deal with them together because we'll do anything for Amy, right?" I asked with a small smile.

Twilight returned the smile and nodded. "Absolutely." She said before she stared into my eyes lovingly. "I love you, Matt." she said sweetly.

"I love you too, Twi." I said before we leaned towards each other and shared a loving kiss.

Spike, seeing this, gagged. "Ah, get a room, you two." he groaned, looking away before he started making his way towards the kitchen. "I'm gonna get a snack, I've barely eaten all day. Do we still have any of those rubies left?" he said as he disappeared into the kitchen.

But Twilight and I didn't hear him, we were too busy enjoying each other embrace and the magic our kiss gave us both. But it didn't last long due to a sudden surprise. "I agree with the little dragon, please get a room." a voice said, making us separate.

Twilight and I then looked up to where the voice came from and saw Discord lying up-side-down on the ceiling, there was a pillow planted right between his arms, meaning he must've been napping up there. "Discord, what are you doing up there?" I asked curiously, feeling a bit nauseous by staring at him in this position.

"And where are Jeff and Peewee?" Twilight asked, looking around for the two birds.

"To answer both questions…I was up here having a nice nap until I was woken up by your return, and the two feather friends are in the broom closet." Discord answered before he rested his head on his billow and closed his eyes. "Now if you'll excuse me, this face doesn't get this beautiful without beauty sleep." he said before an eye-mask appeared on his face and he tried to get more sleep.

Confused, I looked over to the broom closet and started making my way over to it. "You locked them in a broom closet? I don't think I want to know why you-" I said before I grabbed the doorknob of the closet and opened it, were I was immediately greeted with an explosion of confetti and bright colourful lights, forcing me to close my eyes.

Once I was able to open them, I looked to see the broom closet had been transformed into a larger room, with bright lights, raining confetti and a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. Jeff and Peewee were in the centre of the room, dancing to the music playing in the background with sombrero and maracas. "Yeah! This is the groove of a lifetime!" Jeff said with glee as he shook his pair of maracas.

I continued to stare at this with confusion before I realised what must've happened, Discord must've used his magic to do this. I spun around and looked back up at Discord with firm eyes. "Discord, I thought we told you not to do things like this while we were gone!" I said.

Discord used his talon-hand to peel off the eye-mask to look down at me. "Actually, you said you I couldn't use my magic in the library…last I checked, that was a closet, no major problem there." he said before her gently floated down from the ceiling and landed properly on his feet.

I continued to give him a firm look as I thought about it. I hated to admit it, but he had a point, we did only say he couldn't use his magic in the Library, we didn't say anything about a closet. "*Grumble*…Ah, you got around that one this time." I mumbled before I returned my attention to the closet party. "Guys!" I called.

With that, Jeff and Peewee stopped dancing and looked over to me. "Matt! You're back! You're just in time for the Piñata." Jeff said before a piñata in the shape of Thorn dropped from the ceiling and dangled between him and Peewee.

"As tempting as that sounds, the parties over, can you both please come out of the clos-" I stopped that sentence once I realised where that sentence was going. "I mean, come out of that room." I said, feeling like I dodged a bullet there.

"Aww." Jeff said before he and Peewee came out of the room, suckling like two kids that couldn't stay up for the night.

Once they were out, I was about to ask Discord to turn the room back to normal, but suddenly Pinkie Pie came out of the room with streamers on her back and a lamp-shade on her head. "Party pooper." She said to me before she walked past and joined the others.

I stared at her with confusion. "Pinkie, what are you doing here?" I asked curiously.

Pinkie used her hoof to raise the lamp-shade off her head and looked at me. "Are you kidding me? When there's a party, I'm straight there. Even if it's a party held in the closet of one of my closest friends." She said with a bright smile on her face before she turned and started making her way towards the exit. "Ok, well I'll see you guys later." She said before she stopped beside Twilight and looked down at Amy. "And I'll see you very soon, you little cutie." She said as she tussled Amy's mane, getting a giggle out of Amy before she continued to leave the Library.

After Pinkie left, I threw my eyes with an amused smile on my face before I looked over to Discord. "Discord, can you please turn the closet back to normal?" I asked calmly.

Discord sighed heavily. "Fine…way to crash the party, Matt." he said before he snapped his fingers. With one flash of light, the closet returned to normal, a small room with brooms, mops and a bucket inside.

And then right on cue, one of the brooms fell out of the closet and the handle hit me right on the head. "Ow!" I said as I rubbed my head with my hoof. I then looked down at the broom and grabbed it with my hoof before I put it back in the closet and closed the door.

But once I closed the door, I saw Discord's face carved into the wood of the door. "So, did you get everything you were looking for in town?" he asked with a small grin.

I took a few steps back before I sigh. "*Sigh* No, we couldn't get anything for Amy. All we could get was that pouch Twilight's carrying her in, and we had to borrow it from Mrs Cake." I explained as I looked back at Amy in the pouch, watching us with interest.

Discord's face then sunk into the door before it suddenly swung open again, allowing Discord to walk out from behind it. "Well that won't do at all." He said, walking past me as he stroked his beard, all the while the same broom fell out of the closet again and hit me on the head again. "No crib, no bottle, no stroller, no anything. If I was to say my mind, I'd say you're not really very good at this job." He said as he stopped between me and Twilight.

I placed the broom back in the closet before I closed the door again. Once that was done, I turned around to face him. "We did plan on buying things for her, but we didn't get a chance because of-"

Discord's head then lowered down, up-side-down, in front of me. "Because Amy arrived earlier than expected, how many times have you said that today?" He said, cutting me off. He then dropped down onto the floor in front of me until he looked like a curled up snake, he then rose up like a charmed snake until he was standing up straight. "Well if you ask me, its probably good that you couldn't get anything for her." he said.

"How is that a good thing?" Twilight asked with a raised eye-brow as she walked over to us. "Amy's gonna have to sleep in our bed until we can get her a crib tomorrow." She said, giving Discord a curious look.

Discord looked down at her and smirked. "Oh Twilight, as clueless as ever." He said as he reached his lion-hand down at her and flung her horn with his finger. "As godfather to this little flower." He tickled Amy under her chin with his finger. "I have to do my best to provide things she might need, so I decided to take the responsibility to set up her room." he said proudly as he rose back up straight.

Upon hearing that, I instantly remembered all the dangerous and kinda weird stuff I saw him put in Amy's room earlier and grew a panicked look. "Urr, yeah, about that…I don't think it's a good idea to-"

"Shall we go up and see my handy work? I'd say its my best work yet." Discord said, cutting me off again as he stepped in front of me, blocking me from Twi's view.

"Urr…sure, Discord." Twilight answered. "There's not anything…dangerous in there, is there?" She asked with a bit of a concerned look.

Discord gave her a look of slight surprise. "In dear Amy's room? Pfff! Of course not!" He said before he flapped his wings and started hovering in the air. "I guaranty you, this work is perfectly fine for all of Amy's needs." He said as he started hovering towards the stairs with Twilight following behind with Amy.

I watched them start to go up the stairs and became more worried. If Twilight saw all the things Discord put in there earlier, she's going to flip. I quickly ran towards the stairs and followed them up. Once I was up to the next floor, I looked up at where the guest room was and saw that they were already approaching the door to it. Within a few seconds, I flew up towards them and stood between them and the door. "Wait! You can't go in there!" I said loudly, trying to stop them.

Discord and Twilight gave me a confused look. "Why not?" Twilight asked with a raised eye brow.

"Because…urr…" I said, trying to think of an excuse. I knew I couldn't tell Twilight why she couldn't look, so I had to make something else up. "Urr…I think I can still hear some construction in there." I said before I pressed my ear against the door and pretended to listen. "Yep, definitely something going on in there…is than a drill I can hear?" I said, hoping she would fall for it.

But instead of getting a response, Discord's tail wrapped around my body and raised me up until I was at the same eye-level as him. "Oh don't be ridiculous, Matthew, construction in there stopped hours ago." He said before he carried me over to Twilight and dropped me beside her.

Once I was back on my hooves, I turned to look at the door with my worried look back on my face. Twilight looked at me with confusion before she returned her attention to Discord whom was approaching the door. "Alright my friends, prepare yourself for my first gift to little Amy." He said as he grabbed the doorknob with his talon hand.

As I saw Discord turn the knob and the door made a click sound, I closed my eyes tightly and prepared for Twilight's freak out. I became tenser as I heard the door creak open slowly. And upon a moment later, I heard Twilight give out a gasp. "Discord!...This….This…This is perfect!" she said with glee.

Upon hearing that, I opened my eyes and looked at Twilight to see the large smile on her face. I then turned my attention to the room and my jaw dropped at the sight that beheld in front of me.

The guest room had been completely redecorated from top the bottom. The walls had be painted light-blue and the floor had a soft white carpet. Twilight and I entered the room to have a better look at the inside.

There was a beautifully made wooden crib at the end of the room, a small play-pen in one of the corners with some plus toys inside, and there was a diaper changing table by the wall. I then looked over to the window by the crib, it had been completely changed. Instead of being a plain round window, it was now a round stained window with an image me and Twilight huddling up with Amy between us.

All and all, this room was truly amazing. It was the perfect room for Amy. With my jaw still hanging, I turned to look up at Discord. "Discord…you did all of this…for us?" I asked, almost speechless.

Discord looked down at me with a smirk on his face and his arms crossed. "Yes…but I did it for Amy as well." He said before a light-bulb appeared on his head. "Oh, I almost forgot!" he said before he snapped his fingers.

Then, against one of the walls, a white sink appeared. "I know what you're thinking? Why a sink? Well let me show you." Discord said before he walked over to it and turned the handle of one of the taps. Once he did, white liquid started rushing out of it. "It provides very clean and very safe drinking milk, both cold and warm." He said before he turned off the tap. "And to go with it." He said before he snapped his fingers again before a baby bottle appeared in the air beside him, it was see-through and had Amy's name printed in gold on it. He then placed it down on the counter on the sink.

Twilight and I were left with our jaws dropped and eyes wide. "Discord…this is amazing! I can't believe you did this." Twilight said as she looked around the room.

"Well I have to be a good provider from my god-daughter, don't I?" Discord said before he walked over to the crib. "Here's a little something I put together myself." he said before he pressed a small Button behind the head-rest of the crib.

With that, seven small objects appeared above the crib and slowly rotated within the air. The objects were coloured crystals in the shape of each of our Cutie Marks. A light purpled one for Twilight's, a green one for mine, a dark purpled one for Rarity's, an orange one for Applejack's, a light-blue one for Pinkie's, a pink one for Fluttershy's, and a red one for Rainbow's.

Twilight and I got the idea that it was a mobile for Amy to stare at while she tried to sleep, it was like the crystals danced in the air for her. "That's beautiful." Twilight said as she watched the crystals.

"You've seen nothing yet." Discord said before he clapped his hands and the light of the room went off. Once it was dark, the lamp on a small table shined before a small light flashed from it. Within that moment, the room was full of realistic stars that actually moved and shined, it was like we were in space itself.

Twilight and I watched as the stars shined and shooting stars shot by out of no-where. "Discord…this all perfect for Amy." I said before I turned to face him. "I can't thank you enough for all of this." I said.

Discord clapped his hands again before the light's came back on and all the stars and stuff were literally sucked back into the lamp. "Get me back on Celestia's good side, and we're even." He said with a small smile.

I flapped my wings and flew up to his level with a large thankful smile on my face. "Deal." I said before I held my hoof up to Discord, which he bumped with his lion-hand. But suddenly, a thought came into my mind. "Wait, I saw you bring stuff like a volcano and a piranha in here, what happened to all of that?" I asked.

"That stuff?" Discord asked with his arms once again crossed. "Oh, there was a mix up with the deliveries. All that stuff was supposed to go to my place…typical delivery service, always messing things up." he said, thinking back at how much of a struggle it was.

"But all those guys were you." I said in confusion, but got no response from Discord.

Meanwhile, Twilight looked down at Amy in the pouch and smiled. "How do you like your room, Amy?" Twilight asked as she used her magic to pick Amy up out of the pouch and placed her down on the floor.

I, dropped the Discord subject, lowered back down to the floor and watched Amy to see her reaction. Amy looked around with confusion before she felt the carpet with her hoof. Feeling the softness, Amy giggled as she started rolling around on it, making us both smile with please. "Looks like she loves it." I say as I walked over to Twilight.

"All of this is so perfect." Twilight said before she looked up at Discord. "Thank you so much for all of this." She said, walking over to him.

"Don't mention it." Discord said before he walked past us and made his way towards the door. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have been so hard at work doing all this that I missed lunch, I'm going to get a well-deserved meal." He said before he left the room, leaving me and Twilight alone with Amy.

As we then returned our attention to Amy, whom was still studying the room, Discord's head suddenly appeared between us again, startling us. "Maybe Amy should get the same." He said before he disappeared in a flash of light.

Once he was gone, Twilight and I looked at each other in confusion. "What did he mean by that?" I asked, wondering what he meant.

After a second, Twilight's eyes widened. "Oh my gosh, Amy hasn't eaten all day!" she said before she walked over to Amy and picked her up in her arms. "Matt, can you used that sink to fill up her bottle?" she asked as she cradled Amy in her arms.

"Coming right up!" I said before I went over to the sink and started to fill Amy's new bottle with milk. "Urr…warm or cold?" I asked, looking back at Twilight and getting a heavy sigh from her.

That night

After feeding Amy and spending the rest of the day tending to her, it was finally time to put her to bed for the first time and end the first day with her. Twilight and I managed to get her into her crib and made sure she fell asleep before we went to our own bed.

Spike slept in his basket, Jeff and Peewee slept on their bird-stand, and Discord slept down-stairs in a cloud hamper. Twilight and I laid in our bed and recapped the day. "Well…today was…interesting." Twilight said, staring up at the ceiling.

"Yeah…but so far, we suck at this." I said, not beating around the bush and getting straight to the true results.

"*Groan* I know!" Twilight groaned with her hooves covering her eyes. "We should've been prepared! We should've got everything Amy needed! How are we gonna be ready for the tough stuff if we're not prepared for the easy stuff?" She said, slamming her arms down on the bed.

I turned my head to face Twilight and gave her a small smile. "We might not be…but if today's taught us anything, its this…no matter what happens, whether we're prepared or not, we can handle it together and find a way to deal with it." I said, giving her a sweet smile.

Twilight turned her head to face me and returned my smile. "I know we will…its just…I think we're so used to not having a foal, that its gonna be hard getting used to it." she said.

"I know what you mean." I replied. "Amy's a foal, she's gonna be hard to deal with, especially since she's a Unicorn, but we'll always help each other out with her." I said with a gentle tone.

"I know we will." Twilight said before she moved closer to me. "And it'll all be worth it because in the end, whether she's a troublesome Unicorn or not, Amy's our daughter and we'll always show her the love and care any two parents can provide." She said.

"We'll never give any less than that." I said before I stared into Twilight's eyes and smiled lovingly. "I love you, Twilight." I said with passion in my voice.

"I love you too, Matt." Twilight responded before we both leaned towards each other and prepared to kiss, but before we could.

*Cries*

Twilight and I stopped inches away from each other and opened our eyes. "Oh…that class gag." I said with a slightly amused smiled before I leaned up on the bed. "I've got her." I said before I sluggishly climbed out of bed and made my way towards Amy's room.

Once I reached it, I opened the door and once again saw all the stars surrounding the inside of the room. I looked over to the crib and saw Amy kicking her hooves around while crying.

I clapped my hooves together before the light suddenly came on, making the stars retreat back into the lamp. I walked over to the crib and lowered one of the crib walls down and looked down at Amy. "Hey sweetheart, what's the problem?" I said as I reached my hooves down to her and picked her up.

Amy continued to cry as I rested her on my shoulder and rubbed her back. "It's ok, shhh…I'm here, daddy's here." I said gently as I continued to cuddle Amy.

Amy's crying died down a little, but she still whimpered as I moved her away from my shoulder and cradled her in my arms. "See, its not so bad." I said before I got up and walked over to the milk sink while holding Amy in one arm.

Once there, I filled Amy's bottle with warm milk before I started to feed her with it. I sat her, watching Amy drink the milk slowly, I smiled down and how beautiful she was, even when she was sucking on this bottle. After she was finished, I carried her back over to the crib and placed her down in it. "Feel better now?" I asked.

Amy didn't respond, the only thing she did was grab her tail with her hooves and start gnawing on the end of it, like Spike did after he hatched. I smiled warmly at this before I reached down at gently stroked her head. "Yeah, you're good now." I said before I raised the crib wall back up and stepped away from the crib before I started making my way towards the door.

But before I could reach it, I heard whimpering again, I turned my head around and looked to see Amy staring at me through the crib pillars with a sad look. Upon seeing this, I sighed a little and went back over to the crib. "Do you want me to stay with you until you go back to sleep?" I asked, getting a small smile from her.

"Ok." I said before I once again lowered the crib wall and sat down beside the crib. My hoof gently stroked against Amy's head as I kept staring at her, wondering how I was gonna get her to sleep. It was then I thought if I couldn't get her to sleep by herself, maybe a lullaby would help, so I started to sing to her in a gentle voice.

Me: "Come, stop you're crying…it'll be alright…

Just take my hoof, hold it tight…

I will protect you from all around you…

I will be here, don't you cry…

For one so small, you seem so strong

My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm

This bond between us, can't be broken

I will be here, don't you cry…

'Cause you'll be in my heart…yes, you'll be in my heart…

From this day on…now and forever more…

You'll be in my heart, no matter what the say…

You'll be in my heart…always…always…"

As I finished my short lullaby, I looked to see Amy had already fallen asleep to is, despite being so short. I smiled warmly at it before I leaned in and gently kissed her head. "Goodnight, my little star." I whispered before I raised the wall of the crib back up and slowly back away towards the door, being careful not to walk Amy.

Eventually, I got to the door and clapped my hooves, making the lights go out and the stars returned. I slowly closed the door until I was in the clear. Now that was taken care off, I started making my way back to bed to join Twilight.

She was right, this was going to get some getting used to, but having a foal like Amy with an amazing girl like Twilight…it was all totally it.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

The song I used in this chapter is called "You'll be in my heart" from the Disney movie "Tarzan", I don't own anything.

So during my absence, I've watched the rest of S7 and the MLP movie and they were AWESOME! The season final was great and the movie blew my mind! It was some of MLP's finest work.

Pony News:

The Season 6 DVD has been released, so anyone who wants to own the magic of that season should go onto Amazon and order your copy.

The MLP movie DVD is said to be released the 19th this month online, and somewhere in January for store release. I'll be waiting to see if any movie guests are going to next year's BronyCon before I order my copy.

Recently, Nick Confalone, Josh Harber and Mike Vogel have confirmed that the Equestria Girls series is canon to the show. This adds three names of MLP staff who say this, which include Meghan McCarthy and Daniel Ingram. Though after Flash and the Dazzlings appearance in the show, this was pretty obvious.

In S8 news, Tirek is said to return in the season finale of S8. I wonder how this is gonna play out, will he once again escape? Or will he be realised to help stop a bigger threat? We'll see what happens.

It also seems that stuff from the movie will make its way into the show. From what I've seen, it looks like we'll be going back into Seaquestria and we'll see a new character named Silver Stream. Does this mean we might see Skystar again?

End of Pony News:

Please remember to review and PM.

Next chapter will be up as soon as possible. It'll be another episode chapter, so it might be done quicker.
