It was two in the morning in the small town of Ponyville. Everyone was asleep as they gathered the energy they would need to face the challenges ahead. And in a two story house carved out of a large tree, three grown ups and an infant were resting from such a long day.
Ben Tennyson lay asleep in his bed after the events of the previous day. His wives, Celestia and Luna Tennyson lay asleep snuggled up to him on either side with content smiles on their faces. Nothing could possibly come between the three of them and a full night's sleep. Nothing except a crying baby, of course. Ben groaned as he woke up to take care of Eve, but a pair of white arms wrapped around him and kept him in bed.
"Tia, come on. I need to go check on Eve." Ben said with a big yawn.
"No, Ben. You've been raising Eve by yourself for so long now, and need to rest! I'll take care of her this time." Luna said.
The lunar princess was right about that. Taking care of a baby all on his own was very taking for the young Alicorn prince. And it showed due to the bags under his eyes no doubt from both not enough sleep, and their rather, ahem... Biblical activities the previous night. However, Ben could be quite stubborn when it came to his daughter's well being.
So to counter this, Luna cast a low powered sleeping spell on her husband. It took effect almost instantaneously as Ben closed his eyes and went back to sleep. Luna didn't waste anymore time as Eve's cries for attention grew louder, and went to check on the little one. Life as a family was certainly gonna be interesting for these Alicorns, that's for sure.

Family Life!
The next morning came by pretty quickly for the citizens of Ponyville. The morning rays of the sun shone into the room of Ben Tennyson, causing him to groan at the offending light source. He tried to roll over so he could shield his eyes from the light, but found himself pinned by something. He opened his eyes to see the sleeping face of Celestia. Apparently, she decided to use his chest as a pillow while sleeping last night.
But Ben wasn't complaining. He just smiled, and kissed Celestia on her forehead. She stirred in her sleep but didn't wake up, smiling contently as she dreamed of the brown haired, green eyes children she and Ben would have. Ben honestly didn't want to wake her up, but he could smell Luna cooking breakfast. And if there was one thing Celestia hated more than someone stealing her cake, it's missing breakfast.
"Tia, come on. We gotta get up, or you'll miss breakfast!" Ben said as he gently shook her awake.
The combination of the sun hitting her face, Ben's gentle touch, and the smell of cooking food was enough to awaken the solar alicorn. Celestia's eyes fluttered open, and she saw her husband smiling gently at her. She smiled lovingly at Ben, and leaned up to kiss him on the lips.
"Good morning, Ben. Sleep well?" Celestia asked.
"With you and Luna by my side, I always sleep well!" Ben replied.
Celestia smiled at Ben as they got up to get dressed for the day. They planned to spend the entire day together as a family, and Ben planned to make every second count! Once they were dressed for the day, the two made their way down to the kitchen where they found Luna removing her apron, and Eve in her highchair.
On the table was a big breakfast comprised of freshly made chocolate chip pancakes, diced fruits, scrambled eggs, steaming hot bowls of grits, coffee, and orange juice. Needless to say, both Celestia and Ben were already drooling at the sight of Luna's cooking. It was no secret that Luna was the best cook out of the three of them, and she was darn proud of it! Back at the castle, Luna and her sister may have had personal chefs, but now that she lived in Ponyville she was free to cook for her family on her own.
You see, Luna and Celestia had agreed to move in with Ben in Ponyville so that they could remain together without Ben leaving his friends behind. Now they were living a simpler life with their husband and daughter, and they were very much enjoying the simple life.
"Well what're you guys waiting for, a formal invitation?" Luna asked mockingly. "Dig in!"
Neither Ben, nor Celestia needed any further invitation. They sat at the table, and served themselves generous portions of the food. Ben had also taken the liberty to feed Eve while they were all eating, and Eve giggled cutely at the funny faces her daddy was making for her as he fed her the strained squash and rice.
Ben did this because it always made feeding his daughter easier to do in the past, so it was sure to still work now. When everyone finished eating, Ben took care of the dishes while Celestia changed Eve's diaper and Luna packed up the baby bag. They were getting ready for a family outing which was a nice walk in the park.
As they made their way to Ben's favorite spot in the park, Ben heard something coming from a nearby alley. Ben wasn't sure why, but his instincts were screaming at him to go and investigate. Fortunately, Eve was being pushed in the stroller by Celestia so he didn't need to worry about the safety of his daughter. Ben ran over to the alley, and what he saw when he reached the place made his blood boil to an all time high.
Three men that Ben recognized as members of prince Blueblood's guard were ganging up on a girl that looked to be about his age! He couldn't see her clearly, but he could easily tell that she was afraid of these men. It was obvious what these men were trying to do to her!
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Ben yelled, using the old Royal Canterlot Voice.
He shot a magic bolt at the three men which knocked them out faster than you could blink! With the threat neutralized, Ben ran over to the girl who had collapsed to her knees from the sheer trauma of the event.
"Are you alright?!" Ben asked.
The girl didn't say anything. Instead, she latched onto Ben while sobbing into his chest. She was gripping him like a lifeline, so Ben just wrapped his arms around her to try and offer some form of comfort.
There we go! Done with this chapter! If guest reviewer Omnipotent 18 is reading this, know that Quest of the Kaminatrix will be updated after I update a few more chapters for my story Danny 10 Prime. Review and enjoy!
