A/N: I will be having the beginning part of the chapter be about the 2 week skip, it will be in italics to show Kyle is thinking about them. Time skips for future reference will be notified with a *****TS***** and to show present time it will be *****PT*****. Do not worry, I will only be doing them when needed, I really want to have Stratus start to play a major role in the story, so in 10 or so chapters he will be two years old, in which case he will officially be able to start doing more interesting things. I don’t want to keep you waiting, on with the chapter!

A lot can happen in two weeks. It only seems fair that I reminisce them seeing as they were wonderful memories. Now, what happened first? Aha here we go! The first thing happened the day after it was sunny outside and it was 60 degrees. Stratus had another outburst of flight and flew around the house for a little while, which made Dashie and I laugh as he zipped by our heads.

Next thing that happened was at around 7:30 PM the next day. This one I was not proud of, but it had to be done. I was working at the bar in the club when a rowdy Stallion came up and asked for a drink, I got it prepared for him and he took it without question. Everything was fine and dandy…..until he got drunk. He started to get all lovey on a mare at the bar and I was watching intently, making sure that it wasn’t going to go too far. It did. The stallion started to try to get the mare to go with him back to his place, but she kept saying no. I was silently wishing I had the umph to go over there and tell him to GTFO of the club, but I still kept silent. He was becoming very persistent and the mare was starting to get a little worried, so that was where I stepped in. I told him to leave her alone, and he looked at me with a creepy ass grin. You want to know what he did next??? He fucking punched me in the gut and cheek with his hoof. I proceeded to then get extremely pissed and I hit him once in the cheek with my right fist, which is now known as little boy. I then hit him in the other cheek with fat man, my left one. I told him to get out and he complied, mostly because I practically spit the words out at him. After he left I turned to the mare and she thanked me for helping out with that creep. I was happy again after that.

The next few days were boring after that little incident really. We decided that Stratus should get something made for when it gets colder outside so he could be out in it, we went to Rarity for that. She said she would gladly make something for the little guy and we thanked her.

The only other thing that happened that was by far the coolest thing my son has done with me yet is him giving me a brohoof. I was filled with so much sayian pride after that it looked like I was going into super sayian because I was so filled with it. He has become the pony in my life that does things just like I do, he really is my kid……..and I love him to death for it.

I woke up and there was a dim light coming through the window. I got up out of the bed and looked outside, it was extremely foggy. I grumbled at this and then walked back over to the bed. I lay back down and Dash cuddled in closer to me. I kissed her softly and dozed back off into sleep. Today felt like it was going to be a good day!

The next time I woke up Dash wasn’t in the bed. I sat up and heard her voice coming from somewhere down the hall. I got up and walked out and found that her voice was coming from Stratus’s room. I walked in and saw Stratus sitting on RD’s stomach and she was poking him playfully. “Well here he comes now” she said to me as I walked over and sat down next to her.

“What? What is going on?” I asked her. I am a little confused now.

“He kept pointing towards the door and I took that as he was wondering where you were. I told him that you would be up soon and he giggled a little. He understands what we say now, now all he needs to do is start to speak to us. Baby ponies always start to talk a few weeks after they are born; it’s only a matter of time before our little stratus starts to talk” Dash said to me with a smile.

“What is it Stratus? Did you want to see me?” I said to the little pegasus who only smiled in reply.

He bounced off RD’s stomach and jumped up onto my lap. I picked him up and set him on my shoulders. “Come on everypony, I think it’s time we got breakfast going” I said before walking out of the room with Stratus towards the promise land…..the kitchen.

After we finished our breakfast we went into the living room and sat down. It was looking to be a boring day, we just sat on the couch and enjoyed the quiet morning. Everything was peaceful until Dash and I heard something that made both of us practically squeal.

“Daddy……Mommy” Stratus said as he looked at us.

…….beep…..beep…beep..beep.beep…beeeeeeeeee*. HHHHNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!! He called me daddy and Dash mommy! I am so full of proud right now it is going to come out my ears in a minute! “Rainbow…..did he just do what I think he did?” I asked her with a extremely shocked look on my face.

“Oh my gosh! He just called us mommy and daddy! Stratus has finally said his first words! This means that he is almost going to start talking fully! I’ll give him until the beginning of the year before he starts to do so” Rainbow Dash said to me. She was smiling from ear to ear, no doubt feeling the same amount of pride as I was. Now you know how I feel Dashie! That’s my boy!

Stratus smiled at us for a while and then started to walk around on the couch. He even did the head-butting my chest again. Confound my son he drives me to feel an immense amount of joy!

The day went by so slow after that. It was pouring rain outside, so we couldn’t do anything out there. I decided that I would make some hot cocoa and we could all sit by the fire. Stratus must have really liked it because he looked at me and kept pointing to his little cup when he had finished. I don’t need you to be as hyper as me with redbull, too much cocoa in a foal will do that to em. I smiled at him and dabbed a little whipped topping on his nose and he giggled a little. I have never realized this until now, he never cries! He is like the perfect child, all happy no crying!

Dash smiled at me and then to Stratus, who walked over and gave her a little hug. “Aww, he thinks you were being left out” I said to her with a smile. “You know, he is going to have to be taught to fly right? That will have to be your department when he gets old enough seeing as I fly by other means” I continued.

“I know. He should be easy to teach though seeing as he has had so many outbursts of flying already, which usually means they will know a lot about flying” Rainbow Dash said to me in reply.

I sure hope he will be a good flyer; he can fly with RD when he gets older and that will be pretty gersh dern amazing! We sat in silence, Stratus falling asleep curled up next to RD. D’AWWWWW. His mane was getting a little bigger now; it almost looked like RD’s except for the weird way of looking like bedhead and being different colored. He was breathing softly, and yes snoring too. Rainbow Dash smiled at this and rested her head on his.

I slid over to them and put my arms around them and we just sat there and enjoyed the moment, we didn’t know what time it was, but we were sure it was still a little early to go to bed yet. I lay down on the floor and RD rests her head on my chest. She then leans up and starts to kiss me, in which case I start to swap tongues with her again. We smiled and then after we broke the kiss just laid there and listened to the sound of the rain hitting the house.

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter! It will get better I promise, it’s just that doing a young foal is pretty difficult. I will probably be doing the 1 and a half month skip to get the next chapter out there, it will be a shocker, let me tell you that! Can you say more surprises? Oh well, I am going to take the rest of the night off from writing, see you all tomorrow!

Next Chapter: 53. Hearth's Warming Eve Estimated time remaining: 7 Hours, 36 Minutes
