After standing on the balcony for several hours in silence they finally broke apart. Celestia gave James a warm smile and he couldn’t help but return it. They gave each other a hug and then James left Celestia’s room. James was walking down the long hallway to the room that he was staying in. The hallway was nicely lit from the light of the moon. James smiled at the good job that Luna did. He felt hurt when he learned that ponies didn’t like her nights. Compared to Earth these nights were absolutely gorgeous. James reached his room and went inside.

His room was completely empty except for his bags on the bed. He went over to his bags to get unpacked since there was a chance that he wasn’t going to be alone for long. James pulled out the new set of shirts that Rarity made him. She gave James an earful that she couldn’t keep making a new set of shirts for him every time that he decided to have sex with a pony. James laughed because to help ease the tension he said that the older ones could be used as a way to show how much has changed during his stay. James had all his clothes packed away and opened the second bag.

His mares asked his why he was taking two bags since all his clothes fit in one. He told them that the second bag was for his nicer set of clothes. The second bag did contain a nice tuxedo for the wedding but he also stuffed his daggers into the bag. James hung the tuxedo in the closet as he placed the daggers in a drawer. He brought his revolver but he didn’t know why he did so. The gun had no ammo so it was completely useless. He could create the ammo if he needed to but he wasn’t ready to lose his dick to Lotus just yet. James remembered walking into her room before they left for the castle to see how she was doing.

Lotus was sitting on her bed sharpening a knife. James asked what she was doing and she smiled at him. She told him that the knife was special because if he did anything half assed like he did at the Gala then she was going to cut his dick off. James started to back away slowly from Lotus but was stopped when she started laughing. James just stared at her in shock trying to figure out why she was laughing. Once she was done she told him that it was a knife from the kitchen that needed to be sharpened. James was able to relax knowing that he wasn’t in any real danger yet. Lotus walked up to him and whispered that she would give him a good thrashing if he gave her another scare like last time.

James just shivered at the thought of getting another beating from Lotus. James shrugged since they all would be understanding if he carried his weapons with him to the wedding. James finished putting his stuff away and headed for the shower. James opened the door and was ready to leave the bathroom until six sets of hands grabbed him. James was pulled into the bathroom by Spitfire, Fiddlesticks, Flitter, Cloudchaser, Daisy, and Lily. They all smiled at James while he tried to regain his senses of what just happened. James was now standing in the bathroom with six naked mares.

Spitfire turned on the shower and guided James inside. James knew that Spitfire was doing this to just tease him and kind of make him feel bad. He told her that he wasn’t going to have sex with her until the child was born. She explained that the child would have been fine but he wasn’t willing to take that chance. Spitfire wasn’t happy about that so she along with some of the others made it their goal to make him feel on edge. He was forced to look at their bodies that even with being pregnant still looked beautiful. They would constantly tease him and have him set on edge when they were together. James would have probably lost it if it wasn’t for the other mares that he had with him. So to make the playing field even James made love to the new mares if he was needing to find release.

They didn’t mind since they knew James loved them and it was fun for them to mess with the others. The mares all smiled at James as they showered together. James asked if the others were planning on joining them. Sadly they wouldn’t as much as they would love to. They were too busy getting things prepared for the wedding. It felt lonely without them but still he was glad that they were all happy. It wasn’t every day that somepony got to see a royal wedding. James was pulled from his thoughts when Spitfire said that Twilight would like him and her to go and talk with Cadence.

James didn’t know why but when her name was said the air got cold and heavy. The name alone sent fear into him and he was worried. There should have been no reason that he was scared of the princess but something didn’t seem right. Now that James thought about it he didn’t know what she was the princess of. Celestia was the princess of the sun and Luna was the princess of the moon. James looked at Spitfire and asked her the question that was bugging him.

“Hey Spits do you know what Cadence is supposed to be the princess of?”

“I didn’t know what she was the princess of until I asked Twilight. She said that Cadence was the princess of love.” Spitfire smiled warmly at James as she drew circles on his bare chest.

James ran that answer through his head. So she was the princess of love and that was kind of weird to James. Though being the princess of love might explain why she acted the way she did. She was probably just testing him to see if he was loyal to his mares or just going around town fucking every mare he saw. Even with that thought in mind though it did nothing to help settle the weird feeling that he had for the princess. He just chalked it up to being nervous about the wedding. Being at the wedding made James want to have his own with his mares but he didn’t know what to do about it. They would all be happy about having a wedding with James but he didn’t know how to go about it.

James wanted to surprise his mares about the wedding when he wanted it. James thought back to a marriage book that he was reading when he was bored. The book detailed different ways that the ponies would propose to each other. Surprisingly there was a section about necklaces being a perfect way to show unity together. James looked over at Spitfire and saw that she was still wearing her fire gem necklace. He never once saw her take it off and wondered if anypony asked who she was engaged to. The use of rare gem on necklaces would be a way to propose to a mare. James just smiled as he looked at Spitfire.

He shared that information to her to see what she thought about it. She said that it could have been anyway that James wanted it to be. He could have it be as a way that he proposed to her or a nice piece of jewelry that he gave her. James said that he was more than glad to have it as a way of proposal but just wasn’t ready to jump into planning the marriage just yet. Spitfire gave him a kiss letting him know that she could wait for him to get everything settled before they went that far. James was now glad that he brought the other necklaces with him. All his mares deserved to have something nice and he wasn’t opposed to letting it be a proposal.

The shower was finished and all his mares were grinning happily at James. When James took a step he nearly collapsed. He grabbed his head as the room started to spin. He looked at his mares he swore that he heard them swallowing. James slapped himself mentally for not coming to his senses when they were blowing him. They seemed content that he hadn’t noticed and were more than happy to have pleased him. The mares smiled at him while Spitfire just glared at him. James playfully stuck his tongue out at her saying that she started this war. Spitfire grinned as she casually walked her with an extra spring in her step letting her breasts bounce.

When she was close to James she could hear his heavy breathing as he tried to calm his racing heart. She lightly trailed a finger up along his body making him shiver. As he shivered in excitement Spitfire leaned in and whispered into his ear. She warned him that he better not start to think that he had won. There were still thirteen other mares and those five wouldn’t be able to help him all the time. The reason being once they were pregnant if they were still pregnant would put James all alone. James was able to get his breathing under control as he whispered back to Spitfire. He told her that he was going to win this and when it was over he was going to make sure they understood what he went through.

Spitfire could only grin as she wrapped her tail around his waist leading him back to the bed so they could get some sleep. James laid down as the mares got around him and used his body as a pillow. The mares fell asleep pretty fast but James was still awake. He looked at the ceiling as he let his mind wander. He thought about his own wedding when that would come up. He imagined all his mares in white but that would change when Rarity would decide on all their colors. James could see himself in a tuxedo but would ask Rarity if she could get everypony’s cutie mark on it. There was a chance that she wouldn’t like it but there could be potential in it.

James was letting his mind work too much. He carefully moved himself out of bed and got dressed in casual clothing. He opened his second bag and pulled out the brown bag. He opened it to take inventory to make sure all the necklaces were there. All the necklaces were there and he was happy. James placed the bag on the nightstand and left a note for Spitfire to remind that he took the bag with him to the wedding. James smiled as the mares were trying to search for his body and grabbed pillows thinking that it was him. James walked out of his room and went exploring around the castle.

James was in the gardens as he took a seat on the bench. He looked up into the sky and saw Princess Luna flying around. James could tell that she saw him and he waved to her. Luna turned around and flew towards where James was sitting. She landed gracefully and walked the little distance left to James. James got up from the bench and was going to greet the princess but was pulled into a bone crushing hug. When she let him go James looked at her to see that she was smiling at him. James gave a smile back as he sat on the bench and made room for Luna to sit down. Luna took her seat next to James and they went to conversing with each other.

“So how are thou doing James?”

“I could be better but nothing too major that needs to be worried about. What about you? Are you doing okay?”

“Yes James I am doing very well. I was just doing my nightly patrol over Canterlot to make sure all my ponies were sleeping peacefully. What are you doing out here James?”

“I was just going for a walk around the castle. If I may though Luna I would like to ask you a question. Feel free not to answer though.”

“Ask away James since I would like to be helpful to some one that enjoys my nights.” Luna smiled at James and just gave her a shrug like it wasn’t much.

“Well I have been here for quite some time and you already know what has happened with some of the mares.” Luna couldn’t help but blush and chuckle at James.

“Well the only thing I was wondering was how long it would be before my mares gave birth.” James was expecting the princess to get flustered but she was surprisingly calm.

“Well I have heard how long it takes for a human child to be born from Lyra. The only true difference would be how long it takes to give birth. For ponies it takes seven months before we give birth. Your mares are already four months in so you have three months left to be ready for that.”

“Thanks princess. I needed to know so I wouldn’t completely freak out when it happens.”

“Now if I may James I would like to ask you a question.” James gestured with his hand for the princess to ask away.

“I was wanting to know how you have been able to do some of the things that you have done. You are able to do magic and you seemed to have gained some strength as well. What I want to know is how have you gained these abilities.” James cringed slightly at the thought of how he got these powers. He looked at Luna and smiled at her to help calm himself.

“Well as you remember a few months ago I nearly killed myself. During that time I had to get blood transfusions from the mares to help keep me alive. I received blood from Pinkie Pie, Vinyl, and Rainbow Dash. You already know that I have been learning magic when I finally got better and that was thanks to Vinyl’s blood. Then during a special night that doesn’t need to go into detail, Twilight helped to get the other magic flowing. I could feel the strength in my body that Pinkie’s blood gave me. The only thing that I don’t know is what Rainbow’s blood may have given me. I would like to think that I was going to fly but sadly that was a no.” James stared at his veins as he prodded them with his finger. Luna looked at him for a bit before taking off into the air.

James watched as she flew away and grabbed a cloud. She brought it down with her and lowered it to the ground. James looked at the cloud and then back at Luna before settling his gaze back on the cloud. Luna gestured for him to step onto the cloud but James just shook his head. Sure pegasi had the ability to walk on clouds but there was no way that he could. Luna gave a huff as she lifted James with her magic and dropped him on the cloud. James had his eyes shut as he expected to fall through the cloud and hit the ground slightly hard. James didn’t feel any pain for a few seconds so he opened his eyes. He saw that he was lying on the cloud as though it was a firm surface. Luna was smiling happily that she was able to figure out James’ other power.

“Don’t you ever do that to me again.” James said a little annoyed.

“Oh hush you. I helped you figure out your third ability.”

“Yeah you did where there was a chance that I could have died.”

“What you don’t trust that I would have caught you?”

“Oh no I’m certain that you would have caught me but only after I would be a second away from hitting the ground.”

“I think you are just being a little overdramatic.” Luna said as she smiled at James. James just shook his head since there was no point in arguing with her.

“Hey Luna what do you think of Cadence?”

“I believe along with my sister that our niece is very nice. She is nothing like our nephew Blueblood and are happy about that. She is a very caring pony and respects all. We are truly happy for her marriage and wish her the best.” James could see that Luna was proud of her niece and so kept things to himself. At best he was just worrying about nothing. He was probably nervous about her since she could tell how loving a pony is and could easily fix that.

James and Luna gave each other a hug as she took off into the night sky. James took a deep breath as he continued to walk around the gardens until he came across the statue of Discord. James felt disgust towards the draconequus but had mixed feelings. This used to be Celestia’s boyfriend and it seemed so weird. It was understandable somewhat since there needed to be some sort of balance in Equestria. James wondered if given the right chance if Discord could possibly get back together with Celestia. James touched the statue and wished Discord a good night. James couldn’t help but laugh that maybe Discord was giving him a cold glare at his joke.

James continued to walk around until he came across his room again. He looked around at the other rooms to see the doors slightly open. James suggested back at the house that they should keep their doors slightly crack that way they could call upon James if needed. Looks like they were taking the advice to heart but he felt that it wasn’t needed at the castle. There were guards all around so there was a slim chance of them getting hurt. Even with that slim chance though James was glad that they still thought about it.

James entered his room and got changed into his pajamas. He carefully put himself in bed and closed his eyes. During his sleep he felt a hand grab him and pull him closer. James kept his eyes closed and moved closer to whoever was holding onto him. Whichever mare was next to him smelled very lovely. James’ eyes shot open when he heard the mare holding onto him speak.

“Hello handsome glad you could finally come to bed.” James could only stare in horror as Cadence held onto him not letting him leave.
