Three Months Later:

Applejack was holding Emile close to her breast.

Ethan stared at AJ and Emile from J’s arms.

“And… this is what it’s like to be a father…” J joked.

“It’s a good thing you didn’t come in before I delivered J.” AJ said with a smile, “Then Emile and Ethan woulda gone hungry for a bit…”

J leaned over and kissed AJ.

There was a knock at the door as Star peeked in, “Mind if I come in?” He asked.

Ethan’s head snapped to Star and he stared wide eyed at him.

J sneezed loudly, “Oh god those curls…” J said as he rubbed his nose a little.

“It’s alright you can come in Star. Anyone else with ya?” AJ asked.

“Is that even a question?” Star asked as him and the others burst into the room.

Emile looked over at everyone as they entered before going back to suckling on AJ’s breast.

“Ethan say hi…” J said with a smile.

Ethan stared at everyone individually before looking up at J.

“He’s just… Their both…” Fluttershy sputtered before sobbing uncontrollably and clinging to Star, sending him to tears immediately.

“And they…” Star said.

“I know…” Fluttershy said as they both hugged each other.

“Does… anyone else find it strange that… Ethan has curly hair?” J questioned as Ethan watched Fluttershy and Star.

“Why would that be strange dear?” Rarity asked.

“It’s just… the curls… are so… curly…” J said before his eyes lit up. “I got a nickname for him already!”

Everyone stared at J.

“No… Objections?” Star asked J.

“What?” J questioned.

“To you know… Nicknames?” Star questioned.

J rolled his eyes, “Do you all want to hear it or not?” He asked.

“Yes go ahead.” Twilight said forcing Star’s mouth shut.

“Well… Da Kurlzz.” J said.

“Or… just Kurlzz?” AJ questioned.

“Uhh-” Star said before his mouth was shut again.

“I think it’s great.” Fluttershy said.

“What about her?” Rainbow Dash asked.

AJ and J whispered to each other.

“We both agree on Em.” J said.

AJ nodded.

“I like it.” Pinkamena said walking in. Star rushed over and put her arm around his shoulder.

“Let me help you…” Star said.

“I’m fine… I can still walk.” She said.

Ethan stared at Pinkamena and cocked his head slowly looking her over.

“I think he can sense little Sarah…” Star said rubbing Pinkamena’s belly.

Ethan quickly stared at the open door as Celestia walked in.

“Hello.” Celestia said.

“Hey! Come in.” Star said as she noticed the two babies and smiled.

“I see I’m a little late.” Celestia said.

Ethan made a little sound and both AJ and J snapped to look at him.

“What’s wrong?” Rarity asked.

“This is… the first sound Ethan’s made…” AJ said quietly.

Ethan stared up at J.

“And… he’s fine.” J said as he and AJ relaxed. “So… AJ when should we…”

“At… least let me hold Emile a bit longer before we go using the spell.” AJ said.

“Okay.” J said leaning back.

“Hey we’re not doing it until I’ve gotten a turn.” Star said.

“Or me.” Fluttershy said.

Rainbow Dash mumbled something.

“Excuse me?” Star said.

“Or… Me.” Dash said quietly.

“So… no one wants to hold Ethan?” J asked, “Okay… I’m fine holding my son.”

“Hey I would like to.” Star said rushing over to J.

“Okay.” J said with a shrug. “You're gonna have to pick him up though.”

Star picked him up gently and caressed him in his arms, “Hey there little guy…” He smiled.

“Oh my god he’s so cute…” Fluttershy said pressing herself against Star as she looked down at Ethan.

J took the opportunity to pull Dash onto his lap, “Now…” He said holding her tightly. “What are you gonna do to get out?”

Dash leaned back and held him. “Nothing… not until it’s my turn to hold my nephew.” She said.

“Yeah in a sec…” Star mumbled, laughing as Fluttershy tickled Ethan.

“Well… maybe you’d get to be…” J began with a smile.

“You’re gonna have to wait a month or two.” Dash said kissing him.

“AJ when can I hold Emile?” J asked looking over at the bed.

“Ya can wait.” AJ said looking at him. “I’m sure somebody else wants ta hold the newest addition to our family.”

Star handed Ethan to Pinkamena.

“You’re so cute! You’re going to make excellent cupcakes some day.” Pinkamena giggled kissing him.

AJ looked over at Pinkamena.

“Pinkamena… explain why you said that…” J said calmly.

She looked back up at him, “What? It’s not like he’s never going to be able to cook… Unlike sooome people.” She said staring at J with a smile.

“I’m a musician.” J said, “Of course I can’t cook THAT well. You all get served gourmet meals… I can cook just fine for myself when I’m hungry. Or if Emile or Ethan need something to eat when Star isn’t around.”

“Hmm…” Star mumbled scratching his chin, “Maybe I should make extra meals for them when I leave…”

Fluttershy giggled as Twilight tried to hold back a laugh.

“Have mercy on them J.” Twilight said.

Ethan turned and stared at Twilight.

J closed his eyes, “At least I can cook without lighting the kitchen on fire.” He said.

“Hey… One time.” Twilight said defensively.

“Yes well… Maybe I can give you a few more lessons.” Star said patting Twilight on the head.

“Well… I’m sure that will help.” J said.

“What is that supposed to me-” Twilight said before Star cut her off with a kiss. She threw her arms up in defeat and put her arms around him.

“I could just eat you right up…” Pinkamena said kissing Ethan again, “Mmm…” She mumbled before licking him gently.

Ethan whimpered a little bit.

Star glanced over at Pinkamena, his eyes going wide, “Um…” He said before Twilight slammed him into the wall and kissed him again.

Pinkamena licked Ethan again.

Ethan screamed loudly causing everyone to cover their ears. The window on the door shattered.

Ethan fell silent again.

“What… the hell?” J questioned.

“That’s… Not normal… I don’t think.” Star stammered.

“No… I don’t think it’s normal for the air to ripple when a baby screams.” J said.

“Neat… Do it again…” Pinkamena said about to lick him before Star grabbed her hair and gently pulled her head back.

“Stop.” Star said.

“Yeah… don’t lick him again.” J said.

“Oh my god J… Do you know what this means.” Star said.

“Yes I do. Ethan is the Dovahkiin.” J said.

“Dragonborn!” Star said.

“Fus Ro DAH!” Twilight shouted.

Ethan stared at her.

“NO! Don’t teach him, that stuff yet!” J said, “I don’t want him burning the town down with a shout!”

“Or calling dragons.” Star said as Spike walked in.

“What?” Spike said.

“J, Twilight, Star… what are you three going on about Ethan for?” AJ asked.

“Our son…” J began.

“Ethan can channel sound based magic!” Twilight said.

“Can I hold my nephew now?” Dash questioned.

“Wait… an earth pony using magic?” AJ questioned.

“Vocal magic is channeled based off of the natural energies inside the body. It’s not actual magic per se.” Twilight said.

“And that means what?” J asked.

“It means that… unlike actual magic. Using the vocal energies will wear him out really quickly.” Twilight said.

“Okay.” J said with a shrug, “Then… I guess he won’t be using it much.”

“It’s up to him.” Twilight said.

“Oh. Well then he won’t be using it much.” J repeated.

“Yes very fascinating…” Pinkamena said. “Can you let go of my hair?”

“No.” Star said. “Can someone take him already?”

“I got him.” Rarity said taking Ethan from Pinkamena.

“He-” Dash was cut off as J covered her mouth.

“You can wait.” He said quietly.

-------------------------

Dash hovered into the house with Ethan in her arms.

“Welcome home Ethan… Emile.” Star said as he and the others went inside.

J carried AJ inside and sat her down on the couch.

“I can walk…” AJ said.

“I know.” J said, “Is it so wrong for me to want to hold you?”

AJ nuzzled him, “No...” She said laying her head down on his shoulder.

“I’m kinda hungry…” Pinkamena said.

“Stay right there I’ll fix something to eat for you and everyone. Implying you guys are hungry too.” Star said.

“I am. Hospital food isn’t that great.’ AJ said.

“Sure.” J said as Rarity sat down on his lap.

“My turn.” Rarity said quietly as she cuddled against J.

“What would ya like?” Star asked.

“Well…” Pinkamena said, “Maybe a triple decker chicken sandwich… A couple tuna melts. Minestrone and a quinoa salad with sugar snap peas. And some roast beef with broccoli. Don’t hold back on the ketchup… Lots of ketchup. And oh yeah… Salami and potato chips. I think you know how to make garlic dip right?”

Star was frozen in place, his eyes darting back and forth, “Got it.” He said rushing into the kitchen.

Dash handed Ethan to Twilight, “I think you deserve some time to hold your nephew.” She said before sitting on J’s other side and hugging him.

“You look just as handsome as your father…” Twilight giggled.

“Thank you.” J said with a smile.

“Where’d Fluttershy go?” AJ asked looking around for her.

“You’re just so cute… Yes you are…” Fluttershy said pressing her face to Emile’s stomach and blowing, causing her to giggle.

“Don’t worry… She’s in great hands.” J said quietly.

Pabu came running in with J’s teddy bear on his back, stopping in front of him and staring up at J.

“Thanks Pabu.” J said reaching down and petting him as he took the teddy bear off his back.

Pabu ran up Twilights leg and stopped on her arm, staring down at Ethan.

Ethan reached up and grabbed Pabu’s tail giggling quietly.

Pabu pulled it away, dangling it above Ethan playfully.

Ethan grabbed Pabu’s tail and yanked him down giggling a little bit more.

Pabu squeaked, glancing over at J for help.

Ethan let go of Pabu’s tail.

Pabu quickly scurried back to Twilight’s shoulder and stared down at Ethan.

Ethan reached up and grabbed Twilight’s hair.

“Aww… I think he likes your hair.” Fluttershy said.

“I do have really good hair.” Twilight smiled.

Ethan put the hair he grabbed into his mouth and started chewing it.

“Maybe too good…” Pinkamena giggled grabbing a bit of Twilight’s hair and nibbling on it too.

“Okay… Someone help.” Twilight said.

“OH MY GOSH! THEY’RE HERE!” Cadence squealed as she ran downstairs. She quickly grabbed Ethan from Twilight and he gave no protest as he spat out Twilight’s hair. “Aww you look a lot like your dad! And you have really really curly hair… that’s so cute!”

Emile looked up at Fluttershy.

“What is it Emile?” Fluttershy said as she raised Emile closer to her head.

Emile grabbed her nose and started giggling.

“Oh you like my nose?” Fluttershy said pressing her face against Emile and rubbing her nose against her stomach.

“Maybe we can move this to the kitchen. Dinner’s ready!” Star shouted.

“Awww… he likes my hair!” Cadence said as Ethan started chewing on her hair.

“Stop it…” Twilight said staring at Pinkamena, who shook her head and kept chewing.

“Pinkamena…” Star said. She looked over at Star, “Food?”

“Mmhm!” She said spitting out Twilight’s hair and rushing into the kitchen.
