The crying.

Dear god the crying.

SOMEBODY MAKE THE CRYING STOP!

Rainbow rolled over and pressed her face into her pillow as Spectrum's screeches echoed throughout the house. At nearly three weeks without sleep, she was ready to snap.

"Fluttershy," she mumbled, "He hasn't stopped crying since we brought him home..."

"Oh... Oh dear..." Fluttershy moaned, getting up, "I'll go.. go tend to him..."

"But he just... doesn't... stop..." Rainbow moaned, rolling back over and staring up at the ceiling, "What the hell does that boy want?!"

Fluttershy went to the nursery, coming to her son's crib. She pulled him out, gently cradling him to her chest.

"Shhh, it's okay, sweetheart... Mommy's here... Shhhh," she rocked him gently to soothe him.

Spectrum wailed into Fluttershy's shoulder, his face red and puffy from the weeks of crying.

"Fluttershy, what the hell is going on?" Ascentia asked as she appeared in the doorway, rubbing her eyes.

"Spectrum... he's been fussing again," Fluttershy replied, sitting in the rocking chair as she cradled him, "I don't know what's wrong... I took him to the doctor, and she said there was nothing wrong with him."

Ascentia opened her eyes the rest of the way and took a look at Spectrum, "...Oh... hang on..."

She turned around and there was the sound of footsteps going down the hall, then coming back. Within a few minutes, Ascentia had returned with Sunrise in her arms. Setting her down onto the floor, she patted her little bum and smiled.

"Go... do your thing, magical ball of sunshine," she smiled, "Shy, put him down on the floor."

Hesitating a bit, Fluttershy nodded. She went to the play mat, gently laying him down there on his back, beneath the overhangs of toys. Sunrise scooted forward, sitting up next to Spectrum and giggling. Laying her hands over his eyes, and babbling. Then pulling her hands away and babbling some more. Spectrum's crying died down the more Sunrise played with him, and within a few minutes, he was softly giggling.

"Awww...." Fluttershy smiled brightly, "How sweet, she cheered him up!"

"Pretty girls always cheer boys up," Ascentia chuckled, "When you and Rainbow went to dinner two weeks ago, Spectrum and Sunrise really hit it off. He was giggling like an idiot the whole time."

"That's great to hear," Fluttershy smiled, "I'm so glad they're getting along so well. Wow... I've never heard him laugh before, it's so adorable!"

Ascentia wrapped an arm around Fluttershy, "Mmhmm. His laugh is one of the cutest things I've ever heard."

"It's so sweet," Fluttershy returned the gesture and smiled all the more.

Ascentia kissed the top of Fluttershy's head, "Those two are going to be the best of friends."

"I don't doubt it," said Fluttershy, watching as Sunrise continued to play with her infant, "She really seems to like him a lot."

"Mmhmm," Ascentia smiled, "Like a little brother... or a best friend... ooooooor," she grinned as she trailed off.

"Oh, you," Fluttershy nudged her playfully, "I'll write up the wedding invitations."

Ascentia smiled and kissed Fluttershy's cheek again, "Love you, Shy."

"I love you, too," Fluttershy kissed her cheek as well.

Sunrise, meanwhile, glomped onto Spectrum and snuggled into him, babbling happily.

"I think they love eachother as well," Ascentia laughed, kissing Fluttershy's ear.

"Hey Rainbow!" Ascentia called out happily as Rainbow came through the door, "How's your hammer hangin'?"

"I'm surprised it even is at all!" Rainbow admitted, letting out a breath, "Jeez, I know we gotta raise kids and all, and I sure love being a Mom, but... damn I need some action! I'm surprised my balls aren't blue!"

Ascentia chuckled, balancing two bottles and a bed tray in one arm, "I could survive longer without water than you could without sex, Rainbow."

"Hey, I've got a beautiful and adorable wife, a super hot look-alike girlfriend, and a hot...er...fuckbuddy concubine...whatever you want to call it," Rainbow stuck her tongue out, "Other Junior over here craves a little fun with them!"

"Well, one of those is definitely out of comission," Ascentia chuckled, "Shy's been in bed all day. Collapsed this morning when she was trying to feed Spectrum."

"I know," Rainbow pouted slightly, "I came to see if she was all right since I didn't see her for a while, and saw her sleeping in our bed. And you know me, I'd never actually do that to someone in their sleep."

"Unless they asked you to," Ascentia stuck her tongue out, bringing the armful of precariously balanced food up the stairs.

"I guess?" Rainbow scratched her head, following her up, "All I can think of is that one time I woke up, felt something off, and found Fluttershy actually licking my cock."

"Shy's grabby at night, eh?" Ascentia asked, pushing the door to the baby's room open with her foot, "Here ya go, sport," she said, lobbing one of the bottles into the crib.

Rainbow watched in astonishment as Spectrum caught the bottle in both hands and started suckling down. "I'm not even gonna ask..." Still, she smiled brightly at her son, reaching down to gently stroke his small patches of hair.

Spectrum made several "Um" noises, sounding like a serious attempt to say "Mama" and failing horribly.

"He can catch, but he can't speak," Ascentia shrugged.

"He's not even six months old, I'm not surprised," Rainbow chuckled, leaning down a bit toward him, "Hey, buddy. You still trying to talk? Think your first word's gonna be Mama? You going to have a conversation with us soon?"

Spectrum looked up at her, suckling on his bottle. His eyes were wide and questioning.

"I swear, that kid is silently judging us all," Ascentia remarked.

"You sure that's true, or are you just projecting?" Rainbow poked her side. She reached into the crib, picking up Spectrum, "So buddy, what'cha gotta say? I got bad hair? Or she's got something in her teeth? Or that the paint job in the room needs a little more red?"

Spectrum bopped Rainbow on the nose with his hand, suckling down more of his milk.

"Aww, if he's not headbutting you, he'll bop you!" Rainbow laughed, kissing his forehead, "You got a good hand there, buddy."

"Strong and aggressive, just like his Mama," Ascentia laughed, "C'mon, let's feed the other two."

"Other two?" Rainbow said, then looked down as Spectrum grasped the collar of her shirt in his tiny hand, trying to pull it down. She laughed, "Hey! I'm not Mommy, my tits can't give you milk!"

"Mama'll be back soon, okay Spec?" Ascentia said from the doorway.

Spectrum gave a tiny whine and tugged harder.

"Spectrum," she said more sternly, "What did I tell you about the whining?"

Spectrum grumbled and let go, making babbling noises as he suckled his bottle.

"Atta boy, listen to Auntie Asy," Rainbow kissed his head and then gently lowered him back into his crib.

Ascentia and Rainbow wheeled around the hallway into Sunrise's room, who perked up when her mother walked in.

"Here ya go, sweetheart!" Ascentia cooed, lowering her bottle into the crib.

Sunrise giggled and started suckling the bottle, rolling onto her back and kicking her little feet into the air.

"Hey, look at that little kicker go!" Rainbow laughed a bit, "Oh, you're gonna be boss at soccer."

Ascentia kissed Sunrise's head and smiled, "I'm gonna go take care of Auntie Fluttershy, then we'll go to the park, okay?"

Sunrise nodded rapidly, giggling.

"See you, kiddo!" Rainbow ruffled her head of midnight blue hair, looking at Sunrise's bright happy green eyes, "Wow, I never realized how green her eyes are. They look real cute!"

"Probably got them from her donor," Ascentia shrugged.

"Yeah, I figured," Rainbow said, patting her little head. She turned and headed out of the room, going to the bedroom, "Hey... Fluttershy?" She opened the door slowly to see if she was awake.

Fluttershy was sitting up in bed, reading a thick book spread out in her lap. Ascentia walked closer and set the tray down over her lap, "Here ya go, Shy. I made that stew you like."

"Oh, thank you," Fluttershy smiled brightly, "I could use something to eat."

"Hey, how you feeling?" Rainbow came over, kissing her temple.

"I'm all right... I'm just trying to slowly get myself more energized," Fluttershy replied, taking the fork, "Are the kids okay?"

"The kids are fine, they're eating," Ascentia smiled, kissing the top of Fluttershy's head, "Just Rainbow to take care of now."

Realizing what she meant, Fluttershy gave a sad pout, "I'm sorry..."

"Hey, come on, no sweat. You had a baby a few weeks ago and you're freaking tired," Rainbow ruffled her hair, "I'll always find a way~"

"That reminds me. Don't you ever masturbate?" Ascentia asked, tidying up Fluttershy's bookcase.

"Yeah, I do," Rainbow nodded, gingerly sitting herself next to Fluttershy and rubbing her shoulders, "But then I get horny five minutes later and have to do it again, then again, and then again. My hand gets tired after a while, then I gotta use my left. I can do it harder with my right, but my left doesn't get tired so fast."

"Only you could get carpel tunnel from jerking off," Ascentia laughed, patting the top of Rainbow's head.

"Shut up," Rainbow stuck her tongue out, "Besides, it's just not the same."

Fluttershy nuzzled into her shoulder, "Oh, once I feel better, we'll lock ourselves somewhere and not come out."

Rainbow laughed, "Any idea when that'll be?"

"We'll see," Fluttershy giggled.

"So what'cha gonna do until that happens?" Ascentia asked, setting some books back into the shelf and gathering up Fluttershy's dirty laundry.

"Is Cielle still passed out on the couch?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah," Ascentia nodded, "And she's been... kinda weird all day."

"...Define weird," Fluttershy said, tilting her head.

"Considering it's Cielle, that's gotta say something," Rainbow snorted.

"She's been bitter, grumpy, and acts like Twilight does when she's on the rag," Ascentia explained, turning her cheek to show a red handprint, "Or all other times, really."

"Jeez..." Rainbow muttered, shaking her head, "Guess she's been getting all stressed about this, too."

"Poor Cielle," Fluttershy said sympathetically, "I guess she's not quite used to this sort of thing."

Ascentia shrugged, "We all have those times we just want to kill everything. It was kind of inevitable."

"Guess she's out," Rainbow said, leaning back a bit, "Maybe Pinkie can help..."

"Not for a few weeks. She and the Cakes went out of town for a vacation," Fluttershy placed a sympathetic hand on her arm.

"You should have seen them before they left," Ascentia whistled, "They'd just come back from visiting family. I don't know what happened, but Pinkie was sobbing like crazy when they got out of the car."

Fluttershy's eyes went wide with horror, "No... that's horrible! Who would ever do such a terrible thing to make her so sad?"

"I'd sure like to know, Pinkie being sad is like oil and water," Rainbow frowned.

"Not sure. I asked Pumpkin, but she just avoided the issue. Something about Mr and Mrs Cake's parents," Ascentia shrugged.

"Well, she can tell us about it when she's ready," Fluttershy reasoned.

Rainbow sighed, nodding in agreement, "Yeah, guess we'll have to wait till then. Still, now she's out of town! Can't even catch a break with her."

Ascentia shrugged, "You're having the worst luck this week," she said as she left the room and descended the stairs.

"You're telling me!" Rainbow griped, following her, "My wife's tired, my girlfriend's going bonkers and passing out everywhere, and all I got is my stupid hand."

Ascentia looked up from the stove and raised an eyebrow, "You know, you kinda talk about your girlfriends like they're puppies. You should consider going down to the shelter and adopting a miserable, abused girl who'd really appreciate it-OH WAIT!"

"Oh, well if you want to," Rainbow shrugged a bit.

Ascentia snickered, "I'm so flattered that you remembered me," she said sarcastically.

"Hey, you were busy and I may have asked before but kept getting interrupted," Rainbow stuck her tongue out.

"Well I'm not busy now, am I?" Ascentia asked.

Advancing on her, Rainbow grabbed her hips, "You better not be. 'Cause right now, your ass is mine, you dirty whore. Just who do you think you are, leaving me hanging like that? I oughtta make you rethink your strategy."

Ascentia bit her lip and lowered her eyelids, "I'm sorry, Rainbow. How could I be so insensitive?"

"You better be sorry," Rainbow turned her around to face the counter, smacking her bottom.

Ascentia shuddered and leaned back against her, nuzzling Rainbow with her entire body, "I am, Rainbow. Let me make it up to you?"

"You can do that by letting me fuck you hard," Rainbow said, swiftly pulling down her jeans and panties.

Ascentia bit down onto her lip and spread her legs, leaning against the counter, "Best way to pay my rent ever!"

"Fuck yeah!" Rainbow smacked her rear again, before grabbing hold of her hips and entering her swiftly.

Ascentia groaned softly as a familiar voice sounded from upstairs.

"Mama!" Sunrise called from her room.

"Not now Sunny! Mama's being put in her place!" Ascentia called back, her voice quivering.

"Mama!" Sunrise called again.

"Damn it..." Rainbow groaned, withdrawing from her, "Go on, go see what she wants."

Ascentia huffed in frustration and hiked her pants back up, "Coming, sweetheart!" she called, rushing upstairs.

Giving a groan, Rainbow fell to the floor, leaning her headagainst the cabinet, "At this rate, may as well cut my dick off. Least then I won't get horny."

"Um... Mom... your shorts are around your knees," came Scootaloo's voice from the doorway, "I can see your... uh..."

Looking up, Rainbow scrambled to get up and pull up her shorts, "Heh, sorry, squirt! Kinda... yeah, rough time. Didn't mean to make you see that..."

Scootaloo cleared her throat and set her bag back down onto the table, "So... how's Spectrum doing?"

"He's all good," Rainbow said, stretching and leaning against the counter, "We gave him some milk and put him for a nap."

Scootaloo nodded and busied herself at the counter, making a pot of coffee and trying not to think about Rainbow with her shorts down, "That's good. Where's Ma?"

"She's up in our room, taking it easy," Rainbow replied, "I think she's still awake, she was when we went to see her."

Scootaloo nodded and picked up her bag, "Alright, I have homework to do... I'll be upstairs."

"Have fun! ...Or try to!" Rainbow called after her, chuckling.

Scootaloo briefly looked back at her, and blushed before hurrying up the stairs and slamming her bedroom door behind her.

Going to the living room, Rainbow peeked in, seeing Cielle snoring away on the couch. Ascentia came down behind her, breathing heavily.

"Someone wanted to play," she whispered, rolling her sleeves up.

"Here I thought she needed a diaper change," Rainbow snorted.

"Nope, just wanted some quality time with Mama," she smiled, bringing her arms around Rainbow's waist and hugging her.

Rainbow returned it, "Well, can't say I blame her for that. You're her Mama and she loves you."

Ascentia nodded, "Yup. Just wish she had better timing," she nuzzled Rainbow's cheek.

"Same here, wish everyone had better timing," Rainbow nuzzled her back.

Ascentia leaned back and smiled, "You wanna try again? Sunny fell asleep, so I think we'll have time."

"All right, let's do it," Rainbow smirked, squeezing her rear.

Ascentia undid her belt and bent over the back of the armchair, "Alright, no more distractions!"

"Fuck yeah!" Rainbow yanked down her shorts, then Ascentia's jeans and panties. She grabbed her hips and entered her swiftly, "I'm gonna pound you into the ground!"

Ascentia moaned and spread her legs, pushing back against Rainbow's weight, "Damn Rainbow, you're a sub's dream come true!"

"I know I am," Rainbow groaned, chuckling, "It's awesome all my girls are such subs."

Ascentia shivered underneath her, "Mmhmm..."

"Even when you and Shy are bigger than me!" Rainbow giggled, thrusting in and out of her faster, "That's so freaking adorable."

Ascentia giggled underneath her, "Yeah, that's me. The cute giant..."

"Good to know," Rainbow snickered, panting a little.

"Always good to know," Ascentia moaned, biting her lip.

Spanking her rear, Rainbow accelerated, groaning loudly, "Ah yeah, this feels awesome! Take it, Asy! Take it like the cum dumpster you are!"

Ascentia yelped as Rainbow's hand struck her, "Yes Rainbow! I'll be a good little whore from now on. I promise!"

"You better be!" Rainbow smacked her again.

Ascentia moaned sharply, "I will! Just say the word and my pussy's your's!"

"Always!" Rainbow cried, "Ngh! Gonna... almost there!"

"Me too..." Ascentia moaned, pushing back against her.

Moments later, Rainbow shuddered and climaxed, feeling her seed shooting out, "YEAH! That's it...!"

Ascentia shuddered and bit her teeth into the chair as she climaxed, feeling both her own juices rushing out, as well as Rainbow's warm seed filling her. Falling limp against the chair, she smiled and hummed softly as she felt Rainbow leaning against her.

"Was I a good girl, Rainbow?" she asked with a giggle.

"Yes, you're a good girl," Rainbow patted her rear, "For a change."

Ascentia pouted, "I've been bad?"

"You're always bad, you little slut."

Ascentia mewled sadly, "But I thought you liked slutty girls, Rainbow."

Rainbow smacked her rear, "You dare question me?"

Ascentia shuddered, "Maybe..."

"No! No! Bad slut, no questions," Rainbow spanked her once more. She then pulled out, "Not unless you're asking for a little up the ass."

Ascentia shivered, "Rainbow! You know I love it up the ass! That's not a punishment."

"No, but I can MAKE IT!" Rainbow all but shoved into her ass this point.

Ascentia hissed as her eyes shot wide open. That time it had hurt, "Ah! Rainbow, that's too hard!"

"And that's why you shouldn't be a bad girl," Rainbow pulled out slowly, then went back in.

"No seriously!" Ascentia hissed, her knees buckling momentarily as images flashed before her eyes, "That really hurts!"

"...Shit, I'm sorry," Rainbow pulled out of her, wide-eyed, "I guess I went too hard and fast. Shit, damn it, I'm sorry! Got carried away."

Ascentia turned around and slid to the floor, pulling her jeans back up and rubbing her head, trying to make the flashbacks stop, "Just... we need a safeword for that..."

"Yeah... good idea," Rainbow carefully helped her up, "We never actually got to make one. I've got one with the girls, but we should think of one too."

"Yeah..." Ascentia said, hugging herself and giving her head another shake, "I'll just... I'll just be upstairs."

She turned and hurried up the stairs to her and Sunrise's shared bedroom, slamming the door shut behind her.

Sitting on the floor, Rainbow palmed her face and shook, "Damn it all, what have I done..."

"You set her off," Cielle said from the couch, "She has PTSD, remember?"

"I know, I know!" Rainbow groaned, "I wasn't thinking and just... urgh. Fuck... I can't believe I did that to her."

Cielle shrugged, "She'll be fine. She always bounces back."

"I know, but still. I gotta make it up to her," Rainbow managed to stand up, "I swear, it's moments like this I just want to cut my stupid dick off." She left the room, heading for the bathroom.

"Rainbow!" Cielle called after her, but Rainbow was already in the bathroom with the door locked behind her, "Ugh, fine. Wallow in self pity," she shrugged, going back downstairs and flopping onto the couch.

"Is everything all right?" Fluttershy came in the doorway, tying the belt of her silk robe, "Ascentia went running to her room, but said she needed time to be alone. Did something happen?"

"Rainbow triggered Asy, and now she's beating herself up about it," Cielle explained, her face in the pillow, "Same shit, different day."

"Oh..." Fluttershy murmured, then nodded, "Where did she go?"

"Bathroom," Cielle said, pointing upstairs, "Said something about cutting her dick off."

Usually things like that were to be taken with a grain of salt when Rainbow said it, but Fluttershy couldn't help feeling concerned. She ascended the stairs, going to the bathroom door and gently knocking.

"Rainbow? Rainbow, are you okay?"

"Yeah, just... shaving," Rainbow said through the door.

"Rainbow, I heard about what happened. It's okay... you just got carried away, it happens," Fluttershy coaxed, "You don't have to be so ashamed of yourself."

"Yeah, but it always happens to her, doesn't it?" Rainbow said through then door.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.

"...I almost raped her when she came to see me in the hospital," Rainbow confessed, "I thought she was Cielle in a disguise."

This confession had Fluttershy's eyes going wide with surprise, "Oh, goodness... Rainbow, Rainbow, no. You didn't know."

"Yeah, and I never seem to learn," Rainbow huffed, opening the door, "You think after the second time I'd learn that when Ascentia says 'stop' she's not playing..."

Fluttershy placed her hands on her shoulders, "Rainbow... I'm not saying you shouldn't have been more careful. But please, calm down. You know she forgives you and you know that you're not trying in any way to hurt her. You just have to be more careful with her."

"And what about the next time? And the time after that?" Rainbow asked, "You know, I always wondered how Twilight went from Ascentia's adorably clingy girlfriend to her worst nightmare."

"Do NOT say that!" Fluttershy half-shouted, then lowered her voice, "Please, don't say things like that. You're not going to become Twilight. If going too far is a problem, you just need to restrain yourself with her, to take it a slower pace," she took a breath, looking her in the eye, "Would you like to go see the doctor?"

"For what?" Rainbow asked, looking up in confusion.

"I'm asking you. But all right," Fluttershy let go of her shoulders, brushing some hair from her eyes, "Look, I know it's been very rough for the past few weeks, and I know you feel upset about this. But it's okay. You just have to be careful about what you do with her."

"I know, I just... she likes everything so rough, and degrading and... rapey," Rainbow groaned, "It get's confusing trying to figure out when the mood shifts, ya know?"

Fluttershy smiled in understanding, "I can understand that, Rainbow. Sometimes there can be a bit of a gray area in something like that. For now, you can just dial it back or try not to use it at all. Yes, I know she likes it, but sometimes you do have to focus on other things. Just try that."

Rainbow nodded, "Yeah... but then she makes that face, and she's so goddamn adorable and dear lord how could Twilight ever hit someone so goddamn cute!"

"I know... I know," Fluttershy hugged her warmly, nuzzling her, "You don't have to treat her like glass, but just restrain yourself in that regard."

Rainbow grumbled and nuzzled her, "I should go apologize..."

"Of course," Fluttershy pulled back and kissed her sweetly, "Just go talk to her about all this."

Rainbow got up and kissed Fluttershy on the cheek, before stepping past her and moving to Ascentia's bedroom door and knocking.

"Yeah?" came Ascentia's voice from inside.

"It's me, can I come in?" Rainbow called in.

"S-Sure, come on in," Ascentia said quietly.

Slowly, Rainbow entered the room, keeping the door half ajar. She stepped close to the bed, opting to sit down on a chair next to it. Ascentia was seated on her bed, Sunrise happily settled in her arms, but Ascentia looked far worse for the wear. She was shivering, her eyes darted around the room, and she seemed to react to tiny noises with a visible jump.

Exhaling, Rainbow wrung her fingers together nervously, "Look, I... I'm so sorry about what happened. I-well, I went too far and I'm sorry I hurt you."

"You d-didn't hurt me, Rainbow," Ascentia stammered, "You just... I just started having f-flashbacks and... like I said, we n-need a safe word..."

"I know, but not just that," Rainbow said, shaking her head, "I just can't do that to you, not like that. I can't trust myself right now."

Ascentia looked up, "But I'll be f-fine. It's not that bad..."

"No! No. I just need some time, okay? I gotta restrain myself a bit when I do that," Rainbow stated, "I don't want to hurt you again."

"Pfft," Ascentia scoffed, "I've heard that before."

After only two seconds it dawned on her what she'd just said.

"I didn't meant it like that..."

"Well, you better not have because I'm being serious here," Rainbow stood up, pacing a little, "I'm gonna learn. I just need some time."

"...Okay," Ascentia said softly, letting Sunrise climb off of her and roam the bed, "...Can I have a hug?"

Taking a breath, Rainbow nodded and went over, giving her a hug, "Yeah... sure thing."

"Thanks... for everything, Rainbow..." Ascentia said softly into her shoulder, "...You saved my life."

"All in a day's work..." Rainbow gave a little sigh of relief, patting her back.

Ascentia kissed her cheek and nuzzled her, "Do you need to be finished off?"

"Nah, it's okay... I took care of it," Rainbow assured, pulling away and kissing her cheek.

"Okay..." Ascentia made a small noise of disappointment, but kissed Rainbow's cheek again.

"Next time," Rainbow said, nuzzling her, "I'm sorry again."
