"Ah... Come on... You son of a... Twilight!" you yell out in frustration. "How do you put this damned thing on?!?"

"Oh come on!" she says as turns away from the mirror. "I just showed you how!"

You hold your tie out to her in desperation. "It just didn't click, I'm sorry. Please? We've got like an hour before we have to go to the wedding and I don't want to spend it tying knots."

Twilight lets out a haggard sigh as her horn starts to glow. "Just this once, now pay attention."

Your tie takes on a life of its own as it floats through the air and settles down on your neck. "Now see? You've got the pony," Twilight says as she holds up the smaller end of the tie. "And you've got the manticore." She punctuates this by holding up the wider end. "The manticore runs around the pony once... twice... and then pounces through the tree... then gets its tail stuck in the branches. And see? You've got a four in hoof knot."

You blink a few times and slowly nod. "...Yeah. I see."

"Great," Twilight says as she turns back to the mirror. "You look good in tie."

You shake your head as you join her side. "Bleh, I don't think so."

Twilight rolls her eyes, but turns her attention down to your side. "How are your ribs?"

You shrug a bit as you tug at the bandages. "It's alright. Haven't had to use the pain pills the doc gave me."

"Oh well that's good! Maybe you're recovering faster than he expected. We should ask him about getting those bandages off soon."

"Well, we can't exactly ask him at the altar," you say as you root around through Twilight's makeup drawer. "Where's your stash? I know you keep it in here."

"Drawer down," Twilight says idly as she runs a comb through her hair. "I figured you'd be after something, so there's a joint in there already made."

"Oh, you think of everything," you say as you find the joint she was talking about. You give Twilight a peck on the cheek before moving over to her bed and lying back on it. "You going to want a hit?" you ask as you fish out your lighter.

"Maybe in a bit, there's something I wanted to talk to you about that's been bugging me."

You let out a puff of smoke before setting the join down in the ashtray. "Oh? Something wrong?"

"Well, sort of," Twilight says as she walks over to the bed. "Remember a few days ago? When we got back together?"

"And I broke three ribs? Yeah, I think I remember that," you say sarcastically.

Twilight gives you a look before she takes a seat next to you. "Well, when you found out that I wasn't pregnant... You kinda looked... Sad. What was that about?"

You lay back in bed with a smile. "Twilight, remember when we were in the hospital and I said I'd love you and only you?"

Twilight nods as she lays down by your side.

"Well, I lied."

"What?" Twilight asks in disbelief. "What are you-"

You put a hoof to her lips and stop her from going any further. "Let me finish. You promised you wouldn't jump to conclusions."

Twilight looks to you for a moment before closing her mouth and looking at you intently.

"I'm going to love somebody else in the future," you say as you put a hoof around her shoulder. "It may be a colt, it may be a filly, I don't know. They-"

"What!?" Twilight yells as she sits up in confusion "What do you-"

"Let me finish!" you cry as you motion for her to lay back down. She reluctantly lays back down beside you and keeps her mouth closed as you continue.

"They're going to live with us for a long time and we're going to end up watching them grow up and they're going to love us with all their heart. And you know what the kicker is?"

"What?"

You draw her closer to you and wrap both of your hooves around her. "They're going to call you 'mom' and they're going to call me 'dad'."

Twilight's eyes seem to shine as she finally gets it. "Oh..."

"One day, I want to have a kid with you. I want that kid to have all the love a kid should have growing, the kind of love I didn't get. And to top it all off, I want to grow old with you, spending our days getting stoned as you read me The Metamorphosis and watch The Cutie Marx Brothers by a roaring fire."

Looking over to Twilight, you see her smile at you as her eyes start to tear up. "I really love you, you know that?" Slowly, she leans forward and presses her lips onto yours and kisses you deeply. You smile a bit halfway into the kiss, but gasp aloud and break the kiss.

"I REMEMBER!" you yell aloud.

"Remember what?" Twilight asks as she sits up. "I thought we remembered the entire night when-"

"HOTLIPS!"

Twilight looks at you for a moment, but her eyes go wide and a heavy blush starts to work up her face. "Oh come on!"

"What do you mean 'Oh come on'? What's wrong with being a good kisser, hot lips?" you ask teasingly.

"It sounds so embarrassing! How'd you even come up with that?"

"Oh you know how!" you cry as you wrap your hooves around her waist. "You were nearly shoving your tongue down my throat when-"

"Shut up shut up!" she yells with a heavy blush. "It's so embarrassing! I can't be-"

You nuzzle Twilight's neck, eliciting a giggle from her. "Don't be embarrassed. I think it's hot... But we kinda got off topic."

Her blush seems to go down a bit as she nods. "Yeah... But I honestly don't think we're ready for a child, yet."

"Well, yeah. I'm not saying I want to knock you up right now, I'm saying that one day, when you're ready and I'm ready, that a kid would be great idea"

"Yeah," Twilight says as she cuddles up to you. "It would be great."

You stay quiet for a little while and just soak it all in, until you turn to Twilight with the million dollar question. "Want to get married?"

Twilight nods as she lets out puff of smoke. "Yeah... That'd be awesome."

You can't help but laugh aloud. "I love you."

"Love ya too, sexy."
