"Are you serious Midnight?" Rarity spoke out in an overall shocked tone. Although she had known the time was coming soon, she did not realize that it would be longer than her brief period of time.

"Yea, I'm telling you first of course because, well, I want your approval on all of this. I don't want you to feel left out or unwanted. I love you and Twi the same and with the both of you saying that you're fine with the way our relationship is and has been going. I thought that it would be alright. But if you are at all against the idea I wilmmmmMPH!" He was cut short as Rarity pressed her lips to his, breaking away after a few moments smiling.

"Darling, You're rambling, and don't worry. I approve of your decision. I think it would be a welcome treat to have another mare in our soon to be marriage. I am still curious though as to when you are going to ask the princess as well." She giggled causing Midnight to sputter.

"W-what?! Seriously?! You have thought about that? Why?" He spoke in slight shock.

"Well my dear, she has has your foal for one, and I know you two have had some fun since the little ones birth. You can't hide anything from me." She giggled watching Midnight facehoof.

"Ok, I'm not going to ask how you know anything because I know you too well. Secondly, I had considered asking Tia but I'm not going to." He sighed removing his hoof from his face.

"Really? Why not?"

"Well for one it would cause way to many problems and undue stress, and before you ask what you should already know. Marrying a princess would turn her into a Queen and I into a King. Since I already have you and Twilight it would turn you two into queens as well." He groaned at the thought.

"Oh but that would be so wonderful darling. Being royalty and having everypony bow before me. It would be a dream come true." Rarity giggled as she nuzzled Midnight.

"More like a nightmare, I don't think you are taking into consideration the implications and complications this would cause. You would have royal duties every waking hour so that means you would have to give up your business. You wouldn't be able to go into town without an escort from the royal guard or myself. Your other friends and family would have trouble getting to see you due to your status. Should another nation decide to attack for any reason then your life would be in danger every waking hour. Not to mention being poisoned by tainted food that was from the hooves of an assassin or pissed off maid or butler. Honey, there is literally countless things to consider by becoming royalty. Your life as you know it now would vanish. Hell, you are taking a chance as it is by marrying an Alicorn that isn't royalty." Midnight sighed nuzzling Rarity gently. He could see her face contort in thought of what he had just said before she finally spoke.

"Midnight, as long as you are at my side I would take on any and everything that would be in my path. Although I do like this simple life in Ponyville. It wouldn't hurt to be a little more upper class." She chuckled giving him a kiss.

"You are just to much you know that." He chuckled as he watched her trot away from him into the next room swaying her tail back and forth teasing him.

"I do try darling, Now go on ahead. I do so want to hear all about how you asked Twilight the big question when you return. I would oh so love to see it in person but I still have many orders to fill. You can show me the memory when you get back." She giggled as she disappeared into the next room.

"Alright doll. I might not be back tonight though if all goes well with Twilight." He chuckled hearing her laugh out to the comment.

"Let her have it darling. I am sure she will be as grateful as I was when you asked me." She giggled.

Midnight gave a laugh as he left the boutique, slowing making his way to the library. His trip though took a slight detour as he headed through the market to pick up a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates for Twilight. Although he had initially planned this day long ago, it wasn't up until now that he would have the nerve or time to actually pull it off. As he headed through the marketplace he began to gather a few items here and there. Mainly just some items he would need for later, but as he stopped at Rose Lucks small booth, there was a couple in front of him looking over the flowers. The stallion purchased several flowers for the mare he was with. One being a short stem Rose while to others being several different types of flowers. He placed the rose into her mane as they happily munched onto the other flowers. He couldn't help but smile at the two as they trotted off.

Midnight stepped up to the booth placing his order. He pulled back a large bouquet of roses and another bouquet of various other flowers. He placed them into his portal stash before trotting off.

"Now to get that box of chocolates." He smiled as he trotted toward Sugar Cube Corner.

As he got closer he began to think more and more about how he should ask Twilight. He had considered different methods, like going out to eat in Canterlot and placing the ring into a cup of wine. Or maybe go stargazing and dangle the ring in front of the telescope as she is looking at the stars. He wanted this moment to be special unlike what happened with Rarity. He was so deep in thought that he didn't see the couple he had bumped into as they were leaving Sugar sube corner. The small cake that they had splattering all over his face as they made contact. He stepped back sputtering at the sudden cake in his face as he tried to blink the icing away.

"OH NO! I am so sorry, here, let me help you sir." A mare spoke out as the icing was quickly removed by magic. Midnight blinked a few times as he noticed the couple from before. They were the two that was at Rose Lucks booth purchasing a few flowers.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention and bumped into you two, and I ruined your cake as well. Please, let me make it up to you by getting another one for you. I know the shop keepers here. It will be no problem." Midnight smiled nervously to the two.

"Alright then, Again I must apologize." The mare spoke but was silenced by Midnight as he spoke up opening the door to the shop.

"By all means, don't worry about it. We both came out unscathed so there is no need to apologize." He chuckled as they entered the shop, the three of them heading to the counter.

"Well hey there Midnight." Mr. Cake spoke up. "Come to play with Pinkie and the foals?" He chuckled.

"Not today Mr. Cake, I have some big plans for today and just came by to get a box of chocolates. I would also like to get another cake for this lovely couple. Their other one ended up on my face at the door." He chuckled causing the couple to blush.

"Not a problem, I'll have the cake out in a few minutes." Mr. Cake smiled looking to them. "Alright then, give me a couple minutes." He smiled heading back into the kitchen.

"So, a box of chocolates huh? I'm guessing they are for a lucky mare." The stallion spoke up in a playful tone only to get a elbow in the side from the mare.

"Yea, I was planning on asking her to marry me today. It's been a long time waiting and I've just got up enough nerve to do it." Midnight chuckled.

"Oh I am so happy for you." The mare spoke up bouncing in place. "I'm sorry, we haven't introduced ourselves. My name is Starshine and this playful stallion is Night Light." She smiled.

"Midnight Flame, Pleasure to meet you two. I haven't seen you two in Ponyville before. Are you new?" He asked looking back and forth between them.

"Oh no, we're just on town to visit our daughter." Starshine giggled.

"Here is your orders." Mr Cake chirped as he placed them onto the counter. Midnight placing some bits down as the three ponies left the cake shop. They all began heading in the same direction.

"I guess we have a similar destination." Midnight chuckled to the two.

"Indeed." Starshine smiled as they began to near the library.

"I'm curious though, you said you were visiting your daughter today. Is it her birthday?" Midnight asked nodding to the cake.

"No, We tend to get a cake to share when we visit. Our daughter isn't very big on sweets." Starshine giggled.

"I know my mare friend loves these chocolates." Midnight smirked as they stopped at the door to the library.

"Well I guess this is where we say goodbye." Starshine smiled up to the Alicorn as she knocked on the library door.

"Uh, one final question, what did you say your daughters name was again?" Midnight croaked out, now slightly nervous.

"Twilight Sparkle. Shes the resident librarian of Ponyville. Why do you ask?" Starshine spoke but stopped as Midnight face hoofed.

"Hello?" Twilight asked as she opened the door to see her mother, father and colt friend at the door. "Mom? Dad? Midnight?"

The couple looked up to Midnight in slight shock for a moment before Starshine began to cry and hug Twilight. Night Light looked up to Midnight with a smirk before speaking.

"Welcome to the family my boy." He chuckled only to get a "WHAT?!" from Twilight.

After a few minutes of explaining everything and Twilight of course coming to the conclusion on her own, she was literally vibrating in anticipation as Midnight bowed before her and pulled the ring on a golden necklace from his stash portal.

"Twilight, would you do me the honor of making me the happiest stallion in the universe and be my bride?" He smiled up to her watching as her eyes began to run like faucets. She leapt forth wrapping her hooves around Midnight's neck.

"YES!" She shouted before kissing him. Starshine and Night Light sitting across from them on the couch. Both holding each others hooves smiling as they both gave a silent tear of happiness. After a couple minutes of watching the two kiss Starshine finally spoke up breaking the silence.

"So when should we expect a grand foal?" She giggled watching the to separate quickly.

"MOTHER?!" Twilight shouted as she turned a blistering red only to make her parents laugh. Midnight blushing as well.

"I still have a lot of studying to do before that happens. A foal will take up all of my time, I would at least like to graduate from Celestia's schooling before that happens. Besides, Midnight already has a foal you can baby." Twilight suddenly pulled a hoof up to her mouth as what she had just said hit her.

"WHAT?!" Both of her parents shouted in shock.

"Yes, well, I have a foal already." Midnight chuckled nervously.

"This is unacceptable! How could you do such a thing and not stay with the mother of the foal. Who is she?!" Starshine shouted out in anger.

"Princess Celestia." Midnight blurted out causing them to laugh for a moment thinking it was a joke.

"Are you serious?! You're the father of Starlight?" Starshine asked in shock.

"I would think the last name would have given me away." Midnight chuckled as he watched realization hit the two ponies.

*THUD*

"MOM!" Twilight shouted as her mother passed out on the floor, Night Light glaring at Midnight for a moment before speaking.

"So you have a foal with the princess and you want to marry my daughter. Are you insane or is this all a game to you?" He snorted.

"Well I'm not just marrying Twilight, I have another fiancee who approves of me asking Twilight as well." Midnight chuckled only to see Night Light gawk.

"Ok, I think I need a drink." Night Light spoke as he headed into the kitchen.

After another minute Starshine awoke, gasping as the thoughts of what had just been said hit her again, She looked up to the Alicorn before speaking.

"Please tell me you were joking." She spoke still in shock.

"No mother, he wasn't, and he has another fiancee as well that will also be a part of our family. We have all agreed on this already and it is my decision so there is no need to worry." Twilight sighed before Starshine snapped her head to Twilight, eyes wide.

"You mean he already asked another pony to marry him?!" She squeaked out.

"Yup." Midnight chuckled.

*THUD*

"UGH!" Twilight groaned out in annoyance as her mother passed out once again.

After about an hour of talking and a couple of death threats later, Midnight had been welcomed to the family. Albeit reluctantly. Twilight's parent's new that polygamy was practiced in this day and age but never expected their daughter to become part of one of those relationships. Although a bit uncomfortable, the Sparkle family agreed to welcome the Alicorn into the family.

"So about those grand foals." Starshine giggles seeing the two get uncomfortable about the subject.

"It will be a few years before that happens mother. Don't get your hopes up anytime soon." Twilight groaned.

"It's alright honey, I'm sure he has plans as well being an Alicorn." Night Light chuckled.

"Well saving the world seems to be my job, but right now I'm one of the captains of the royal guard." Midnight chuckled.

"Captain? But I thought Shining was captain." Starshine asked looking to Twilight.

"It's complicated really. There are five captains now, Midnight took it upon himself to retrain the guard, including my brother." Twilight sighed.

"Really? I thought the guard wouldn't allow anyone to retrain them without a fight." Night Light spoke up rather concerned.

"Yea, unfortunately the negotiations had to come to blows. That's how I got to retrain them, and before you ask, Shining is perfectly fine. After a short confrontation we agreed to have the guard retrained."

Although The Sparkles looked rather hurt that Midnight had injured one of their young. They accepted the fact that it was for not only his own good, but the guards as well. They continued talking for a while longer, sharing the cake they had brought, along with the chocolates and flower bouquet Midnight had brought for Twilight. Although it had been a strange day to say the least. It turned out pretty well in the end.
