Rush’s eyes cracked open, and he found his arms were now wedged snugly between two separate pairs of breasts. He looked at the two mares laying beside him and a smile spread across his face.

Being a light sleeper, Rarity could feel the small movements he made, yawning as she slowly woke up with him. “Mmm… good morning, Rush… you slept well, I take it?”

“Very, how did you sleep?” Rush asked quietly, smiling over at her.

“I did sleep well, yes. Though, I feel waking up may have been better, given our situation…” She trailed off, wiggling her torso around his arm. Looking across from herself, she saw that Derpy was in a similar state, though still asleep.

Rush grinned a little more, saying, “I think Derpy slept pretty well too.” He moved his arm from Rarity’s chest and wrapped it back around her, pulling her back onto his chest.

“Do all zebras have such thick fur?” She suddenly asked.

“Um… I think so.” He said, sounding a little curious as to question.

“Ah. Just wondering, is all… most stallions have very short fur, and yours seems to be very fluffy, especially on your chest… I quite like it.” She purred out, leaning up to kiss him. He met her halfway, their lips gently connecting with a spark of passion. She broke the kiss, leaning her head into the crook of his neck, saying, “I’ve been dreaming of this for so long… weeks, near to a month, I’ve been wanting to kiss you, kiss Derpy, feel your touch… Celestia, it all sounds so silly, when I say it out loud.”

“It’s not silly. I mean… when you fall in love, that’s normal.” Rush said, nuzzling her a little.

“Is that how you felt when you first met Derpy, then?”

“Yes, that’s exactly how it felt… and how it still feels. But now you’re part of that, too.”

“R-really?” She asked, blushing a bit.

He nodded, “Yeah, really.” He accented it by nuzzling and kissing her cheek.

“Hmm… did I miss something?” Derpy said out of nowhere, blinking her eyes from the morning light.

“Better than ever… I feel it may have been thanks to sharing the bed with you two. You know I’ve always been kind of… insecure, to say the least, so to have two wonderful, beautiful ponies say they love me? Very comforting.” Derpy said, getting serious for a moment. She looked down, and noticed where Rush’s arm was, along with another something sticking out. “And it seems like you slept great too, Rush, what with your big buddy already ’standing to attention’.” She giggled.

Rush’s face reddened a little and he quietly laughed. “That’s always happened since we started dating…” He mumbled.

Rarity hugged him a bit tighter. “Well, then, I suppose it’ll happen all the more often, what with you being with not one, but two mares, hmm?” She said, her eyelids going a bit lower.

His face seemed to get a little brighter, “I might never… um, see it soft again…” He said in a half joking tone.

“I do believe neither of us would mind such a thing, am I correct, Derpy?”

“Very much so, Rarity.” She replied.

“In fact… I think I saw a bit of a ‘reaction’ of sorts last night, when we discovered our passion for one another… care to make sure?” Rarity asked, leaning closer to Derpy once more.

“Not at all…” Derpy replied. Locking lips again, they slowly closed their eyes, the kiss quickly becoming more passionate.

Rush’s eyes went wide as he stared at the two, though it was more than just his eyes that were growing larger. Rarity opened one of her eyes, looking down at the tent he was making in the blankets, and smiled. Closing her eye again, she leaned further over Derpy, rolling them so they lay directly on top of Rush. “This is... wow.” Rush mumbled, fidgeting around a little.

Rarity fully pulled off of Derpy for a moment, leaving the mare panting, and sultrily asked, “Mmm… do you like this, Rush? Do you like seeing us, your mares, being so passionate with each other, just for your pleasure?”

“Y-yes.” Rush nodded slowly.

“We should probably… g-get up… before anything further happens…” Derpy spoke up.

Rarity slowly sighed. “Yes, you’re right, dear. It’s far too fast for me to do anything with either- or both- of you,” She said, giving them each one last kiss. “I’ll go and freshen up, and give you both some time to wake up Dinky and such.”

“A-alright.” Rush said. “Oh! I almost forgot, what would you two like for breakfast?”

“Waffles!” Derpy exclaimed.

“Hmmm… yes, waffles sound delicious. Thank you, darling.” Rarity said. “See you two soon enough.” Rarity walked out, heading into the bathroom and beginning to clean herself.

“Why don’t you go get Dinky up and I’ll go get started on breakfast?” Rush asked lightly hugging Derpy and kissing her on the lips.

“Okay. I’ll tell her you said good morning, too.” Derpy said, getting up from the bed and putting on some new clothes. “Should we get Sweetie and Dinky together, and all three of us tell the two of them? Or should we all tell Dinky first?”

“Let’s tell them at the same time.” Rush said. “So, how about after breakfast we get them both together and tell them?”

“How do we get Sweetie over? Or, wait, should we just bring Dinky to the Boutique?” She asked.

“I say we just take Dinky over to the Boutique.”

Dinky’s eyes slowly opened up and she let out a long yawn, saying, “Oooaah, good morning mommy.” She peeked out from under her blanket.

“Awww… are you just now waking up, honey?”

“Uh-huh.” Dinky nodded sleepily.

“Mmm… well, Rush is making waffles, so just come out when you get dressed, okay?”

“Alright mommy, I’ll be out soon!” Dinky smiled as she quickly got out of bed. “Tell daddy I said good morning!”

Derpy smiled at this, getting a bit teary-eyed from it. “O-okay, Muffin… I love you.” SHe said, slowly closing the door and walking to the kitchen, where Rush was. “She says ‘Good morning, daddy!’”

Rush smiled widely and turned slightly to look back at Derpy. “That’s so sweet!” He said giddily. “It’s so great that she’s calling me daddy!”

“I think it’s wonderful… I wonder how she’ll react to having another mommy, of sorts?” Derpy asked, draping her arms around Rush’s shoulders.

“She really seems to like Rarity already. But it’ll still probably be a bit more than just getting a dad…” Rush said, reaching up and gently grabbing her hand. “That’s all up to her, though.”

“She also gets along very well with Sweetie, so the transition from her being friends to being sisters will be pretty easy, yeah?”

“Yeah, I’m sure that’ll be smooth.”

“Yeah… are the waffles coming along well?” Derpy asked.

“Yep, they're getting close to being done.” Rush nodded, looking back down at the batch he was working on. “Why don’t you go sit down? I’ll bring the waffles out when they’re done.” He leaned back and kissed her on the cheek. “Alright?”

“Sure, just let me tell Rarity first.” Derpy said. Reluctantly letting him go, she walked over to the bathroom, knocking on the door.

“Oh, you can come in! I’m just washing up my face.” Rarity called.

Derpy walked in, saying, “Well, I just wanted to tell you that the waffles are nearly done… wow, you clean up really well, Rarity!”

“Thank you, darling.” Rarity smiled, turning to Derpy. “You do too, from everything that I’ve seen.”

Derpy blushed. “Oh, I-I try… but I don’t look anywhere near as good as you do.”

“Nonsense.” Rarity waved her hand. “You do, and dare I say, there have been times when I’ve been jealous of you.”

“R-really?”

“Of course!”

“Oh… I n-never knew…” She said. Walking towards Rarity, she gave her a tight hug, along with a fairly deep kiss, showing her how much she appreciated the compliment. Rarity hugged Derpy back and squeezed the pegasus close. Pulling off of her, Derpy said, “W-we should probably… stop before we get caught u-up in it like we did last night.”

“Yes… there’s going to be plenty of time for it later…” Rarity nodded slowly.

Derpy smiled, turning to walk out of the bathroom, hips swaying as she wrapped her tail around Rarity’s arm. “You’ll love his waffles… they’re always really tasty.”

“I can’t wait.” Rarity licked her lips. The two of them walked out into the kitchen, Dinky following behind them.

“Uh… mommy?”

“Yes, muffin?” Derpy said.

Dinky looked up at her mother, a confused look upon her face. “Why is Rarity here?”

“I came over to, um…” Rarity started to say.

“Rarity came over to spend time with Rush and I… and, well… if you can wait for a little while, I promise that we’ll explain everything, alright?” Derpy said, leaning down to her daughter’s level.

“Ok, mommy… is Rush making breakfast?” She asked.

Rarity laughed a little bit, smiling.

“They’re done!” Rush called as he walked out with a large platter full of waffles, already all dressed up with butter and syrup, which he set right down on the table. He turned right back around and walked back into the kitchen, coming back out moments later with four plates and sets of utensils.

“Gosh, Rush… those smell amazing… how do you make such delicious food? I mean, it’s nearly been a month, but you still surprise me with just how good it is!” Derpy exclaimed.

“I guess I just know how to make certain foods.” Rush shrugged. “I really don’t know what’s so amazing about it...”

“Now, I really can’t wait to eat…” Rarity laughed, “So, why don’t we all sit down and start eating?”
=====================================================================

“You think you ate enough, Dinky?” Derpy asked her.

“Mmmhmm… my tummy is full…” Dinky groaned, letting out a small burp.

“I can’t eat any more either… but they’re sooo good.” Rarity said, groaning quietly.

“Well… we gotta head over to your place, Rarity. If you want, we can rest for a good 15 minutes, but at some point…” Her eyes shifted to Dinky for a moment, “We all have to explain this.”

“Yes, I agree.” Rarity nodded.

“I think the sooner we say it the better… but maybe resting a little longer isn’t so bad.” Rush said.

“I’m gonna rest on the couch, then… feel free to join me. I’m taking Dinky with me, though, I need my little cuddle bug!” Derpy said, grabbing Dinky.

“Ah! Help, she’s gonna tickle meeee!” Dinky yelled, laughing as she was stolen away.

Rush chuckled and a wide smile grew on his face.

“You’ll never catch me, I’m the tickle mommy!” Derpy cackled, running out of the room. “Prepare to laugh!”

Rush’s smile grew as he leaned back in his seat. “Everything’s so great around here.” He mused.

“I agree. The relationship between you three… it’s so sweet... It reminds me of my own, with my sister.” Rarity agreed, scooting her chair over towards Rush’s, resting her head on his shoulder.

“I hope we can all share a relationship like this…” Rush sighed, gently wrapping his arm around Rarity.

“So do I, dear, so do I… I feel like Sweetie needs another filly her age to be friends-or, well, more- with. I mean, Applebloom and Scootaloo do a fine job of being friends with her, but… I think she needs a closer bonds with someone her age, and not just an older sister… you know what I mean, dear?” Rarity asked.

“Of course I do.” Rush nodded. “It’s always good to have more friends, especially with how young they are. The more time they spend with their friends usually means the longer they’re going to be happy!”

“Like you wouldn’t believe, dear. My relationship with the rest of the Elements has merely grown over the years, instead of merely withering away.” She nodded.

Rush squeezed Rarity closer, his voice near brimming with joy as he spoke, “I just can’t get over how amazing this all is.” His smile grew.

“Is that so?” She purred, leaning her head further back into Rush’s neck. “What is it that you can’t believe, exactly?”

“Everything, really…” Rush joked, gingerly moving Rarity up onto his lap so he could more effectively hug her. “I never honestly thought my life could turn out so perfectly… but now I have the two most beautiful mares in all of Equus in love with me… and I’m in love with both of them.” He let out a long sigh, gently nuzzling his face into Rarity’s hair.

Rarity blushed, cooing at the gentle treatment and kind words. “Mmm… you’re too sweet, Darling. I’m hardly one of the most beautiful mares on Equus. Why, honestly, I don’t even hold a candle to Fluttershy… no matter how much I beautify myself, I could never compare to her natural looks.” She sighed.

“You’re just putting yourself down.” Rush shook his head, “You and Derpy ARE the most beautiful mares ever.” He stated, kissing her on the cheek. “I’m never, ever going to let you two forget that.”

“Oh, s-stop it, you…” Rarity giggled. “You’re only making all of this harder to believe, you know. Not only do I have a beautiful pegasus to be with, but a zebra nearly as kind as the Element herself!” She exclaimed, kissing him back. His lips made solid contact with hers and she was squeezed against his chest.

Rarity blushed even more, moaning lightly as she melted even deeper into the kiss. She loved the feeling of his broad chest against her body, and the teasing flick of his delicious tongue on her lips only made her kiss him harder. Lost in a throng of passion Rarity felt his large strong hands slide just a little further south, brushing over her flank.

“Hey, you two! Are you ready to gooo…” Derpy walked in, trailing off as she saw the compromising position that Rush and Rarity were in. “Um...as much fun as that looks l-like- and it looks like a lotta fun- we have to go…”

Rush pulled back, “Right, this can wait for a better time… maybe with all three of us.” He chuckled.

Rarity merely sat there and blinked for a moment. “O-oh… yes, of course. Ah, let us h-head over to the Boutique, yes?” She asked, standing up from Rush’s lap and fanning her face.

“Oooh! We’re going to the Boutique? Daddy, can you carry me there?” Dinky ran in and asked Rush, tugging on his pant leg.

“Of course I can.” Rush smiled, gently picking Dinky up, positioning her on his shoulders.

“Wheee!” Dinky squealed. “Let’s go!”

“I guess we should head out now, yeah?” Derpy asked, turning to Rarity.

Rarity nodded slowly, saying, “Um, y-yes, we should.”

Rush was already out the door with Dinky. Derpy walked over to Rarity, and looped her hand with the unicorn’s. Slowly, they walked out behind Rush, Derpy closing the door behind them.

“So, Daddy?” Dinky asked. “Do I have two mommies now?”

“Yes, Dinky, you do. And do you know what it means to have Rarity as your second mommy?” Rush asked, looking up at Dinky with a large smile.

“Ummm… I get twice as many cookies?” She said.

Rush laughed, “Maybe, but there’s something even better.” He said, “But that’s a surprise.”

“I’ll give you a hint, Muffin! It has to do with one of your friends.” Derpy said.

“Hummm… Applebloom?” Dinky asked.

“No, but close!” Derpy giggled.

“Sweetie Belle?” Her daughter continued.

“Yep!” Derpy said. “If Rarity’s your mommy, then that makes Sweetie Belle…” She trailed off.

Dinky gasped. “Sweetie Belle is gonna be my sister?!” She yelled out.

“Yep.” Rush nodded, his smile growing.

“Oh my goddess! Thank you thank you thank you!” She squealed, hugging Rush’s head like there was no tomorrow.

Derpy turned to Rarity. “I guess she really likes that, huh? Also, I can’t wait to have Sweetie Belle as a daughter… she seems so sweet!”

“Sorry to slightly poke your bubble, but in all reality… she’d be Dinky’s cousin, and your niece, Derpy, as well as Rush’s.” Rarity explained.

“Awww…” Dinky groaned. She sat up a little after, asking, “Wait, does that mean I can call you Aunt Rarity?”

“If you want to, but I’d still be your second mommy, silly.” Rarity laughed, smiling widely.

“Umm… well, if you’re my second mommy, what do I call you? I already call my first mommy “Mommy”, so it’d get a bit cofnu… con-confusing.” Dinky observed.

“It is very confusing, but you’re a really smart filly, I know you’ll be able to come up with something to call Rarity.” Rush assured.

“You could just call her “Mother”.” Derpy suggested. “I think she’d like the formality, am I right Rarity?”

“That’d be absolutely perfect.” Rarity nodded.

“So it’d be Mommy and… Mother? Huh… okay!” Dinky chirped. “I’ll probably keep calling Sweetie Belle by her name, though.”

“That’s fine, Muffin.” Derpy assured her.

“I’m sure that’d be just fine with her.” Rarity said.

“Great!” Dinky said. “Also… does this mean we’re all gonna move into the Boutique?”

“Sadly, the Boutique is a little small for us all to live in.” Rarity said with a sigh.

“Oh…” Dinky frowned. She then smiled, saying, “Well, at least it’s close, so you all can go on dates all the time!”

Derpy blushed. “Y-yes… that is a benefit, Muffin.”

“A… uh, very big one…” Rush nodded, his face flushing a little.

“W-well, we’re almost at the Boutique…” Rarity said.

“Are we?” Derpy asked, looking ahead and seeing Rarity’s shop. “Huh. We got here a lot faster that I thought we would.”

“It just seems to get faster every time.” Rush pointed out.

“Why don’t we all head inside and I’ll go see if Sweetie is up?” Rarity suggested.

“Can I go and wake her up, Rar-Mother?” Dinky asked, correcting herself in the end.

“Of course you can.” Rarity smiled. Rush lifted Dinky off of his shoulders and set her down on her feet.

“Thanks, Mother!” Dinky smiled, waving at them as she ran upstairs.

Derpy giggled. “She’s so energetic… it makes her a little hard to take care of, sometimes, but it’s so enjoyable to watch her run around like that.”

“Yeah, it’s a great sight to watch.” Rush nodded, turning towards the two mares.

“Why don’t we all sit down while we wait for them?” Rarity offered.

“Okay!” Derpy agreed. Grabbing ahold of Rush and Rarity, she sat them all down on the couch, with Rush in the middle and his two mares on the sides. “How’s this?” In response, Rush wrapped his arms around the two and squeezed them even closer.

“Wonderful, dear.” Rarity smiled.

“Absolutely perfect.” Rush grinned, nuzzling the both of them.

“Hehehe… you’re such a sweetheart, Rush…” Derpy blushed.

“Hey, Derpy.” Rush said, looking down at her.

“Y-yeah?”

He wasted no time and his lips touched hers, pulling her right up against his body.

“Oh my.” Rarity giggled quietly.

Derpy’s eyes widened at first, but then the slowly closed. Her body went limp against his as she melted into the kiss, her wings slowly stretching out in a show of how much pleasure she was receiving, just from a kiss. Rush slowly pulled back from the kiss and nuzzled her cheek. “Mm, this really reminds me of something…” He mused.

“And what would that be?” Rarity asked.

“Just… uh… a surprise.” Rush said, trying to change the subject.

“A surprise? For whom, dear?” Rarity continued.

“It’s not important right now.” Rush said. “It wouldn’t really be a surprise if whomever it was going to be for was expecting it.”

“Hmmm… yes, I suppose that makes sense…” She agreed. Looking up at him sultrily, she asked, “Now, would you mind giving me some of what Derpy had? I’ve been a good filly lately, don’t you think I deserve a reward?”

Rush laughed softly and kissed Rarity, much like what he did with Derpy. He pulled her even closer, too, and at this point the three were basically a pony-pile on the couch. After a few moments he pulled back from the kiss and nuzzled Rarity’s cheek, before he pulled both their heads against his chest.

“Heh… fancy meeting you here, Rarity.” Derpy quipped.

“It’s quite the nice surprise though.” Rarity joked, reach around Rush and hugging both him and Derpy.

“Yeah! It’s always great to meet a beautiful lady, right Rush?” Derpy laughed.

“Well… beautiful is an understatement for you two.” He teased. The both of them blushed at that, looking at each other for a few moments before nodding.

“Hmmm…” Derpy said, slowly crawling up Rush’s body, “Don’t forget about yourself, love.”

“Yes, you’re the very picture of virility, you know…” Rarity continued, crawling alongside Derpy.

Rush’s face flushed a little, “Um, thank you… but uh… maybe…” He started slowly.

“Maybe what?” They said at the same time, faces just inches from his.

“T-there’s two fillies in the house…” Rush mumbled.

Rarity blinked. “Oh. Ah… well, he is right, Derpy…”

In a similar state, Derpy said, “Y-yeah… we should save this for when they’re asleep, or gone… maybe a few days from now, or somesuch. Though, I don’t think I want to get up from this comfortable bed.” Rarity nodded in agreement, and the two of them stopped advancing on him, but continued to use him as a matress, their bodies pressed up against his.

“W-well that’s fine…” Rush said, hugging the two again, warming them up even more. “Hm… you know, they’ve been up there for a while.” He commented.

“Sweetie takes a good few minutes to get dressed, darling. The result of living with me is that you actually start to try and make your clothes match.” She explained. “Because if you don’t, then I do, and she’s gone through that too many times to want to do it again.”

“Well, a good fashion sense is hardly a consequence.” Derpy observed.

“I agree.” Rush nodded.

Rarity beamed. “Well, regardless, they should be down any second no-”

“Mommy, Daddy, Rari- I mean, Mother! Sweetie’s up!” Dinky said as she tromped down the stairs, Sweetie Belle just behind her.

“I’m guessing you told her about everything than, yes?” Rush asked.

“Yeah, but… she still has some questions.” Dinky said. She ran up to the couch and jumped on top of the pile, snuggling in comfortably between Derpy and Rarity.

“Um, does that make Rush my brother?” Sweetie piped up as she sat down on the couch, looking over to Rarity.

“Brother-in-law would be the proper term… but that’s more of something for later.” Rarity said.

“So, that means you’re all getting married?” Sweetie inquired, tilting her head curiously.

“Hopefully.” Rarity said, looking at Derpy and Rush.

“One day…” Derpy added, hugging both of them.

“Mhm. We will be.” Rush nodded in agreement, squeezing everyone on the couch in a giant hug.

“Ooooh, does that mean now me and Dinky can have sleepovers more often?” Sweetie asked, bouncing a little.

“Of course it does.” Rarity laughed, smiling a little more.

“Yay!” Sweetie cheered.

“Awesome! Hey Sweetie, come up here! It’s really comfy, cuz my moms are soft.” Dinky said, waving Sweetie over to the pile. Sweetie instantly climbed onto the pile and hugged Dinky tightly.

“This is awesome!” She laughed, smiling widely.

“Yeah, it is!” Dinky agreed, hugging Sweetie back. She stopped after a few seconds though, and said, “Um… Mother?”

“Yes, Dinky?” Rarity asked.

“If… if you and Sweetie are sisters, and you’re my mommy… is she my aunt?” Dinky queried.

“Well… hm… I’d feel it’d be more of you being cousins.” Rarity started, scratching her chin.

I don’t mind having Sweetie be my aunt, though.” Dinky said. “I think it would be pretty cool!”

“I think that’s how it might actually work out.” Rush offered.

“That’s really cool!” Sweetie said. “Oh, uh, when can I tell my friends?”

“You can tell your friends whenever you like, Sweetie!” Derpy said. “I’m pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say that we’re fine with others knowing.

“Yeah, that’s perfectly fine, I’m sure they’d like to know!” Rush nodded.

“Like Derpy said, you can tell your friends whenever you like.” Rarity agreed.

“Okay, this is so amazing!” Sweetie smiled, hugging everyone as best she could. The five of them stayed there for a while after that, each of them hugging the rest, and none of them noticed as they all fell asleep in a warm, cuddly pony pile.
