Having a child wasn't easy for Tumor and you better believe the word 'overwhelming' was a complete fucking shit-stain of an understatement. However, with the help of Carrot Top and his brothers, he was relatively at ease and even started forming a strong connection with his own daughter, especially as she got older. As she grew, he noticed a few of his own personality characteristics developing in her, which was a bit strange due to her young age.

Let's give you an idea of what we're working with here. Upon her birth she was named Leach by her father, this was mostly do to the fact that she had inherited his ability to sap energy from anything she was near. Unlike him though, she could only take pure energy; meaning that she couldn't take things that had energy such as fire, electricity and so on. She was a red unicorn with a bright orange mane and green eyes.

Since she was old enough to walk they could tell that she was definitely the adventurous type. She would wander around for hours and try to discover new things.

Allot had changed for the triplets in the six years that had passed. They became much more open to the world, saving several different towns multiple time and were seen as heroes all over Equestria. The only thing that hadn't really changed were their mouths, even around the child they still swore like sailors. More specifically; Tumor and Jack.

Each of them had even taken on new looks. Tumor still wore his signature black cargo pants, but tossed aside his T-shirt and vest and started wearing long sleeve red shirts with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Something about it being just enough to keep him warm while still being comfortable. He kept his hair short and would have it recolored regularly so it would stay black.

Jack moved on to more of a tough guy look. He let his blond hair grow out so it was almost at his shoulders, but kept it combed back. He held onto the blue jeans, but took to wearing black wife-beaters to show off his muscles. He enjoyed being a show off, especially to his not-so-built brothers.

Sebastian always preferred a more gentlemanly look and went from wearing just a normal dress shirt and pants to a full on tux everywhere he went. The only other color on his body that wasn't black was the white tie that he wore around his neck. Never being a fan of over coats though, he settled for a dress vest, which was enough for him to be content with his appearance.

Tumor's relationship with Carrot Top went beyond anything he could have comprehended. He genuinely cared for this mare and did his best to show it through his jackass nature by doing small things; like bringing her flowers or helping out around the house or garden.

Jack and Twilight grew significantly closer too. However, he was not going to allow himself to have a child, so when the two finally became intimate he made sure to always use protection, but fire-proof condoms were a bitch to get a hold of. He would show her affection, but his hardened nature made it difficult for others to see.

Sebastian and Maud were an interesting case. With both of them being the way they were it was hard to tell how it was going. The two were always so expressionless and seemed like they were constantly being cold to anyone who approached them, but they almost never left each others sides, which must be some sort of positive sign.

In short, all of them were happy with the choices they've made and the paths they had chosen. Although they had relatively settled down though, they never lost their free spirits.

Tumor sat comfortably within his home, alone. Carrot Top was at work and Derpy had moved out some time ago to be with some brown stallion with an hourglass cutie mark. Since Spring was just around the corner, he decided that some Spring cleaning was in order. However, he didn't even have to lift a finger for that to get done. While he sat on the couch reading the Ponyville Newspaper his red energy filled the house, moving things around and putting them in order while brooms were sweeping the floors on their own and the dishes washed themselves.

As he did this a familiar voice punctured his eardrums from upstairs. "Daddy!"

His maternal instincts kicked in and his powers completely shut down, dropping everything his energy was holding as he charged up the stairs. Once up he kicked open his daughters bedroom door to find her dangling upside down in the air. He snickered a bit before busting out laughing.

She gave him a look of annoyance as she flailed around in the air. "Stop laughing and help me, jerk!"

Once Tumor recollected himself he reached up and grabbed Leach from the air, pulling her back down to the ground before ruffling her mane a bit. "I see you're still working on the whole flying thing."

"Well, duh! Why wouldn't I want to fly?"

"Can't argue with that, it's pretty great."

"How did you learn to do it so well?"

"By going to bed and waking up in the exact same position that you were just in." He explained, earning a small giggle from the little filly. "Consider yourself lucky. When I find you like that I pull you down, but when your uncle Jack would find me like that, he'd grab a bat and beat me like a pinata."

Tumor left the room and made his way back downstairs, using his powers to pick up where he had left off on cleaning. Leach followed close behind him, debating asking him a question. "So...Aunt Twilight invited me to go to her castle for tea yesterday." She said, trying to ease into it. Tumor wasn't exactly overprotective of her, but he did his best to make sure that she was alive and sometimes he would over-react to her going to certain places. Especially with one of his brothers.

"Sounds fun, when you get there tell book horse to eat a bag of dicks." He replied. Although he was a bit uncomfortable with her going to the castle and being around Jack, he knew that no matter what, he wasn't going to let his niece get hurt. And that Twilight would keep an eye on them, you know, just in case.

"So I can go?" She asked excitedly, earning a confirming nod from her father. She hugged his leg and thanked him before taking off toward the castle. Unknown to her he made sure to lock on to her energy so that he would know if something were to happen to her on the way.

The trip didn't take too long. She was stopped several times along the way by other ponies her age and even a few adults. Being the daughter of a celebrity tends to grand some ponies a certain level of attention. After dealing with the 'Paparazzi Scumbag', as her father calls then, she continued her journey to the castle.

Arriving at her destination only a short while later, she entered and started looking around for the princess. She found Twilight sitting in the throne room, getting things ready for the tea party she had asked the filly to join. The table ha a large white cloth going across it and near the center were several cups, bowls of sugar cubes, and a tea kettle.

"Perfect, she said to no one after making a few adjustments with her magic. While looking over the table one last time she spotted Leach standing on the other side of the room. "Hi, sweetie! What are you doing all the way over there?"

The filly smiled and trotted over to her aunts side, earning herself a hug in the process.

"You're just in time, I just finished setting everything up." Twilight said, motioning for her to take a seat. Leach happily accepted and the princess sat down beside her. "I'm really glad you could make it." She said, levitating a cup to both herself and Leach.

Leach watched as she did this and filled their cups with the warm liquid. "Me too! Is uncle Jack going to be joining us?" As she asked this she levitated a few sugar cubes into her cup and stirred it with a small spoon. Leach had learned how to use her magic pretty quickly, her father likes to assume it was due to her conduit genes. But that was more of a joke than anything else, she was just smarter than other kids her age...but only a little.

Twilight blew into her cup and took a sip of her tea, making a small hum of delight as she did so. "I'm not sure. I asked if if he wanted to. He just said that he'd think about it."

"What's he doing right now?"

"I wish I could tell you. He's spent all day down in his man cave." She explained, "As much as I'd like to go and see what he does in there, he says that only men are allowed. So the only other ones allowed in there are his brothers and sometimes Spike."

"You could always ask Spike what they do in there."

Twilight giggled, "I already tried that, but apparently Jack set up rules for the Man Cave and it would seem that my number one assistant has taken to following a lot of these rules."

"Meaning?"

"He refuses to tell me what they do in there. Says it would break the 'Do not disrespect the man cave' rule."

"Uncle Jack is a goof."

"Yes, yes he is." Twilight confirmed." The tea party went on for a few more minutes and in that time the two talked about how things were going at school for Leach and how work was going for Twilight.

A few minutes later Jack wandered into the room covered in sweat with a towel draped across his shoulders. The two smiled up at him and offered him a chair. He took a seat beside Twilight and wiped his forehead with the towel. "So, what did I miss?"

"Not a whole lot." Twilight began, "Leach is doing well in school and isn't having too much trouble."

"Good." Jack said with a nod, "First pony that crosses you wrong, you come and get me. I'll make sure to give them a lesson that they will never fucking forget."

"Jack, language!" Twilight reprimanded. His swearing had finally toned down a bit, but never completely stopped. It didn't bother her too much anymore, but she hated when he would do it in front of the filly."

"English, bitch!" He replied, earning him a punch in the arm from the alicorn mare.

Leach just laughed at their behavior. She loved coming over here. Jack and Twilight would always end up doing stuff like this. Jack would do something she wouldn't like, she would try to stop him, he'd come back with a witty remark or insult, and it would usually escalate from there.

She was starting to wish that she had brought popcorn. However, much to his discontent, the two didn't break out into an all out verbal war and settled with dropping the subject. Jack doing so by remaining silent, but wearing a large grin on his face; Twilight, by burring her face into her hooves with an annoyed grunt.

The rest of the gathering went off without a hitch and halfway through Sebastian and Maud even showed up to spend some time with the rest of the family, minus Tumor who was doing god knows what.

After the tea party finally came to an end they separated into two groups. The mares went out to do some shopping while the two brothers and Spike retreated to the man cave.

"I see you've put a good amount of work into making this little hideout, haven't you." Sebastian commented.

"Damn right." Jack responded with pride.

The room itself was in the basement so once you got down the stairs you were met with a large open area with a fire place on one end, a pool table near that, and just a few feet from that was another table. This one was decorated with everything they needed to play a multitude of card games. Finally there was the chill zone, which consisted of a small glass table and a large couch with several bean bag chairs surrounding it.

However, this was only one half of the room. The other half was filled with workout equipment of all kinds. Each one adjusted to fit his tall humanoid form. Being hooked up with a princess kicked ass. There was an elliptical, a treadmill, several barbells, pull-up bars, and a couple of punching bags. One of which was covered in burns and had a hole punched clean through from one side to the other.

Spike dove into one of the bean bag chairs and sank into it with a satisfied sigh. "Yeah, I could get used to this."

Jack chuckled at the baby dragon and made his way over to one of the undamaged punching bags before unloading all unholy hell onto it with his fists.

The mares wandered around the market place, picking up several required items for their homes. Leach was extremely bored by this and from time to time would break away from the group to check out more interesting things, only to be called back by Twilight. "I swear, if boredom could cause cancer..."
