Author's Notes:

Now this isn't the end of Solar growing out his family. So in later seasons you will see more children join his family. Also I plan to have him adopt one more in this season. But no spoilers for those children, the season they come in or even who they are. So you will just have to wait for me to put those chapters up. Now enjoy internet because S.D. has left the building, peace.

Adaption (Un-Edited)

"You look nice today, Solar." Said Twilight

"You to Twilight, but I'm sure the doughnut crumbs are not helping." Said Solar

Solar had arrived early in the morning to Canterlot. He and Twilight were on there way to the orphanage. It had finally come time for them to choose the fillies that would fill there life with excitement as much as everyday they lived in Ponyville already did. But they would also give two lucky fillies a chance to live a new life with a loving family. They were both still nervous, but ready for anything that could be thrown at them. But before they went, they stopped at Joe's Doughnut Shop. He made the best doughnuts in all of Canterlot. Solar found the place when walking around Canterlot one day. He instantly fell in love with his shop. Then he introduced Spike and Twilight to it.

"I don't understand why you hate mornings. You seem to be able to get up and go through them." Said Twilight munching on a doughnut

"Well yes, but I do love to sleep in. I have always said that I have been a night owl more than a morning bird." Said Solar sipping his coffee.

The truth was something else. Solar had learned in time, his mother wasn't much of a morning pony till she had her coffee. He always found it strange how a cup of coffee would make his mother motivated. Well after he reached the age to drink in Equestria, which is eighteen, he learned that his mother put scotch in her coffee. Well Solar had learned and picked up many things from his mother. So again he picked up something from his mother. After the first time, he found it very enjoyable and helped him get through the day. So he continued to do it and now, he can't usually have coffee without spiking it. Though Twilight and Spike had no idea that he did it. The only pony who knew was his own mother. Though Joe also knew that Solar liked his coffee spiked. So when Solar orders a coffee from Joe, Joe always spikes it for Solar.

"I just can't get enough of Joe's doughnuts." Said Twilight stuffing her face with yet another doughnut

"I'll say, you made me buy you six." Said Solar

"Well when your pregnant and need to feed two bellies with food, then you can tell me that I have had enough." Said Twilight

"Yeah, but your eating a lot of sugar." Said Solar

"I know but I can't get enough." Said Twilight

I guess that is true. I mean, I buy sweets one day and within an hour, half are gone. I know this has to be connected to her new eating habits. I did read that pregnant mares have strange cravings. Well hopefully she finds a less expensive craving. Though I do get plenty of money from my own mother and for being a guard. But I would still like to save some money. Oh well, I guess that's what I get for getting my wife pregnant. Twilight finished her doughnuts and tossed away the trash. Solar finished his coffee and then tossed the cup away. They walked up to the front doors of the orphanage. Solar looked at the doors and knocked on them. Soon the doors opened to a mare.

She had chocolate coat and a light brown mane. Her cutie mark was of a mint on a pillow. She had no horn or wings, so it made her an earth pony. She had on a white dress with a apron tied around the bottom. Her mane was up in a bun and her eyes were a light brown color to. She reminded Solar of the maids that worked at the castle for his mother and aunt. The mare bowed to Solar and then let them in.

"Welcome prince and princess. I'm Minty Mint." She said

"Well you probably know us, but I'll still introduce us. I'm Solar and this is Twilight, my wife." Said Solar

Minty looked at Twilight and could see her expanding stomach line. "Oh, you have a bun in the oven."

"Oh yes, I'm about a month into my pregnancy." Said Twilight

"How nice for you two. But even with a foal on the way, you still wish to adopt." Said Minty

"Well it was actually Solar's idea." Said Twilight

"Well we never thought that Twilight would get pregnant, so we had decided to adopt a child. Even after we found out that Twilight was pregnant, we still wanted to adopt a filly or two." Said Solar

"Well the director of this orphanage has looked over your paper work and has allowed you two to adopt two of our children. But can I ask why you two got into adoption." Said Minty

"Well Twilight just got into it. But I started out after I began helping here with my mother. It was that point I began to want to adopt a few children of my own. It is my idea that every child should have a right to a happy family." Said Solar

"Well you are right about that. Many same sex couples do come in looking for a child or two to adopt. Were happy that the prince wants to adopt our children. You have no idea how many of the young ones are your biggest fans." Said Minty

"Well Solar is a very popular stallion." Said Twilight

"Right, now would you two follow me. I'll take you to the director's office. She has the files of all the young ones we have here at the orphanage." Said Minty

Solar and Twilight nodded and followed Minty down a few hallways. As they walked a few of the children stopped and looked at them. Solar smiled and waved at them. Twilight smiled, but felt her heart strings being pulled while looking at them. She knew that she and Solar could only adopt two, but she had no idea which two would go home with her and him. She wanted to take them all, but she couldn't.

"Solar, I feel sad for them. I mean it is going to be hard to pick two of them." Said Twilight

"I know, but they will all find loving homes. It may be tough, but we are going to give a new life to two fillies." Said Solar

"Now I might want to say this now, but are colt population isn't that large here." Said Minty

"No worries about that, I and Twilight were looking into adopting fillies." Said Solar

"Actually it's all Solar's idea. But I think it is still a lovely idea." Said Twilight

"Well no worries with that, we have plenty of fillies that are waiting for a loving home." Said Minty

"Well I'm glad." Said Solar

Solar soon stopped to look at a piece of art work on the wall. It was of his mother. He then felt something tug on his pant leg. He saw that it was a filly. She had to be about eight years old. She had a white coat on her, but her mane was a strange one. It had red, yellow and blue splotches on it ,like the primary colors. It also had orange, green and purple splotches on it, like the secondary colors. Her ears were also colored like the ones on her mane, which had a natural white base. He then saw that her cutie mark was of the color wheel. He then saw her eyes were completely milky with no color in them. She also had a horn on her head, which made her a unicorn. She was wearing a nice blue dress with flowers on it.

"Like it." Said the filly

"I do." said Solar

"I'm glad, because I painted it. I know that ponies have a hard time catching the beauty of Princess Celestia. But I think I got it perfectly. I know the son of the princess would see it." Said the filly

She painted this, but how. I look into her eyes and see white. I think she completely blind, but she can paint like she had her eyes. Solar was pulled form his thoughts when the filly spoke again.

"I know this might sound crazy, but could I have your autograph Solar. Your one of my heroes." Said the filly

"Really, how come." Said Solar getting down to her level.

"Well your different, but that doesn't stop you. No matter what anypony says or thinks, you just keep moving forward. I just love that about you. Nothing ever keeps you down or back. Its the same for me. As you've probably noticed, my eyes are white. I'm actually completely blind." Said the filly

"Blind, but you paint." Said Solar

"I can't explain it, but I feel what I need to paint. I don't need my sight to paint what I feel." Said the filly

Amazing, her sense of sight is gone, so in theory her other four senses should become stronger. But they are beyond stronger, they are actually acting like her sight. I sense a lot of magic in her, no doubt from the fact that she can't perform high level spells like most unicorns her age. It seems the magic has done exactly like it did to my senses. This is one special filly, a filly that is blind, but could fend for herself in the real world. Solar smiled as he knew the answer to her question.

"Alright, I'll give you an autograph, if you show me more of your art." Said Solar

"Ok, follow me." Said the filly

She grabbed his hand and led him down the halls. Sorry Twilight, but I really want to see what this filly can do. Solar let the filly take him to her room.

***

"These are amazing." Said Solar

He was looking over all the paintings that the filly had created. He was amazed by how well that looked. She could give any professional author a run for their money. He placed one day and picked up another one. He chuckled a little at the picture he was holding.

"What?" She asked

"You just got the best side of me." Said Solar

The picture was of Solar giving his grand speech when he was ten. This is amazing, such a talented filly.

"So what's your name by the way?" Asked Solar

"They call me Art Paint, but Art is fine." Said Art

"Well Art, I would say you have some great pieces here. I would say your could beat out any artist with these pictures. They have something different about them." Said Solar

"Like I said prince, I feel the work I do. Many artist see, but I feel. Many ponies have seen my work and see that about it. You can really feel like you are looking at that scene or even there. I want to one day present my art to ponies all across Equestria and maybe even Equis." Said Art

"Not impossible dream for a filly like you. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a family in a few days." Said Solar

"I wish." Solar looked at her. "Every time a pony family sees my work, they are impressed. But after they learn that I have no sight, they turn me away. I know that I can't see, but that doesn't mean I'm a handful. I know how to do everything like a normal pony and don't need the maids to help me anymore. I just want a family to love me." Tears ran down her face as she clenched her fists on her legs. "i just want a family, I would give every painting I have to have one."

The poor thing, rejected because of having no sight. But she is right, she has extremely adopted to no sight. I'm not sure how, but I could theorize it to be her magic ability. But she still should have family. Solar walked over and began to wipe her tears away and then hugged her. She was caught off guard but hugged him back.

"Its ok Art, everything will be ok. You are sweet and talented filly and if ponies can't get pass your eyes, then they are at a loss. You have a talent that ponies wish for. You embrace that talent with such beauty. I know that one day your art will be shown to the whole world and everypony and creature will know who you are. Now trust me when I say this, a loving family will come and adopted you. I know that to be true." Said Solar

"Thank you prince, just another reason you are my hero." She said

"Well now how about that autograph I promised." Said Solar, but Art stopped him.

"Actually you all ready gave me the best autograph in the world. When you hugged me and told me those words. I can never see your name like the others, so feeling and hearing you is a good enough one. Plus I would like to give you something to remember me by." Said Art

She went over to her book case with all her sketch books. Solar watched her closely to understand how she knew where to walk. She then took a book off a shelf and turned the pages. She then stopped and tore out a page. She went over and signed her own name. She folded it and gave it to Solar. He took it and looked at it.

"Just something to remember me by and thank you for your words, Prince Solar. I know I'll find a family one day." Said Art with a smile on her face

Solar felt his heart slowly melt for the filly. He hugged her again and spoke to her.

"Yes you will and I promise never to forget you. Also keep on working and painting." Said Solar

"Alright." Soon a bell began to ring. "Oh lunch has started and recess will be soon to. Goodbye Prince Solar." She gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran off.

Solar rubbed the spot and smiled as he got up. His heart had melted away for the filly. He exited her room and closed the door. He pulled out the paper and unfolded it. He felt a nice tear run down his face. It was him holding her hand and the word 'daddy' above them. He closed the paper and slipped it into his pants pocket. He then wiped his tear away.

I think I found my first daughter. Solar walked away with a happy heart that he found that filly. He felt sad for her because so many families had looked past her because of her eyes, but Solar saw much more than a problem. He saw a filly with a loving heart. He knew that nothing would stop him from making her part of his family.

***

Solar walked the halls of the orphanage. He still had to meet Twilight and the director. He had to tell Twilight about Art. But he heard laughter and looked to see the playground. Well I'm sure Twilight can do somethings on her own. Knowing her, she will be stuck unable to choose two fillies to adopt or she might be in the bathroom. Solar walked through the doors to see his mother's sun high in the sky. He then saw all the fillies and colts playing with each other. He couldn't see Art, but she as out there.

He walked over and leaned on a rail and watched them, then heard a familiar voice. He turned to see Twilight and she didn't look to happy.

"Where were you?" She asked coming up to him.

"Sorry, I stopped to look at a painting. Then I met the best filly ever. I have one daughter in mind for us and I think you'll love her. How about you?" Asked Solar

"No, I looked through the files, but couldn't choose. I was hoping you would be there with me." Said Twilight

"Sorry Twi." Said Solar

"No problem Solar, but can I ask about this filly." Said Twilight

"You'll see her file and her in time. But you know Twilight, I'm kind of happy I'm here." Said Solar

"How so?" Asked Twilight

"Growing up as the prince in luxury can change how you view things. But here, I get to see a different side of Equestria. Though this side also seems to bring out my anger and sadness. So many great young ones given up for no reason or just because two ponies can't use protection. Everyone of them has a chance at a life, but only so many get one. I also feel so much anger towards the families that walk through those doors. They look at all the young ones and they pick the perfect ones. But they skip over all the ones who really have loving hearts, but they don't want to care for because of some problem. It makes me think what would have happened to me if Celestia didn't take me as her son. Would I have found a family or would I have died?" Said Solar with a tear running down his cheek

Twilight hugged him and laid her head on his shoulder as Solar cried. She knew that he was a man that wanted to help all those in need. He hated when ponies turned their back to those in need. Twilight didn't say a word, but holding her husband was enough for him to get the message.

***

Solar and Twilight sat in the directors office. Twilight holding Solar's hand. They were waiting for the director to come in. Then the door opened and Solar and Twilight stood up. In came a mare with a pink coat and red mane up in a bun. She had a horn on her head, which made her a unicorn. Her cutie mark was of a stamper and a stamp. Her eyes were a lime green color. She was wearing a red dress. She sat down and then pointed to the seats. Solar and Twilight then sat down, but Solar helped Twilight down since she was carrying.

"Well I'm the director here, they call me File Stamp. I'm proud to invite you both to the orphanage. I hope you enjoyed looking around our falicilty." Said Stamp

"We did and were ready to select the ponies we wish to adopt." Said Solar

"Excellent and congrats to you Mrs. Sparkle on your child." Said Stamp

"Oh thank you and Solar has the names for us." Said Twilight

"Alright, Prince Solar, who would you like to look up first." Said Stamp

"A filly named Art Paint." Said Solar

"I see." She brought out the file and handed it over. Solar handed it to Twilight to read and look over. "You know what your getting your hands into."

"Solar, she's blind." Said Twilight

"Yeah, I met her today and she showed me her paintings and they were amazing. She is a loving filly with a large heart. You should have been there Twilight to see her. But she did give me this, and this doesn't say she should be in our family, then I'm not sure what." Said Solar handing the paper over to Twilight

She opened it and felt her heart melt. "Oh this is so nice. I think I see her in our family, but how will she get along."

"Easy Twilight, she's a unicorn. I believe that without her sight, her magic has created some kind of field around her. It seems that this field acts like her sight. I'm not to sure how, but it is enough for her to act freely. She is a cute and kind filly, but all the families that come in her, pass her up because of her eyes, well no more. I and Twilight will be adopting her as our child." Said Solar

"Well I'm glad she finally will be going to a loving home. We have seen her pass so many times and wish we could see her go with them. You are right that they pass her up. I'm happy somepony sees past her eyes. Her art will be missed, but she deserves to have a family like you and Twilight as her parents. Now you still can adopt one more, who will it be." Said Stamp

"This might be a stretch but do you have any bats. Solar wants to show Equestria that they can be loved like any normal filly." Said Twilight

Solar smiled at Twilight as she returned it. Stamp sat back in her chair and thought it over. She then pulled a file from her cabinet. She then handed it to Solar and Twilight.

"She came in when she was five unlike Art who came in when she was born. No pony has ever wished to adopt her. She has a loving heart and just wants to be loved. She gets bullied a lot for being a bat, we try our best to deal with it. She doesn't have many friends, but Art is actually one of her friends." Said Stamp

Solar and Twilight looked at the file. In it was a bat filly named Night Glow. She had a black coat and a white mane that was the color of the moon light. She had green colored eyes. She had two bat wings instead of feathered wings like pegasus and her wings were leather. They looked to see she had a kind heart and wanted to be loved. Her cutie mark was of a music note.

"Look Solar, she sings. You could play guitar and she could sing." Said Twilight

"Actually Night can play and sing. She loves piano the best and her music usually fills the air of the orphanage. How about I take you two to see her." Said Stamp

"That would be nice." Said Solar

"Then follow me." Said Stamp

Solar helped Twilight up and they followed Stamp to the music room where Night Glow was.

***

As they entered they heard the beautiful sound of music filling the air. Stamp let them both in.

"She and Art should be in there. I'll leave you two with them, come by when you ready to sign for them both and thank you Prince Solar." Said Stamp

"For what?" Asked Solar

"For finally giving these two a loving home." Said Stamp as she left

"Well you want to go meet our daughters and give them the good news." Said Solar

"I would love that." Said Twilight

They walked through the music hall as the piano filled the air. Solar and Twilight stopped to hear the music play through the hall. They looked to see Night Glow on the piano slowly playing the music. Art next to her listening and Solar pointed out Art to Twilight. Twilight couldn't believe her eyes of how cute she looked. But they stood and listened to the music Night Glow was producing.

Solar could feel the story that the music was telling. It was emotional music and Solar felt his heart go out to the bat filly. Twilight held tight to Solar and laid her head on his shoulder. Solar stroked her mane as she closed her eyes to listen to the music. That is such beautiful playing. Again another amazing filly over looked just because she is a bat. But no longer over looked. Now they both can have the loving and supporting family they need. Solar looked over to Twilight and her expanding stomach. I still can't believe this is all happening. I'm going to have a foal, I'm about to adopt two lovely fillies. My life sure has been a great one and I know that it will get even better as it goes on. Soon the music stopped and Solar began to clap.

"That was beautiful." Said Solar

"Prince Solar your back." Said Art

"Yes and I brought my wife." Said Solar

"Hi I'm Twilight and Solar told me a lot about you Art and that playing was beautiful Night." Said Twilight

"Hi." Said Art with her smile started to melt Twilight's heart

"Hi and thank you, but aren't you scared of me or going to shun me away." Said Night

"Now why would either of us do that?" Asked Solar walking up to them with Twilight.

"Because I'm a bat and ponies don't like bats." Said Night

"Please Night, I like you." Said Art

"Art's right, it doesn't matter what's on the outside, its what's on the inside that counts." Said Solar

"Very true." Said Twilight

"What are you doing here anyway Prince Solar? I thought you would have adopted somepony already." Said Art

"Yeah usually ponies don't come to us." Said Night

"Well were not like other ponies. So we like to give you both an offer. You see I want to adopt two daughters to join my family. But I have no idea who to adopt, so I asked my wife, but she has no idea. But then again her brain doesn't work much with a baby inside her." Said Solar

"You have a baby inside you." Said Art

"Yes I do." Said Twilight

"Can I feel your stomach please." Said Art

"Your more than welcome." Said Twilight

Art got up and placed her hands on Twilight's expanding stomach.

"Oh wow, I think I can feel something in there." Said Art

"You don't mind if I." Said Night

"No not all." Said Twilight

Night went up and did the same thing. Art placed her ear to Twilight's stomach and tried to listen for the foal. But nothing happened. Solar just watched with a smile on his face. There perfect for us. Ponies might not see there true beauty, but I do. Solar then decided to speak again.

"Now would your girls like me to continue." Said Solar

"Oh yes, but I don't see how will be much help to you. We really don't have many other friends than each other." Said Art

"Well that's to bad because I don't see any other kids around. Well Twilight what you think, should we keep them." Said Solar

They both looked at Twilight as she smiled at them. "Solar I think they would make a great pair of daughters to have in our family."

"Wait, you want to adopt us." Said Night

"That's right Night. I and Twilight want to adopt you both. So what do you say, want to be apart of our family." Said Solar with his smile

Art and Night couldn't believe there ears. Twilight went around and stood next to Solar as he stayed bent to their level. It didn't take long for Art to burst into tears and run into Solar's arms. She hide her face in his chest as she just cried. Night slowly walked up and Solar pulled her in as tears came down her face. They couldn't believe their ears that they now had a family. All the times that had been pushed away because they were different, but this time they had a family to love them.

Solar hugged them tight as tears ran down his cheeks. Twilight also bent down and hugged them tight in her arms. She also had tears running down her face. She knew these two just wanted a loving family and now they had one. Solar felt his heart melt away with them in his arms. This is exactly how it should be.

"Thank you." Said Art

"No Art, we should be thanking you. You two are so great and perfect. Anypony that can't see that is blind to you. You two are loving and caring. So I welcome you both to the our lives." Said Solar

"Yes and let no pony tell you different. We will love you no matter who you are or what makes your different. Your differences are what make you special." Said Twilight

"I love you mommy and daddy." Said Art

"Me to." Said Night

Solar and Twilight couldn't believe their ears at was just said. It brought more tears to their eyes. They brought them even closer together.

"We love you to our daughters, Art and Night." Said Solar and Twilight together.

They all stayed together just letting tears of happiness fall from their eyes. No pony made a noise, they just wanted to get it all out of them. Solar and Twilight knew that they just needed to get all the sadness out of them and embrace the new love they were going to feel.

"Twilight, I think it is time we make this official." Said Solar

"I couldn't agree more." Said Twilight

Solar picked them both up and carried them out of the studio as they snuggled into Solar's neck. Solar then felt something different. In all his life as a prince and husband, he never felt such a feeling. He felt at peace with himself. Even the mental damage of Nightmare seemed to disappear from him. He was at peace with everything around him and nothing could stop this feeling he was feeling, nothing at all.

***

While Twilight and Solar were signing the paper work, the girls were packing up their rooms. A lot of the other stuff would be shipped to the house in Ponyville. After signing for everything, Solar and Twilight gather Art and Night. They then walked towards the castle, once inside they were met with the whole family. Of course Art was easy coming to enjoy her new family. Night Glow had to have a push from her new father, but she did it. Solar knew she was worried that she might rejected, but no pony did. She was happily accepted into the family with open arms.

Everypony was shocked that Art was blind, but they could all tell she was a strong pony. Celestia could also feel the magic that helped her do daily things. Night being the only bat felt strange, but realizing that one of her grandparents was Princess Luna. Both Art and Night didn't mind they were royalty now, they kind of loved it. Spike took to be an uncle ok, but he said that he didn't feel old enough for the idea. Shining also couldn't believe he was an uncle, so once again, he began to shed liquid pride. Everypony laughed at him.

Soon enough Night Light and Twilight Velvet said goodbye to their grandchildren and left. Solar made sure a guard escorted them safely home. Light and Velvet thanked Solar and wished him and Twilight luck. Then Shining and Cadance said goodnight as they left. Luna then gave her goodbyes as she had to begin the night courts. She was happy to have ponies accepting her again. Though some couldn't get past the idea of her being Nightmare Moon, there was enough who wanted to know the real Luna, that kept her moving forward. Soon enough Solar watched as the Lunar Guard took up spots. Solar could see they had now a combo of ponies and bats. Solar smiled that change was happening to the castle and Canterlot.

Twilight yawned before saying she was going to bed. Soon Solar saw the girls nodding off, with Spike's help, they picked them up. Solar took them both as Spike went to his bedroom for the night. Solar with is mother, went to put his girls to bed. Celestia had a nice room prepared that wasn't to far from his childhood room. Plus it wasn't to far from her own room. Solar thanked his mother as she opened the door for him.

He set them both down and covered them up. Gave them a kiss on the head and smiled as they smiled at him in his sleep. He then quietly exited the room and closed the door.

"I think you picked two incredible fillies to join our family." Said Celestia

"No mom, we didn't pick them, they picked us." Said Solar

He looked at his mother and surprised her by laying his head on her shoulder. Tears began to stream down his face. Celestia comforted her son like a mother would. No matter how old Solar got, he could always go to his mother for support. She never cared how old he was, he was still her little boy.

"Thank you mom, for everything. I don't know what my life would have been like without you. So just thank you for being my mother." Said Solar

Celestia held her son tight like he was going to disappear and she was going to wake up from this dream. But she knew it was very real. "Oh Solar I should be thanking you. You have changed my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. I never thought I would have the chance to raise a child like you. Sure we had our ups and downs, but we still stuck together. So I think we both deserve a thank you, for being mother and son. Let no pony tell you different Solar, you are my son."

"Thanks mom." Said Solar holding her tight.

Celestia kissed her son on the forehead and walked with him tight in her embrace. She loved Solar with her heart and would gladly die to protect him just like he would die to protect her. The two were a perfect match for each other and Celestia and Solar wouldn't have it any other way. They were mother and son and that was how they liked it.
