Sometimes I question why I was brought to this world thinking that it was a mistake or all of this is just a dream or I'm just really dead and this is my personal heaven. But whatever it is I couldn't be happier I have sixteen beautiful women that want to spend their entire lives with me and five loving children and four more on the way. Yep turns out Reva did get pregnant with Quadruplets, oh, don't worry she was automatically excepted into the herd.

But speaking of Automatics after we got home I spent some time with Twilight as we talked to Celestia and Discord about starting up an Automotive company using the designs from the end of the chapter Cloudsdale is fun but family is better. it didn't take long for them to approve the idea well Discord loved it right away but Celestia took a little more persuading we showed her the idea for the magic powered engines and all the safety features. She finally gave us a thumbs, hoof, smile, whatever she said yes but we needed to pick where we wanted the factory to be. We had a few choices Baltimare, Manehatten, Trottingham but I saw one name at the bottom of the list and knew that it was the right place. So the new factor of The Mac Cumhaill Automotive and Transportation Company INC. would be located in the city of Deitrot. Twilight even showed them the concept of Fords assembly line where the workers could build standard models for the public at a fair price and if they wanted something a little different they could always order a customized one for a higher price or have someponies trained for it to do custom jobs that way there would be more ponies with jobs lowering the unemployment.

Hearing all this all I could think about was how my loveable bookworm had become the engineer of the Equestrian Industrial Revolution because cars weren't the only thing she wanted to do there was, the home phone and tv and many more ideas. To be honest I was getting a little scared about how she was acting and it took Celestia to reel her in saying that they should start off small and see what the ponies thought of it seeing as it would affect their lives the most.

Sorry I keep doing that when you come here to read a story I go off on a tangent. So where was I um let's see got home Reva part of the herd, pregnant, oh, yeah now I remember we were heading back from Canterlot after talking with Celestia and Discord about the car thing. But instead of just me and Twilight, Luna and Sassy were coming with us we could have taken the door thing but I thought it would be fun to take the train after all like Rarity said before two hours alone with my mares can be fun.

And we did have fun but not in the sexual way you pervs we played a card game and if you guess it, you win a cookie. So after two hours of playing Card Against Humanity, we finally made it to Ponyville and I learned that my mares have some of the dirtiest minds ever. But that's beside the point what is important is when you walking down the street always keep one eye open for trouble or pain cause usually, one follows the other I should know. If you're wondering what I mean let's just say I have come to know the Mailmare Mrs. Hooves on a deeper level not sexually but we have become very close friends, in fact, we run into each other every day I'm in town and today was no different.

"Hello, how you been, hows Dinky?" I asked with my face in the dirt.

"I sorry Brian I wasn't looking where I was going," The Mailmare who like I said will not call Derpy said to me in a sad tone.

"Now Mrs. Hooves you know I enjoy our little meetings so do not get upset I would never get mad at my favorite Mailmare and very good friend," I said as I was getting myself up after she jumped off my back.

She just smiled her happy smile at me, to be honest, if she wasn't already married I would have asked if she could join the herd. I know what you're thinking why would I do that well two reasons first, she is a great mother and hard worker and second, her daughters Amythis Star and Dinky both consider me their unofficial uncle/second dad but mostly Dinky does. In fact, I should find out if Spike would think about having Dinky, join his herd, maybe even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Getting off track again now as I was saying I met my favorite Mailmare and we spent some time talking about this and that I did find out that she and the doctor were thinking about having another foal this Estrus and she wanted to know if it's a colt could they name it Finn and if it was a filly they wanted to name it Erie Fay after my grandmother. To answer her a gave her a big hug and thank her, saying that it would be an honor if they did. After that, we said our goodbyes and we watched as she took off to go back and deliver the mail. Deciding to put that news to the side we continued our trek to the house.

"So, girls, I was wondering if we don't have any emergencies tomorrow how about we all go to the lake for a picnic seeing as it will be the last day of summer?" I asked looking at the three of them.

"That sounds wonderful and it will be the weekend so I am sure the others will love it as well," Twilight said as Luna and Sassy both nodded.

"Good that means we can have a bar-b-que," I said clapping my hands together.

"Darling will you be cooking meat as well?" Sassy asked a little unsure.

"Yes, why do you want to know that?" I asked her.

"Well there's just something about the smell of meat being cooked that interests me and I have tried fish and found the taste to be delightful," She said smiling at me.

"Ok, then I make sure we have some fish anything you two want or can think about?" I asked looking at Twilight and Luna.

"I would love some of that grilled Eggplant you made for us remember?" Twilight said as she thought about it.

"I would also like that Okonomiyaki again," Luna almost shouted.

"Alright if that's how it's going to be we might as well make a list of what everyone wants," I said looking over to Twilight and seeing she already had a quill and paper writing down everything.

Shaking it off I continued walking only to stop when I heard a voice yelling for someone to move. Unfortunately, it was me the voice was yelling at because right then I felt myself being knocked to the ground very hard. Coming to a few seconds later I find my vision is blocked by what I can only describe as a blue scaley butt.

As we were walking down the road to Brian's, no our home we ran into Derpy or I should say she ran into Brian. I still don't understand why he calls her Mrs. Hooves instead of her name but I see that every time he does she smiles and is happier. We waited for them to have their daily conversation when I was surprised to hear that she wanted to have another foal with her husband. But what made me smile is when she said she wanted to name it after either him or his grandmother. So when Brian hugged her I had to hold back tears knowing that it would mean a lot to him. Saying our goodbyes we watched as she took off to return to her work as she was leaving I thought back to what Brian had said before that if she wasn't married he would have loved to have her join the herd. When I asked him why he told me because she was a good and loving mother and a hard worker.

Ater that we continued our walk when he mentioned tomorrow being the last day of summer and having a picnic with all of us at the lake. I told him that it would be wonderful and seeing as it was the weekend everypony could be there. We continued talking as it turned to what we should have when the four of us wanted something different so I brought out a quill and paper to make a list. As I was writing I heard a voice yell for us to get out of the way only to see a blue form hit Brian nocking him down. Thinking it was Rainbow at first I was going to scold her for her carelessness but to my surprise, it wasn't her but Dragon Lord Ember.

I'm still lying there with scaly butt sitting on my face when I hear Twilight call out to whoever this is.

"Dragon Lord Ember what are you doing here are you alright?" Twilight asked scaly butt now called Ember.

"I'm fine Princess thank you for asking but why is the ground so lumpy and why is there warm air near my nethers?" She asked shaking her butt a little.

All I could do was grumble to myself thinking that three of my beloved mates were just standing there talking to this Ember person while I was being smothered. "Holy shit I'm being smothered I can't breathe I going to die under an ass I don't know," I thought to myself as I flared my arms.

"I believe it would be best if you remove your posterior from our beloveds face before he is asphyxiated," Luna said using her magic to lift the Dragon Lord off me.

After the blue scales were replaced by the blue sky I took a deep breath have Sassy helping me to sit up I looked at who tried to kill me. She was a dragon standing a foot shorter than me with light blue scales covering her body with horns and wings her belly scales were a lighter blue and her eyes were a red color but what caught my attention the most was she was carrying a stick with a big ruby on the tip.

"Look Princess I sorry about hitting your pet but I'm in a hurry I need to find Spike so he can fight me so I don't lose, to some other dragon," She said in a rude tone.

I just looked at the girls with a WTF look at being called a pet before I spoke up.

"Look here Scaly-butt I ain't nobodies pet," I said making her turn to look at me shocked but an angry look. "And if you want something to do with my son you come talk to me first," I said making Twilight and Sassy looked shocked at how I just spoke to her.

"Brian, you don't talk to her like that she's the Dragon Lord," Twilight nearly screamed.

"I don't give a flying fuck who she is first off she crashes into me nearly suffocating me with her ass then she calls me a pet and doesn't really apologizes for it then she says she wants to fight our son for no reason, Hell no, this Bitch be Trippin' ," I said making Twilight and Sassy both look like their brains had shut down while Luna had to hold herself from laughing her ass off.

Ember, on the other hand, was looking even angrier if that was possible but what she did surprised everyone.She started to laugh more and more until she was rolling on the ground.

"You must be the bravest or the stupidest whatever you are to talk to me like that," She said as she sat up to look at me.

"I'm a human and I think it was due to the lack of oxygen," I said reaching down to help her up.

"Wait did you say human?" Ember asked as she jerked her hand back in fear.

"Yes, I did why?" I asked confused as I watched this once fearsome looking dragon start to shake.

" Humans are the only thing dragons fear because they're the only thing that can kill us," She said stepping back.

"I stood there looking at her when I realized that the stories of knights slaying dragons must have been true seeing as Zecora's people remember seeing humans long ago. " I swear by my family name of Mac Cumhaill that I will not harm you or any other dragon unless the lives of my family friends or any innocent lives are threatened, Ember Lord of Dragons," I say dropping to one knee.

"I know for a fact that Brians word can be trusted for he has never broken it," Luna said stepping up next to me.

"Lord Ember please I know you're scared but Brian would never harm you, in fact, I think he might be the one who can help you," Twilight said stepping closer to her.

"What do you mean how ?" Ember asked still keeping a watchful eye on me.

"Well, you said that you needed Spike to Fight you so why not have Brian do it instead?" Twilight said smiling.

"I sorry Princess but are you out of your mind he's a human he'll kill me without a second thought!" Ember practically roared.

I was about to say something when a loud thud was heard behind us turning around we came face to face with three more dragons one red one white and the last one was gray.

"Dragon Lord Ember we finally found you I challenge you to claim you as my mate," The red one said looking down at her and yes the guy is a foot taller than me.

I turned to look at Ember and saw fear and sadness in her eyes. "So that's what she wanted to fight Spike for?" I thought to myself before standing up and turning back to face big red.

"Did you hear me or the puny ponies making you go deaf?" He said making it really easy to hate the guy.

He reached out to grab Ember but, me, be the idiot that I am I stepped in between them blocking his hand claw whatever it's called, stopping him from grabbing her.

"Hold it bub, but Scaly tush and I were just discussing the arrangements for our little fling," I said making the three dragons look so confused.

"I already challenged to claim her so your SOL," I said turning to look at Ember winking.

"Getting what I said Ember stepped up next to me. " That is right and I excepted his challenge so you can just leave Garble," She said reaching out and taking hold of my arm.

Garble stood there for a second before he began to growl. "Look I don't know what you are, freak, but I'm not going to let you get in my way," He yelled raising his fist up to hit me only to be shot back by a beam of blue magic.

"Now see here dragon our Brian told you that he has already claimed the Dragon Lord so if you wish to challenge him then do it in far combat," Luna said making me turn to look at her like she was fucking crazy.

"Why should we listen to you ponies?" The Gray one said showing his teeth.

"Well, for one thing, this is Princess Luna and Princess Twilight, and furthermore if you win I will accept you as my mate without combat," Ember said stepping in front of all of us.

"Fine then let's do this," Gable said get up ready for a fight.

"Sorry, Garbage but that ain't going to happen today so...," I said before he yelled at me.

"Gable not Garbage," he said looking at me.

"Potato," Is all I said looking back at him.

"Fine then tomorrow," He said.

"Nope, tomorrow I spending the day with my family," I said looking back at him.

"Then the next day," He growled.

"Sorry but that's not going to happen," I said making him look at me with pure hatred.

Why not you don't have anything planned right?" He said looking even angrier.

"That day is my day off I don't do a damn thing, hell the world could come to an end and I still wouldn't move from my bed," I said as if it was common knowledge. " But Monday I should be free, so how about that let's say high noon in the field outside of town?" I said trying not to smile.

"Fine, be there are I'll come looking for you freak," He said before taking off into the sky.

I stood there looking as he took off before saluting him only to get hit in the back of the head by Luna and Twilights wings.

"Hey what was that for?" I asked turning to look at them.

"Do you have any idea what you just did?" Twilight asked me a little hysterically only making me look at her with a black face. " You just challenged a dragon to combat, a dragon,"

"How hard could it be I fought a Hydra once no wait twice," I said looking at her.

"Hydra's don't breath fire and they can't swim in lava pools either," Twilight said standing up on her hind legs to look at me in th eyes.

"Well, I knew about the fire part but the lava swimming that's new," I said turning to look at Ember. "How do you guys do that?"

"Tuff scale I guess?" Ember said shrugging her shoulders.

"How can you be so calm with all this," Twilight said as she sat on her haunches looking at the ground. "You could die," She said as tears began to fill her eyes.

I dropped down and pulled her close to me holding her so tight I felt like I could squeeze the life out of her. "I'm so sorry Twili I know and to tell you the truth I am scared but I can't back down not now not after we found the last member of our family," I said pulling away from her whipping her eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asked looking at me still with teary eyes.

"I mean this," I said pulling out a piece of paper from my pocket that I've been carrying around for some time and began unfolding it to show not just her but the others the list of names I had written back when I had met Selina in my dreams.

Showing the four of them the list each of them had their own response to it Luna was happiness that not only would we have our little Selina but a son named for the warrior of the moon. Sassy could only imitate a fish after reading the names of our sons and Twilight had the expression of someone who just learned they won the lottery at seeing the names of our son and daughter. The only one who was not happy or shocked was Ember she just looked pissed.

"How dare you, you think I would ever allow a human, too, and you even insult me more by placing the names of the four greatest Dragon Lords as our, ugh, I can't even say it!" Ember yelled as she threw her arms around after reading the list.

"Hey, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself," I said looking at her a little pissed myself. "I don't know what your problem is but I wrote this list about three weeks ago and I didn't even know who the hell you were until today," I said standing up.

"Oh yeah, tell me human what were the colors of the hatchlings then?" Ember said crossing her arms.

I stood there looking at her for a few seconds before I closed my eyes.
"Ok, um, well, Bahamut is light brown with dark brown spines and belly,"

"And Char is red with a yellow belly and orange fins oh, and he's the only one born with wings,"
https://derpicdn.net/img/2014/1/30/538517/thumb.png
I said as I opened my eyes only to have my mares stare at me with shock.

"What, why are you looking at me like that?" I asked them for none of them to answer but to point at the ground where in front of Ember was written exactly what I said. "So she just wrote down what I said what's the big deal?"

"Brian, my dear she wrote all that down right after you closed your eyes," Luna said looking at me to Ember.

I just stood there not saying a word before I turned and started heading towards the house again. I just kept walking not listening even when the girls were calling my name. I would have made it inside the house if not for the four of them teleporting in front of me.

"Brian, you can't just ignore this, we need to talk about it and find out why it happened," Twilight said standing in front of me.

"Oh, I can ignore it, because I already know how it happened," I said to her.

"Oh, really mister smart guy then tell us," She said looking a little smug.

"That's simple it's because it's the same answer for everything else that happens here...., MAGIC DUH," I said as I stepped past her opened the door and heading inside.

Luna and Sassy both looked at Twilight then to each other. "You know, he is kind of right magic does explain most of the stuff that happens around here," Luna and Sassy both say to Twilight.

Twilight stands there before shaking her head. "Fine, I give him that, but I'm not going to let this go just yet I want to know how you knew what you hatchlings were going to look like before he said it," She said pointing a hoof and the now board looking Ember.

"Fine if you must know before I crash into him I was sleep flying and before you say anything I know it's not safe to do it but I was flying none stop from the Dragonlands to get here," Ember said as she crossed her arms. "Well like I said I was sleep flying and when that was happening I had a dream. I was standing in a grassy field the wind was blowing it was downright peaceful. But that changed when I heard voices and that's when they came, four of them each the colors he described. All of them calling me mom. to be honest, I was about to bolt out of there when I felt strong arms wrap around me and for some reason, I felt safe and happy. Everything was as it should be me this male the hatchlings this is what I was meant to have I turned to look at him and saw that face then I woke up crashing into THAT FACE," Ember told them emphasizing the last two words.

"That was very informative," Luna said looking at Ember. " But let us continue this discussion inside," She said gesturing to the door.

As the four of them entered the house they failed to see three familiar dragon forms hiding in the shadows of a nearby alley.

"So the freak has hatchlings, this is perfect," The shadow form of Garble said.

"Yeah, so it has hatchlings so what," The gray dragon said.

"You idiot we use them as leverage," Gable said looking back at the two who looked confused. " You two are going to snatch the hatchlings and hold them and I'll tell the freak if he wants to see them again he'll throw the fight," Gable said growling at them.

"Are you sure he'll do it I mean he doesn't look like one of them, ponies but like one of those monsters," The white dragon said shaking a little.

"Grow some balls, those things ain't around no more and besides I could take one down easy," Garble said acting cocky.

"Ok, so when do we snatch them?" Gray dragon asked.

"Sunday he even said he won't lift a finger if the world was ending that day," Garble said. "And when I win and Ember is mine I might even let you guys have some fun with her," He said looking back at the house with an evil grin.

Unknown to the three dragons there was another listening in on their evil conversation so with the speed of an eagle this lone figure raced to inform those whose lives were in danger.

Now I know all of you really want to know what happened over the weekend so I'll just summarize it or maybe not.

After everyone entered the house Ember got to see some of the marvels of the human world she acted as if she didn't care a blind man could tell she has like a kid in a candy store. But the discussion of the picnic for tomorrow picked up as the others came to the house. Seems Discords door thing worked as all of the girls started to show up. Oh, I forgot to mention something see having so many mates and limited space, Twilight used a spell to make the inside of the house larger kind of like her castle or the Library she lived in before. I even had more rooms upstairs I was told it was for them and the children. But like I said we started talking about the picnic as everyone put their ideas into the proverbial pot on what food to have.

As time passed I got boarded so I went to play with the foals only to have Ember following me.

"So this is what the big scary human does when no one's looking?" She said as she watched me play on the floor with the babies.

"Yes, I find it relaxing beside's a parent should always spend time with their kids," I said as I had Pound fly up and land on my head. Come on over I promise they won't bite or is the Great Dragon Lord afraid of a bunch of babies?"

Ember huffed before she leaned her scepter against the wall and made her way over to us and sat down. Only to have Rhythm and Pumpkin move closer to her stopping at first then giggling before they jumped onto her knocking her on her back. I really thought she'd be pissed but then I heard her laughing as she picked up Pumpkin in her arms and Rythmwith her tail.

"Hey, that's no way to treat the Dragon Lord you little ponies, you're supposed to fear me," She said giving them a playful growl.

This made the girls just giggle more and seeing their sisters were having fun Blues and Pound decided to join in making Ember laugh even harder.

Sitting back up but this time with all four Foals in her lap Ember turned to look at me. " Is this what it's like to have, you know?" She said unable to finish what she was saying due to her blushing.

"To have kids that love you unconditionally,' I said making her nod." Yeah, it's the best feeling in the world," I said as I watched her as she looked down at all four of them as the each yawned and started to fall asleep in her embrace.

"I never knew it could be like this, growing up my dad wasn't the best at showing he cared," Ember said as she looked from the foals to me. "In fact, the only times he showed any sign caring to me was when I learned how to fly, breath fire he didn't even like it when I won The Gauntlet of Fire," She said looking a little sad.

"Some parents are like that they only show pride in their kids when they accomplish something but maybe the reason he didn't want you to do the gauntlet or that you won was because of what you told us?" I said standing up and taking the foals from her laying them in the cribs. " Maybe he wanted you to live a normal life and not be pressured by all of this?" I said turning after covering the babies up and kissing each of them.

Ember didn't say anything she just stood there for a moment before walking up to me taking hold of my hand and began to pull me out of the room.

"Um, what's the matter are you ok?' I asked as she pulled me into the hall before stopping and looking around.

"Where is it?' She said growling as she continued to look around.

"Where is what?" I asked getting a little worried.

"You bedchamber where is it?" She said turning to look at me. "I not going to wait for you to fight Garble so you're claiming me as your mate right now," She said turning away from me blushing.

I smiled at this and leaned down picking her up bridal style making her eep as I carried her to the master bedchamber. Closing the door behind us after I set her down I watched as she stood there and looked at the room fidgeting. Walking up behind her I placed y hands on her shoulders.

"Ember you don't have to do this you know we can just go downstairs," I said as I felt her shaking.

"No, I want to do this, it's just I um," Ember said as she began to fidget again.

Knowing what she meant I decided to take control turning her around to look at me I raised my hand up to he face and began to rub her cheek feeling how soft her scales actually were. This had the desired effect as she began to calm down. I then began to rub her shoulder with my other hand relaxing her even more before I leaned down and started to kiss her neck making her purr. This went on for some time as we slowly moved closer to the bed the whole time I was showing her pleasure by touching and kissing her she began to remove my clothes. We finally made it to the bed were all I had on was my boxers and Ember was breathing heavy and giving off a very pleasant smell.

"I want to do something for you before we start," She said as she had me sit on the edge of the bed.

I watched as she dropped to her knees in front of me and proceeded to pull my already hard second brain out of its confinement.

"Is this for me, You shouldn't have," She said as she had her tongue slither out and wrap around the full length.
Just to let you know dragons have a two to three-foot-long, prehensile tongue.

I moaned at how good it felt but it was getting better as she took me in her mouth and began to bob her head. To my surprise even with a mouth full of sharp fangs I didn't feel a thing only one of the best BJ I ever had. Hell it was so good I wasn't going to last very long, in fact, I didn't. Feeling my peak coming I grabbed hole of Embers horns and held her in place as I shot my load down her throat forcing her to swallow every drop but before that could happen she pulled back allowing a few spirts to land on her face and flat chest. I sat there relaxing as I watched as Ember scooted back and began to scoop up and rub the jizz she didn't swallow all over her body.

She just went about her business as if I wasn't even there smearing the sticky white goo from the top of her spikes on her head to the tip of her tail the whole time humming before she stopped and looked at me.

"There that should do it, no Drake in their right mind will try and claim me now that you have marked me as yours," She said as she stood up only to start to lose her balance.

I got up and held her making sure she was alright only to step back as her body began to glow.

"What, what's happening to me I feel strange," Ember said as I watched as her body, not only continued to glowed but began to change.

Her height was the first thing as she grew to stand as tall as me, the second thing was her muzzle it shortened a little and became rounder. But the most noticeable things were her hips she had some and um well I'm just going to say it her breast yeah she went from flat as a board to really nice C-cups maybe even small D's.

After the glowing and pretty much everything else stopped I moved us back to the bed and sat down holding her as she kept looking at herself and asking the same thing over and over. I was about to say something when the door opened to show Zecora and the others standing there.

"Now, girls, this is not what it looks," I started to say before changing my mind. "This is exactly what it looks like but I can explain, I think, well not about this," I said point out Ember's new look. "But everything else probably, maybe, you know what I give up?" I said throwing my arms in the air as I fell on my back on the bed.

Ember looked at me, then the others blushing as she covered her now, sizeable chest with one arm. Zecora only laughed at this as she stepped forward.

"There is no need to fear dear sister for you are now home, and it would appear that you have the attributes that are easily shown," Zecora said as she stopped in front of the confused looking Ember.

"What do you mean sister and what the buck are these attributes you're talking about?" Ember said as she tried to stand up but lost her balance due to the added height and top weight.

Catching her with her magic Twilight walked up next to Zecora smiling as she helped Ember to stand up. "What she means is that we have accepted you into the herd as our sister and as one of Brians mates and as for the other part I think it's apparent you have taken on more of a more human form. I think so you'll be able to bear your children safer and to show other dragons that you're already taken," Twilight said as Zecora nodded in agreement.

Sitting up quickly startling all of them I looked around the room. "Oh, shit I just remember Monday I have to fight Garbage at noon,"

"Garble," I heard a voice say.

What?" I asked only for Twilight to look at me.

"His name is Garble," She said shaking her head "Why is it, you have to call him that when you know what his name is?" She asked looking at me.

I shrugged my shoulders as I got some clothes on. "I don't know maybe the same reason I call your brother Shining Armpit sometimes," I said laughing to myself.

"And I have no idea why he still doesn't like you?' Luna said stepping over to me.

"Like I care about that, hell Twili's parents, Cadance, and Flurry Heart all adore me so there," I said giving her a raspberry.

"That's all well and good Y'all but some of us are gettin' mighty hungry so hows about we mosey on downstairs and start dinner," Applejack said as she turned to head downstairs followed by the others leaving Ember, Twilight, Luna, and Zecora alone with me.

Before Ember could move Zecora spoke up. "Before we go and commence to feed, Tell us what did you think of our loves seed?"

I just stood there in shock at what she just asked only to get even more shocked at what Ember said.

"Not bad a little salty but it was thick and creamy, to be honest, I wouldn't mind having more of it latter if that's alright with you?"

I didn't stick around for the answer as I just walked out of the room muttering to myself about marrying a bunch of pervert women.

Time Skip.
After dinner, we spent some time watching a movie together I picked one that I was sure at least 80% of the girls would like Steel Magnolias but to my surprise, all of them loved it, even Dash wasn't afraid to cry. I found out later when she told me that the movie reminded her of the first time Tank had to hibernate and how hard it was for her.

Ember was even whipping her eyes at the Cemetary scene but no one called her out on it. Spike did have to ask me why I had to choose a chick flick until the answer came to him by way of Twilight and the others letting his girls stay with him tonight. I had to laugh about that and I had to explain to Ember what was going on with that. Though I was glad about one thing Spike wasn't mad that Ember chose to be with me instead of him. He pulled me to the side and told me that he liked Ember but she was almost ten years older than him and it would have felt weird. As we were talking about that I stirred the subject over to his herd just some small things like which one of the girls was lead mare(Sweetie Belle) to, seeing if he'd like to expand it with adding Dinky Hooves, Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara.

"That's a wonderful idea Spike," We heard the squeaky voice of Sweetie Belle as she walked around the corner. "And maybe we can find out if Zipporwhill and Twist might like to as well?" Sweetie said as she kissed Spikes cheek.

As this was happening the other Crusaders came over and started to put their two cents into the conversation about who else should join only for Spike to look at me with the eyes of someone who was not happy.

I just shrugged it off. "If I can handle Seventeen of them then he can handle eight to ten hell I should tell Sweetie about that cute Hippogriff girl we saw in Griffonstone I think I got a picture of her on my phone after all she was asking a lot of questions about Spike," I thought to myself only to have another voice speak in my head and it sounded a lot like Spikes. "If you even think about showing her that picture I will burn your bed with you in it,"

Deciding to leave that conversation and the younger demographic for now but I will see what a part griffon, part pony, part dragon looks like even if it kills Spike, hell I not going to let it kill me I'm the MC.
Enough of that let's get back to the story so after the movie, we all decided to go to bed now seeing as Zecora and Twilight were lead and second mare they, automatically got to sleep with me at night and I always had room for two more so the others had to decide who it was going to be. Luna declined to join the game of Rock Paper Scissors for tonight as she would be sleeping with Reva and not in that way.
See, Reva was having nightmares again of her late husband having his throat slit and her baby son getting his skull smashed in by the slavers when they raided her colony. The way Luna did this was to reassure Reva that they are in a better place where there is no pain or sadness only joy and peace and that inside her now are four souls that can't wait to come into this world so their mothers and father can love them with all their hearts.

So it was up to the rest of the girls and tonight's winners were the foals, in fact, Zecora and Twilight both let Ember join me in bed with the foals as they took another room. As we climbed into bed I had placed the foals between us and as we drifted off to sleep I saw as Ember place her wing over the foals in a protective way only to look at me with a smug grin.

"Hey, if I'm part of this family and these little guys are mine too then I'm going to love and protect them just like a mother would, " Ember said whispering so to not wake up the foals. " Do you think I'll make a good mom I mean dragons aren't known for being very caring even to their own hatchlings but do you think I could be?" She asked still whispering as she looked at me.

"I think, No I know you're going to be a wonderful mother," I said as I leaned over and kissed her before turning off the lights so we could go to sleep.

As everyone else slept soundly I, on the other hand, was wide awake for two reasons first I couldn't stop thinking about the fight I was going to have with Garble and yes in my mind I did say his name right. I didn't know how I was going to do it I didn't want to use any guns as that would be cheating and if Spikes dragon code was anything to go by. Then it would have to be either hand to hand or the use of melee weapons. The second thing was I forgot the foals tend to snore which wasn't so bad but I did find out that Ember is as loud as Rainbow Dash and I didn't have any earplugs tonite. But exhaustion won out and I fell asleep even with a chainsaw going off in my ear.

The morning came and everyone got up and got ready for the picnic although when I found out that Ember went with Rarity and Sassy to her boutique I was intrigued. But that would have to wait as for now I was in charge of making sure Twilight's checklist was checked, yeah for some reason I took over Spikes job on this, today. Not that he was complaining much about it that's it the hippogriff is joining his herd now what was her name again? Starry day no, Star watcher no, Stargazer yeah that's it Stargazer and here is her picture.

"Oh my she is cute but Brian I do think you have enough to handle with all of us I don't think you need another," Luna said looking over my shoulder at the picture on my phone.

"Uh, oh no, see she really likes Spike back in Griffonstone we met her and all she wanted to do was talk and ask about him what he liked if he had a horde and mostly if he was dating anyone," I said letting her get a better look at the picture.

"And what did you tell her?" Luna asked looking at me questionably

"I said she'd have to wait but since he has already gotten his, herd in order, I don't see why Sweetie can't know about her," I said with a little grin.

"Brian that's not very nice to do to your own son," She said looking at me with a stern face only for it to change into a devilish grin. "So when are we going to tell Sweetie about her?"

"Oh, around lunchtime should be good," I said as I leaned over to give her a kiss. After all, she wanted him to have four or five more young mares join last night," I said as we walked back over to Twilight to help with her checklist.

The three of us continued to check the list seeing that Pinkie, Applejack, and Bertha were getting all the deserts and salads made which left the main cooking part for me to do. We had everything ready but there was one problem how were we going to get everything and one to the lake. That answer came to us as a knock on the door opening it I was greeted by well everyone. There was, Big Mac and his herd with Granny Smith in tow, Magnum, and Cookie Crips, Scootaloo's mom, and dad, and sister, the Hooves, Lyra, and Bon-Bon, Shining Cadance and Flurryheart, the all other girls parents and siblings, and last but certainly not least Discord, Celestia, Illusion, and Eris even King Gridel was here.

"Ok I know I'm going to regret asking this but why are all of you here?" I said standing there.

"My dear boy, you were going to have a family picnic so we all decide to come, seeing as we are and will be family," Discord said as Flurry flew from her mother's grip and landed on my face hugging me.

"Well you can't argue with that logic," I said as I pulled Flurry off my face giving her a kiss before putting her on top of my head. This makes it easier cause we've got a lot of food and things we need to take with us,"

"Leave it to me," Discord said before snapping his talons and in an instant, everyone was at the lake with all our stuff set up.

"Next time, warn me before you do that," I said to him before I saw why Rarity Sassy and Ember left earlier.

Standing there was Ember in a very sexy looking bikini.

I walked over to the three of them still looking at the now blushing Ember. "Um, girls why is she wearing that," I said not taking my eyes off her.

"Darling, after her little transformation we could just let her walk around public without something to cover her, now could we?" Rarity said stepping closer to Ember.

"D do y you like it?" Ember asked as she stood there blushing.

All I could do was nod real fast almost shaking Flurry off my head this made Ember smile as the two fashion mares giggled and gave each other a high hoof.

We moved to join the others so we could start but I stopped for a second lifting Flurry of my head. "Sorry, half-pint but I'm going to be working, around, fire for a bit so you're going to have to find another perch," I said as held her in my arms as she pouted.

Handing her off to Ember after she volunteered to watch her, I went over and started the grills. All the while I kept feeling that I forgot something, something important something I never leave the house without oh well I'll figure it out it later. Letting the grills heat up I went to join the others only to be stopped by Spike and he didn't look all too happy.

"Dude that was harsh," He said standing there with his arms crossed.

"Ok, what's this about, because I'm sure whatever it was I am innocent of all charges?" I said trying to lighten the mood.

"The hippogriff chick, Sweetie saw her picture and she wants her to join,' He said looking at me raising his eyebrow.

"Wait, the picture, oh, right Luna still has my phone," I said rubbing the back of my neck. "Well think of it this way son, you'll have diversity and your taking after your old man," I said smiling.

"Dad, I know you want me to be happy and all but could you try and do it without messing with my love life?" He said uncrossing his arms and looking at me with pleading eyes.

"Ok, I promise......Hug," I said opening my arms wide only for him to turn and walk away shaking his head.

"Hey I promised and offered a hug and he just walked away I am hurt, hurt I say, that's it I need a beer," I said to myself as I moved off to find that elusive drink.

My search ended when I found the cooler and surrounding it was all the guys each one holding a bottle of their own as they watched their individual wifes as they played in or near the water.

"So how it hanging guys?" I asked as I opened my bottle and took a swig.

"Low and to the left," Shining said as I moved over to take a seat next to him.

All of us felt the silence was boring so we started talking about normal guy stuff you know what team was the best at Hoofball and how work was going, things like that. But somehow the conversation turned to me having to fight Garble next week thank you Discord.

"What the buck do you mean you're fighting a dragon?" Shining almost yelled.

"Dude, I'm right here and yes I am supposed to fight a dragon on Monday at noon," I said looking at him.

'"And you're not worried, wait what am I saying, you got all those guns of yours it'll be over in ten seconds flat," Bow said sounding a lot like his daughter.

"Eenope, I won't be using any of them," I said making every single one of them do, a spit take and then they all collectively yelled. WHAT!!!!

Ok, now I was deaf, as I tried to get the ringing in my ears to stop I was lifted up by magic only to come face to muzzle with Celestia, just when did she show up?

"Brian what in my mother name are you thinking, you have to use them dragons are very dangerous and you could be seriously hurt or worse even killed," She said looking at me with a stern expression.

"Look I know ok, I know I could get hurt or die without my guns but the thing is..... Did you know other than Zebracans, Dragons are the only ones that remember humans and not in a good way?" I said making her look at me funny. " That's right Dragons remember humans as a monster that hunted them down killing them, So excuse me if I don't want to have that title put on me, hell Ember still flinches if I move too quickly," I said as Celestia put me back on the ground. "Now if you'll excuse me I have some grilling to do," I said as I walked off.

"I had no idea, I always thought humans were honorable but to think they would?" Bow said before Shining cut him off.

"Not all humans were evil just like not all Ponies are good there is always two side to every coin and I hope you remember that," Shining said as he walked over to help Brian at the grills.

"There are more things in Heaven and Equis Marehoratio than are dreamt of in your philosophy," Discord said as he stood there in a Shakespearean costume.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Bow said looking at Discord.

"What my dear husband means is Brian knows what it is like to take the life of another and he believes if he defeats this Garble without killing him then he will prove to the Dragons that humans are not the monsters they always feared'" Celestia said as she looked back to see Brian working the grills with Shining.

I was cooking on the grill trying not to think about what happened earlier when Shining came over and offered to help. So not turning down slave labor, I mean free help, we spent the time getting everyone's favorite dish made and I will say this there were a lot. But you somehow we got everything cooked and it was still hot when we set it on the table. A big U shaped table that looked really familiar like the one inside my house in the dining room, DAMN IT DISCORD YOU TOOK MY TABEL DIDN"T YOU!?

Hehehehehehehe

I'm just glad the size of it works so well, to suit everyone here comfortably with room to spare, and if your wondering when Twi did that bigger on the inside thing I built a table to fit the new dining rooms size. Like I was saying everyone had their favorite food and a place to sit looking around I couldn't help but feel that this is what I always wanted to have a family, not just a family but a big family and now I have one. Even Lyra and Bon-Bon were family one-thousandth cousins twice removed but still family. I even went with Lyra when she presented her thesis on human evolution to the professors of Equestrian University with all the books I gave her and me being there as well she got her Ph.D.'s in anthropology and archeology. And she even proved that the dreams of dreamers can come true.

After lunch, we all decided to just kick back and relax I chose to lay, at the shore of the lake with my feet just in the water. I was about to fall asleep when a scream made me shoot up and look around hearing it again I bolted into the direction only to be greeted by the sight of Merry and Sassy both lying on the ground hurt. Rushing over to them as the others had shown up as well Luna Twilight and Celestia began to use their magic to heal them.

"They're gone they took them," Merry said through tear-filled eyes.

"Who's gone what happened?" Twilight asked as she used a healing spell on Sassy.

"The babies three dragons took them," Sassy said as she tried to stand but failed only to have Barda come over and pick her up.

"Listen we got this, go find our babies and bring them home safe," Ember said as she walked up to me. "And Brian I giving you permission as Dragon Lord don't let a single one of them live."

I didn't even acknowledge her as I turned and headed to the house calling for Timber and Freedom to follow me.

"I could have sworn they were going to try and take the children tomorrow?" Discord said to himself. "Oh well, I guess he just gets his Heart's Warming present early,' He said making a suit of armor appear in a pocket dimension.
