We got home in less than two hours mostly because I was driving at close to a hundred everyone else want me to slow down but every time I looked at Pinkie I just knew we had to get there fast. I didn't even shut off the engine when we arrived both Pinkie and I just jumped out of the Rv and were greeted by the rest of the girls and Spike all of them had tears in their eyes.

"What happen Zecora, Twilight, Spike?" I asked looking at all three of them.

Without a word being said Pinkie 's hair deflated completely and she took off for Sugarcube Corner. I was about to run after her when Spike handed me a letter.

"Here you'll want to read this," He said looking at the ground.

Taking the letter I began to read it only stopping at the words, We regret to inform you. I looked up from the letter before continuing it, all the time I fell tears streaming from my eye. Reading on it got harder and harder until I just threw the letter down and ran after Pinkie I had to get to her and comfort my greaving mare. Making my way to Sugarcube Corner I stepped inside just as this one pony I never met was walking out he turned to me and bowed his head I could see on his face was total sadness. I looked over to see Pinkie on the floor in front of the Cake twins. I've met the family many times and I loved Pumpkin and Pound as much as I love Rhythm and Blues. Walking over I got down on the floor and watched as Pinkie just stared at the two innocent foals as the played.

"Cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye," Pinkie said her trademark promise." I promise to be the bestest mommy for them Mr. and Mrs. Cake." She as the twins just played on the floor.

I scooted closer placing my hand on her back making Pinkie look at me. Cross my heart hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye I said to Pinkie and did the routine." I promise you will never be alone we are family and these foals are our children now so you will be their mommy and I'll be their daddy," I said as Pinkie moved up and we began hugging at that moment Pinkie let it all out and she began crying and all I could do was hold her until she was done.

As I held her I looked over at the door to see the rest of my herd and family standing there looking at us. Nodding my head they all came in and join the hug holding onto Pinkie showing her she was not alone with this. Merry had even brought Rythum and Blues who also hugged and kissed their mommy Pinkie before going over to play with the Cake Twins. I couldn't understand how this happened they were good ponies why did they have to die and then I remembered the list of names I wrote down of my children Pumpkin and Pound were on the list.

Oh God, I knew they were going to be my kids but I didn't say anything I could have said something and maybe then the Cakes would still be.... No, I cant do this not now I have to stay strong for Pinkie and the twins no for all of them my family I can't let this stop me I have to be strong. So for the next two days, I helped Pinkie get through this. I was worried that she would want to close down Sugarcube Corner but she said it was part of this town and she knew the Cakes would want it to stay open no matter what. The other things we did were to prepare for the funeral and t go see the lawyer. See according to the Cakes will Pinkie is the legal guardian of the twins but after the cakes learned that I was going to marry Pinkie they changed it making the both of us the twins guardians. And now we're at the lawyer's office signing the adoption papers. After I signed the last paper I couldn't help but smile a little thinking that my grandmothers family name will live on not just with Pumpkin and Pound but Rythum and Blues also hold my families name and so will all of my... I mean our children. They are now the children of Brian Fionn Mac Cumhaill or Brian Finn MacCool and Pinkamena Diane Pie Mac Cumhaill or MacCool which every way you want to say it.

And yes Rainbow Dash has said how much she will love having that last name.

Like I said we were getting everything taken care of and Twilight would have been so proud of Pinkie and how organized she was. The way she was acting started to make me worry she was acting the total opposite of her normal self and I know dealing with all this, why would I want her to be happy? Because that's who she is, she is Pinkie Pie the pony of smiles and when she's not smiling then the world might as well end. Just like if Twilight wasn't adorkable or Applejack a hard worker or Fluttershy, Luna, and Zecora always wanting to help others and the rest of them being who they are it's just wrong.

So two days after the funeral when I heard the giggles coming from my Cotton Candy Princess I knew things were going to be alright.

Now like I said it was two days after the funeral so that was actually four days ago we found out about the Cakes. All this time everypony helped out with what they could do. Sassy found some bakers who wanted a change of pace from Canterlot to help Pinkie manage Sugarcube Corner. Turns out one of them knew Chiffon Swirl before she became Mrs. Cake.

Things were slowly getting back to normal somewhat Pinkie is laughing again and making other's smile and the twins, the twins are getting used to living at my place I just glad R and B are there.
I guess having kids about the same age helps.
Last night was a little hard see Pound had a bad dream and woke up crying this inter woke up Pumpkin and then Rythum and finally Blues. So instead of the girls taking care of it I went in and picked up all four of them and held them so they would stop crying but that wasn't working so I did the only thing I could think of. I began singing the only lullaby that worked on me when I was little.

And just like me all four of them fell fast asleep but not before they all said three words that made me smile.

Love You, Daddy.
