The room was quiet after Gaia asked her question. I looked at her and leaned down so she could hear me whisper.

“That pony lady is your mother so be respectful.” I whispered and looked at her with a stern gaze. Gaia looked at me then at Luna, she nodded her head and sat down next to the door. I stood back up to my full height and walked down to the thrones.

“Before you ask she is the spirit of nature.” I said as I walked past Celestia who in the time I was talking to my daughter had walked up to me. I knelt down next to Luna and lifted her into my arms. I walked over to Gaia. I set Luna down on the floor and looked at Gaia.

“I am going to get some salt stay with her.” I said as I got back up and headed over to my rooms. I walked into my front door and saw Fear sitting in one of the chairs watching a movie on the wide screen. I walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned and looked at me nearly spearing me with his horn, he smiled sheepishly in apology.

“Hey Fear what are you watching.” I asked as I looked at the movie trying to remember if I have seen it before. He chuckled and turned back to the screen.

“It’s call Mist and it is a very good movie with a terrible ending.” He said as a girl got stung by some mutant wasp. I grimaced as the girl in the film started to swell up like a puss filled wart. I shook my head at this nasty film and walked into the kitchen and grabbed the smelling salt. I walked out and looked at the screen and wished that i hadn’t as the girl was split open in a few places and there was a thick pus oozing out. I shuddered and walked back out into the throne room to see that Celestia and Gaia were laughing together. I smiled as I walked towards them tapped Celestia on the back making her spin around with a blush.

“She seems adequate.” Celestia said quickly making me and Gaia laugh rolling on the floor holding our sides.  I stood up and walked to the blushing Celestia and pulled her into a hug.

“It’s ok to like my daughter Celly.” I said as I let her go and looked at her with my hands on her shoulders. I smiled and let her go happy to see that she had calmed down somewhat. I then pulled out the smelling salts and wafted them around Luna’s nose making her sneeze. She blinked a few times and looked at me with a smile.

“Oh Paradox I had the strangest dream. You had brought a little human girl and told me it was my daughter.” She said with a laugh not seeing Gaia who was directly behind her. I saw out of the top of my eye Gaia’s eyebrow shot up. I started to snicker and hold my hand over my mouth trying not to laugh out loud but Luna was looking at me directly so it didn’t hide anything.

“What’s so funny?” Luna asked as she raised one eyebrow making me lose all sense of composer and burst out laughing I could only point past Luna at Gaia. Luna turned around curious as to what was so funny. When her eye’s came into contact with Gaia she started shaking. She turned back to me with smile and hugged me.

“I am going to be a mother?” She asked as she shed tears on my shirt. I pulled her into me and smiled.

“Yes my love you are going to be a mother and a great one at that.” I said as I stroked her back. Gaia came over to us and gave her new mother a tearful hug. Luna gasped and looked at Gaia with a mix of fear and joy.

“I-I have a m-m-mother.” Gaia cried into Luna’s shoulder. I looked over them and then seeing that they were having a moment together I backed up to Celestia who was looking over them. Once I was standing next to her she looked over to me and asked a question that I was not prepared for.

“How do you do it......How is it that you always know what to do to put a smile on her face.” Celestia asked as she looked over me with a mix of happiness and anger as she isn’t always as good at telling what would make her sister happy.

“I don’t I have always wanted a daughter of my own and seeing this young spirit all alone I couldn’t help but choose to adopt her.” I said without looking over at Celestia as I watched my family. After I saw that the moment was coming to a close I turned to Celestia to see that she had a shocked face.

“Y-y-you always wanted a family?” Celestia asked uncertainly as I looked her over. I smiled and nodded my head giving her a non-verbal yes. After a few moments Luna with Gaia sitting on her back walked over to us. I smiled and ruffled Gaia’s hair and led them to our rooms. I opened the door and walked into the main living room to see that Fear had finished his movie and left. I saw a note on the table so I picked it up and read it.

“Paradox nice job on the daughter I have moved out and am now living in one of the guest rooms. PS Courage stopped by Blueblood’s mother tried to take him out of the orphanage. She is under house arrest until you decide what to do with her. Signed your faithful servant Fear” After I finished reading the note I burned it to ash. I turned to the living room and looked at Luna and Gaia who had concerned looks on their faces.

“I have somthing to take care of I will be back in a moment.” I said and closed my eyes teleporting out of the room without listening to their protests. When I opened my eyes I was outside of a pristine white marble manner. It was on one floor and in a circle. It had many decorations and engravings of ponies that were from the past on the rim of the roof. I slowly walked up to the front doors that I saw were flanked by two of Luna’s unicorn guards. I nodded to them and they bowed as I walked in through the front door. I walked towards the essence of Silver Lining. I arrived at the dining room, I saw Silver Lining sitting at the head of the table eating a veggie soup. She looked up from her soup and saw me standing in the doorway. After a few second she sighed and continued eating.

“I am to guess that from you respond you know why i am here?” I asked already knowing the answer. She looked back at me and glared but unlike last time it didn’t phase me in the slightest. I walked to the other end of the table and sat down.

“I am going to be plain here. I gave you a warning about what would happen if you tried to interfere with Blueblood’s raising I would make you life miserable and I wasn’t joking. So this is what is going to happen you are going to go to court tomorrow and I will give you your punishment there and if you try to run away I will put a bounty on your life.” I said as I sat in that chair. After I was done I stood up and bowed to the pony. I stood back up to my full height and teleported back to my rooms where Luna and Gaia were sitting and watching The Wizard of Ozz. I silently walked up behind them after I was right next to them I leaned down and whispered into their ears.

“How is the movie?” I whispered to them making them jump straight into the air. Once they had brought their breath under control they both glared at my from which was currently rolling on the floor laughing. After a few minutes of laughing I was able to stop with only a few chuckles breaking out. I stood up and met their glares with a smile.

“So what did you have to go do?” Asked Luna as she walked over to me still with a small glare firmly plastered on her face. I walked into her and pulled her into a hug. I held her there till she felt better about my little trick.

“I had to personally deliver a court hearing to Blueblood’s mother.” I answered as I walked into the half circle of chairs and sat down. I put my head in my hands and sighed. After a few moments of this I looked into Luna’s eyes and saw something that I had hoped I would never see from her, fear.

“W-w-what do you plan on doing to her?” Luna asked with fear in her voice. I looked at her my eyes clearly showing hurt. I stood up and walked into the kitchen. I pulled down the special bottle of Moonshine that I keep up there for such purposes. I pulled out the top and drank a huge mouthful and then replaced the cap and put the bottle back where I got it. I stumbled into the living room and sat back down.

“Luna she....hic she will be fine her pride will be....hic will be hurt but she’ll be fine.” I mumbled out as I fell out of the chair and onto the floor out cold. Luna rushed over to me and picked me up. She carried me to bed and looked over me tears in her eyes.

“Don’t do anything you will regret.” Luna said as she looked over me. She climbed  into the bed and fell asleep. I woke up and looked over to the door and I saw Gaia standing  there with a look of confusion.

“Where am I going to sleep?” She asked as I stood up and walked over to her. I picked her up and walked down the hall to an empty bit of wall I waved my hand and brought a pick door into existence. I opened it to show a large white room with a pink bed and  a blue dresser. I set  her down and smiled.

“This is your room and you can do with it as you wish.” I said as I walked out of my daughters room and into the hallway. I walked into our room and saw something that sobered me right up and set a fire to my loins. Luna was sitting in bed her eyes were have lidded and she was biting her lower lip.

The next morning I had a humongous head ache. I slowly sat up and pulled the covers off of myself. I stood up and saw that Luna was not in bed. I heard a crash from the kitchen and went to go investigate what I saw nearly made me die of over exposure to daww. Luna was sitting on the floor with pancake mix covering her face and there were several pans surrounding her.

“Luna you look very cute and I can teach you how to cook at a later date but I was thinking of taking you and Gaia to breakfast at the main eating hall.” I said as I leaned against the wall with a smirk on my face. She looked at me with tears in her eyes.

“I would make such a worthless wife. I can’t even cook.” Luna cried as she fell to the floor in a big mess of mix and pans. I used my magic to clean the room and Luna. I knelt down and hugged her.

“You huss....Just cause you don’t know how to cook now doesn’t mean that you can't learn.” I said as I stroked her hair and picked her up off the ground and set her down on her hooves. I looked at her with a happy face and kissed her on the lips.

“Ewwww.” Gaia said from behind us making us laugh. We both pulled her into a hug and kissed her on the top of the head. She repeated her line and then squirmed out of our legs and arms. She stuck her tongue out at us only for me to grab it. She panicked as I had her tongue firmly gripped in my fingers.

“That is not something befitting of a lady--Now I am going to let go are you going to do it again?” I asked to which I got a very small head shake. I released her tongue and she quickly pulled it back into her mouth.

“Now young lady go get dressed we are going to the main eating hall to see Auntie Celly for breakfast.” I said as I dried my fingers on my pant legs. She smiled at the mention of Celestia and ran into her room to pick out some clothes for the day. We waited a few minutes for her to get back in the living room. When she was back I put one hand on Luna’s back and the other one inside Gaia’s hand. After we were all connected I teleported us to the main eating hall. Once the light from my teleport died down we grabbed a seat at the top of the table. Celestia was sitting down at the head while Luna and I sat on her right side and Gaia sat on her left. We sat eating and talking for about half an hour. When it was time we got up and walked to the throne room. Once there I taught Gaia a little magic so she could make her own throne. I gave her a seed.

“Alright Gaia I want you to imagine in your mind this seed growing into a chair made of wood that looks like our thrones.” As I said this Gaia had her eyes closed and she was concentrating really hard after a few moments the seed started to glow green and it started to grow. Gaia dropped it on the ground at the base of the stairs. The seed continued to grow and twist and turn until a throne made out of wooden vine sat next to the stairs up to our thrones. She sat down on the throne and tried to look as regal as possible. The rest of us after smiling at each other over her succes sat down and the day began. The crier started the day with the case that I was not looking forward to.

“We will start today with the trial of a Miss Silver Lining.” Yelled the crier as she read from a scroll and I sat up straight my eyes smoldering with anger. A pair of guards brought Silver Lining to the base of the steps and she stared at me with a glare that could pierce iron plating.

“Lets get this over with so I don’t have to look at you and you ugly daughters faces as long shall we.” Silver Lining said with a sneer. Luna’s stare at me turned to a glare of pure hate that was directed at Miss Lining. Gaia was trying to hold back tears and Celestia looked like she was about to send her to the moon. While I was calm simply calm and that scared Silver Lining more then anything. Next Chapter: Chapter 12 Estimated time remaining: 24 Minutes
