My Little Jackie

Chapter Four: Family Reunion, Part 1.

I woke up as early as I could, without trying to wake up Applejack, and got the stuff I packed ready. I had packed clothes for Applejack to wear, as well as everything she'd need. I had packed diapers, baby powder, everything else that had to deal with changing her, and had also put her stuffed bear all inside a duffle bag. Thankfully, I was able to do all of this without waking up Applejack.

I got my stuff ready, setting all of it in the back of my SUV. I then went to get Applejack, heading back to my room very quickly I might add. When I got to my room I walked silently towards Applejack. When I got to her, I wrapped her in her blanket, the bangs of her mane hanging out of it a bit.

I took her to the car, and buckled her into her car seat behind me. I pray that my family doesn't flip out when they see her. I buckled in myself, and started the car so I could drive to my parents' house. It didn't take long for me to get there, and thankfully, Applejack was still asleep when I got there.

I got out of my SUV, and got the two bags out from the trunk. When I closed the trunk door, I heard someone from behind me say "Hey, Logan, took ya long enough!" It was Rose.

"Whaddya mean? I'm on time." I said, heading towards the RV to put my stuff inside. While inside, I noticed an over head sleeping area and laid claim on it. When I got out, I noticed Rose heading towards my car. "Stop it right there, Squirt!" I said to her before she could get closer.

"Would you not call me that!? I'm only shorter than you by a couple of inches!" Rose argued against me. She was four years younger than me, ripe young age of twenty. She moved her long brunet bangs away from her eyes, both a pool of blue.

Before I could say anything, Mom and Dad came out, with Mom asking "What's going on?" as she walked closer to the both of us. I wanted to lie, but I kept my mouth shut.

"Logan called me "Squirt" and won't let me near his car." Rose explained, leaning against my SUV. I had my reasons for not letting her near it. One, I didn't want her near it. Two, I didn't trust her near it. Three, the most important reason, Applejack was inside.

"Look, I'll explain when we're in the RV." I said, heading for the side door AJ was on and opening said door. "She's still sleeping, and I don't wanna wake her up." I continued, unbuckling and taking Applejack out of her car seat and into my arms.

"She?" Mom asked as Dad gave me a quizzical look. I wanted to slap my forehead for (somewhat) mentioning Applejack. I closed the car door with my side, and went straight into the RV.

I laid Applejack on one of the benches, and motioned for my family to come inside as I unwrapped Applejack from her blanket. "Okay, Logan, what's this about?" my sister asked after everyone was inside the RV, and the door was shut and locked.

"Well, I'm not sure how to put this..." I said, my back turned to everyone as I stood up straight with Applejack in my arms once more. I turned around, revealing the baby filly peacefully sleeping in my arms.

Rose screamed a bit, and I quickly tried to cover Applejack's ears. Sadly I wasn't fast enough, and mu baby girl began to cry from the rude awakening.

I began to bounce her up and down in hopes of calming her down. "Really, Rose?" I asked as Applejack continued to ball loudly. I set Applejack on a bench, and rummaged through the duffle bag so I could find Applejack's teddy bear. I found the blue stuffed animal, that wore it's sewn red bowtie, and pulled it out. I began to shake the bear in front of Applejack slightly.

"Here, sweetie, here's Stuffy." I said, coaxing Applejack to grab her bear. She opened her eyes, having them been shut earlier, with them still watery a bit. She stopped crying out, and looked at her bear before grabbing it, and pulling it into a hug.

"Who... Who, no, WHAT is that, Logan?" my mom asked, walking to over to comfort Rose. I could hear the way her voice sounded. It was a combination of fear and, for some odd reason, happiness.

I picked up Applejack, holding her in my arms close to my chest, and took a while to reply. "She's..." I finally said after two minutes. "She's my daughter. Applejack." I continued, caressing Applejack with both of my hands. I began to weave my hand through her mane, and I told her "It's okay, Daddy's here." I then began to explain how I cam across Applejack, and how I began to take care of her.

"So... You're apart of the Brony fandom, you went to sleep on the night of Daniel's funeral, only to be awoken by the sound of firecrackers and lightning..." Rose began to say after I was finished explaining. "And you found a My Little Pony, as a baby, who seems to be like one of the main characters "Applejack" sleeping on your couch underneath her trade mark hat?"

I took a deep a deep breath, sighing a bit in fear. "Yes, she called me "Daddy" yesterday, and I've been calling her my daughter." I explained, before setting Applejack down. "Now, before you're going to say anything about how ludicrous this seems to be, I'm going to continue speaking. If you love me, than you must understand that I love Applejack. She is my daughter, I just can't throw her out into the wild, she can speak! It's dangerous out in the world for her, especially because she can speak and of her age! If you love me enough to accept me for who I am, than it's going to have to be the same with Applejack."

"Logan..... I'll accept Applejack into the family." Rose told me, as she walked towards me and stood next to me.

"Any one else?" I asked, waiting for my parents to walk over to me and Rose. They couldn't stay for long, and eventually caved in and walked over to me, both replying what Rose had said, though my dad's was a bit more moodier than Rose's response. "Good. Let's go, we've lost some traveling time because of me." I said, motioning my mom to head to the driver's seat in the cockpit of the RV, so we could go.

8 hours later...

It's been eight hours since we've left my parents' place in Buford, and we were in Atlanta, Georgia, at that point. I was playing with Applejack, making funny faces at her and making her giggle a bit. Rose came over to me, sitting a bit away from me. "Hey," she began, looking down at the floor, "sorry for screaming earlier. Mind if I hold her?"

I nodded a "no", meaning I didn't mind, and handed Applejack over to Rose. "Hi there, I'm your Aunt Rose!" my sister said to Applejack with a huge smile. "What's your name again?

Applejack smiled, her tongue sticking out a bit. "I'm Applejack!" she said, throwing her arms out, probably for a hug. Rose and I, we laughed a bit. Something stopped the laughter, though; the sound of something hitting Rose's legs. I looked over and saw some yellow liquid falling onto Rose's legs, coming from Applejack's diaper.

I laughed, and took Applejack back into my hands. "Guess somepony needs her diaper changed!" i said as I pulled out a new diaper, and walked towards the counter next to the sink.

To be continued...

Author's Note

Aww, Applejack's been accepted into the family! Hope Rose knows how to get pee off her legs without having the scent stain. Now, we wait for part two to this two part chapter! Logan's going to have fun at his family reunion. Or will he?

"SPOOKY! SCARY! SKELETONS!"
