Chapter 1 - The Story Continues!
It's been two years!? Has it been that long already? I didn't realise. Can you blame me though? I have been in a relationship with the most beautiful and down right craziest mare I have ever been with, actually, she's the only mare I’ve been with. I admit, Dinky took a while to call me dad, Sparkler accepted it like it was normal.
I couldn't be happier and that's the truth. I have found the life I’ve always craved and I love it! And it's not just the sex! What? Derpy is very adventurous when it comes to exploring each other, however there was that one night I think we mentally scarred Dinky. She walked in during one of our 'sessions', she never spoke for a while.
The marriage we had was the best thing that ever happened to me, I got the mare of my dreams and all my friends were there. Yes, you heard me, all my friends. Even the one's that told me to get laid and find somepony. The gifts we received during the wedding were more than weird, some should not be discussed in conversation unless somepony asked......

I stare at the parchment in front of me, the quill hovering above the last word I wrote. I sigh and pick up the paper. I screw the parchment up and throw it in the nearby bin, I miss.
“Dad? Are you up here?” Sparkler shouts.
“I'm in here!” I shout back, turning in my chair as the door opens.
“Mum wants to see you.”
“Thanks, Sparkler? Can I ask you something?” My one wing twitches in nervousness.
“Sure dad, what's on your mind?” Sparkler sits down in front of me.
“Have I made a good father?” Sparkler let's out a gasp. “I know I haven't been around very long but I just want to know, have I made you proud.”
Sparkler stands up and hugs me. “You have made mum happy and in doing so have made me and Dinky happy, why would you even think such things?”
I sigh, melting into my step daughters embrace. “I just have images that I haven't been doing so great as a father, I haven't taken all of you out in a long time, I haven't helped you or Dinky with anything.” I release myself from Sparklers hug. “I just want to do more.”
Sparkler glares at me. “I am proud to call you my dad, these last two years have been the best in my life.” Sparkler smiles. “We are a family again, and it's all thanks to you.”
Tears form in my eyes. “I'm sorry Sparkler, for saying all these things.”
“You don't have to be sorry, we all have times in our lives that we look back and ask ourselves 'did we do enough?'” Sparkler walks back to the door. “Now come on mum has an announcement to make.”
“An announcement?” I ask, following after Sparkler. “About what?”
“Your guess is as good as mine.”
“Better not dawdle then.” I reply.
Me and Sparkler head down to the front room where Derpy was sitting with Dinky. When we enter Derpy beams at me, her wings fluttering. I sit down next to Derpy, ruffling Dinky's mane. The filly let's go of Derpy and hugs me, wrapping her fore legs around my waist. I smile and hug Dinky back.
“You called my dearest?” I say, leaning in and kissing Derpy.
“I did, I have an announcement for all of us.” Derpy swallows hard and then looks me in the eyes. “I'm carrying.” I sit in silence, my brain trying to comprehend her words. “Starstruck? Speak to me!”
A large smile starts to form, as I finally realise what Derpy has stated. I turn my head sideways and look at Sparkler.
“Sparkler could you take Dinky and give us some privacy please?”
Sparkler smiles. “Yeah sure, come on Dinks, mum and dad need some alone time.”
My heart still pumps hard when I hear them call me dad, I had no idea how they would react when this relationship first started, but I’m glad I was accepted. As Dinky and Sparkler leave the living room and close the door behind them, I turn my head back to Derpy who had lowered her head looking very rejected.
“What's a matter?” I ask, scooting closer and nuzzling her neck.
“Your going to reject me now, aren't you?”
I recoil in shock. “What!? Why in the wide world of Equestria would I do that!?”
“I'm with foal, the last stallion rejected me when I got pregnant with Dinky.” Derpy starts to cry. “I can never do anything right!” Derpy blurts out.
“I am not going to reject you! Why would you even think that? I'm your stallion, now and forever.” I kiss Derpy's neck and receive a giggle in response. “We shall have no more of those thoughts, ok?”
Derpy nods, smiling. “Ok.” Derpy leans into my body.
“How far along are you?” I ask.
“Two months.”
“Two months? But your barely showing?”
“I know! It shocked me when the doctor told me!” Derpy puts one wing around my back, I follow suit putting one of my forelegs around her waist. “I just thought I was putting on weight!”
I squeeze her waist. “Just gives me something to grab in bed.” I reply, chuckling. “You have a wonderful body, and I always feel honoured to snuggle it every night.”
“Your just saying that!”
I squeeze again. “Are you sure?” I wiggle my eyebrows.
“Stop! You know I’m ticklish there!” Derpy says, trying her best to push me away.
“What, you mean here?” I lean closer and start to tickle her sides.
Derpy giggles and cries out for mercy, I continue to attack pressing my advantage.
“No mercy!” I shout out.
“No! I'm gonna pee!” Derpy shouts between giggles.
“Well in that case.” I stop my attacks and pull away.
“Why did you stop!?” Derpy asks, lying on her side.
“Oh I didn't stop, I'm just warming up.” I reply, grinning.
“You mad stallion!” Derpy says, just before I lunge again pinning her to the couch.
I stare into Derpy's eyes, the way they parted was now quite a turn on for me. I leaned in and gave Derpy a kiss on the lips. I relished in the feeling of her tongue begging me to let it explore my mouth, I granted it it's wish. Our tongues danced and mingled, damn she was so sexy, I hated the things other ponies say about her. I mainly kept quiet about hearing such things but Derpy assured me she pays no attention. I push the thoughts out of my head as our kiss came to a close.
“Wow! You haven't kissed me like that in some time!”
“I know! I hate that I haven't given you more time!” I say, frowning at myself. “You are my whole world Derpy, you and the girls. I know you love me and I know the girls love me too, but I can't help but feel I could do more for us.”
Derpy strokes my cheek with a hoof. “You have been wonderful, as a father to my foals and a lover to me. I want nothing more.” Derpy gives me a quick peck on the lips. “Now is this going anywhere or are we going to ruin the couch?” Derpy asks, her eyes going half lidded.
“It depends.”
“Depends on what?”
“On what the girls are comfortable hearing.” I chuckle.
Me and Derpy hear a muffled gag on the other side of the door, I laugh and sit up letting Derpy slide off the couch. Derpy opens the living room door, Sparkler and Dinky tumble in, both grinning sheepishly.
“And what are you two listening in on?” Derpy asks her offspring.
“We thought you and daddy were going to shout.” Dinky says.
“Seems to be a lot of wrong thinking going on today.” I say, walking over. “Why don't we pack something up and head out to the park? I feel like eating out tonight.”
“Are you sure?” Derpy asks.
“Why not, everypony has gotten used to us being together.”
“But...”
I bop Derpy on the nose. “No buts, I'm sick and tired of what ponies say about you! You are a beautiful mare and you have two beautiful young girls. I love you for who you are, and I don't want to hear anything else, ok?”
Derpy smiles before kissing me. “Ok.” Derpy says after pulling away.
“Now what shall we pack?” I ask all of them. Dinky was the first to jump up.
“Oh! I know!”
It was such a lovely evening and it wasn't because I had the three most important things to me by my side. I laughed as Derpy finished the joke she was telling, I put my remaining wing over my mare and went to tell my own joke. I stop as I heard something that made my skin crawl and my anger rise.
“Oh look! It's the family of freaks!”
I spun around and eyed the ponies trotting around, my teeth were bared. “WHO BUCKING SAID THAT!” I shouted, my voice not hiding the anger. “I SAID, WHO SAID THAT! OR ARE YOU TOO MUCH OF A COWARD!?” My whole body was shaking in rage.
“Starstruck, love. Just let it go!” Derpy says, placing a hoof on my shoulder. “I'm used to it.”
“But you shouldn't have to put up with it!” I reply. “Ponyville is supposed to be a place of acceptance and you have to put up with that!”
“It's how it's always been, I hear bad things all the time but I pay it no attention as I know I have three things most precious to me to come home to.”
“I....” I turn back and lower my wing, taking a deep breath I calm myself. “Your right, I should expect it really.” I kiss Derpy and smile to Dinky and Sparkler. “Come on, let's get going.”
The three of us continue on, the thought still lingering in my head. Who said that and even dared to say it in public! I had to find out! No pony insults me or my beloved family and gets away with it!
