“You’re really too good to me Fluttershy. You know I’ve waited my whole life for someone to be there for me the way you do; holding my hand each day of the year. Making me feel like I’ve been born for a reason, as if my was, now, and forever were all formulated so we could share just a few perfect moments with eachother.”

“I know how you feel Twilight…” Fluttershy said, staring star eyed at her best friend in the world, “I-I wanna spend my life with you, you know; cuddling, talking, and eating. I-I don’t ever wanna see you go; never, not even for a second. Please always be there for me.”

Breathing a bit heavier now, the girl leaned in to draw her lips upon her friend’s forehead, “Fluttershy, you know I always will.”

“You-uh…” Fluttershy smiled. Her face lit up with a shade of red that got progressively hotter and hotter. Her arms wrapped around her friend’s neck, she leaned her looked upwards at her friend.

Closing their eyes, the aligned their lips and kissed, smashing the puckered flesh against each other. Slowly, the two’s tongues entered each other’s mouths as they formulated incomprehensible moans.

Suddenly, the two became touchier. Fluttershy started grinding her sprawled legs into the front of Twilght’s skirt. Twilight meanwhile rubbed her hands up and down Fluttershy’s sides, pulling her naked body close to her own.

As the two were enticed with each other, the sound of a stopping car and sights of flashing lights came through the room’s windows. Catching the attention of the couple, they immediately broke up their hug. Fluttershy hopped over the couch to cover her diaper with a pair of pajama pants that Twilight bought, along with another white t-shirt she’d bought earlier.

Twilight waited patiently at the door waiting for the words she was expecting. Almost perfectly on time, the knock on the door was followed by,

“It’s the police, you’re not in trouble. We just really need to talk to you Ma’am.”

Confused, Twilight shrugged as Fluttershy grabbed her shoulder. Obviously the police were hear with a mission at mind.

“Y-Yes officer?” Twilight meekly answered, opening the door.

An officer dressed in his proper black vest took off his hat, “Oh my, you’re Majesty…” He said bowing. Standing back, he held his hat over his heart, “A thousand pardons. My name is Flash Sentry. I’m here to deliver someone rather important to Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy peaked head from the side of Twilight’s shoulder and waved, “Oh… yoo-hoo!” she said stepping out fully, “W-who is it? Is it Rainbow Dash? I heard she stumbled out of here angrily this morning. S-she isn’t hasn’t been arrested or something has she?”

Flash took off his glasses and gave Fluttershy a rather serious sigh. He rubbed his temple before calming himself, “Well… Rainbow Dash jumped the gun in moving. Earlier today, I got a report from my department talking about a possible case of domestic disturbance.”

“Oh my! Did Rainbow get into a fight?” the timid girl asked, nervously stroking her mane with her hands.
Flash shook his head, “No. From what we’ve picked up from the letter she left, Rainbow Dash hopped on the nearest charter over to Ireland. Well, specifically Belfast. She took everything she could carry. All her jewelry was gone, all the electronics, even a good part of her wardrobe.”

Fluttershy closed her eyes a few seconds before looking up at the police officer, “W-why are you telling me this?”

“Well…” Flash said avoiding eye contact with the girl, “S-she has a dependent you know? A young one…”

“Y-you’re tell that-“ The timid girl said, covering her mouth.

Flash nodded, looking into the Fluttershy’s eyes, “You’re her legal guardian in Rainbow’s absence. Not to mention with the counts of neglect Rainbow has amounted by now, Celestia’s United Kingdom is obligated to put her in the care of a better guardian. I mean after all, you do have several years’ experience, working at a daycare center, right?” Flash rubbed the head of a girl that was holding onto his pants leg.

“Yes. So y-you’re telling me that-“the girl tried saying again.

Flash nodded more aggressively, “Yes, Fluttershy…” Flash said kneeling down next to the child, “Scootaloo is now your child…”

Fluttershy kneeled down in front of Flash and Scootaloo. Her worried eyes met with the child’s as it ran towards her for a hug. Instinctively, Fluttershy picked up the small child, cradling her in her arms.

Twilight stared slack-jawed at the scene in front of her.

“If you need anything, feel free to give me a call. Uh… your Highness!” Flash said, tipping his hat before walking back towards the police cruiser.

Fluttershy held the girl in her arms, no older than 6, Scootaloo held unto Fluttershy for dear life.

“Oh my…” Twilight said, looking at Fluttershy worried, “I-I didn’t know your were her godmother. H-how are you sweetie?” she said, walking up to the shaky child.

Scootaloo closed her eyes and planted her head against Fluttershy’s flat chest. Keenly observant, Fluttershy picked up on Scootaloo’s outfit and body.

Scootaloo was covered from head to toe in small scars, certainly the act of her ‘stunts’. Her slender limbs covered up by an orange t-shirt and black blue running shorts. Her little feet covered by a pair of blue converses. She looked stressed, almost like she’d been crying.

‘It’d be best to just comfort her for now’ Fluttershy thought to herself.

“It’s alright baby…” The timid girl said, bouncing the girl up and down in her arms, “You have two mommies now…” she planted a kiss on the young girl’s forehead. Looking into Scootaloo’s magenta eyes, she they smiled, “and I promise, they’ll never leave you alright?”

Scootaloo didn’t say a word, strange as was such an independent girl whenever they were with Rainbow Dash. The way she was acting now was different a bit… ‘Clingy’. It’s probably just been a rough day for her.

Nervously, Twilight started moving things around in the background; carrying random bags into their separate locations. Making sure that everything got to where it needed to be. The bags away, she closed the nursery’s door, and ran up to Fluttershy who was still rocking the poor girl.

“So…” the studious girl in the said, patting her girlfriend’s back, “Our baby girl…” she smiled, “This’ll be interesting, now won’t it?”

****

Twilight patted her friend’s back… “Now this’ll be fun, now won’t it?”

“Hehe, I guess so…” Fluttershy rocked Scootaloo in her arms. The actual weight of a child felt weird to her. It wasn’t the same as lifting a heavy object, or even a stuffed animal. Scootaloo was a real, thinking human being and she was warm.

Scootaloo looked up at Fluttershy, still teary eyed. The small adult cooed at her, “Why hai Scootaloo, aren’t you just such a cutie?” she said, booping her on the nose.

Rubbing her face with both hands, the child smirked, “Fluttershy, I’m not a baby…” she rubbed her face again, “That also kinda hurt.”

“Oh, sorry about that. Uh, Twily!” the timid girl yelled, trying to get the attention of her friend. This situation was new. What was even worse is it was abrupt. It hadn’t even occurred to her yet; the responsibility of a child is a serious one.

Twilight turned her attention back towards Fluttershy, “Oh, sorry Flutters. I was just making sure everything was tidy. Um… you can probably set Scootaloo down you know? Actually, hand her to me!”

Listening to her friend, Fluttershy handed her new ‘daughter’ to Twilight. Scootaloo fidgeted around a bit, but it was most likely because she hadn’t been held in so long. Her former caretaker Rainbow would have never been around, being a R.A.F pilot and all.

Carefully, Twilight accepted the child. Being careful not to leak any unwanted information, Twilight gestured for Fluttershy to listen to her, “Psst. Fluttershy, go into the nursery and change into something more appropriate We can talk about diapers and stuff later if you’d like, but I think Scootaloo would really just like to sit down for a moment.”

While Fluttershy ran off to the nursery, the other two took some time to relax on the couch.

“So…” Twilight joined her knees together, only to cover them up with her hands. “Do you wanna get comfy? It’s alright if you wanna unwind a bit!” It was obvious Twilight was nervous, she hated making first impressions; especially with someone as impressionable as a child.

“I-I guess…” the young child said, kicking off her little shoes. She wiped her face again, a dried tear in her eye. With a half smile on her face, she look over at her caretaker, “Thanks for letting me stay the night or whatever.”

“No problem hun. I’m sorry that Rainbow flew the country like that. None of us could have stopped her.” The princess looked around the room, trying to clear the air, “So, how long had you lived with Dashie?”

“8 months…” Scootaloo said, lifting her legs on the couch and crawling over to Twilight, “She adopted me on my 6th birthday, but she hasn’t been around since.”

“She hasn’t been around period?”

“No…” Scootaloo said, sitting near Twilight, “She just hasn’t been around much since. I had a babysitter named Binky while she was gone. Rainbow was gone 6 out of the 8 months.”

Twilight smiled, wrapping an arm around the girl, “Well, be proud that she served the R.A.F well Scootaloo. I don’t know quite why she left you like that, I’m just glad you’re safe is all.”

“What are you doing here anyway?” Scootaloo asked, curiously.

The girl’s eyes lit up as she realized Scootaloo was only a child. Even in a society where lesbian couples are common place, most children adherently know of cisgender couples.

“Fluttershy and I love each other very much; enough so, that I might be thinking about doing a first as a member of the royal family. Don’t question it dear; just know that we love each other very much!”

From down the other side of the room, a loud *clicking* noise could be heard. Awkwardly, Fluttershy stumbled out of the doorway, locked it, and ran down the hall; eventually finding herself a place on the couch.

Panting, the exhausted girl settled herself, “Hah-hah-um… What have you two been talking about?”

“Just how much Twily loves you I guess?”

“Is that so?” Fluttershy said, flashing a grin and wink at her girlfriend. Swinging her legs playfully off the couch, Fluttershy waved a hand to get the attention of her new daughter.

“Scootaloo, I was just thinking about some stuff in my other room. I was thinking that if you’re going to be living with Twilight and I, that you could uh- call us ‘mommy’ or maybe ‘mom’? I-I dunno. It’s just a suggestion- you know? If you want to.”

The young girl started to giggle, “Hehe, I’ve never had a mommy before.” She said, crawling eagerly to Fluttershy’s side of the couch.

“Is that so?” Fluttershy said patting her lap. She waited for Scootaloo to crawl on to it, before helping her steady herself, “Didn’t Rainbow let you call her ‘Mommy’?”

“No, she thought it was too ‘girly’.” Scootaloo frowned.

Twilight smirked, “That sounds about right.”

Fluttershy got busy brushing her hands through her new daughter’s hair. It was weird; Scootaloo’s hair was so dirty, like it hadn’t been washed in a really long time.

“Well Scootaloo, you’re welcome to call us that if you really want to; I know it might take some time to warm up a bit in this cozy little cottage. I just wish I had a place for you to stay; my accommodations are pretty uh… ‘limited’.”

“Wadda you mean?” Scootaloo asked, subliminally biting the tip of her thumb.

“Well…” Fluttershy shifted her hands, to pat the girl’s back, “I’m kinda tight on space. See downstairs I have this living room, the kitchen/dining, the utility room, bathroom, uh- ‘special room’, and the veranda.”

“And?” Scootaloo asked, tiliting her head to the side before striking a curious glare at the stairs behind the couch.

Fluttershy swallowed hard. She wasn’t sure how she was going to deliver the news to the young girl. Taking a deep breath, Fluttershy smiled, “Upstairs, we have a bathroom, my room, a guest bedroom, and the nursery room I use to babysit in…”

Twilight raised her eye brow, “Well, what’s the problem?”

“Just fellow me…” Fluttershy said, picking up the child in her arms and walking towards the upstairs floor. All of a sudden, a bizarre yet familiar smell hit Fluttershy’s nose. It wasn’t terrible smelling, but it was defiantly off put.

Scootaloo awkwardly shifted a bit, nuzzling her head against Fluttershy’s shoulder.

Approaching the spare guest bedroom, Fluttershy opened the door. The room itself was bland. All that hung on the walls were a few temperate color paintings, on top of some dusty red walls. The floors were hard wood, the majority of the floor space being taken up by a king sized bed and a dresser.

Fluttershy looked at Twilight, “The problem with this room is it’s a bit… ‘underwhelming’. Don’t you think Scootaloo?”

“What’s that mean?” Scootaloo asked, looking around at the bland room.

“It means boring basically. You wouldn’t have much to do.”

“Ooh!” Scootaloo nodded. It was true; the room looked dreadfully dull.

Twilight walked towards the other remaining room, “So, what’s this room then?”

Giggling, the small girl shut the door, “That’s the bathroom silly!” She said stepping past it and her own bedroom, arriving at the mystery ‘nursery room’.

“Alright Scootaloo, I won’t pressure you to do this. But I think you’ll like this room, despite it being a bit ‘young’ for your age.”

Her words said, Fluttershy opened the mystery room’s door. Inside, the room was rather bright and vibrant despite the darkness outside.

The room’s overall design was made for a real baby. The walls covered from base to ceiling in a jungle based design of friendly looking African and Western animals. The floors were all covered in dark creamy brown shag carpeting.

The most surprising part was the furniture. Everything was made for a toddler and there was a lot of it. Slandered with any nursery of course was the dark brown crib and matching brown and white changing table.

Some of the more obscure things were the multicolored bits of entertainment that seemed to share the base infantilism with the rest of the room. There was a plastic white baby swing with a light pink cushioning and everything. Not to mention the baby walker and high chair which seemed to share the same animal design the room’s walls did.

On the far side of the nursery by the window. A large colorful foam-rubber play mat was sectioned off by a mesh playpen fence. Inside of the area was a large baby bouncer and a wide area of books and toys suitable for babies.

“Whadda you think?” Fluttershy asked curiously.

“I-I don’t…” The young girl said, looking up confused at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy frowned, “Do you not like it? I know you’re getting to be a big girl, but you’re small enough for most of it.”

Scootaloo shook her head, “I-It’s not that, w-what is all that stuff?”

Twilight’s eyes went wide, “What do you mean Scoots?”

“I-I haven’t ever seen stuff like that.” the small child said, blushing.

Smiling warmly, Fluttershy blushed her hand through the child’s hair, “I won’t lie to you Scootaloo, that room was designed for girls younger than you. But don’t worry; I know you’re a big girl on the inside.”

“C-can I play with it?” the girl asked, curiously, “Y-you won’t make fun of me will you? R-rainbow wouldn’t ever let me do things that were for babies. She said they’re ‘un-cool’ and other kids would make fun of me if I did them, even if I couldn’t help it!”

Twilight smirked, “You can play all you want in there Scootaloo. You’re just a little girl, afterall!”

The young girl’s frown slowly turned into a smile as she looked into Twilight’s eyes, “O-o.k! Thanks Twi-I mean, thanks Mommy!”

“Hehe, no problem. Now if you want, you could have some pizza downstairs? Are you hungry?”

Scootaloo nodded, tugging on Fluttershy’s shirt, “Can I? Can I?”

“Mmmhmm…” Fluttershy said, setting the child down. Smiling, she looked down at the child, “You know we got pizza down stairs. How bout’ you go it what’s left alright?” Fluttershy said, sending Scootaloo off with a small swat to her back.

Twilight raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure Scootaloo should- you know? Be playing with all that baby stuff? Won’t that kinda phase her?”

“I don’t think so, I had to play with my baby toy until I was eight or so too!” Fluttershy said, half paying attention to her friend and half making a mental note of food she’d need to buy from the grocery store. She didn’t really have much kid food, perhaps Scootaloo would be alright with juice and oatmeal for now.”

“Well, that explains a lot! Maybe you should just have her sleep with us until we get can redesign a more age appropriate room for her?” Twilight said as her and her girlfriend trailed down the stairs.

Walking over to the couch, Fluttershy noticed that Scootaloo had already scarfed down the pizza; messily at that.

“Awe Scootaloo.” She said, taking a seat next to the child, “You got stains all over your shirt and face. Wait, did you drop the pizza too?” she said, looking down at a red stain on the carpet.

Weakily making eye contact with her new mommy, Scootaloo started looking flustered. It was almost like she couldn’t help it, “I-I’m sorry, R-rainbow never cared if I- sorry!”

Giggling, Fluttershy gave the most sincere smile at her daughter, “It’s alright honey. Just toss it in the box; I can always get you something else to eat.”

Scootaloo nodded, still a bit embarrassed that she dropped her food. It was awful clumsy of her, more so than usual.

Fluttershy turned her attention to her girlfriend, and brought Scootaloo into her lap, “Mmm, Scootaloo. You know you’re awful small for five year old.”

“Four year old- I mean six year old! Also, am not!” the child interrupted, crossing her arms and pouting.

Glaring, Twilight looked at Scootaloo. The child was pretty small, her hands, feet, and everything. It was almost certainly a case of malnutrition, poor thing.

“Listen, if you haven’t noticed. Scootaloo could use some help keeping clean, her hair is a mess and she really smells odd despite looking decently clean. The only clothes we have that’ll fit her are baby clothes. Not to mention, she’s obviously lacking basic motor skills.”

The young child listened indignantly to her new mommy’s words on her. More flustered now than ever, she stood up and whimpered, “I’m not a baby!”

The timid mommy nodded her head, “I know Scootaloo. I guess I’m just being a little bit over protective. Bear with me, I do work with a lot of helpless animals and such.” She looked at her daughter; he knees were a bit shaky and she seemed to be fidgeting a lot.

A little light popped in Fluttershy’s head as she realized what it was, “Um, Scootaloo. Can I talk to you privately in your new room. Think it’d be best if we talk about some stuff.”

“Alright…”

With that, Fluttershy picked the child up in a cradle. Her arms provided a steady rocking motion that got Scootaloo to rest easy for a few seconds. She knew that her parents knew what she did, it made her blush.

“I’ll be back in ten minutes, alright Twilight? I gotta make sure Scootaloo has privacy while she does it. Actually, I outta just let her clean in the bathroom first. I'll be in the nursery if you need me“

“Gotcha! Be sure you find out what’s going on.”

The small women nodded at her friend before heading upstairs again. It was serial for her really. Scootaloo seemed clueless to what had happened, almost like she was used to it. That was scariest part of all.

“Well…” Twilight sang, clapping her hands together. It’d been a while since she’d been alone. She picked up the pizza box and all the other remaining stuff, making sure to return everything to wear it belongs.

Things felt weird now, everything felt weird. Here she was just an hour ago, trying to romance her girlfriend, and now they have a child to look after.

It wasn’t so terrible to her; she’d taken care of Fluttershy for so long. That’s not even to mention how long she took care of Spike. But Scootaloo, well she was a unique child. Just by looking at her, you can tell that she doesn’t look happy or healthy.

The girl face palmed herself, ‘Why hadn’t Rainbow Dash taken care of her? Why’d she even bother adopting a child out of pity? Rainbow knew she couldn’t be there for Scootaloo, why’d she even care?’

Dejected, Twilight plopped down on the couch. Scootaloo was Fluttershy and Hers responsibility now. No, she was their daughter. No matter what that child does from now on, it’s up to them to comfort and help her grow as much as possible.

After all, if she and Fluttershy do stay together, Scootaloo will be her heir.

The girl’s eyes opened wide, “Scootaloo is my heir” she said under her breath.

“I’ll be right outside if you need anything, Scootaloo!” A voice rang down the halls, before the sound of a door shutting.
Alarmed by the noise, Twilight jogged up stairs to talk to her friend. Her eyes met with Fluttershy’s confused expression.
“Twily, what are you doing?”

Twilight blushed, “Uh, I just wanted to see what’s up. Is Scootaloo alright? She is isn’t she?”

“Yeah she’s alright, just a bit flustered is all…” Fluttershy whispered, making sure not to speak too loudly, “She told me she was having some potty issues for a while now. Rainbow seemed to shrug off her accidents and her foster parents would just spank her.”

“Oh… how come she’s flustered? You didn’t put her in diapers did you?”

Fluttershy shook her head, “No, no, no! I gave her pair of trainer panties though. I figure if she can make it to the bathroom, she is just a bit ‘premature’ afterall. She’ll grow out of it.”

“That still doesn’t explain why she’s Flustered.”

The timid girl sighed, “Uh- just look for yourself…”

Curious to find out what was going on, Twilight walked to the nursery door and opened it. She mouth cracked a grin as she saw her daughter wearing a set of footie pajamas.

“Shut up!” the child said, covering her face.

“Awe Sweetie…” Twilight said, walking over to the girl, “There’s no need to feel embarrassed. I had worn blanket sleepers to bed until I was about was your age too.”

“But you’re an egg head.” She said pouting.

Twilight giggled, “Maybe so…” she said picking up Scootaloo, “But that doesn’t change the fact that it'll keep you all snug and warm. Come on, how about I get you something to drink before bed, alright?”

The child’s heated expression cooled down as her mother held her tight to her chest, “That sounds nice.”

“I thought you’d say so. I think Fluttershy might even have cookies or something…” Twilight said, walking out the room and looking at her girlfriend, “You do have cookies, don’t you?”

Fluttershy nodded, “They’re a little bit old, but yeah. Sorry. Remind me to grab Scootaloo some more appropriate food at the grocery store, alright?”

As Twilight carried Scootaloo to the couch area, Fluttershy busied herself with preparing a snack for Scootaloo. Honestly, this would probably just upset her stomach more, but it’s better than starving she guessed.

Her hand wrapped around the cold chrome fridge handle as she tugged the door open. She noticed a cold bottle of milk, or maybe it was formula. She grabbed it, taking it over to the counter space, where she poured it into a cup.

She closed her eyes, she really hopped Scootaloo was used to drinking from actual cups. She probably did, but she’d bet dollars to donuts if Scootaloo could actually hold the cup properly with her small hands.

Reluctantly, Fluttershy grabbed two cookies and walked over to the couch area. Her daughter still in the arms of her girlfriend, she handed Scootaloo one of the cookies.

“I hope you like them; they’re a little bit old. But I baked them a while back…”
