Epilogue: 7 years later

Many years had passed since that day, and Rumble moved in with Scootaloo. As he sat in the backyard, he glanced at the ring around his hoof. About four years ago, he had asked her to marry him, to which she overjoyously said yes. It was one of the biggest weddings Ponyville had known. Yet it couldn't beat the passion the wedding night and honeymoon had brought. Rumble's head lifted at the sound of giggling. Yet it wasn't Scootaloo's giggling, or even an adult mare's for that matter. The giggling came from a little filly running to her father.

She had the same eyes as her parents, the coat color of Rumble and a slightly darker colored mane than her mother's. While giggling, she hid behind her father's leg, peeking to the back door of the house.

"What's the matter, sweetie?", Rumble asked with a smile and a slight chuckle to his daughter. She would usually challenge her parents for a playful fight, but would usually lose by a well-placed raspberry.

Lightning Spark looked up at the stallion she was hiding behind, still giggling. "Mama said she was gonna eat me!"

"Oh?"

They both watched at the backdoor as a certain orange mare came walking out, carrying an apple in her mouth. Her mane was tied up, and from her sides, they could clearly saw that her stomach was incredibly bloated. Smiling brightly, she walked up to the two and nuzzled Rumble's cheek lovingly, sitting down in front of him. This allowed Rumble the chance to wrap his hooves around the bulging stomach while he chuckled.

"The little one making you hungry again? You were threatening our daughter that you'd eat her!"

Scootaloo giggled. "Oh please, I wouldn't have room for that." She kissed Spark's head and nuzzled it. "I don't have room for two little treasures!"

Spark fixed her mane, walked to the front of Scootaloo's belly and hugged it, giggling all the while. "When am I gonna see baby bro, mama?"

Scootaloo softly stroked her mane. "Soon, little spark. Really really soon."

The little filly nuzzled the stomach holding her growing baby brother. She quickly flung her head back when she felt a thud coming from inside, meaning that the foal had kicked quite hard, which made both parents laugh as Spark rubbed her nose, laughing along.

"I think he's getting impatient.", Rumble spoke while stroking Scootaloo's belly.

"Like his father, you mean?", she replied teasingly.

"Hey, I couldn't help it. You said you weren't sure of being pregnant and refused taking a test at first. And yes, the last two months I got really excited about meeting our little filly. You made me impatient!", he answered while laughing.

"I do remember how excited you were, yeah..." Scootaloo's gaze went to her bulging stomach again, resting a hoof on it. Pride filled her mind when she felt the little foal's hoof kick against hers. When she got pregnant, she was nervous and uncertain about motherhood. Rumble had proposed to go follow parenthood classes, which they did. And now, Scootaloo was having a second child.

"Well, like you said. We got ourselves a little treasure!" Rumble ran his hooves through Spark's mane, messing it up while she giggled, followed by a yawn.

"Tired, sweetie?", Scootaloo asked as she picked the little filly up and began cradling her in her arms.

"Nuh-uh..." Another yawn followed and Spark snuggled close against her mother, falling asleep.

Rumble took the filly over. "Seems like somepony needs a nap, hm?"

Silently, Scootaloo giggled. "Yeah. She can sleep on the couch for now."

Rumble nodded and walked inside again while Scootaloo stayed outside, looking at and stroking her stomach, receiving kicks from her soon-to-be-born colt.

"Yeah honey, mommy loves you too. Mommy loves you too..."

After a giggle and a yawn, Scootaloo chose to lay down in the grass for a little nap in the sun. When Rumble walked outside again, he took a rest next to her, cuddled up against his wife. Before he fell asleep, he whispered four words to Scootaloo.

"Daddy loves you too."
