A collection of stories written by members of the Motherhood is Magical group. Some will be sweet and fluffy, some will contain material that is NSFW, most will likely be somewhere in between. If you enjoy motherly stories, you're in the right place.

(WARNING!: This fic has been tagged Mature as a precaution, as it may feature NSFW stories in the future! Most stories should be more PG-PG13 rated, and all NSFW stories will be designated as such ahead of time. If the possibility of NSFW is something you aren't comfortable with, click elsewhere and do not read. Reader discretion is advised and encouraged!)

Motherhood is one of the most magical aspects of life, and it's a fact that the citizens of Equestria know really well.

But no two tales of motherhood are the same, every pony that becomes a mother has to endure different challenges, and this ever growing collection of stories will chronicle some of those challenges. All NSFW stories will be designated as such for those wishing to avoid them in favor of SFW stories.

If you're interested in having a quick bite of ponies indulging in motherhood, look no further than this piece of fanfiction.

Tickle by SuperPinkBrony12

                “You can’t catch me!” Surprise giggled, as the pegasus filly flew along the ceiling of her home, trying to evade her mother, Pinkie Pie.

                Pinkie Pie wasn’t too far behind, and surprisingly enough, she didn’t seem at all out of breath. She just continued to chase after her daughter, all the while saying “I can, and I will! You can’t get away from the tickle monster forever!”

                “No tickle monster! Me run away from tickle monster!” Surprise replied, flying ever faster.

                 “Well, one thing’s for certain,” Pinkie Pie thought to herself, as she chased her daughter all the around the house “She certainly inherited my energy. But she can’t match my special skills!”

                 Surprise rounded a bend, convinced that she had lost her mother, and that the chase was over. Breathing a sigh of relief, she let down her guard, and began to descend. Her father wouldn’t be home for a little while still, but he’d made it clear in no uncertain terms that he didn’t like his little filly flying all over the place. A line of argument that her mother had enforced quite heavily.

                  But, just when Surprise thought she was safe, who should pop up from a nearby jar but her mother?

                   “I got you now!” Pinkie Pie shouted playfully, as she grabbed her daughter by the tail and held on for dear life.

                   Surprise tried her hardest to flap her wings, and take off, but alas she had spent all her energy trying to get away earlier. She had no energy left to fly again, at least for right now. “Of all the times for my mother’s energy to fail me, it had to be this time!” she thought to herself, as she was finally brought down to the ground.

                   “Well, it looks like you’ve been a very naughty filly!” Pinkie Pie said to Surprise, as mother and daughter eyed each other “And you know who comes to visit naughty fillies like you?”

                    “Mommy, please, have mercy!” Surprise pleaded.

                    “Too late, here comes the tickle monster!” Pinkie Pie giggled, and began to relentlessly tickle her daughter’s hooves.

                    Surprise tried her best to resist, but she was unable to keep herself from bursting into fits of laughter “No fair! You cheated!” she said, in between laughs.

                    “All’s fair in love, war, and tickle games!” Pinkie Pie replied, as she rolled her daughter onto her stomach, and blew raspberries onto her tummy.

                    “Stop it, please! I’ll do anything, anything!” Surprise pleaded, as she laughed herself silly.

                    “Not until you promise to stop flying inside the house, young filly,” Pinkie Pie said seriously “Your daddy and I care about you very much, and we don’t want you to get hurt. Not to mention, we’re getting pretty tired of cleaning the hoofprints from our ceilings.”

                    “But I love flying, it’s so good! It makes me feel free!” Surprise replied.

                    “You can fly all you want outside the house, as long as me, your daddy, or somepony we trust is there to watch you,” Pinkie Pie told her daughter, as she finally eased up on the tickling “Okie dokie lokie?”

                    Surprise sighed “Okie dokie lokie.” she said, admitting defeat.

                    “Good. Now then, you know what I wanna hear!” Pinkie Pie said with a grin.

                    Reluctantly, Surprise looked her mother in the eye and said “I Surprise Swiss Pie ‘Pinkie Promise’ not to fly inside the house at all, and not fly outside the house without a trusted adult to watch me. Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”

Comfort by Matt11

                School started off like normal for the fillies and colts of the Ponyville schoolhouse. However, today was a special day for the younger ponies; it was bring your father to school day and  everypony was enjoying their time with at least one of their family members.

                Diamond Tiara was with her father, the rich brat always bragged about how rich her father was. She examined the schoolyard to see that one pony didn’t bring their father, Scootaloo.

               Diamond Tiara wanted to brag about how loving her father was, and she normally would have said something to Apple Bloom. Unfortunately Apple Bloom wasn’t at school today, so Diamond Tiara would just have to make do with Scootaloo.

                "I'll be back ,Daddy. I just want to talk with a…. friend," Diamond Tiara said with a grin. The thought of making Scootaloo cry in front of the whole school came to her mind, but she brushed it off. Scootaloo never seemed to talk about her father, or even her mother, so what difference would it make if somepony else talked about how amazing their father was? She walked over to Scootaloo, who was sitting all by herself on a swing. It was one of the more quiet areas of the school, and it made it easy for her to think less of not having a father. Truth be told, she wasn’t completely bothered by the fact, but all the same she missed having somepony to talk to at home, besides her mom.

                Diamond Tiara sat on the swing to the left of Scootaloo, “So, how does it feel blank flank? You know, not having a father here to love you. I’ll bet your Daddy’s happy to be gone,” she said coldly.

                That got Scootaloo’s attention real fast, out of all the times she'd been bullied by that rich brat Diamond had never brought up her father. Her father died protecting the country for Celestia, and for her, and now Tiara was just spitting on his grave?!

                 "Take that back," Scootaloo said getting defensive. She was not about to let the pony who had loved her so dearly be insulted like that. "He loved me, he took care of me a lot as a foal! At least my dad was there for me, unlike yours!" Scootaloo said with more than a bit of rage.

                  That last part got Diamond Tiara angry, Scootaloo had no right to say such a thing “My Daddy’s always there for me! He's here today, where is yours?! Is he away on business or maybe he's off on some vacation?! Oh wai,t don’t answer that, he's DEAD!” she replied, this time it caused Scootaloo to tear up a little.

                  Scootaloo didn’t know what else to do. If she punched Diamond Tiara she would get scolded and put in detention. But if she stayed, Diamond Tiara would just keep taunting her, trying to make her cry; she wasn’t about to to let that happen. Instead of fighting back, she took off and ran back home, looking to get the comfort only her mother could provide.

                   Dizzy Twister was putting away some dishes and trying to finish cleaning her house, so she was alarmed when she heard the door to the front open suddenly. “Scootaloo? Is that you?” she asked  walking out to the living room. Her daughter stood there, tears in her eyes, “What's wrong, baby?”

                    Scootaloo tackled her mother into a hug. “It was terrible, Diamond Tiara made fun of me!” she said, fresh tears dripping on her mother's chest.

                    Dizzy could see that her daughter didn’t have a good day, so she took her upstairs into her room. She gently rubbed Scootaloo’s back once she got into her bed. “What did she say?” Dizzy Twister asked as her daughter sniffed softly.

                    Scootaloo raised her head and told her everything that happened. After she finished, Scootaloo looked up at her mother innocently. “Did Dad love me, Mom?” she asked. She wasn’t sure if Diamond Tiara’s taunting finally getting to her, or if she truly believed that he never loved her. Then, another question bobbled in her head, “Do...do you love me... Mommy?”

                    Dizzy Twister gave scootaloo a big hug, and kissed her on the check. “Of course Mommy loves you sweetheart, she always will. And Daddy loved you too. Nothing will ever change how I feel about you. You will always be my little angel,” she said as the two snuggled with each other.

                    Dizzy Twister knew something would have to change. She made a mental note to pay a visit to Filthy’s place after comforting her daughter, in order to change Tiara’s bullying ways; but that could wait. Right now she had a daughter that she needed to comfort. She continued kissing Scootaloo on the tummy, and as she did Scootaloo giggled sweetly.

                    Seeing as she was able to brighten Scootaloo’s mood, Dizzy Twister started humming a tune into her daughter's ear. Once Dizzy Twister finished she could hear a soft sigh coming from her daughter; it was a good sign. She kissed her daughter on the cheek. “Don’t ever listen to what those bullies say, little filly. No matter what happens, your Mommy and your Daddy will always love you.” she whispered.

Punishment by dsylexic foal

                As Twilight Velvet walked home from the store, she couldn't help but worry about her son. Shining Armor was a sweet kind of colt, but lately he hadn't been following any house rules. This was very concerning for Velvet, especially with her young filly, Twilight Sparkle, watching her brother’s every action.

                "Shining, Twilight? I'm home!" Velvet called, as she walked through the door and set her bags on the counter.

                 Walking into the hall, she saw Shining Armor furiously scrubbing a wall that was covered in crayon.

                 "Well," spoke Velvet, startling her son, "Coloring on the walls now, Shining?"

                 "It wasn't me!" Shining Armor started, "Twily wanted to decorate the walls like a coliseum! I told her no, but she did it anyway!"

                  "Really?" Velvet replied skeptically before sighing, "Shining, she's only 2, practically still a newborn foal . You need to stop trying to use her as a cover."

                  Shining looked at his mother, mouth agape, "Y-you love her m-more than me!"

                  "Shining!" Velvet gasped, "Where in Equestria did you get that idea?"

                   "Because you always let Twilight get away with everything! It's always my fault!"

                   Twilight then entered the hall, a cookie in her grasp and an angry expression on her face as she realized what her brother was doing.

                   "Mommy!" Twilight exclaimed, frowning, "Shiny's erasing my painting! Send him to his room!"

                   Twilight Velvet turned and looked at her daughter in shock, "Twilight?! You did this?!"

                   "Yes!" Twilight replied proudly, taking a bite out of her cookie.

                   "Twilight, no cookies before dinner, you know this!" Twilight Velvet scolded

                   Twilight finished off the cookie, "But I'm your little princess, so I can do whatever I want!"

                   At that moment Twilight Velvet realized that she was doing something that she swore she would never do. Not punishing the baby of the family because she was the baby. Thus having the elder take all the blame. In this case, Shining Armor.

                  "Twilight Star Sparkle!" Velvet spoke with such authority Twilight shrunk in on herself, "I think it’ s time for your first punishment!"

                  Shining gasped, and looked up. "Really?!" he exclaimed.

                  "Yes, really." Velvet affirmed.

                  "B-but I'm not bad!" Twilight whimpered, her eyes growing large.

                  "Indeed you're not," Velvet said, and bent down to the height of the filly, "But walls are not for painting, and cookies are for after dinner! Go to you're room, Twilight, I will come and get you when I feel you've learned your lesson!"

                   "But, don't you love me anymore?" Twilight asked, her big lavender eyes starings saddly at her mother.

                   "More than you'll ever know, my little filly," Velvet replied "That's why I'm doing this."

                    "No fair." Twilight said, and trotted up the stairs in defeat.

                    Shining Armor was shocked and speechless on what just happened. Did his mother really just punish Twilight? She was the favorite one!

                    "Thank you honey for cleaning this mess up but I'll take it from here. Why don't you go and play with your action figures, okay?" Twilight Velvet suggested.

                     "Okay."  Shining Armor replied, his state of shock not fading as he quickly trotted out of the hall. As he left, one thought flowed through his mind. "Did I end up in an alternate dimension?"

Preschool by SuperPinkBrony12

                 Solar Flare gazed nervously upon the bricked building that stood before him. Its red brick exterior, coupled with its forest green roof, and sky blue front door seemed inviting. But the red haired toddler knew that looks could be deceiving.

                 He looked up at his mother with his brown eyes, his chubby little yellow hand refusing to let go.

                 Sunset Shimmer looked down at her son, and just smiled "There’s no reason to be nervous, sweetie. It’s your new preschool, and everyone is waiting for you." she told him, ruffling his hair a bit.

                 "But what if the teacher yells at me? What if no one wants to be my friend? What if I get lost? What if there’s no bathroom?" Solar Flare asked.

                 "You remind me a lot of myself when I was your age," Sunset Shimmer replied with a motherly smile "I felt much the same way you did when I first attended preschool. Granted, my preschool was a lot different from yours, but I still had a lot of the same worries."

                 "So then, what am I supposed to do?" Solar Flare said, as his mother led him towards the door. Class would be starting in a matter of minutes.

                 "Just be yourself, and try not to worry," Sunset Shimmer chuckled "I doubt the teacher will yell at you, unless you do something really dangerous. And I’m pretty sure they had a bathroom the last time I checked. As for getting lost and making friends, don’t worry about those either. The staff at ‘Sunny Days Preschool’ will be there to help you find your way, and I’m sure you’ll find that many students in your class are just as nervous as you are."

                 "You’ll always be there for me though, won’t you?" Solar Flare asked, as mother and son entered the building. Being the only child of a single mother (Sunset Shimmer didn’t like to talk about her husband very much) he had developed a very tight bond with the major parental figure in his life. Even when he was being babysat by one of her friends, he missed her very much, and always looked forward to when she would return home.

                 "Of course I will be, Solar Flare," Sunset Shimmer promised "From the day you were born, I have always tried my best to be the mother you need. And although I may not always be around to play with you or talk to you, I’ll always be there for you when you need it most."

                 Solar Flare felt his woes disappear as soon as his mom said that, now he couldn’t wait for his first day of preschool.

                 Upon entering the classroom and taking his seat, Solar Flare looked all around the room. Like his mother had said, many of the kids seemed to be rather worried, although some did a better job of hiding it than others.

                 Just then, a voice called out to Solar Flare "Hey, I think I’ve seen you before somewhere!"

                 Solar Flare spun around, and saw a light blue skinned girl that was roughly the same age as him. Her hair was navy blue, with streaks of green and purple running through it, and it was styled into a ponytail. What really attracted Solar Flare’s attention though, was her green eyes.

                 "My name’s Speed Bump," the girl spoke up "What’s your name?"

Graduation by GlacePen

                “Ooh, I’m so excited Glace, our little girls are going to be graduating today!” Candy Pop exclaimed.

                “I know, but they aren’t so little anymore.” Glace sighed

                ”I know, but just seeing them grow up and now graduate high school like we did, is amazing.” Candy Pop put a hoof around her partner in life.

               "We did a great job, Candy.” Glace said, and leaned in to kiss Candy.

                “Mooom, Daaaad stop it.” Emerald said, annoyed at her parents affection at each other. Candy and Glace just giggled.

                The ceremony began, and the whole family saw Taika and Kiasu walk up the podium.

                “I remember when those two were my little muffins, Taika was always so energetic and loved to play. And Kiasu was a bookworm, she always tried to do her best.” Glace sighed and then smiled.

                “Remember the pie incident?” Candy asked, and looked at Glace with a smirk

                 “Oh, how can I forget the pie incident? Taika thought she could get a job working at Sugarcube Corner, because Kiasu had a job at the library.” Glace replied.

                 “And then she messed up a pie and it exploded!” Candy added and she and Glace both started laughing quietly.

                 “But when your mom died, Kiasu was devastated. She loved learning about Mexicolt cultures and traditions. She felt so happy. But when your mom died no book in Equestria could help her.” Glace went on, a look of sadness appearing on his face.

                  “Yeah, she had to cope with it. It wasn't easy, but eventually, she managed to move on.” Candy replied.

                  “There was also the time when Taika was hurt bad,” Glace remembered  “We thought she would never walk normally again, let alone run.”

                  “But she was lucky, that wasn’t the case,” Candy added “And she can still do the stuff she loves.” And she and Glace both sighed.

                   “It was fun raising Taika and Kiasu, but it’s time for them to be set free and move on.” Glace said, a look of sadness in his eyes.

                   “Ooh! I hope they’ll visit us from time to time!” Candy said hopefully.

                   “They will Candy, they will.” Glace said, as he wing hugged Candy.

Cuddle by dsylexic foal

                Rarity, having a long stressful day of work, didn't want to do anything more than lay down and cry. She was overdue with all her orders and everyone was complaining about her lateness. All she wanted to do now was have a nice romantic evening with her wife, Fluttershy.

                 “Okay darling, I'm ready.” Rarity called, dressed in nothing more than silky sapphire blue lingerie.

                 “Are you sure this will help?” Fluttershy asked skeptically, rubbing her hands together

                 “Of course, why wouldn't it?” Rarity said, as she stalked towards Fluttershy with a hungry look in her eyes.

                 “Because you look like you're about to murder me!” Fluttershy replied, shrinking into her hair.

                 Bursting into tears, Rarity collapsed onto her wife. “Oh Fluttershy! I can't take it anymore! My orders are backed up, my parents have gotten worse, and now the car broke down! Everything's just horrible!"

                 Fluttershy stroked her wife's hair, while whispering words of comfort into her ears. Somehow, they'd get through this.

                 Just then, the door slowly creaked open, revealing Emerald, the couple's toddler son. Fluttershy (thinking quickly) wrapped Rarity in a blanket to shield the young boy from his mother's revealing outfit.

                “Why is Mommy crying?” Emerald asked, rubbing his teal eyes, his pink and purple striped hair sticking up like a little halo.

                "Because I'm a horrible person, that’s why!" Rarity said, and leaned tighter into Fluttershy's embrace as she continued to cry.

                 Emerald shuffled over, and with great effort, climbed on the bed. Wrapping his little arms around his younger mother's neck, he gave her a kiss on the cheek.

                  "Its okay, Mommy," Emerald said sweetly, as he mimicked the way his mother comforted him whenever he had a bad dream, "It'll be okay."

                  Rarity sniffled, a wavering yet proud smile forming on her face, "Whatever did I do to get such a caring son like you, my little gem?"

                  Fluttershy shifted and wrapped her arms around the joys of her life. They sat in silence as Rarity's sniffles slowed before ceasing.

                  "How would you like to sleep with us tonight?" Rarity asked, as the little boy struggled to stay awake.

                  Emerald freed himself from the three way hug and climbed off the bed, "Okay, let me get Starry!" He set off to get the star covered plush cat.

                  "This," Rarity looked towards Fluttershy, a content expression overtaking her features, "Was a much better way to relax."

                  “Yes it was my love." Fluttershy smiled as their son rejoined them, climbing into their bed.
