The incredible life of Arcane Sparkle

Twilight and Arcane were now in Barnyard Bargains getting baby supplies, with a shopping cart full of items. More pacifiers, and clothes. She also got a better crib and playpen, baby powder, and wipes. Arcane was busy chewing on his pacifier and bouncing his feet around in the seat of the shopping cart he liked playing with the boxes behind him.

"You're very curious aren't you?" Twilight asked. She was pushing around the animal food area. "I need to get more pellets for Owlicious, he's my pet owl. I think you'll like him."

"Hmm?" Arcane hummed.

"Close it's, who. Owl's say who."

"Oh hi Twilight." Twilight looked around to find Fluttershy shopping in the animal section as well. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm doing some shopping as well." She replied.

"What's with all the baby stuff?"

"Okay Fluttershy, what I'm about to tell you is secret, can you promise me not to tell anyone until I'm ready to say so?" Fluttershy then did the Pinkie promise motions. "I'm shopping for baby things because I recently adopted a child."

"Really? How recent?"

"Today."

"Don't you think that was a little fast to just adopt a child on the spot?"

"Yes, but the doctors think that he imprinted on me or something like that. Plus he's really cute, he may look a little different but he deserves a home."

"I think that's very kind of you Twilight."

"Really?"

"Yes, I think that the stress of being a princess was coming down on you a bit, a child is a perfect way to help relieve some of that stress, it may also case some more stress as well but just be aware of that. There is a saying that my mom taught me when I was younger and getting ready to start my own life."

"I am aware, but what was that saying?"

"You can't sleep like a baby with a baby."

"Noted, thanks Fluttershy."

"Can I see him?"

"You are standing in front of him. It's more like can he see you."

"Oh well, hi there little guy." Fluttershy said we she saw Arcane. "What's his name?"

"I named him Arcane Cosmos Sparkle, or Cane for short."

"Aww he's so cute. Can I hold him?"

"Sure, wanna go uppy Cane?" The little boy bounced in joy as soon as those words were spoken. He held his arms up towards Twilight as she picked him up. "Cane this is Auntie Shy-Shy, can you say hi to your auntie?" Cane leaned over to Fluttershy to hug her, and she hugged him. Fluttershy took him into her arms and Cane started to giggle.

"Oh, I'm thinking of calling you a little monkey, you look so much like a monkey."

"He does doesn't he?"

Arcane then yawned and started to blink lazily, Twilight was handed back her new son and she said. "I better finish up shopping, then I can get his crib set up and put him to sleep."

"Take care Twilight, bye bye Cane."

Twilight finished shopping and brought her items home to Crystal Oaks Library, she didn't like it to be a palace so she asked Princess Celestia to shrink it down into a functioning library. When she was asked why she said that it didn't feel like a comforting home to her, and thus the princess proceeded with the spell. Just because she was a princess didn't mean she had to accept being one. She asked the princess and she said she would reverse the spell that made her an alicorn whenever she felt like it was getting too much, she wasn't immortal like Celestia or Luna either. That's due to the fact that they can't magically lengthen a ponies natural age, Cadence will have roughly the same lifespan as she normally would just a few years added at the most.

"Spike, I'm back."

Spike had really grown over the past month, he recently hit puberty. That was causing problems for him since the house shrunk down, he had his own room now. Then he started growing and needed a new bed, eventually Princess Celestia had to buy him his own plot of land with a huge cave. He was a trooper though, he came into work every morning as the librarians assistant. In doing so it caused a gap in Twilight's heart that she wanted to fill, probably why she adopted Cane so fast.

"What took you so long?" Spike asked while coming down the stairs. He saw all the baby things. "Twilight you know I like you like sister right?"

"It's not for you Spike it's for.......well.....him." She pointed out Cane sleeping in a recently assembled playpen. Spike walked over and looked at 'him'.

"What is it?"

"He's not an it, it's he and his name is Arcane, or Cane your new nephew."

"I have some concerns though."

"Like?"

"How fast you adopted him."

"I hatched you and my parents adopted you into my family just as fast."

"Good point."

"Thank you, now could you help me finish building and setting up his room?"

"Where is his room going to be?"

"I hope you don't mind if I use your old one."

"It's your house. I've got my drake-cave."

"Why do you insist on calling it that?"

"My house, my rules"

They finished setting up everything in Cane's new room and that's when he started to cry. Twilight picked him up and felt his diaper, he was wet. "Come on let's get you changed." She said while sitting him down on the changing table. She unbuttoned his onesie, and took off his diaper wiping his butt with a baby wipe and putting talcum powder over his nether regions, and finally strapping a new diaper up and buttoning his onesie once again.

He was still crying a bit. He's hungry. I better get used to doing it now. She unbuttoned her shirt a bit and undid her bra. Holding him up to her breast he started to nurse. It feels odd but somehow natural, having another life to use you like a food source. Mares do have the means to feed foals and Cane is no exception. Minutes passed and Cane stopped nursing, Twilight redid her bra, buttoned up her shirt, and placed a rag over her shoulder and burped him. He spit up a little of the breast milk but Twilight wiped the remnants off his mouth and put a pacifier for him to suckle on.

"Twi, I finished unpacking the new books and organizing them. I'm going home now."

"Thanks Spike, please don't tell anyone about Arcane."

Spike made the pinkie promise motions. "You got it Twi."
