Fight Till The End
A note, the accident, and father and son
Previous ChapterNext ChapterYou know, waking up to the memories that I have forgotten from long past time have come back just to fuck with my emotions. I wake up with a startle from the memory I was having just now. I feel my shirt is matted down onto my chest and I feel sweat all over my body. I close my eyes and I breathe in a shakey breath. I exhale the air I was holding, I look down at the two little ones that are sleeping soundly next to me, and I smile as I scratch softly behind their ears which in reply I get a smile an a soft purr. I silently chuckle at how cute both of them are. I slowly get off the bed as I carefully and skillfully get off with out disturbing them.
I go to the window and I open it, a soft breeze of cold air hit me. I sigh as I look out over the sun rising behind the hills. I give a longing look as I sigh once more, "How did I forget about you baby sister" I say to myself as tear runs down my cheek. I shake my head as I wipe my tear away. I might need to talk to Twilight and ask about if Princesses know anything about sending me back to my home, but then it hits as I just realized that I have a young colt with me. Who gonna take care of him if I leave? Can the ghost of his mother take care of him? Can I maybe take him with me if they find a way back home for me? What would mom or dad do in this situation? I shake my head and I walk over back to the bed.
I run my fingers through Scootaloo's mane and scratch her head lightly. "Hey kiddo wake up, you gotta wake up for school" I say as softly as possible to her. She groans and lifts the blanket over her head, "Nooo, five more minutes." I shake my head, "Now c'mon, you gotta get up already or else I'll have to force you to get up" I say with a smirk on my face. Scootaloo groans out again and shuffles abit under the covers. I chuckle as she reminds me a bit of my sister when I use to wake her up for school. "Ooook then you brought this upon yourself. Here comes the tickle monster!" I take off the covers and I start to tickle her. Immediately she feels my tickling wraith, she bursts out in laughter and tries to get away from as she kicks her legs out and squirms around.
"No no s-stop Andrew, I-I'm gonna pee, please s-stop" she says in between her laughs. I chuckle and I stop my tickling frenzy. The orange little pegasus lays on the bed sprawled out as she breathes in gulps of air. She then turns to look at me with a pout. "I was gonna get up ya know" she says as she rubs her eye and smiles tiredly at me. I shake my head side to side and I smile right back at her. "Sure you were kiddo." I look towards Midnight and see he's finally waking up, I reach over Scootaloo, and I grab him hold of him as I hold him in my arms securely. The last little colt stretches his body out and also his wings as he gives them a few flaps and folds them back in place. He rubs his eyes and looks up at me, he instantly recognizes me and smiles up me with a toothy smile. "Good morning sleepy head" I say as I nuzzle his face. Like always, he grabs a hold of my face and nuzzles me back, "Papa" he says as he giggles and plays and pulls on my hair. "Ow ow ow, ok mijo (son) let go that hurts" I try prying his little hands off but the little batpony pulls harder and giggles. "Ok ok mercy" he squeals as he lets go of my hair and grabs my face again and nuzzles me as he laughs.
I smile warmly at him as I run my firngers through his white mane. I turn to look at Scootaloo and see her watching us with a sadden smile. I smile at her as I walk up to her and bring her into a hug. She instanlty wraps her arms around me and nuzzles into my shoulder. I rub her back to comfort her as she happily sighs. "Hey Andrew, can I ride on your shoulders on the way to school" she asks as she looks up to me with puppy dog eyes and with a pouty trembling lip. I nod my head, "Sure why not" I say as I shrug my shoulders. The filly pumps her fist in the air as she lets out a silent cheer. 'She reminds me so much of my sister' I say to myself mentally. My smile soon vanishes and replaced by a sadden look. 'Only if my sister could be here.' Scootaloo looks at me with a concerned look as she tugs on my shirt to get my attention.
"Hey, what's the matter?" She asks with concern in her voice. I look down at her and my smiles comes back, "oh it's nothing to worry about Scoots" I say as I ruffle her mane which I get a giggle in reply. "Now get ready and go downstairs so you can get breakfast ok." She nods her head and zooms into the restroom to clean up. I sigh as I get up off the bed and grab Midnight, I look down at him, and he looks up at me. "You know kiddo, I need to read about your species cause I know nothing about a batpony" I say as I chuckle which just makes Midnight tilt his his head sideways.
'I should go to Twilights castle and see if she has any books about batponies' I say to myself. I walk towards the door to open by stop as I see a folded paper on the desk. Curiosity gets the best of me as I walk up to the desk and I over the folded paper. I sit Midnight on the desk and let him draw on some papers that are desk. I unfold the paper and see lettering on it, so what do I do? I read it of course.
Dear Andrew,
I've wanted to thank you again for saving me back there in alley from stopping those thugs from getting at me. You could say your my 'special' hero for saving me, but the reason why I left this letter for you is because I want to see you again, well I did see when you were sleeping. But the point is I want to see you again and maybe get to know eachother. I mean if you don't want to that's fine, but if you do then I'll be coming to see you tonight.
With much love,
Night Wing
I finish reading the letter and I set it down. I start to have a mental break down because I forgot who this chick was. My eye twitches because of me forgetting things as usual, I even sometimes forgot about Midbight but lately that hasn't been happening. Thank god. 'What the hell am I gonna do when she comes back? Maybe I'll remember who she is when I get a good look at her? Her name does seem familiar to me.' My thoughts get interrupted from a knock at the door. "Come in" I say to the pony behind the door. The door opens in comes AJ with a smile on her face. "Howdy sugar cube, just wanted to let you know that breakfast is ready and that onece were done eating will be heading out in the fields to buck some trees" she say in her ol fashion southern accent.
"Alright sounds good to me, and I'll be down there once I'm all ready to go. I'll be down there in a bit.
Oh and I'll be taking Scootaloo to school, if you want I can take AB as well" I say. AJ nods her head in approval, "That'll be alright with me, just watch carefully over my sis ya hear" she says as giving a stern glare. I put my hands up as in a 'don't worry' way. "Relax AJ, she'll be under my well trained supervision and well care, so there's nothing to worry about" I say with a smile. She smiles back and nods her and walks out of the room.
Scootaloo comes out of the restroom all refreshed and ready to go. ''Hey Scoot, breakfast is ready, and tell AJ I'll be just eating a apple for breakfast.'' She nods her head in reply and walks out of the room and down the stairs. I hear some soft wing beats coming from behind me, so I turn around and see Midnight flying around the room! How does this kid learn so fast? I seriously need to go to Twilights castle and get a book and maybe ask a few questions. I look on with my mouth wide open as Midnight flies around, but I get out of my shocked feeling as I see Midnight flying straight towards the open I left open. ''Midnight, no!'' I yell which gets Midnight wings to lock up and he looks back at me with a scared look. Instinct kicks in as time slows down, I run towards the open window which seems like I'm going fast even though it feels like everything has slowed down. I dive out the window an catch Midnight in my out stretched arms and bring close to my chest and secure close to me. In the momentum of falling I turn over on my back and plummet down to the ground. I fall to the ground and land pretty hard as all the air leaves me. I try to suck in some air but it's a struggle. I look down at Midnight who's tucked in my arms. The poor kid is shaking out of fear as he clings to my shirt tightly.
I try to get up but I fall right back down as I let out grown of pain. I look towards my right leg and see that it's in a weird angle that it's not suppose to be in, or either it's dislocated. I look up as I see the Apple Family and Scootaloo running out.
"Andrew! Are you alright sugar cube? We just saw fall down from the house" she says with panic in her voice and then she looks towards my leg and gasps. She looks towards her older sister, "Macareina, come help pick up Andrew" she says as she waves her over. I shake my head, "Na na it's ok girls I'm fine" I shake my hand at them. I hold Midnight carefully with my right arm and I attempt to get with my left arm, as I do that I put to much pressure on my leg and I hear a crack and I yell out in pain. I fall back down on my ass. "Papa" I hear Midnight say and I look down at him and see tears ready to spill out of his eyes. The pain soon all goes away as I look my son. I smile and scratch behind his ear to comfort him. "Don't worry mijo, (son) I'm ok" I say as I ruffle his white mane. He flashes a small smile, but quickly vanishes and he nuzzles into my chest. "Sowwy Papa."
I feel pain in my heart as I see him looking so sad. So I hug him close and rub his back. "It's ok it's ok" I say to him. I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I look up and see Macareina looking down at me with a smile. "C'mon on partner, we gotta get you to the hospital" she says with care in her voice. I look toward Scootaloo which she seems to be looking at me with a concerned look. I wave her over and I put my hand on her shoulder. "Hey, you mind watching Midnight for me" I say with a soft voice. She simply nods her head and smiles. "Are you going to be ok Andrew?"
"I'll be fine kiddo, don't worry alright" I say as I ruffle her mane. I hand her Midnight which she hold on to him carefully and he latches onto her. I look up at AJ and Macareina and smile, "Alright girls, I'm ready." I stretch out my arms towards them. They nod their heads and grab my hands to lift me up. I get up with my good leg and I fold my broken or dislocated leg. I wrap my arms around their shoulders and I grunt a little from the pain of folding my leg. They walk me down the dirt road where rows and rows apple trees are. ''So partner, why did ya'll fall out of the house with your youngin in your arms?'' Macareina asks as she looks an emotionless face.
''The kid was flying around the room and started flying out the window. When I saw that I yelled out his name pretty loud which spooked him and his wings locked and started to fall, so I quickly dived out the window and caught him and that's about it'' I look down with shame painted on my face. ''I should have kept a closer eye on him.....'' I sigh as I shake my head side to side. ''what a wonderful father I am'' I say with sarcasm in my voice.
''Hey now sugar cube, don't be putting yourself so down so much like that. Mistakes happen. Always learn from them and Andrew.....'' I look up to AJ as she pats my shoulder. ''I can tell your a great father. How can I tell? Because I always see that boy smiling when he's with you. I don't know what you do to make that boy so happy but it works. I'm sure he loves you very much and I know you love him very much'' she says with a warming smile. Her smile seems so contagious which gets me smiling also. ''Thanks AJ.'' She nods her head and looks forward.
We get to the hospital and walk inside. I look around and see that the lobby is empty, well except for the mare that's behind the counter. The girls walk me towards the counter and stop right in front of it. ''Excuse me ma'am'' Macareina speaks up which gets the nurses attention and looks towards us, but seems to be looking at me. ''We have friend of ours that has a bro-.....'' the nurse puts up her hand to stop her and smiles. ''Don't worry, I know what's wrong.'' She gets up and begins to walk down the hall. ''Follow me please'' she says with a smile.
The girls follow the mare and walk into a room that the mare went into. "Please lay him down gentle onto the bed" she instructs. The girls then lay me gently on the bed, but I hiss in pain as my leg hits the side of the bed I tired to lift it up. AJ the slaps me behind the behind for being reckless and she shakes her head at me. I chuckle in reply as I rub the back of my head. "Now....." the nurse walks up to the bed and places her hands on my leg. "This might hurt a little.." I brace myself as I grip the handle of the bed.
I feel a pop going off in my knee as it's popped back into its socket. "OW! What the hell? I thought you said it will only hurt a little" I complain to the mare. The nurse just smiles and pats my leg and shakes her head. "Oh stop whining ya big baby. Take it like a stallion" she says as she giggles. I smile slightly and lay my head down on the pillow. The nurse turns towards the two apple sisters and smiles. "He'll have to stay here over the night to see If had any more injuries." The girls nod their head and wave to me, so I sit up and wave back to them. As the nurse goes to close the door, a blur flies in and slams into my stomach. "Oof"
I get the wind knocked out of me as I lay on the bed. I look down towards my stomach and see Midnight laying on me. "Midnight?" Midnight looks up at me with teary eyes. "I-Is papa o-ok?" he says as he stutters out. I smile and brings him closer to me and I wipe his tears away.
"I'm fine Midnight. Please don't cry. It's hurts me to see you cry" I say with a soft tone. Midnight shakes his head and whimpers as he nuzzles under my chin. I frown as I rub his back. 'I guess he's still a upset' I say to myself. I sigh as I roll over to my side slowly while holding on to Midnight. I groan as I move my injured leg and this gets Midnight to look at me with his huge tearyed blue eyes. "Papa.....are.....you....ok?" I hear him struggle with the words but says them correctly. I scratch behind his ear which gets a little smile from him as he leans his head into my hand. "Yes, I'm fine" I say. The colt yawns and rubs his eyes. I smile as I think of a song to sing him to get him to sleep quicker. I clear my throat and begin.
"Starry Starry Night"
As I finish the song I hear little soft snores coming from the little colt. He grips my shirt as he nuzzles into me more. I smile and hug him close. I close my eyes and slowly slip into my awaiting dreams. I hear the door close which I don't pay attention to as I slip into deep slumber even though if it's still early in the morning.
