Instincts of a Mother

Dashie didn’t want to get up. She was all snuggled up against Twilight’s belly and her head was tucked into the crook of her elbow. Twilight’s wing was draped over her back, and she was small enough that it covered most of her body. She was wondrously warm, and Twilight’s soft feathers had kept her content throughout the night. Even though the bedroom was rather chilly, Twilight’s warmth had been more than enough for her. She sighed and nuzzled Twilight’s belly as her stomach grumbled loudly.

Flicking her ears back, Dashie took a deep breath and let it out slowly, smiling as Twilight’s familiar and comforting flowery scent filled her nostrils. In such an unfamiliar environment, it sure felt nice to wake up next to somepony you trusted with your life. She had a bit of a headache, but it was just a minor one.

Dashie’s stomach grumbled again. She whined softly, knowing that she would have to give up Twilight’s warmth if she wanted to sate her hunger.

Another gurgle from her stomach helped her make up her mind.

Sticking close to Twilight’s belly, Dashie pushed Twilight’s wing off of her and sat up, the thick padding between her legs pushing them apart. After wiping her eyes, Dashie turned around and slid down towards Twilight’s engorged breasts. Still feeling rather tired, Dashie wrapped her lips around the bottom nipple and started sucking. No milk came out at first, making Dashie suck harder. A few spurts came out, then a little more, and a little more after that.

It’s kinda weird how I can’t eat solid food... Dashie thought as she felt her diaper warm up. I can’t even keep foal food down, either... She looked at the changing table as she sated her hunger, eyeing the diapers that Celestia had bought for her. Even though the room was still dark, the sun’s rays started to seep through the bottom of the curtains, giving her just enough light to recognize the design on the plastic packaging. Oddly enough, even though Dashie knew those were the best of the best diapers for foals, she found that she couldn’t read the label.

Going through the motions of suckling on Twilight’s teat soothed Dashie and purged the coldness from her coat, warming her up from the inside. Dashie smiled and laid her head on the breast that she had just drained, using it as a makeshift pillow for the moment. It was almost as soft as a cloud, but it had one trait that Dashie really loved: it was warm. While clouds were warmed by the sun, she knew from experience that only the top layer was moderately warm, and that everything under that was cold. Twilight’s breasts radiated heat, and Dashie couldn’t get enough of it.

She wiggled her head into Twilight’s cleavage, giggling as she wiggled her head in between both breasts. Dashie nuzzled the breast that she hadn’t sucked from, then sat up. She placed her front hooves on the lower breast and pushed herself up, then wrapped her lips around Twilight’s teat. Like before, the flow of milk wasn’t strong at first, but she knew the drill.

Twilight groaned as she woke up from Dashie’s actions. The pressure in her breasts was very minimal, and she smiled when she realized that Dashie was getting her fill. I wonder if this is what it feels like to be a mother, to be woken up by a hungry foal every morning... A soft blush tinted her cheeks as she looked down at Dashie, missing her soft pillow. She lifted her right hind leg and set it behind her other leg, giving Dashie a little extra breathing room.

Flicking her tail around her foal, Twilight patted the back of Dashie’s diaper and felt that she needed a change. “Good morning, little one...” she said softly. Dashie stopped sucking on her teat and looked up at her, a bit of milk drooling out of the corner of her mouth. Twilight giggled softly as she lit her horn to clean it off. Figuring that Dashie got her fill, Twilight leaned down and nuzzled the top of her head, right in between her ears. She heard Dashie hum happily as she nuzzled her back.

“Sleep well?” Twilight asked. Dashie nodded, then slid back under Twilight’s wing, snuggling up against her side just like before. “Oh, you wanna sleep some more?” She felt Dashie nod. “Hehe, okay then... We can sleep in for another hour or so.”

Just as she was about to lay her head back down on the pillow, she heard a soft knocking come from downstairs. She figured that it was just a guard or one of the maids, so she made sure her bedroom door was locked with a quick spell, then she closed her eyes again.

Somepony knocked again, this time much harder.

“Fine... fine, I’m coming...” Twilight grumbled. She folded her wing back to her side and stood up, stretching her legs and wings. She let loose a small yawn and hopped off of the bed. “I’ll be back in a minute or two, Dashie. I just want to see who’s at the door, okay?” She looked over her shoulder and saw Dashie giving her the biggest puppy dog eyes ever. “Oh, I’ll only be gone a couple of minutes!” She laid a kiss on the tip of Dashie’s muzzle. “And I’ll be sure to change you when I get back, okay?” She wrapped the blanket around Dashie and tucked it in around her.

Hearing the pony downstairs knock again, this time much faster than before, Twilight rolled her eyes and trotted downstairs. “Who in their right mind would come here so early in the morning?” She looked at the clock beside the door and saw it was a few minutes before seven. After running a hoof through her mane a few times to try to get rid of her bedhead, Twilight opened the door.

“Princess Luna?” Twilight cocked her head to the side as Luna walked inside, several shopping bags held up in her magical grasp.

“Why, a good morning to you to, Twilight Sparkle!” Princess Luna looked all over the place. “‘Tia told me everything last night! So, where is she? I’ve got so many outfits that it’s gonna take all day to go through!”

Twilight took a step back in surprise. Her ears flicked forward as she closed the door. “And I’m guessing that’s why you came so early?”

“Well...” Princess Luna blushed and giggled. “Celestia made it clear that I was to let the two of you sleep through the night before I came to see you. The moment she told me that you were here with a foal of your own, I simply had to see them!” Her tone abruptly changed from one of utmost excitement to one of hesitation. “To be perfectly honest, Twilight, I...” Luna bit her lip and rubbed her foreleg sheepishly. “I had thought our friendship was strong enough for you to confide in me that you had found a stallion. I was very surprised to hear that you gave birth to a foal of your own, especially knowing your, um... preferences.”

“Uh... yeah, about that...” Twilight chuckled and scratched the back of her head. “I didn’t exactly have a foal, I kind of... you know.... transformed my marefriend into a foal because she asked me too,” she said, speaking as quickly as she could. Twilight blushed madly, a nervous giggle escaping her. She found it particularly hard to meet Luna’s gaze.

Luna paused and placed her bags down between them. “Pray tell, what do you mean?” She cocked her head to the side and flicked her ears up to face Twilight.

“Uh... well, you know my marefriend is Rainbow Dash, right?” Twilight asked slowly. Luna nodded. “She wanted to be treated like a foal for just one night, and... things went kind of wrong.”

“I... I don’t understand, Twilight.”

Twilight sighed, knowing she was going to have to show Luna Dashie sooner or later. “Just follow me and you’ll see what I mean.” Twilight lit her horn and grabbed Luna’s bags for her, then led her upstairs. “Oh, and I call her Dashie now. Dashie is a name more fitting for a foal, and it’s what she wanted to be called when... well, you know.” Twilight gently opened the door and poked her head inside to find Dashie fast asleep on the bed, curled up into a ball. “Shhh... I think she fell asleep again.”

Luna nodded, then pushed the door open the rest of the way with a hoof. As soon as she saw Dashie curled up on the bed, her face lit up like a Hearthswarming tree. She squeed and pranced her way to the bed, and when she reached it she pranced in place with a large smile on her face. “Oh my gosh, Twilight, she’s soooooooo cute!”

At that, Dashie woke up and looked up at Luna with bleary eyes. She squinted up at the Princess of the Night and cocked her head to the side. “Pwincess Woona? Dat you?”

Luna squealed in excitement like a schoolfilly that just got news that school was cancelled for the rest of the week. “She can speak? But she’s a foal! You must tell us everything!” Luna hopped onto the bed and settled down around Dashie.

“Alright, but she needs to get changed first,” Twilight said with a chuckle. She lit her horn and lifted Dashie from the bed. Luckily enough for them, Celestia had provided them a fully stocked changing table. Twilight gently set Dashie down on her back and undid the tapes on the used diaper. She lifted her up and slid the diaper out from under her, then tossed it in the nearby diaper bin.

“Hm... where to start, where to start...” Twilight muttered. She leaned down and grabbed a new package of diapers with her hooves. “Dashie wanted to have as real a situation as possible, so I did some research and found some spells that made things realistic for her. She’s a foal through and through, except for the part where her adult mind is still perfectly intact. That explains how she can speak.”

“But... she speaks like a foal.” Luna paused and rubbed her chin, then smiled. “Was that one of the spells you used on her?”

Twilight nodded. “Mhm.” She lifted the package of diapers up and used her magic to tear open the plastic, then pulled one out. It was noticeably thicker than the diapers she had bought for Dashie back in Ponyville and the plastic was much more crinkly. And to top it all off, it had cute little pictures of the Wonderbolts all over the front landing zone. Twilight chuckled to herself, wondering if Celestia had bought these ones on purpose.

Twilight wiped off Dashie’s privates with a few foal wipes, then disposed of them in the diaper bin. She sprinkled powder on Dashie’s privates, making sure she didn’t miss a spot. Next, she opened up the diaper and sprinkled in some extra foal powder on the interior, just to be extra sure. After that, Twilight lifted Dashie’s butt up into the air again and slid the new diaper under her rump. She threaded her tail through the hole in the back with a little bit of difficulty, then snuggly taped it all up.

“There we go, all better now!” Twilight blew a raspberry on Dashie’s stomach, making her filly laugh uncontrollably. Twilight felt Dashie try to push her head away, but she was much too weak to do anything about it. She let a few more seconds pass before she relented. As Twilight pulled back, Dashie playfully glared at her, then reached for her as she wiggled her hips.

“Alright, let’s go back to Luna and see what she brought you, hm? You like presents, don’t you?” Twilight asked as she placed Dashie on her back, right between her wings.

Dashie stood up on shaky legs, placed her front hooves on the back of Twilight’s head, and tried to get a good look at what Luna brought her. “Pwesents? What pwesents?”

Princess Luna held up a frilly pink onesie with white lace trimming. “We’re going to play dress-up!”

Dashie groaned and collapsed against the back of Twilight’s neck. Oh, come on! Anything but that!
