Foalsitting Aftermilk... math.

Morning at Sweet Apple Acres was greeted by a sound that had started to become commonplace in the last couple months as Applejack was pumping the milk out of her swollen teats. The cup pulled at her nipples as the suction drew out her milk and channeled it into a bottle. She gave a light moan at the sensation.

She soon heard her family get up and moving about as they headed down to breakfast. The sound of small hooves rapidly moving across the floor made her glad that Applebloom had gotten her cutie mark. A shiver went down AJ's spine as the words “Cutie Mark Crusader Milk Maids!” echoed through her mind.

Soon enough the machine slowed down as it detected the milk flow dry up. AJ turned the machine off and took the cups off. She applied a little lotion to soothe her sore nipples before capping the bottle and carrying it downstairs.

As she entered the kitchen she saw that Big Mac and Granny Smith were already eating and Applebloom seemed to have already finished and was off to do her morning chores. Walking over to the fridge she opened it and began putting the bottle inside when she noticed an empty space next to fresh bottle.

Looking back at the table she saw a similar bottle sitting mostly empty on the table. AJ quickly looked between that bottle, Granny's glass of milk and Mac's bowl of oatmeal that he was stirring some milk into.

“What happened to the milk jug?” She asked tentatively.

“Applebloom used up the last of it so me and Mac used the bottle.” Granny stated before taking a drink from her glass.

Big Mac nodded as he took a bite out of his bowl, before reaching over and adding some brown sugar to his breakfast.

“The bottles Ah've been putting in the fridge each day?” Applejack asked, already knowing the answer.

Granny took a moment to finish drinking before answering, “Yup. Quite tasty too, and it's bad luck to let good food to go to waste.”

Big Mac had taken several more bites out of his bowl, getting about halfway through it before he realized what his sister and grandmother were talking about. His spoon stopped part way to his mouth.

“Mare's milk good for you. Helps strengthen bones, both old and young, it also works like a natural aff-row-deez-iac.” Granny said, nudging Big Mac while saying the latter. “Why I remember what me and your grandfather got up to.”

Big Mac sat in silence for a moment before putting his spoon back in the bowl and leaving.

“Ain't nice to tease him like that Granny.” Applejack said, looking over the half full bowl before deciding to finish it off for herself.

“Ahh, he was already on his second bowl with your milk, plus I'd like to see some grandfoals round here so hopefully he'll find a nice mare soon.” Granny Smith replied.

“Well, Ah'm going to go talk to Twilight later, been trying to ween myself and it seems like the milk is only increasing in amount. Probably has to do with that spell she cast.” AJ said before digging in.

Granny finished her glass before heading off to check up on Applebloom and to make sure she was ready for school.

AJ had finished up her chores around the farm and was entering her friends castle. She quickly found Twilight dealing with some things around her home.

“Mornin' Twi. How's the day been for you?” She asked.

“Oh, hey AJ. It's been good so far, how about you.” Twilight answered.

“Well, Ah would like to talk to you bout that spell you cast back when we were watching your niece. Ah think it's preventing me from weening myself.” AJ stated.

“Oh yes. It was designed to keep your milk flowing for at least a year, it wouldn't do if you dried up before weening the foal. There is a counterspell I can cast, follow me and I'll see if I can find it for you.” Twilight said before turning around and heading to the library.

Walking behind her friend allowed Applejack to notice something particular about her.

“Umm, Twi, Ah don't know how to ask this so Ah'll just be blunt. Have you milked today?” She asked, feeling quite embarrassed.

“Not yet. I kinda enjoy that feeling of fullness. Depending on if I go out for lunch or eat in I'll milk either before or during. Once I'm done I toss the milk into the ice-cream maker for later.” Twilight said.

“Ice cream? You've been using your milk to make ice cream?” AJ asked somewhat shocked at her friend.

“Yup, keeps for longer that way and makes a great desert or late-night snack.” Twilight stated as they entered the library.

Applejack just shook her head and watched as her friend shifted through several books quickly searching for the spell. Soon enough she found it and cast the spell on AJ.

“That should do it. According to the book your milk will dry up in the next month or two.” Twilight explained.

“Thanks. Ah gotta run, Rarity has a spa day planned for us. Have a nice day Twi.” AJ said.

“Have fun at the spa Applejack.”

The bell jingled as AJ entered The Carousal Boutique drawing Rarity's attention.

“Good day Darling. I just have a couple new outfits to finish up and we can head over to the spa.” She greeted.

“That's fine. Ah can wait for a little while.” AJ replied.

“Hmmm, actually could I get you to model a few things? It'll help me figure out the finishing touches.” Rarity stated.

“As long as it ain't any of that frilly froo-froo stuff, Ah don't mind helping a friend.” Applejack said.

Soon she found herself being changed into and out of several outfits, many of which had extra fabric along the underside. Rarity made several marks on each article of clothing noting which ones needed to be let out or hemmed in to achieve her desired look.
