Author's Note

This chapter will be full of music, why because I wanted it to be the musical part of the story.

Babies Day Out

Today is really good no monsters attacking Ponyville my wives are all happy and content. None of them are on an emotional rollercoaster or horny. Like I said today is a good day, so I decided to take the kids out for some fun. First, we'd go to the park then hit Sugarcube Corner to say hi to Mama-Pinkie and grab a snack then head back to the park for more fun. I let everyone know what was going on and grabbed the things we'd need.

So collecting my four rambunctious foals I head out while pushing the tram I looked around and noticed that there were a lot more ponies in town. So forgoing the park first we headed to Sugarcube Corner to see Pinkie and find out what's going on. As we made our way into the now crowded shop I looked to see Pinkie behind the counter looking a little frazzled. Looking at her was making my heartbreak, so I looked down at the kids smiling.

"Hey, you four want help daddy to save Mama-Pinkie?" Getting looks of anger from the boys and sadness from the girls hearing that one of their Mamas was in trouble.

I signed to them that it was going to be load by placing my hands over my ears, this got them to cover up under their blanket giggling. Pulling out my keychain with the only thing on it that could calm this crowd down a safety whistle so taking a deep breath I blow the whistle. To say the reaction was predictable would be saying that Discord was not Darwin's grab bag. Everypony hit the floor well all except for Pinkie and her employees due to them having cupcakes in their ears courtesy of Pinkie.

"Now I don't know who or care where you all are from but here we have things called manners and patience," Looking around I continued. "So shut up get in line and wait your turn."

"Who the buck do you think you are?" Some moron had to yell out.

I just turned to look at the guy with a predatory grin on my face, there's always one of them in a group. "Who am I, oh, I'm the guy that's married to this beautiful mare right here who also happens to be pregnant, but if that's not enough for you I'm also Brian Mac Cumhaill leader of the Fianna of Everfree." Looking at the guy's face was priceless I didn't know a green-furred pony could look any greener.

Tapping the tops of the four little mounds in the pram letting them know, it was safe to come out I walked over to my Pink pastry chef picking each of the kids up so that could see that their mommy was alright and get a kiss and hug from her.

"Thanks, Bri-Bri it was getting crazy in here and not a good crazy," Pinkie said as she hugged and kissed each of the foals and then me.

"No problem Luv, but if it happens again I want you to close up shop and just relax for a while it's not healthy for the Premiere Party Planning Pony of Ponyville who is also Pregnant to become Pooped." Making her and the foals giggle about the pooped part. " Now what's this I hear about a music festival?"

"Oh yeah, see this happened two years ago Applejacks friend Rara came to town for a concert," And for the next hour Pinkie told me all about Rara or as she was called back then Countess Coloratura and the big meanie face Svengallop how Applejack and Twilight showed Rara what the meanie was really like. And after they held the concert Rara decided to hold a Festival of Music every year and travel around Equestria bringing the joy of music to everypony.

As this was happening the ponies in line listened to the story as they waited to make their orders. What also happened was that our four little charmers got to have a mini cupcake each. Putting them back into the pram and getting one more kiss goodbye we headed out to the park.

On our way, I ran into the street performing ponies from Cantorlot we greeted each other and talked as we continued towards the park. The leader of the group told me about how they had taken my words to heart, when they found somepony in need they would help them asking that they would pay it forward. As we made it to the park the leader of the group whose name was Troupidor asked if I knew any more songs from my world I could teach them. Thinking about it I nodded after setting up the play area for my kids I had them get their instruments ready. So for the next few hours, I taught them some songs gaining an audience to boot.
The first was a classic.

The next one was a folk song.

We continued to play I taught them many more songs most weren't folk songs but they did fit the group's style in music.

When we finish the last song we had almost the entire town of Ponyville and its visitors there listening. The cheers were almost deafening I looked to see if the kids were ok only to see a blue dome of magic over them. Look around I finally saw that my herd was there and the magic was coming from Luna.

Applejack was the first to walk over with a mare I didn't recognize.

"Howdy, there sugarcube that there was some of the best music I ever heard, I really liked that last one, Oh this here is my friend Rara, Rara this here is our stallion Brian. Applejack gestured between us.

Shaking the mare's hoof in greeting we began to talk about the festival and the music she just heard. I explained that back on earth there were millions if not billions of different styles of songs and somehow I got roped into performing at the festival tonight. We continued speaking until Twilight introduced me to a mare friend of hers named Trixie. The mare in question had a long-time rivalry with Twilight but over time they buried the hatchet and became friends and it turned out that Trixie had decided to make Ponyville her home. Knowing there was something going on I just looked and my mare with an emotionless face until she caved.

"Ok, ok, you don't have to look at me like that all I want to know is if you would consider having Trixie join the herd and the others said it was alright and," The way she said it looking down at the ground with tears in her eyes was adorable.

I reach over pulling her into a hug and kiss, gave her the answer she hoped for.

With all of us here we decide to have a picnic and I did find out that Gilda, Gabby, and Ember did bring our eggs along in a thermal control pram, who knew. Pinkie joined us a little later and after finding out about Trixie was planing a welcome to the herd party later at home. While we were eating Trixie put on a small show for us and I have to say she is one hell of a dam good showpony. The foals and I couldn't stop watching for them it was the bright colored lights and for me I just like watching the mare do what she loves. After the show, I gave her a warm hug and welcoming kiss into the herd as for the foals they just babbled at her telling her all the things they saw, and after it, they gave her kisses also calling her Mama-Tiki. This made Trixie cry with happiness at being called a mommy getting a hug from all the herd.

After our picnic, I took my kids with me to walk around town still wanting to spend time with them and to think of how I got talked into being in the festival. Hell, I was never a pushover back on earth what happened to me? All I can think of is meeting the girls that's what happened. I used to be so careful not letting others get too close to protect myself but now all I want to do is protect them all and make 'em happy just like a family a real family should. With my small crisis avoided I finally figured out what to do about the festival.

Looking down at my kids I smiled. "Hey Daddy has an Idea and I can really use your help," Saying this had all of them throw up their hooves in joy.

Making my way through town I was looking for a group of ponies well ponies and a dragon but who cares I had a plan and come hell or high water it was going to work. See I learned that Sweetie Belle has a talent for music and Spike I know he would do anything for his girls just like his old man. Finding them was easy persuading them that was the hard part, that was until I broke down and used blackmail. See when they used one of my GoPros to make their own porn video they forgot to delete it from my computer's hard drive when they downloaded it on a DVD. Yes, I know it's cruel but desperate times and such, but when I told them the song I wanted them to sign Sweetie jumped at the chance and after hearing it Spike agreed as well.

When the time neared for the festival to began I headed home with four very sleepy tots. I waited patiently as everyone else got ready all of them were excited to hear what song I was going to do but I kept it to myself. Actually Pumpkin, Pound, Rhythm, and Blues knew what song their Daddy was going to sing but they promised not to tell. Getting there I was pestered by the girls until I told them to ask the kids, who when looked at by their mothers pretended to fall asleep they even faked snoring. We found a nice spot for all of us which is saying a lot seeing as how many of us there are in our group. And sat down to watch the entertainment and I have to say it was really enjoyable to see.

It was near the end when Rara walked up on stage and made the announcement. "Mare and Gentle Colts we have two special gifts for all of you, first I would like to introduce a very talented couple, Spike and Sweetie Belle Mac Cumhaill who will be singing a duet," Receiving a round of applause from all. " And our final performance will be by Equestrias very own Brian Mac Cumhaill." She said gaining a thunderous roar from the audience.

Sweetie and Spike made their way onto the stage as everyone went quiet and taking a deep breath they began to sing.

When they were finished there wasn't a dry eye anywhere Rarity Twilight and the rest of Spikes herd teleported to the stage hugging them both and telling them how proud and beautiful they sounded. After they exited the stage Rara came back to introduce me, making my way to the center of the stage, I stopped and looked out over the crowd.

Hello everyone, I know many of you already know who I am, but many of you don't. So let me introduce myself, my name is Brian Mac Cumhaill and I come from another world. A world different than this one but in a way similar, both have good and bad things that happen. But if you only focus on the bad, you'll miss all the good. So I thought this song would help you to see the good because it's what I feel every time I see and think about my family.

On our way to the house from the festival and after receiving many passionate kisses and promises of some bedroom action tonite. We headed home, that's when it hit me home it wasn't a house but a home, our home. At that moment I swore to God above that I would protect it and all who live there from anything.

Far off the coast of Baltimare in the Celestial Sea, a large unnatural-looking storm slowly began to change course heading back inland against the wind currents its course, Cantorlot.
