Like Morning Follows Night

While Pearl drove Grem, Diamond drove Fable the other direction. For such dismal happenings, it certainly was a beautiful, sunny day. Fable was giving him directions, since as many times as he went to Fable's house, he'd never been to Winter's.

"Yeah, man. It was supposed to be either a day of celebration, or another day of trying really hard to conceive. We never imagined Grem would be… you know." Diamond said and Fable was nodding.

"Well, as someone who has gone through relationship problems, I can tell you that there are far worse things that could have happened. That doesn't take away from how much this really sucks." Fable reached over and patted Diamond's hand as it rested on the stick shift.

"Duckies!" They heard a tiny voice say from the back. Then Fable looked out the side of the window to see a flying V formation of geese.

"Yeah, Emby! Those are ducks!" Fable said to the small, orange pegasus. Then he turned to Diamond again. "What you need to concentrate on is the fact that you both still love each other and you're both still willing to pull thrpugh this together, you know what I mean?"

"I know exactly what you mean. I've seen her sad before and I've seen her angry, but I've never seen her so devastated. It was horrible. I felt so powerless to help her." Diamond admitted. Just thinking about it made his chest hurt.

"You were helping her. You were giving her strength to stand. If not for you, she would be even worse off. That is not easy for a mare to find out she can't have a kid. It's downright tragic." Fable said as Diamond sighed. "But, have I explained to you how lucky you are to get a girl like Grem? I was one of the first ponies she met in Ranchtown and I haven't really met anyone like her since."

"Yeah, she really broke the mold, that's for sure." Diamond said as Fable pointed for him to go left. "I'm sorry about everything that happened with your marriage."

"Yeah, well, it's going by, slowly but surely." Fable said as he pointed to the house on the left.

It wasn't his old house or Winter's, but he still lovingly dropped off Ember Wing there. When it was done, Fable came back to the car, taking a few deep breaths. Then he directed Diamond toward Winter's house.

"Still, this is something we both need to get out of our systems." Fable said as he was shaking off the impending bad feelings that went with dropping off his son. "We're not going to get through this thing called life by sitting on our asses and feeling sorry for ourselves. We need to have faith that Pearl will come up with a plan to help Grem out."

"That's true." Diamond said as they came to Winter's neighborhood. "She has always been a problem solver, hasn't she?"

Fable hummed his agreement.

—--------------

"It's hopeless," Pearl sighed. Drawing gasps from both Grem and Pop. "Yes, I know. I really thought I could fix it, but it looks like it's time to give up." She sat in her living room, also identified as Prisma's third play area.

"But you love that dress. It looks so darling on Prisma." Pop said as Pearl held up the black dress with bright blue flowers on it. This made the pink pony sigh. "It's only a little stain." Pop remarked and Grem nodded.

"Oh, a little stain?" She said, pointing at the green smashed pea stain that went through the laundry. Before Pop could reply, she lifted up the baby skirt to show off the big brown stain that made both Grem and Pop recoil. "Yeah, I've been too forgiving already. This is an ex dress. My standards have been exceeded. This dress is too old as it is." She tossed it into the bin.

Then Pearl looked at her baby on the floor, who was playing with a toy phone, but mostly chewing on it. Prisma had no clothes on other than a fresh diaper. Pearl Necklace poked her belly with her hoof as she sat in her chair looking down at her.

"This is your fault, little missy." She said to Prisma, who just stared with a blank expression before fiddling more with the toy phone. Pearl booped her belly with her hoof again. This time, Prisma laughed.

That was when a white pony with long black hair walked in. She wore spiked ear studs and a black shirt with big red letters "Back off, I'm plotting revenge!" Her green eyes looked inside as she lifted her sunglasses and looked at the rest of them in the livingroom. Then she eyed Prisma on the ground.

Death Metal closed the door and walked in, dropping her small side pack on the floor and going to her wife.

"I found two ponies that are way better than you." Pearl said in a snippy voice as they kissed.

"So marry them, you trollop." They kissed again and Death bent down to pick up Prisma. Grem saw the warmest smile from Death Metal in that moment. For someone who looked stoic and hard 90% of the time, her metal exterior melted away when she nuzzled her little unicorn. "Hey, Grem, Pop."

"Hey, Death." They both said.

"Grem had a bad day. The doctor said she can't have kids." Pearl said with a downward glance. This made Death's eyes widen some as she looked back at Grem. "We decided to have a girl's night. If you want to join, you might want to call Lemon a little early."

"Well, damn." Death paused for a moment. It was moments like these that she was both glad and ashamed of the fact that her bedside manner was so terrible. "Should I get some booze while I'm at it?"

"That is yet to be discussed." Pearl said as Grem and Pop sat on the ground near Death's hooves. "Grem?" Pearl asked her as the bat pony plopped on her back in the living area. Above her head were little filly toys and Prisma's play area.

"I don't know, guys. I was just really looking forward to today and my life took a dive into a filly pool. Everything feels so different now. It's like a part of me was never there." Grem sighed and rolled onto her side.

To her surprise, Pop Candy laid down on top of Grem, and wrapped arms around her. She nuzzled Grem's neck and gave it a little kiss. Her pink, yellow and bright blue streaked hair draped over Grem's face.

"She's out." Death said, showing Pearl their sleeping baby. The pink pony's jaw hit the floor.

"How? How did you do that?" Pearl whispered to her in amazement. "I have been trying so hard to get her to sleep after my playdate with Fable."

"I'm the flavor of the week, remember?" Death said with a little grin. "Next week, she'll like you better."

Pearl tried to reason that out in her head, then shook her head. "Either way, call Lemon and get her over here." She rose to her hooves and Death shrugged as she took Prisma to her room.

Death Metal gently laid Prisma in her crib and got her phone as she closed the door. Then she got the phone out of her pocket.

"Hey, Death. Everything good?" Lemon asked as she picked up. Behind the counter at a gas station, she flipped through a magazine. She was supposed to be mopping the front area but she didn't feel like it.

"No, actually, Grem's over here." Death said, making Lemon sit forward, dropping the magazine.

"Grem?! What? What happened? What's wrong?" She listened intently and as soon as Death explained, her hand covered her mouth as she gasped. Her eyes went wide and she whispered expletives. "I'm coming over right now!"

Lemon hung up the phone, hopped over the counter and ran out the front door. She clicked on her seatbelt, flipped on her sunglasses and her peeling tires could be heard for miles as her car bolted out of the parking lot, roaring down the road.

—------------

Fable opened the door to see Golden on the couch with her phone, while Winter was carrying Twin Tips around the living room behind the couch. She was on his shoulder and he was rubbing her back.

"Hey, Fable." Golden said as she looked up. "Oh! Hey, Diamond! I wish Fable would have told me we were having company. I would have put on something more presentable." She stood up from the couch and waved to Diamond. She had on a long shirt and her hair was in a ponytail.

"It's fine, Golden. You look great." Fable said as he embraced her and gave her a big kiss on the lips. "Why don't you ditch the loser and get with Big Red instead?"

"Oh, my!" Golden blushed big time.

"Your face and my ass, Fabs." Winter looked at him with a scowl. He was bouncing Twin a bit and her hands were patting his shoulder Then he nodded to Diamond. "So what's going on?"

"We need a guys' night. Call the sitter and get dressed. It's Neo-Tail night!" Fable declared.

"Wait, what? Where did this all come from?" Winter asked as Golden walked to him and took the baby from him. Then she motioned for him to go.

"We'll explain in the car. For now, let's suit up!" The red pegasus walked over and kissed Golden on the cheek. The brown unicorn girl smiled and kissed his. "Thank you."

"It's no problem, I'll call Frozen to come help if I need another nap." Golden said as she nuzzled Twin with her nose. "Now, go play, have fun." Then she pinched her husband's nose. "You've earned it. But I get my girls' night next."

She kissed Winter and Fable smiled. "He can be a part of that too!"

"Kiss a moose's ass, Fable!" Winter growled. Diamond covered his mouth as he stifled a laugh.

—--------------

Lemon was still hugging onto Grem as the rest of them started putting blankets and pillows onto the ground. She stroked Grem's orange hair and kissed her cheek, then her ear and then nuzzled her neck.

"I'm okay, Lemon." Grem sniffed a bit as the yellow earth pony let loose a fresh batch of tears. "I'll be fine."

"I know, Grem, but thinking about everything. Thinking about how you got to where you are today, it was so nice to see you succeed as a royal guard, and get a nice hot guy. I just wanted you to get married and have–" Lemon teared up and began to sob.

Then she squealed as Pearl slapped her ass as she walked by. "Enough of that, Lemon! We're going to be jolly and watch rom coms and we're going to gossip about boys. But first, I want to hear this."

"Hear what?" Grem asked as Pop Candy passed her some pajamas. They were all putting on brand new pajamas made from some of the softest fabric they'd ever felt. It was from a new line of pajamas her company was producing, so she had tons of samples.

"What she was talking about, how you got here. I'm kind of interested." Pearl said as she noticed Pop's tits took up most of the pajama shirt while her midrift was in full view. It was entirely too small but also very soft.

"Well, my earliest memories were in an orphanage in Canterlot. I was very close to the den mother, was one of her helpers with the other kids. We got by with very little but we were happy enough where we were." Grem's little smile went away, though. "Then there was a fire. Thankfully, I was able to get all of the kids I could out of the burning building, but from there, all of the kids were separated into different groups.

"When I was old enough, I joined Luna's royal guard and worked my up to captain. That's when they sent me here." Grem got out her phone and opened up her gallery. All of the girls looked to see Grem when she was a budding teenager. She was swinging her weapon at a practice dummy with a look on her face of anger and determination.

"Oh, wow!" Lemon said as she looked close. "Is that the same sword you have now?"

"No, that was just a training sword." She said as she flipped her pictures over a few times. "This was when I got my captains sword."

"Whoa! That's Princess Luna!" Pop said, looking closely. "Look at all those medals."

She stood beside the princess in her armor, with an entire ribbon rack full of honors. Princess Luna stood a bit taller than her and wore her own black platemail.

"Yeah, I was picked out of a few others to be captain of her guard. I was reassigned here a few years later." Grem said before turning off her phone. "Anyway, yeah, it was… interesting."

"Did you ever try to find any of the other kids from the orphanage?" Pearl asked her as Death Metal walked into the room with a tray full of snacks and sugary sodas.

"I found out where a few of them ended up but I didn't really take it further than that." Grem admitted, still wondering about a few of them, and the den mother.

"Well, damn Grem, that must have been kind of rough." Death put it lightly. "You girls ready for a sappy crappy rom com starring that one chick who falls in love with a guy and they never fuck?"

"Which one?" Lemon asked, sitting on the blanket, a pillow propping up her back.

"I don't know, I just picked one." Death admitted as she set up the video player on the biggest screen they had in the house.

"Nice to know you're so devoted, honey bunny." Pearl said with no shortage of sarcasm.

"So much devotion." Death said as she pushed in the disc. As it turned on, they were all gifted with the image of a menu screen where a demon masked pony who had on a hood and was rearing up to stab someone.

"What is this?!" Pearl exclaimed.

"Ooohh Devil Steed, this came out when I was a filly." Grem said, putting some popcorn in her mouth.

"Gee, Death Metal's favorite movie, who would have guessed." Pearl glared at her wife, who looked exaggeratedly shocked and appalled.

"Oh, my dear sweet wife. I had no idea." Death's face immediately went back to normal. "But since it's already on." She pressed play.

—-------------

Angels, hearts, glittery lights, white clouds and hot babes in white bikinis. Neon Tail's theme was "Love in High Places" so all who were not in normal clothes were naked in some sort of heart paint or cloud cotton puffs. One guy cast a magic spell on himself to glow a deep red color while wearing absolutely nothing.

Winter loaned Diamond Sword one of his nicer suits. It was blue with pinstripes and a white undershirt. Seeing some girls topless with heart pasties, bottomless with red t-shirts and just full on naked made him feel entirely overdressed for this place.

They sat at a table and were passing around a full bottle of Amber Cat. Each of them had their own chaser of choice and it wasn't long before they got the normally reserved Diamond Sword talking.

"You know, I'm glad your trilogy had a real ending and didn't try to sequel bate. I'm also glad the publishers didn't push you to make a fourth one. I liked the ending." Diamond said as he poured himself another drink.

"They couldn't push. I had it in my contract that there were to be no sequels without my involvement. Still, they weren’t too upset with me when I told them I was ending at three.” It was Fable’s turn to fill up a shot glass, then he passed it to Winter.

“I still say you should switch to science fiction. It’s the next logical step.” Winter said as he filled up his glass. With all three of them filled, they picked up their glasses, clicked all three together and drank. “You gonna start hugging ponies now, eh?”

“Eat a dick, Winter.” Fable croaked as he took a long sip of his chaser, which was a Fizz Fountain soda.

“When?” Winter asked as he leaned over to him.

“Ten minutes sounds about right.” Fable said as they pecked their lips together in a tiny kiss and Winter chuckled.

"And that's another thing," Diamond said, drawing puzzled looks as he refilled and passed the bottle around. "There's all this talk about how you guys are married. Is that true, or is it more of a joke?"

Both Fable and Winter burst out laughing. Fable had to put down the bottle to calm himself down before he continued with the shot. Diamond looked at them incredulously as they nearly died, tears rolling down their cheeks and even had a few coughs before they finally settled down.

"Dude, you just need to know that it's not something we take too seriously. It just is." Winter shrugged and held Fable's hand. He didn't know if it was the Amber Cat working its magic or not but Fable was smiling at him. He even scooted closer next to him. The two of them nuzzled one another and met in a deeper kiss.

Diamond watched this with some interest. "So, ummm, which one of you is…" He pointed at one, then the other.

"We kind of take turns. It more depends on who makes the first move." Fable said and Winter nodded his agreement as they all clicked their shots together again and drank.

"Why? Did you want to be the guest of honor?" Winter asked.

There was a long moment of silence and over time, Fable and Winter began to blink at Diamond. They were giving him widened eyes as the moment stretched out.

"Diamond?" Fable asked.

"I-I mean, I just didn't know how it worked. Am I supposed to know I'm bisexual, or does that mean I'm gay or…" Diamond started talking faster as the booze pried the truth out of him.

"You are thinking waaaaayyyy too hard about this, bro. The stage you are in right now is called 'bicurious' and it means you ask questions and see what you're comfortable with." Fable explained, making Diamond blush a great deal as he thought of the implications.

"Yeah, and you're lucky enough to know a male married couple who are not afraid to give demonstrations." Winter said with Fable nodding.

"Am I…" Diamond seemed afraid to ask. He took another drink without thinking. "Am I considered attractive to you?"

"Dude! Are you fucking kidding me?" Winter said, surprising the white unicorn. "You're easily a 10 in looks and your cock is something to behold."

"Yeah, we're going to need to study that cock closer if this conversation is going to continue." Fable said as he polished off another shot.

"R-really?" Diamond blushed seeming flattered.

"Ummm, waitress!" Fable flagged down their young, topless unicorn server. As she walked up to him he leaned closer to her. "We're going to need a VIP room."

—------------

"Wow! The killer is coming after me! I need to hide behind this clear pane of glass!" The young pony woman said as she stood in a well lit room, pressing her sexy body against the glass. "I hope he doesn't find me!"

"And this girl went on to win a Golden Saddle?" Pop Candy said as she ate her malted milk balls.

"Probably for having the best use of gag reflex." Death Metal said as she and her wife laid beside Grem on either side.

That's when the demon mask killer pulled a knife behind the girl in the movie and she screamed! Then she punched him several times in the face, knocking him through the window.

"Please don't kill me!" She screamed before picking up a fire extinguisher and throwing it at him through the broken glass.

"Ah! My balls!" The masked killer shouted!

"No wonder you like this movie." Lemon smiled as she sat near Death Metal, eating red liquorice.

"Man, you guys are amazing. I can't ask for better friends." Grem said, making Pearl smile and stroke her hair. The bat pony began to stretch. "I should probably call Diamond, see how he's-" There came an audible rip that drew everyone's attention.

As she stretched her legs, the very tight pajama pants she had on tore open at the pelvis. They were too tight to wear panties with.

"Oh my." Pearl said as she observed the very visible pussy through her torn pj's. "Yeah, the samples I got weren't meant for voluptuous bodies such as yours." She giggled and kissed the bat pony full on the lips before reaching down and sweeping her hand over her outer labia.

Grem squeaked and Death Metal clutched two fingers on her nipple inside her pj shirt. "This has been staring at me all through the movie." Death said as she pinched, causing Grem to moan into Pearl's mouth. This moan was heightened when the pink pony's fingers clamped tighter onto her pussy.

"Oh! Yes! Pound me!" Grem cried as Death Metal removed her pajama shirt and both her and Pearl sucked either of her nipples.

"'Pound me' she says. What a hot little trollop." Lemon grinned, but it was Pop Candy who made the first move. The cream colored unicorn got straight up on Grem's vagina and began to lap her tongue against her pink skin. "Hey! Pop! You harlot!"

"Mmmm snooze you lose." Pop smiled at her before sliding her tongue straight into Grem's fuck hole.

"Oohh, I see." Lemon said before disappearing next time anyone looked toward her.

Moments later, after Grem had already cum for the first time, Pop's tight pajama pants were pulled straight down. The unicorn let out an "Eek!" Then she looked back to see Lemon Square was now sporting a huge horse cock, strapped on around her thighs.

"Wh-what!" Pop bulged her eyes at the huge red cock that dangled between Lemon's legs as the purple maned earth pony slathered it with lube. "Where did you-"

"From my vanity." Pearl answered, annoyed that their babysitter had noticed where she kept it.

Pop cried out in such lust and her eyes bulged as the earth pony plunged the big red cock into her vagina. She started to piston it back and forth into Pop, and the unicorn couldn't help but push back against it as it stretched her pussy lips.

"But! Oh! Fuck! We're supposed to be helping-ah!-Grem!" Pop cried out as Lemon fucked her from behind like she had a good deal of experience in doing so.

"Well," Lemon huffed as she humped. "I'm helping you help her. Did you want me to stop?" Lemon slapped Pop's ass, making her squeal.

"No! Please! Don't stop!" Pop moaned hard as Lemon went balls deep.

"Then start licking, you big tittied slut!" Lemon was having a bit too much fun in the dom position. Pop complied like a good sub and began to suck on Grem's labia folds with an extra gusto.

"Oh!" Grem suddenly felt another climax burst from within. Pearl was now sucking on one nipple after another as Death Metal was taking off her pajamas with the little ghosts and skull patterns all over them. Then the naked white earth pony got on top of Grem's face with her pussy going straight to her muzzle.

"Oh! Fuck!" Death bit her lower lip and couldn't help but play with her own modest tits as Grem licked her pussy hole to her clitoris. Her tongue ground against Death and the smaller earth pony shivered hard as she came!

"Mmmm I bet Diamond isn't having this much fun." Pearl said as she smiled at Grem and pulled her pants down to take her turn.

—-----------------

Diamond sat on the floor in his boxers while Fable and Winter stood in front of him. They were very tipsy and their cocks were both hardened to the stage of pointing forward toward the white unicorn stallion.

"So, you want me to…" Diamond asked, pointing at them.

"Up to you, man." Winter said, giving Fable's dick a little rub before the pegasus have his hand a slap. Winter chuckled.

"But if you want to back out, now's the time. And we're not here to pressure–" Fable was interrupted as Diamond grabbed hold of both cocks in front of him, stroking them softly. "Oh, never mind then." He leaned his crotch closer to give Diamond a good grip.

The unicorn took that to mean he wanted it shoved in his mouth. First, Diamond ran a tongue over Fable's cock head. Then he sucked on the head for a moment and pulled his dick out.

"Not too bad?" Winter asked as the unicorn shoved the blue dick in his mouth, licking over the shaft. "I guess not." He sighed as he felt that wonderfully wet warmth.

The VIP room had a minibar, a long couch and a lush black carpet with a black light making all of the white specks in it light up like stars. There was a stereo, a large table and five chairs. Diamond was sitting on the couch as he switched from cock to cock, sucking each of them into a hardened state.

"I've wanted this for a while." Diamond admitted.

"And Grem?" Winter asked.

"She kept telling me to ask you, but…" Diamond blushed.

"It took a bit of alcohol to bring it out of you." Winter chuckle, but then drew in a sharp breath as Diamond sucked and stroked his cock at the same time. "You're a little too good at that for your first suck." Winter eyed him suspiciously.

"He obviously had a good teacher." Fable chuckled but then stopped with a grunt as Diamond cupped his balls. That's when The unicorn brought Fable's dick more into his mouth.

He gave up on the deepthroat before he could even get to the red cock's medial ring. "Yeah, bro, you're going to need to train your throat a lot more if you want to go deep with either of our dongs." Winter chuckled as Diamond coughed and caught his breath.

"She makes it look so easy." Diamond said with a smile.

"I know." Both of them replied at the same time.

"You know what else she makes look easy?" Fable asked and Diamond blinked, thinking he knew the answer. "Get down like a dog and I'll show you." As Fable said this, Winter rubbed his hands together.

After a bit of prep, Diamond's boxers were tossed aside and his asshole was nice and slick. Winter slid one finger up to the middle and felt Diamond tense up.

"Relax." Winter said, seeing it coming. When Diamomd released some, he continued in and the unicorn began to wriggle a little bit. Winter grinned at Fable, who was sitting in front of Diamond on the couch.

The white stallion dragged his tongue from Fable's balls up to the center of his shaft, and began to suck his way down again. The red and azure stallions grinned at one another as they heard Diamond Sword moan into Fable's member.

"Damn, Diamond," Winter worked in two fingers, making him draw in a very sharp breath. You're a natural. Just how badly did you want to get fucked?"

He answered by sliding Fable's dick into his mouth and bobbing his head up and down. It was Fable's turn to make some noise this time as he ran his hand through Diamond's light blonde mane.

Then Diamond felt it. Winter's big blue dick working its head into his asshole.

"Oh! Fuck! A little warning before you take my damn virginity?" Diamond look back at Winter.

The azure unicorn was going as slow as he could but it was very difficult with such a good lube job they did on him. Before long, Winter was pushing back and forth very slowly as Diamond sucked a big red rod.

"Very good form, Diamond. I kinda wish you'd have joined our side--nnnn sooner." Fable could feel his orgasm start to build from deep within him.

Then Winter was holding Diamond's tail against his ass cheek and fucking him full on. Fable was the first to cum. He pulled Diamond away from his dick and came hard all over his face.

"Oh! Fuck that's such a… feeling." Diamond couldn't describe having hot jizz on him. This was compounded with a dick in his ass, beating his taint with Winter's balls.

Diamond groaned as he laid his dirty face into Fable's lap while his hips were being pulled into harder thrusts than before.

"Get ready for your first anal creampie, Diamond!" As soon as Winter said this, Diamond cried out as he came all over the floor in front of the couch.

On top of the orgasm, he felt the twitching blue dick ejaculate hard in his ass. The sweaty, cum covered white stallion trembled a little as he felt his ass get filled.

Then he felt Fable lift up his own semihard cock and drape it over the filthy mess that was Diamond's face. Winter leaned over to get into the picture as Fable clicked his phone.

The image was perfect, especially when the phone's clicking sound made Diamond's eyes bulge open. He looked up at Fable's grinning face and he scowled.

"You jackasses." Diamond shook his head and glared as they high fived each other, chortling.

"You're welcome." They said at the same time.
