Seven of Diamonds

The next morning, Anon woke up early. Probably nervousness. He was going to be a dad real soon. He never thought he'd see the day. And what a child to have too. Sunset was as sweet as honey. He walked over to the cabinet and started preparing some hot coffee for the two of them. He needed something to do, some outlet for all this nervous energy. Lucky for him, Trixie woke up soon after.

She was wearing her favorite bathrobe, her smooth, round breasts just barely poking out of either side, She was also wearing his favorite emerald green panties. She always looked so sexy in those. Anon walked up and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"You really are the most beautiful girl alive."

Trixie lays her head against his chest

"Thank you sweet heart."

"You alright?"

"Just a bit nervous is all."

"We'll get through this. Just take some deep breaths."

"Do you think I'll make a good mom?"

"Of course I do Trixie."

"You're not just saying that?"

"I'd never lie to you."

Anon reached back to the table, still holding Trixie in his arms, and grabbed one of the cups of coffee

"Here. This should help some. We've got a big day ahead. We're driving."

Trixie looked confused

"Really? I'd thought we were going to take the plane."

"I did too. But then I thought what better way to get to know our knew daughter than by a road trip. I've marked a few places on the map we can visit."

"Ohhh that does sound like fun. What places?"

"Well starting where we are here in Michigan, we can go see the Grand Rapids museum. There's a Children's museum in Indianapolis, the World War One monument in Kansas City and a few others."

"Sounds like we're in for a long trip."

He hugs her closer

"But we've got the time." he said "We're never going to work another day in our lives."

She smiled brightly

"I never dreamed I'd retire at the age of twenty-eight."

Anon check his watch

"Shoot we need to get ready." he said "The orphanage opens in an hour. And the sooner we get packed up and leave, the better."

"But I haven't even packed yet."

"We'll figure it out."

They rushed through their morning routines and even then Trixie looked as beautiful as ever. She wore a long, flowing white skirt with one of her new tops. She had her hair tied in a ponytail with pink lipstick and silvery moon earrings. Trixie always had such a sense of style. They both rushed out the the station and got to the orphanage just in time for opening. Even the dark, dusty home looked beautiful today. Because today that little ball of sunshine would finally be theirs. Trixie, however, seemed a bit flustered.

"Trixie?"

"Do I look ok?"

"Better than ever."

"I'm not too sweaty am I? Oh please tell me my breath doesn't smell"

Anon clutches her shoulder

"Trixie. Relax. You look perfectly fine."

Trixie began to get in a tizzy

"Do you really think I'm up for it?" she says at a million miles an hour "You really think I'll be a good mom? We're not making a mistake are-"

She was interrupted by Anon's lips against her own.

"You'll be fine. Don't worry so much."

The kiss finally allowed Trixie to take a deep breath and steady herself

"You're right. Sorry. It's just... I don't want her to live the life I had."

"She won't Trixie. I'll see too it that she doesn't."

"And you won't die?"

"I won't. I'll be right by your side the entire time."

Trixie is finally put at peace

"Ok. I can do this." she said confidently

"Good job. You're doing great Trixie."

The two grasp one another's hand and walk through the doors.

"Hi. Anon and Trixie Lulamoon." he said to the receptionist "We're here to pickup Sunset Shimmer."

It was a different lady at the counter this time, but she was leagues nicer. She gave a warm, gentle smile and said

"Oh you're here for Sunset? She will be sorely missed. She's such a sweet little thing. I'm so glad she's getting a home though. This place will do nothing but bring her down. Thank you both for giving her the home she deserves."

Both Anon and Trixie looked at each other with a big smile

"It's our pleasure." Trixie said

The woman picked up the phone and talked to someone on the other line, no doubt calling for someone to send down Sunset. Trixie's nervousness had evidently been reignited by the fact that she was squeezing her husband's hand so hard his bones were about to crack. In just five minutes Sunset walked down the hall, wearing a cute little red and white dress with a matching bow. She had only a small suitcase with her.

"Mommy!" Sunset yelled, running to hug Trixie

Trixie returns the embrace, a large smile on her face and tears in her eyes

"Hi sweetie. You ready to start your new life?"

She nods and looks at Anon with a smile which he lovingly returned. After a few final pages of paperwork, Sunset was officially their adopted child. Sunset held both her new parents hands as they walked outside, Anon making sure to take the small suitcase.

"Now all we have to do is go get to the car and we'll be on our marry way." Anon said

"Where are we going dada?" she asked

"To your new home. Trust me, you'll really like it."

Sunset put her thumb in her mouth and they kept walking. She was surprisingly regressed for her age. She was less like a seven year old and more like a three year old. Hopefully it was just a phase and not some mental issue. Sunset stops moving, looking back at the orphanage.

"What's a matter, love?" Trixie asked

"I'm just going to miss my friend."

If he was honest with himself, Anon wished he could just adopt them all. But even with a billion dollars there was no way he could do that.

"I know sweetheart." she reassured her "Maybe one day we'll see her again. And you can teach her all the magic you'll learn."

Sunset stared a little long before finally turning her head forward, walking into her new future. Once at the station, Trixie went back to the mobile home with Sunset to pack her things while Anon got a rental car. Lucky for them they had a way to drop it off in Colorado. It was a little extra, but now money was no object. Anon got a red Sudan with plenty of space for all of their stuff and drove right back to the mobile home. It hadn't been since he was a teenager that he was able to drive. The feeling was amazing, liking returning to something he loved. By the time he got there the packing was just about completed.

Once everything was securely in the trunk, he and Trixie just stared at the mobile home. It was finally time to say goodbye. They had so many memories here. So many tears were shed, so many celebrations, so much love. They may have been moving into a happier life, but the love and closeness was not to be discounted.

"Are you ready to go sweetheart?" he asked

Trixie just stood there for a bit, looking at the trailer with a glint in her eyes.

"Yeah. From this moment forward, we start out new life."

"Here, here."

And with that, they both got in the car, Sunset tucked in the back seat, and drove into the slowly rising sun.
