Author's Note

Hello One and All, First off, this is a story dedicated to all of those out in the ABDL community! and as FabulousDivaRarity puts it, we're pretty much all one big family. Secondly, the basis of this story came into my head from watching the Perfect Pear especially after hearing and learning about the friendship that a young Mrs. Cake had with Pear Butter. (I absolutely love that episode ) and most important of all, this is especially dedicated to FabulousDivaRarity, and her baby girl Raevyn, as well as my own caregiver, Luna.

I Promise...

It was years ago, before Applejack was born that Pear Butter, pregnant with her second child was spending time with her friend Mrs. Cake who had recently married, the two were in the Sugar Cube Corner kitchen, baking various treats and pastries.

"You know, I've been thinking, Chiffon..." Pear Butter began, "Bright Mac and I won't be around forever to take care of our babies, watching them grow, and since Bright and I agreed that Burnt Oak be Macintosh's godfather, he and I were wondering..."

"If I be the godmother to your daughter and any other fillies you may have?" Mrs. Cake asked, finishing her friend's sentence as she was hard at work frosting a cake for an order.

"Eeyup." Pear Butter said, nodding as she relaxed in her chair, eating an apple glazed donut. "You know me so well, my friend." she chuckled.

"Why, I'd be honored to." Mrs. Cake replied, giving her friend a gentle hug. "After all..." she went on, "Carrot and I would love to have foals of our own some day. and that'd be a good start."

"I'm sure that you'd make a great mother." Pear Butter replied, returning the hug. "I mean, Dad's never going to know about me being a mother, after all...I did marry the stallion I love, despite him being the son of his business rival." She then sighed, a few tears falling down from her face. "I just can't believe that he went and disowned me, his own daughter." Cup Cake finished up her delivery and went over to comfort her friend.

"Dear, I'm sure he was just in shock. But you are right, no pony should have to go through that. I promise you that, with foal number two, and foal number three and any other fillies that you end up having, to be a good caregiver and godmother."

"Thank you, I know that Granny Smith, my mother-in-law will do her best too. I mean, you saw how forgiving and welcoming to her family she was when Dad disowned me. But she, like Dad, is middle aged..."

"Yes, she looks to be one who can be very forgiving... and I know, it can be sad to know that your parents won't always be there to take care of you, but as long as you remember them, they're never really gone..."

"You're right there." Pear said.

Just then, Bright Mac came trotting in, with his young son in toll, a faint crinkle heard on the young colt's flanks. "There are my two handsome colts." Pear Butter said, smiling.

"Hey there, Buttercup.." smiled Bright. "How's the baby doing?"

"Oh quite fine, and how's our son?"

"Fine, mama.." young Mac said, heading into his mother's sightlines. "I was having fun playing with Granny in the house while Daddy was hard at work in the fields."

"Yeah, I kind of built up an appetite, bucking all them trees is hard work." Bright Mac said, "And, I figured, give Mom a break, and plus why not let our boy come see his mama and his "auntie Cake?" Young Mac blushed but nodded.

"Such a sweet young colt, and a handsome one too." cooed Mrs. Cake.

"Th..thank you, auntie Cake..." Young Mac stammered, and blushed even more from the attention he was receiving.

"Awww, I'm touched by you calling me that." Mrs. Cake said, tousling the young colt's mane, causing him to blush even more, from all the attention that he was recieving

"Mama, how are you?" Young Mac asked, trotting over to his mother.

"I'm fine sweetie, just relaxing a bit before I help your Auntie Cake with her order. Speaking of which.."

"Oh, right!" Mrs. Cake said, heading over to the counter. "What can I get for you two?"

"Ah'll have a few cupcakes, please, Chiffon." Bright Mac said, pointing out a variety of cupcakes. "I promised to get mom a treat."

"C..can I have a few cookies, please, Auntie Cake?"

"Certainly, Mackie..." the blue earth pony mare said, filling out the order and presenting the treats in a bag for Young Mac before proceeding to box up the cupcakes for Bright Mac.

"And, that'll be 10 bits, honey." Pear Butter said, as she carefully walked over to the cash register.

"Here you go, mama." Young Mac said as his father helped him pay for the treats. Bright Mac then took his son over to one of the tables inside where they ate their baked goods, saving a few treats for home. As Mrs. Cake finished the order, she trotted up to a cabinet and returned to the two male ponies, with a present. "Mackie, this is a gift from Carrot and I, I hope you like it."

"Can I open it?" the young diapered colt asked.

"Of course, son." smiled the stallion. Young Mac opened up the parcel and looked inside which was a teddy bear, which was red in color and had a cupcake design printed on his paws. He smiled at the present and showed it to his father and then to his mother.

"Thank you Auntie Cake." Young Mac said, giving a hug to the baker. "It was my pleasure, Mackie, I hope that you'll take good care of him."

"Oh I will." Young Mac replied, giving the bear a cuddle.

"Come on son, we need to get home, for your nap and so Granny can have her cupcakes."

"Okay daddy, bye mama, bye Auntie Cake, and thank you once again." the young colt said, hugging his honorary aunt and giving a hug and kiss to his mother before heading out of the shop with his father back to Sweet Apple Acres. Once they were gone, the two mares sat at a table.

"That was a very nice and thoughtful thing you did for my son, Chiffon." Pear Butter said, "You really made him a happy little colt, if Granny, Bright or I ever need a break, you can always foalsit him for us, and we'd greatly appreciate it." she continued, taking her hoof and rubbing her belly.

"Oh it was nothing, really, after all, he's your first born, and you're my best friend, Buttercup, least I could do, and thank you. That'd be great practice for when I'm ready to become a mother myself." Cup Cake replied, smiling at her friend.

For the rest of the day, the two filled in various orders for delivery and took orders from customers.
