With the job of setting the playground back on track. He heads back to the house. He was hoping to get back to get dinner ready early so he and Derpy could talk and hang out. Which is something that is really hard to do with a little one climbing all over you wanting to play. Dinky despite being a pony is very agile and maybe be part mountain goat. Regardless, this was something he wanted to do.

The last two days or so he has noticed Derpy wasn't fully herself. It might be that she was still adapting to have to live somewhere new. Could be that very situation, she feels completely unable to care for herself anymore when her best effort left her with more bills than money. Maybe she feels like a burden. The latter he wanted to definitely to prove was false. She was far from it. She was a great friend and he wanted to help her. Regardless of how long it takes for her to get back on track. Now it was just making sure she knew that fully. Along with how deeply he cared for her. For once he was a bit nervous, he was diving into a delicate matter and it is easy to mess it up and dig a hole.

Though as he wanted, he was able to get home and prepare food before Derpy got home. Though oddly Dinky was home first, though she was just sending the message that she was hanging out with friends for the afternoon. Even better, he just got hours of extra time to tend to Derpy. Which just after he finished cooking came home, "Have you seen Dinky? She wasn't at the school when I went there."

"She was here about half hour ago, she went to her friends house to hang out a bit. She'll be home around eight." He said as he served up two plates for them. Despite it being only four, both of them were quite hungry so dinner was served early. Despite being a mail carrier, it was still tedious job, some heavy packages, lots of traveling needed to be done.

Dinner was delicious as usual, though shortly after it was over was when the talking was to begin. Derpy could tell he wanted to say something but obviously was a bit nervous to talk. Which was a bit unusual, but all his other demeanor's were usual so she figured it was something not very important. Like he was going on date in a few days or something and was nervous to tell her about it. Not that she would mind. It wasn't like they were a couple or something. Regardless, she was about to find out when he asked her to sit with him on the couch. "So, uh, I suck at these, so bare with me, but, I just wanted to tell you something that has been on my mind for about a day now. I know you feel like your a burden to me or similar. I can tell by the way you have been acting and presenting yourself around me. Which is why I wanted to have this talk with you. But it is also going to be more than that. Firstly, you aren't a burden or a problem for me at all. Never have and never will. You are a very close friend to me and if it was a problem for you to be here, I would have never offered you to live here. I am actually really glad to have you here. It really livens up the place and makes it less lonely to have others around, especially you and Dinky. I really care about you and her. Maybe even more than friends. You are a great mare and have worked really hard, and something about that has driven me towards you more than I thought it would. Especially after you moved in and after thinking about you feeling down today. Make of that last part what you will, but I do really like you and, yeah, just wanted to make sure you knew how I felt." By this point he was sweating more and more. Opening up like that is never easy and especially to one that feelings are felt for. He wiped his forehead and face a little and didn't notice Derpy's face till after he had done so. She wasn't looking at him, but he saw her tear up a bit.

Derpy listened intently, apparently it was important. As he started to open up, she felt a bit of relief for him to say what she deep down knew but couldn't quite come to terms with. Then he got to telling her about how deeply he cared for her. It hit her hard. She wasn't expecting it, she felt a joy hit her that she wasn't familiar with. She felt unworthy of such compliments and feelings. That's when the tears came. Why her? She wasn't special. She was a broken mare with more problems that she honestly wanted to admit. No money, struggling job, daughter she wasn't fully ready to have. She wouldn't admit it out loud. Dinky is her world, but Derpy wasn't fully ready to be a mother at this spot in her life. Could barely keep her own life in order. Which partly what led to her having to move out. Wrong choices, massive mistakes, mistrust. He was a nice stallion on the outside, but the flags were there. Then he took advantage of her. He took parts of her away that he couldn't give back even if he wanted. Which she hasn't seen him since. He bailed before she woke up.

She had a very dark month or so. Even after Dinky was born it was rough. Derpy doesn't even remember that night. She just knew he came over to hang out, that was it. Next thing she knew it was morning and she was well used. Sore, full and sticky. He was nowhere to be seen. She didn't have any pills nor could afford them to prevent what he did from giving her Dinky. Derpy is thankful for Dinky. Only good thing that came out of that situation. Then right at her lowest point in life, this human showed up and took time to get to know her. She was overly cautious with him starting off, but despite how hard she looked, no red flags. Plus he only wanted to be friends with her at the time. She saw nothing wrong with it.

She is embarrassed about this moment, but two weeks in, she wanted him to visit her while Dinky was at school. There she broke down crying about her issues. To him. Guess now he is returning the favor, opening up to her. But she was really low then but couldn't do anything about it. She had thoughts of ending herself. But they were quickly dismissed because of Dinky. Couldn't make her an orphan and leave her with that image. She didn't know why it was him she wanted then, but she was glad she picked him. He hugged her, let her cry her heart out into his shirt. Gave her his honest advice, never once judged her for being in a low spot. She cherished that moment. She knew he was one to keep around after that. Which was when she got a new spring to her step. Till she got that final notice to pay up or lose the apartment. She lost her fragile happiness again, but got it back when she was given a new place to stay immediately after she went to him about it. He didn't skip a beat on telling her that she was moving in and staying with him. That Friday evening, he showed up to her apartment, got her and Dinky's essentials and got them settled into his home. Then the next day finished it up, walked with her to hand in the keys to the landlord.

Now here she is, unable to look him in the eye. To him, she was a special mare, she felt anything but that. After what happened to her that night, she felt like no one would say that she was special and deserving of love. Yet here she is, being told that very thing. She really wanted to believe it. Just she couldn't comprehend it. "Why me?" Was all she muster out. She wanted to know why he would pick her of all mares. So many prettier, smarter, better mares than her. Yet she was the one he would pick? Why?

"You never gave up, even when it was easy too. Despite having a horrible past, you always try to be happy and well, you are also beautiful. You also care about others and a wonderful mother."

Derpy couldn't stop herself now. She clung to him and cried more. She never felt happier, but his confession broke her barriers and the dammed up water was let loose. Derpy felt like this was a dream, but she knew it was very real. Though comparing this moment to that stallion confessing his "feelings" she only felt that "in that moment" happiness with him. This was pure and lasting happiness that would last as long as they were together. She also took in each word he said, she never thought she was any of those, or able to do those. She was unworthy of this, but she wasn't about to let it slip her by. Her moment was made better when she felt him hold her in a tight embrace. It was enough to calm her down and she settled into him. She buried her head into his chest and moments later gasped a little when his hands dug into her shoulders and massaged them. She melted into him and she was loving it. She felt the right kind of vulnerable with him. He moved up and down her body slowly and worked her into a fully relaxed state.

In the heat of the moment she flipped around and wanted him to do her other side too. "Do everything." She said to him, a bit sultry. He wasn't about to disobey her. So he started to massage her chest. She started to moan and closed her eyes happily. Enjoying the attention. Her wings were at full span too, not that she cared. She was going to enjoy every second of this moment to it's fullest. Even if it gets a bit sensual for her. His hands felt amazing to her chest. She felt her muscles relax to a state she didn't think they would relax too. The way he kneaded into her too made her feel good. He moved to her upper stomach and sides. Now she was feeling like a special mare. Then after several minutes the moment she was somewhat secretly looking forward too. His hands slid between her thighs. Her teats were now the center of attention for his hands and it was more than she could have hoped to feel. It was super sensual for her and relaxing at the same time. His massage sank deep into her body and she felt hot and tingly. She knew what she was feeling and well, she was going to ride this out. Her moans got higher pitched and she pressed herself into him. "Stay there for a while." She said in an extra sultry voice. Now she was in it for the pleasure. To which she was very okay with it. Feeling like this is something not every mare will get to enjoy and she wanted to enjoy it for as long as she could manage.

He didn't give a response, only doing as told and stayed at her sensitive teats. Rubbing them, around them, giving them a little pinch and a little twist. Doing everything he knew to pleasure and massage her sensitive part. It was everything she wanted to feel. Relaxed and pleasure, what more could she ask for? Well she wanted more, but wanted to get as much of this as possible first. She was unsure of the next step, but this was plenty acceptable for her. Though she felt extra tingly and wasn't quite sure why till he went to squeeze and drops of white fluid landed on his fingers. She blushed heavily when he moved his hand to see what it was. It was her milk. He made her make milk. Oh she felt her face get super red. It wasn't what she thought would happen. But apparently it did. That was only part of why she blushed, the other part was the fact an idea popped into her head and well, she was looking forward to trying it out, but it was a very naughty thought for her. Though she took a small breath and looked to him, "Bedroom."

Author's Note

So, Vergil19, really wanted to see another chapter come up for this story, and so here it is. Took a bit longer than I planned, but I am happy with this result.

Secondly, I once again left out the name for the human because I wanted you guys, the viewers to come up with a good name for the hero human in this tale. Curious to what you guys come up with.

Thirdly, I plan on doing more blogs to do updates, add some bonus information, and ask you guys some questions about some ideas or whatever I happen to be thinking about. So check those out if you wanna. Obviously I have no power in making you do anything. Otherwise you would be the one writing this instead of me, because I am that lazy.

Enjoy!
