Auntie Rarity

Sweetie Belle’s POV

My parents finally went back to Canterlot this morning. They had to get back to work, and leave their grandfoals. They really didn’t want to, but my foals are a month old today, and they really can’t miss much more work. Rarity told me she’d let me go back to school after a month, but I don’t want to leave my fillies.

“Sweetie Belle darling!” Rarity called waking me up. “Time for school!” She said over my crying foals. I walked over to their cribs and smiled.
“Good morning.” I smiled, lifting them with my magic. My foals are sweet and usually Pearl is pretty quiet, but Minnie is a loud little foal.

“Darling get ready.” Rarity ordered taking my foals. “They’ll be fine with me all day.” She smiled. “They might help me attract some customers.”

“Glad my daughters can bring in business.” I rolled my eyes. I sat down and fixed my mane. The last thing I want to do is go back to school, but I have done all my work, and tests at home. I only have about two months of school to go before I graduate. My friends miss me really bad, and Apple Bloom and I haven’t seen each other since before my foals were born. Scootaloo visited a few times. Everyone loves my daughters for the way they look, and their cute little attitude.

“I’ll see you later Rarity!” I smiled. “Be good.” I told my foals nuzzling their little noses. “Mommy loves you!” I called leaving the house. It’s still so weird to think that I’m a mom now. I walked into my school and Scootaloo was there and hugged me.

“It’s so awesome to see you back Sweetie Belle! Apple Bloom came back last week, she’s still in a wheelchair, but she’ll be so excited to see you!” She smiled.We trotted down the hall into our first class and Apple Bloom’s face lit up.

“Sweetie Belle!” She gleamed. I wanted to hug her, but she had scars and a few stitches, even one of her arms in a sling. “How are you? How are your foals? Do you still feel sick? You lost a LOT of weight!” She started before I got a word out. I took a breath to speak, but the teacher came in and Scootaloo and I sat down. My teacher started calling role, and then he got to my name.

“Ah, maternity leave.” He said making a mark. I went to raise my hoof, and it already started.

“What a skank.” I heard a colt laugh.

“I’m here.” I said making my presence known.Everypony looked at me afraid and worried about what I was going to say. I wanted to be angry, but I thought about my foals and their little faces. Who would say anything bad about them if they knew them? Their fun loving precious little infants, with a father who left them. Then I realized, they’re not talking about my babies, they’re talking about my actions.

“What I do is not your problem.” I scowled. My friends looked afraid. I don’t usually snap: towards anyone! I took a deep breath and went back to my book. The hour passed as fast as Rainbow Dash is slow. When class was dismissed I ran to my next class trying not to see a single pony on the way.

Rarity’s POV

My darling little nieces were bringing in clients like crazy! No one can resist these little foals, they’re too adorable. I’m sure them being related to me had something to do with their fabulousness. I had the little pegasus in a knitted cage. Every single time I try to leave the poor thing alone, and not hold her anymore, she flies everywhere! I’m terribly worried she’ll hurt herself with those giant wings.

“Excuse me!” A rude pony called. She was dressed like she had all the bits in the world.

“May I help you?” I asked politely.

“I’m looking for a dress, and it HAS to be perfect. Not a jewel missing, not a stitch out of place. It can’t be an ugly color, and it cannot be ugly. Do you understand?” Before I could open my mouth for the challenge my little niece Pearl started sobbing.

“What’s wrong darling?” I asked picking up the little unicorn. She calmed down once she was in my arms and I carried her around with my magic as I returned to the rude customer who was staring at Minnie.

“Why is this creature in a cage?” She asked staring at my little niece.

“That creature is my niece.” I informed with a hint of insulation. “I don’t want her to fly all over the place so I knitted her a cosy place to stay.” I corrected. She scoffed.

“Well she shouldn’t be cramped in there.” She said opening the cage and setting Minnie free. She instantly started flying around me, and I wanted to catch her, but I was already holding Pearl, and Minnie was getting too far away.

“Minnie!” I yelled after her. She didn’t return. She continued flying towards cloudsdale!

“Now as for my dress.” The incredibly rude customer started AGAIN. I gritted my teeth and even saw my little Pearl grit her gums at that witch.

“Get.OUT!” I yelled making Pearl cry again from the outburst.

Rainbow Dash’s POV

I woke up from my nap to some crying. There aren’t babies in cloudsdale. “Hey shut up your foal!” I yelled turning around. I looked and I saw the abandoned foal with giant wings. She was really small besides those, and when I got close I noticed the crying filly was Sweetie Belle’s kid.

“What are you doing here kid?” I asked out loud. She stopped crying and fluttered her wings, lifting us both off the cloud. “Stop!” I fought flying the opposite direction. I gotta get this kid to Fluttershy.

“Wow look at Rainbow dash’s kid!” A group of jerks started to tease. They came over towards me and started staring at us. I wanted to punch them all for the way they were looking at me.

“She’s not mine! Her wings are cool enough, but I won’t have a pink foal!” I fought setting her down. She started flying towards the group of pegasi. “Minnie!” I called feeling my heart skip a beat. Rarity would FLIP if she saw this.

“Hey look at this kid. Let’s see how well she can fly.” One of them laughed tossing the foal around like a ball. They acted like she was just a possession or something!

“Put her down! She was like JUST born!” I yelled. They didn’t listen, and the only thing louder than their laughs were her screams.

“Let’s send her back to Ponyville then.” One of them laughed throwing the pegasus down towards the ground. I flew full speed towards her, but they threw the poor kid hard, and she was too scared to flap her wings. Three of the pegasus grabbed onto me, not stopping me, but sure holding me back. I couldn’t see the foal anymore, and I started freaking out.

“What kinda freaks are you guys!?” I asked starting to beat them with my hoofs. They all scrambled and I flew down towards the ground. I looked everywhere, and I was relieved I didn’t see a splattered foal, but worried that she was nowhere to be found. “Minnie!” I yelled flying around in circles around the...Everfree forest. There’s a foal in the most dangerous place in Equestria!

Sweetie Belle’s POV

I got called home early from my first day back because Rarity said there was an emergency. My sister is a big drama queen, but I think something is seriously wrong, because no one would tell me what happened. I galloped into the boutique and Rarity was standing there crying waterfalls with my foal smushed into her chest.

“Rarity what’s wrong?” I asked having to rip my foal away from my hysterical sister. She pulled me back with my daughter now in my arms.

“Minnie’s GONE!” She screamed falling onto the floor and rolling around. “GONE! GONE! GONE!” She yelled in different tones.

“What!? What do you mean she’s gone?!” I asked running around the boutique.

“I mean she flew off! She and those giant wings of hers flew to cloudsdale!”

“Well someone could find her right?!”

“Who!? The only pony I’m friends with there is Rainbowdash and she detests foals!

“Maybe we can ask Fluttershy to-” Before I could finish my quick thought Rainbowdash burst through the door.

“You guys gotta come with me!” She said pulling us. “I can’t find Minnie, but she’s somewhere in the Everfree Forest!” She told us as she continued to pull. I handed my little Pearl to Rarity and darted across ponyville. I heard Rarity yelling for me to come back, but I didn’t listen. I need to find my baby.

Fluttershy’s POV

I was standing outside my house and minding my own business. I was picking flowers and playing with the small animals until I heard a tiny scream and a crying. I looked up and saw a foal dropping from the sky!

My poor little cousin. I held Minnie tightly trying to silence and quiet her screams. She was so shaken up, and she looked hurt. He poor little wing was bent! I started crying too, because she was so injured. Who would harm a sweet little innocent foal? I know Shadow would be killing someone if he knew his little foal was tossed from a cloud, but when he got bailed out of jail, he told me he wouldn’t return. I’m just going to take Minnie to him, and hope Rarity won’t hurt me...

I knocked on Shadow’s door. He opened it, and he seemed pretty happy. The happiest I’ve seen him since he was with Sweetie. It faded and went into shock when he saw Minnie.

“Is..is that...is she?” He couldn’t speak. He’d never seen Minnie or Pearl before. “She’s..beautiful.” He was almost breathless. I let him hold her and his grin returned. “What’s all the fuss about?” He asked frowning when he saw her crying so bad.

“She hurt her wing. I think somepony hurt her!” His jaw dropped and he got an angry face.

“Who?” He growled looking at her. “She’s perfect, and anyone who hurts her is gonna die! They can send me back to jail, I don’t care!” He started yelling.

“Calm down.” I begged quietly behind my hoofs. “Please...” He took a deep breath and set his daughter on the ground.

“Look at those things. My little girl’s got some serious wings.” He laughed a little. “One of them is bent, but daddy’ll fix it.” He said picking her back up when he saw she couldn't fly.”

“Oh no Shadow I have to-” He shut the door. “Take her home...”
