A New Start

Chapter 3: Meet your grandson

It was a rough start for Twilight and Rarity, but they never gave up and kept pushing forward for their son. When they were on the way home to ponyville they asked her friends for help, Stardust knew what she wanted help with and spoke up. "I'll have your parent's brought to ponyville, and don't worry I won't tell them why" Stardust said to them in a quiet voice, cause Earth Wind was sleeping in Rarity's arms while hugging the plushie.

What shocked every pony was Pinkie Pie was quiet until Twilight told her she could talk. "Can I throw a meet your grandson party for your parent's, and it will be just them and Rarity sister's if I can" Pinkie said to them, and they told her yes then got right to work on the plans. When she was done with the plans for the party she let Twilight and Rarity look at, Rarity asked Pinkie if she would hold Earth Wind while they looked at the plans.

Earth Wind woke up and looked at Pinkie and smiled and bopped her on the nose, Pinkie was careful while holding him in her arms. "Wow Pinkie Pie you are good with foals, hey Twilight would mind if I brought my foal Feather Dust over one time for a play date?" Rainbow Dash said to Twilight for her, cause her foal was at home in ponyville with coltfriend Big Mac.

"Yes Rainbow Dash that would be a good idea, and you could all come when we introduce Earth Wind to our parents." Twilight said to them all, that's when a knock came at the cabin of the train. It was Stardust Judgement with some coffee and a flesh bottle of milk for Earth Wind.

"Thought you all would love a coffee to drink, and for you little colt did you want some milk." Stardust Judgement said to Earthwhile holding the bottle out to him, after he handed him the bottle of milk and turned to leave Earth and started to cry. "What's wrong little one, did you want me to feed the bottle to you." he asked Earth Wind, held the bottle in one hand and reached out with the other, Stardust bent down, picked him up and fed him the bottle.

When he was done, he gave him back to Twilight and left quietly. Twilight looked down to see that he left quietly, Earth Wind was sleeping hanging on to the bottle. The rest of the train ride was a good one, all their friends had a turn holding Earth Wind. When they got to ponyville there was one thing forgotten, how to get to the castle of friendship without Earth Wind being seen. "Don't worry my old student, we got that covered." Celestia said when they saw a carriage there so they could get her son home, he woke up and was looking around.

"Thank you Celestia for that carriage, but hope we have to get him home and down for a nap." Twilight said to Celestia, they got in the carriage with no problem. Rarity saw the look of worry in her eyes, when they were moving Rarity held him and hummed a tune so he would go to sleep. "Rarity thank you for holding him, when we get home Pinkie pie can go set up his crib." Twilight asked her, and she nodded yes and was gone.

Spike was at the castle with Sweetie Belle when Pinkie showed up, they never seen her move so quick. "Sweetie you have to go back to Rarity shop and take Spike with you, as for me I was given a job that needs to be done." Pinkie said and the two of them left without question. Twilight and the rest of their friends showed up and a sleeping foal in Rarity's arms, Pinkie showed them the room and they loved it. Pinkie Pie told them she was going to get on making the cake for their parents when they got there later in the week, Rarity put Earth in the crib with his plushie and covered him up.

"Stardust can you get them here in two days, so we can have some time alone with our son please" Rarity asked him, he nodded yes and left with his wife. Earth woke up a couple of hours later and saw that he was alone, Rarity walked in to check on him and saw he was awake. A smell was in the air that she knew what had to be done, she took him to the changing table and gave him a new diaper and a new outfit to wear. Twilight walked and saw Rarity changing him and when she was done Twilight walked up to her. "You want to tell him while I put these in the laundry." Rarity said to her.

Earth looked at Twilight and reached out with one of his hands and booped her on the nose, she just was smiling now she had her son in her arms. When Spike got back from hanging out with Sweetie, he saw Rarity come out of the laundry room. "Rarity, what can you tell me why Pinkie had me and Sweetie leave earlier?" Spike asked her, all she told him was to follow her and be quiet, when they got to the room Twilight was in he was shocked, his jaw dropped to the ground when he saw the foal in her arms. "Is that why you guys had to go to the empire, cause he is a cute little guy." Spike said and got Earth attention, Spike walked forward to him and got his nose booped when he got close enough.

"You are not to say a word to Sweetie Belle, is going to find out in two days when her parents get here with mine Spike." Twilight said to him and he nodded to her, then he asked if he could hold him. He sat down in a chair to hold him, when Earth was in his arms he yawned and was going to sleep. They looked at him and all smiled as he got comfortable in Spike arms, Rarity told them she was going to make some clothes for him to wear and left for her shop.

That night Spike said he would sleep on Earth so they could get some sleep. Spike rolled out a sleeping bag and was getting ready when Twilight came into the room. "Spike thank you for doing this for us, and tomorrow morning Rarity will be here then I'll be with him in the afternoon." Twilight said to Spike and he just nodded, he told her he was going to go buy Earth a gift tomorrow anyway.

It was the next morning when Rarity came in and saw Spike rolling up his sleeping bag, Rarity went to her son and woke him up. " Time to get up my son" Rarity said to Earth Wind slowly picking him up and over to the change table, when she was done she took him to the kitchen for breakfast. Twilight was there having a coffee when Rarity was coming in the kitchen, she got up and went to give him a hug while Rarity was getting his food ready.

"Did you sleep well my little one." Twilight said looking at her son, and he was just looking around. Rarity came back with the food and a bowl, Twilight put him in a high chair then left, Rarity put the bowl in front of Earth Wind then filled it. When she fed him some of the apple sauce and wiped his face clean they went to her work room at the castle, when they got there she placed Earth Wind in the playpen she had set up by Spike.

Earth wind just looked around the room and crawled to the edge of the crib and patted the side of the crib, Rarity saw this and came back over to him. "You like your mommy's work room with all the colours in it, but look what I got for you." Rarity said as she gave him his plushie with a cape on it, Earth just hugged it and watched his mommy go back to work.

It was some time later when Luna showed up for her fitting and Ulfirc was with her, Rarity put her finger to her mouth then pointed to the playpen. They both looked down to see a sleepy Earth covered in a blanket hugging his plushie, Ulfric nodded and walked out of the room to make sure the guards here stayed quiet. "How is life with Earth Wind going, good I hope and if he is up when before I leave can I hold him?" Luna said to Rarity as she handed her the dress she made for Luna, she thought about it and told her yes. Ulfric came back in when Rarity told him thought the door he could back in the room, Luna was holding Earth Wind in her arms. "Aurora can foal sit for you if you need a sitter if you two want a night out, cause she wants to earn some bits for a trip." Luna said to Rarity, Ulfric came over to Luna and tickled Earth Wind tummy until he wet his diaper and started to cry.

"Don't worry little guy, I'll change you and you will be like it never happened." Ulfric said and took him to get changed, Rarity and Luna followed to watch him and see what would happen. They smiled at how careful he was when he finished changing him, Then he gently picked him up and rocked him back to sleep. When some guards were walking by and talking loudly it awoke Earth Wind crying, and he was about to go give them a piece of his mind when Rarity told her would. "See you got a mommy who strong, but you don't need to see what she will do to those guards." Ulfric said to him, Earth just grabbed Ulfric's thumb and started to suck on it and drift off to sleep.

Rarity came back to Twilight with her and the two guards, they were saying sorry until they saw Earth Wind sleeping in Ulfric's arms. "Would you look at that, looks like you got a friend Ulfric." Twilight said to him as she walked up to him, Ulfric just looked down at Earth and smiled. Twilight gently took Earth in her arms and Ulfric's thumb came out slowly so as not to wake up Earth Wind, Rarity offered him a washcloth to wipe off his thumb and Ulfric took the wash cloth. "Looks like he had a big morning, and these two will help you Rarity for the rest of the day." Twilight said while holding a sleeping Earth Wind in her arms, Luna saw she was about to leave and tapped her on her shoulder, Twilight turned around and saw her hold out his plushie to her. Twilight nodded thanks to her and went to the library, when she got there Spike was setting up another playpen with a changing table nearby.

"Can I stay and help you with him while working, and think of it this way you can get more work done if I stay" Spike said to her, but she knew he wanted to play with him and watch him. Twilight nodded yes and she went to her desk but noticed Spike made sure he was in her line of sight, Earth woke up to see Spike sitting near him with a ball and crawled over to him patting the ball to get Spike to play with him. They rolled the ball to each other for a bit until Celestia and Stardust Judgement showed up, Celestia went over to the two of them and bent down waving at Earth Wind.

He crawled over to her and touched her hand and smiled at her, Spike rolled the ball to Celestia to get her to play with him. "Do you want me to play with you?" Celestia asked her as she rolled the ball to him and was happy some pony new to play with. This went on for about a few minutes until Twilight asked Celestia to come see the work she asked her to do, he was sad that she was walking away and Stardust saw this.

"Hello do you want to be pick up little one, or did you want to go for a little fly around the room" Stardust said to him as he looked at Earth Wind, then he clapped at the second thing he said to him and try to flap his little wings but could get off the ground. "Twilight do you mind if I fly him around the, room for a bit cause when you called Celestia over there he was a bit sad" Stardust said to her and she nodded yes and stopped her work to watch them, as they were fly in the room he hung on tight to Stardust and giggled as they were flying.

When they came down he was asleep in Stardust arms, what made it all the cuter was Earth was hugging his arm like it was a plushie. "Looks like he had a good time with you, that and he thinks you are his plushie makes it super cute." Twilight said to Stardust as he gave Earth Wind as he shrugged in Twilight's arms, then looked at Stardust again and he knew what was coming. "Can you have our parents here for noon please, so they can meet there grandson please." Stardust told her yes that they would be here for that time, Celestia gave the sleeping foal a kiss on the forehead and the two of them left.

It was dinner time and they all sat down for dinner, Spike grabbed the spot by Earth Wind to sit by so he could feed him, Rarity along with Twilight both thought this was nice of him. "Ok little guy here comes the wonderbolt open wide." Spike said to Earth and he opened wide for Spike, Twilight looked on with a smile on her face as Spike fed her son. When dinner was done Spike picked him up and burped him, then he smelled a fowl coming from him. "Looks like you need a change along with a bath, I'll do it for you two cause I find him cute" Spike said as he took him to the bathroom to clean him, Rarity turned to twilight and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"We need to get ready for tomorrow and need our sleep, and I think Spike would sleep in Earth Winds room for the night." Rarity said to Twilight as they walked to the bathroom, when they got there Spike had just took out Earth from the bath and was putting on him. Twilight walked over to him and got Earth in his sleeper for the night, Rarity smiled at her and hoped everything went well tomorrow.

Twilight held Earth till he fell asleep in her arms sucking on his thumb, she started to walk to the door but Rarity looked at her wanting to carry their son to his room. "Rarity you carry him to his crib and tuck him, Spike I'll teleport your bed in his room for now hope you do not mind? '' Twilight said to Rarity then asked Spike the quick question, Rarity carried him to his room and Spike could not be happier about what was said.

"Ok you two go and sleep, I'll watch over him in the night so bed now." Spike said to the two of them and pointed to the door, after they left Spike got ready for bed himself. A few hours later when Earth Wind woke up crying and that got Spike up as well, he walked up to the crib then picked him up. "What's wrong little one, you don't need a change so you must want something to eat." Spike said to him then heard his tummy growl, so he took him the kitchen and got him a bottle. When Earth wind was done he got burned, Spike put him back in his crib and got a story book to read to him back to sleep. "how about I read you the three little pony's." Spike said to him and began to read the story, when he was done reading Earth was out cold sleeping so Spike went back to bed himself because he needs some energy himself as well then closed his and went to sleep.

Morning came and Rarity was getting dressed, when Twilight got out of the bathroom and was ready for their parents. "I'll go get Earth up and Spike as well, cause they should up by now." Twilight said to Rarity as she left their room, on the way to Earth room she heard pop behind her. When she turned around to see it was Luna and Ulfric standing there, she waved to them to follow her. "I'm going to go get Earth ready for today, you are welcomed to come with me to get him ready." Twilight said to them and they nodded then followed her to his room, Luna saw the little foal was up and sucking on his thumb looking out the bars.

Spike walked out of the bathroom and looked like he barely got any sleep, waved at them as he put his dress shirt on. "What happen to you spike, come on you and me will go get some coffee to wake you up." Ulfric said to him and they left for the kitchen, Earth Wind stood up in his crib looking at twilight the pat his free hand on the edge of it. Twilight walked over to the crib and picked him up, Luna got a cleaner deeper than a clean outfit for him to wear. "Some pony needs a clean diaper, are you ready to meet your grandparents today." Twilight asked him while taking him to the bathroom to give him a bath, Luna followed behind her and started the water to make sure is was the right safe for him then she put some bubbles in the water for him.

"Do you like the bubbles in the water, and you are a little cutie too" Luna said to him when he was in the water, while in the water he was happy to play in the bubbles and put some on Luna 's nose. "Ok it's time to get you out and dressed, your grandparents will be here soon." Twilight said to her son as she was drying him off, Luna handed her the diaper then the outfit when she needed it.

When Ulfric came back with coffee for him and the two mare's, they were sitting on Spike's bed and Earth saw Ulfric then hold his arms up to be picked up. "Here you two go coffee, for the little guy here a bottle of milk." Ulfric said while going to pick him, Earth wind saw the bottle and reached out for it.Ulfric handed him the bottle and started to drink his milk. Ulfric offered to watch him so Twilight could be there when her parents got there. "So little guy you are ready to meet your grandparents, cause I know they will be happy about meeting you." Ulfric said to Earth Wind looking at him, Earth was patting on chest plate when and smiled.

"Twilight sweetheart, why did you call the two of us here, but we are glad to come and I see your friends are here too." Night Light said to his daughter as he hugged her, Spike came in the room looking a bit more awake. Twilight's mother came in with Shining and Cadence but she looked different, Rarity's parents came in with Sweetie with smile's on their faces.

"Rarity, can I ask what's up with calling us here, that's why you had Stardust get us and Twilight parents?" Sweetie asked her sister as every pony was getting ready to sit down, Twilight sent Spike to go check on Ulfric. That's when Rainbow Dash showed up with Feather Dust and sat down with her, that is when in a flash of light the Shining family showed up.

"We did not want to miss this, and we want to add to it if it's ok sis" Shining said to her and she just nodded to him, that is when Spike showed at the door waving for Twilight to come over to him. When she got there seen Earth Wind sleeping in Ulfric arms, then looked at Spike, after she told him to go tell every pony to sit down and be quiet. Ulfric handed the sleep foal over to her and went in a head of her, Rarity stood up and started to speak.

"Friends and family, me and Twilight have a special surprise every pony turns to the door please" Rarity said as she walked to the door and opened it. Both family's eyes went wide with surprise, as Twilight walked up to them with a sleeping foal in her arms. "This is your grandson and Sweetie your nephew Earth wind" she said as he shifted in Twilight, the five pony's came close but quietly to sleep there new foal to the family.

"Can I hold him sis? I'll sit down and be very careful, and will be quiet to." Sweetie said to her sister while she pulled a chair closer for her to sit down in, Twilight let her hold him just as he was waking with a cute yawn. "Hi there little one I'm your aunt Sweetie." Sweetie said to him while holding him, Earth Wind reached out for her hand then was looking at her thumb and put it in his mouth.

The two families looked at this and smiled warmly at the site, Shining looked at Twilight hoping she would let him add to the news she just nodded yes. "Mom, dad you are going to be happy with more new Cadence is with the foal and she is done any day now." Shining said to them, then Cadance dropped her spell that she had in place.
