Anon-A-Miss: A New Family

The next morning, Luna went to check on Sunset, who was still fast asleep in her bed. The educator sat down on the girl's bed and lovingly ran her hand through Sunset's hair, gently combing through the strands.

Sunset awoke to finding her head on Luna's lap as she felt a hand in her hair, gently gliding through it.

"L-Luna? W-What are you doing?" Sunset slurred tiredly, wanting to go back to sleep. Dealing with Anon-A-Miss had taken a lot out of her.

The educator smiled softly to the tired girl, smiling a maternal and motherly smile. Luna loved Sunset dearly as if she had carried her in her womb. Luna wanted to adopt the girl and be the mother she would need.

"I'm taking care of you, Sunset. I found you crying on a bench in Canterlot Park yesterday. I know that Anon-A-Miss was the reason. I am sorry I did not do anything beforehand to assist you. From now on, I will help figure out who it is and clear your name. Why didn't you come to me or Celestia about it, though?" Luna asked softly, still running her fingers through the girl's hair to keep her relaxed.

Luna and Sunset would have one-on-one conversations weekly regarding the bacon-haired teen's mental health. Over time, Luna had started to feel strong maternal instincts and motherly love for Sunset. Luna desired to be a parent one day, and with Sunset having nobody to take care of her it was almost like a perfect match.

"I didn't deserve it." Sunset sniffed and looked away from her vice-principal, shame, regret and guilt behind her eyes. Deep down, she felt she didn't deserve love and that she wasn't wanted. Sunset had multiple bruises from attacks caused by other students.

"Oh, Sunset, my sweet baby girl. You deserve so much. You deserve love and to have a family that loves you. If you are willing, I and my girlfriend Chrysalis would like to adopt you as our daughter. Would you like us to adopt you and take care of you as your mothers?" Luna asked sweetly, pressing soft kisses to Sunset's forehead.

"Y-You want me?" Sunset whimpered. For her entire life, she'd been alone. She'd always been jealous of everyone else simply because they had a family. The main reason she originally wanted power was because she was seeking attention. She wanted praise, love and attention. The most selfless reason of all.

"Of course I do, sweetie. You are very special to me. You have been like a daughter to me and I love you like my own, baby girl. I always will. You will always have a home here with me and Chrysalis. We will always love you, sweet girl, no matter what." Luna cooed, pulling the girl into her arms as Sunset sobbed.

It broke Luna's heart to hear her baby girl cry and sob. Everything maternal in her screamed to protect and love Sunset. The girl was hurt by Anon-A-Miss, due to her friends, well, former friends betraying her.

"C-Can I call you M-Mom? You've been like a mother to me." Sunset admitted, snuggling up against Luna as the educator began to gently scratch her back. Luna hummed lovingly into Sunset's ear.

The two stayed like that for a while. Soon, Sunset calmed down and hugged Luna, wanting to be held. Luna returned the hug, pulling the girl's head to her chest. Sunset could hear Luna's heartbeat which subconsciously soothed her. The two went downstairs as they sat on the couch.

Luna took notice of how Sunset was. The girl still looked a bit tired. Sunset could take a nap if she wanted to.

"Baby girl, I can tell you're still a bit tired. Would you like to take a nap for a bit? I'll be here with you." Luna offered lovingly. Sunset nodded as Luna quickly got up and went to grab a blanket and pillow for her new daughter to use. Luna returned to the couch as Sunset laid her head over the pillow as she straightened her body out to get comfortable.

Luna got up off the couch to let Sunset sleep. The new mother bent down and kissed her little girl's forehead softly. She then sat on the couch opposite to the left of the one Sunset was sleeping on. Luna watched the TV as she would glance at Sunset to make sure she was still asleep.
