The Unusual Familyby PurpleArtistChaptersThe Happiest dayHaving ChildrenUnusual ColtWinterTeenhood is a different problemMemory LaneThe Empty Nest SyndromeParent's dayThe Happiest dayIn Canterlot Bit Counter is with his mare friend Booker where the dark blue unicorn with a gold bit with a money counter behind it he sat down next to his girlfriend in a park. The Eighteen year old due to they been dating for Three years he asked her hoof in marriage. She shed several tears where in her mind she was saying not to do it but her gut was saying yes so she told him yes she'll marry him but his father works for Princess Celestia but asked the princess for a small favor to have his son and fiancée to get married in Canterlot castle which was a major yes. In Canterlot in a room the light pink unicorn was looking into a mirror where her mother was fitting her for the wedding dress where it been in her family for generations but her mom told her that she'll pass the dress down to her daughter if they have one. She just said "Hey mom i used the bathroom this morning but well I'm not on my menstruation i think i might be pregnant. I believe that i am pregnant!" she said that she might be pregnant due to she isn't on her period. in another room his father asked if he's okay where he told his father that his heart is racing but he and his special somepony are going to get married but he's worrying about if there rushing it or something but his father calmed him down. The eighteen year old did calm down but took a big sip of cold water out of the glass but made sure there was nothing on his tux that his father wore in his wedding day twenty- three years ago but he then went out to a room. He stayed there where after awhile the doors opened where Booker and her bridesmaid walked with her down the red carpet but stood in front of her fiancé where the two smiled where the princess asked if they're ready to love and cherish each other for the rest of there lives where they said simultaneous "I Do". Before the princess could say "You may now kiss the bride" the two were half a minute ahead of them but in the reception the two danced but snuck off too play "seven minutes in heaven" which lasted from seven minutes to a hour where when they came out his face was all red due to her lipstick. They had there wedding photo's, ate cake, and danced but his father told them some good news and that is he got them a house so they can live there but Bit Counter told him he shouldn't have but he just told them congrats before walking off. He asked on what he means by "Congrats" where his newlywed wife told him that she isn't on her Period where she thinks that she's 100% sure she's pregnant. They moved in to there new house together but the place was furnished where they love there modest and livable suburban ranch house. thoughtful landscaping, a separate garage, and a large, uniquely-shaped deck complete the middle class dream where they chose there bedroom which there's three smaller bedrooms where they can start breeding right away. A few days later Bit Counter came home saying "Honey I'm Home" like a 50's TV show husband announcing that he's home where he heard sobbing where he found her in the kitchen crying. He asked what's wrong where she showed him a pregnancy test which it's negative where he never seen her so excited to be a mother only for her to realize she isn't going to have a foal. For two weeks the couple tried to have a baby but every time they would and she would do a pregnancy test it was always negative so she went to the hospital to see if there was something wrong with her or him but she was devastated to find out she was sterile where she's infertile. Bit Counter asked the doctor to get him tested to see if he's sterile or not so the doctor did give him a test. The unicorn doctor left the room but she cried onto her husband getting his black casual suit wet where he told her it'll be fine where he got an idea. He then got tested and found out he's also sterile as well meaning neither of them can have foals where Bit Counter went and told his family about that he and his wife can't have children and she told her family that she can't bear foals and her husband can't get her pregnant. Her family asked if she could get an artificial insemination but she told them that she's sterile as well meaning neither of the two can have children. In there bedroom Bit Counter sat in the doorframe not knowing on how to comfort his wife who she was excited thinking she was pregnant but learning the hard truth that neither of them can have foals really devastated both of them but devastated her the most. He walked over to her carefully and kissed her on the head telling her everything will be fine and they'll work there way around it where they battled more worse situations like how there parents dislike each other but looked what happened they buried the hatchet and let bygones be bygones. He was sad seeing his wife with her heart shattered and crying where she always dreamed of having a family when she got to her 30's but that won't be happening to anytime soon or later. She said while sobbing "Our parents are expecting Grand foals and what are we going to tell them?" she said asking on what they are going to do when there parents ask on there grand foals but Bit Counter told her that they already told them that there both infertile where when she's sad she forgets about stuff that's recent like them telling there parents that they can't have foals. In his mind "I got a idea! I'll go adopt a foal or a colt or filly!" he said in his mind that he'll go adopt a baby pony if not a colt or filly. He just walked over to her and kissed her on the head but told her that everything will be ok but she cried on him where she told him about on how excited she was thinking she was pregnant but not but he tried to calm her down but he went and made her lunch. He left a note saying he'll take good care of her until she feels better but he isn't a good cook or homemaker but the cobalt blue unicorn with black hair tried to do more things at once and not balance his home life to work life to husband life and tried to tackle all at once. She sadly ate it but he was gone before she could thank him for the lunch. The pink unicorn then did the dishes even though her husband would do them when he got back from work but the went to the bathroom where she looked in a mirror where her chocolate brown hair was all in lines so she brushed her hair but wiped the tears from her face. She looked into her reflection looking at her beautiful blue eyes but put on her necklace she wears for good luck but asked on why she still wears but told herself that she had it since she was eight years old but that was that besides she aced all of her tests back in late elementary school, and throughout middle and high school. Having ChildrenWhile doing dishes Booker was doing dishes while humming where she's heartbroken where for two weeks every night the two had a romantic time to get pregnant but she was sad and depressed when she learned that she was infertile. She stopped doing dishes but started to make lunch where she heard the door open to see her husband with a six year old stallion pegasus, four year old filly unicorn and a baby male where he told her on that this is his plan. She galloped over to them and hugged them where the filly was excited but the six year old wasn't saying that she won't ever be his mother but seen him holding a moderate purple alicorn foal. Her heart melted but the baby was sleeping but he carefully passed him over to her saying that he needs to get back to work. The filly was happy to eat the lunch she made on the stove but the pegasus one did but she just placed a baby bottle in the moderate purple alicorn mouth to drink milk but after feeding the baby she smiled at the foal. Hours later her husband came home with a box which in their bedroom. He put up the crib where at night Bit Counter asked his wife on how was her day where she told him that the pegasus one he been difficult but fine. Bit Counter told her that well their parents were murdered by Timberwolves and he grew up with his parents but he'll warm up to them eventually where he may not like them now, tomorrow or next month but he'll warm up too them one day. They kissed, went to bed, they cuddled up but in the morning she got up early where she went into the kitchen and made breakfast where when almost done she called them down where her husband and adoptive daughter got up and went down to the kitchen. Soon the pegasus got up and went down where his sister told him good morning but he didn't say anything so Bit Counter hit the table and told him to tell his sister good morning but he told them no where he isn't there parents. Bit Counter used his magic and took him into his and Booker's bedroom but heard slapping sounds where Bit Counter asked if he liked that where the pegasus told him that he hates him. He then left the house to go to school where Booker asked the filly unicorn on her name where she told them it's Blue, her older brother name is Base and her baby brother name is Purple Artist. She told her adoptive mother that she loves her cooking and it reminds her of her deceased mother who was a loving pegasus where she explained on how a four year old could that she's a mix that her father was a unicorn and mother a pegasus. They were sympathetic for them for losing their parents where no colt or filly should lose their parents at such a young age. They gave her some bits and she went to school like her older brother but they heard Purple crying so Booker got up and went upstairs and gave him the baby bottle again which he sucked on where she was happy. Bit Counter never seen his wife with a big old smile on her face where he knows she's happy but he gotten use to her singing at night where she would sing Purple an alibi to make him go to sleep when it was either nighttime or when he was fussy. He'd seen her without him nearby in a stroller or somewhere within her reach of a hoof. While out at lunch he was sitting on a park bench where his wife stopped by where it's the same bench where he proposed to her. He asked how he had been treating her where she told him that the baby had been keeping her on her hooves but she's still up to the challenge but they heard him coo as well where he's trying to get some butterflies. That melted their hearts where she kissed him. She thanked him for the children where now there busy where they shared another kiss. A pony cleared their throat where they both looked at the pony where he asked if the baby belonged to them where he stuck out a hoof with Purple Artist wrapped around it where they both apologized to the unicorn about it. The Pony told them to keep him on a leash or he's going to beat their baby to death. They went home but talked on how rude that unicorn was unknown to them on that unicorn hates children and doesn't plan on having any in his life. Turns out raising a baby is more energy then they expected but they were happy even though they didn't conceive them but they loved them as if they were their own. While sleeping a light hit Booker in her eye so she got up where she was tired but seen second things that Bit Counter he was playing with baby Purple and the 2nd thing is that he's using his magic to iron his suit where she left but he heard a click where she's using her magic to hold a camera. She told him that she never expected this of seeing him do both play with a baby and doing domestic household cleaning job, not adding he already made tomorrow's dinner that just needs to be re-heated. A few weeks later while on the floor playing peak a boo Booker she felt something off so she looked at her husband who was frozen in place. She asked what's wrong where he just said shockingly "I... I... I've... I've been drafted!" he said shockingly that he been drafted where the eighteen year old is going off to war. They kissed but in her thoughts that she wants help to raise the kids so she asked her mom and dad but there busy but help when they can but her in laws won't. Her In-laws won't due to the kids aren't a mix of cobalt blue & pink or either or saying she banged another stallion behind their son or her husband's back. She tried to explain to them that she's infertile and couldn't conceive a foal even if she had the magic to do so not even her brother's in law would help but her sister in law would due to she's infertile like Booker so she helped when she could. While getting a letter a month later she fell down and said "This is the letter i wasn't expecting he's dead! My husband is dead!" she said in her mind thinking the letter she got means her husband is dead. The letter from her husband says that he's doing fine but hates the heat of the desert there in and don't know on where the enemy is and when they do find the enemy they blend in easily with the civilian population. They both always wrote about how much they love each other and how he can't wait until he can come home and see them again and help her to raise them. Unusual ColtFour years later. In the kitchen while stirring cake mix together Booker felt a tug on her tail where she looked around where it's Purple where she asked on what he wants where he wants where he just stuck his two frontal hooves up. She bent over and picked him up placing him onto the tiled counter where after she got done mixing she took out the wooden spoon and poured it into a bake sheet. She gave him the wooden where she kissed him on the head but the moderate purple alicorn started to lick the wooden spoon where she just chuckled. She wondered on why she deserves such a cute colt like him which she wondered in her head but she went off to see what Base and Blue are up too where Base is almost in his pre teen hood and Blue is just playing with toys. Back in the kitchen she yelled at Purple where he had his face in the baking sheet eating the chocolate mix but his face was covered in chocolate cake mix. She was mad but giggled instead where she just got the dish rag wet to wipe off his face but he looked sad but apologized but she told him not to worry she isn't going to hurt him. The light pink unicorn just kissed her adoptive son on the cheek then got him down so he could go play. It wasn't long until Purple got back to her where he's being chased by Base but Purple ran to his adoptive mother where she shielded Purple where of him accidentally knocking down his toy bricks (like Lego's) doesn't need to be violent in retaliation. Purple even apologized for it but Base told her to keep him away from Base or he's going to get hurt where he never wanted a baby brother or a baby sister. After Base left to go back to his room but she heard crying but her left behind leg gotten squeezed where she looked behind her where it's Purple Artist crying due to Base always blames him for everything that goes wrong. He also still blames Purple for the death of there parents is his fault where if he wasn't here (aka born and not conceived) then they would still be alive. She calmed him down which on that telling him it'll all be ok then made him his favorite food which is lasagna. The two smelled lasagna baking so the older brother and sister came thinking it's dinner time but just seen there baby brother sitting on the counter eating a slice of cake. Blue asked for a piece of cake so the adoptive mother and adoptive mother duo got her a slice of chocolate cake and a plate but Base asked for a slice where Booker said "No! Only good ponies in this household get a slice of cake and your behavior for the past four years the answer still no!" she said to him. He told her on that's not fair where she told him that blaming his baby brother for everything that goes wrong isn't fair he doesn't deserve it. Base countered argued that Purple does deserve it because if it wasn't for him then they wouldn't be here in Canterlot today where they would be in there small town where they were born at but Booker finally told him to go back to his room he's grounded for three months. He told her on that's not fair then used his wing to threw the dark blue ceramic plate hitting Purple who was focusing on eating the slice of cake but Booker comforted him before he cried telling him everything is ok but he just did a little sniffle but went back to eating his cake. The front door opened where Bit Counter returned where he asked on how the kids been where He got to see Purple for the first time since when he was only a couple of months old now he's 4 year's old but Bit Counter asked on how they been where Booker told her up and down but can't keep Base from verbally every day almost every hour of the day and Little Purple he and his heart can't stand it. At night the two were cuddling up with each other but they heard Purple calling for Booker by yelling "Mom!" so the two got up thinking he's having another nightmare but when they opened the bedroom door they seen Base beating up his baby brother but Bit Counter pulled him off and took him into his and Booker's bedroom. Booker sat on Purple's bed having him in her frontal two legs telling him everything is ok but after Bit Counter got done spanking him with a leather belt Booker brought young Purple into the bedroom and had him to sleep with them where Base won't hurt Purple if mom and dad well there adoptive mom and dad are around him so he wouldn't get hurt. In the morning Blue asked on where's Purple where Base told her that he hopes he ran off but Bit Counter said "Boy don't make me come over there!" he said to Base sternly. Soon they heard hoofsteps where they seen Purple come where Booker lit up her magic where there's a dark pink magic aurora pulled out a chair and she told him to come and eat breakfast but he just placed on his saddle bags and walked to school. Blue asked on what's with him where Base told his sister that he doesn't care and hope something bad happens to him on that's what he been wishing for the entire time but Booker reached over the table and slapped the living daylight out of him and told him "Like it or not he's your brother! Show him some love like it or not!" she told him to like her brother like it or not. Booker then said "Yeah honey this what i been dealing with while you were away." she said to her husband on what she been dealing with on while he was away in the war. The two then went to school and Bit Counter went back to work in a office where he wondered on how the kids are doing. At the Elementary-Junior High mix Base slammed Purple into the concrete wall and started to beat up his baby brother but a teacher broke them up but in the nurse's office the nurse called Broker who was home humming while doing dishes when she got the call so she went to the school. In the principal office the principal told her that it would be easier for them if they were given back to there distance family members who'll take better care of them where Bit Counter asked on who the adoption place tracked all of there distance family and all other family members down where there dead or too old to take care of children. "Who's going to take care of them there father's parents? There racial to pegasus and well grandson is a pegasus and other grandson is an alicorn. There mother's parents there racial to unicorns and there granddaughter who's a unicorn and grandson is a alicorn!" Bit Counter said on who there grandparents hate each other (father's parents hate pegasus and mother parent's hate unicorn's). In the nurse's office they were able to see Purple who was holding his chest but moaning in pain where his adoptive parents asked on how he's doing where the nurse told him that he got several cracked ribs and hurt badly but besides that he's in pain. They took him home and Booker had a close eye on him but didn't leave his side but when Base got home he got it then of both of them spanking him Bit Counter with his leather belt and Booker with a wooden paddle. After Purple got better the two hardly saw him where he would come home late at night where Booker would be worried sick about him where he wouldn't come back until 8:30 to 9:00 PM at night even on school nights. While eating dinner one calm night everything was going so smoothly where it's peaceful but Base ruined it by opening his big mouth and told his baby brother like normal everything that goes wrong it's his fault but Purple used his magic and threw the plate of spaghetti and yelled "FUCK YOU BASE!" before he stormed off to his room which the little colt swore for the first time. Booker she was shocked more hen her husband was when Purple swore at his older brother for the first time in his life. At the door Booker knocked on Purple's bedroom door and asked if she could come in where Purple told her yes where she went in where she went over to him but sat on his bed where she told him it isn't Ok to swear at all where he told her he's sorry but she told him not to do it again where she made herself stern about it. He told her that he knows he shouldn't swear but he won't do it again but Base deserved it where she told him that she knows but let her and dad deal with it. She told him that if Base picks on him he should tell her and she'll deal with it but told him to come back to the kitchen to eat but he told her he isn't hungry. She just got up, went into the kitchen, and made Purple another plate of spaghetti which he ate sadly but she got her plate and ate in his bedroom to add another layer of security and to make him feel safe. In the morning Booker made breakfast again well she does due to she's a housewife but she had two plates in her magic aurora where she went into Purple's bedroom where she gave him a blue ceramic plate which has scrambled eggs with a side of toast and a cup of orange juice. The two ate in peace but talked little but he walked with her to the bathroom so the two could brush there teeth and she kissed him on the forehead and he went off too school. After school Purple was usually the first one home but it was Blue then Base but as the night grew on Booker was worried but Bit Counter went to bed around 9:30 but it was 1:30 AM when there was a knock on the door where Booker opened the door and it was a Canterlot police mare. She asked if he belongs to her where she told the cop that Purple does belong to her where she asked the cop on what happened where the cop told her of an apartment building he was in caught fire and a fire stallion got him out where he was scared to move. She thanked the cop for bringing him home but he went into his bedroom and was scared where Booker went into his room and kissed him on his head but told him to get some sleep where he deserve rest but he told her don't go so she slept with her son so she could add a layer of protection of security or something like that. She doesn't know that Purple wants to avoid his brother but he's starting his adventurous side and starting to adventure more away from home were his mom doesn't want him too thinking it'll be dangerous for the four year old alicorn to adventure into the unknown. WinterIt's winter in Equestria where Booker made hot chocolate for herself, husband, & three adopted children. But in her peaceful and soothing, voice she called the youngest to come over to the table. But young Purple was more interested in watching the snow fall. Booker used her magic to bring him over and placed him into a chair and placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of him. Purple didn't eat it with a spoon but placed his face into it. Booker told him to stop eating like a pig but when he brought his head up Booker giggled. Base shook his head and Bit Counter just told himself that their isn't something right with him. Blue she didn't have a opinion due to well she doesn't care. Booker used a napkin to wipe her son's face but told him to eat like a normal pony with a spoon but he went back to eating it with his face where she just said. "Boys! Boys are more harder to raise than girls." She brought Purple back up where again she wiped his face. She told him to go to brush his teeth and then go to school where the purple alicorn went to do on what she told him to do. At the door, she told him to have a good day at school but the small moderate purple alicorn kissed his mom on the cheek and she gave him a kiss on the forehead telling him to have a good day. Booker then hugged Blue after she brushed her teeth and went to school having to run to catch up to her baby brother. She didn't hug or kiss Base on the forehead because he's the grouchy one and well doesn't do anything good. She then kissed her husband on the mouth where he's wearing a overcoat and she told him to stay warm where he told her to stay cute on how she is. After he left she quickly closed the door to keep the cold air out. She did her domestic duty of cleaning the house but she thought about getting a job but she wants to be here when Purple get's home where she has a special connection with him adopted son. She just listened to the radio on the weather and did the dishes, and vacuumed but hummed when the radio played music but by lunchtime. The front door busted open where it's Blue where she told her that something happened at the school so like a curious mother she went galloping. Only thing she seen was that the Canterlot fire department using warm water to remove Purple's tongue off of the flag pole which his older brother triple dog dared him. But the four-year-old wouldn't do it so he forced his brother to do it. Base used his wings to force Purple to put his tongue onto the frozen flagpole. After school, she was chopping up a carrot where she's making veggie soup but heard the door open but close the door of Base staying in the living room. Blue went into the kitchen to play solitaire, and Purple went to his bedroom so she put the soup on a low simmer so it wouldn't burn or stick to the pot. She slowly opened Purple's door but asked if he's okay but told her he just wanted to be left alone. She walked over to him calmly, sat on his bed where she placed a hoof on him telling him it's ok. She placed him onto her back and carried him into the kitchen where she used her magic and placed him onto the counter. While it was cooking she would let him try a little taste to see if it was ready. After eight different taste's he told her it was good which was good enough for her to turn it off. When her husband arrived they all ate but Purple asked Booker by saying "Mom can i eat in my room?" he asked if he could eat in his bedroom which she told him to go ahead. Bit Counter asked on what's that all about. Booker told him that Base forced his baby brother to put his tongue onto the flagpole and the fire and police departments had to use warm water to get it off without ripping his tongue off. Bit Counter said "Base! I'm getting tired of you always picking on your baby brother! Show him some compassion for Celestia's sake!" Base soon left the table where they wondered where the ice berg blue pegasus was going. They thought he went to go apologize to Purple but after two minutes they heard Purple call for Booker where she went where she walked in on Base attacking Purple again. Booker was about to break it up but Base soon went flying back. Purple all of his adrenaline of anger built up and used a magical surge and had his brother fly back into the wall where the shock and well the other 2 heard it but Bit Counter went to check it out. They saw Purple shaken in fear where he didn't mean to hurt his brother with an angry magical surge. But the two weren't mad at him but happy that he finally put his older brother in his place and showed him that he isn't a pushover anymore. Even though Base was hurt he told Purple that he's a dead pony and tried to attack him but Bit Counter used his magic and carried him into another room where Base yelled, "HE'S A DEAD PONY I'M GOING TO KILL THAT LITTLE SNOT NOSE SON OF A BITCH!". Bit Counter took him into the kitchen and put a entire jar of hot sauce onto Base's tongue and told him that if he swears or harms his baby brother he'll be getting more of the hot sauce and belt or wooden paddle or wooden spoon from mom. Base just used his frontal right leg to kick his adoptive dad in his front left leg where Bit Counter gave him a tanning. The next day Booker was outside where she got the mail but quickly got in where she closed the door and said, "Woo it's cold. Well they said this is suppose to be the coldest winter on record.". She sat in front of the fireplace warming up with a cup of hot chocolate. She went over the mail most of it was bills or junk mail but she just stayed there to stay warm where she stuck out her hooves to stay warm but she then decided to lay in a ball like a kitten and stayed warm. She then felt a light jab on her face. She looked where it's her and Bit Counter's adopted kids looking at her where she quickly looked at the time where it's 3:40 PM where she slept for 3 hours and 10 minutes. She thought she took a cat nap. She got up, yawned, and went into the kitchen and made dinner well made multiple TV dinners. She needs to go to the store but being a housewife, mother, & wife her planner been booked, and having to take Base to baseball practice, Blue to her music lesson, and to keep Purple safe and teach him how to cook, clean & well unknown to her she's actually stripping him of his masculinity and giving him more of a feminine side. After the store after Saturday, Base just shook his head after seeing Purple wearing a pink apron, sitting on the counter and helping Booker bake pie's, cakes, and cupcakes. Base then said "He's turing into a fucking sissy!" He then felt a quick smack where unknown to him his adoptive father was behind him and used his hoof to hit him with the leather part of the belt. Her husband got the mail after that where there's a letter saying that school been canceled for a few days ahead of Heartswarming Break. Base and Blue were happy but Purple had a plastic frosting dispenser in his hooves. To Purple he doesn't care if this makes him less of a stallion but he's happy and if he's happy then his sister is happy but Base wants Purple to be like him. Purple has an friendly side and his friendly side which makes him coward and be afraid and rout from danger. Unknown to him he got an fanaticism side meaning in certain situations Purple will be like his brother and be mean but won't cower unless if his life was in danger. After baking it was 2:00 PM where they all went outside where they had teams where Bit Counter chose Blue and Base to be on his team where it's them versus Booker and Purple but they had fun having a snowball fight but Booker and Purple only played for a hour until they went back in to make dinner. When they came in to eat dinner, Bit Counter told his lovely wife that she does make great food but she said "I didn't make it. It was Purple he made it more then I did when I was warming up. He put out noodles for the lasagna and I showed him how to put it together and he watched it for a hour.". Bit Counter patted Purple on the back for helping mom to make dinner. A few more days passed where it's Heartswarming eve. Blue was singing where the iceberg blue unicorn was singing a Heartswarming song. Base was putting up stockings and Purple was in the kitchen baking cookies with their adoptive mother where Bit Counter was reading. They had some kind of system where Purple used his magic to give the plate with cookie and glass of milk to Blue then Blue would pass it to her brother who would put it on end table next to the Heartswarming tree. But the time was 8:30 PM they all went to bed but while going to their bedrooms Base placed his left wing around Purple out of the kindness of his heart. In the morning Booker turned over onto her back but felt something stand on her belly where she tiredly opened her eyes to see Purple's face in her face. She screamed which got her husband up where he checked the time where it's 7:00 AM on the dot. She asked on what he wants where he scared the pink unicorn. Purple asked if they can open there presents. They got out of bed and went into the living room but Booker used her magic to record it of Purple's 1st Heartswarming as a child and not a foal or toddler. Some of the presents was for them but there was a knock on the door where it's Bit Counter's parents and brothers came, then there was another knock. Booker's mom and dad where they all had a nice breakfast together. Booker and her mother had a small argument. There argument was that Booker should be with the kids and her husband. Booker told her that she's there guest but her mother-in-law wants to help and wants breakfast well wants it to be special where she get's heartburn bad and a lot. They had a good Heartswarming with each other and even though there parents hate each other and only buried the hatchet for there wedding only they didn't argue or get mad but just shared a couple of laughs and had jokes with each other. Teenhood is a different problemThree Years later. In Canterlot it's April 15th, Base's thirteenth birthday. But he really isn't in the mood for playing what he calls 'Foal and Colt's games'. when Booker told him to take his baby brother outside to teach him how to play baseball or any other sports but he told her no calling it "A foal's game." Bit Counter told him to do on what his mother said. Base told him that he would rather see his baby brother die by swimming in corrosive acid. Bit Counter and Booker politely Blue and Purple to go to school. So the Blue and Purple did what they were told to do. Bit Counter and Booker scolded Base on what he said. But they reflected on how they were rebellious to there parents when they started to date and there parents hating each other and hated them when they were dating. They would sneak out at night to date or a little bit more adult like and make serious love but he would have to hide her when she was over at his house and vice versa but when they announced that when they were going to get wed they decided to finally temporarily bury the hatchet. Only for the holidays and when they got married. Bit Counter and Booker kissed at the door, Booker told her husband that lately she been thinking about getting a job. She wants his seal of approval or what he thinks about it. He told her if she wants a job then she can go get one. But to do on what she wants to do. She did her domestic duty of cleaning and planning tonight's dinner. Then she went out and started to apply for a job but her heart was telling her that she belongs home. Especially to be with her adopted pride of joy named Purple Artist but she also wants to have a 2nd income so she won't have to rely on her husband 24/7. She went outside of the house after eating lunch. She was singing in her head but was outside all day but didn't notice until seeing Base come home from middle school. She asked on how was school where he ignored her, walked in, and slammed the front door shut. She told herself that when Blue and Purple get to teen hood then they'll be the same as Base. But unknown that Purple will be the only one who won't let his mood or changes change on who he is. Four days after Base's thirteenth birthday Bit Counter and Booker tried to be friendly to him. They though he is being a bad influence to his baby sister and baby brother but he told them that he doesn't care. On a nice warm Saturday Purple was outside throwing a football with his adoptive father but Base came out, Purple threw the ball but Base got in the way and it hit him. He told Purple hostilely "I'm going to kill you!". Base chased Purple. Bit Counter would tell Base to calm down but Purple then ran inside where Booker told Base to stop chasing his baby brother where what he did was a accident. When they ran around in the kitchen and dining room but when Purple hid behind Booker she said loudly "I SAID STOP!". She's was ticked off at Base where she told him it was a accident. Purple he threw the ball but he walked in it's path. It wasn't Purple's fault where Base wasn't moving when he threw the ball. Purple even told his older brother that he's sorry where Base said mockingly then angrily . "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I'M SORRY DOESN'T FIX EVERYTHING! IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT MOM AND DAD ARE DEAD! IT'S YOUR FAULT WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!" Booker then told Base to apologize to his younger brother. Base told her that on why he meant on what he said where he wishes he didn't have a baby brother and that there parents were still alive. She then used her magic and threw him out of the front door. Her husband asked what the yelling about. Booker told him that she yelled at Base to stop yelling at Purple and stop chasing him. But Base yelled wishing that Purple wasn't born and that there parent's were still alive blaming him that everything that goes wrong. In the laundry room, Bit Counter and Booker found Purple sitting next to the washer where he's deeply sad. They walked over to him where Booker has a special bond with her adoptive son. She was able to cheer him up where she picked him up with her hooves, place him on her back and took him into the kitchen. They 2 made macaroni and cheese casserole. At night it was peaceful but the Bit Counter and Booker heard banging on the wall sounds and Bit Counter went into Purple's room to see Base is choking Purple with a blunt object but the unicorn father used his magic to pull Base off of him and take the blunt object. Purple wasn't breathing where Bit Counter took Purple next door and went into the fire house where he yelled for help. His son isn't breathing but the firefighter ponies took him to the hospital in the ambulance wagon. Bit couldn't go to sleep he just tossed and turned but he hit his alarm clock when it went off at 6:40 am. His loving and caring wife asked on why Purple isn't out of bed where he's the first one to come and eat. Bit Counter told her that last night that Base was trying to suffocate him with a blunt object. The fire dept took him to the hospital where he has a broken windpipe. At 8:00 am, Booker went to work for the 1st time at a diner where she's a line cook. At lease her shift wasn't long where it's from 8:00 to 2:30 pm and she makes 120 bits a day. After her first day of work she just galloped over to the hospital like nothing but didn't knock any ponies down. She was shocked in the waiting room to see her mother and mother-in-law sitting there. They told her that there sorry to hear about Purple but there just hoping that he makes a speedy recovery. She decided to see her son where he stuck a hoof out. She just said sadly "Purple. Don't worry Purple mommy's here. Mommy already here for you don't worry I'm always here for you." He couldn't talk due to he had a tube down this throat to help him breath. But Booker saw a tear go down his cheek and she doesn't want him to suffer. She doesn't want to see him suffer but there's nothing she can do it about it. She's split minded about it where she wants him to grow up, get married ,and have a family but she doesn't want him to have a tube down his throat to breathe. At home, Base came in after school. He was in the kitchen he was looking through the fridge for something to drink. He noticed his sister in the backyard sitting down but deeply sadden. He didn't care on how his sister is feeling not caring that she's sad that Purple is in the hospital. He asked Bit Counter on what's for dinner but he just flipped the next page of the book he was reading with his magic and ignored him. It was 3:30 pm when Booker came home and made mac and cheese. She only made enough noodles for her, Blue and her husband but she asked on where there isn't any for him where they just gave him the cold shoulder. But he would try to take a fork and take a bite of there's but they would block him. Base told them that he's hungry Blue told her older brother that he should've thought of that before he put Purple in the hospital. Booker told him that this is a form of punishment where for nearly killing his brother. So doesn't get nothing to eat. Base just stormed off to his room slamming the door where he laid down on his bed where he threw a baseball into the air with his wing. Soon the door opened and Bit Counter took all the stuff. So he couldn't read, write, or entertain himself like throwing a ball into the air but he told his adoptive father on that's not fair. Bit Counter told him "tough luck" and Base should think about it again on not to put his baby brother in the hospital. Booker told her husband and adopted daughter that the doctors say that it should take five to seven weeks until Purple is out of the hospital but they have to sedate him at night so Purple can sleep peacefully. Memory LaneOn a nice evening it was Bit Counter, Booker and Purple they were sitting on a swinging chair where Booker had Purple on her lap petting him like a kitten or puppy while he napped. She asked her husband if he remembers when they were dating where he told her that a lot of picnic's they had as so called "Dates" there parents always broke them apart and would use their magic to carry them apart. Nine years ago. At a park at sunset Bit Counter and Booker were sitting on a park bench enjoying the sunset where they were about to kiss for the first time but before the two fifteen year old's could they heard two ponies clearing there throats. Booker chuckled but Bit Counter he scratched the back of his head where standing in front of them is Booker's father and Bit Counter's mother. The 2 love birds were in a magic aurora and there parents dragged them home but they couldn't where they tried to touch hooves. They couldn't due to by the time they tried there hooves were already 2 feet apart and couldn't reach. Back home on Celestia Blvd in the living room Bit Counter's mother told him that if she see's him with there rival's daughter then he'll be grounded for a month and after that he'll be grounded for a year. She's just going to let him off with a warning this time. At home on Pie Street in a Tudor style home that's roomy but in the kitchen Booker was making a sandwich but the kitchen is a chef's delight where her parents took her aside but told her peacefully to not to date there rival's son. She asked on why there rival's where her father said "Me and his father went into business together but we would work together and we made a lot of money." "One day i went out for lunch and i seen him in the conference room with the bosses and the client but he presented my design as our own but when i tried to explain that he stole my design but the bosses thought i was drunk or trying to steel what he did." He continued "I did my best to explain and i got fired so the bits i had so i created my design company!" he and his ex friend been rivals ever since. She asked if they could bury the hatchet where her father told her over his cold dead body then they'll get along again. What there parents didn't know didn't hurt them but at school the 2 would talk to each other but would put there school lunches together and that would've been there date even though he doesn't like Beets and she doesn't like milk due to she's Lactose Intolerant. They would also have a small kiss before they had to walk different ways to go home so there parents or family members won't see them together. Next Friday night the 2 were able to sneak out without there parents knowing. The two met at a movie theater, got a ticket, got a large popcorn, two drinks Bit Counter was a large Cola type soda, and Booker gotten a large root beer. They watched a cheesy romance film but near half way near the end the 2 had a big long smooch but the two unicorns left the movie theater at the end but went there way to go home undetected. At home Booker opened the door where her mother was sitting on in the living room couch where she said "Young lady do you know on what time it is?" where Booker told her it's 8:45 pm. Her mother told her it's 9:50 pm and demanded to know on where she went and was where she lied and told her that she was out at the movies and watched a cheesy romance film. Her mother told her light pink daughter to go upstairs and go to bed so she trotted upstairs and went to bed but in her head she called her mother a "Stupid Bitch" due to her mother is making her follow rules that she doesn't like. She was rudely awaken at 5:00 am by her father where she used her hoof to put her pillow on her face and said "Dad! Please let me sleep in damn it! I was busy last night and i want some fucking sleep!". Her father used his magic to make her to sit back up where he slapped his daughter across the face which hurted but it doesn't help that he had an horseshoe on. She asked on what in the world is his problem where his mix horseshoe which is made of steel and magnesium it hurts very much where he just said "Young lady you swear like that again your ass will be all red!". She just lied down, blew air out of her mouth, and put her pillow back over her face but she just wants sleep. She got dragged out of bed but hit her head on the door. Earlier at home Bit Counter his parents asked on where he was where he lied saying he was out with some friends where they asked if he was on a date where he lied and told them no. Bad thing is that when he lies he get's hiccups so his father asked on if he was on a date with the mare that they told him not to where he lied again and his parents called him out. He just said "One day I'm going to marry her and probably have a family with her so stop trying to get me to stay away from her! It's not working it has the opposite effect and if you keep at it we'll just run away and elope!". He then galloped upstairs to his bedroom and slammed where he got into bed all grouchy hating his parents. After awhile his parents opened the door to see him sleeping like a baby but his parents looked at him with a worried face but they walked over to him carefully but his mother sat on his bed kissing him on the forehead. Back in present day a 7 year old stallion pegasus asked them if Purple's available to play with but he was getting up from his nap anyway where Purple got off of his mother where she told him to go. Bit Counter and Booker watched there youngest adopted son and his two friend Jackpot Star a charcoal gray with brown hair & tail unicorn and scrumptious a mint green pegasus run having a race to the Canterlot drawbridge. Eight years ago. The two were on there 18th date where this time they were in a pizzeria where for 12 bits it's all that you can eat where they mostly ate the macaroni and cheese pizza, tomato pizza, and cheese pizza but had to pay 1 bit when they needed a drink for them. When they decided to look out a window while eating they seen a pony in a fedora and a three piece suit but Bit Counter used his magic and closed the shade for that window where he said "Don't worry about my father he ain't going to get us.". After they ate there three different pizza's Booker told him that the mac and cheese pizza well all of them are going to come back and bite her in the plot. She then pointed a hoof but quickly got out of there after giving him a quick smooch on the cheek where Bit Counter's father dragged him home where home he whipped his son with his belt. He then ordered his son to go upstairs to take a shower and to bed but he better not come out of the room for the rest of the night so he did on what his dad told him to. Several hours later. Bit Counter snuck downstairs, opened the back door, and galloped over to Booker's house where he threw pebbles at her bedroom window where she threw her two blankets down that are tied together. He climbed it but she whispered to him to keep it quiet but he gave her a quick kiss on the nose but she put her blankets back on her bed but had a long make out session on her bed but he placed his right front hoof onto her plot. He was in for a uncomfortable position where she had to place him under her bed which was tight but it was wide enough where they wouldn't see Bit Counter but she has to get up early for her. She kept him hidden but gotten caught when he had to burp but she rebelled against her parents and told them that she loves him and well if they want him they need to get through her. They just used there magic and threw him out face first where he said "OW! Son of a bitch!" but he help his nose in pain where his noise is broken. He went home to patch it up where his mother asked on what happened where he lied but told the truth as well saying he was out walking which now she knows the reason he wasn't in bed or at breakfast but told her that their rival's they assaulted him for no reason. She told him on now it's war but she took her son to the store but when he and Booker saw each other they pointed there hooves in a opposite direction and snuck away from there parents. They ran off but they both confessed there love for each other but there father's were there getting lunch at a street food vendor where they keep getting there same lunch for the past 22 years but they told there father's that they love each other and they better get use to it. Booker and Bit Counter told them as well that one day there going to be with each other and Bit Counter will be Booker's father son-in-law and Booker will be Bit Counter's daughter-in-law. The two agreed for the first time in 2 decades and 2 years and told them that they ain't going to be together and it's the final of that they ain't going to be together, get married and have a family. They countered argued saying that they shouldn't block them from true love and if they want to they can disown them. There father's didn't want to disown them but told them that they can date only on a few conditions where that is no touching, no kissing, and no having adult time. Bit Counter and Booker asked on what's adult time? They both said at the same time "Do you want to go to Tartarus?" where Bit Counter and Booker shook there heads no. They couldn't really date with there father's tailing them and trying to be sneaky but them wearing the same suits isn't good enough for them but there father's were easy to lose of taking the alleyways to lose them but it was ok. The Empty Nest SyndromeSeven Years Later. Bit Counter and Booker are 31 years old, Base is already gone moved out to Manehattan where he's a baseball player for the Manehattan Solar's team, Blue she's 16 and Purple Artist he's fourteen years old. It was after school where the door opened where she thought it was her baby boy but just seen it was Blue where she asked her adoptive mom on what's for dinner where Booker told her it's Mac and Cheese with apple pie for desert. Booker asked on where's Purple Artist? Blue told her that he and his mare friend where it's Friday and he's taking her on a date where Booker asked on who's the lucky mare to date her lucky Purple where Blue she told her adoptive mom that she don't know. Booker pressed her for information but Blue only said "Mom! Purple only told me that he got a date but he will tell us more when he gets home.". Soon her husband came in where he asked her on if she's ok where she told him that she missus Purple where now that he's a teenager he prefers to be out mostly but Bit Counter told her to remember on the freedom they wanted away from there parents. She told her husband that Purple has a date where he told his wife on that he's lucky but also told her on hope he can tie the knot with her but as he get's older he might have a few other girlfriends. They both asked on how she is but she's feeling that the kids are leaving and her nest is getting smaller where Base already flew away then Blue is going to fly away even though she's a unicorn then Purple is going to fly away last but Blue told her that he's a momma boy and he won't go anywhere. She told them that she doesn't want him to waste his life to be with mom for the rest of his life where she wants him to go live his life to the fullest and that even means finding a mare to settle down with and father some healthy foals but she wants to be there when he get's wed and when her grand foals are born. They had dinner but Booker was sad that one day the remaining two will leave home and start there adventure as an adult's and they won't be there to tell them to go to bed, what to eat and not to eat, not to give advice, be there when they have nightmares, and won't take care of them not adding smothering them in kisses and hugs. On Monday morning when Booker was about to go to work her adoptive son Purple pulled her to the side to talk to her where he hugged her and said "Don't worry mom you and dad prepared us for the world but if we always need advice you and dad will be right here." but Purple then gave her a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. The 2 watched him run off to catch up with his friends but his unicorn and pegasus best friends teased with him on how he still hug and kisses his mother but she went to work but kept her sadness hidden but she can't keep it out of her mind that her adoptive daughter and adoptive son are going to leave one day. After work she seen Fourteen year old Purple Artist and Sixteen year old Blue sitting at the kitchen table doing there arithmetic homework together but also having fun where that placed a smile on her face where she's happy that the 2 are happy. She made them dinner but before she could get started she felt a tap on her back where it's Purple holding a hoof drawn photo which it's a picture of all of them even Base where it says under it "WE LOVE YOU MOM & DAD- LOVE PURPLE ARTIST & BLUE". A tear came to her eye where she hugged him tightly saying she loves it and will cherish it for the rest of her life. She also told him on now she knows his cutie mark is a number 2 pencil where he's a very good drawer where she always been confused on why his cutie mark is a pencil. She was asked by him on what does her cutie mark mean where it's a book where she told him that she's a bookworm and can read books more quickly then the average pony. She just told him that she's going to cherish this hug like every other hug the 2 ever shared and did but she sadly told him that when he walks out the front door for the final time she's going to miss these hugs. He just said to her in his southern United States accent "Don't worry mom! I'm always going to be here for you and dad." then he tugged her tightly in his hooves and wings. He also told her that no matter what emergency or not he'll always be ready to talk to her even if it's late at night he'll be available to socialize with her where she said "That's my baby boy." then the 2 hugged tighter. He then told her to go relax on where he got it from here so she sat on the couch. A half a hour later Bit Counter walked in and held in his laugh due to he wasn't expecting to see Purple Artist in a pink apron but he walked into the living room with a plate of Mac and Cheese in his dark moderate blue magic aurora and a Long Island Ice Tea. He placed it down next to her onto the end table and then he kissed her on the head. He told his wife on that there isn't something right with him where Bit Counter went into the kitchen to grab a plate but was shocked to see that Purple already made his, and Blue's then there adoptive son made his own plate but after dinner when Blue, Bit Counter and Booker went outside they watched Purple and his 2 friends race each other to the Canterlot Draw bridge. Purple told them while they were running that there not going to be using there magic but the last one there is a rotten fish even though they won't eat fish. Four years later. The couple are now 35 but Blue she's now twenty, and Purple he's now eighteen but at the front door Purple hugged Bit Counter and Booker very tightly. Booker cried a little bit where she doesn't want her baby to leave home but Purple said "If your going to cry all the time then I will bring you two with me on where the military sends me!". She told him not to go where he told her that he's not going into the military to serve his country but he's doing it to protect them from there enemies. She said to Purple "I remember like yesterday when Bit Counter brought you, Blue, and Base home from the Country out of a orphanage and I remember on how cute you were as a foal. You were adorable now and you're still adorable as you were Eighteen Years ago." He told them that he doesn't care that he's adopted where family isn't on who well he doesn't know on where foals come from but it's on who raises them like family as if their own. Another Four year's later. In Ponyville the two thirty-nine year old's watched on Purple get married to a blue unicorn with light blue body and dark blue hair but they were happy but after 8 months (his wife Blue Badge was 2 months pregnant when they got wed) the two were in the Ponyville General Hospital. In the delivery room the two met there grand foals which melted Booker's heart where she remembers holding Purple for the first time when they first met when he was a few months old but he was a quiet baby but she told them anytime they need any help they'll be available. She just said "This was a Unusual Family. Unicorns always asked on how i birthed a pegasus or an alicorn. Some stallions in my workplace thought there was a alicorn male that impregnated me deeming me responsible to have such foal. Some even though I'm a child or some great grand foal or something like that of Princess Celestia." Purple did tell them that he was happy that they were the ones that raised him into the kind gentle stallion he is but they told him that he was that his entire life. Bit Counter asked on what the two do for a living where Purple told them that he's a Fire stallion and his wife is a Police mare but every now and then he volunteers his time doing community service but they asked on the foal's name where Blue Badge said "Bit Accountant & Bookworm. Don't look at me he wanted foals that would remind him of you two. If your his parents?" They told her that there his adoptive parents where Bit Counter told them that Purple's birth parents were killed by Timberwolves and reports say that he was only three days old. Even though Booker suffered from the Empty Nest Syndrome for awhile everywhere she looked at home was nothing but reliving flashbacks of raising the three but was sad when Purple told them when they were at his & Blue Badge's house that they couldn't have done a better job of raising them. He also told them that out of all foals that Bit Counter looked at but he's lucky that he got him, Blue and Base but when they asked on where's Blue where Purple sadly told them that she went to Appleloosa and was poisoned in the saloon. His adoptive mom gave him a card that his parents wrote for him to that his actual parents wrote before they left Sire's Hollow and gotten killed by Timberwolves. He heard a Appalachian accent and a Mid Atlantic accent say "Happy 3rd day of being our pride of joy. We hope your the son there is and just be yourself. Don't you ever change the way you are you three day old boy.". The moderate purple alicorn stallion he fell down to the hardwood floor with tears streaming down his face where he never met his real parents but his adoptive parents went over to him and placed there hooves around him but he just cried on his adoptive mother's shoulder. She just patted him on the back telling him it's ok but it's okay to cry but well he had the card on him when the Country of Equestria took him and his siblings in and well they kept the card until they were finally adopted out and well gave Bit Counter the card but he didn't open the card due to it's labeled as "TO: PURPLE ARTIST. LOVE: MOM & DAD" Author's Note This is an Alt Universe where on who Purple marries isn't like in "The Life of Purple Artist" or any other universes where he's married to his ex marefriend Blue Sapphire a dark blue unicorn (who comes from a family that's rich but name there foals after there coat color and birth month gemstone) or Target (a cream coated unicorn who's Purple's wife in other universes) Parent's dayAt the elementary school Bit Counter was there in his suit but he don't really know on how to tell the kids on how exciting his job is where it isn't and three of his adopted son Purple's classmates there father's and one of there mother's is in the fire department and well next door to there house is a fire station. After he waited for his turn where he did where he introduced himself as "Mr. Bit Counter" and well he works in a office where it isn't really exciting like being a firefighter or a police officer but the perks are that it ain't as hot or dangerous but not as exciting. He wasn't up there for long where he couldn't really explain on how he does his job of sitting at a desk from eight in the morning to four at evening just typing on a typewriter but it isn't like he said ain't exciting nor what his wife does ain't exciting of being a housewife but they have normal lives. In the hallway after his turn he just went to go get a drink of water of not knowing on how the colts and fillies in the school but when the school bell rang for the students to go to different classes he went back to work. After school and work Booker asked on how was Parent's day where Bit Counter told her that he didn't inspire the colts and fillies in the class about his work where unlike the other student's parents there either a cop, firefighter or something that's interesting. He just made himself a Long Island Ice tea but the two heard fighting where they both said "Not again!" they said when heard fighting. It was Base and Purple fighting each other on who'll go in through in first but the two are in the door frame shoving each other but Base hurted his baby brother by slamming the door on his head but the four year old was sitting holding his head but said that it hurts badly. At the hospital the doctor told the two that the door was slammed so hard it cracked a part of his skull so they had Purple go to lay on his bed and just stay there but had Purple to be home schooled until his skull is fully healed but they both yelled at Base for hurting his baby brother like that. Blue she stayed by Purple's side so Booker wouldn't have too besides when she's homeschooling him but Booker would always kiss Purple on the head to make him feel special but Bit Counter would just give him a pat on his back and would tell him that he's a good son.
The Happiest dayIn Canterlot Bit Counter is with his mare friend Booker where the dark blue unicorn with a gold bit with a money counter behind it he sat down next to his girlfriend in a park. The Eighteen year old due to they been dating for Three years he asked her hoof in marriage. She shed several tears where in her mind she was saying not to do it but her gut was saying yes so she told him yes she'll marry him but his father works for Princess Celestia but asked the princess for a small favor to have his son and fiancée to get married in Canterlot castle which was a major yes. In Canterlot in a room the light pink unicorn was looking into a mirror where her mother was fitting her for the wedding dress where it been in her family for generations but her mom told her that she'll pass the dress down to her daughter if they have one. She just said "Hey mom i used the bathroom this morning but well I'm not on my menstruation i think i might be pregnant. I believe that i am pregnant!" she said that she might be pregnant due to she isn't on her period. in another room his father asked if he's okay where he told his father that his heart is racing but he and his special somepony are going to get married but he's worrying about if there rushing it or something but his father calmed him down. The eighteen year old did calm down but took a big sip of cold water out of the glass but made sure there was nothing on his tux that his father wore in his wedding day twenty- three years ago but he then went out to a room. He stayed there where after awhile the doors opened where Booker and her bridesmaid walked with her down the red carpet but stood in front of her fiancé where the two smiled where the princess asked if they're ready to love and cherish each other for the rest of there lives where they said simultaneous "I Do". Before the princess could say "You may now kiss the bride" the two were half a minute ahead of them but in the reception the two danced but snuck off too play "seven minutes in heaven" which lasted from seven minutes to a hour where when they came out his face was all red due to her lipstick. They had there wedding photo's, ate cake, and danced but his father told them some good news and that is he got them a house so they can live there but Bit Counter told him he shouldn't have but he just told them congrats before walking off. He asked on what he means by "Congrats" where his newlywed wife told him that she isn't on her Period where she thinks that she's 100% sure she's pregnant. They moved in to there new house together but the place was furnished where they love there modest and livable suburban ranch house. thoughtful landscaping, a separate garage, and a large, uniquely-shaped deck complete the middle class dream where they chose there bedroom which there's three smaller bedrooms where they can start breeding right away. A few days later Bit Counter came home saying "Honey I'm Home" like a 50's TV show husband announcing that he's home where he heard sobbing where he found her in the kitchen crying. He asked what's wrong where she showed him a pregnancy test which it's negative where he never seen her so excited to be a mother only for her to realize she isn't going to have a foal. For two weeks the couple tried to have a baby but every time they would and she would do a pregnancy test it was always negative so she went to the hospital to see if there was something wrong with her or him but she was devastated to find out she was sterile where she's infertile. Bit Counter asked the doctor to get him tested to see if he's sterile or not so the doctor did give him a test. The unicorn doctor left the room but she cried onto her husband getting his black casual suit wet where he told her it'll be fine where he got an idea. He then got tested and found out he's also sterile as well meaning neither of them can have foals where Bit Counter went and told his family about that he and his wife can't have children and she told her family that she can't bear foals and her husband can't get her pregnant. Her family asked if she could get an artificial insemination but she told them that she's sterile as well meaning neither of the two can have children. In there bedroom Bit Counter sat in the doorframe not knowing on how to comfort his wife who she was excited thinking she was pregnant but learning the hard truth that neither of them can have foals really devastated both of them but devastated her the most. He walked over to her carefully and kissed her on the head telling her everything will be fine and they'll work there way around it where they battled more worse situations like how there parents dislike each other but looked what happened they buried the hatchet and let bygones be bygones. He was sad seeing his wife with her heart shattered and crying where she always dreamed of having a family when she got to her 30's but that won't be happening to anytime soon or later. She said while sobbing "Our parents are expecting Grand foals and what are we going to tell them?" she said asking on what they are going to do when there parents ask on there grand foals but Bit Counter told her that they already told them that there both infertile where when she's sad she forgets about stuff that's recent like them telling there parents that they can't have foals. In his mind "I got a idea! I'll go adopt a foal or a colt or filly!" he said in his mind that he'll go adopt a baby pony if not a colt or filly. He just walked over to her and kissed her on the head but told her that everything will be ok but she cried on him where she told him about on how excited she was thinking she was pregnant but not but he tried to calm her down but he went and made her lunch. He left a note saying he'll take good care of her until she feels better but he isn't a good cook or homemaker but the cobalt blue unicorn with black hair tried to do more things at once and not balance his home life to work life to husband life and tried to tackle all at once. She sadly ate it but he was gone before she could thank him for the lunch. The pink unicorn then did the dishes even though her husband would do them when he got back from work but the went to the bathroom where she looked in a mirror where her chocolate brown hair was all in lines so she brushed her hair but wiped the tears from her face. She looked into her reflection looking at her beautiful blue eyes but put on her necklace she wears for good luck but asked on why she still wears but told herself that she had it since she was eight years old but that was that besides she aced all of her tests back in late elementary school, and throughout middle and high school.
Having ChildrenWhile doing dishes Booker was doing dishes while humming where she's heartbroken where for two weeks every night the two had a romantic time to get pregnant but she was sad and depressed when she learned that she was infertile. She stopped doing dishes but started to make lunch where she heard the door open to see her husband with a six year old stallion pegasus, four year old filly unicorn and a baby male where he told her on that this is his plan. She galloped over to them and hugged them where the filly was excited but the six year old wasn't saying that she won't ever be his mother but seen him holding a moderate purple alicorn foal. Her heart melted but the baby was sleeping but he carefully passed him over to her saying that he needs to get back to work. The filly was happy to eat the lunch she made on the stove but the pegasus one did but she just placed a baby bottle in the moderate purple alicorn mouth to drink milk but after feeding the baby she smiled at the foal. Hours later her husband came home with a box which in their bedroom. He put up the crib where at night Bit Counter asked his wife on how was her day where she told him that the pegasus one he been difficult but fine. Bit Counter told her that well their parents were murdered by Timberwolves and he grew up with his parents but he'll warm up to them eventually where he may not like them now, tomorrow or next month but he'll warm up too them one day. They kissed, went to bed, they cuddled up but in the morning she got up early where she went into the kitchen and made breakfast where when almost done she called them down where her husband and adoptive daughter got up and went down to the kitchen. Soon the pegasus got up and went down where his sister told him good morning but he didn't say anything so Bit Counter hit the table and told him to tell his sister good morning but he told them no where he isn't there parents. Bit Counter used his magic and took him into his and Booker's bedroom but heard slapping sounds where Bit Counter asked if he liked that where the pegasus told him that he hates him. He then left the house to go to school where Booker asked the filly unicorn on her name where she told them it's Blue, her older brother name is Base and her baby brother name is Purple Artist. She told her adoptive mother that she loves her cooking and it reminds her of her deceased mother who was a loving pegasus where she explained on how a four year old could that she's a mix that her father was a unicorn and mother a pegasus. They were sympathetic for them for losing their parents where no colt or filly should lose their parents at such a young age. They gave her some bits and she went to school like her older brother but they heard Purple crying so Booker got up and went upstairs and gave him the baby bottle again which he sucked on where she was happy. Bit Counter never seen his wife with a big old smile on her face where he knows she's happy but he gotten use to her singing at night where she would sing Purple an alibi to make him go to sleep when it was either nighttime or when he was fussy. He'd seen her without him nearby in a stroller or somewhere within her reach of a hoof. While out at lunch he was sitting on a park bench where his wife stopped by where it's the same bench where he proposed to her. He asked how he had been treating her where she told him that the baby had been keeping her on her hooves but she's still up to the challenge but they heard him coo as well where he's trying to get some butterflies. That melted their hearts where she kissed him. She thanked him for the children where now there busy where they shared another kiss. A pony cleared their throat where they both looked at the pony where he asked if the baby belonged to them where he stuck out a hoof with Purple Artist wrapped around it where they both apologized to the unicorn about it. The Pony told them to keep him on a leash or he's going to beat their baby to death. They went home but talked on how rude that unicorn was unknown to them on that unicorn hates children and doesn't plan on having any in his life. Turns out raising a baby is more energy then they expected but they were happy even though they didn't conceive them but they loved them as if they were their own. While sleeping a light hit Booker in her eye so she got up where she was tired but seen second things that Bit Counter he was playing with baby Purple and the 2nd thing is that he's using his magic to iron his suit where she left but he heard a click where she's using her magic to hold a camera. She told him that she never expected this of seeing him do both play with a baby and doing domestic household cleaning job, not adding he already made tomorrow's dinner that just needs to be re-heated. A few weeks later while on the floor playing peak a boo Booker she felt something off so she looked at her husband who was frozen in place. She asked what's wrong where he just said shockingly "I... I... I've... I've been drafted!" he said shockingly that he been drafted where the eighteen year old is going off to war. They kissed but in her thoughts that she wants help to raise the kids so she asked her mom and dad but there busy but help when they can but her in laws won't. Her In-laws won't due to the kids aren't a mix of cobalt blue & pink or either or saying she banged another stallion behind their son or her husband's back. She tried to explain to them that she's infertile and couldn't conceive a foal even if she had the magic to do so not even her brother's in law would help but her sister in law would due to she's infertile like Booker so she helped when she could. While getting a letter a month later she fell down and said "This is the letter i wasn't expecting he's dead! My husband is dead!" she said in her mind thinking the letter she got means her husband is dead. The letter from her husband says that he's doing fine but hates the heat of the desert there in and don't know on where the enemy is and when they do find the enemy they blend in easily with the civilian population. They both always wrote about how much they love each other and how he can't wait until he can come home and see them again and help her to raise them.
Unusual ColtFour years later. In the kitchen while stirring cake mix together Booker felt a tug on her tail where she looked around where it's Purple where she asked on what he wants where he wants where he just stuck his two frontal hooves up. She bent over and picked him up placing him onto the tiled counter where after she got done mixing she took out the wooden spoon and poured it into a bake sheet. She gave him the wooden where she kissed him on the head but the moderate purple alicorn started to lick the wooden spoon where she just chuckled. She wondered on why she deserves such a cute colt like him which she wondered in her head but she went off to see what Base and Blue are up too where Base is almost in his pre teen hood and Blue is just playing with toys. Back in the kitchen she yelled at Purple where he had his face in the baking sheet eating the chocolate mix but his face was covered in chocolate cake mix. She was mad but giggled instead where she just got the dish rag wet to wipe off his face but he looked sad but apologized but she told him not to worry she isn't going to hurt him. The light pink unicorn just kissed her adoptive son on the cheek then got him down so he could go play. It wasn't long until Purple got back to her where he's being chased by Base but Purple ran to his adoptive mother where she shielded Purple where of him accidentally knocking down his toy bricks (like Lego's) doesn't need to be violent in retaliation. Purple even apologized for it but Base told her to keep him away from Base or he's going to get hurt where he never wanted a baby brother or a baby sister. After Base left to go back to his room but she heard crying but her left behind leg gotten squeezed where she looked behind her where it's Purple Artist crying due to Base always blames him for everything that goes wrong. He also still blames Purple for the death of there parents is his fault where if he wasn't here (aka born and not conceived) then they would still be alive. She calmed him down which on that telling him it'll all be ok then made him his favorite food which is lasagna. The two smelled lasagna baking so the older brother and sister came thinking it's dinner time but just seen there baby brother sitting on the counter eating a slice of cake. Blue asked for a piece of cake so the adoptive mother and adoptive mother duo got her a slice of chocolate cake and a plate but Base asked for a slice where Booker said "No! Only good ponies in this household get a slice of cake and your behavior for the past four years the answer still no!" she said to him. He told her on that's not fair where she told him that blaming his baby brother for everything that goes wrong isn't fair he doesn't deserve it. Base countered argued that Purple does deserve it because if it wasn't for him then they wouldn't be here in Canterlot today where they would be in there small town where they were born at but Booker finally told him to go back to his room he's grounded for three months. He told her on that's not fair then used his wing to threw the dark blue ceramic plate hitting Purple who was focusing on eating the slice of cake but Booker comforted him before he cried telling him everything is ok but he just did a little sniffle but went back to eating his cake. The front door opened where Bit Counter returned where he asked on how the kids been where He got to see Purple for the first time since when he was only a couple of months old now he's 4 year's old but Bit Counter asked on how they been where Booker told her up and down but can't keep Base from verbally every day almost every hour of the day and Little Purple he and his heart can't stand it. At night the two were cuddling up with each other but they heard Purple calling for Booker by yelling "Mom!" so the two got up thinking he's having another nightmare but when they opened the bedroom door they seen Base beating up his baby brother but Bit Counter pulled him off and took him into his and Booker's bedroom. Booker sat on Purple's bed having him in her frontal two legs telling him everything is ok but after Bit Counter got done spanking him with a leather belt Booker brought young Purple into the bedroom and had him to sleep with them where Base won't hurt Purple if mom and dad well there adoptive mom and dad are around him so he wouldn't get hurt. In the morning Blue asked on where's Purple where Base told her that he hopes he ran off but Bit Counter said "Boy don't make me come over there!" he said to Base sternly. Soon they heard hoofsteps where they seen Purple come where Booker lit up her magic where there's a dark pink magic aurora pulled out a chair and she told him to come and eat breakfast but he just placed on his saddle bags and walked to school. Blue asked on what's with him where Base told his sister that he doesn't care and hope something bad happens to him on that's what he been wishing for the entire time but Booker reached over the table and slapped the living daylight out of him and told him "Like it or not he's your brother! Show him some love like it or not!" she told him to like her brother like it or not. Booker then said "Yeah honey this what i been dealing with while you were away." she said to her husband on what she been dealing with on while he was away in the war. The two then went to school and Bit Counter went back to work in a office where he wondered on how the kids are doing. At the Elementary-Junior High mix Base slammed Purple into the concrete wall and started to beat up his baby brother but a teacher broke them up but in the nurse's office the nurse called Broker who was home humming while doing dishes when she got the call so she went to the school. In the principal office the principal told her that it would be easier for them if they were given back to there distance family members who'll take better care of them where Bit Counter asked on who the adoption place tracked all of there distance family and all other family members down where there dead or too old to take care of children. "Who's going to take care of them there father's parents? There racial to pegasus and well grandson is a pegasus and other grandson is an alicorn. There mother's parents there racial to unicorns and there granddaughter who's a unicorn and grandson is a alicorn!" Bit Counter said on who there grandparents hate each other (father's parents hate pegasus and mother parent's hate unicorn's). In the nurse's office they were able to see Purple who was holding his chest but moaning in pain where his adoptive parents asked on how he's doing where the nurse told him that he got several cracked ribs and hurt badly but besides that he's in pain. They took him home and Booker had a close eye on him but didn't leave his side but when Base got home he got it then of both of them spanking him Bit Counter with his leather belt and Booker with a wooden paddle. After Purple got better the two hardly saw him where he would come home late at night where Booker would be worried sick about him where he wouldn't come back until 8:30 to 9:00 PM at night even on school nights. While eating dinner one calm night everything was going so smoothly where it's peaceful but Base ruined it by opening his big mouth and told his baby brother like normal everything that goes wrong it's his fault but Purple used his magic and threw the plate of spaghetti and yelled "FUCK YOU BASE!" before he stormed off to his room which the little colt swore for the first time. Booker she was shocked more hen her husband was when Purple swore at his older brother for the first time in his life. At the door Booker knocked on Purple's bedroom door and asked if she could come in where Purple told her yes where she went in where she went over to him but sat on his bed where she told him it isn't Ok to swear at all where he told her he's sorry but she told him not to do it again where she made herself stern about it. He told her that he knows he shouldn't swear but he won't do it again but Base deserved it where she told him that she knows but let her and dad deal with it. She told him that if Base picks on him he should tell her and she'll deal with it but told him to come back to the kitchen to eat but he told her he isn't hungry. She just got up, went into the kitchen, and made Purple another plate of spaghetti which he ate sadly but she got her plate and ate in his bedroom to add another layer of security and to make him feel safe. In the morning Booker made breakfast again well she does due to she's a housewife but she had two plates in her magic aurora where she went into Purple's bedroom where she gave him a blue ceramic plate which has scrambled eggs with a side of toast and a cup of orange juice. The two ate in peace but talked little but he walked with her to the bathroom so the two could brush there teeth and she kissed him on the forehead and he went off too school. After school Purple was usually the first one home but it was Blue then Base but as the night grew on Booker was worried but Bit Counter went to bed around 9:30 but it was 1:30 AM when there was a knock on the door where Booker opened the door and it was a Canterlot police mare. She asked if he belongs to her where she told the cop that Purple does belong to her where she asked the cop on what happened where the cop told her of an apartment building he was in caught fire and a fire stallion got him out where he was scared to move. She thanked the cop for bringing him home but he went into his bedroom and was scared where Booker went into his room and kissed him on his head but told him to get some sleep where he deserve rest but he told her don't go so she slept with her son so she could add a layer of protection of security or something like that. She doesn't know that Purple wants to avoid his brother but he's starting his adventurous side and starting to adventure more away from home were his mom doesn't want him too thinking it'll be dangerous for the four year old alicorn to adventure into the unknown.
WinterIt's winter in Equestria where Booker made hot chocolate for herself, husband, & three adopted children. But in her peaceful and soothing, voice she called the youngest to come over to the table. But young Purple was more interested in watching the snow fall. Booker used her magic to bring him over and placed him into a chair and placed a bowl of oatmeal in front of him. Purple didn't eat it with a spoon but placed his face into it. Booker told him to stop eating like a pig but when he brought his head up Booker giggled. Base shook his head and Bit Counter just told himself that their isn't something right with him. Blue she didn't have a opinion due to well she doesn't care. Booker used a napkin to wipe her son's face but told him to eat like a normal pony with a spoon but he went back to eating it with his face where she just said. "Boys! Boys are more harder to raise than girls." She brought Purple back up where again she wiped his face. She told him to go to brush his teeth and then go to school where the purple alicorn went to do on what she told him to do. At the door, she told him to have a good day at school but the small moderate purple alicorn kissed his mom on the cheek and she gave him a kiss on the forehead telling him to have a good day. Booker then hugged Blue after she brushed her teeth and went to school having to run to catch up to her baby brother. She didn't hug or kiss Base on the forehead because he's the grouchy one and well doesn't do anything good. She then kissed her husband on the mouth where he's wearing a overcoat and she told him to stay warm where he told her to stay cute on how she is. After he left she quickly closed the door to keep the cold air out. She did her domestic duty of cleaning the house but she thought about getting a job but she wants to be here when Purple get's home where she has a special connection with him adopted son. She just listened to the radio on the weather and did the dishes, and vacuumed but hummed when the radio played music but by lunchtime. The front door busted open where it's Blue where she told her that something happened at the school so like a curious mother she went galloping. Only thing she seen was that the Canterlot fire department using warm water to remove Purple's tongue off of the flag pole which his older brother triple dog dared him. But the four-year-old wouldn't do it so he forced his brother to do it. Base used his wings to force Purple to put his tongue onto the frozen flagpole. After school, she was chopping up a carrot where she's making veggie soup but heard the door open but close the door of Base staying in the living room. Blue went into the kitchen to play solitaire, and Purple went to his bedroom so she put the soup on a low simmer so it wouldn't burn or stick to the pot. She slowly opened Purple's door but asked if he's okay but told her he just wanted to be left alone. She walked over to him calmly, sat on his bed where she placed a hoof on him telling him it's ok. She placed him onto her back and carried him into the kitchen where she used her magic and placed him onto the counter. While it was cooking she would let him try a little taste to see if it was ready. After eight different taste's he told her it was good which was good enough for her to turn it off. When her husband arrived they all ate but Purple asked Booker by saying "Mom can i eat in my room?" he asked if he could eat in his bedroom which she told him to go ahead. Bit Counter asked on what's that all about. Booker told him that Base forced his baby brother to put his tongue onto the flagpole and the fire and police departments had to use warm water to get it off without ripping his tongue off. Bit Counter said "Base! I'm getting tired of you always picking on your baby brother! Show him some compassion for Celestia's sake!" Base soon left the table where they wondered where the ice berg blue pegasus was going. They thought he went to go apologize to Purple but after two minutes they heard Purple call for Booker where she went where she walked in on Base attacking Purple again. Booker was about to break it up but Base soon went flying back. Purple all of his adrenaline of anger built up and used a magical surge and had his brother fly back into the wall where the shock and well the other 2 heard it but Bit Counter went to check it out. They saw Purple shaken in fear where he didn't mean to hurt his brother with an angry magical surge. But the two weren't mad at him but happy that he finally put his older brother in his place and showed him that he isn't a pushover anymore. Even though Base was hurt he told Purple that he's a dead pony and tried to attack him but Bit Counter used his magic and carried him into another room where Base yelled, "HE'S A DEAD PONY I'M GOING TO KILL THAT LITTLE SNOT NOSE SON OF A BITCH!". Bit Counter took him into the kitchen and put a entire jar of hot sauce onto Base's tongue and told him that if he swears or harms his baby brother he'll be getting more of the hot sauce and belt or wooden paddle or wooden spoon from mom. Base just used his frontal right leg to kick his adoptive dad in his front left leg where Bit Counter gave him a tanning. The next day Booker was outside where she got the mail but quickly got in where she closed the door and said, "Woo it's cold. Well they said this is suppose to be the coldest winter on record.". She sat in front of the fireplace warming up with a cup of hot chocolate. She went over the mail most of it was bills or junk mail but she just stayed there to stay warm where she stuck out her hooves to stay warm but she then decided to lay in a ball like a kitten and stayed warm. She then felt a light jab on her face. She looked where it's her and Bit Counter's adopted kids looking at her where she quickly looked at the time where it's 3:40 PM where she slept for 3 hours and 10 minutes. She thought she took a cat nap. She got up, yawned, and went into the kitchen and made dinner well made multiple TV dinners. She needs to go to the store but being a housewife, mother, & wife her planner been booked, and having to take Base to baseball practice, Blue to her music lesson, and to keep Purple safe and teach him how to cook, clean & well unknown to her she's actually stripping him of his masculinity and giving him more of a feminine side. After the store after Saturday, Base just shook his head after seeing Purple wearing a pink apron, sitting on the counter and helping Booker bake pie's, cakes, and cupcakes. Base then said "He's turing into a fucking sissy!" He then felt a quick smack where unknown to him his adoptive father was behind him and used his hoof to hit him with the leather part of the belt. Her husband got the mail after that where there's a letter saying that school been canceled for a few days ahead of Heartswarming Break. Base and Blue were happy but Purple had a plastic frosting dispenser in his hooves. To Purple he doesn't care if this makes him less of a stallion but he's happy and if he's happy then his sister is happy but Base wants Purple to be like him. Purple has an friendly side and his friendly side which makes him coward and be afraid and rout from danger. Unknown to him he got an fanaticism side meaning in certain situations Purple will be like his brother and be mean but won't cower unless if his life was in danger. After baking it was 2:00 PM where they all went outside where they had teams where Bit Counter chose Blue and Base to be on his team where it's them versus Booker and Purple but they had fun having a snowball fight but Booker and Purple only played for a hour until they went back in to make dinner. When they came in to eat dinner, Bit Counter told his lovely wife that she does make great food but she said "I didn't make it. It was Purple he made it more then I did when I was warming up. He put out noodles for the lasagna and I showed him how to put it together and he watched it for a hour.". Bit Counter patted Purple on the back for helping mom to make dinner. A few more days passed where it's Heartswarming eve. Blue was singing where the iceberg blue unicorn was singing a Heartswarming song. Base was putting up stockings and Purple was in the kitchen baking cookies with their adoptive mother where Bit Counter was reading. They had some kind of system where Purple used his magic to give the plate with cookie and glass of milk to Blue then Blue would pass it to her brother who would put it on end table next to the Heartswarming tree. But the time was 8:30 PM they all went to bed but while going to their bedrooms Base placed his left wing around Purple out of the kindness of his heart. In the morning Booker turned over onto her back but felt something stand on her belly where she tiredly opened her eyes to see Purple's face in her face. She screamed which got her husband up where he checked the time where it's 7:00 AM on the dot. She asked on what he wants where he scared the pink unicorn. Purple asked if they can open there presents. They got out of bed and went into the living room but Booker used her magic to record it of Purple's 1st Heartswarming as a child and not a foal or toddler. Some of the presents was for them but there was a knock on the door where it's Bit Counter's parents and brothers came, then there was another knock. Booker's mom and dad where they all had a nice breakfast together. Booker and her mother had a small argument. There argument was that Booker should be with the kids and her husband. Booker told her that she's there guest but her mother-in-law wants to help and wants breakfast well wants it to be special where she get's heartburn bad and a lot. They had a good Heartswarming with each other and even though there parents hate each other and only buried the hatchet for there wedding only they didn't argue or get mad but just shared a couple of laughs and had jokes with each other.
Teenhood is a different problemThree Years later. In Canterlot it's April 15th, Base's thirteenth birthday. But he really isn't in the mood for playing what he calls 'Foal and Colt's games'. when Booker told him to take his baby brother outside to teach him how to play baseball or any other sports but he told her no calling it "A foal's game." Bit Counter told him to do on what his mother said. Base told him that he would rather see his baby brother die by swimming in corrosive acid. Bit Counter and Booker politely Blue and Purple to go to school. So the Blue and Purple did what they were told to do. Bit Counter and Booker scolded Base on what he said. But they reflected on how they were rebellious to there parents when they started to date and there parents hating each other and hated them when they were dating. They would sneak out at night to date or a little bit more adult like and make serious love but he would have to hide her when she was over at his house and vice versa but when they announced that when they were going to get wed they decided to finally temporarily bury the hatchet. Only for the holidays and when they got married. Bit Counter and Booker kissed at the door, Booker told her husband that lately she been thinking about getting a job. She wants his seal of approval or what he thinks about it. He told her if she wants a job then she can go get one. But to do on what she wants to do. She did her domestic duty of cleaning and planning tonight's dinner. Then she went out and started to apply for a job but her heart was telling her that she belongs home. Especially to be with her adopted pride of joy named Purple Artist but she also wants to have a 2nd income so she won't have to rely on her husband 24/7. She went outside of the house after eating lunch. She was singing in her head but was outside all day but didn't notice until seeing Base come home from middle school. She asked on how was school where he ignored her, walked in, and slammed the front door shut. She told herself that when Blue and Purple get to teen hood then they'll be the same as Base. But unknown that Purple will be the only one who won't let his mood or changes change on who he is. Four days after Base's thirteenth birthday Bit Counter and Booker tried to be friendly to him. They though he is being a bad influence to his baby sister and baby brother but he told them that he doesn't care. On a nice warm Saturday Purple was outside throwing a football with his adoptive father but Base came out, Purple threw the ball but Base got in the way and it hit him. He told Purple hostilely "I'm going to kill you!". Base chased Purple. Bit Counter would tell Base to calm down but Purple then ran inside where Booker told Base to stop chasing his baby brother where what he did was a accident. When they ran around in the kitchen and dining room but when Purple hid behind Booker she said loudly "I SAID STOP!". She's was ticked off at Base where she told him it was a accident. Purple he threw the ball but he walked in it's path. It wasn't Purple's fault where Base wasn't moving when he threw the ball. Purple even told his older brother that he's sorry where Base said mockingly then angrily . "I'm sorry... I'm sorry. I'M SORRY DOESN'T FIX EVERYTHING! IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT MOM AND DAD ARE DEAD! IT'S YOUR FAULT WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!" Booker then told Base to apologize to his younger brother. Base told her that on why he meant on what he said where he wishes he didn't have a baby brother and that there parents were still alive. She then used her magic and threw him out of the front door. Her husband asked what the yelling about. Booker told him that she yelled at Base to stop yelling at Purple and stop chasing him. But Base yelled wishing that Purple wasn't born and that there parent's were still alive blaming him that everything that goes wrong. In the laundry room, Bit Counter and Booker found Purple sitting next to the washer where he's deeply sad. They walked over to him where Booker has a special bond with her adoptive son. She was able to cheer him up where she picked him up with her hooves, place him on her back and took him into the kitchen. They 2 made macaroni and cheese casserole. At night it was peaceful but the Bit Counter and Booker heard banging on the wall sounds and Bit Counter went into Purple's room to see Base is choking Purple with a blunt object but the unicorn father used his magic to pull Base off of him and take the blunt object. Purple wasn't breathing where Bit Counter took Purple next door and went into the fire house where he yelled for help. His son isn't breathing but the firefighter ponies took him to the hospital in the ambulance wagon. Bit couldn't go to sleep he just tossed and turned but he hit his alarm clock when it went off at 6:40 am. His loving and caring wife asked on why Purple isn't out of bed where he's the first one to come and eat. Bit Counter told her that last night that Base was trying to suffocate him with a blunt object. The fire dept took him to the hospital where he has a broken windpipe. At 8:00 am, Booker went to work for the 1st time at a diner where she's a line cook. At lease her shift wasn't long where it's from 8:00 to 2:30 pm and she makes 120 bits a day. After her first day of work she just galloped over to the hospital like nothing but didn't knock any ponies down. She was shocked in the waiting room to see her mother and mother-in-law sitting there. They told her that there sorry to hear about Purple but there just hoping that he makes a speedy recovery. She decided to see her son where he stuck a hoof out. She just said sadly "Purple. Don't worry Purple mommy's here. Mommy already here for you don't worry I'm always here for you." He couldn't talk due to he had a tube down this throat to help him breath. But Booker saw a tear go down his cheek and she doesn't want him to suffer. She doesn't want to see him suffer but there's nothing she can do it about it. She's split minded about it where she wants him to grow up, get married ,and have a family but she doesn't want him to have a tube down his throat to breathe. At home, Base came in after school. He was in the kitchen he was looking through the fridge for something to drink. He noticed his sister in the backyard sitting down but deeply sadden. He didn't care on how his sister is feeling not caring that she's sad that Purple is in the hospital. He asked Bit Counter on what's for dinner but he just flipped the next page of the book he was reading with his magic and ignored him. It was 3:30 pm when Booker came home and made mac and cheese. She only made enough noodles for her, Blue and her husband but she asked on where there isn't any for him where they just gave him the cold shoulder. But he would try to take a fork and take a bite of there's but they would block him. Base told them that he's hungry Blue told her older brother that he should've thought of that before he put Purple in the hospital. Booker told him that this is a form of punishment where for nearly killing his brother. So doesn't get nothing to eat. Base just stormed off to his room slamming the door where he laid down on his bed where he threw a baseball into the air with his wing. Soon the door opened and Bit Counter took all the stuff. So he couldn't read, write, or entertain himself like throwing a ball into the air but he told his adoptive father on that's not fair. Bit Counter told him "tough luck" and Base should think about it again on not to put his baby brother in the hospital. Booker told her husband and adopted daughter that the doctors say that it should take five to seven weeks until Purple is out of the hospital but they have to sedate him at night so Purple can sleep peacefully.
Memory LaneOn a nice evening it was Bit Counter, Booker and Purple they were sitting on a swinging chair where Booker had Purple on her lap petting him like a kitten or puppy while he napped. She asked her husband if he remembers when they were dating where he told her that a lot of picnic's they had as so called "Dates" there parents always broke them apart and would use their magic to carry them apart. Nine years ago. At a park at sunset Bit Counter and Booker were sitting on a park bench enjoying the sunset where they were about to kiss for the first time but before the two fifteen year old's could they heard two ponies clearing there throats. Booker chuckled but Bit Counter he scratched the back of his head where standing in front of them is Booker's father and Bit Counter's mother. The 2 love birds were in a magic aurora and there parents dragged them home but they couldn't where they tried to touch hooves. They couldn't due to by the time they tried there hooves were already 2 feet apart and couldn't reach. Back home on Celestia Blvd in the living room Bit Counter's mother told him that if she see's him with there rival's daughter then he'll be grounded for a month and after that he'll be grounded for a year. She's just going to let him off with a warning this time. At home on Pie Street in a Tudor style home that's roomy but in the kitchen Booker was making a sandwich but the kitchen is a chef's delight where her parents took her aside but told her peacefully to not to date there rival's son. She asked on why there rival's where her father said "Me and his father went into business together but we would work together and we made a lot of money." "One day i went out for lunch and i seen him in the conference room with the bosses and the client but he presented my design as our own but when i tried to explain that he stole my design but the bosses thought i was drunk or trying to steel what he did." He continued "I did my best to explain and i got fired so the bits i had so i created my design company!" he and his ex friend been rivals ever since. She asked if they could bury the hatchet where her father told her over his cold dead body then they'll get along again. What there parents didn't know didn't hurt them but at school the 2 would talk to each other but would put there school lunches together and that would've been there date even though he doesn't like Beets and she doesn't like milk due to she's Lactose Intolerant. They would also have a small kiss before they had to walk different ways to go home so there parents or family members won't see them together. Next Friday night the 2 were able to sneak out without there parents knowing. The two met at a movie theater, got a ticket, got a large popcorn, two drinks Bit Counter was a large Cola type soda, and Booker gotten a large root beer. They watched a cheesy romance film but near half way near the end the 2 had a big long smooch but the two unicorns left the movie theater at the end but went there way to go home undetected. At home Booker opened the door where her mother was sitting on in the living room couch where she said "Young lady do you know on what time it is?" where Booker told her it's 8:45 pm. Her mother told her it's 9:50 pm and demanded to know on where she went and was where she lied and told her that she was out at the movies and watched a cheesy romance film. Her mother told her light pink daughter to go upstairs and go to bed so she trotted upstairs and went to bed but in her head she called her mother a "Stupid Bitch" due to her mother is making her follow rules that she doesn't like. She was rudely awaken at 5:00 am by her father where she used her hoof to put her pillow on her face and said "Dad! Please let me sleep in damn it! I was busy last night and i want some fucking sleep!". Her father used his magic to make her to sit back up where he slapped his daughter across the face which hurted but it doesn't help that he had an horseshoe on. She asked on what in the world is his problem where his mix horseshoe which is made of steel and magnesium it hurts very much where he just said "Young lady you swear like that again your ass will be all red!". She just lied down, blew air out of her mouth, and put her pillow back over her face but she just wants sleep. She got dragged out of bed but hit her head on the door. Earlier at home Bit Counter his parents asked on where he was where he lied saying he was out with some friends where they asked if he was on a date where he lied and told them no. Bad thing is that when he lies he get's hiccups so his father asked on if he was on a date with the mare that they told him not to where he lied again and his parents called him out. He just said "One day I'm going to marry her and probably have a family with her so stop trying to get me to stay away from her! It's not working it has the opposite effect and if you keep at it we'll just run away and elope!". He then galloped upstairs to his bedroom and slammed where he got into bed all grouchy hating his parents. After awhile his parents opened the door to see him sleeping like a baby but his parents looked at him with a worried face but they walked over to him carefully but his mother sat on his bed kissing him on the forehead. Back in present day a 7 year old stallion pegasus asked them if Purple's available to play with but he was getting up from his nap anyway where Purple got off of his mother where she told him to go. Bit Counter and Booker watched there youngest adopted son and his two friend Jackpot Star a charcoal gray with brown hair & tail unicorn and scrumptious a mint green pegasus run having a race to the Canterlot drawbridge. Eight years ago. The two were on there 18th date where this time they were in a pizzeria where for 12 bits it's all that you can eat where they mostly ate the macaroni and cheese pizza, tomato pizza, and cheese pizza but had to pay 1 bit when they needed a drink for them. When they decided to look out a window while eating they seen a pony in a fedora and a three piece suit but Bit Counter used his magic and closed the shade for that window where he said "Don't worry about my father he ain't going to get us.". After they ate there three different pizza's Booker told him that the mac and cheese pizza well all of them are going to come back and bite her in the plot. She then pointed a hoof but quickly got out of there after giving him a quick smooch on the cheek where Bit Counter's father dragged him home where home he whipped his son with his belt. He then ordered his son to go upstairs to take a shower and to bed but he better not come out of the room for the rest of the night so he did on what his dad told him to. Several hours later. Bit Counter snuck downstairs, opened the back door, and galloped over to Booker's house where he threw pebbles at her bedroom window where she threw her two blankets down that are tied together. He climbed it but she whispered to him to keep it quiet but he gave her a quick kiss on the nose but she put her blankets back on her bed but had a long make out session on her bed but he placed his right front hoof onto her plot. He was in for a uncomfortable position where she had to place him under her bed which was tight but it was wide enough where they wouldn't see Bit Counter but she has to get up early for her. She kept him hidden but gotten caught when he had to burp but she rebelled against her parents and told them that she loves him and well if they want him they need to get through her. They just used there magic and threw him out face first where he said "OW! Son of a bitch!" but he help his nose in pain where his noise is broken. He went home to patch it up where his mother asked on what happened where he lied but told the truth as well saying he was out walking which now she knows the reason he wasn't in bed or at breakfast but told her that their rival's they assaulted him for no reason. She told him on now it's war but she took her son to the store but when he and Booker saw each other they pointed there hooves in a opposite direction and snuck away from there parents. They ran off but they both confessed there love for each other but there father's were there getting lunch at a street food vendor where they keep getting there same lunch for the past 22 years but they told there father's that they love each other and they better get use to it. Booker and Bit Counter told them as well that one day there going to be with each other and Bit Counter will be Booker's father son-in-law and Booker will be Bit Counter's daughter-in-law. The two agreed for the first time in 2 decades and 2 years and told them that they ain't going to be together and it's the final of that they ain't going to be together, get married and have a family. They countered argued saying that they shouldn't block them from true love and if they want to they can disown them. There father's didn't want to disown them but told them that they can date only on a few conditions where that is no touching, no kissing, and no having adult time. Bit Counter and Booker asked on what's adult time? They both said at the same time "Do you want to go to Tartarus?" where Bit Counter and Booker shook there heads no. They couldn't really date with there father's tailing them and trying to be sneaky but them wearing the same suits isn't good enough for them but there father's were easy to lose of taking the alleyways to lose them but it was ok.
The Empty Nest SyndromeSeven Years Later. Bit Counter and Booker are 31 years old, Base is already gone moved out to Manehattan where he's a baseball player for the Manehattan Solar's team, Blue she's 16 and Purple Artist he's fourteen years old. It was after school where the door opened where she thought it was her baby boy but just seen it was Blue where she asked her adoptive mom on what's for dinner where Booker told her it's Mac and Cheese with apple pie for desert. Booker asked on where's Purple Artist? Blue told her that he and his mare friend where it's Friday and he's taking her on a date where Booker asked on who's the lucky mare to date her lucky Purple where Blue she told her adoptive mom that she don't know. Booker pressed her for information but Blue only said "Mom! Purple only told me that he got a date but he will tell us more when he gets home.". Soon her husband came in where he asked her on if she's ok where she told him that she missus Purple where now that he's a teenager he prefers to be out mostly but Bit Counter told her to remember on the freedom they wanted away from there parents. She told her husband that Purple has a date where he told his wife on that he's lucky but also told her on hope he can tie the knot with her but as he get's older he might have a few other girlfriends. They both asked on how she is but she's feeling that the kids are leaving and her nest is getting smaller where Base already flew away then Blue is going to fly away even though she's a unicorn then Purple is going to fly away last but Blue told her that he's a momma boy and he won't go anywhere. She told them that she doesn't want him to waste his life to be with mom for the rest of his life where she wants him to go live his life to the fullest and that even means finding a mare to settle down with and father some healthy foals but she wants to be there when he get's wed and when her grand foals are born. They had dinner but Booker was sad that one day the remaining two will leave home and start there adventure as an adult's and they won't be there to tell them to go to bed, what to eat and not to eat, not to give advice, be there when they have nightmares, and won't take care of them not adding smothering them in kisses and hugs. On Monday morning when Booker was about to go to work her adoptive son Purple pulled her to the side to talk to her where he hugged her and said "Don't worry mom you and dad prepared us for the world but if we always need advice you and dad will be right here." but Purple then gave her a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. The 2 watched him run off to catch up with his friends but his unicorn and pegasus best friends teased with him on how he still hug and kisses his mother but she went to work but kept her sadness hidden but she can't keep it out of her mind that her adoptive daughter and adoptive son are going to leave one day. After work she seen Fourteen year old Purple Artist and Sixteen year old Blue sitting at the kitchen table doing there arithmetic homework together but also having fun where that placed a smile on her face where she's happy that the 2 are happy. She made them dinner but before she could get started she felt a tap on her back where it's Purple holding a hoof drawn photo which it's a picture of all of them even Base where it says under it "WE LOVE YOU MOM & DAD- LOVE PURPLE ARTIST & BLUE". A tear came to her eye where she hugged him tightly saying she loves it and will cherish it for the rest of her life. She also told him on now she knows his cutie mark is a number 2 pencil where he's a very good drawer where she always been confused on why his cutie mark is a pencil. She was asked by him on what does her cutie mark mean where it's a book where she told him that she's a bookworm and can read books more quickly then the average pony. She just told him that she's going to cherish this hug like every other hug the 2 ever shared and did but she sadly told him that when he walks out the front door for the final time she's going to miss these hugs. He just said to her in his southern United States accent "Don't worry mom! I'm always going to be here for you and dad." then he tugged her tightly in his hooves and wings. He also told her that no matter what emergency or not he'll always be ready to talk to her even if it's late at night he'll be available to socialize with her where she said "That's my baby boy." then the 2 hugged tighter. He then told her to go relax on where he got it from here so she sat on the couch. A half a hour later Bit Counter walked in and held in his laugh due to he wasn't expecting to see Purple Artist in a pink apron but he walked into the living room with a plate of Mac and Cheese in his dark moderate blue magic aurora and a Long Island Ice Tea. He placed it down next to her onto the end table and then he kissed her on the head. He told his wife on that there isn't something right with him where Bit Counter went into the kitchen to grab a plate but was shocked to see that Purple already made his, and Blue's then there adoptive son made his own plate but after dinner when Blue, Bit Counter and Booker went outside they watched Purple and his 2 friends race each other to the Canterlot Draw bridge. Purple told them while they were running that there not going to be using there magic but the last one there is a rotten fish even though they won't eat fish. Four years later. The couple are now 35 but Blue she's now twenty, and Purple he's now eighteen but at the front door Purple hugged Bit Counter and Booker very tightly. Booker cried a little bit where she doesn't want her baby to leave home but Purple said "If your going to cry all the time then I will bring you two with me on where the military sends me!". She told him not to go where he told her that he's not going into the military to serve his country but he's doing it to protect them from there enemies. She said to Purple "I remember like yesterday when Bit Counter brought you, Blue, and Base home from the Country out of a orphanage and I remember on how cute you were as a foal. You were adorable now and you're still adorable as you were Eighteen Years ago." He told them that he doesn't care that he's adopted where family isn't on who well he doesn't know on where foals come from but it's on who raises them like family as if their own. Another Four year's later. In Ponyville the two thirty-nine year old's watched on Purple get married to a blue unicorn with light blue body and dark blue hair but they were happy but after 8 months (his wife Blue Badge was 2 months pregnant when they got wed) the two were in the Ponyville General Hospital. In the delivery room the two met there grand foals which melted Booker's heart where she remembers holding Purple for the first time when they first met when he was a few months old but he was a quiet baby but she told them anytime they need any help they'll be available. She just said "This was a Unusual Family. Unicorns always asked on how i birthed a pegasus or an alicorn. Some stallions in my workplace thought there was a alicorn male that impregnated me deeming me responsible to have such foal. Some even though I'm a child or some great grand foal or something like that of Princess Celestia." Purple did tell them that he was happy that they were the ones that raised him into the kind gentle stallion he is but they told him that he was that his entire life. Bit Counter asked on what the two do for a living where Purple told them that he's a Fire stallion and his wife is a Police mare but every now and then he volunteers his time doing community service but they asked on the foal's name where Blue Badge said "Bit Accountant & Bookworm. Don't look at me he wanted foals that would remind him of you two. If your his parents?" They told her that there his adoptive parents where Bit Counter told them that Purple's birth parents were killed by Timberwolves and reports say that he was only three days old. Even though Booker suffered from the Empty Nest Syndrome for awhile everywhere she looked at home was nothing but reliving flashbacks of raising the three but was sad when Purple told them when they were at his & Blue Badge's house that they couldn't have done a better job of raising them. He also told them that out of all foals that Bit Counter looked at but he's lucky that he got him, Blue and Base but when they asked on where's Blue where Purple sadly told them that she went to Appleloosa and was poisoned in the saloon. His adoptive mom gave him a card that his parents wrote for him to that his actual parents wrote before they left Sire's Hollow and gotten killed by Timberwolves. He heard a Appalachian accent and a Mid Atlantic accent say "Happy 3rd day of being our pride of joy. We hope your the son there is and just be yourself. Don't you ever change the way you are you three day old boy.". The moderate purple alicorn stallion he fell down to the hardwood floor with tears streaming down his face where he never met his real parents but his adoptive parents went over to him and placed there hooves around him but he just cried on his adoptive mother's shoulder. She just patted him on the back telling him it's ok but it's okay to cry but well he had the card on him when the Country of Equestria took him and his siblings in and well they kept the card until they were finally adopted out and well gave Bit Counter the card but he didn't open the card due to it's labeled as "TO: PURPLE ARTIST. LOVE: MOM & DAD" Author's Note This is an Alt Universe where on who Purple marries isn't like in "The Life of Purple Artist" or any other universes where he's married to his ex marefriend Blue Sapphire a dark blue unicorn (who comes from a family that's rich but name there foals after there coat color and birth month gemstone) or Target (a cream coated unicorn who's Purple's wife in other universes)
Parent's dayAt the elementary school Bit Counter was there in his suit but he don't really know on how to tell the kids on how exciting his job is where it isn't and three of his adopted son Purple's classmates there father's and one of there mother's is in the fire department and well next door to there house is a fire station. After he waited for his turn where he did where he introduced himself as "Mr. Bit Counter" and well he works in a office where it isn't really exciting like being a firefighter or a police officer but the perks are that it ain't as hot or dangerous but not as exciting. He wasn't up there for long where he couldn't really explain on how he does his job of sitting at a desk from eight in the morning to four at evening just typing on a typewriter but it isn't like he said ain't exciting nor what his wife does ain't exciting of being a housewife but they have normal lives. In the hallway after his turn he just went to go get a drink of water of not knowing on how the colts and fillies in the school but when the school bell rang for the students to go to different classes he went back to work. After school and work Booker asked on how was Parent's day where Bit Counter told her that he didn't inspire the colts and fillies in the class about his work where unlike the other student's parents there either a cop, firefighter or something that's interesting. He just made himself a Long Island Ice tea but the two heard fighting where they both said "Not again!" they said when heard fighting. It was Base and Purple fighting each other on who'll go in through in first but the two are in the door frame shoving each other but Base hurted his baby brother by slamming the door on his head but the four year old was sitting holding his head but said that it hurts badly. At the hospital the doctor told the two that the door was slammed so hard it cracked a part of his skull so they had Purple go to lay on his bed and just stay there but had Purple to be home schooled until his skull is fully healed but they both yelled at Base for hurting his baby brother like that. Blue she stayed by Purple's side so Booker wouldn't have too besides when she's homeschooling him but Booker would always kiss Purple on the head to make him feel special but Bit Counter would just give him a pat on his back and would tell him that he's a good son.
