A New Year in an Old House

Home is where the Heart is

New year. Same old home.

At least, that's what Applejack wanted to say. The house hadn't changed any, but the home sure had. For starters, about two or three years ago, AJ had fallen for a certain red stallion. It turned out, he fell for her too. They did what they could to not get caught, tried to act normal. When nobody else was around, they would take advantage. But, despite it all, Granny figured them out. Apparently, she had cousins who tried the same thing, so the elder was able to notice the signs. She gave them a rule, no 'getting up in each other's space' while Apple Bloom was in the house.

This was easy. Sure, they wanted to just cuddle up together and enjoy a kiss here or there, but it made sense. While Granny could roll with the punches, that old mare was shameless sometimes, it was best not to have to try to explain things to Applebloom if they could help it. Which is what made the current situation all the crazier to the two.

For starters, Granny had a bad fall a few months back and decided it might be time to give up on the tough act and admit she can't run the farm anymore. She admitted herself to an assisted living complex Twilight had built the year before. The elderly ponies were given their own houses and an on call staff. Granny said she wanted to live her own life, but needed some help if she called.

The Apple siblings knew this was probably for the best. Even though they always believed Granny would live on that farm until she died, her injury made it clear that would be too difficult. Unless one of them took on helping Granny 24/7, they ran the risk of being too far in the orchard to know she needed them.

The next curveball came a few weeks back as Apple Bloom moved out. She and her friends were starting to help out in the school of Friendship more and more and were allowed on campus housing thanks to Starlight Glimmer. They, of course, accepted. Applejack had expected the three to come running to their homes after a few days, but it really looked like they were in for the long haul. Applejack couldn't help but feel proud, but also empty seeing her little sister leave home.

Of course, there was a certain excitement to it all too. After a small get-together with Granny and Apple Bloom on Hearth's Warming, this would be the first holiday since the two moved out. The first holiday alone with her special someone. The first year they didn't have to hide anything at home.

Which led to her current state. She was curled up, tucked away as the little spoon to her brother at her back. She let out a sleepy sigh and cuddled back into her brother with a grin, his arm wrapped over her waist, holding her close.

This caused him to stir as well, "mornin'."

Applejack glanced at the clock and chuckled. "It's 11:30 at night."

"Don't care." Big Mac leaned over her shoulder and kissed her cheek from behind. "Far as I'm concerned, your smile is brighter than the sun and twice as beautiful. So it's morning."

Damn him and his poetic tongue. Applejack couldn't help but giggle. Yes, an actual giggle. Big Mac, as it turned out, had a way with words that got to her. She rolled over in his arm and was now lying facing him with a grin. "Bright enough for you?"

"Blinding." Mac grinned and leaned in to close the distance between them. Their lips met not long after.

And Applejack melted. Her hands traced up his bare chest as their kiss stretched on. It felt like eternity stretched on before them, as though nothing could ruin this moment.

After a while, they broke away. Big Mac gave her cheek another kiss before speaking. "Come on now. If we're gonna celebrate New Years, we'll need to get up."

But Applejack just smirked and used her position and his grogginess to push him onto his back as she straddled his waist. The blanket which once hid them fell away to reveal they'd been rather bare. Not completely, Big Mac still had his boxers and AJ had a bra and panties on, but it was clearly not a situation most siblings got into. "Ah think we can celebrate right here."

Big Mac grinned and reached up, flicking her nose lightly. "Come on now. It's just another thirty minutes. I don't want to be tired for you. More importantly, we're gonna need everything we got. Remember?"

Applejack paused a moment before smiling. "Oh yeah. We're finally doin' this."

"Eeyup."

With that reminder, Applejack rolled off her brother and onto her feet. Her tail swished a bit, as if to tease the eyes she knew were on her rear. She smirked and swayed her hips as she grabbed a shirt hanging on the bedpost. "See you downstairs."

"Be down in a sec." Big Mac sat over the edge of the bed and stretched. The big guy was always slow to get moving, but when he did…

Applejack felt a shiver of anticipation. Soon.

But her mood took a dip as soon as she hit the last step of the stairs. Ding dong. The doorbell went off. At 11:36 PM. AJ was instantly on edge. Nobody just showed up this late. She buttoned up the shirt and made her way to the door. Opening it just a bit, she took a peak outside. "Can't ah help you?"

"Hi AJ!" That voice was way too familiar and that bow didn't hide her identity at all.

"Apple Bloom?" Applejack pulled the door open to find her little sister standing in the snow, bundled up of course. "What are ya doin' here?" She immediately caught her words and tried to correct. "Not that ah ain't glad to see you, but it's super late and you didn't even let us know you were coming."

"Yeah, sorry." The youngest Apple look to the side, nervously. "I kind of had to leave the apartment tonight last minute."

"What? Why?"

Apple Bloom took a deep breath before answering. "Scootaloo's havin' her boyfriend over."

It took a second, but AJ got it after a moment. "Oh. Got it. Come on in."

Scootaloo had a similar disposition to Rainbow, in that they tended to have rather physical relationships. Ever since she hit her sexual maturity, i.e. became an adult by Equestrian standards, every relationship got intimate. Fast. She wasn't sleeping around or anything, but it definitely sped along.

As Apple Bloom entered the home, AJ closed the door and made for the kitchen nearby. "How's about ah make some hot chocolate for us? Help warm you up."

"Ah'd appreciate it." For some reason, Bloom's eyes cast to AJ's chest and then away quick.

AJ just focused on putting on a kettle to boil the water. "Just hafta wait for it now. This is why you call ahead."

"Yeah. Sorry." There she goes again.

This time, AJ caught it, however. "Something on mah shirt?" She looked down, expecting a stain or something. What she found was a big green Apple half on the upper left chest. This was Mac's shirt. Uh oh. Think! Explain this in a way that makes sense! She tried to stay relaxed as she spoke. "Huh. Guess ah picked up the wrong shirt. Kinda rushed once the doorbell rang." Good. It's true and believable.

"But why Big Mac's shirt?"

Crap! Applejack just shrugged. She was an awful lier and not the most creative of girls. Right now, silence was golden.

"Hey AJ!" Saved by the brother. Big Mac descended the last stair and looked toward the kitchen area. "Who was at the door?"

"It's Apple Bloom!" She shouted back.

Said sister called out soon after, "Hi Big Mac!"

Mac turned the corner to poke his head into the kitchen and grinned upon confirming the scene. "Oh hey!" He finally rounded the wall and entered the kitchen proper.

And AJ was so happy he did. Big Mac had taken to wearing only a set of pajama pants for the past few years, and since it was so late today was no different. The man had to have been sculpted by gods, as far as Applejack was concerned. He wasn't overly muscular, but he had that farmer's tone to him that was just so good. She wanted nothing more than to drag him back to that room and just stay there all night. But, her rational mind returned and she shook her head slightly, hoping she hadn't drooled or anything. She took a sideways glance to Apple Bloom to make sure she wasn't suspicious.

But what AJ saw was an interesting sight. For starters, Apple Bloom was deliberately avoiding directly looking at Mac. Sure, she was looking in the direction of Big Mac, but not directly at him. It was a tactic AJ herself had used before she confronted Mac over her feelings and start to stare in earnest without feeling guilty. Looking at Bloom now was like looking in a mirror from those years ago.

Wait… could she…?

But any thoughts were cut off by a ringing sound. Apple Bloom. Reached into her pocket and pulled out a small notebook. It was a prototype of some kind of long range communication thing Twilight created after her second trip through that weird mirror. Twilight had handed one out to each of her friends and their families to give it a test run.

Bloom closed the book and let out a nervous chuckle. "So… that was Sweetie Belle. Scootaloo is basically claiming the house for the rest of New Years." Veiled code about the young girl spending time with her boyfriend. "So, can I stay here for the night?"

Before even a moment to think, AJ responded. "Well 'course you can. Ah don't know why's you think you can't."

"Uh… no reason. I'm gonna get changed then. Be right back." With that, Apple Bloom left the kitchen.

Once they were alone, Big Mac looked up to the clock on the wall. "12:02. Guess we'll have to wait for our plan, huh?" When he was met with silence, he turned to his sister. "AJ?"

But Applejack was looking toward the stairs. "Big Mac. Ah'm thinking something might be up with Apple Bloom."

"How do you mean?"

"Well, call me crazy but, ah think she might have eyes for ya."

The kettle finally boiled over and a loud ringing of steam escaping filled the room. As Big Mac took care of the boiling water, he reeled a bit at what AJ said. "Ya think?"

AJ got the cups down and started preparing the hot chocolate as she answered. "Yeah. It was like looking back in time."

Big Mac was quiet for a bit. The only sound that came out of his mouth was, "huh."

"That's all you can say to that."

"Eeyup."

Great. He's in one-word mode. Applejack sighed, falling in her chair and slumping onto the table.

"You know," Big Mac surprised her by speaking up again as he put her hot chocolate in front of her. "Think'n back, Granny said we weren't supposed to get… intimate while Apple Bloom is home. She didn't say we had to keep it a secret."

"What are ya gettin' at, Big Mac?"

"Jus' sayin'." Big Mac sat down next to her, his own mug in his hands as it rested on the table. "Sides. If you're right, better to let her down with the truth than get her hopes up for nothing. Right?"

Applejack took a moment before she sighed. "You're right. She deserves to know."

"Ah knew for a while." Both of the older siblings were instantly on their feet, causing Mac's coco to fall onto the table. Apple Bloom was standing in the doorway to the kitchen, dressed in her green pajama pants and a pink tank top.

But Applejack was quick to pick up what was said. "You kn-... You knew?!"

"Yeah." Apple Bloom didn't move, but seemed to fidget in place. "Sorry ah didn't say nothin'. But you didn't either. And… if we're sharin'... ah kind of have something to admit too."

The older siblings were silent, waiting for what was to follow.

Apple Bloom took a deep breath before she continued. "Ah… like you. Both of you. Like how you like each other."

This caught them off guard. AJ had expected her to admit feelings for their brother. That was understandable. But both of them? Wait. Was that why she was staring at my chest before?

Apple Bloom seemed to try to shrink down as she stood in the door. "Ah'm sorry I ruined your night."

Both of the elder siblings felt a pang of sympathy for the girl. But there was something else. They glanced to each other to confirm what they were feeling. A silent conversation played out between the two. And, after a moment, a consensus was formed between them. Big Mac started to clean up while AJ would explain the idea. She was always better at getting things across, anyway.

Applejack turned back to her sister and sighed. "Ya ain't ruined nothin' sugarcube." She stood up and made her way over to Apple Bloom. She wrapped her arms around the younger girl and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Come on AJ. Ah know I interrupted something. You're wearing Big Mac's shirt."

"Truth is, we weren't gonna do nothin' until midnight. And that passed a bit ago. But that doesn't matter." It was hard to hide her disappointment thinking about what they'd planned.

And Apple Bloom picked that up. "You had something big planned."

"Ah mean…"

Apple Bloom fidgeted again. "W-what was it?"

Applejack blinked in surprise. Now why would she want to know that? She can probably figure it out since she APPARENTLY already knew what we were up to. "Well… that's kind of… Ah shoot. How do I put this?"

Big Mac was quiet, as usual, observing the scene. And so, he asked the question AJ forgot in the surprise. "How long you known what we're up to?"

Now Apple Bloom was looking away from eye contact. "Well… I kind of found out that time when you were in the barn last year."

"That long?!" AJ shouted.

Apple Bloom shrunk a bit into herself. "Kinda."

Mac crossed his arms and tapped his bicep in thought. "And ah'm gettin' the feeling that ain't the only time."

This caused AJ to look back to Apple Bloom who, again, found the floor very interesting. Bloom squirmed under the combined gaze and eventually cracked. "Kinda."

"How often is kinda?"

Bloom groaned her answer at first but knew she wasn't getting away from this. "Ah kind of tried to watch yall whenever you were doin' that."

AJ nearly fell backwards from the shock. Thankfully, Mac was quick and caught her before she could.

Apple Bloom was shaking as she kept her sight line downward. "Ah'm sorry! It's just," she started to calm a little, but was clearly not 'okay,' "after that first time… Ah couldn't get yall out of my head. After that, ah couldn't ignore it and ah just…" She slowed down and couldn't find it in her to continue. "Ah'm sorry."

AJ and Mac glanced at each other again. A silent conversation playing out between them, all focused on a single question. What should we do?

In the end, Applejack moved over next to her sister and engulfed the younger Apple in a hug. "It's okay, Sugarcube."

Apple Bloom let out a quick sniffle. "It is?"

"Ah mean… the spyin' part's a little concerning. But it's fine. Right Mac?"

Mac nodded, not saying anything. It was clear he was still unsure of their next move. Which didn't help AJ since she was kind of hoping he'd figure something out by now.

Apple Bloom buried her face in AJ's chest, a gesture that didn't give Applejack any kind of emotional effect until tonight. The youngest Apple mumbled something, but before either of the older siblings could ask her anything, she looked back up to AJ's eyes as she asked the question instead. "Do ya think… yall could like me too?"

This caught the two off guard. Did she really just ask us THAT?! A shared glance confirmed they both heard it. And so, it was they had a new decision to make. After a moment, Big Mac closed his eyes and lowered his head a bit. It was sign to AJ that he'd defer to her decision, no matter what it was.

AJ turned back to Bloom, still waiting for an answer. Could we? Sure, Bloom's as cute as they come, but… But her thoughts were broken off as she really considered herself. Ahh, fuck it. AJ tightened her hug around her sister, "Ah… ah think we can."

Apple Bloom's mood was instantly on a high as she looked up toward AJ, "Really?!"

"Now hold on." Big Mac had to keep her in check. "Truth is, we don't know. AJ and I had our crushes and found out over a year. This is very sudden."

But AJ wouldn't hold back now. "It's fine. You can't deny thinkin' she's cute."

Mac had to concede that, so he was silent.

Bloom smiled and rested her head on her sister's chest. "Thank you." After a moment though, her curiosity got the better of her. "You never did tell me what you two had planned though."

AJ let out a sigh. "Ah though we got around that…"

Mac shook his head, having had time and a new revelation to think of how best to answer. Bluntness was now the best option. "We were lookin' to expand the family."

Bloom's face turned pink as she thought about what he just said. "O-oh. So yall were gonna… try to have a baby."

"That was the idea."

"Well, uh… sorry I kind of ruined your plans."

But now AJ wasn't having that. "Who says they gotta be ruined?"

Mac turned to her, the look on his face practically screaming, what are you getting at?

Bloom had a similar, albeit more subdued look. "What do ya mea-"

Apple Bloom was cut off as AJ leaned in and brought their lips together. It was a simple kiss, the kind she shared with Big Mac when this all started. But it was far from chaste. There was a passion in there that was undeniable at this point. As they separated, AJ gave a glance to Mac, who looked like a deer in the headlights, gesturing to him to approach them. It was obvious what she was up to.

But, Mac walked over to the two as AJ took a step to the side. A still dazed Apple Bloom looked up to her brother, lost in the moment that just passed. Mac had to lean in a little more than AJ, but his lips found Bloom's as they embraced. This time, Bloom wasn't quite as surprised and was able to move her arms over her brother’s shoulders, leaning into the kiss. All the while, AJ fidgeted to the side.

Eventually, someone had to crack. And, to the shock of none of the Apple siblings, it was AJ. She righted herself as she stood, a sultry look in her eye, "Aight, I think we waited long enough then. Either we're up in that room in the minute, or we're doin' this right here!"

Mac chuckled as he pulled his lips from Bloom, "Hot as that could be, maybe the kitchen ain't the best place."

Bloom was finally able to speak again from the shock of love/lust and offered, "the living room is right over there."

Big Mac took a long breath as he looked back down to the scene at hand. He was used to seeing AJ playing with his cock, licking up the side of the shaft as she practically smirked with her eyes. What he wasn't used to was Apple Bloom wrapping her lips around the head and licking at the crown. Even less used to both doing that at the same time.

The three had discarded their clothing by this point, all as nude as the day they were born. Bloom had seemed embarrassed at first, but AJ got her to come around pretty quickly with a compliment and pulling Mac's trousers away. But now, Apple Bloom was practically throwing herself into the sensations.

So much so, that Applejack saw Mac tense up and take in a sharp breath. It was only a matter of time before he blew his first load. AJ knew she had to intervene. She tapped Bloom's head and had her pull off.

The younger sister heeded the older, but her pout made it clear she wasn't happy about it. "What's wrong?"

"Nothin's wrong, Sugarcube.” AJ gave her sister a kiss on the cheek. “You remember what Mac and Ah said our plans were?”

Apple Bloom blinked for a moment before realization hit her. “Oh! Right. You’d want to…”

AJ smiled and kissed Bloom again. “Don’t you worry, Sugarcube. At least let us get one in for our chance.”

Bloom nodded and moved away as AJ got into position atop Mac’s lap. But Bloom wasn’t out of things just yet. A gleam appeared in her eyes as she pressed herself against her sister’s back. Her arms wrapped around AJ and her hands latched onto AJ’ breasts. This caused AJ to jump before Bloom pinched down onto her nipples. “Ah did say ah’ve been watchin’ y’all, remember.” She peaked around from behind AJ to smirk toward her brother, “Go on, Mac.”

Mac would have been shocked by the seeming change in his littlest sister. But he really didn’t care right now. He pushed his hips up and pushed past AJ's folds. It was a feeling he knew well, but with Apple Bloom’s assistance, AJ was clenching down on his dick harder than usual. It was likely the effect of the new sensations with a new addition. It was infinitely harder to keep himself together. The way she was bouncing her hips was mesmerizing. Their younger sister gave AJ’s nips another tug, causing the older girl to arch her back with a loud moan. Both AJ and Mac were holding off on sex until today, hoping to make it more special, and they were all the more sensitive for it.

"F-fuck!" AJ moaned as she pounded herself onto her brother's dick. "Ah… ah can't take much more."

Truth was, neither could Mac. The first round tended to be the quickest, and tonight was no different. Mac brought his hands up to her hips, a small signal to tell her where he stood. As AJ pulled up a bit, she fell back down onto his cock. Both of them let out a moan as their climaxes hit. They stayed there for a moment, their breathing heavy.

Then, AJ felt the pinch on her nipples again. She'd actually forgotten Bloom was there a second, and that pull was making it clear she wasn't having that any longer. "Alright! Alright. Ah gotcha." As AJ let out a breath, she slowly pulled herself up. "Ah got the first one in, so ah'll move. Sides, ah think I need a moment."

As AJ stepped to the side, Bloom's confidence fell as fast as it appeared. She took a few deep breaths and moved over to her brother, stroking his re-hardening cock. "You're already gettin' hard again?"

"Mac's always had a lot of stamina." AJ explained.

Bloom was always a stubborn girl, so she decided now was her moment. She started to mount her brother's lap and placed her hands on his shoulders. She was a bit shorter than her sister, but she was a good size for her position.

But then Mac just had to still be a good brother. "You sure you want to do that? It might be too much."

"Ah'll be okay." But Bloom was mentally preparing herself as much as dissuading her brother’s fears. "'Sides, ah ain't gonna give no one else my first now. Best to just try." She took a very deep breath and moved herself to meet Mac, slowly spreading her folds on his cock. She knew better to try to keep up the same pace AJ had. She didn't have the experience, but she wasn't stopping now.

Bloom slowly decended onto more of Mac's cock, causing him to take in a sharp breath. He could feel the sharp stop as Bloom's virginity was truly taken, only for her to push past the moment and sink further. "Y-ya don't have to push yourself too hard."

Bloom just shook her head. "Ah'll let ya know if it's too much." But a light slip made her take in too much and let out an, "eep!" She stayed in that spot as she used Mac's shoulders for balance.

Hands suddenly came to rest on Bloom's shoulders. AJ was up again and behind her. Bloom expected revenge, but there was only that loving smile. "This might make it easier." AJ pulled Bloom back to lie down on top of her sister as Mac followed them to a kneeling position on the couch. As AJ held her sister, planting a small kiss on her cheek, she smiled up to Mac, "Remember, she still needs it gentle."

Mac nodded and re-entered Bloom's pussy as he moved slow. As she squirmed underneath him, he was listening for any change in her breathing or desire. But nothing changed. So, he pushed himself further inside. After Bloom let out a quick squeak, he stopped and let her get her bearings.

Bloom had to take several breaths before she could speak again. "It feels… so full~"

AJ leaned up from behind Bloom and kissed her cheek. "Alright. That's where we'll start ya. Go ahead Mac. She's earned it."

Big Mac nodded and started to pump his hips back and forth. He moved with gentle, light thrusts as Bloom was getting used to things. As she started to calm, he picked up his pace a bit. This process went on for a few minutes before they started to match AJ's pace before. Bloom had reached up and wrapped her arms over his shoulders while her legs wrapped around his waist. All the while, AJ was underneath them, her own legs hanging to either side, one hanging over the side of the couch, as she held her sister. It all felt so… surreal.

Apple Bloom half expected this to be a dream. That she'd wake up and find that she'd just been back at the apartment and frustrated from another hopeful night's image. Luna can judge her all she wants, but if this was a dream, she didn't want to wake up.

But when Mac tensed up, she knew she was wide awake. Time seemed to slow. She knew he was about to warn her of his impending climax.. What should she tell him? Was she willing to risk having a child now? That thought send a jolt through her. She knew what she had to do. Before Mac could even suggest otherwise, she tightened her grip around him. "Please, Mac."

AJ leaned slightly to the side, as some way to try to look in her sister’s eyes, "You sure, Sugarcube? Mac an ah've been plannin' this, but you still…"

She was cut off as Bloom shouted, "Ah don't care! 'Sides, Ah'm just helpin' teach right now. Havin' a young'un won't change that. S-so please-”

Applejack leaned forward from behind her sister and rested her chin on the other’s shoulder, “This isn’t something you should rush into. But Ah get the feeling you’d been thinkin’ about this for a while.”

“Ah have! So please!”

AJ smiled, “Please what?”

Apple Bloom’s grip on her brother tightened further, her fingers feeling like they could dig into his skin on his back. “Please! Give me what you gave AJ! Make me a momma, too!”

Mac tensed before he couldn’t hold himself back anymore. He thrust into Apple Bloom one more time as he finally released his seed inside her. As she cried out, he could feel her fingernails threatening to break skin as she rode out her own orgasm. It took her a moment to finally loosen up a bit and allowed him to pull back a bit. He fell to a sitting position before the two, taking in the scene in front of him as AJ practically cradled their sister as she came down from her sexual high.

Apple Bloom’s breathing started to slow a bit so she could talk again, “That… that was…” She paused as she tried to catch her breath. “Ah can’t explain it. In a good way.”

AJ chuckled and scooted herself forward underneath her sister, giving Mac enough room to reach her folds, “While she rests, how about we add to our chances~?”

Mac sighed, “We ain’t gonna be sleepin’ for a while, are we?”

Bloom started to giggle, drunk off her first time. “Ah can go another~”

AJ chuckled, “You heard her. But Ah still need my second round. And Ah know you’ve got enough in ya. So, come on, Big bro~”

Mac sighed before forming a good natured smile. “Now that’s just cheating.” But he leaned back over and brought his lips to AJ’s. With a light pass back, he kissed Apple Bloom as well to be fair. And, of course, AJ turned their sister’s head to kiss her as well.

The silence of the night was short, especially nowadays. Big Mac often had to start and end his days rather early these days. As Mac fell onto the couch, he let out a heavy sigh. A sudden chill fell onto his cheek, causing him to look upward. He found his youngest sister smiling down at him with a cider glass in hand for him. He smiled and took the glass with a, “thank you,” and took a sip.

It's been about a month and a half since the School of Friendship let out for the year. Apple Bloom moved back into the farm not long after. Things started to feel all the more normal, and Bloom's been a big help to Big Mac. Especially now that AJ was… unable to handle the harder work.

"Ah can just feel that you're whining about work in your head, Mac." AJ stepped through the door and the reason why was very easy to see. That night on New Years had been a success, so to speak. It'd only been half way through the pregnancy and the signs were still early, but it was noticeable and everyone involved wanted her to take it easy.

Mac shook his head with a grin, "Nope. You must be imagining things."

AJ slowly descended onto the couch, sitting next to him, "Sure. Ah believe you~" She gave him a joking wink.

Apple Bloom sat on the other side with the biggest grin. "By the way, Ah got news." Apple Bloom held up a small device with the biggest grin on her face, "Ah'm pregnant now too."

AJ smiled and reached her arm around Big Mac to take Bloom's hand in hers, "That's great to hear!"

Big Mac knew that'll make things harder around the farm for a bit when the time came. However, he just smiled as he wrapped his arms around his sisters. It was more than worth it as far as he was concerned.

Author's Note

Welp, another attempt at this. I hope you enjoyed.
