They arrived back home in Dodge Junction. They had left the kirin town early in the morning to arrive home just after sunset, their stomachs full and their minds clear. The foals were asleep as they entered, and they did all they could to wake them up, but it was to no avail.

Winter froze when he felt a colt holding tighter than a sleeping foal should. He sank to his haunches and hugged Spruce back gently. "We're home."

"We're home," sleepily retorted Spruce, nuzzling in warmly with his father. "Thank you."

Winter lifted an ear at that. "You're always welcome, but what are you thanking me for?"

Spruce looked up at Winter with a tired expression. "For coming on that trip with me." He looked so peaceful. "It was a lot of fun." His eyes drifted closed as he spoke, then shot open, wide awake. "I can do it!" He slipped from Winter's grip, half-falling to the ground and starting his way towards his room.

He still shared with the others, too young to be bothered by such arrangements. Winter trailed after him, but he went straight to his bed, climbed up onto it, and flopped over with a smile and little grunts. In moments, he was asleep.

Winter stepped closer, leaning in to brush his nose against Spruce's. "I love you too."

Winter retreated to the living room where Summer and Maple waited for him, smiling with the knowing smile of mothers everywhere. They met for a three-way hug, nuzzles to spare among them.

Maple leaned back with a gentle laugh. "We are so gosh lucky. Thank you for taking us on that trip. I had a lotta fun."

"Me too." Summer smooched Maple's cheek, then hugged Winter close "And you saw their faces. They really enjoyed that. Ah think they really needed it, ah do. Seein' other kirin. Spending time with 'em. They fit in with the others." She flushed lightly. "It was hard to say goodbye."

Winter brought his hooves to his chest. "I understand that. It took me time to be alright being a kirin like them. It must have been a leap for them, especially Spruce and Dawn. They don't even look like kirin, but—"

Maple shook her head quickly. "—But they are. They're way more kirin than ah'll ever be." She pointed at herself with an ear to the side. "100% earth pony right here."

"Which makes you so amazing, sweetie." Summer pressed against her. "Yer the glue that holds this relationship together. We love you."

"We love you." Winter stepped to her other side, the three of them standing with their sides together. "Ponies or kirin don't matter, here." His ornate tail curled and flicked gently. "We are a family, and I love all of you so much."

The three of them sighed contentedly, and their tails curled and writhed in time, as one. They settled down together on the couch, their tails pressed against one another. They took a moment to look down, admiring the swirling patterns that their tails traced into the air together.

Maple burst into a fit of giggles. "We must be tired, so distracted by this right now." And yet, she didn't look away from the mass of their joined tails, a living symbol of their unity in that moment.

Winter laid his head against the back of the sofa. "Perhaps. It has been quite an eventful week." He peered into Maple's eyes with a serene smile. "I'm very glad you all came with me."

Summer snorted at that. "Couldn'ta paid me not to come alon'. That was tons ah fun." She nuzzled into Winter's cheek. "And, look who snuck somethin' away?" She curled on herself and pulled out a book clenched in her teeth. "Tada!"

"Where'd ya get that?" Maple leaned in, still laughing at their silliness. "Looks expensive."

Winter studied it with a curious gaze. "Is that, it is." Winter's horn glowed as he plucked it up and held it up where all could see it. "A cookbook! With kirin recipes. How'd you sneak it out?"

Summer pointedly turned her snout to the ceiling and averted her eyes. "Ah mighta asked to buy it, was all."

Maple stuck out her tongue at that. "The way you were goin', thought you nabbed it or somethin'. Don't tease us like that." She reached up for the book. "A fine thin' to buy. We'll try some kirin recipes then. If they're half as tasty as what we had jus' now, it's gonna be great. Ah'll call it a win."

Winter smiled at the conversation of his beloved partners. "So, shall we go to bed?" He set the cookbook aside carefully. "We don't need to worry about anything else tonight."

Soft noises of agreement rose and they all rose as one, not willing to separate just yet. With gently entwined tails, they marched off to their bedroom. They peeled the clothes off their bodies, tossing them into the laundry basket. The house had grown warmer, so they weren't likely to need blankets that night, at least, they'd thought.

They crawled into their large bed and cuddled up with a happy sigh. Maple nipped gently, working along Summer's fuzzy ear. "Is it wrong ah'm feelin' a little frisky?"

Summer gently pawed at Maple's nibbling snout. "Runs in this family, but ah'm more tired than frisky. Oh, done reminded me." She nudged Winter. "If yer still awake, ah started takin' herbs to make sure there ain't more foals. The ones we got are more'n enough an' ah want to focus on 'em." She turned to curl her tail up between Winter's legs, tickling at his privates. "Maybe more kirin foals sometime soon. Wouldn't that be interestin'?"

Maple grunted. "Not so tired." She lowered her head to lick at Summer as if to rouse her towards more play, rather than sleep.

Winter hugged both his wives gently. "Want me to get out of here?" He yawned thunderously. "I really am tired."

Summer squeaked. "I am not kicking you out of our bed."

Maple folded her arms. "You are invited too." But he didn't reply, save for quiet little breathing noises of a sleeping kirin. "Oh." She leaned over to nose at Summer gently, then tossed her head. The two nodded at one another and slipped gently from the bed.

"Ain't no fun without him, but they're all still in their room, right?" Summer snickered as they crept down the hallway. "I reckon we can do somethin' to tire us out." She pointed to another room they used less often, but there was another soft bed within that they could use for more risque activities, at least without disturbing their young.

Maple stepped up and grabbed the handle for her lover, opening the door and letting her enter before closing the door and pressing into her. "Ah love you in ways jus' sayin' it ain't cuttin' it." She rubbed up against the naked pony under her. "You've helped me learn lots of things about myself, things ah thought ah'd never do." Her whole body rubbed against Summer in a most pleasing fashion.

Summer held Maple gently, grinding up against her with smoldering eyes. "You chased after me fer how many years, and ah didn't even know you were behind me." She lowered her hooves to Maple's rump, feeling along her powerful legs in that sensitive area, where ponies couldn't see without craning their necks.

Maple puffed up, her flanks wiggling back and forth under the touches. "At first, I felt like ah wanted to be your friend. But as time went on, ah saw you were beautiful, smart, and talented." She gently nipped at Summer, nestling in close. "Did ah mention pretty?" She moved her front hooves to rub along the strong, stocky, back of Summer, and her wonderful hips.

The two ponies breathed heavily in one another's faces, enjoying the smell of each other's breaths, their sweat, and the air around them, that sweet air they shared. They bumped gently together as they frotted, rubbing against each other, and they enjoyed the sounds of their sexes squishing together as they slid back and forth against one another, wetter and wetter they grew.

Maple purred loudly, Summer's juices spilling into her fur, coating her. "I can't believe you're mine." With an excited twitch of her tail, she laughed. "Ah wouldn'ta figured ah'd have a mare at all, if ya asked me before."

Summer pushed her tongue out, offering a teasing lick to Maple's snout, then another, and another. "I'm so happy I've got you." She wriggled her lower body, legs wrapped around Maple. She ground her rump down, pushing herself tighter onto the lovely pony under her, and she hissed with pleasure at the sensation of Maple's curves.

The two mares held on tight, their udders rubbing together, and their bellies smushed tightly to one another. Their hooves braced against the other's, and they rocked gently back and forth against one another as they worked one another to greater heights.

Maple smiled down at the mare she loved with all her heart. "Ah love you too, Summer. Always will." Her face hardened with desire as she suddenly squeezed herself against Summer's nethers. A tremble ran through her as she squeaked, keeping the volume a bit lowered for the sake of the rest of their slumbering family. "Aha, that was..." She blinked her eyes several times, slowly.

Summer groaned. "My turn." She grinned at Maple, showing her teeth, as she shifted her angle, grinding herself into Maple.

Maple gently pushed Summer down as she drew back. "No, gonna give you better." She started sliding down. "Gonna get a real taste of Summer."

Summer gasped. "You don't have to do that," but she relaxed as Maple brushed against her nether lips and kissed gently, but insistently, the tip of her tongue to Summer's pussy. "Oh." She cooed in surprise at the treatment as Maple's tongue danced along her sensitive flesh. "But ah ain't complainin'"

Maple smiled into her as she explored and tasted the inside of Summer. She remembered the first time she had gotten so close and personal with her marefriend's sex. She had been concerned, but practice had worked that away. She extended her thick pony tongue deeper into the trembling confines of Summer, stroking her inner walls, and drawing moans of pleasure.

Summer trembled under the skillful ministrations. "Jus' like that." Her legs twitched. "Harder!"

Maple's reply was muffled, her mouth quite full of her target as she nosed against the delicate petals of Summer's flower. Her ears drooped as she dove further in, burying herself deeply, and she focused on how good the warm, slippery, embrace felt on her face. She had her eyes closed and her hooves held tightly to Summer's rump, spreading it a little wider, giving her more space to work with.

Summer moaned into the room. "Like that." She shook as the orgasm swept over her, Maple's tongue had become a world to itself, a place of warmth, passion, and bliss. She convulsed gently around the intruding appendage. Her muscles tried to contract around Maple's tongue, and she growled with a smile. "You're too good, darlin'."

Maple shivered along, feeling that muscular tunnel tighten and pull at her questing tongue in the most delightful of ways. Her eyes rolled back in her head as Summer's climax set off her own, her fluids splashing up over her snout and Summer's belly. She squealed with delight as it flowed freely out of her. Maple lapped as quickly as she could, cleaning Summer's groin, her belly, and her own snout as if the spill were the finest wine she didn't want to waste a drop of.

Once they both calmed down, they parted, panting happily, and they gazed into one another's eyes.

Summer leaned in, bumping noses. "You're my everything."

"You're mine." Maple pecked her on the nose with a little smooch. "Love ya, sugar."

Summer touched her nose to Maple's. "Don't let Winter hear that though."

Maple rolled her eyes. "Why not? Yer both the world to me. Ah got barely 'nough room fer so much love, but ah'm ready to do it anywho."
