Spike Has Three Mommies

Chapter Twenty-Three

Dear Princess Celestia,

I always thought that growing up meant giving up childish things, but now I see that a grown-up doesn’t have forget everything they liked as a child. There’s so much wonder and magic in the world that it takes being both an adult and a kid to enjoy it all, and I’m glad I’ve got friends who’ll help me remember that.

Yours truly,
Spike

Fluttershy drew her wings in close as she landed on the boutique floor. She let the Cake twins out of her arms, laughing as they raced through the living room. Then she drifted upstairs to Rarity’s workshop.

She hoped she wasn’t late. It was going to be one of the nursery days.

As she passed by the workshop, Fluttershy greeted the birds, squirrels, and rabbits inside. They all took a moment to stop and wave back before continuing with their clothing assignments. Then she glided into one of the guest rooms, where everyone else was waiting.

It was a lovely sight. Rarity sat in a rocking chair with Spike sitting in her lap. He wore only a t-shirt and a diaper, dreamily gazing at Rarity like usual. While Rarity made a show of fussing over his attire, Fluttershy could tell that she was genuinely happy to have him there and her hand never left the back of his diaper, patting it fondly like a real mother would.

“Glad you could make it, Fluttershy,” Twilight said from the far corner of the room. “Need any help with the twins?”

“No, thank you! They’ll soon be down for a nap.” Fluttershy turned toward her other friend. “To be honest, I could use one, too.”

“You’re just in time.” Twilight pulled aside the blanket, revealing her similar attire of a t-shirt and a diaper. She was lying on the bed, snuggled up against Cadence, recently returned from a six-week stint at the Crystal Empire. Cadance offered Fluttershy a smile as she approached and picked up an old book.

Fluttershy was really beginning to enjoy these nursery days. And she liked it even more when Cadance or Shining Armor could find time to teleport in for a visit. With a happy sigh, she rested her head against Twilight’s shoulder and waited for Cadance to continue reading her story.
