  1. >"Mum... Dad... I have something to tell you..."
  2. >Glimmer looks nervous, beads of sweat glisten on her neck, and her ponytail pulled back rather scraggily.
  3. >Twilight sets down Encyclopedia Equinnica (Volume LXXIV), marking her place with a hand gathered, spun, and woven woollen bookmark.
  4. >You bought it as an anniversary present, just after Glim's third birthday.
  5. >You already have next month's sorted - a dreamcatcher.
  6. >It's nothing grand, but you'd managed to get a primary from Philomena, Peewee, and Owlowiscious.
  7. >The heavy, oak-bound book creaks as she closes it.
  8. >You fold the corner of your page down, and drop the book of the side of the chair.
  9. >Twilight winces as the book bounces on the floorboards.
  10. "What's up, sweetie?"
  11. >Glim rocks on her hooves for a few seconds, hands clutching at her skirts, fisting large amounts of the fabric, and drawing it up her chest.
  12. >"You... You love me, right?"
  13. "Of course."
  14. >You pat your lap, and open your arms.
  15. >Just like when she was younger, she springs onto your lap, wraps her arms around you, and buries her face in your chest.
  16. >Unlike those snuggles of old, she starts sobbing into your shirt.
  17. >You lift your head and look at Twilight.
  18. >She looks as baffled as you.
  19. "Sweetie, what's going on?"
  20. >Her crying redoubles, and she starts blubbing.
  21. >You hug her, but flick your head.
  22. >Twilight's a great mother, but she's not going to be any help here.
  23. >She lifts an eyebrow, but you just nod, and hug your daughter tighter.
  24. >Eventually, she calms down, but you continue stroking her hair.
  25. >She sniffles.
  26. "C'mon sweetie, you've got it out now. What's up?"
  27. >She nuzzles your chest, and mumbles a 'nuh-uh'.
  28. >You don't say anything.
  29. >It won't take long for whate-
  30. >She draws a breath
  31. >"I think I'm gay."
  32. >What?
  33. >"But I didn't know if you'd still love me!"
  34. >What.
  35.  
  36. "Sweetie... I married a horse. I honestly don't think I can judge you."
  37. >She blearily smiles at you, mascara smeared from tears.
  38. "No matter what you're into, it's none of my dam business."
  39. >You both snigger.
  40. >It never gets old.
