Warning:  This story is entirely hugbox.  Viewer discretion is advised.


It starts with a sound.
You don't know what it is, being the first sound you've ever heard.
Then a feeling... wetness, coldness.
You don't like them.
But then something else happens, a warmth envelops and lifts you up.
It feels nice, it feels right.
Then wetness again, but a good kind, its removing the uncomfortable cold from before.
You open your mouth and a sound comes out, a squeak.
You hear other squeaks close by, and now you're surrounded by warmth on all sides.
It's wonderful.
There's more sounds, and now smells too.
A smell of comfort and safety.
That's something you know to be true, it simply is.
You should be here, this is a good place for you.
Reaching out with tiny parts of your body... your legs... there's a bump just ahead, it's moist.
It's important, something you need to get to right away.
With some effort, you pull yourself through warm, wonderful fuzz and to where you're supposed to be.
You clamp your lips around it and start sucking without even thinking.
And the most amazing feeling of all floods into you.
This is milk, you need to drink as much as you can.
There's a sudden loud sound, you don't like it but it goes away soon.
Loud and sharp, followed by a low rumble.
But it barely registers, you're too busy with all these amazing sensations.
The security of being engulfed by fluff.
A comforting, rhythmic bumping coming from deep within the fluff you're nestled in.
The scents that surround you, and the taste of milk.
And that smell... fluff... fluffy... mommy.
This is mommy.
Thinking about her makes your chest warm and feel good.
You can hear chirping of others like you near by.
You're beginning to understand.
You're a fluffy pony.

Continuing to drink quick as you can, there's a feeling to the right.
Another leg?
A fluffy's leg, and they smell a lot like mommy... a brother or sister.
They're feeding too.
The sounds are clearer now, you hear "mummeh wuv babbeh".

You don't know what that means, but its good, it's a good sound.
You are exactly where you're supposed to be, doing what you're supposed to be doing, almost overwhelmed by the feelings in your chest.
Mommy is so important, you feel so strongly about her but don't know how to express it.
Chirping only gets you more chirps back from different directions.
Suddenly, the first warmth is back, you know her legs have lifted you up.
"Babbeh haf shawe wif sissy, aw babbehs get miwk."

She holds you close and the feeling in your chest soars.

It takes a little time, but your chirps become a few of the words she uses.
"Wuv, babbeh, miwk!"

"Siwwy babbeh, yu funneh."

"Babbeh, babbeh, mummeh!"

"Mummeh wuvs siwwy babbeh."

Your words didn't come out properly but hers were just right.
They were perfect.
She's keeping you warm, it's cold outside of her fluff, and wet too, you didn't like the wet feel.
Your legs reach around and manage to hug one of mother's legs.
"Babbeh gif mummeh huggies?  Mummeh gif huggies bak!"

It's that perfect feeling again.
"Wuv mummeh."
You said it right, it came out right and you're so proud of yourself.
You told her how you feel, finally that feeling in your chest makes sense.
It's love, love for your mother.

"Mummeh wuv babbeh, gif miwkies soon an' babbeh get stwong an' big"

Life is becoming clearer still, mother says milk is good for you, she's the one who gives you what you need.
There's a soft click sound.
Suddenly mother rolls on her side, you're safe in her legs but your siblings who were feeding have slid off!

"Babbeh nu wowd, nu tawkies."  She says in a hushed tone while they cry softly.

There's a steady clacking sound, quiet, then loud, then quiet again.
Mommy said something about talking, you wait to hear more but she says nothing else, instead gathering up your brother and sister and hugging all three of you for a minute.
Being hugged together, all warm and safe, you could stay like this forever.

There are new smells, and your hearing is sharper.
Mommy continued to lay on her side, there were some hard cold things really close you didn't like.
It's difficult to feed when she's laying like this, you wish you knew how to ask her to lay on her back again.
There's so many smells in the air, they come from every direction.
The smells are other fluffy ponies, you're sure of it somehow.
Between feeding and getting hugs, you paw at your siblings and they do it back, feeling each other and exploring the ground while still pressed against mother's fluff.

Then, light.
Light and pain, you say owwie reflexively and mother asks what's wrong quietly.
You're not sure though, this is something new!
Every time you try it, it's a little easier and after a few minutes, you can see.

And the world world folds open right in front of you.

Everything is blurry but there's a shape you know is mommy
Her beautiful red fluff and mane, and big, caring eyes looking down at you.
Your siblings are also starting to see for the first time, you have a green brother and a pink sister with flaps on her back!
Those are... wings, you know that makes her... a pegasus!
This new world is amazing to behold, there are many blurry shapes but getting close makes them clear.
Right now you clearly see mother's teat and head right for it.
There's another strange noise, more of those clacks.
You want to see what makes that noise but can't see over mommy, she's much bigger than you.

"Had your litter yet, huh?"

A sudden clanging sound startles you along with the new voice, oddly deeper but still kinda like mommy's
It's really loud too.
You want to see the fluffy that talks like that!

"Nu babbehs, stiwl in tummeh."  Mother replied to the voice, and she mentioned you, you're a baby fluffy pony.

"uh huh... well, any minute now right?  Tell me when it starts to hurt and I'll come help you."

"Okies"

The clacking again, it fades off into the distance.
Oh!
While you were trying to see the other fluffy, your sister took the teat you were sucking on, that's not fair!
You move back and push against her but she pushes too, your brother drinking from the higher teat looks down and suckles contently.

"Babbeh nu pwshies, mummeh haf miwk fo' aw babbehs.

It's not fair though, she stole your teat.
You lean against mother and feel your face getting warm... no, wet.
Warm and wet.
That was so mean of her, you only looked away for a moment and she stole your milk.
You cry for the first time, mother gently hushing you as she hugs.
It quiets you down quickly, hugs feel too good to keep crying for long.

As the day passes, mother doesn't move from that spot.
Behind you are hard cold things that don't taste nice.
The soft thing mommy lays on smells like her so you like it.
You've had several turns feeding and learned a few more words.
Like "huwt" when your brother fell asleep and rolled off mommy and onto your head.
You said "Mummeh hewp, huwties!"
Saying or mommy is too hard, but "mummeh" sounds right to you and she likes it, you're happy she likes it.
You want her to be happy all the time.

*Clack* *Clack* *Clack* *Clack*
Mommy quickly gathers the three of you up and holds you gently into her fluff again.
Maybe it's a game?
Games are fun, right?
You'd like to try one.
The word "play" comes to mind, you said it out loud a few times but mother hushes you and puts her hoof lightly against your mouth.

"Well?  Aren't you going to show them to me?"
It's the deeper sounding fluffy again!

"Nu haf babbehs, stiwl in tummeh."

"I heard you talking to yourself.  I also heard you answering in a really high pitched voice.  Oh, and the gallon of fluid around your ass kinda tipped me off. I knew you gave birth last time I was here, I just wanted to see if you'd tell me the truth for once."

"Pwease, babbehs stiwl in tummeh."

"Stella, you don't want to do things the hard way, do you?"

Everything changes all of a sudden.
Mother is shaking, and she's crying too!
What could make mommy cry?
Your siblings cling to her fluff tightly, as do you.
Anything that could scare mommy, scares you.

"Pwease nu take babbehs, dey need miwk, need wuv an' huggies.  Pwease nu take."

"I just want to see what you've had, that's all.  So go ahead,  roll over.  Now."

The whole world seems to shift as mother clutches all of you and rolls onto her back again.

It's huge!

The deeper sounding, loud fluffy is absolutely huge!
It looks nothing like mommy or your siblings.
And so many different colors of fluff!
You don't now their names but there's more colors than you have hooves.
Some of it is real long too, much longer than mommy's.
Its face is very close to the cold hard things, you think it... no, she.
She looks strange for a fluffy.
Then her eyes meet yours, peeking out from inside in mommy's fluff and held in place with her hooves.

"Pway?"

That's what fluffies do right?
It was the first word that popped into your head, and seemed like the right thing to say.
You want to play with your new really big friend, even raising your tiny forelegs up for a hug.
Mommy pushes them back down though, so quick it even hurts a bit!
Owwie!
Why would she do that?

"Seems like you've got a nice, friendly litter, I think they'll do just fine."

You think she's smiling at you, you smile right back despite mommy acting so funny.

"Babbehs need mummeh, wuv babbeh, pwease nu take 'way..."

"Really jumpy today aren't you Stella?  No one's taking your babies away, just be SURE to take good care of them.

"... Nu take?  Babbehs stay wif mummeh?  Nu wie to fwuffy?

"Would a face like this lie?  No, it's your job to feed and raise these babies.  Do a good job, understand?
And I mean it, remember your friend Sunflower?  Remember what happened to her when she hurt her babies?

"Nuuuuuu, swnfwowa bad fwuffy, Stewwa gud fwuffy, nu huwt babbehs.  Wub babbehs mo' den huggies o' nummies!  Stewwa NEVA huwt babbehs, wuv babbehs!

"Ok, ok, I get it.  Just remember, I'll be watching you real close.  I dunno why she wants to try this little experiment, but who gives a shit so long as it pays the bills, right?

"Wuv babbbehs, Stewwa happeh!  Tank yu, take bestest cawe of babbehs!

The huge fluffy is walking away, but you never got a hug!

*clack* *clack* *clack* *clack* *clack* *thunk*

Aw, you wanted to play with the new, big fluffy.
But mommy seems so happy now, she smiles so widely and gives the three of you the biggest hug ever.

"Mummeh haf babbehs, nu takies wike befo'.  Mummeh keep babbehs, nu saddies!" Wuv babbehs sooooo much!"

You've never seen mommy so loud and happy, before she was quiet even when talking.
This other kind of mommy is even better, shes all smiley and plays and giggles and doesn't just lay on one side between you and the front of the cage.

And so you play, and suckle, and give lots of hugs to mommy and your siblings.
All the while your hearing and eyesight improve, you can see the other fluffies you smelled before.
Everyfluffy is talking too, a lot of the words are new and hard to make out but you want to hear more.
They're all surrounded by cold hard things like you and your family.
Right now they're just different colored blobs to you, but maybe you'll get to play with them as well?
That'd be the best, you want to play and give hugs to every fluffy there.
There's so much to do, and see, and taste and smell!
But for now, your eyelids are getting heavier and everything's slowing down.
You finish feeding and crawl away from mommy teat, turning around.
Part of you knows it's time to sleep but when you wake, it's mommy you want to see first thing.
In moments you've drifted off, aided by a hoof lightly stroking your back.

It's been an eventful eight hours of life.
