- >You slowly open your eyes
- >The passing wind and smell of the morning dew wakes you up from your slumber
- >With last nights storm you didn't think you'd get any sleep at all

- >you can't believe you've been reduced to this
- >It seems like only yesterday that you had everything you could ever want, the life you always dreamed

- >You feel you arms grow slightly weak and you chest knots up.
- >But you suck it up
- >You place the sign up, and lay in your makeshift cardboard box staring at the ground, thinking
- >You sit there, staring at the newly formed puddles of the storm

- >"Wake up Anon!"
- >You hear that familiar voice you loved so dearly yelp
- >"What's the rush? I don't have to work today..." you say, stretching your limbs and writhing in your bed waking yourself up
- >"Come downstairs, I have a surprise for you!" Your wife yelps eagerly, as she excitedly hops over to the door, as if to lead the way
- >You follow, still a little stiff from waking up so fast.
- >You follow her downstairs into the living room.
- >Your eyes open wide, and you cannot believe what sits before your eyes.
- >"Take a good look sweetie" She she said excitedly

- >Before you lay a cradle, a filly lay in it, asleep sucking of her pacifier
- >"I..I... I don't now what to say!" You sputter as a huge stupid smile comes across your face
- >"The adoption center called this morning and said that we were cleared to adopt, and it's the same girl we wanted as well!"
- >I..I can see that!" you say as your smile becomes stupidly bigger.
- >"She's beautiful isn't she?" your wife says, laying her head on your shoulders.
- >"Incredibly so" You say, embracing her in your arms
- >You're jolted back from your daydreaming
- >Somepony is standing, looking at the sign.
- >She almost seems to ignore your existence
- >You move around in your spot a little bit to get a bit more comfortable, as your legs are falling asleep.
- >She hears you and turns around
- >"Do anything cheap for mares, or do you not roll that way?" She asks
- >"I suppose so. I could play around with you or eat you out if you would like." You say with a slightly mellow tone
- >"Yeah, that sounds nice, how much, 5?" She asks.
- >"Yeah, 5 bits will..." You stop yourself.
- >Your thoughts go back to your wife
- >You can feel the tears coming back, you try to hold them back at all costs, you need the bits.
- >"On second though...no" You sputter, as tears find their way down your cheeks.
- >"What seems to be the matter?"
- >"N-nothing. Just go" You spew at her
- >"Pfft, if you insist" She says, turning around, stomping hard in the puddle to try and splash water on you.
- >Good thing you crawled more into your makeshift house, otherwise you would have gotten soaked.
- >You lay on the ground, defeated by nobody but yourself.
- >You wish you had the strength to do it to help yourself but you can't.
- >The thought of betraying your wife, even if she isn't next to you any more, is enough to make you want to throw up.
- >You manage to calm your breathing, and wipe the tears from your eyes.
- >Your thoughts immediately go back to the life you had before.
- >The life you had.
- >You shuffle around in your bed, you hear the thudding of footsteps, and the weeping of a slightly upset baby.
- >"Honeyy!" You hear your wife call, "Where did you last put little Sapphire's bottle? I can;t find it!"
- >"On the counter, next to the knife rack!" You yell back, in your half-sleep state.
- >You decide you may as well wake up seeing as you most likely won't drift back asleep.
- >A big "Thanks!" pierces your eardrums and forces you to wake up.
- >You had to leave for work in about an hour, might as well get ready early and spend a little time with little Sapphire.
- >You shower and put on your work uniform.
- >The blue jacket you wore always made you fel important, even though you weren't much more than a pharmacists technician.
- >But you liked to feel good about yourself, as anyone does.
- >You walk downstairs with your uniform feeling clean from your shower.
- >Your wife is sitting on the couch, watching after Sapphire.
- >"You're early for work" She says
- >"Well not like i could help it" You say
- >"Hey I'm not the one who leaves bottle in the random spot where they don't belong"
- >"At least I can find then!" You playfully tease back, sitting on the couch with your wife
- >"Why are you up so early anyways?"
- >"Sapphire started crying because she was hungry, didn't you hear her? It was pretty loud"
- >"I'm a heavy sleeper, you know that" You say.
- >"This is true, If it weren't for me you would be late for work half of the time" She laughs.
- >"And that's why I married you!" You say, smooching her on the cheek, as she smooches you back
- >"Well, I might get some breakfast before work, so I'll head out now."
- >"Okay honey, don't work too hard now."
- >"No promises, I'm always a hard worker" You say with a wink.
- >Your wife laughs, "If you insist!"
