Just A Few More...

>Be Anon
>Or Prince Anonymous, First of your Name, Lord of "human lands"
>You didn't know why the Canterlot pone nobles called you that
>You liked Anon just fine, and it wasn't like you had any land in "the human lands"
>Hell, back home you didn't even own a fucking house
>You barely owned your car dammit
>But, up here in the horse capital the horse nobles cared about this sort of thing
>You couldn't marry Celly without having a title of some kind without there being a huge fuss
>So, in the span of a single afternoon, you were knighted, given fake lands, and risen to the title of duke
>It was all very professional and solumn
>Fleur de Lis was nice enough to knight you in Donut Joe's shop
>Your stallion buddies were really happy about you
>They said something about you being the first stallion that had been knighted in two hundred years
>Joe was even nice enough to give you a donut on the house
>Celestia have probably been the happiest though
>She had been so happy that she had pulled out a ring and gotten down on her horse knee right there
>The big turd
>YOU were gonna be the one to do that whole proposal thing first
>Still though, the results were the same
>The two of you got married, you both partied until you dropped after the ceremony, and woke up the morning after hungover, exhausted, and ready to spend the rest of forever together
>Forever was gonna be a long time, but it had been pretty great as of now
>The castle was nice, you had someone to snuggle with every night
>Whenever you felt like it you could demand that the guards carry you around on their backs
>You never did of course, but what mattered was that you COULD
>...Probably
>At that moment, you were lying on the ground in the middle of the royal guards
>You were in your royal pajamas, wearing your royal sunglasses
>Your royal metal cup was sitting next to you filled with royal orange juice
>Your eyes were closed, and in your wife's sun you were trying to get a bit of shut eye
>Not too much

>You just wanted a nap
>Thirty minutes, maybe an hour tops and you'd be as right as rain...
>"Daddy? Daddy?"
>A tiny hoof tapped your side twice
"Hmm?" you said, not opening your eyes
>There was a pause before you felt someone crawling on top of you
>It wasn't a big someone
>Not your wife at least
>Thank goodness
>No, this someone was much smaller
>A bit bigger than filly size if you had to guess
>"Daddy, are you dead?" the someone asked, rubbing their muzzle against the tip of your noise
>You cracked open an eye
>Two big, purple eyes were there to greet you, staring down at your tired self with concern
"No honey, I'm not dead," you said, yawning. "Daddy's just trying to take a nap."
>The purple eyes drew back, allowing you to see the cutest little face in the world
>She looked so much like her mother that it was scary, though with pink hair instead of the rainbow, wavy stuff
>She was big for her age, and already smarter than you
>She was so smart, in fact, that she got an A+ on her math test
>And it was a doozy too
>Addition with triple digit numbers
>It was your little girl Dawn
>"How come?" she asked, cocking her head to the side as she laid down on top of you
"Because your little sister was up all night being grumpy, sweetie," you said, placing a hand on her back
>"Why was she being grumpy?" Dawn asked, making a happy little sound as you gave her back a scratch
"Because the weather ponies brought those rainclouds too close to the castle last night, and Radiance got a little scared,"you told her, letting your eyes slip closed.
>Though you didn't see it, your little girl puffed up
>"I wasn't scared though, daddy. I wasn't scared at all," she said proudly
"I'm sure you weren't, pumpkin," you said, letting your hand make it's way up her toward her head. "But your little sister was, and me and mommy had to spend the whole night making her less grumpy."
>It wasn't that bad
>You had spend sleepless nights watching your kids before

>Hell, when Dawn was still in diapers you had had to deal with her screaming so loud one time that she broke every window in the castle
>The shit was nuts
>Your eardrums had popped like plastic bags
>Dawn's diaper had exploded off her body, sending baby horse shit flying in all directions
>It was a night...
>Your daughter leaned down and nuzzled your chin
>"If you're tired does that not mean that you don't wanna play with me then, daddy?" she asked
>You gave her ear a scratch
"No, no, sweetie. Just give daddy a few minutes and he'll play with you
>Dawn made a sound of content as you played with both of her ears
>She rested her head onto your shoulder
>Her wings, which would have been large on most kids twice her age, settled on either side of you
>"Okay daddy, I'll wait," your little girl said
>You leaned up and gave her forehead a kiss
"Thank you honey."
>With that, wonderful quiet descended upon the royal garden for a few minutes
>In that time your wonderful little girl got bored though, and decided to break it
>"Momma said that she wanted to have another baby."
>...
>Both of your eyes snapped open
>Picking your head up, you looked at your little Dawn
"She said what now?" you asked
>"When I was helping momma and aunt Luna changing Radiance's diapers she said that she wanted another baby," Dawn said with a nod. "Momma said she wanted to have two colts."
>You blinked
"I thought she just wanted a baby," you said
>"Momma wanted to try to have twins," Dawn replied
>Out of the corner of your eye, you could see a flash of white
>Looking over, you saw your wife
>She had your other little girl resting on her back, thankfully snoozing
>She was staring at you meaningfully, pointing at her belly
>You licked your suddenly dry lips
>Wew...

>Be Lady High Horse, Duchess of Colterberry
>Today you were in the mighty city of Canterlot
>Usually such a thing would be a cause for celebration
>You'd socialize with the ponies that needed to be socialized, go to the right parties
>Maybe you'd feel particularly frisky and find some dim peasant colt to rut
>Unfortunately, however, your plans for a nice, quiet few days had been dashed
>Princess Celestia, for the last THREE days, had moved back your scheduled appointment
>You, a duchess, had been asked to come back day after day only for the Day Court to end!
> You liked to think yourself a very patient mare, but that patience was beginning to wear very thin
>So you had decided to get up bright and early on the fourth day to have your plea heard
>While most of Canterlot had been asleep you had marched up to the castle
>Even then you weren't the first in line to meet the princess, but that was fine
>Today you'd get what business you needed done then you could relax before having to go home to your whale of a husband
>Or so you thought
>"Byebye! Have a good day Mrs. Highlight!"
>Princess Celestia, for some unfathomable reason, had decided to bring her children to the Day Court
>You actually didn't have a problem with this on paper
>All of the royal family members should learn what it means to wear the crown at a very early age
>But they should be out of sight and mind, listening QUIETLY
>Instead of that, however, Princess Celestia had her daughter's right in center stage
>Princess Dawn wa sitting next to her mother, while Princess Radiance was tucked into Princess Celestia's wing
>The youngest of the royal family was, thankfully, sleeping
>Princess Dawn however, had decided to be vocal for the ENTIRE length of the court
>"Next pony please!" the young princess chirped, waving some earth pony farmer forward
>The farmer, a small smile on his face make is way toward the throne and bowed
>"Good morning, mister!" Princess Dawn said
>The stallion chuckled

>"Good morning to you too, your highness," he said, bowing just a hair lower
>Half of the court chuckled as the young princess bowed her head as well
>As they had done EVERY SINGLE TIME she had done so
>Which was EVERY SINGLE TIME another pony stepped forward
>You found yourself gritting your teeth
>Usually the Day Court was an efficiently run machine, but today it was nothing more than a madhouse
>And what did Princess Celestia do?
>Did she bring order to her court, silence her little brat so that it didn't take thirty minutes for a single pony to get heard?
>No
>She just sat there, a smile on her face
>It wasn't her normal smile either
>It was smug
>You, along with half of Equus knew that she had twins on the way
>A colt and filly, if what ponies were saying were true
>It was barely noticeable, but you could see a slight bump in the alicorn's stomach
>More alicorn half-breeds...
>You bared your teeth at the thought
>But you weren't angry
>No; you were happy!
>Happy!
>For hundreds of years you and every royal house in Equestria had been trying to woo Celestia and create a dynasty with absolutely no luck
>No amount of magic, no careful breeding would make mortal seed take in an alicorn's womb
>But some alien comes and does it first try!
>You were HAPPY for the Princess, as was everypony else
>Happy that she was sitting there with that smile of hers, lording her children over you
>"Thank you very, much, your highness."
>"Aha. Thank you too, Mr. Hoe. I hope your tools get better now!"
>You jumped in surprise as the farmer brushed past you
>Looking around the courtroom, you saw that nopony else was in front of you
>...
>You were next!
>Brushing down your vest and adjusting your hat, you puffed your chest out
>Alright!
>Now you could finally get some bucking work done!
>Princess Dawn's deep purple eyes settled on you
>She smile, and you had to resist the urge to shudder when you saw her long, unnatural fangs
>Sweet maker...
>"Next pony pleas--"

>Princess Celestia perked up
>Frowning, she leaned toward Princess Radiance and sniffed the air
>"Oh. It looks like somepony went poppy," she said out loud
>You deflated
>Your smile turned into a look of horror
>Whatthebuckdidshejustsay?!
>You looked around, hoping to see some level of outrage from the rest of the court
>To your surprise, there was absolutely none
>Ponies were just standing there, smiles on their faces as Princess Celestia levitated her daughter out from under her wing
>"Ewww!" Princess Radiance said, covering her nose. "She stinks!"
>"You used to stink just as bad when you were little," Princess Celestia said, setting Princess Radiance in her lap
>With a spell, she summoned a diaper, baby powder, and baby wipes as she tied her mane back
>"High Horse, please come forward," she said, tugging at her daughter's diaper. "I can do to things at once. Just mind the smell. My husband wanted little Radiance here to try a new baby food and it's not agreeing with her very well."
>...
>This court is a bucking madhouse...

>"Come on. Who's my big girl? Who's my big girl? Come on, open your mouth. There you go!"
>Be Princess Luna
>Princess of the Night, Lady of Dreams
>It was very early, which meant that it was very, very late for you
>Your sister's sun had just risen in the sky and you, exhausted from your nightly duties, had found yourself in the royal dining room
>Usually, you'd only spend a spare few moments here
>At most you'd say goodnight to your sister and get something to nibble on before returning to your room for a bath and your bed
>But today you were indulging in one of your new hobbies
>Sitting at the royal dining table, feeling exhausted, you watched as the rest of your family ate
>Now, most ponies would think that this was no hobby
>For most, it wouldn't be, no matter where or who you are eating is simply eating
>But that was not the case with your sister, her husband, and her daughters
>"Momma, can I have another dippy egg?"
>"Oh course you can, honey. And here, have some more toast."
>Laid out on the table were plated stacked high with food
>Pancakes, waffles, toast, fruit; anything and everything that one ate at breakfast
>To normal ponies this would have been more than enough for a group of thirty, but for those four they'd no doubt be asking for more
>"Honey, don't mean against the table like that, it's rude."
>"Yes daddy."
>Anonymous had already eaten enough for five ponies
>Dawn was on her third plate of food eyeing the bacon that the cooks had just brought in
>Anonymous had already fed Radiance three vials of baby food and was currently feeding her a big bowl of cereal that had soaked in milk for a few minutes
>Your sister, who had already been a big eater, had only grown more insatiable with her pregnancy
>She had easily eaten more than her husband and didn't seem to be slowing down
>Pancakes, eggs, even pork bacon and sausage weren't safe from her
>You knew from experience that nothing would be left by the time Celestia took Dawn to school

>Not a crumb, not a piece of toast, nothing
>It was terribly fascinating to watch
>Almost as if you were watching a pack of wild beasts picking a carcass clean
>"Honey, would you be a dear and pass me another stack of pancakes please?"
>"Of course, hon."
>Little Radiance let out a giggle
>Babbling her baby talk, her bright purple eyes wandered toward a plate full of bacon
>The baby's eyes widened
>You could see drool making it's way down her lip
>The tip of her horn glowed, levitating a piece of bacon into the air toward her
>And, before anypony could stop her, the youngest of the royal family popped the bacon into her mouth with a happy babble, nomming on it with a look of content
>Oh dear...
>Another one's gotten the taste of meat...

"Please go to bed. Please? Pretty please?"
>You had no idea what time it was
>For people like you, time was absolutely meaningless
>You were above such things
>You had ascended to worse and terrible things
>What you did know was that you were tired
>Very tired
>The kind of absolute, terrible exhaustion that only a parent and engineering student could experience
>But did you know who DIDN'T feel exhausted
>Babies
>Nope
>A fucking baby could stay up forever and feel perfectly FINE, as your little girl Radiance had been more than happy to demonstrate
>The little turd was sitting in your lap being fussy
>She was holding one of your hands between her hooves and had taken it upon herself to stick your whole hand into her mouth
>You had no idea why she needed to do this
>Perhaps she knew something about your hand that you didn't
>Maybe it gives alicorns superpowers or something
>Usually, you wouldn't allow such a thing to happen
>But you honestly didn't have the energy
"Come on, honey. Go to sleep for daddy," you begged. "Just for a little bit. A few hours. Please."
>For the last two days you had been up because Radiance, who you and Celly were trying to get into a more solid diet, was a bit backed up
>The doctor said that it was perfectly normal
>It happened to most kids her age
>All you needed to do was keep giving her fluids and she'd have a big ol' poop and everything would be great
>But it wasn't great
>There wasn't any rainbows or happiness on this side of the train track, jack
>No matter what you did, what you gave her, what deals you made to dark, horrible gods, your little girl wouldn't fucking poop
>And, since your fucking wife didn't want you giving your little girl an enimina, you couldn't shove anything up her butt to uncork all of this shit
>So she was fussy
>And she didn't sleep
>And you were tired
>And you wanted to go to bed
>Radiance let out an unhappy babble, pawing at your chest
>Your eyes, which you hadn't even realized were closed, snapped open

"Wha--?"
>You looked around your bedroom with half-lidded, bloodshot eyes
>Your daughter made more upset baby noises
"It's fine, it's fine," you said, rocking her on your knee. "Daddy's here. Daddy's here and he wants to throw you out a window, you little turd."
>Radiance babbled some more, ruffling her wings before settling herself in your arms
>You leaned down to give her head a kiss, holding back a sob
"Please go to bed? At least poop. You're so tiny; your body will explode if you hold in that much shit."
>Out of the corner of your eye, you could see your sleeping wife
>She had, time and again, offered to watch your youngest for a bit, but every time you had refused
>She already had enough shit to worry about
>Your wife was a fucking princess AND teacher
>She also needed to rest for the twins
>But that didn't mean you weren't as salty as fuck that she was sleeping though
>Because you were
>You wanted to sleep so fucking bad...
>Your daughter squirmed in your lap
>You kind of ignored her, too focused on how shitty you felt
>It was only when you heard her grunt did you look down
>There was a look of extreme concentration on Radiance's face
>Her wings were tucked tightly against her sides, and she was pressing her knees together
>...
>Was...?
>Was she...?
>A feeling which hadn't lingered in your being for what felt like an eternity welled up inside of you
>Hope
"Yeah, come on, honey, you can do it!" you said. "Poop! Poop your brains out!"
>A sob escaped you as you smelled that familiar smell
>Oh lord...
>Oh Jesus...
>Your daughter pooped
>She fucking pooped!
>Tears in your eyes, you let out a little laugh as you kissed the top of her head
>This was the greatest fucking day of your life!


~_~_~_~_~_~_~


>Be Anon
>It was very, very early
>The sun still stayed below the mountaintop
>You were in your warm, comfortable bed
>Your beautiful, wonderful wife was lying next to you, her chin resting on top of your head and a wing laid over you
>Your eyes were closed
>You were warm and comfortable
>For most people, this would have been a good thing
>But you weren't most people
>There was to be no joy in your existance
>Last night you and Celestia had gotten home late after taking Dawn and Radiance to horse Chuckie Cheese
>Both of the girls had been bouncing off the walls when you got home, so they had gotten to bed EXTRA late
>Which was fine for them
>Radiance was a baby, and Dawn didn't have to go to school for the next two days
>But you and Celestia had to get up to go to some thing
>And you didn't want to go to that fucking thing
>You wanted to lie here and go to sleep, because you were a hardworking parent and you deserved some fucking shuteye
>Which is why you laid there, holding onto Celestia, mad as all hell, with your eyes closed
>Your wife was going to have to get up soon to raise the sun
>About five or six minutes in fact
>And how would you know this?
>Because you had been fucking getting up at this fucking time for so fucking long that you didn't even need a fucking alarm clock
>Fucking, fucking, fuck
>And you knew as soon as that alarm rang your spirit would drift off into the sky, and your body would spontaneously combust
>You let out a sigh, snuggling into your wife's tuft
"Hon? Are you awake?" you asked, sounding absolutely exhausted
>Celestia nuzzled the top of your head
>"Yes dear," she answered, sounding just as tired
>You tried to crack open an eye but couldn't quite manage it
"We gotta get up soon."
>"I suppose we do. I need to raise the sun and we need to be at the fundraiser."
>You felt something in your snap
>Nothing too important, or big, but you felt it
>Nose scrunching up, you let your mind chug along with the thinky-thoughts

"Hon, you know there's only two things in their whole world that I love more than you right?" you mumbled
>One of Celestia's hooves made its way down your side
>Her belly, which seemed to be growing later by the day, pressed against your back
>"Four, dear," she replied
>You nodded slowly, grabbing her hoof and hugging it between your arms
"I think I'm gonna put my foot down today," you said slowly, carefully selecting each word. "We've been working so hard and we deserve a bit of a break."
>For several seconds, the only thing you could hear were the sounds of Celestia's gentle breathing as she considered your words
>"As much as I would enjoy a day off we need to go to that orphanage, dear."
>Your nose scrunched up
"Us not being there for a day isn't gonna cause it to fucking explode," you grumble. "They'll be plenty of orphans for us when we finally do get around to going."
>Again your wife paused
>You could sense that she was collecting her thoughts
>Oh no...
>That wouldn't do...
>She wasn't bringing any logic to this...
"Hon, I swear to god if I hear that alarm ring I'm going to light this whole city on fire," you threatened, trying to sound as nefarious as possible and ending up just sounding exhausted
>Celestia let out a sigh
>You heard her horn glow
>Cracking open an eye, you saw her unplug your alarm, pick it up into the air, and toss it into the trash
>A moment later, you could see the sun beginning to rise
>Yawning, Celestia gave your head a nuzzle
>"I'm sure they'll forgive us if we reschedule," she whispered
>Smiling, you closed your eye as you brought her hoof to your lips and kissed it
"Thanks hon."
>With that, the two of you laid still, both of you finally ready to--
>"WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
>From the far end of the room you could hear screaming

>Your little Radiance, if you weren't mistaken
>"Daddy? Mommy?" come one that sounded a lot like your other bucket of sunshine Dawn. "I don't feel good..."
>Cracking open an eye, you saw your little girl staring at you front across the room
>Her pure white coat had a tint of green to it and, if you weren't mistaken, it looked like she had vomit all over her chest
>Radiance, not one to be forgotten about, grew just loud enough to shake the windows in your room
>...
>Huh...
>That's weird...
>It's raining in your bedroom...


~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~


>Be Anon
>You were lying in your bed with your wonderful wife
>Your little Dawn was over at some sleepover with your friends from school
>Radiance was out like a light in her crib
>Both you and Celestia were lying on your sides
>Your back was pressed against your wife's swollen belly, your head under her chin
>All four of her hooves were wrapped around you loosely
>You could feel her tail near your feet
>One of her big white wings were draped over your body
>It was one of your favorite positions
>Usually, it'd put you right to sleep, no matter what time or day it was or how well rested you were
>From Celestia's gentle breaths, you knew that she was already taking advantage of this lull in the chaos
>But there was a problem...
>You had to pee
>Pretty badly in fact
>For the last ten minutes you hadn't wanted to get up, mostly because you were too comfortable, but now it was starting to become an issue
>So you needed to get up...
>But you wanted to get up without waking the love of your life...
>You frowned
>Carefully, you untangled yourself from the mass of limbs holding you against your wife
>It took some work, but you eventually managed to roll out of bed
>A sigh of relief escaped you as you looked toward your bathroom
>Thank god...
>Any longer and you might--
>Out of the corners of your eyes,you saw white
>That was the only warning you got before something grabbed your shoulders and pulled you bodily into your bed
>...
>Dammit
>Your wife let out a hum as you were forced back against her
>"And where do you think you're going, my sunshine?" she whispered, nuzzling the top of your head even as her hooves rewrapped around you
>You squirmed
"Bathroom, hon.Gotta pee," you said, trying to sit up
>You had managed to rise an inch or so before being forced back against the bed
"Hoooooooon," you whined, doing a prone pee dance
>Celestia kissed the top of your head
>"Anon, my love, my heart, it seems like we're at an impasse."
"...Really?"

"Hon, I need to pee."
>She mumbles something indistinct in her sleep.
"Hon?"
>One eye cracks open, revealing a crescent of magenta.
>Her horn flashes gold briefly, and suddenly the pressure in your bladder vanishes.
>Huh.
>She smirks, and her eye closes.
>Your eyes copy her own a moment later.
>Before you succumb to sleep, a fleeting thought of where your golden glory vanished to crosses your mind.
>Meh, probably in a bush somewhere.

>You are Princess Cadence, on your way back to Canterlot Castle.
>...Something is amiss.
>You pause, looking around and then finally up.
>You see a glimpse of something orange, and then something wet smashes into your face.
