The next morning I opened my eyes and yawned getting up from the bed of my crib. I looked around to see I was obviously alone in my nursery then I caught site of my baby rattle sitting next to me. Picking it up I started shaking it and giggled as I heard its soft ringing sound.
Then I stopped when I heard the door open to my room and look to see Mama come in coming next to my crib and looked down at me with a maternal smile, "Good morning Cloudy how's Mama's little baby today?" she asked sweetly.
"I'm otay, I wanna get out my cwib." I said raising my hooves up.
Mama gladly picked me up out of the crib and carried me over to the rocking chair and sat down with me held to her chest. Knowing what's to happen I latched onto one of her exposed teats starting to suckle out her rich warm milk. Once I was done feeding she lifted me over her shoulder and burped me.
Mama cradled me in her arms smiling down at me, "What do you want to do today baby?" she asked.
"Wanna go out and pway with Pwuto." I reply.
"Okay will go outside for a while and you can play with Pluto." Mama said then putting me on her back she walked out the nursery and down the hall.
As we walked down the hall I saw Joy walking towards us with a smile, "Good morning Mrs. Breeze how are you today?" she greeted.
"Hello Joy I'm fine I was just about to take Cloud outside for a while to play." she replied looking at me.
"Aw and how is the widdle Cloudy today did you have a good nap last night?" Joy cooed.
"As a mattew of fact I did and pwease don't coo at me Joy I don't want anypony cooing at me except my Mama." I retorted.
I decided if I was gonna stay I baby I would act like one most of the time to make things easier on myself and get used to all this. But that doesn't mean I cant demand that I still be treated like a normal pony by others except my Mama. Most likely though I'll still be treated like a baby either way but I could try I don't have to take everyponies crap.
"Aw but your so cut though."
"Alright Joy just leave him alone if he doesn't want to be cooed over then he doesn't have to." Mama retorted.
"Oh alright I have to go now bye, bye Cloud."
"Bye, bye." Okay I think I'm getting use to this baby thing a little to fast.
Joy went down the other hall and we continued are way.
****
As soon as we got outside Pluto was already there sitting on the ground right in front of us. Mama put me down on the ground and Pluto instantly ran towards me and started licking my face making me laugh and giggle.
"Hey Pwuto, stop wicking me!" I yell through my laughter.
Mama watched me with a smile then looks away to see Trotworth walk up to her Star Bright by his side, "Good morning Milady how are you?" Trotworth asked.
"I'm fine today thank you. I'm out here today with Cloud." she said pointing to Cloud now riding on Pluto's back.
Star Bright watched Cloud play then looked back at Breeze who was still looking at the baby with a maternal smile, "Both you and him look happy."
Breeze looked over at him, "Yes do you have a problem with that?"
Star shook his head, "No if Clouds happy then It's okay. On a different subject could I talk to you about an early release?"
"Early release? What are you talking about?" Breeze asked.
"Mr. Bright wishes to leave the mansion grounds and return to his own life." Trotworth replied before Star could speak.
Breeze then frowned, "I already told you Star Bright you can not leave." she retorted.
"Please here me out mama I want to talk about this before coming to a conclusion."
"Fine what is it?"
"I can tell Cloud doesn't want to leave here with me anymore by the way he's having fun and the affection you two show to one another. I'm a idiot but even I can tell that Cloud has come to know you as his mother or whatever going on between you two and sense he doesn't want to come with me there shouldn't be a reason for me to stay here any longer. What I'm getting at Mrs. Breeze I want to leave and you can keep Cloud Mist with you, I promise I wont report to the cops and you two can spend the rest of your lives together."
Breeze stared at Star Bright completely bewildered by his words but then smiled, "Well Mr. Bright that's very nice of you. If what you say is true then you may leave."
"May I say something Milady." Trotworth interrupted.
"You may."
"I don't trust this colts words, for all you know he could be lying and when he leaves he could call the authorities and send you to jail."
"Butt out you old bastard!" Star Bright yelled.
"Even if he doesn't tell the police that we took Cloud Mist and turned him into a foal that does not insure he will not tell them that he himself was being held here." Trot retorted ignoring Star Bright's protest.
"I'm sure Mr. Bright doesn't attend to call the authorities Trotworth I think it would be okay to let him go." Breeze said.
"Well I do not and he has to stay."
"You can not tell me who stay's and goes around here Trotworth I am the Mistress of this mansion!" she yelled.
"No I can not...but that's not the case for Star Bright."
"What are you talking about?"
"Four years ago you gave me complete authority over every employee that works here at the mansion. I made the rules and everypony here would have to follow, I could hire and fire anypony that was out of line and whatever else necessary."
"What does that have to do with me?" Star asked.
"You Milady left Star Bright with me to turn into a proper butler making him one of the staff and under my control."
"Well then I quit."
"It's not that easy Star Bright."
"Why not!?"
"Because you signed a legal binding contract that bind you to us."
"Say what now?" both Breeze and Star Bright said at once.
"Remember that stack of paper I gave you before you started working?"
****
The day after Star Bright was captured for trying to bust Cloud out him and Trotworth where sitting in his office discussing business, "Alright Mr. Bright I need you to sign all of these before we get started." Trotworth said as he dropped a thick stack of papers onto the desk in front of Star.
"What the hell what are these!?" Star yelled.
"Just some paper work you have to do before we start working together."
"I'm not doing all this!"
"Oh but you must or do I have to talk to Milady about getting you a coffin."
Star Bright groaned, "fine you jerk." he said before grabbing a pin from the desk in his magic and started scribbling his name on the blanks on the forms then going to the next and doing the same thing.
"Don't you think you should read those before you sign anything?" Trotworth asked.
"Hell no! I'm not wasting my time with this!"
"But it may have something that could come back to haunt you?"
"Screw that!"
"Alright don't say I didn't warn you."
****
Trotworth pulled a sheet of paper from his suit presenting it for them to see, "This contract binds you to serve the mansion for fifty years no questions asked."
"Fifty years!"
"Correct, you really should have read those things before you signed them."
Star Bright looked at Breeze worriedly, "Breeze please tell me this isn't true!?"
Breeze frowned as she looked at the contract and shook her head, "I'm sorry Star Bright but that contract is legit there's nothing I can do."
"Isn't there something your the boss of him tell him to tear that contract up!"
"It's not that simple it's a fifty year contract, I would have to sign some papers to make it non invalid then it would have to go through a long process that would take at least twenty years before it would become instated."
Star Bright was shock there was no way out of this he was trap.
"This is dirty Trotworth with should be ashamed of yourself." Breeze said getting Star out of his stupor.
"As dirty it is it's affective. But don't worry I may be paying dirty but that doesn't mean I wont be nice."
"What is it now?" Star groaned.
"The only way I would ever let you go is if I trusted you so maybe if you work her and gain my trust I'll get ride of this contract."
Star looked at him then the contract, "What If I burn it here and now and end it."
"I have copies."
Star sighed then gave Trotworth a determined look, "Fine if you want to play that way then I'll play your game then when I'm done you'll let me go?"
"Only if you gain my trust."
Star Bright was about to ask another question till he hears somepony calling him, "Hey Staw Bwight!" he looks over to see Cloud waving him over.
Star Bright looked at Trotworth before walking over to Cloud leaving the others to themselves. Breeze watched as he walked away then looked at Trotworth, "This isn't like you Trotworth why do this to Cloud?" she asked.
Trotworth sighed and looked at his mistress whirly, "I only want to protect you Milady. I don't trust that colt to keep quiet and if he where to tell the police...I would have failed you and Master Cumulous."
Breeze smiled and hugged her butler, "You are so loyal but don't you think this is going to far?"
"In truth I do feel a little guilty...but the boy is a ruffian all the same I looked his file up a day ago and he's a criminal there's not telling what he may do or what may happen if the police get him and start asking question's about his friend! Please let me do this Breeze at least to assure that you will be safe.
Star Bright walked up to Cloud who was siting on the ground with Pluto curled up behind his back, "Hey little buddy how you doing?"
"I'm otay Staw, what where you and Mama talking about?" I asked.
"Uh nothing important you don't have to worry about it, so do you like your new Mama?" Star asked smiling.
I blushed rubbing my hooves together, "Yeah...I wuve my Mama...Staw Bwight I dun want to go home with you no more." I say waiting for his reply.
"I already know."
"Weally?!"
"Yeah I can tell your happy here so you can stay I don't control your life and it doesn't affect me none." He said.
I smiled but then that smile faded into a frown and I bow my head, "I guess your gonna weave soon huh?"
Star Bright looked at my sad expression and felt a ting of guilt and bend down to be eye level with him, "Hey don't be sad little buddy...I'm not leaving yet." he retorted.
I look up at him, "Huh?"
"I'm not going anywhere yet...if you want I'll stay a little longer."
"Weally!? You dun mind?"
"Nah I don't mind."
"And you'll pway with me too?"
"Of coarse where friends aren't we?"
I instantly got up and hugged his muzzle, "Tank you Staw Bwight! I thought when you would weave I would lose a fwiend."
"No way you and me been together to long for a friendship to end. We'll stay friends no matter what." he said then gabbed me under my arms and playfully lifted me high over his head causing me to scream my head off laughing.
"HaHaHa! Staw Bwight this is too high, too high!"
Star Bright chuckles as he cradles me in his arm and then felt the bottom of my diaper, "Dang man your diaper is soaked!"
I blushed, "Uh yeah it was alweady wet when we left the nuwsery but Mama didn't notice and I just wet myself a minute ago."
Star turns around and see's Mama walk up to us, "Cloud needs a diaper change and he needs on now."
"Aw did Cloudy have a accident." Mama cooed taking me from Star and into her arms.
"A widdle."
"Well come on I'll change you then you can play in the nursery." she said then turning around she flew towards the mansion passing Trotworth who walked up to Star Bright.
"So Star Bright about my offer?"
"I'll play your game Trotworth and then when I gain your trust I'm gone." Star said flatly.
Trotworth smirked, "Very well, good luck in that." he said before turning around and heading back to the mansion.
Once he was gone he heard somepony call him from behind and Star turns around to see Joy walk up to him, "Hey Star Bright I saw you playing with Cloud and thought I say hi. What's going on?"
Star sighed, "I want to leave and go home but that flankhole Trotworth wont let me."
"Your still leaving."
"Trying to."
Joy frowned, "Cant you just stay here and make a life here?"
"And work the rest of my life under the flankhole no way." Star protested.
Joy started kicking dirt, "Well what about Cloud shouldn't you stay for him?"
"I told him a stay a while but sooner or later I'm going to leave him."
.....
"Then what about me?"
Star looked at her with a raised brow, "What about you?"
"Wont you stay for me?" Joy asked.
"Why do you want me to stay?" Star asked becoming more curious.
Joy turned away from him and blushed, "Well I think you can do more for the mansion. You could join the band her you know your very good at that violin of yours and I bet you'd be a hit."
Star rubbed the back of his head, "I don't know I don't like Trot as it is I don't want to start playing in his band. Besides that's not good enough reason for me to stay."
"What more reason do you need?"
"I don't know do you?"
Joy then suddenly turned around and planted her lips on Star Bright's kissing him with gusto. The kiss lasted for long time till Joy finally backed away for Star to look at her and the blush clearly on her face.
"I hope that helps." She said then ran away past him and back to the mansion.
Star watched as she ran off then groaned, "Great now I'm actually considering it." he said then walked towards the mansion and probably to his room to think.
****
Later at night in my nursery. Mama sat down in the rocking chair with me cradled in her arms while rocking back and forth.
"It's time for bed Cloud Mist." she said sweetly.
"Otay Mama," I said then yawned, "Mama."
"Yes Cloud?"
"Your going to stay with me fowevew wight?"
Mama smiled and leaned down kissing me on my head, "Of coarse Cloud. Mama will stay with you forever and ever."
I smiled and cuddled into her coat and listened as she started singing a lullaby. As I started drifting to sleep I thought about how my grown up life has changed so much from being sad and depressed about the death of my mother to this more happier infancy life with my new mother. When my eyes closed I hear Mama say one last thing.
"Cloud you are and will always be. My Precious Baby."
