I sat on the sofa, regretting everything I hadn’t done to keep her with me. I saw the note she gave me on the floor, and picked it up. As I unfolded it, I was surprised at what I saw. It was a drawing of pinkie hugging me, not the purple stallion one. It was actually me. Above the drawing was written:

‘You’ll always be my daddy’. I just stared at it. I was so confused. Why had she drawn the stallion all that time ago if she acknowledged me as a human? I looked to the coffee table and saw my £30 whiskey, half empty.

“Might as well finish the job” As I reached for the bottle, the doorbell rang.

“Who the bloody hell is it n-”

I opened the door and was surprised to see no-one there. There was a cardboard box on the welcome mat. I picked it up. It was heavy, very heavy. I set it down on the coffee table. A label was taped text down on top of the box. I flipped it over, it read: ‘Thank you for everything, we are eternally grateful -Celestia’. I flipped open the box, inside was a little colt. Curled up and sleeping, he breathed softly, He was purple with black hair. He was just like the one in pinkie’s drawings. I lifted him out, and held him in my arms like I did when I first found Pinkie. He squirmed around, shaking but slowly adjusted to the cold and rubbed up against my chest, feeling the heat radiating from me.

“Now then, what shall I call you?”
