One year later...


"Okay, that's the last of them!"  Vincent said as he placed a box of Harshwhinny's belongings on the floor of our living room.

"Oh, thank you so much for helping move my things in, dear."  Harshwninny said.

A full year had passed since I brought my son to Equestria and everything was truly going wonderfully.  Harshwhinny and I have now been dating for the entire time and she and I had decided to take our relationship to the next level.  It took some time but Vincent, Harshwhinny and myself are that much closer to finally being a true family.  There's just one last thing I need to take care of.

"Hey, son."  I said.  "How are things going with Fluttershy?"

"Oh, it's going great!"  Vincent replied.  "She's such a sweetheart and I really like her a lot.  Which reminds me...she and I actually have a date later.  I've been sweating a bit so I'm gonna go freshen up and get ready.  I'm planning on taking her to that ritzy place downtown so I wanna look good.  If anypony needs me, I'll be in the shower."

"Alright son, if I don't see ya when you get out, have a great time!"

So here we all were.  Myself, my beautiful marefriend and my son all living together and for the first time since I was a young boy, I was actually part of a happy family.  Now that Harshwhinny and I had a moment alone together, I could ask her a very important question.  I was more nervous than I ever was before.  It'd been a while since I'd done anything like this.

"I'm so glad to be moving in with you two."  Harshwhinny said before kissing me on the cheek.

"Same here, sweetheart."  I replied.  "So, um...can we talk?"

"You silly guy.  You don't even need to ask.  What's on your mind, dear?"

"Well...Okay, here goes...The past year you, Vincent, and I have been spending so much time together...I truly can't think of any other time when I've ever been happier.  I have something I'd like to ask you and I got you a little something to go along with it."

"I couldn't agree more, Darling.  I, um...I also have something I need to show you too though.  It's...kind of a big deal."

"Oh, okay.  Uh, how about this.  Let's you and I show each other at the same time?"

"Ready, Vincenzo?"

"Ready, Harshwhinny."

At the same time, Harshwhinny reached into the pocket of her blouse and I into the pocket on my neck tie.  I presented my marefriend with a small, black box and opened it up revealing a diamond engagement ring.  As surprised and ecstatic as she looked to see the gift that I got for her, the object she was holding in front of me topped that tenfold.  Clutched in Harshwhinny's hoof was a small, white, plastic stick that looked somewhat like a pen.  I then took a closer look.  The object in question had a small screen on it, kinda like one you'd see on a calculator.  This little screen had a thin blue line in the middle and the word "positive" in blue text.  Honestly, I couldn't think of any way this day could get better.
