This story is a sequel to Behind The Wall

There's a monster that comes into Shining Armor's house sometimes.

He just wants it to go away and leave his Mommy and Daddy and Him alone.

Someday he'll be big enough to make it leave.

Yelling, Screaming, crying, shattered vases, and broken dreams. It’s all she knows now. But she will never let her son see her break. He’s the only thing that gives her hope anymore. And she will never stop looking for a way to escape.

A rather morbid tale that subsequently deals with the interpretation on why Shining Armor’s cutie Mark is about protection.

He packed his bags and left her with two kids.

How was she going to tell them where their daddy had gone?

Maybe writing out her feelings will help.

Partly inspired by the song "Waterproof Mascara" By Sheryl Crow.

A Mother, a Father, a brother, a sister-in-law, and a niece. They are Twilight's family.

But there's one special member of her family that is about to be recognized.

From the comments section:

"Speaking as someone who was adopted as a baby...and who's mother shared something very much like this with him many years ago during one of our talks...

Thank you, and damn you for making my 'allergies' act up." -Rescue Sunstreak

"This was one of the sweetest stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading!" -Real_Harmony Sparkle

"Beautiful I adore this story so very very much :D" -twidash1993

A perfect mother. A shining example of how to raise your kids right. An unfailing beacon of hope.

These are some of the words Twilight Velvet has heard ponies use when talking about her. But she only wishes they knew that she is not perfect. She is still a pony, who has her regrets and has made her mistakes.

Night Light is not listed as a character but is mentioned quite a lot.

Being a Mom of a prince and princess means not worrying about anything, right?

Wrong.

Twilight Velvet is not immune to fear, and the one night terror that constantly haunts her.

When Twilight comes to Applejack for help with a problem, Applejack gives her the best, if not unexpected, advice she could give that changes everything for her.

Inspired by the song "Biscuits" by Kacey Musgraves.

Twilight Velvet has been feeling a disconnect with her daughter for a long time. When things come to a head, they finally talk.

FEATURED 8/3/2019!
