Two years after the wedding, Pear Butter becomes pregnant with their first foal. Bright Mac couldn't be any prouder. He can't wait to be a father! The two happily build a nursery with plenty of help from Granny Smith. After the nursery is built, Pear Butter goes off to their bedroom and sits down and begins to write her father a letter.
Dear Father,
I'm expecting my first foal. I can't wait! I wish you were around, if not for me, but for your future grandfoals. I miss you, paw.
Sincerely,
Pear Butter
She then seals the letter and sends it off in the mail to Vanhoover. A few weeks later, the letter arrives in Vanhoover. That afternoon, Grandpear goes out to the mailbox and opens it and inside finds a letter from Pear Butter, which he takes inside and puts in a drawer, not even bothering to read it. He honestly has no idea that she is expecting her first foal and he doesn't want to. He heads back out to the factory to check on production. Right now, that's the only way he can keep his mind off the letter he just received from Pear Butter.
Meanwhile at the Apple Farm, Bright Mac is out tending to the trees while Pear Butter works on finishing up the nursery decorations of simple yellows and oranges and blues. Once she finishes the nursery decor, Pear Butter goes out to tea with Mrs. Cake and Mr. Cake.
"So, you're expecting, congratulations, Buttercup!" says Mrs. Cake to Pear Butter over tea.
"Ah, thanks," replies Buttercup. "I just wish dad would tell me the same or even bother writing me back in general." She lets out a sigh.
"It's okay, Pear, we'll always be here for you," says Mrs. Cake putting her hoof onto of Pear Butter's. Pear Butter smiles.
"Thanks, that means a lot to me," replies Pear Butter.
The three continue to talk for hours. They share laughs and smiles. Around two hours later, they all part ways. Pear Butter returns to the Apple Farm and the Cakes return to Sugar Cube Corner. Pear can't help but admit that she's glad the Cakes are like a second set of parents to her and she's glad they'll always have her back no matter what.
