One year later, Buttercup gives birth to a healthy little colt, whom she and Bright Mac name Big Mac after his father. Buttercup smiles down at the little colt in her hooves. "He got my maw's bright red coat," sighs Buttercup. 

"He's a very handsome little colt," sighs Bright Mac as he takes the colt and cuddles him in his hooves. Buttercup smiles with a little giggle. She then gets up and goes inside and sits down at the table and writes a letter to her father.

Dear Paw,
Today, I had my first foal-a colt named Big Mac. He has mother's red coat. I wish you'd come back for his sake. I miss you, Paw.
Sincerely,
Pear Butter

She takes it down to the mailbox and puts it inside. Three days later, her Paw receives the letter and again doesn't open it but goes and sticks it in the drawer with the other one. He now has no idea his grandson exists and honestly, he doesn't care. She's the one that chose the Apples over him and now, she's feeling the repercussions of her betrayal and that is him not responding to her letters. She'll just have to live with that.
