The next day, Fluttershy and her family made on their way to Applejack's barn. When they got there they already saw that the Parker-Sparkle family was there, that being Peter, Twilight, Mayday and Trixie; as well as the Pie family, who even brought the Cake Twins to play with the other foals. Rumble was also at the farm, spending time with Apple Bloom.
"We're here!" Fluttershy said, getting their attention.
Peter waved, "Hi Fluttershy! Hi Logan! Oh and also Laura and Lightning Dust! It's great to see you!."
"Same, we really needed to speak with you Peter," Fluttershy said.
"Y'all can have a seat few now, later the boys can go elsewhere while we gals can do a little talking of our own," Applejack said.
"Sounds fun," Fluttershy turned to Logan. "Please try not to lose your temper around Deadpool."
"As long as he doesn't do anything to make me lose my temper," Logan said.
Fluttershy glared a bit, "Logan..."
Logan sighed, "Fine darling, I'll try to-"
"Hey Logan! Wanna play a game with us!?" Deadpool asked.
"Fine...let's play hide and seek, you can hide and we'll all try to find you," Logan said.
"Oh, I love this game, I always win, no one could ever find me!" Deadpool said and ran off.
Peter chuckled, "Too easy sometimes."
"Yeah, what a moron, so where are the others?" Laura asked.
Applejack looked to the distance, "Well, ah see Rainbow Dash and Johnny with their daughter...and ah can hear their daughter, very clearly from over there...them two don't look to happy."
The Pegasus couple arrived on the farm, Johnny carrying his crying daughter on his back. Both Johnny and Rainbow Dash looked really tired as evident from their eyes.
Pinkie Pie was the first to greet them, "Hey Dashie! Hey Johnny! Oh little Firefly, can I hold her!?"
"Sure, maybe you can get her to stop screaming," Johnny said, showing signs of agitation.
Pinkie picked up Firefly, who was still screaming and having a fit. "Aw, don't cry little pony, your Auntie Pinkie Pie's here."
Pinkie walked off with the baby as Johnny and Rainbow Dash walked to the group.
"Well howdy you two, how are ya?" Applejack greeted.
Rainbow Dash just glared, "Hey, Applejack...how's your baby doing?"
"Oh, he's doing fine, love that little bundle of joy, fills me with so much pride being his mama," Applejack said.
"Oh, how nice, isn't that nice Johnny?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"It's so nice to hear Dashie, how well Applejack seems to handle her son, I bet he's not up all night crying and leaving us wondering what we're supposed to be doing!" Johnny said as he rubbed his head, his voice volume going up each word he spoke.
Applejack felt a bit awkward, "Eh, some kids are different than others ah suppose. Ah hear that Spike has trouble getting Hope to eat."
Rainbow Dash and Johnny just glared at Applejack, causing her to back away a bit.
Peter looked on with some worry, "Well we're all here, let's have a nice talk, I'll grab the guys, you girls can stay here."
"Wait, where's Rarity?" Twilight asked.
Trixie pointed at Rarity's direction, "Over there."
Off in the distance, Rarity is trotting over, showing small signs of pregnancy with a slightly bigger belly. Bobby was carefully walking next to her, wanting to make sure she was comfortable as she made her way over.
"You sure you're ok walking? I don't want you to overdo it," Bobby said.
"Bobby darling, I'm fine, I'm not that pregnant that I can't walk," Rarity said.
"Ok, but just let me know if you feel tired alright?" Bobby said.
Rarity smiled at her husband, "I'm fine, but thanks for worrying, your care has made this a bit easier for me."
The two had arrived and met with the other families.
"Hey Bobby, hey Rarity," Peter greeted.
"Sup bro, room for two more to join?" Bobby asked.
"Sure, we can go see the guys, the girls can stay here," Peter said.
"Sounds good," Bobby said and turned Rarity's attention to him, "Will you be ok without me for a moment?"
"Sure dear, go talk with your friends, me and the girls will be fine here," Rarity said.
"Alright, but if you need me I'll be right nearby," Bobby said and looked to the mares. "Come get me if she needs anything."
"Don't worry, we'll watch over her," Twilight reassured.
Bobby nodded and walked off with Peter and the others guys as the mares took their seats. Pinkie Pie had given Firefly to Big Macintosh as he along with Rumble and Apple Bloom went to keep an eye on the fillies and colts.
"So, how is everypony?" Twilight asked.
"Doing great, our little guy is the greatest son a mama can ask fer. He's so sweet, polite and ah can tell he's gonna be a great farmer, he's already got interest in what we do, he'll make the Apple Family proud," Applejack said.
"Pfft, lucky you, I got a daughter that doesn't know when to stop crying, and when she's not crying she's throwing tantrums and making a mess, I don't even know what I'm doing wrong," Rainbow said, rubbing her mane with her hooves.
"If she's doing that it means you're not taking enough control, you have to tell her who's boss," Twilight said.
"I tried, me and Johnny tried being tough but it's not working! She just gets angrier, doesn't help that Johnny's by himself on occasion, now that I'm not pregnant the Wonderbolts have me flying with them on occasion," Rainbow said.
"Wow, that was fast," Twilight said.
"Hey once I was able to fly again I had to, I have an obligation to fill for the Wonderbolts, plus it helps me lose the baby fat," Rainbow said.
"Ah yeah, ah remember how much weight ah gained, thankfully Apple bucking has been helping me," Applejack said.
Twilight blushed a bit, "It took me forever to get rid of my baby fat, I hope it's all gone."
"I'm still trying to get rid of mine, so embarrassing, it went straight to my thighs," Janet said, then smirked. "Luckily Spike doesn't have a problem with it, he seems to like it."
"Mine went straight to my...well you know," Twilight said with a blush. "Peter made it very clear he liked that as well."
There was a slight chuckle among the group, with the exception of Rainbow Dash.
"Anyway that's my motherly life so far."
"Rainbow Dash," Twilight said sympathetically. "It's only been two months, you'll get better."
"Or worse," Rainbow lamented. Pinkie patted her back.
"Come on, I'm sure you'll do great, remember we're all here for you and Johnny," Pinkie said.
"Maybe it's just a phase, she'll grow out of it," Fluttershy said.
"I really hope so," Rainbow lamented.
Rarity rubbed her stomach, "Question is, how will this little pony be when they're ready to be born?"
Twilight tapped her chin a little, "Maybe it can also be in the genes, Johnny has fire powers and he admits it can affect his mood, so maybe your daughter is showing signs of being Johnny's daughter."
Rainbow looked unsure, "Can that really be it? I mean she's only two months old, I mean maybe if Mayday were climbing walls right now I'd buy it, but I don't think that's the reason."
"Maybe it works differently, keep in mind that Peter and Johnny got their powers differently," Twilight said.
"Different situations maybe, but it's still mostly the same," Rainbow said.
"But for Peter, he just got bitten by a spider, Johnny and his family went through some giant space cloud. Reed said because of that big cloud he and the others went through they got their powers because of their personalities. Even if it's not directly his powers maybe your daughter acts like that because Johnny is naturally hot-headed and can be a little hot-tempered," Twilight explained.
Rainbow sighed and laid back against the wall, "I don't even know, all I know is I really wish she would stop crying so much. Though my mom told me I wasn't too different when I was a baby so maybe you have a point on the parent thing or whatever."
Twilight turned to Applejack, "Has your son shown signs of having Remy's powers?"
Applejack shook her head, "No, though Remy says he might show signs later on, that's if he has the X-Gene."
"The X-Gene? What's that?" Rainbow asked.
"It's the gene which all the mutants have, Remy says he along with Bobby and Logan have the X-Gene which makes them mutants," Applejack said.
"Can the child get it?" Rarity asked, once again wondering about her baby.
"It's possible, has Bobby ever talked about it?" Applejack asked.
"Bobby doesn't talk much about this, he says it's just some science mumbo-jumbo and it really doesn't matter to him," Rarity said.
Twilight turned to Laura, "You have the X-Gene too correct? Because Logan is your father?"
"I was created as Logan's close, so of course I would have the X-Gene, but that was mostly machines," Laura said. "I will say that there's a good chance your kid could end up as a mutant though, I've seen mutants that have parents that are mutants, such as Nightcrawler," Laura said.
"Nightcrawler? The one with the blue hair and long tail that talks like Photo Finish?" Fluttershy asked.
"Who? Oh that lady with the camera that you modeled for once? Yeah him," Laura said.
Rarity looked a little nervous, "So there's a chance that my child could develop powers like Bobby?"
"I guess so, but that shouldn't mean anything, it's still your child," Twilight said.
"Of course, I just worry what it would have to go through, Bobby told me all the troubles he went through because of his powers," Rarity said.
"Nopony said it would be easy, but we still have to try, I run that same risk too with Mayday, even if she's not a mutant she might still develop Peter's powers" Twilight said.
"Just be there for your kids, all of you," Laura stated.
"That's all we can do," Applejack said.
As they agreed among themselves, Lightning nudged Fluttershy. "Pst, vacation, remember?"
Fluttershy nodded, "Um Twilight, you and Peter are going on vacation right?"
"Oh, yeah, me and the whole house, why do you ask?" Twilight asked.
"Me and my family want to take vacation, we were hoping you can give some ideas," Fluttershy said.
"A vacation, I could really use one," Rarity said.
"Same here, big time," Rainbow said.
Twilight had an idea, "We should all go, I can get us all booked to a Beach House not too far from here, you can bring your whole family if you'd like."
"Sounds great, I can bring Sweetie Belle along," Rarity said.
"I hope Scootaloo counts, could spend a little time with her," Rainbow said.
"Of course, we're bringing Rumble so you should be able to bring Scootaloo," Twilight said. "Pinkie you can even bring The Cakes, I'll get a place big enough."
"That sounds fun!" Pinkie said. "What about my sisters?"
"Them too, I'll even ask my Big Brother," Twilight said. "Johnny can ask his family too."
"I'm not sure if they'll be able to, they're usually really busy, they haven't even had much time to see Firefly," Rainbow Dash said.
"I'll also bring my brother," Fluttershy said, much to the dismay of Lightning Dust and Laura.
"Then it's settled, we'll take a big family vacation!" Twilight said, getting some notions of agreement from her friends.
Off with Peter, he and his friends were talking about similar things.
"Our little guy is gonna be something, he's already showing an interest in farming, won't take too long before he's bucking Apples with me and his mother," Remy said.
"At least he's eager to continue his family's business," Peter said.
Johnny groaned, "You're having better luck than I am with Firefly, why does she keep crying all the time?" He turned to Peter, "Did Mayday ever do this?"
Peter shook his head, "No, and I can vouch that Hope hasn't either."
"Well Hope does make her fair share of messes," Spike reminded. "But yeah she doesn't cry that much."
"Yeah, so it's not you Johnny, some kids are just different," Peter insisted.
Johnny shrugged, "Or maybe you just have better luck."
"Dude, it's me, Peter Parker, I'm not known for good luck," Peter said.
"Peter, get real, your 'Parker Luck' has worked for you just as much as it's worked against you, and I know for sure that your positives are far more impressive than your negatives," Johnny said.
"He's got a point, I mean since coming to this world things have gotten much better for you, great wife, wonderful daughter, ponies love you, yer a lucky guy," Logan said.
"Hopefully I can be that lucky when Rarity has her baby," Bobby said.
"Don't worry, we'll be there for you and Rarity," Peter reminded.
"As always," Remy said.
Outside the foals are playing with each other, or trying to, hard for them to enjoy themselves when Firefly keeps yelling and screaming.
Rumble went to the screaming filly, "Lower your voice, please..."
Firefly stuck her tongue out and continued to throw her tantrum, much to the annoyance of the fillies.
Mayday covered her eyes, "Why is she so loud!? Hope wasn't this loud!"
Hope herself also covered her ears and herself started to whine at having to deal with such a crying filly.
Firefly continued to cry out when Pound Cake offered her a cookie, "Will this get you to stop?"
Firefly grabbed it and tossed it at his head, annoying the young baker.
"She can't eat it anyway, she's too young," Pumpkin Cake reminded her.
"I don't see you doing anything!" Pound Cake shouted.
"Come on you two, don't start yelling!" Apple Bloom said.
"He/She started it!" Pound and Pumpkin said while pointing at each other, glaring soon afterwards.
Rumble shook his head, "Seriously everypony, we need to calm her down, even Hope is crying now." Rumble gestured to Hope, who is receiving attention from Big Mac in an attempt for her to stop crying as well.
"Great, now we have two crying babies to deal with, such a pain," Apple Bloom said.
Pumpkin got her attention, "I think your nephew is handling it."
Apple Bloom saw Oliver making his way toward Firefly, offering her a pacifier. Firefly took it and began to enjoy it, feeling a little calm.
"How did he even know to do that?" Apple Bloom asked.
"Babies understand babies I guess," Rumble said.
Mayday sighed, "At least she stopped crying, that was such a pain, I think I have a headache now." She felt somepony nudge her and saw Pound Cake with another cookie.
"Will this make you feel better?" he asked with a blush on his face. Mayday groaned a bit and laid back while sighing loudly. "Guess you're too annoyed, my mom does that too sometimes. But I'll leave this for you in case you change your mind."
Pound Cake set the cookie on a napkin and sat by Mayday to rub her mane, hoping to get her to relax.
Apple Bloom giggled a bit at that, "Aw, how sweet, maybe he has a crush on her."
Rumble shrugged, "Probably, Trixie thinks so at least, though I don't think she's ready for a coltfriend."
Apple Bloom gave a playful glance, "Feeling protective of Mayday? Mah brother didn't mind mah sister dating Remy, plus you see how it's like with protective brothers, like Peter and Shining Armor."
Rumble nodded, "I guess, still it can't be helped."
Later on Twilight was able to explain the vacation idea, getting all the ponies excited.
"Sweet, a vacation sounds totally fun," Bobby said.
"Could use one, though we gonna need somepony to watch the farm," Remy said.
"Don't worry, ah can get that covered," Applejack reassured.
Fluttershy giggled a bit, "This is so exciting, all of us and our families. I can't wait to tell my little brother."
Logan glared at Fluttershy, "There is absolutely NO FREAKEN WAY that yer brother is-" One glare from Fluttershy shut Logan up as he nervously took a step back. "-I mean...sounds great." Logan did a nervous smile for Fluttershy, to which she turned away to talk to her friends.
Peter and the others looked on, feeling shocked and surprised that Logan had one pony that could make him freak out like that. They don't know if it's Logan's respect for his wife or perhaps the Stare that Fluttershy has.
