A few hours after Cadence and Shining (along with the foals left) Twilight’s castle, they were now in The Friendship Express that was rolling down the tracks towards Canterlot. Fizzlepop was now snuggling into Cadence, who was holding both her and Flurry Heart close to her chest. Tempest was playing with Flurry Heart as the little purple unicorn had a big brown teddy, and Flurry had her trusty snail plushie, Whammy. Tempest eyed the snail and babbled. “So, Whammy, does she need a diapee? She a baby too, wight?”
Flurry shook her head. “No, Whammy is a big snaiw, dun need diapees.”
Tempest took out a plush teddy bear. “Wew I tink he needs a diapee, Teddy is a baby.”
Flurry giggled and pointed out. “Ya need ta name tat teddy, ya can’t just caw him Teddy.”
Tempest held her plushie out and babbled. “Uh how about b-” The train then went over a bump and she accidently babbled. “Baba.”
Cadence dawwed and snuggled the filly. “Oh, she called her teddy bear Baba.”
Tempest squealed, kicking about in her diaper at the sudden snuggle.
Shining Armor blushed, looking at his wife as she put the chubby filly down. He sighed. “Alright, I admit it. She’s adorable.”
Cadence patted Tempest’s diaper and cooed. “Are you sure she isn’t going to take over Equestria? She might just be pretending to drool and go potty in her diapers.”
Shining shook his head, blushing in embarrassment that he ever thought a foal could be evil. Meanwhile, the two foals resumed bouncing their plushies around and Cadence commented. “Isn’t she so wonderful with Flurry Heart? I’ve never seen two foals play for this long.”
Shining nodded in agreement, seeing Flurry taking Fizzlepop’s teddy and one of her clean diapers and started to tape the padding around the plushie. Shining chuckled at the sight. “Yeah, it’s nice to see Flurry playing with other foals and being nice to them.”
Cadence nodded as Fizzlepop lifted her teddy, bouncing him around in a diaper. The foals played for so long that when Fizzlepop was pretending that her teddy being fussy, Flurry was having her Whammy trying to change the teddy’s diaper.
Cadence, seeing an opportunity to see if the foals need a diaper change, casually took a hoof and pulled the seam of Fizzlepop’s diaper back. The filly squeaked as the motherly alicorn cooed. “Sorry, sweetie, just a diaper check.”
Tempest gazed up at the pink alicorn with a puzzled look as Cadence explained. “Auntie Cady needs to be sure your diaper is clean, so I’ll check it once in a while. Right now you’re only a little wet, sweetheart. We can change you later.”
Flurry Heart giggled and Fizzlepop turned away, blushing at how she didn’t even noticed she’d peed.
Cadence then used her magic to lift her daughter into her hooves, pulled the seam of her diaper back, and exclaimed. “Look, you’re all clean!” She then laid Flurry down and started blowing raspberries into her tummy, making the filly squeal and kick about. Cadence nuzzled Flurry. “Oh, you’re just my sweet little princess. Yes you are, yes you are.”
Tempest looked up and made grabby hooves, realizing she wanted some attention too. Shining lifted Tempest and plopped her into his lap. “Oh, you are just a little cutie, aren't you?” She blushed, lifted her tiny hooves into the air, and babbled adorably. Shining couldn’t help but sigh, seeing the once evil mare that had enslaved Canterlot was now just a babbling foal, drooling and loving the attention Shining gave her. He hugged Fizzlepop and blushed seeing Cadence eye him. He rolled his eyes and conceded. “Okay, you’re right, honey. She’s just an innocent baby now.”
Cadence smirked at Shining. “Told you, Mister Overprotective. Now, want to feed the destroyer of worlds a bottle?”
Shining rolled his eyes again. “Okay, Cadence, you made your point,” He then patted Tempest’s diaper, making it crinkle as he asked. “Want a baba?”
The filly nodded her head, feeling her tummy grumble. Cadence then took out a glass bottle already filled with water, as she stirred in some formula and shook it up. Fizzlepop drooled a little seeing the mixture froth and bubble. Cadence drifted the bottle to Shining and he held it to Fizzlepop’s mouth as she naturally began to suckle.
Cadence dawwed. “Look at her go, what a natural.”
Fizzlepop did blush a little but just relaxed, feeling sleepy as she snuggled deep into Shining’s fur. Cadence then made a bottle for Flurry and plopped it into her mouth and soon the only sound that could be heard was the gently suckling from the foals as they drifted off into a deep sleep.
Flurry Heart and Fizzlepop both woke up a few hours later, strapped into a stroller together. Fizzlepop squealed. “Wha happened, whewe’s ta twain?!”
Flurry giggled. “We swept thwough ta whowe wide, siwwy.”
Fizzlepop rubbed her eyes. “No way! Why did I get so sweepy tough?”
Flurry giggled as she explained. ”Why ya tink? Ya a foa,w we gots to takes nappy once in a whiwe, ow ya can get vewy cwanky.”
Fizzlepop pouted and crossed her hooves. ”I dun get cwanky!”
Cadence then cooed. “Oh, sounds like Fizzlepop didn’t get enough sleep,” The filly looked up to see Cadence’s smiling face. “Hey sweetie, you still tired?”
Fizzlepop shook her head and whined. “No, nah tiwed!”
Cadence then popped a pink pacifier into Fizzlepop’s mouth as she blushed, suckling, as the mare then lifted the teddy bear plushie with her magic. “And here’s your baba, sweetheart.” She slowly placed the plush in Fizzlepop’s hooves who snuggled it while suckling her pacifer.
Shining shook his head. “You have some sort of magic, Cadence. Foals just calm down the second you’re around them.”
Cadence lightly scoffed. “Oh please. It’s just luck, really.”
Flurry giggled and poked Fizzlepop’s chubby belly. “Ya a cwanky baby! Ya a cwanky baby!”
Fizzlepop giggled, kicking about. “Stop it, tat tickwes!”
The foals were now poking and laughing, when they finally arrived at a house.
Shining gulped and shuffled nervously, he knew what this place was and he didn’t like it.
Cadence laughed. “Oh what, you scared of your mom?”
Shining just groaned. “No, but ever since Flurry was born she keeps telling embarrassing stories about when I was a foal every time I come to visit.”
Cadence giggled. “Oh my. Well it’s too late to turn back now!” She then knocked on the door.
They didn't have to wait long, as Twilight Velvet opened the door and squealed. “Oh my gosh! Shining, Cadence!” She lifted both babies into her hooves and smothered them in kisses. “You-are-so adorable, little ones!” Both foals kicked about and babbled happily at all the attention. Twilight Velvet then giggled, patting their diapers. “Oops, sorry. I might of made them pee.”
Cadence laughed taking the foals onto her back. “Oh, it’s alright, Velvet. From the looks of it, those diapers can hold a lot more. I decided to upgrade, seeing it was better to buy a more absorbent brand.”
Twilight Velvet laughed. “Oh, I bet Flurry gets that from Shining. He used to be quite the soaker himself. When he was a foal I would have to make him wear two nighttime diapers every night, or he would soak his crib.”
Shining groaned, slamming a hoof to his face. “Mom!”
Twilight Velvet then turned to Fizzlepop and cooed. “Oh, and this must be Fizzlepop, Twilight already sent me a letter explaining the situation. My goodness, she’s adorable.”
Cadence sighed in relief. “That’s great. I just hope you don’t mind having two foals running around.”
Twilight Velvet laughed. “Are you kidding me?! I have been dreaming of two foals running around these halls again for so long. Now come on, don’t be shy. I have a playpen already set up for the two cutie pies.”
Cadence strode in with Shining grumbling, following close behind. The pink alicorn lowered the foals into the playpen. It was filled with blocks and toys. They began crawling around, exploring, as the adults all sat down on a couch. Cadence smiled at the bright blue playpen and asked. “So, is this something you bought recently?”
Twilight Velvet giggled as she waved a hoof. “No, I actually kept this. When Shining was a baby, he would always try to to find a way to escape from it. Sometimes I would catch him climbing over it but getting his diaper snagged. I’d find him running away with his diaper plopped over the railing. And the best part was, he’d never even notice he didn’t have a diaper on.”
Shining’s face was so red Cadence could feel the steam coming off it. But she still cooed. “Oh Shiny, looks like you are the reason Flurry is so rambunctious.”
Shining meeped in embarrassment. “Sure, maybe. But Mom, are you just going to embarass me all day? Because if so, I think I’m gonna leave.”
Even Flurry Heart and Fizzlepop looked up wanting to hear more embarrassing stories about Shining. But just then, Night Light came in with a bottle of soda, smiling. “Oh hey, you guys are here!”
He placed the soda bottle on the coffee table, lifted the two little ones in his magic and snuggled the foals. “Oh just look at you two all bright and happy,” Flurry babbled and touched his face as he giggled. “Yes, I’m your grandpa. Can you say, grandpa?”
Flurry babbled. “Abbababa.” Everypony dawwed as Tempest tried to say Grandpa too but also babbled. “Abbababa.”
They all giggled and Night Light nuzzled Fizzlepop as well. “Yes, you can call me grandpa too. As far as I’m concerned, you’re already adopted by Twilight.”
Shining laughed. “Please, I doubt she’ll have time for changing diapers.”
Twilight Velvet nuzzled Shining. “That's what your father said about me when I was pregnant with you.”
Cadence dawwed again and Shining just sighed as he thought. “Great, here comes the mushy stuff again.”
Night Light laughed, placing the foals back in the playpen. “She's right you know. I didn’t think we were ready for foals after learning we were going to have one. But even with how rambunctious you were, we couldn't have asked for a better colt. You were so full of energy, but you hardly ever got into trouble, unlike your sister.”
Twilight Velvet cooed. “Ooh, and he was so good with potty training. I will never forget how while I was writing my stories, he would pop into my room and shout proudly. ‘I went potty!’ Sometimes with his diaper still pulled down to his ankles.”
They all laughed, and Shining sunk into the couch unsure of how much more he could take. Twilight Velvet smirked at her son. “Okay, I think I’ve embarrassed Shining enough for one day. Now, I was hoping we would all go out together to buy foal supplies.”
Cadence jumped up with excitement. “Oh, that does sound lovely!” Then she added. “But somepony needs to stay and watch the little ones. I don’t want them getting into trouble, Flurry Heart especially.”
Night Light came up and suggested. “I can do it, I wouldn’t mind watching them. It’ll be nice to have some little ones around the house again.”
But Shining got up and insisted. “No you all can go, I’ll watch the foals.”
Twilight Velvet eyed him. “You sure you want to do that, Shining?”
Shining nodded rapidly. ”Yeah, I’m just tired from the train trip is all.” But in the back of his mind he thought. “I need a break from my embarrassing adventures as a foal. I don’t need Mom telling everypony about my diaper dance.”
Cadence got up, smooched Shining, and cooed. “Okay, darling. I'll leave you the diaper bag. I'm sure I don’t have to explain to you how to care for foals.”
Shining laughed. “You kidding? Of course I don’t. Don’t worry about me, you all just go and have fun.”
Twilight Velvet smirked. “Alright, Daddy Shiny. You behave, and I'll bring you back some pizza.”
Shining scoffed and playfully whined. “Mom, I’m not a colt!”
Twilight Velvet nuzzled him. “I know, sorry. I’ll try not to do that too much. It’s just, seeing you with the foals, it brings back so many memories.”
Night Light smirked. “Alright, Daddy, just don’t burn down the house.” And then the group left with Shining collapsing onto the couch, giving an exasperated sigh. “Finally. I thought I was going to die of embarrassment,” He then looked down at the foals and eyed them. “You two better behave for Daddy. I’m in no mood for games.”
But Flurry babbled to Fizzlepop. “Hey, Fizzlepop, wana pway: ‘Who can’t get caught by Daddy’?”
Fizzlepop blushed. “Bu he said we bettew behave, and I was being a good foaw on ta twain and stuff.”
Flurry crossed her forehooves. “Come on, Fizzwepop. I do this aw ta time, and Daddy woves me vewy much.”
Fizzlepop blushed and babbled. “Awight, but no cwazy magic ow anythin’.”
Flurry lit her horn and the two poofed outside of the playpen as Shining got up. “Oh no! Flurry Heart, bad filly! You and Fizzlepop get back in the playpen right...” But before he could finish, they ran off giggling and babbling. Shining ran after them, smirking. “Oh, I see you two want to play tag! Fine, let’s play! I’ll have you two back in the playpen in no time!”
Shining chased them around for an hour with no success. Panting and wheezing, he collapsed on the floor.
Flurry and Fizzlepop peeked out from the corner. The little alicorn sighed. “Oh, we bettew stop. Wooks wike Daddy is done.”
Fizzlepop whined. ”No faiw, we wew havin so much fun.”
Flurry sighed. “Yeah, bu Daddy wooks wike he couwd use a bweak.”
Fizzlepop groaned but followed Flurry as they both crawled to Shining and nuzzled him. He smirked and hugged him close to his chest. “Oh, you won’t get away this time,” He then headed over to the couch and sat down with the foals. “Alright, how about we have story time?”
Flurry rolled her eyes as Tempest asked. “Wha does he mean by tat?”
Flurry crossed her forelegs as she pouted. “He onwy says tat so he dun have to pway with us, but I guess we dun got a choice.”
Shining then plopped pink pacifiers in the foals mouths and took out a story book. “Alright, no more talking. Just pay attention to Daddy’s story: A long time ago, in a castle far far away…”
After about an hour, both foals were content snuggling into Shining. But then they both noticed that the prince was asleep, snoring softly. Flurry gave him a sweet look and dawwed. “Aww, wooks wilke Daddy is tiwed. Wets hewp him go to sweepies.”
Fizzlepop nodded bouncing on her (now slightly yellow) diaper. “Yeah, he does woked twied. We bettew hewp him, bu how?”
Flurry babbled. “Wew fiwst, he needs a pwushie.”
Fizzlepop grunted lighting up her horn and floated her teddy into Shining’s hooves who snuggled the teddy bear while mumbling. “Brutus Force.”
Flurry paused and poked her diaper, seeing it was slightly yellow as well as she babbled, “Ya know, I neva undewstood why awdus dun wike diapees. Tey weawwy comfy and keep ya fwom making messies on ta fwoor. Pwus, ya dun have to use that scawy big potty.”
Fizzlepop blushed. “Ya not suggesting ta we put a diapee on ya daddy? Tat cowd get us in big twowbe.”
Flurry shook her head. “No. Besides, I dun know if thewes a diapee his size. He wowd need extwa lawge, and Mommy onwy buys me me-me-medwums,” Then Flurry Heart turned to the curtains and babbled. “Bu we can make somthin wike a blankie just to hewp Daddy sweep,” She crawled over and with her magic tugged the curtains from the window, then waddled over to Shining and called. “Fizzwepop, I need ya hewp”
Fizzlepop grunted, doing as Flurry said as she clumsy threw the sheets over Shining and babbled. “Otay, dun!” Then Fizzlepop smirked thinking. “Let’s do one more thing!” She turned to one of the foal bottles and asked Flurry. “How about we put somthin in Daddy’s mouth to ..uh..hewp him sweep?”
Flurry giggled. “Sounds wike a gweat idea! But owa babas awe too smaww fow him.”
Tempest picked up a open soda bottle on the coffee table and took it with her magic. “Wew, this can wowk. Soda is fow gwown ups.” She smirked and grunted as she took a rubber nipple and plopped it over the top of the soda bottle, then slowly plopped into Shining’s mouth. He suckled the soda. Then Flurry’s horn began to glow and she sneezed, shooting a beam of magic at her dad. It poofed the curtain into a giant blue foal blanket, the teddy grew a few feet, and the soda bottle was now a big foal bottle.
Fizzlepop gasped! “Flurry, tat was awesome!”
Flurry blushed. “Uh...I didn’ mean ta do tat. Daddy is gonna be so mad when.he wakes up.””
Fizzlepop waddled over and snuggled into Shining. “Well nothin ya can do now. We bettew just wait fow Mommy to come and fix it.”
Flurry followed, snuggled next to Fizzlepop, and hugged her. “Ya my bestest fwiend evew, Fizzwepop.”
Fizzlepop blushed and babbled. “Wew, tanks, guess ya my fwiend too. But why do ya tink we gots these weiwd magic sugwes?”
Flurry shrugged. “I dun know, maybe is a foaw ting tat ya gwow out of?”
Twilight Velvet and Cadence were both coming back from their trip, with shopping bags filled with foal supplies, as Twilight Velvet cooed. “Oh, this reminds me of when I was pregnant with Shining. You see, I had no idea what a foal needed and spent hundreds of bits on tons of foal supplies.”
Cadence blushed. “Yeah, I know that feeling. We definitely stocked up on too much diapers. In fact, we accidently gave Twilight a few dozen diaper packages.”
Twilight Velvet burst into laughter. “Oh dear! Well maybe they’ll come in handy for Fizzlepop. I mean, from Twilight’s letter, it sounds like Fizzlepop’s going to be a foal for sometime.”
Cadence shrugged. “Who knows? But deciding to adopt out of the blue is a lot of responsibility. And Twilight may not be ready for a foal.”
Then they both strode through the door to see Shining Armor snuggled under big a blue blanket with the two fillies. He was suckling on a giant foal bottle filled with soda while hugging a oversized teddy.
Twilight Velvet laughed. “Oh my, are you sure Shining is ready too?”
Cadence rolled her eyes as her husband woke up under the blankets, spat out the bottle, and gasped! “Cadence! I...I have no idea what’s going on!”
The pink coated alicorn laughed. “I think it looks like the foals were foalsitting you.”
Shining sighed, seeing the fillies nuzzled against him. And Twilight Velvet waved a hoof. “Oh, don’t worry about it, dear. You just sit tight while I fix dinner.”
Cadence came over and patted Shiny’s tummy. “Need anything, sweetie?” She playfully teased.
Shining smirked at his wife. “Just don’t put a diaper on me.”
The princess giggled, then whispered. “Okay, but you did look cute in a diaper that one time.”
Shining chuckled. “Yeah, I remember that morning. You were the one who heard the weird crinklingnoise, and found Flurry clapping as she had successfully taped me in one of her blue diapers.”
Cadence laughed, before turning to the foals. “That was adorable, but these magic surges are getting out of control. While we were out, I enrolled Tempest into magic daycare. They start classes tomorrow.”
Shining nodded in agreement and looked over at the sleeping fillies. ”Right. The sooner these two get control of their magic surges, the better.”
