//------------------------------// // chapter 7 // Story: Applespike // by Applespike forever //------------------------------// Applespike Chapter 7 – Fimfiction The next morning, Spike woke up and saw that his wife was still asleep. He turned his gaze to the crib and saw that his son was awake and was looking at his dad asking for him to pick him up. Slowly and quietly, he got out of bed and walked to his son, picked him up and took him downstairs. When he got downstairs, he sat his son down in his highchair and made breakfast for everypony. Once he was done, he sat down and ate his breakfast, and once he was done and fed his son he picked Applejack’s plate of pancakes and went back upstairs to his bedroom, and saw his wife still asleep snuggled in the covers/quilt. Spike smiled and put his son on his side of the bed and placed the plate of pancakes on Applejack’s nightstand and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. Meanwhile, Applespike slowly crawled to his mother and nuzzled into her face gently. Feeling something warm against her face, her eyes fluttered open and she smiled as she saw her son nuzzling her face. She nuzzled back and kissed his head. She did this just as Spike was coming out of the bathroom. He saw his wife awake and smiled. “hey babe did you sleep well?” he asked siting on the bed just as Applejack was siting up with their son in her hooves. “Yeah I slept good.” She said stretching. “I made you some pancakes and brought them up for you babe.” Spike said gently grabbing Applespike from his wife while Applejack turned to see the plate of pancakes on her nightstand. When Applejack ate her pancakes, she put her plate back on her nightstand and got out of bed. She went to the bathroom/ensuite and brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she was done, she came back into the bedroom and saw her husband playing with their son on the floor. She smiled at the sight and went to take her plate downstairs. After washing her plate, she heard somepony coming downstairs and saw her other kids come in the kitchen. Once her kids saw her, they waved to her and gave her a hug, she hugged back and said. “Hey sugercubes, did you both sleep, well last night?” Cinnamon Stick smiled and nodded. “yep mum I slept alright.” He turned to his sister, Cinnamon Roll; and she nodded as well. “I slept great too, what about you mum?” Cinnamon Roll asked separating from the embrace. “I slept good.” Their mother said. After that the two siblings went to do their chores. Meanwhile Applejack went back upstairs and saw her husband still playing with their son. When Spike heard the bedroom, door open he looked up at his wife and asked her to join them. She gladly did and sat down next to him while Applespike looked up at his mother and began crawling towards her. Applejack smiled and picked him up, holding him up above her head and nuzzling nose to nose with her son, sometimes holding his higher and then bringing him back down to nuzzle him again. Spike smiled at the sight of his wife and son nuzzling. It was a cute sight to behold. He wiped a tear from the corner of his eye and went back to looking at his wife, who had stopped nuzzling her son and put him back on the floor, while playing with his toys. Sensing she was being watched, she turned to her right and noticed her husband smiling at her. She went to her husband and hugged him looking up at him, “What’s up babe?” she asked kissing his chest gently. Spike smiled back and kissed her head looking her in the eyes saying, “Just seeing you holding up our son and playing with him, was the cutest thing I have seen.” He said blushing. “plus…. you’re …. cute.” Applejack blushed redder than her brother, with the blush going to the tips of her ears. She snugged her head more into his chest to hide her blush. Spike chuckled at his wife being embarrassed. When her blush was gone, she moved her head off her husband and looked down at her son, who was by her hooves again asking to be picked up again. She laughed and picked him up gently bouncing him up and down while leaning on her husband.

Back downstairs, the two Cinnamon siblings where done with their chores and just came back into the house, they went upstairs to see what their parents and baby brother was up to. Before they went in, they knocked on the door and waited for an answer. They heard a muffled ‘come in’ from their father and opened the door and saw their parents and baby brother cuddling with Applespike squealing and laughing as his mother was still bouncing him up and down slowly and gently. They both smiled, “hey mom, dad, me and my brother have finished with our chores and we wondered what you both were doing.” Cinnamon Roll said with a smile, sitting down opposite her mother. Spike smiled and said that they just played with Applespike all day. They both just nodded and then Cinnamon Stick sat down as well. Applespike looked to his siblings and tried to get out of his mother’s hooves, getting the hint Applejack gently put him down and watched as Applespike crawled to his siblings. After hours of spending time with family, the Cinnamon siblings went to bed, while Applejack picked up her son, she walked up to the crib and gently put him in. She put a fluffy blanket over him and started gently rocking him back and forth. After a few minutes, Applespike was fast asleep. Applejack started to slow her rocking until she came to a halt and quietly moved backwards to the bed, while keeping an eye on the crib. When she got to the bed, she got into bed and laid down. Once her head was on her pillow, she heard the bed creak and felt Spike wrap his arms around her nuzzling her head, she felt his breath on her sensitive ear as he whispered, “Goodnight babe.” And with that he kissed her sensitive ear and pulled her close and closed his eyes. Applejack smiled and leaned into his embrace and as she was closing her eyes she spoke, as she drifted off to sleep, “Goodnight Spike, I love you *yawn* so much.”
