A few weeks after Daisy’s being brought into the family officially, the young filly accompanies her mother and sister to Cheerilee’s foalshower. Cheerilee is now eight months pregnant and having another filly. “This is so nice, so simple,” says AJ as she helps note down all the presents for her sister in law. 

“Yeah, after the first one, I never bothered with a big fuss ever again,” giggles Cheerilee in response. She takes the next gift in her hooves and reads the card before opening it. This one is from Scootaloo, her little sister. She opens it. “The Little Chick, a board book,” reads Cheerilee before hugging her sister. “Thank you.” 

“Anytime,” responds Scootaloo with a smile. “I’m so happy for you, sis! I can’t wait to be an auntie again!” 

“Well, only four months to go,” responds Cheerilee with a smile. She takes up the next gift and opens it. She reads the tag. “Rainbow Dash,” she reads. She then opens the box. Inside she finds hoofmade burp clothes. She thanks RD and moves onto the next box. “Fluttershy,” she reads. She opens the box. Inside she finds a hoofsewn set of wunzies. “Thank you, I love it,” says Cheerilee. She then moves onto the next one. She reads the next tag, it’s AJ’s box. Inside she finds a hoofsewn quilt decked out with little apples. She also finds a little apple rattle. She thanks AJ with a hug before moving on to the rest of the gifts. She opens up the ones from Babs, Apple Bloom’s, Pinkie’s before the shower finally wraps up for the afternoon. She hugs everypony goodbye before heading off for a nap. 

On the way back to the house, AJ happily talks with her daughters, sister, nieces, and cousin. “Hard to believe there’s gonna be another little Apple soon,” says AJ with a smile. “I’m so happy for Big Mack and Cheerilee.” 

“Yeah, same here,” agrees Apple Bloom. 

“Yeah, can’t wait!” Agrees Babs. 

A few minutes later, they arrive back at Sweet Apple Acres where they all enjoy lunch out in the orchard together. It’s been a good day and they wouldn’t have it any other way. While the adults talk, the fillies and Babs’ colt run through the orchard laughing and having an all around good time. They play for hours on end, only breaking for snacks or for Daisy to do her inhaler. Definitely definitely a perfect afternoon indeed.
