//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: The Birth of a New Friendship. // by ROFLBED0 //------------------------------// Twilight happily skipped to the home of her parents. A smile of victory hung high on her face. Her mission of infiltrating Christina Clydesdale's studio and sabotaging her show was a complete success. She eagerly returned home to join her family's celebration. As she arrived at the house, she was covered by hugs of gratitude. "I knew you could do it, Twily," Shining said as he held his sister in and ruffled her hair. Cadence and her pregnant belly moved towards Twilight and wrapped her hooves around the lavender mare. "That was amazing; you pulled it off perfectly,” Cadence said. Dazzle and Orion also walked toward their daughter and held her. "I think it's finally over," Dazzle said. "After this, I doubt that Christina will ever say anything on her show ever again," Orion said as he took his seat back on the couch. Sitting next to him was the sleeping Aurora. The little filly was picked up by her father and rocked gently. She opened her eyes. She smiled and reached out at her father's muzzle. "Who's daddy’s little angel?" Orion said in a baby voice. Twilight walked over to her father and joined him on the couch. Aurora saw Twilight and reached out for her as well. Orion slowly handed the little filly to his daughter. Twilight brought her little in for a hug and the little foal wrapped her hooves around her sister. Suddenly Aurora put her lips to her sister's teat and tried to suckle. It caught Twilight so off guard that she screamed a little. Dazzle saw what was happening and rushed over to Twilight. She snatched Aurora up and took her in her hooves. "No Aurora, that's not mommy!" Dazzle yelled as she did. Twilight quickly stood up. "Sorry everyone, but I should go; we'll have to celebrate some other night," Twilight said as she walked toward the door. Shining looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was getting rather late. "Sorry everyone; Cadence and I should be going as well," he said he helped his pregnant wife to her hooves. The two left and Dazzle and Orion were finally alone with their baby. Dazzle scooted closer to her husband. He held her close and ran his hoof through her mane. "I love you so much," Orion said. "I love you, too; and thank you for giving us our little filly," Dazzle said as she held Aurora. A small rumble was heard from Aurora's belly. "Sounds like someone is hungry." Orion said. "Would you feed her? I'm sore," Dazzle said with a giggle. Orion simply rolled his eyes. Dazzle lifted up a small blanket and placed it over Aurora as she fed her. The filly made little sucking noise as she nursed. "Doesn't that hurt?" Orion asked. "Believe me, it hurts a lot more when she doesn't feed." Dazzle said as she fed her baby. Later that night Dazzle, Orion and Aurora slept in bed. Orion held Dazzle and she was snuggling her foal. Aurora began to scream. The screams instantly awoke Orion and Dazzle. "Will you take this one?" Dazzle said muffled by the pillow. "Ugh, sure," Orion said as he got out of bed and picked up his daughter. He slowly rocked her and patted her back. Aurora burped and stopped crying. Orion became extremely proud of his accomplishment. "See babe, it's that simple." Orion said. "Oh you're the man," Dazzle said. Aurora suddenly vomited everywhere and Orion was covered in his daughter’s puke. "Sure glad I didn't take this one," Dazzle said with a giggle. "Hey, I got the easy one; it may have come out the front, but I bet it's coming out the back your turn," Orion said with a laugh.
