Walking up to Sweet Apple Acres, the three grown mares were discussing Rainbow Dash's "mother skills" while Spike played with Scootaloo between Twilights back and Rainbows' head.

"Rainbow Dash I never saw you as a mother." Twilight said as they walked along the path.

"Twilight I never planned on being a mother soon you know?" Rainbow responded at the unicorn mare.

"Well maybe you could get married soon so you can have someone help you." Pinkie Pie suggested.

"Yeah Pinkie. Let me get right on that." Dash replied sarcastically.

Spike suddenly yelped out on pain. Turning their heads, Scootaloo had tried to pull on Spikes' tale real hard. The tale stretched until it snapped back and knocked Spike off of Twilights' back.

"Maybe I could look into it." Rainbow Dash said, this time actually sounding like she gave interest. 

They finally got to the farm. Their eyes fell upon Applejack playing around with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. Looking up she saw the three mare, Dragon, and baby approaching the farm.

"Howdy ya'll." She called to them. She stood up and trotted over to them. 

"Hey Applejack. I thought about introducing Scootaloo to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle." Rainbow Dash said as she lowered Scootaloo to the ground.

"Well shoot I was gonna see if Fluttershy could tell you about today but since ya'll are here." Applejack said to her happily. She was excited to see Scootaloo meet the others.

Scootaloo crawled over to the other babies. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle stopped what they were doing and looked at the newcomer. Scootaloo then stopped and sat on her flank and watched the two. Apple Bloom crawled over to her and began mumbling baby nonsense. Whatever she said, Scootaloo seemed to have understood what she was saying since she began to wave her hooves in the air for some reason. Apple Bloom then bopped her hoof on Scootaloo's nose.





It was all day playing with the tiny toddlers. From trying to teach them their names,feeding them, letting them crawl all over a pony (the greatest form of anti-depressant), and even letting them sip non-alcoholic cider. Rainbow Dash had a permanent smile on her face. Twilight remembered the time she was this little and her brother did stuff like this at the park. Pinkie had been calm with the little ones despite her hyperactive nature. Applejack was used to this since she watched Sweetie Belle with Apple Bloom but she had even more fun with Scootaloo. Spike still had fun but the babies used his spines as a chew toy much to his dismay. 

The sun was setting by the time Rarity came for Sweetie Belle (who reminded Rainbow Dash about the blanket), Apple Bloom was ready for her nap, Spike was tired, and Rainbow Dash remembered that she needed to pick baby food from Fluttershy.

"I think I need to get going." She said as Scootaloo yawned.

"Well if you ever need a baby sitter-"

"Or another." Pinkie interrupted as she was leaving.

"You could always leave her here." Applejack finished.

"I think I'll do that if there is clear skies scheduled." Rainbow said as she picked up Scootaloo and put her on her back.

"Welp see ya round Dash." Applejack said as Rainbow lifted off the ground. Before she could take off, Applejack called to Dash in a panic.

"Rainbow! Scootaloo might fall off on your back!"

"Relax Applejack. Scootaloo knows to hold on tight." She reassured.

Before Applejack could protest, Dash took off into the orange sky. 

Rainbow Dash flew with the wind blowing through her mane. She could feel her mane become flat. It didn't take anypony who saw Scootaloo to realize that she was snuggling into her mane.

Quickly arriving at Fluttershys' Rainbow Dash simply wanted to get the food and go. But Fluttershy had to teach about how to feed a baby with the 'here comes the choo choo train' trick. After the demo, Scootaloo was already fed. Rainbow Dash quickly collected the food, put Scootaloo on her back and took off.

Arriving at her home, Rainbow Dash let Scootaloo out of her mane and onto the floor. She smelled a scent of spice coming from Scootaloo. 

"Bath Time."




Rainbow Dash turned the nozzles off on the bath tub and mixed the cold and warm water around to make sure it was evenly heated. Adding more cold water to make it twenty percent cooler, she called to Scootaloo for her bath. Scootaloo crawled in with a confused look on her face.

Rainbow Dash bent down and leaned her head towards Scootaloo. Sniffing, she could still smell the scent of rainbows on her. Picking her up and placing her into the bath tub, Rainbow watched as Scootaloo began to splash around and play. After a while, Rainbow began to wash her coat and mane to wash out the rainbow scent. Dash kept wiping away shampoo to make sure none of it would get in Scootaloos' eyes.

After washing and rinsing her, Rainbow Dash pulled her out of the tub. Naturally,Scootaloo began to shake herself dry. Her wings kept on buzzing after she was finished. Her coat was fluffy and water droplets covered the mirror. Rainbow didn't bother with a towel. Pegasi were known for drying themselves off naturally. Dash picked her up and carried her out to the living room. 

Rainbow Dash held Scootaloo and rocked her back and forth. Scootaloo was climbing up to get closer to her head. 

"Mama."

Rainbow Dash's heart fluttered at that word. She always found it adorable when Scootaloo spoke. But being called mama was a different thing for her. It let her know that she had somepony in her life. Somepony who would always depend on her. Somepony for her to love.

Rainbow Dash held Scootaloo against her. Leaning down, she kissed her on the forehead. Scootaloo snuggled closer and her wings buzzed. She then leaned closer as Scootaloo was closing her eyes and whispered into her tiny ear.

"Daughter."
