Chapter 5 – sleep never comes
As you walk past the front door a gust of wind and a loud voice stops your movement. You look to the pony that has her shelf pressed up against the door, "Um...can we lock your door?"
Rainbow smiles innocently as she continues, "I might have told Pinkie."
You stare at her for a second and why is th..-
Before you even have the moment to think the door behind Rainbow flies open to the excited pink fluff ball, "Twilight! IheadyouhadthebabyandIwasntthere!I'msososososososososorry!!!"
Pinkie's eyes tear up as she sets her backside on the ground waiting for Twilight to answer.
Twilight gives a little giggle as she talk, "It's ok Pinkie, and there was no way you could have know."
The overly too excited smile that usually sets on Pinkies face returns as she just up from the ground with a gasp, "Thankyou!" She hops from the ground and in mid air somehow darts towards Twilight's side where Violet rest in her hold.
"And what's your name little one?" Pinkie's happy face stares at the baby like O face of Violet.
Twilight backs up a little as she talks in a proud happy voice, "Her name is Violet Sparkles."
You smile to the full name as you watch Pinkie.
The ball of joy places a party hat on Violet from what seems like nowhere and puts a party blower in her own mouth, "Happy birthday Violet, your aunty Pinkie pie will always be here to make sure you have a great and sunny day!"
Pinkie reaches for Violet but Twilight moves away, "Um, Pinkie could you calm down a little if you want to hold her?"
Pinkie smiles as she sits back down on the floor, "Ok."
Your eyes widen a little as you watch Twilight pass Violet to the manic Pinkie, "Uh, shouldn't Vio...-"
Before you can complete your sentence Pinkie, who now hold Violet rolls onto her back and has Violet in the air above her as she talks in a baby voice, "Whose a good unicorn? Who’s a good unicorn?"
Twilight holds her hoof out to Pinkie now slightly regretting her choice, "Now Pinkie doesn’t move too much."
Rainbow stands next to you as she nudges and whispers to you, "ha ha, if she freaks out about Pinkie she would do a flip higher than me if she knew I fly her of the ground."
You nod your head as you whisper back, "Ya so don't say anything."
She has a devilish smile as she nods. But you don't notice it as you focus on Pinkie as she keeps bringing Violet down to her face then back up into the air, "Upanddownupanddownupanddown."
Twilight again shows a little concern as she talks, "Pinkie she’s not Pound Cake or Pumpkin, she was just born."
Pinkie blows at Twilight as she answer back, "Duh, I know that."
Violet wiggles her tiny legs to Pinkie as she continues to mess around with her.
Twilight's concern starts to fade a little at the sight of Violet's smiling face, "ok Pinkie."
Pinkie blows a raspberry at Violet every time she comes down to her face. Violet's smile grows bigger and her mouth beings to open. You and Twilight look on with a smile as you wait for the little filly's laugh.
But the sound that follows this motion is not something either one of you expected. Violet still has a big smile and wiggles her legs happily but the sound now echoing from her is a high pitched almost wheezing sound.
Pinkie's ears perk up as she starts to slow down the up and down play.
Violet continues to wezz happily as Pinkie begins to sit up.
Pinkie wiggles a hoof in front of Violets mouth as she talks in a happy voice, "You laugh like Mr. Waddle."
Rainbow holds her hoof out as she talks, "I-is that normal?"
Pinkie looks to Twilight with a straight face as she continues to hold Violet.
Twilight is silent for a moment but then shakes her head, "I think we need to give somepony a nap."
You nod as you shift your eyes from the little purple filly to the window, the sky looks amber and at the sight you feel your body's hidden exhaustion start to bubble up from your body as you yawn.
Twilight grabs hold of Violet as she pulls her into her grasp, "...Don't you Violet?"
Violets eyes are half open and she gives a tiny yawn to Twilight.
Pinkie gives a loud awwww as she looks on.
You smile to her as you think, you didn't do that for me.
Twilight looks up from the filly as she talks, "Could you girls not tell anypony for a few days, I don't want too many ponies stopping by until we can get settled in."
Pinkie stands up with a smile, "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my....Twilight do you want a cupcake?" She smiles as she waits for her answer.
Twilight shakes her head as she talks, "I don't think so, and I want to try to get rid of this baby fat."
You smile as you look over her still slightly puffed out sides, "I don't mind it."
She turns to you with a little blush, "Well I do."
Rainbow taps her hoof to her mouth as she talks, "So you don't want anypony stopping by so that you can get a schedule for Violet right?"
Twilight nods her head.
Rainbow lets out a laugh as she points to Violet, "You hear that Violet? You get to be an egghead."
Twilight smirks to her as she talks, "Oh Rainbow, the new Darning Doo is on the last shelve third row."
Rainbow blinks her comment out as she slowly walks over to the other room, "Not that there is anything wrong with that Violet."
You watch as Rainbow casual walks to the book and quickly tuck it under her wing.
Pinkie darts over to her as she wraps her hooves around her, "Come on Dashy, these ponies need time alone."
You wave to Rainbow as Pinkie drags her to the door, "Bye...Dashy."
Rainbow gives an annoyed groan as she is pulled through the door.
As the door closes behind them you look back to Twilight who has started up the stairs. You pick your pace up as you catch up beside her.
You both give a silent smile to each other as you enter your room. You give a yawn as you make your way to the bed. Twilight walks to the corner of the room where a gold and white crib sits. You watch as she slowly lowers the light purple filly into the bed. Twilight pulls a small pink blanket over her and kisses Violets forehead.
You smile as climb into the bed. You hold yourself away for a few moments as you watch Twilight start to leave the room, "You're not going to sleep?"
Twilight looks back to you as she stops at the threshold of the door, "I have been asleep almost all day."
You smile to her as you move over, "Then why get up?"
She looks at the open spot in the bed as turns back to the room.

Your eyes stare up at the ceiling in the dark room, you woke up a few minutes ago but Twilight lays to up against you for you to move anywhere...which is fine with you anyways, you may be awake but your still too tired to want to move. You shift your eyes to her dark mane in the moonlit room as you think about the last two days. You give a light chuckle to yourself as you shift in the warm bed, these last few days have felt like two weeks.
Twilight shifts her head next you as she looks up at you in a low voice, "You ok?"
You smile at her question as you think it over, am I ok? For the last few months that was your question to her. You give her a light kiss as you talk, "I'm fine."
She nods and closes her eyes again. You watch her for a few moments before you shift your eyes to the corner of the room where the gold and white crib sits. Even in the dimly light room you can see the light purple filly's head poking up from the top over the covers. You hold your sight to her for a few minutes before you rest you head back on the soft pillow. You whisper to yourself as you do this, "Welcome home Violet."
