Chapter 6 – fun and games
The silence is broken as Night Light holds his hoof to the empty seat in front of him, "Would you take a seat?"
You listen to his extremely calm voice as you hesitate for a moment to walk forward. But you do as you bring yourself to your seat and stare back at the stern looking stallion.
"Did you have a good trip?"
You give a quick low answer still not really in the mood to talk, “ya...”
Night Light gives a smiling nod as he talks, "Good."
You copy his motion as you try to lighten yourself up.
"So what are you going to be doing now?" His smile is brought to an end as his next question hits against you.
You try to think over what he means before you talk,, "I'm going to carry this bag up to Twilight's room?" You give a smile hoping that your answer can be a simple end to this not wanted awkward conversation.
Night Light lets out a light chuckle as he lowers his top hooves, "I mean what are you and Twilight going to do now hm?"
Before you can’t answer his question the silent white stallion buts in, "What we mean is what are your future intentions?"
You stare at the pony for a moment, "Uh..."
But the stallion's patience runs thin to your mindless expelling of air as he talks again, "I told you one time before that if you did anything to hurt my baby sister that I would find out right?"
You nod your head as you look over his sharpening eyes, "Yes Shining?"
Night Light squints at your answer as he sits more towards you in his seat, "How do you know his name? No pony has said it yet, I thought you had some kind of memory loss?"
You stare at the stallion as you think over his question, really? Because Twilight could not have told me outside or before just now? You smirk as you answer him, "Uh Twilight said it."
Shining holds his hoof out to you as his voice picks up a little, "If I find out that you are playing some game to mess with Twilight I..-"
You can’t help but give a sarcastic laugh as you move the bag onto your lap, “ya its a fun game to lose your memories. You should try it sometime.”
Shining stomps his hoof on the ground as he talks down to you, “My sister is not some mare you can just mess with.”
Night Light cockes an eye brow to your change in attitude as he holds his hoof to the white stallion, "If you're playing some joke on my little girl you had better just tell me now...or i’ll make you tell me.”
You shake your head at his comment as you think it over, "Why would I pretend to not be able to remember anything?"
Night Light shrugs as his voice takes on a poking annoyance, "I don't know why are you pretending to be a pony?"
You hold your building annoyance back as you think over your last magic accent, there's no way i'm going to char myself over this crap... You stand from the seat as you put the bag over yourself, giving a little slack to your still raw feeling leg.
Shinings voice is fast as he watches you move, "We're not done, where do you think your going?"
You give another chuckle as you shift your eyes from the stallions no longer wanting to stay in the room, "What do you want hu?" Your voice strengthens but you hold your emotions back as you talk, “...I’m not in the mood to talk so can we just get this over with?”
Night Light taps his hooves together as his horn glows a low blue, "I just want what's best for my daughter."
The bag around you slowly comes off and is floated to the nearby couch as Night Light gives a sigh and continued talking in a lower voice, "I want you to do what's right ok?"
You blink at him as you wait for him to continue.
His eyes are a little shifty and the slight smile across his face bring a weird sense of calmness to you as you take your seat again.

(across town)
Twilight rubs her free hoof over head head as she tries to answer Cadence's question, "...I told you I didn't know when I was pregnant."
Twilight gives a huff as brings her hoof back down to the little filly in her lap who continues to bang her hoofs into the unguarded salad on the table. "Violet, don't play with your food."
The little filly looks up from her mothers lap with a smile as she continues to mash up the fresh salad laying in front of her.
The pink mare holds her eyes to the little filly as she lets out a low aww, "Shinning says it wouldn't be smart to try for a foal...not with all the things celestia wants us to do." Cadence brings her hoof up to Twilight as she talks, "Ever since that changeling attack Celestia has had us all over equestria making sure the security is in place in the event something like that happens again."
Her horn glows a light blue as her tea cup is floated from the table, "I mean really when would changelings ever come into a city or town again?"
Twilight gives a friendly smile as she silently moves her hoof around Violet a little tighter.
Cadence releases her cup as she looks to twilight with another comment again, "What's the best way to get pregnant?"
Velvet finally speaks up as she takes her hooves from her head, "Oh please Cadence honey...I need time for this ok?" The white mare closes her eyes and brings her hooves back to her head as she tries to calm herself down from all of the questions Cadence has been asking.
Twilight bushes Violet's mane a little as she looks to the flustered mare, "Mom what did you want to talk about?"
Velvet opens her eyes with a sigh as she looks over her daughter, "...Nothing you don't already have handled." Her sweet smile is brought to an end as Cadence again speaks up.
"Twilight what do you think would be the best way to..."
Velvet gives a loud sigh as she brings her head to rest on the table.

(About an hour later)
"...Ok here they come." Shining gallops away from the window as he takes his spot behind you.
As his words hit you a nervousness starts to fall over you as you realize what you're about to do. You feel your body starting to shake a little as you wait facing the hallway like you agreed to...the sound of the door slowly opening brings your steady heart to a gallop as you wet your lips to what you're going to say.
The three mares enter the room with a giggly tone but they quickly lose it a little as there eyes focused on your shifty body, even Violet seems to have a baby claimed O face to your stance.
You on the other hoof are not adjusting your eyes from the lavender mare as you start your voice with a cracky teen like tone, "Um Twilight...."
She blinks at your tone a little confused as she waits for you to stammer out your words.
Your body matches your shaky words as you expel your thoughts”will you marry me?"
Her mouth hangs open with a completely shocked expression.
You swallow hard as you stare your shaky eyes waiting for her response.
Twilight gives a sweet smile as her voice exits her mouth, "No."
What? You blink your eyes to her answer with your mouth hanging open. You don't need to say anything as Shining and Night Light both show the same awestruck confusion, "What?"
Twilight gives a giggle as she lowers the filly down to her wiggling hooves, "Sorry dad, but I still have an option to who I want to marry."
Night Light's eyes widen as he looks at Velvet while his hoof points at Twilight, "Velvet?!"
The white mare gives a silent smile as she motioned her head back to Twilight.
With a brush of the little filly's mane at her legs she smiles back to you, "I can't marry somepony who doesn't know why he’s getting married."
You close your mouth as you give a slow nod to her comment with a low voice, "ok Twilight..." The mixture of feelings in you makes your words almost sound sad even though you still feel slightly relieved at not having a forced marriage...but at the same time you feel disheartened at the fact that she turned you down. Good reason or not the mother of your child just straight up said no to you with a smile.
Night Light still holds his hoof to Twilight as he looks over her in defeat, "But...But...."
Velvet walks in front of Twilight as she leads her defeated husband out of the room, "Just come sit down honey."
Shining now steps in for him as he talks, "But Cadence even you said that they....-"
The pink unicorn taps her hoof to her mouth as she gives a sly smile, "What do you think Twilight does Amethyst sound like a good filly name?"
Twilight gives a giggle as she plays along with the pony, "Oh I think that sounds like a great name."
Shining’s eyes almost shrink into himself as he stutters, "Your not...are you?"
Cadence gives a smile as she shakes her head, "But we need to talk."
Shining gives a sigh of relief as he walks over to the mare. As he does this Twilight scoops the little filly up as she walks over to you, "Come on."
You nod your head with a smile as you look over the smiling filly who stares up at you. Before you follow after Twilight up the stairs you pick the satchel bag off the couch with your mouth.
Twilight waits at the top of the stairs as you walk up to her, Shining and Cadence's conversation still rings through the house but you slightly ignore it as you look over Twilight's still sweet smiling face. You give a smirk as you walk past her into her room.
You flop the bag onto the bed as she walks over to you and sets Violet on the same bed next to the bag.
Violet bangs her hooves on the purple bag she sits next to as Twilight looks over your searching of the bag, “What are you doing?”
You stop your motion as you look at the little fillies happy smile each time her hooves hit the bag making your searching inside a little harder. You hold the stare to the filly as you direct your voice to the mare behind you, “...Remembering.”
You don't turn to see her reaction as you pull the dusty book out of the bag, you read the title as you wipe it off a little, The encyclopedia of Sombrauim by Star swirl the bearded.
As you sit yourself on the bed you finally get a glimpse of her sweet lowered eyed smile.
You both bring your heads to the door as you hear the clanging of hooves up the stairs. The blue stallion stops at the threshold as he holds his hoof out. But he pauses for a moment as he looks over the book in your hooves, “You two are coming to dinner with us tonight got that? You're not going to stay in this house alone.”
Twilight and you give a little laugh to his comment.
He nods his head like he accomplished something small. You think over his comment as you look back down to the book you didn't win the war but you won a battle.
Twilight sits beside you as she pulls Violet closer to her, “Ok Violet lets look over this book hm?”
You smile a little as you pass the book to Twilight's extending hoof.
