Spike was waiting for Twilight to come home, he decided to stay home and watch the library, when Twilight came in through the door with Trixie in the stroller Spike greeted them. "Hey Twilight." he said then he looked down at Trixie and noticed she was covered in something, he scooped up a little of the goop on Trixie's nose with a finger and licked it. "Mmm, frosting."
Twilight giggled. "Yeah she kinda got messy today so she's going to need a bath."
"Hey, I dun need a bath." Trixie retorted, she maybe a baby but she wasn't going to be treated like one more than she already has, even if she did need a bath.
Twilight levitated Trixie out of the stroller and put her on her back. "Yes you do, I'm not having a foal run around covered in frosting like some walking cupcake." she said flatly then went upstairs to her bathroom, she put Trixie on top of the toilet and started the bath she felt the water for if it was too cold or hot and when she was satisfied she picked Trixie up and lowered her into the tube.
Trixie kicked her hooves in the air defiance. "No dun wanna take a bath, I'm not a baby!" she complained.
Then Twilight realized what she was complaining. "Aww, Trixie, just cause I'm giving you a bath doesn't make you a baby." she comforted.
Trixie looked at her. "It doesn't?" she asked.
Twilight shook her head. "No it doesn't, even though you're a foal now you still have part of your adult mind and can still think, so your not all baby and even when you do act like one it's still okay cause you're still you, alright." she replied.
Trixie nodded supposing that made sense. "But do you have to give me a bath, I mean couwdn't I take it mysewf?" she asked.
"No I want to make sure you're clean, you got that frosting all in your mane," she said. "and besides that's the one rule you should never break: Leaving a baby alone in the bathroom, what would happen if you got hurt or worse, I would be devastated.
Trixie was surprised at Twilight's concern for her she cared about her and that meant a lot considering how many ponies don't like her now. "Well otay I guess I can let you give me a bath then." she said willing to co-operate now.
Twilight smiled and lowered Trixie into the water, she then got the non-tear shampoo and applied some to Trixie's mane and started gently rubbing it in, Trixie felt her rub the shampoo into her mane and it felt good and relaxing when she was done rubbing it in she levitated the scrubber over and started to scrub the rest of Trixie's body she started from her back and went down around her belly witch made Trixie giggle a bit.
Then she lifted up Trixie's rear and started scrubbing her bottom then she started washing out Trixie's tail and when she was done rinsed the rest of the soap sudes out and lifted Trixie out of the path, she then dried Trixie off with a towel combed out her mane, she was once again clean and her mane was sparkling.
"Okay, now it's time for bed Trixie." Twilight said
"Aww, but I'm not tiwed." Trixie protested then was picked up into Twilight's magic.
"Nope it's getting late and your body needs sleep, besides you'll feel tired eventually." Twilight retorted and yes that's exactly what's happening to Trixie right now for she was now rubbing her eyes and yawning. "See? I told you so." she giggled.
Twilight then went back into her room with Spike holding a pair of blue fleece footed pajamas with a big star in the middle of the front. "I thought Trixie could use these for tonight it's kinda cold and should be kept warm." he said.
Twilight nodded, "Yes, thank you Spike." she said then took the pajamas into her magic and laid Trixie down on the floor and started putting them on her.
Trixie was starting to get tired faster than she thought she would and couldn't protest to being put into the pajamas if she wanted to but when Twilight was done putting the Pj's on the thought of protest quickly disappeared, Trixie felt so soft and warm in the new garment she didn't feel like ever taking them off.
Twilight picked Trixie up into her hooves and started rocking her, the motion of being rocked in Twilight's arms was getting to Trixie and she fell asleep. Twilight went over to the crib in her room and lowered Trixie into it, she watched as Trixie slept peacefully, Twilight smiled and felt content she has never felt this way before it was a good feeling the feeling of being a mother.
Twilight bent down and gave Trixie a kiss on the head then she looked at Spike who had already went to bed sleeping in his basket, Twilight rolled her eyes and went to sleep herself.

Later in the foal's dream, she was dreaming that she was being chased by a ursa minor and was catching up to her she ran as fast as she could but couldn't get away, she kept running until she hit a wall, she turned around to see the ursa right over her he lowered his jaw full of teeth and she screamed before being eaten.
Twilight woke up from her sleep by the screams of a foal, she got up and went over to the crib and saw Trixie crying and yelling, Twilight picked her up and cooed. "Aww, it's okay Trixie, what's wrong?" she asked guessing it was probably a bad dream.
Trixie cried. "I-I had a nightmawe!"
Twilight patted her on the back and went over to her bed and sat down. "It's okay, whatever it was I promise I'll protect you okay, it's okay," she said.
Trixie's crying stopped and she looked at Twilight. "Weally?" she asked.
Twilight smiled. "Of course I will," she replied then hugged Trixie and she returned the hug. "would you like to sleep with me in case you have another nightmare?" Twilight asked.
Trixie nodded and then they laid down on Twilight's bed and sleep quickly took them both.
Trixie was once again trapped by the ursa but this time Twilight appeared in front of her and blasted the ursa to kingdom come she then turned around and picked Trixie up into a hug and she was no longer afraid.
