Rarity looked up at the cloud covered sky as her and her family walked to their home. Spike walked with a small blush on his face watching the unicorn as she held his right arm tight to her body. Their hands were intertwined and her delicate thumb was making small circles on the back of his sharp nailed hand.
"Shame. Today could have been glorious." Rarity looked back to where she was going still holding tight to her forgetful husband.
"Yeah the pegasi have the worst timing." Gem shoved his hands in his light purple skinny jean pockets. "Or it's just Northern Lights trying to give me a hard time like usual." He kicked a rock and sighed. "I hate stormy cloudy days."
"Well, Gem dear if it makes you feel any better there doesn't call for a storm today." Rarity replied trying to make her son's attitude lighten. "Plus, we'll be indoors all day anyway, and tomorrow will be bright and sunny." Carousel Boutique had just come into view as the family walked up. Spike was unsure about the girly appearance of the boutique and wondered why he had to live there with the two.
Rarity pulled her key out of her black leather purse and unlocked the door letting Spike and Gem inside. "This is where we live, and where I work." She explained to Spike who looked more than confused about the whole situation. "It is called Carousel Boutique if you couldn't tell how the exterior is designed." Rarity laughed a little feeling more awkward than usual. She held the door open for Gem and Spike to walk in, but smiled lightly when The adult dragon-blood grabbed the side of the door for her to enter.
"What a gentleman. Thank you." Rarity strutted her way inside feeling pleased that even after her husband lost his memory he still knew how to be a gentlemen.
Spike nodded as he gingerly closed the door behind him. He took in his new home, or old home, he couldn't remember right this instant, but it was a sight to see. From ceiling to floor it was purple and pink, though they were light shades it still made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
Spike still felt unsure about all of this. "Excuse me?" He tried to get the unicorns attention.
"Hmm?" She turned to face him and smiled. "Yes?" Her voice was smooth and strangely calming.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you to me?" He didn't like how his question came out and internally winced. Rarity continued smiling as she walked up to the dragon holding up his left hand with hers. The answer was obvious as he could see they were both wearing rings on their left ring finger indicating they were married.
Spike blushed a little. "I-I'm sorry I just-"
"It's fine, darling." She kissed his cheek and let go of his hand. "Oh, and by the way Gem is our son." She smiled and looked over at the kirin who was currently sitting on the small runway in the middle of the shop cutting gemstones into perfect shapes.
"What time is it?" Gem asked still using his natural blue nails to cut away at the stones.
Rarity put her hands on her hips. "3:30 why?" She asked knowing the answer and knowing what her response is going to be.
Gem looked up at his mother who was lightly glaring at him. He smiled sheepishly, "Nothing, never mind." He quickly said as he looked back down at his small project. Rarity lightly smiled and sat down next to Gem then patting the spot next to her for Spike. The dragon-blood tentatively sat down next to his wife. He felt a warmth being next to her that he couldn't explain, like he remembered her but at the same time he didn't. It was all so confusing, and strange.
"Dad, what do we usually have for dinner on Tuesdays?" Gem quizzed staring at his father.
"Uhh..." Spike's mind reeled looking for the answer before quietly and uncertainly saying in a form of a question, "There's no set schedule?"
Gem smiled, "Good. Now I'm starved so what's for dinner?"
Rarity frowned, "Gemstone. Don't be so rude, and it's not even evening yet. You can wait."
The kirin pouted. "I'm not being rude I'm being practical. He should know these things." Both Rarity and Gem turned to Spike who only shrugged. Was he supposed to say something? Why were they both looking at him like that? So many questions soared through his brain giving him a headache. He lightly rubbed his temples as Rarity and Gem began to argue once more.
"Ladies please! You're both pretty. Now, can we go at least decide what we're eating because I'm with the kid. I'm a bit hungry too." Spike's face was one of annoyance as the two settled down and looked at him.
The mixed-blood shot up, "Please." He stated to his father who was now on his feet as well. Spike nodded at Gem as he hopped off the stage and hurried upstairs to the house part of the boutique. Spike politely held out his hand to Rarity and she gladly accepted it.
"We've missed you so much." She leaned against her husband smiling. Spike slowly and cautiously wrapped his arms around her and, lightly nuzzled her with his cheek. She smelled so good, like vanilla. He took in a deep breath enjoying her sent. It felt so good to have that familiar warmth pressed against him. His heart felt swollen as he continued to nuzzle her. She giggled lightly looking up at him. Her eyes were a beautiful blue that shown like sapphires.
The door that lead to the stairs swung open, "Eww." Gem faked gagging himself as he stuck his forked tongue out and pointed in his mouth. "Can we please go get food now?" He complained folding his arms over his dress shirted, black blazer chest.
"Yes, Gem we can go get food now." Rarity's tone had a bit of annoyance in it as she pulled away from her husband. Though she knew Gem was joking and didn't really mind his parents showing affection, but that didn't mean she had to tolerate it. She took Spike's hand in hers and headed upstairs in search of food for her famished family.
