//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: A new day, a new diaper // Story: The sons of Cadence // by Sky Hooves //------------------------------// Chapter 2: A new Day, a new Diaper Night and I awake in our crib with the sunrise. We yawn and start looking around. I was feeling something wet around my abdomen and look down. I sigh by the look on the soaked diaper around my crotch and say, "Nice. Wiww dis be my new life? Wet diapew in da mowning?" I look over to Night Mist who now notices his wet diaper too. He looks up to me and asks, "Do you tink we shouwd caww for mama?" "You are really fwine cawwing Cadewnce mama. But I tink we can't do mwuch about it wight now," I say. In this moment, the door swings open and the Alicorn of love enters the room. Followed by her husband with a big pack in his magical grip. Cadence comes to our crib and looks down at us with this lovely smile that only a mother can have. "Are my little baby boys awake and ready for there first day in their new home?" she asks sweetly and nuzzles the top of each of our heads. We both start to giggle and reach with our little hoofs to her. She leans down more and we both give her a hug around her long snout. If we were supposed to stay as little foals we should at least enjoy it and make a mare happy. As we stayed in this hugfest for a little while, Cadence starts to sniffle and then looks at us and asks with a fake serious face, "Have some foals used their diapers? I think they have. Lets put you both in something clean and dry." She levitates us out of the crib and over to the changing table where Shining Armor put a pack of diapers away. Cadence looks at her husband and levitates me in front of him and says, "I think it's going to be faster when you help me with our sons." Shining looks a bit unsure about this and is about to protest, but his wife is faster and says, "And don't even think about any excuses. You fought Sombra and Windigos. So don't tell me you are affright about a diaper change at your own son." Shining sighs defeated and takes me gently in his magical grip. My little wings flapped and I was giggling as the aura tickles me. Shining smiles at this and lays me down on the soft mattress on the changing table. I could see he was unsure about this whole changing thing. ... I know exactly what daddy was feeling. Oh Celestia. Now I'm start to think of them as my parents too. The opening of the diaper went well. Daddy was a little clumsy with cleaning with the wipes, but after a little help from mommy he did it great. The powdering next, is funny. Daddy takes too much powder, sneezes and covers my whole body in white. With my blue mane still blue, I look a bit like him, aside from the fact he was unicorn and I was pegasus. I couldn't help but laugh as I saw daddy cover mommy with the white powder, too. After a fast cleaning with the wipes (again) and with the right amount of powder (after a second accident) comes the diaper flowing to me. Daddy gently takes my tail through the hole in the back of the diaper and lead the front side through my legs and placed it on my little belly. After he attaches the adhesive strip from the sides on the front area from the Diaper, daddy looks me over and makes sure, everything was fitting alright. He takes me again in his magical grip and levitated me to mommy who was lying on a thick blanket in the room and watching Night Mist playing with some of the toys. Daddy places me beside Night Mist and then lays himself beside mommy and watches us play. "I think you are a wonderful daddy," says Cadence to her husband. Shining looks over to his wife and a little smile comes to his lips. "Thanks. But I'm still unsure if we did the right thing. I mean, there was not even a letter in the basket. We know nothing about this foals or where they come from." He sighed and then continues, "I just don't want it to be that, someday, their parents are standing before our door and saying, their foals where foalnapped and they where looking everywhere for them. I know it would break your heart to give them away. Even though we had them for just two days, you grew very close to them and they to you." In this moment, Night Mist and I roll a ball to Shinings hoofs. He Looks at the ball, then at us. We were sitting there with big smiles and looking hopefully to him. He lightly kicks the ball to us and we catch it with our own little hoofs. We started to giggle and another smile comes to Shinings lips. Cadance sees it and nuzzles him on his cheek before saying, "I now your biggest fear is not that they could be taken from us. You fear you could be a bad father. You fear you could make a mistake like the one at our wedding when Chrysalis captured me and brainwashed you. You fear you could make a mistake like you did with Twilight." Shining had now tears in his eyes as he remembered the horrible thing he says to his Sister. Cadance take him in an embrace and hold him as silent tears flow done his cheeks. Night Mist and I hear what they are talking about. We look at each other and decide in silence, we had to do something. We crawl over to daddy and hug his front legs. He looks down to us with a bit of confused look as he sees us clinging to his legs. Cadence had a proud smile on her lips. We look up at him and saying, with a BIG smile on the face, in unison "Dada!" Shining looks in his wife's eyes to make sure he really had heard what we had called him. A smiling nod from his wife was all he needed to clarify he was not dreaming. The foals, no longer then two days had been with them, had called him Daddy. He looks back at us on his legs with a happy smile. He then cradles us in his hooves and gives everyone of us a kiss on the top of our heads and says, "My little boys. A stallion can really be proud to be your daddy. And I promise you both, I will give my best to be the B.D.E!" "B.D.E?", asks Cadance with a raised eyebrow and me and Night Mist tilt our heads, confused at the abbreviation. "Best Daddy Ever.", explained Shining. We all share a good giggle and laugh at this. But something interrupts the moment. Two rumbling tummies. Mommy and Daddy look down at us and we get a little blush at this. Cadance takes us in her Magic and levitates us in front of her Face. "I'm very sorry. I forgot completely about your breakfast. Come here, my little boys. Mommy has nice, warm milk for her little babies." She spread one of her wings and levitated us under it. She scoots us gently to her hind legs where two nipples waited for us. Night Mist was the first how suckle on the nipple to get his milk after showing some hesitance. I was a bit more hesitant but I also knew, as well as Night Mist, that as babies we can't eat solid food and need breastmilk. I gulp and take the nipple in my mouth and begin to suckle. I was rewarded with nice, warm milk filling my mouth. It tastes REALLY good. I suckle more and after a few moments it was feeling natural to suckle and drink the milk. Cad... Mommys wing was wraps around us and held us beneath it, keeping us warm. It was one of the best feelings we ever felt. 'Maybe it's really not so bad to be a foal' we thought simultaneously.
