//------------------------------// // Ch.8 // Story: My Precious Baby // by Super-Stallion //------------------------------// I was walking through the darkness of my dreams again wondering around endlessly. Till I see my little version self in front of me and I walk up to him and smiled, "Hey little me how are you doing?" little me shook his head, "Sowwy mister but I'm not you I'm Mama's baby." he said. "Mama's baby...wait are you Mrs. Breeze baby!? How did you get here!?" I asked. "I came to ask you if you could stay my Mama's new baby?" he asked with innocent eyes. "What no way I cant do that I have my own life to think about!" I retorted. "Pwease I beg you! evew sense I died aftew Dada, Mommy's been so sad you've should have seen her." I think about all those times I saw Breeze and that look in her eyes and I sighed, "I think I know what you mean sometimes when I look in her eyes I could tell she's in a lot of pain." I replied. "Pwease, pwease don't weave my Mama awone, I couldn't do anything to stop myself from leaving her but I know if you stay with her she can be happy again." the foal said looking up at me. I look at those pleading eyes and I groan, "Err I don't know kid your asking a lot from me, I mean your telling me to give up my own life for her." "Well...you wuve her don't you? You even get that fuzzy feewing in your heart that's tewwing you that my Mama is-" "NO!" I yell interrupting the foal and making him flinch, "She is not my Mother my Mom died of sickness a long time ago and nopony can EVER take her place!!" I looked at him with an angrily scowl but soon that was a mistake for he stared crying and I winced. Darn it I forgot I was talking to a foal, quickly scooping him up and tried my best to calm him down, "Hey I'm sorry I got angry, please stop crying please." The foals crying then lowered down to a sniffle and he looks at me, "Youw mean dun yell wike that!" he complained. "Yeah I'm sorry but...I guess I just miss my Mom even after all these years." I said sadly. "Yeah I undewstand your Mama does seem wike a nice pony." "Yeah she-wait WHAT!" I said bewildered by what he just said, "You've seen my Mom!?" He nodded and I lifted him up to be face to face with him, "Where! Where is she?! tell me now!?!" "I can't." "Why not!!?" "Cause you about to wake up." **** I shot up from the pillow I was laying on and quickly looked around the room in dismay, "No, no, no!" I screamed laying down and putting the pillow over my head, "I have to go back to sweep I have to know where my Mama is, go back to sweep! GO BACK TO SWEEP!!" The door to the nursery burst open and Breeze ran in and came to the crib looking down at me. I didn't notice she was over me or the tears running down my cheek. Breeze picked me up and started rocking me in her arms. "Shh calm down Cloud please don't cry, Mommy's here Mommy's here." she cooed. I started wiping my tears and I looked up at her and my eyes grew wide. Instead of seeing Mrs. Breeze I saw a pegasus mare with a red mane and coat with crystal blue eyes that shined and just by looking at her I knew who it was, "M-Mama?" Whatever happened my vision cleared or something and soon I could see Mrs. Breeze and her maternal smile, "That's right Mama's here now tell her what's wrong with her little Cloud?" she cooed putting me over her shoulder and patting me. I couldn't believe what I just saw, my mother as Mrs. Breeze...I felt so confused but her cooing did make me feel better and I snuggled into her mane, "I had a nightmawe." "Aww it's okay now its a brand new day, so are you hungry?" she asked. I nodded and Breeze carried me to the rocking chair and sat down and when I saw it I took one of her teats in my mouth and started suckling on her rich milk. As I suckled I thought about what happened in my dream and what that foal said...should I give up my life to have a new mother and make Breeze happy or to leave with Star Bright if he ever gets an idea of how to escape. I felt so confused I have to think about this for a minute. After being fed and getting a diaper change Breeze carried me on her back out of the room and down the hall. Curious I look at her, "Where we going Mama?" I asked. "I thought it be nice if we went out for a while to town, maybe to the park." Breeze said walking down the long stair case. "Out!? But what about Staw Bwight what if he comes to my room to see me and I'm not thewe?!" I asked. "Don't worry sweetie you can see him when we come back." she retorted as we reached the bottom of the stairs and Breeze walked up to a pony near the door holding a bag. I look at the new pony I never seen before. She had a pink curled with purple streaks and a purple coat and she was wearing a maid outfit had a bright happy smile the pony held up the bag to Mrs. Breeze, "Here the baby bag for you Mrs. Breeze, it has everything you need." the earth pony mare said. Breeze smiled, "Thank you Joy your very helpful." Joy walked around and looked at me and cooed, "Aww look at you, you are so cute!' she started tickling my belly and I couldn't help but start to giggle, "Yes you are, yes you are how's the cutest baby in the world that's you!" "Okay Joy that's enough me and Cloud have to go now." Breeze giggled starting to walk away from her. "Aww oh well, I'll see ya later Cloudy." Joy said before she pranced away down the hall. I look at Breeze confused what just happened, "Mama who was that?" "That sweetie was Joy she's one of my maids that work here and she's been waiting a chance to see you ever sense you became my baby." she said. "Weally hmm, so awe there anymowe maids I should know about?" "A few but don't worry you'll get to meet them later, till then you and me will enjoy a day out, oh and just so you know if you try to talk to anypony other then me to try to get help, I can't in sure Star Bright's safety if I where to not come home and Trotworth started to worry." I sighed she knew what I would do if we where to go out and get help but now sense Star Bright's here and I tried to get help by the time the cops get here to get him It may have already been to late, "Otay Mama I undewstand, but what do I do if somepony talks to me, obviouswy I'm to young to talk?" "I doubt somepony would talk to you other then to coo on how cute you are, but if that does happen just coo and giggle like a little baby." Breeze said happily obviously thinking of how cute I would look doing that. I pouted, "But Mama I dun want to do that, that just humiwiating." I retorted. "Oh I guess don't care about your friend then?" "Awe you gonna use that against me a lot?" "Maybe." she said in a sing song voice. "Fine I'll do it." Breeze smiled and continued walking to the waiting carriage. **** After the carriage ride into town, Breeze got out of the carriage tipping her driver and the pullers and putting me in the stroller she brought with her she started walking down the streets of ponyville. To anypony it would look like a mother taking her foal out for a stroll, but in reality it was a crazy pony riding around her hostage. "Mama I dun want to wide in the stwowwer wet me out!" I complained keeping my voice down so nopony could hear but her. "Oh come on sweetie aren't you having fun riding in your stroller?" she cooed. I pouted and crossed my arms, "No, I dun wike it, its humiwiating and ponies keep looking at me." I retorted looking around at other ponies I could see who where looking at me and a few I could even hear them say 'Aww what a cute little foal' or 'Aww look at the cute baby.' it made me feel very uncomfortable and I wanted to hide. "Don't worry sweetie will be at the park soon and once you start playing I bet you wont even notice them." she retorted. **** Soon we got to the park and Breeze set me down in a sand box to play for I while, with nothing better to do and no way to get help sense Breeze was sitting on a bench a few inches away I started playing in the sand digging my hooves in the dirt and shoveling it into a pail that she gave me. I guess it wasn't too bad, I didn't notice the ponies passing by or even the other little colts or fillies playing around me. I was just too busy shoveling sand into my pail and then making a tiny sand castle and then another and I hate to admit it but...it was fun. I kept playing in the sand for what felt like forever then suddenly I hear a whole bunch of laughing and I look over at a swing set not to far from where I was. There I saw a little colt older then me probably four giggling and laughing as his mother pushed him on the swing. I watched them as they laughed together and flashes of memories I had with my Mom flashed before me. I was on the swing and Mom would push me again and again sending me higher into the sky or that's how it felt. I almost felt like crying remembering those times together then suddenly a shadow lingers over me and I look behind to see Breeze with a smile. "Cloud would you like Mommy to push you on the swing?" I smiled a little bit and nodded, "Yes that would be nice." I replied lifting up my arms for her to pick me up. Breeze smiles and picking me up she carries me on her back to the other swing set next to the one the mother and her colt was playing on but slightly different. The seats where made in a way for a younger foal to play in so foals don't fall out and Breeze lowered me into said seat, it was humiliating...but I'm willing to let this one slide. "Are you ready sweetie?" Breeze asked. I look behind at her and nodded. Breeze smiled and started to slowly push the swing making me move and when I came back she pushed harder and harder making me go higher. As I started to go higher up into the air I couldn't help but start to giggle and laugh like a foal and kicked my hooves playfully, this was so much fun I cant remember the last time I did something like this. "That's a cute foals you have." said the mother before she pushed her child again into the air from the swing. Breeze looks at her and smiles, "Yes, yes he is." she said and looked at me maternally, I was to busy having fun to notice what they said. We played at the swings for hours even after the mother and child left and finally Breeze decided to take me out of the swing and I looked up at her and pouted, "Aww awe we leaving now?" She nodded, "Yes sweetie it's getting late and besides don't you want to see what else Mommy has planed?" Breeze said tickling my belly with a wing making me giggle. When she finally stopped and I stopped giggling I looked up at her curious, "Weally there's more?" I asked. "Hmm a big surprise I think you'll like, so how about it?" I thought about it for a minute and nodded, "Otay as long as its not something stupid." **** Where we went was far from stupid, it was a place where many dreams where born, a place where no little pony can resist the thing I love almost more then life itself. My eyes grew so big I thought they would pop, "ICE CWEAM!!" I screamed not even caring if anypony herd me witch luckily there wasn't anypony close by at the time that could hear me. I looked at the ice cream parlor that had a big ice cream sign over it and the wore 'Ice Cream' in big letters. Breeze looks down at me in the stroller surprised, "Do you like ice cream Cloud?" she asked though the answer was obvious. "I wuve ice cweam! Its so yummy and sweet! I always use to go out to get some..." I paused and lowered my head when I was about to say the last part, "...with my Mama." Breeze frowned as she watched me start to tear up and picked me up into a hug, "Don't worry sweetie we can still enjoy having ice cream with me right?" I look up at her and that smile she had. I couldn't help but smile back and nod, "Otay...I guess I can enjoy a cone with you." I reply. Breeze smiles, "Good now what flavor would you like?" "Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!" I said vigorously, that's another thing I cant say no to chocolate its my weakness one time I chased a bunch of filly scouts for some and they never even came to my door yet. After going into the store and then coming back out and sitting at a bench outside with two cones: one vanilla for Breeze and a chocolate one for me. I started to practically inhale my cone scarfing every bit of ice cream as I can into my mouth and down into my belly getting it all over my face and making a mess but I didn't care. "Oh your so messy Cloud," Breeze said going into the baby bag and pulling out a wipe she bent down and moving my ice cream away from my face for a minute she started wiping my face clean, "I may have to give you a bath late." "Mama dun wipe my face I wanted to wike it off later!" I complained as she finished wiping my face. "What and make yourself even more sticky? Not on my watch mister my job is to keep you clean and not let you walk around with chocolate all over your cute face." There it is again she sounded just like her, "Umm...otay Mama I'm sowwy." Breeze smiled, "Don't worry about it now eat your ice cream then will head home." **** After eating are ice cream we got back on the carriage and started are way back home. I started to feel sleepy and rubbed my eyes as I laid my head against Breeze chest cradled in her arms. "Are you getting sleepy Cloud?" Breeze asked smiling down at me. "Yeah a widdle." I reply yawning. "You can take a nap if you want." I shook my head, "No I want to see Staw when we get back to the mansion." I complained struggling to keep my eyes open. "It's okay Sweetie I promise once you wake up will go see Star okay." I tried to retort but Breeze started humming a lullaby and rocking me back and forth. I tried to keep my eyes open but soon I closed my eyes going to sleep listening to the lullaby you know I'm not sure but I think I may have heard it somewhere?
