Prolouge
It was a rainy day when this strange stallion found me. The reason I say this was because I was told this, and by the time this happened, I was too young to remember.
Anyways, it was around nine P.M., Equestrian time, and the first shuttles through the bridge that lead from Earth to Equestria had made their last rounds of the day. No one, pony, human, or otherwise, had noticed a small basket with a sleeping baby within it, until the baby had awoken, crying out loud for any multiple of reasons.
A bunch of ponies would search for the crying baby, thinking that some pony or human had left their child through accident. They found the crying child and started to ask around the station's occupants about the child, and when none came, a strange light brown coated stallion walked up to the blue stallion that was now holding me. "Excuse me sir, but did anyone find the child's mother?"
The blue stallions hook his head, tipping his hat in disappointment. "No, I guess we are going to send the poor little one to the nearby orphanage. Sorry we couldn't find your parents little uh... heh wish the humans who left this guy gave him a note with his name."
The baby babbled and the light brown coated stallion looked to the child. "I might know of a couple that could use a child at this moment, rather than send him to a place where he might not make it." The Station guard gave a nod and handed the baby over tot he stallion who started to walk off, looking a bit ticked off as he walked.
As he walked he asked the baby questions, and the baby responded the only ways it could; crying, babbling, making confused faces, and so on. Though the stallion seemed to understand it, or what the baby could tell by understanding, by looking into the stallion's light blue eyes.
The stallion suddenly stopped, causing the baby to get bored and look around the different buildings, until it's eyes fell on the door the stallion was reaching for. After knocking the door opened and two pony stood there, looking at the strange site of a stallion with a baby within his arms. "I saw that you two needed a child within the papers this evening, and this human child was left on a shuttle that was zoned here. It might not be what you two wanted, but at least you get a child and you would be giving this child a good home."
The two ponies stepped out of the light, two white unicorns standing there, a male with some combed back blue hair while his partner had long pink hair for her mane and tail. The mare's pink eyes fell onto the baby who was looking up at the two while sucking on it's thumb, and well she literally almost acted like a mad woman with taking the child, but she kept herself calm and slowly lifted the child out of the stallion's hands.
The partner to the mare smiled and turned to the light brown stallion. "It seems my wife thinks the child is perfect. How can we thank you?"
"No need to. I save and protect people, young and old, it is what I do." The strange stallion just smiled before walking away from the front door and off into the distance. As the last of the stallion's body disappeared, the baby looked up at the stallion and mare he was left with, they both closed the door and proceeded to have a quiet, small celebration before they dedicate themselves to being parents... at least the stallion, the mare would sit down and feed the young baby.
"What is your name going to be little one?" She would hum gently, or at least try to as she thought of a name. The blue haired stallion heard her and joined her in thinking.
Each name they came out with seemed to be shot down the moment it was said. Either by the other not liking it, or the name made the baby sniffle a bit. Eventually the blue haired stallion thought of a perfect one. "Fleur de lis, how about we name him James? That is a nice name for a human, right?"
"Hmmm... James, James. You are right my lovely Fancypants, James it is." She would hold up the child on her shoulder and burp him. "Our little James, is going to be such a nice boy growing up, I can feel it."
After burping the young baby boy, they decided to put him to bed, gently laying the child in a crib within a blue room. It was not long before the child was asleep and they were quietly going off to their own room. On the way there they thought that it would be easy being parents.
That is what at least they thought as they started to slowly raise their new child throughout the years, feeling and living through the hardships and turmoils, also reviling within the moments where their child shined out more than ever. They hated and loved the fact that they were parents, having to guide their son trough life, and also trying to do it n secret, since they didn't want the child to be bothered because they were his parents.
After all if you were the son of somepony close to royalty or even high in the social food chain, you were considered to be an idol and would be pestered constantly for interviews. They did not want that kind of stress and torture to be brought to their child, is that to much to ask form Celestia? They did not think that asking for their child to have a normal childhood was too much to ask from somepony who raises and lowers the sun every day.
