	Mac laid in the hospital bed with a cast covering his entire lower half. It had been twelve months since the “incident” and he hadn’t left this spot. Doctors said it would take another three months for him to entirely heal. Not a problem. Mac enjoyed the rest and relaxation. As he closed his eyes to sleep, he heard the door to his room open. 

“Mail for Big Macintosh!” yelled a gray, no-longer pregnant, Pegasus mare.

“Uhh you can sit it next to me.” Mac replied.

The Pegasus obliged and she dragged in a bag that looked to be filled with letters. She sat it within Mac’s hoof reach. As she did, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks and she hurriedly flew out. He knew why she blushed but didn’t call her out on it. He simply retrieved the mail bag and grabbed the first letter on top. He opened it and read. To his surprise, it was a letter thanking Mac for the favor he’d done and told him that he was now the father of a chubby baby colt. It even had a picture which showed how big the colt was. It didn’t matter, though. The colt would eventually fill out and reach Mac’s stature.

Excited, Mac opened up letter after letter. Each one kept adding more good news. Each letter stated more colts, more fillies, and even some twins that were all ranging in shape, race, size, and colour. Big Macintosh was now a proud father. Plus, he ensured the next generation of ponies in Equestria. He knew they would grow up strong; the Apple family seed did that. 

Mac finished reading the last thank you letter. It had been from Pinkie Pie and the most extravagant. It involved confetti, streamers, music, and she somehow appeared with the red-pink colt. They both were escorted out with haste. Now that Mac finished opening the letters, he decided it was now time to sleep.

“Don’t sleep yet, Equestria’s Hero.” Mac heard a voice say, “You job is not yet finished.”

Mac opened his eyes once again. What he saw he couldn’t believe. 

“Don’t worry my champion. It’ll all be over soon. We just have to make sure that Equestria has a ruler just in case something should happen to me. Now, shush.”

“Oh Celestia…”

“Don’t worry, Luna will be here shortly.”
