Fluttershy happily flew into her house, with Angel hopping only a few feet behind her. She landed on her sofa. She reached behind her and took out of a small duck covered book. It had a happy title of baby care making Fluttershy smile. She loved little foals and always wanted her own. But how?
She didn't know any stallions who fully loved her if you discount Discord as a stallion. Even if she choose Discord though, could you actually have a foal with him. She didn't think so but then again who knew?
Knock! Knock
Somepony was knocking on the cottage door, at this hour. Fluttershy looked up from her book and at the clock, it was only 5 minutes past 10 but it was still late for somepony to be knocking. She signed faintly, hopped off her sofa and to the door. She pushed opened the top half of the door first and looked for who was knocking.
''Um...Uh...Hello?'' said Fluttershy, to the darkness of the night.
Nopony repiled and they was nopony in sight so Fluttershy gently opened the bottom half of the small cottage door and walked out but then something caused her to stop. Something had hit her foreleg in a thud light feel.
She looked down and beneath her was a basket, covered by a crystal white blanket. Whatever was inside was breathing as the blanket lifted up and down but not by much hinting it was small. She reached down and gripped her teeth onto the over the basket strap and picked it up.
She carried it slowly inside and put it on a nearby table. She nuzzled at the blanket and got a small babyish sound that was muffled by the blanket. Curious, she nuzzled the blanket again but this time pushed it slightly.
Much to her shock and surprise, there was a frighten foal inside the small basket. She appeared to have a bright yellow coat similar to Fluttershy's but a few shades lighter. Her mane was a medium magenta-purple like color with a rather medium streak running just left to the center that was a light pink. The foals eyes however were a interest to Fluttershy. The foal appeared to have heterochromia meaning her eyes were different in color. This foal's eyes were pink and purple which was a cute combination.
''Hello, little filly.''
The filly cooed in fright and attempt to pull the blanket back over her and that when Fluttershy noticed the stub that was putting just out of her mane, she was a unicorn.
Fluttershy found her adorable and gently took the foal out of the basket and cuddle the foal in her hooves gently as to not frighten the foal even more.
The foal calmed down and looked at the yellow pegasus for a second with her mismatched eyes. Fluttershy smiled and said.
''I wonder why you were left on my doorstep? Your adorable.''
A butterfly flow into the room and landed on the foals nose making Fluttershy giggled and smile more.
''That's it. For the time being your name will be Timid Butterfly. It's cute and your obviously shy.'' said the smiling mare.
The foal smiled for a second before her tummy rumbled causing her to burst out crying.
''Milk. I don't think I have a bottle however....'' Said the mare as she carried the young crying Timid into the kitchen. She put Timid on the side before getting the milk from the fridge and then looking for a bottle. Luckily she had one, probably from the fact she always wanted a foal to care for. She filled in with the milk and then heated it till it was just warm, not to hot and not to cold.
''Here you go.'' she said as she gently feed Timid the milk, being careful as to not give the foal to little at the go or too much.
Timid wasn't greedy and only drank half of the bottle before looking tired. Fluttershy smiled, picked up the foal and put the bottle on the side for later uses.
She carried Timid back into the living room and slowly layed her in the basket, pulling the cover over the foals head and carefully pulling the blanket over the young foal. As soon as Timid was comtable and asleep, Fluttershy carefully picked up and basket and carried it upstairs. Placing it on her nightstand so she could hear if Timid was crying.
With that, she kissed Timid's forehead and gently got into her bed, under the covers. Smiling kindly before setting into sleep.
Around 3 in the morning did the crying start waking a still tired but not exhausted Fluttershy. The foal obviously had a accident during the night and now was feeling gross. She picked up Timid and carried downstairs before realizing she was in a bit of a trouble now. She didn't have diapers so what to put on Timid.
She eventually made a makeshift diaper that could do for about 3 hours at most. It was made out of a soft but thick fabric that easily secured around Timid's flanks. She grabbed a pin and used it to hold the makeshift diaper in place. Smiling at her handiwork, she got rid of the ruined diaper and carried Timid back to her basket and Fluttershy prepared herself for only 3 more hours of sleep.
Fluttershy obviously was lucky as the makeshift diaper was still okay when she had woke up 3 hours later. She woke the sleeping foal and carried her for a morning feed so Timid didn't go hungry during the first few hours of the day. She had to take Timid to meet her friends and have a doctor check her.
She opened the cottage's door carrying the foal in her basket and prepared for a long and tiring but hopefully a good day. She troted down the path, waving to the woodland and domestic animals as she past them on her way. It only took 5 minutes to get into ponyville but those probably were gonna be the easy bit of the day.
