//------------------------------// // Chapter 3- The Big Break- The Patterson Family // Story: New Beginnings: Adulthood // by Frisk Ramirez //------------------------------// "Elijah come down here please!" Said Nightlight.We got married last month and a few months ago Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had kids and he has one on the way a boy. Two years old Lilo poked Nightlight's stomach she giggles. "Yes Dear? How can I help you?" She looks at me with her hazel eyes my heart flutters "Can you help me up?" I walked over and helped her up when she was finally up the phone rang "Hello Patterson residents! How may I help you?" "Eli it's me Button! Turn on the radio!" I walk over and turned it on Vinyl's voice came on "I have a brand new song for you guys from a newly signed singer for VSO records his name's Elijah and this is a song he wrote "You're On." Enjoy my song plays and I was amazed my song is on the radio! "Button this is awesome! My song is on the radio!" "I know congrats we are having a party at my place later you can come and bring your family!" I was surprised I'm glad I have good friends. "Okay I will be there!" I hang up the phone "Wow..." The doorbell rings I open the door to see my sister Firefly "What's wrong? Sis." She's crying "Mom and Auntie are dead!" She said I couldn't believe her Mom and Shooting are dead! "What happened Firefly!?" I asked "There was a accident with a tree...a-and..." She couldn't talk straight she started to hyperventilate. "Calm down what happened?" I say putting my hove on her shoulder. "Mom and Auntie were in a cart and they lost control and they hit a tree...mom was sent flying and her head on a tree...Auntie had a tree branch in her chest...they both died instantly..." Tears started to form around my eyes. "Did you tell Prokun..." I asked trying to keep strong. "Yes he wanted to talk to you at the party..." "Okay see you there..." I said closing the door she stops it. "You're going to be alright?" She asked "Yeah...I'm gonna be fine." I close the door and sigh "Why?...Why me?" I started to cry. I just lost my mom and aunt...the two ponies that cared for me as a child...I get up from my spot and get ready for the party. (A few hours later) "Dude I think you've had enough candy tonight!" said Button keeping me up. "You *hiccup* shut up at *hiccup* least I don't get drunk off apple juice!" "Hey that only happened once!" "Right and you throwing the chair at Cupcake was a good idea!" He recalled it easily it was the first time he saved Button. Prokun taps his glass. "I want to thank all of you for coming today! I would like to thank Pinkie for planning this party and I would like to congratulate a new member of VSO records Elijah!" He jesters toward me and I sobered up and walk up to the mic "I would like to thank Prokun, Button, Sweetie Belle, Dinky and many others for the support and I would like to give a shout out to my mom and aunt who passed away earlier today may Celestia rest her soul..." They all clapped for me it felt good having that off my chest I walked down and gave my pregnant wife a kiss "I love you..." "I love you t-" I see her dress is wet "Ahh...fudge." She screams "someone call an ambulance my wife's water broke!" I see Rumble grab a phone and called the ambulance...they arrived ten minutes later she's still screaming they picked her up and moved her into the ambulance "you're going to be okay!" We arrived at the hospital where she went into labor for a few hours I pace outside and I noticed a bed coming towards me it was magically moved over me I dodged it. "This is your fault!" She yelled "I'm sorry! But you don't have to try to kill me!" Then I flew to the room and sat in the corner nervous...then I heard a cry I run up to see a green pegasus with a big yellow and green mane. "It's a colt!" The doctor said I hear Nightlight laugh "He's beautiful what should we name him?" She asked me "Yaya Drogba that's his name...Yaya." I hug them both I lost something today but I also gained something's today it was both a good and bad day but a day to remember. (Few Hours later) When we finally got home Lilo was in her bed sleeping I tucked in Yaya into his crib. "Goodnight Yaya...my son." He falls a sleep. I walk into my room and go to sleep. "Honey?" Asked Nightlight "Yes?" What does she want now... "Wanna have another?" She asked out of the blue "Umm..." I don't know we just got a new one how is she able to be so energetic after giving birth? "I will take that as a yes!" She jumps on me (The next day) "Ugh...I hate it when you do that..." "Do what?" "Just jump on me and mate...it's very aggressive." "Heh...I guess I should be less aggressive next time." Next time?! What is she thinking? "Well I got to go to work..." "Okay Mr.Architect go make some buildings" I get dress and head out to work. "This is going to be a long day..."
