Sweetie replied absent mindedly. Button took notice of how his wife didn't look happy. "Are you ok?" He asked out of worry. "Our fourth anniversary wouldn't be the same without you happy as you deserve to be." "Huh? Oh yeah, I love this anniversary. Better than the last." she replied flatly. "You look like something is bothering you." Button said knowingly. Sweetie Belle looked like she had something on her mind ever since Pinkie's daughter had her third birthday not too long before then. Ever since, Button found her daydreaming and constantly looking out the window to where little fillies and colts played. "It's nothing." Sweetie said quickly. "Tell me, please," Button asked with a smile. "It's not important," Sweetie said as she looked to the side and cracked a smile. "Please?" Button asked as he leaned over the private table to her. "We don't need to talk about it." Sweetie said as she giggled and slightly blushed. "Pretty please with cotton candy on top?" Button said giving her a puppy dog stare. Sweetie giggled at how Button acted like a pleading child. "Fine, but let me finish my cheesecake." Sweetie Belle giggled as Button returned to his regular expression. 'How could I tell Button? What if he says no? Or what if we're not ready for a foal?' Sweetie kept thinking as she ate forkful by forkful of the cheesecake the chefs made for the two. They were in Manehattan, where they've spent the past week for their anniversary. They were sitting outside of the town on a ferry. Button was anxious for Sweetie Belle to finish, each time she dug her fork into the sweet treat, he was becoming more and more impatient. Finally, Sweetie Belle finished, and wordlessly, she walked to the edge of the boat with Button hot on her tail. Sweetie Belle sighed. "Button?" She said while looking away. "Yes Sweetie?" Button Mash replied. "I... wanttohaveababy." Sweetie said too quickly for Button to catch. "Come again?" Button said teasingly. "I... want to have a baby." Sweetie said. She didn't look up from the roaring waters. When she received no reply, she looked up at Button Mash, who had a poker face. "Button?" She asked worriedly. 'Did I break him?' She thought. She then found the ground move from underneath her as she was swept off her hooves causing her to blush knowing it was Button. "What are you doing?" She asked as he set the surprised and blushing Sweetie Belle down. "I was starting to wonder if you would never ask!" Button said with a smile. "You mean you want to have a foal? You really think that we're ready?" Sweetie asked as she stepped closer and looked up at him. "I think that we'll be able manage." Button said. "Ok, but we need a plan. We need to prepare at home, learn how to properly care for a foal, everyone must be told about our new decision, and-" She was stopped as Button grabbed her; causing her to blush again, and slowly spin her around as he lead her into a slow dance. "You talk too much." Button said as he looked down to his blushing wife. Sweetie smiled and went along with the movements, glad that she could truly enjoy the rest of her vacation now that those words were off her chest. Button and Sweetie Belle walked back into the suite they were currently in. "Ok, now if we're going to be parents, we'll need baby clothes, a crib, bottles-" "Whoa Sweetie Belle, you're forgetting one detail." "What's that?" "Your tour remember?" Button reminded her. "That's right! How did I ever manage to forget? Now our plans are going to be delayed for the next three months! What am I going to do?" She said while pacing back and forth across the room. "Calm down, don't worry about it. If we can wait four years, we can wait for three more months." Button said while comforting his wife. "I just want to have a baby, to be a parent, I just really want to." Sweetie said as she looked down. "We'll figure something out, now let's continue with the rest of the vacation." Button said. "Ok," Sweetie Belle said.
