	After he cradled Derpy and shifted his body Bolter rocked the sleeping foal for a while longer. Derpy's wings continued to buzz sporadically as she dreamed and her face would smile greater when they did. Eventually he noticed Skybreeze started to stir in her bed as she began to wake up. The rested mare rubbed her eyes as she let out a long drawn out yawn.

"Is that you Bolter?"

"Yes honey, and I have our daughter with me. Look I think she is having her first dream."

Bolter walked over and presented the sleeping Derpy to Skybreeze who watched her daughter's wings as they buzzed or fluttered every few seconds. When she awwed her voice was loud enough to wake up Derpy who wasn't pleased at all to be disturbed again. Her face had an annoyed look on it as she pouted, but that quickly disappeared when she noticed mommy was finally awake and right next to her. Again she reached out to Skybreeze as she made a few labored whimpers. Other than crying these sounds were the only ones Derpy could make as she hadn't found her voice yet. Her mommy happily obliged to pick her up while her daddy was reluctant to give her away. Skybreeze brought Derpy in for a close tight hug, but her little filly could only place her forelegs on Skybreeze's chest as they were much too short to wrap around for a full hug. Derpy nuzzled her mommy's soft and warm chest and looked up at her with an excited look.

"Aww! Bolter how will we ever say no to this precious face?"

"I don't know. It's gonna be tough."

Derpy laughed at that and once again dropped her pacifier. Bolter made a dive for it so it wouldn't get dirty from touching the floor. For the next few minutes Skybreeze played with her daughter on the hospital bed. She attempted to play peekaboo by hiding underneath her covers, but this would only upset Derpy as she began to cry any time mommy would "disappear". Though tickling her and holding her up to pretend she could fly had Derpy more than amused. It had been almost a full day since she was born, and even though she had spent much of it sleeping Derpy finally felt the sensation of hunger for the first time, and it was a strong feeling at that. Out of nowhere Derpy changed from laughing to the beginnings of a cry as she let out a few sobs. Both of her parents could hear their foal's tummy rumbling as they watched Derpy rub her hooves on it. Her mommy tried to console her when Derpy frowned but regardless she broke out into a full on ear piercing cry.

*sniff* "Waa..." *sniff* *sniff* "WUAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!"

" I know you're hungry Derpy. Just be patient one more moment and I'll feed you."

Derpy's cries only intensified when Skybreeze set her down at the end of the hospital bed. Next Skybreeze shifted her body out from underneath the covers. She spread her hindlegs open to reveal her nipples which were swollen with milk.

"Okay my little Derpy. Come to mommy now and drink up."

By instinct Derpy calmed down from her wailing and blubbering as became fixated on to her target. She slowly crawled up to Skybreeze and then placed her lips around the closest nipple she could reach. Derpy then began sucking on it as if it were her pacifier. Skybreeze felt a slight discomfort as this was her first time ever breastfeeding, but she felt relieved being able to naturally feed her filly. Most newborn foals would reject a bottle so if they mother didn't produce any milk of her own the situation quickly became dire. Derpy suckled from her mother's nipple for a solid five minutes before she stopped. Hunger sated the filly then looked up at her mommy with a discomforting look on her face, but Skybreeze knew what was coming next.

*hiccup* *hic* hiccup*

Derpy had her first ever case of the hiccups and didn't know why she couldn't control them. She gave her mommy another frightened look, but Skybreeze rapidly scooped her up and placed Derpy over her shoulder as she patted the hiccuping filly's back. Within a few moments Derpy let out a tiny burp that startled her. Now with the hiccups gone and a belly full of warm milk Derpy felt much better. Skybreeze then brought Derpy back in front of her face and booped her tiny little nose. Derpy giggled and through imitation she booped her mommy's nose right back. This started an intense booping war which of course Skybreeze let her daughter win. She set the bouncing filly back down on the bed and feigned a surrender. Derpy clapped her hooves together in excitement, but she was interrupted when Bolter picked her up.

"Come here sweetie. Now it's daddy's turn to play."

Derpy was caught off guard as Bolter lifted her up from behind, and she was so startled in fact that she wet her diaper. This was another new sensation to her and Derpy again didn't know what or why that just happened so she just cried. When Bolter tried to cradle her in an attempt to calm her down he felt the welt squish of Derpy's diaper. After much protest and pleading with Skybreeze to change her. Skybreeze just made the point that he caused it so he should have to do it. After a heavy sigh he agreed, but only because taking care of his daughter down was more important. He brought the distraught filly over to the changing table in the hospital room and carefully set Derpy down on her back. Derpy flailed around and kicked at Bolter as he attempted to remove her diaper.

"Come on Derpy please hold still. I need to get you out of that diaper."

Though once he had it off and cleaned Derpy with some foal wipes his daughter mostly calmed down to a few light sobs. He then added some foal powder to prevent a possible diaper rash, and then attempted to put a fresh diaper on her. Derpy was extremely ticklish and refused to sit still as Bolter tried several times to get her legs in place. After quite a struggle however Bolter finally had Derpy changed and back to her silly personality. Bolter carried her back over to Skybreeze, and Derpy hopped from his arms to land on the hospital bed. She slowed her descent by buzzing her tiny wings and landed safely, but both of her parents had mini heart attacks when she jumped.

"Raising her is going to be a two pony job!"

"Well then it's a good thing she has TWO parents!"
