Letting out a soft yawn, I blink my eyes open, and look down at the sleeping little boy cradled in my forelegs. A warm, joyous smile forms across my face at the sight as I lean my head in to give him a tender kiss on the forehead. “Connor darling, it’s time to wake up.” I speak just above a whisper into his ear.
I watch him as he lets out a little yawn of his own, blinking his little eyes open, and giving me a little smile. “Good morning Ms. Rarity.” He reaches up with his little hands to rub at his eyes.
Giving him a blushing smile, I lean into nuzzle at his cheek, and pat the side of his lap as I cradle him to the warmth of my chest. “Good morning precious. Did you sleep well last night?”
He gives me a light nod. “Yes Ma’am.” I hear him let out a sigh of comfort. “Mm… Ms. Rarity, your fur is very soft and warm.” He snuggles against my chest as he lays his head on my shoulder.
I let out a soft giggle. “Well, thank you very much darling.” I give him another gentle kiss on his forehead, stroking at his mane. “Are you hungry Connor? If you would like, we can go see what the others are having for breakfast, okay precious?” I nuzzle him lightly at his little nose.
He gives me a soft smile, letting out a little giggle, and giving off a light blush. “Yes Ma’am, I am hungry.” I hear his little tummy rumbling and use my free hoof to gently rub at him, earning a soft giggle from him.
I let out a giggle of my own giving him a warm smile. “Alright darling, let’s go get you something good to eat.” I gently set him down on the bed so I can climb out of it. I stretch out my legs, letting out a loud yawn. I look over at him and carefully levitate him onto my back as I turn to trot out of the bedroom.
As we enter into the dining hall, we see the others gathered around in a circle lying on red satin pillows, and with both princesses in the center. They turn to us nodding their heads to greet us and I see two available pillows between Applejack and Fluttershy. I trot over, lay down on one pillow as Connor is very careful climbing off my back and sits down on the other one.
“Good morning girls, Princess Luna, and Princess Celestia.” I smile warmly at my friends and bow my head to the royal sisters.
“Good morning my dear Rarity.” Princess Celestia greets me with a warm smile. She turns her gaze toward Connor. “And you must be the little one that my little ponies have been speaking of, and the little boy who our generous Rarity has come to care for.” She gives him a warm smile as well and I gently reach over with a hoof to rub along his back soothingly.
He looks up at me with a smile, and then back at the princesses. He bows his head respectfully. He looks back up at Princess Celestia. “Yes Ma’am, Ms. Rarity is a very nice lady pony, and she has been very nice to me. Her friends are very nice to me too.” He gives the others a warm smile as I stroke at his mane with a hoof.
Celestia looks at all of us with a nod of agreement, and then back at Connor. “Allow us to introduce ourselves sweetheart. My name is Princess Celestia and I’m the Princess of the Sun, meaning that I control the day.” She bows her head to the little boy.
Luna bows her head next, giving him a warm smile. “And I’m the Princess of the Night, Princess Luna, and I control the night. We’re very honored to meet thou little one.”
He bows his head again to both of the royal sisters. “It’s nice to meet you too Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. My name is Connor.” He gives them a soft smile.
“Well, Connor, my sister and I would like to officially welcome to our home of Equestria.” Luna nods in agreement. I look to see a frown creep across Celestia’s face as she speaks again. “Little one, we’ve also been informed by Rarity and her friends that you have no family, and that this foul beast known simply as ‘Sir’ has hurt you beyond comprehension, am I right Connor?” She gives him a deeply worried look.
I look over at him with a frown as he lowers his head, nodding it slowly, and he starts to shake a little. I reach over my foreleg and lay it over his shoulders, pulling him close to my side. I look down at him “Connor darling, it’s okay. We all care about you, and we are here to help you feel better.” I give him a tender kiss on top of his head.
He lets out a light sniffle as he looks up at me with a stray tear rolling down his cheek. He gives me a tearful smile in which I return and he turns his attention back to the princesses. “Yes Ma’am. Sir always used hit me with his big leather belt if I done something wrong, and always told me that I would never be loved or cared for, because I was such a weak, pathetic runt.”
I feel him start to shake under the touch of my foreleg, and I can’t help but pull him close to me, rubbing along the side of his arm soothingly. I lay my head carefully on top of his. “Shh… it’s okay darling, I’m here…Shh.” I continue to rub his side as I hold him close.
“We are truly sorry dear Connor that you’ve had to be subjected to such heinous acts like that.” Luna speaks as I see her shed a lonely tear and a frown etched on her face. “However little one, don’t you ever feel that you are weak or pathetic. You are worthy of love sweetheart and for that foul excuse for a stallion to say stuff like that to you shows that he is the true weak one.”
I look down to see him turn his head a bit to look Princess Luna, laying his cheek against my chest. Celestia nods in agreement. “Indeed dear.” She looks at Luna giving her a nod and Luna carefully stands up, trotting out of the dining hall. Celestia turns back to the small child. “Connor, it’s completely up to you, but how would you like to live here in Equestria where you will certainly be loved and cared for?”
He sniffles as I watch him lift up a warm to wipe at the remainder of his tears. “R---really Princess Celestia, you mean I could have a family?” I smile warmly as I look at Celestia giving him a light nod.
“Exactly little one, you could not only have a family who will love you with all their hearts, but you will have what you deserve, a mother.” She smiled warmly at the little boy.
Princess Luna returns levitating a rolled up scroll with her. Connor asks in his very polite, soft tone. “A mommy Princess Celestia, I could have a real mommy?” I keep silent as I look down at him with a bright, blushing smile.
Princess Luna lays back down on her pillow beside Princess Celestia as she levitates the scroll over to Connor and I. She speaks up. “Thou young Connor, my sister, myself, and the Elements of Harmony would be more than honored to call you our own. And… well I’ll just let our generous Rarity take it from here.” She levitates a quill over to me and I take the scroll, and quill in my magic.
I look down at Connor as he looks up at me with his eyes wide, staining with tears of joy I can sense. “Connor darling, ever since I discovered you in that alleyway and took you into my home, you’ve touched my heart like no other.” I feel tears start to sting my eyes, but I gently close them, take in a deep breath, and exhale deeply before opening them. “You are such a sweet, well-mannered, and handsome little boy Connor, and if it’s okay with you darling, I would love to be your mommy.”
I look down at him with a big tearful smile on his face and I don’t think I need to know his answer is yes, because he wraps his little arms tightly around my neck, burying his face into the warmth of my chest. I wrap both of my forelegs around him as I look up at the scroll which is the official adoption form and I sign my name on the line. I roll it back up, levitating it over to Princess Luna and Princess Celestia.
I look down to see Connor smiling brightly, tears flowing freely down his face, but I can tell that they are tears of joy. “Ms. Rarity, do you mean it? Do you mean that I can call you Mommy?” He sniffles as I reach up with a hoof to stroke at his mane.
“Of you can precious. Connor, I love you, and you are my precious little baby boy now. I promise to always give you the love, care, and comfort that you truly deserve. I promise to be the mother that you need Connor.” I lean my head down to kiss him on the forehead. I allow my own tears to roll down my cheeks, as I see the others tearing up as well, including Rainbow Dash.
“Oh Mommy, I love you!” He buries his face into the warmth of my chest again as I just hold him close in my forelegs.
“Mommy loves you too darling, Mommy loves you too!” I kiss the top of his head and lay my cheek on top of his head, sighing warmly.
“Yippee! This means I get to throw the little guy an official ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party!” I raise my head up just for a bit to watch Pinkie cartwheel around us, until she stops near me and Connor. He turns his head a bit to let out a little giggle at Pinkie’s giddiness as she pat his head gently with a hoof. “For now though sweet pea, I’m going to let you enjoy today with your new mommy.” She gives us a beaming smile, cartwheeling back over to her pillow.
Yes Pinkie, tomorrow we can have Connor’s official party welcoming him to Ponvyville, but for today it’s just me and my precious baby boy.
We continue to hug each other warmly for a long time, until breakfast arrives.
I promise to make this day special for my little darling baby boy.

Ah, another wonderful chapter. I have one problem... Your grasp of King James' English is not as strong as it should be. You cannot simply replace "you" for "thou" and "thee," there are severe grammatical rules for their use. Example:
These two words shouldn't appear side by side. "Thou" can actually be done without here or moved to replace "you've" where it actually makes grammatical sense. "Thou," "thee," and "thine" are personal pronouns after all. They're rare in this day in age but they do occur.
This little tidbit of information is something hammered into my skull many, many moons ago. Now, I pass it on to you. I shall be keeping an eye on your old English and keep you informed.
Another good chapter. Keep it up!
*Ahem*

... that is all.
awwwwwwwwww i'm happy rarity made the right decision in taking in connor and raising him as her own.
3207488 Indeed she did. How could she refuse such a sweet, respectful, and precious little boy such as Connor.
3207404 I feel proud of my stories when I hit right in the feels of all of my friends/readers.
3206851 Thank you always. and I plan to.
3206809 Thank you very much for pointing that out. I went back and fixed that. Sometimes I have a difficult time writing Luna's dialogue with King James' English.
3206759 Oh, I love that. Beautiful music, thank you for sharing. Also, I feel the same way in the meme and all the feels everyone else is feeling after writing this chapter.
3206742 Aiming for the feels with my stories is my motivation. If my stories didn't hit the feels of my friends/readers, then I won't feel like writing anymore. I'm glad they are able to though.
3206725 Aw.. cool. Well, I hope it is okay if I use Connor in this story though.
3206579 I ask the same question. I can't hardly finish any of the stories on here, because they make me tear up so badly that I have to read silently.
3206541 Uh..oh.. that isn't good. Don't want to end up like Homer.
3206464 Thank you very much for that. I am humbled by your words, and I truly appreciate them.
3206460 Hehe.. you know I can't resist adding cuteness into my stories.
3206457 Indeed, and it's not over yet. Rarity has a special day planned for her and her precious little baby boy.
3206420 Connor is the happiest little boy in the world of Equestria. He finally has a home, but most importantly a mommy.
3206418 Oh, lol.. I tend to make my stories explode with cuteness don't I?.
3206410 *Jumps and trembles* Okay, okay, I'll try to get the next chapter written sooner than this. Hehe.. good show.

Oh and Sir? Run.
delunchen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/kraken-copy10.jpg
YES another successful adoption *yells across room* Nikolai they did it
Nikolai: This calls for a drink
3207594 yes he is and yeah
3207839
3207719 oh, I love that picture of Squishy.
3207733 Haha.. indeed it does my friend.
3208148
3208148 is it weird that I saved that link in a word document I named "link for APoeticHeart's stories"?
3208148 fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/196/e/d/cute_fluttershy_by_andreamlp-d57bbnl.png
3208175 Oh, no I made Fluttershy cry. Unless it is tears of joy for Rarity adopting Connor.
3208161 No, that is cool I think. I am humbled.
3209770 Thank you always my friend, and for that inner voice, you never what may happen.
3211587 Hello my friend, how are you doing?
3211635 moderately okay.
3211852 Lol.. I couldn't agree more. I just can't stand Blueblood.
3212016 Well, that is good. Something bad happened though?
just curious, is there going to be a time skip were Connor is a teenager down the line.
3214601 That sounds interesting, but I don't know yet. I will think about that though.
3213110 I stubbed my toe
3215261 Oh I know how that is. I stubbed my toe plenty of times, and it is a pain.
3215339 Why did I buy that coffe table
OOOOOHHHHH THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSS! It's so touching.
3224488 Thank you always my friend. I promise though, it isn't over yet.
3211496 Just wanted to save that pic of Squishy. Oh and as for Sir:
...Shit.
Sweetest chapter thus far.
That's saying something.

My Point
I am not sure which story i like more, but i think this one a bit more then the first one with Fluttershy, but i think that was one of your first storys and there are sequels so i read them too.
One of our more fond memories, Conner was so adorable that day!!!!
I wish I could be adopted by somepony !
I now have the diabetus
