Chapter Fifteen
As I wait for Connor to get changed into his clothes for the day, I can feel tears sting my eyes at the cruel thoughts that distasteful voice put my head. Yes I admit, I’ve always fantasized about the idea of having a servant pamper me, answer to my every beck and call, and treat me like a princess. However, to ask that of a sweet, young little boy such as my son would just be barbaric of me.
I close my eyes to subdue my tears and let out a heavy sigh. Suddenly I feel something touching my foreleg and I open my eyes up to look down and see a concerned look on Connor’s face. “Mommy, are you okay?” The worry in his voice stings my heart.
Reaching up with a hoof, I gently stroke at his mane “Yes sweetheart, Mommy’s okay. I’ve just got something in my eye.” I let out a small sniffle as I give him a warm, reassuring smile. “You are a true gentleman in your new outfit today Connor.” I use my hoof to gently rub at his cheek.
He smiles up happily at me “Thank you Mommy.” He hugs my foreleg and I wrap my other one around his small form. I rub along his back comfortably and give him a kiss on top of his head.
“Are you ready to go outside sweetheart and take a tour of Canterlot?” I give him a warm smile as he looks up at me and gives me a nod.
“Yes Mommy. I would like that.” He gives a light blush on his cheeks and I give one in return as I reach up and stroke at his mane.
I bend on my forelegs “Climb on up darling.” I let out a giggle as he carefully climbs up onto my back and wraps his arms around my neck. I give his little hands a kiss and look back at him “Let’s just go say bye the girls right quick, then we’ll go outside, okay precious?” I nuzzle at his cheek, earning a blush.
He lets out a giggle, giving me a nod “Okay Mommy.” He sighs happily as he lays his head down on my shoulder and I lay my mane over his back to keep him warm as I trot to the dining hall.
As we arrive, I see the others conversing among one another as they turn to give us warm smile. “Well girls, we’re going outside, but we’ll be back in time to go back to Ponyville.” They give us a nod in agreement.
I wave a hoof at them as I see Connor lifting a hand to wave as well “Goodbye everyone, I’ll see you in a little bit.” He gives them a warm smile and turned to the princesses “Goodbye Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, it was nice meeting you both.”
They bow their heads and give him a warm smile as Celestia speaks “It was a pleasure of mine and my sister’s to meet you Connor. We are proud to have you a part of our family and a part of our home here in Equestria.”
Luna spoke up next “May you young Connor and your new family have a safe trip back to Ponyville.”
I bow my head to the two royal sisters, nod at my friends, and then I turn to trot out of the dining hall to leave the castle.
As we depart from the castle and into the city of Canterlot, I turn to Connor “Sweetheart, I’m truly sorry that we don’t have enough time to really enjoy the day here in Canterlot. I completely forgot about the train coming to pick us up today.” I give him a little frown.
He gives me a warm smile, hugging my neck a little tighter, causing my heart to melt. “It’s okay Mommy. I’m just happy to have a family and a mommy,” he speaks happily.
I can’t help but let out a light-hearted giggle as I nuzzle at his cheek and give him a tender kiss on the forehead. “And I’m happy to have such a precious little boy as a son,” I speak proudly, giving him a blushing smile. “I know what Connor, how would you like to go try one of the best donuts in all of Equestria? There is a stallion by the name of Donut Joe and he makes some of the most delicious sweets you’ve ever had.”
He beams happily “That sounds nice Mommy. I’ve never had a donut before though, because Sir always said good boys and girls deserved desserts, and he always told me that I was a bad little boy so I didn’t deserve any special treats.” His beaming smile suddenly turns into a frown, but I reach a hoof up to gently rub at his cheek.
“Well darling, you are a good and very sweet little gentleman. So don’t let those mean things that ruffian say get to you.” I give him a wink “Now let’s go get you a nice sweet treat my son.” I turn my head and start trotting forward to Donut Joe’s.
Trotting along the streets I see ponies giving us a warm wave and it puts a smile on my face that at least some will be welcoming toward Connor and not give him stares. Maybe the ponies of Ponyville just needs a little time at adjust to having a human in their home.
Yes, they are welcoming to him now, but what will happen when they discover that you’ve decided to adopt the little human boy? Do you think they will still be courteous and respectful you? No! They will cast you out of the high class society that you so desperately yearn to be a part of and look down at you as nothing more than a charity case.
Don’t you ever learn to just shut up and leave me alone! Like I’ve told you before, yes I have always dreamed of living the lifestyle of a rich and famous fashionista, but that slowly faded away once I met my friends. Also, I didn’t adopt Connor because of charity, but because I love him unconditionally, and he deserves a family and mother who will love him.
I try to block out the voice as we approach the donut shop and open the doors with my magic. The scent of warm fresh baked treats waft through the whole place, bring a dreamy smile to my face. I turn to look at my son as he has the same smile on his face and he lets out a sigh of softness.
Letting out a giggle, I give him a warm smile “It smells good in here, doesn’t it Connor?” I nuzzle at his cheek.
He blushes and nods his head “Mm… yes it does Mommy. I can’t wait to try a donut.” He smiles brightly as I trot up to the counter.
“Good morning and welcome to Donut Joe’s, how may I help you?” The unicorn stallion greets us. “Well hello Ms. Rarity, how are you doing on this fine day?” He gives me a warm smile.
I give him a nod “I’m doing just marvelous Joe.” I smile warmly as I turn my head to Connor “Joe, I would like for you to meet some pony… well someone special.” I turn to my side for Joe to see Connor.
“Well, hello there young one, and who might you be?” Joe asks, greeting Connor with a warm smile.
I clear my throat “Joe, this precious little boy is my son, Connor.” I smile proudly and brightly as I look at my son “Connor darling, this is Donut Joe, the proprietor and chief baker of this fine establishment.” I let out a little giggle.
Conner nods his head in respect as he gives Joe a warm smile “Hello Mr. Joe, it’s good to meet you. Mm… it smells very good in here.” He lets out a soft sigh.
“Well, thank you Connor. It is a pleasure to meet you as well, and may I say making donuts has been a passion of mine since I was just a little colt about around your age or maybe a little older.” He lets out a chuckle “Anyways though, so not to bore you with the story of my life, what would you like Connor and yourself Ms. Rarity?”
I look at him “I’d just like a cup of your fresh brewed coffee and a bagel.” I give him a nod as I turn to Connor “What would you like sweetheart?”
He looks behind Joe at the wide assortment of donuts and turns to Joe “Mr. Joe, I’ve never had a donut before.” He gives a frown, causing me to give one in return.
Joe lightly waved a hoof “That’s okay young man. I think I’ve got the perfect first donut for you to try, and I'll fix you a cup of hot chocolate to go with it.” He gives us a nod and trots around behind the counter to prepare our order.
I pull out my little bag of bits I brought with me to help pay for our little dessert.
Joe returns levitating a small box containing my bagel and Connor’s donut, and a drink carrier for our beverages “That will be six bits Ms. Rarity.”
I give him a nod and levitate six bits out of my bag, giving them to Joe. I levitate our order and give him a nod “Thank you again Joe.”
“Thank you Mr. Joe.” Connor speaks in his soft and polite tone.
Joe gives us a nod ‘You both are very welcome. I hope you have a wonderful day Connor and Ms. Rarity.” He gives us a nod as I turn to trot outside with our food.
As I trot outside of the donut shop I look for a table for us to sit at and I find one gently shaded by an umbrella. I trot over to it and look at Connor “Aha… here we go darling, a nice shaded area.” I give him a warm smile as I carefully place our food on the table and bend down on my forelegs to let him climb off.
He climbs up in a chair as I sit on my haunches. “This is a nice spot Mommy.” He gives me a warm smile as I open the box and place his donut on a napkin that Joe provided and his hot chocolate in front of him. He looks up at me “Thank you Mommy.”
I give him a nod “You’re very welcome my precious. I hope enjoy your very first donut here in Equestria Connor.” I give him a blushing smile as I take a bite out of my bagel, and then take a drink of my coffee.
He takes a bite out of his donut and makes a sigh of comfort “Mm… oh Mommy, that is good! It’s very sweet and warm.” He looks up at me with a bright smile and takes a drink of his hot chocolate “Mm… the hot chocolate is good too Mommy! I’ve never had hot chocolate before either.”
I reach a hoof over while I use my magic to levitate the bagel and gently touch his hand “Well don’t worry darling, as long as you have a loving home with me and my friends you can have the childhood that you so truly deserve.” I give him a warm smile as he gives me one in return.
After a few minutes, we finish our desserts, and seeing that the time for the Friendship Express to arrive draws near I look at my son “Well sweetheart, I guess it’s time for us to meet the others at the train station.”
He carefully climbs of his chair and walks over to me “Yes Mommy.” I bend down on my forelegs to allow him to climb up, and then I start our trek to the station.
As I trot along the streets, I turn to Connor “Darling, when we return to Ponyville, how would you like to meet my parents, your grandparents?” I nuzzle at his cheek.
He gives me a bright smile and nods his head happily “That sounds nice Mommy.” I can see tears sting his eye, but I can sense that they are tears of joy for the little darling in finally having a family. I give him a tender kiss on the forehead as I continue to trot toward the train station.
I just hope mother and father will be welcoming to Connor as all my friends and also Sweetie Belle. I let out a soft sigh.
Well, it's time to meet the grandparents. 
Also, it seems that voice won't be going away for a while.

You forgot the o Other than that, another good chapter. Can't wait to see how Rarity's parents interact with Connor.
i love it
and i can't wait for the next chapter to see how Rarity's parents interact with Connor and when will Conner meet Sweetie Belle in this story
Nice chapter and as for the voice: KILL IT! KILL IT WITH SQUISHY!
3299758 NO BURN IT WITH FIRE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
3299797 WHILE GETTING PUMMELED BY SQUISHY!
3299844 lets out an evil laugh
I just love this story
3299497 Hehe.. thank you for that. I corrected that.
He gets to have a whole family, and meet his new grandparents. 
Indeed, their interaction with Connor is going to be interesting.
3299706 Oh, Connor already met Sweetie Belle back in Chapter Four I believe.
3299758 Oh, I'm sure if the voice gets out of hand, Rarity would be able to handle it.
But if not, Squishy will be the next best solution. 
3299797 I say burn it with fire first, beaten by Squishy next, and if there is any left, let it endure the wrath of Mama Rarity!

3299933 lets out another evil laugh
Oh god what is going on with these comments all talking about burning and something called squishy I'm confused .....
But as to my opinion on the matter BURN that sucka MUAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!
that evil voice needs to SHUT THE BUCK UP!!!!!!
Something tells me that the voice will get even worse.
Amazing job once again, can't wait to see what happens
oh my gosh you are sure a freakin godly author for making me cry like ten times til now. And no, i dont regret losing my manliness here, because this story is just too awesome. I read it til this chapter in one shot and i am eager to read more of you. Take my like, take Ma follow, my favourite and thousand tank yous for this story
3299933 Connor met Sweetie Belle in chapter 5 not Chapter 4 and i love it
3300041 They can get pretty ruthless, but hey, it tells me that I'm at least doing something right if I'm able to bring such emotion out of my readers/friends/followers/family on here.
3300257 Yes it does, it is even annoying the Tartarus out of me.
3300295 Hmm.. that sounds interesting.
However, I've never seen Inception before,
3300314 Well, that hunch you have is right.
You all haven't seen the full brunt of what the voice has to offer yet. 
3300633 Thank you always my friend.
3300720 My good Sir, you humble me with your words and make me proud of the work I'm able to write,
jesus like i said before that voice is a annoying thorn awesome chap my friend
Something tells me the meeting with the Grandparents will go just fine... based on the few times we've seen them in show.
I still can't decide if the voice is Rarity's psyche arguing with herself or some outside influence... or the outside influence exploiting one weak point in her psyche and magnifying it exponentially.
I actually suspect Cadence's magic probably has some antidote/treatment to whatever the heck this voice is. "Love conquers all" they say. Now just to get Rarity to admit to the problem and get a message to her ASAP.
And I only have one word for the voice today. NI!
3302801 Indeed it is
and thank you always my friend. 
3303252 Oh, the voice has only just begun with it's torment of Rarity and her decision of adopting Connor as her son.
3303794
Then I'll just have to keep saying "NI!" to that voice until it yields.
I'm seriously considering to make a story like this....however the adopting mother is not pony!
3304689 Hehe.. okay.
3305539 Oh, I hope I didn't steal the idea in the first place though from you.
I wouldn't want to be an idea stealer.
3306033 not really. But in reality some what of a same concept though.
I can't wait to see what happens when they meet Rarity's paraents. By the way nice chapter very good.
3306290 Well, thank you always my friend for your kind words. I promise though, Toby and Connor are different, with different appearance, but also different situations of how they ended up in Equestria.
3306290 oh go put your tampon in!
3308199 Thank you my friend very much always.
"That voice needs to go".
(Starts Chainsaw)
"Lets get started
3304689 It will be Nied to death. SO I say NI!
3311422 Yes it does, but it is far from done with Rarity or Connor.
3311968 Lol.. gotta love Stewie.
please .......DON'T LET THE VOICE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!
. ironicly is listening to aviators shadows while reading chapter. and let it be know..........!@#3 THE SAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will not be satisfied until Rarity and Anti-Rarity are split into seperate beings, and then Rarity beats her other half in vicious hoof-to-hoof combat.
TAKING ALL BETS HERE, TAKING ALL BETS.
3312481 You know what, I like that idea, but could I at least let Anti-Rarity have some fun before the beating happens immediately.
3312206 Oh, the voice is strong no doubt, but can Rarity be stronger?
God that voice feels makes me want to go Freddy Krueger on it! I want to destroy it! Can I please destroy it!?
images.hollywood.com/site/freddy-krueger.jpg
3319134 Well, you'll going to have perfect aim, because they are very very very small.
3320378 Yes you can, but you got to let Momma Rarity handle it first.
I realize this is going to be an unpopular opinion, so feel free to rage at me. Let me begin by saying that you can write. Your grammar and punctuation are excellent, and you can go into great detail. That said, I can't take this story seriously.
Connor is precious. You have conveyed that fact, and I understood it after you told me so the first 3 times. I didn't need to hear it another 8 times in the few chapters I read to get it. Likewise, I get that he has been hurt in the past, you pounded it over my head enough that I'd have to be thick not to. This seems to be a jumbled mess of tear stung eyes, unbelievable (as in not believable, not unbelievably good)attempts at inducing the same feel over and over, and constant, inappropriate stroking/rubbing. No really, in those first 3 chapters I could get through, you used the words "stroke" and "rub" a total of 29 times. And every sentence using those words was as similar and repetitive as the last, and in the exact same context. For a total of the 6000 or so words that were in those chapters, I got the feeling that you only really conveyed a quarter of that worth of content, and then just repeated yourself alot. The story as a whole feels like a rehash of the Toby story (A story where each chapter felt like a rehash of the one prior to it, using the same dialogue with different characters) that suffered from the same problems, and I can't see it playing out any differently.
Before I go getting accused of being some edgy guy that just doesn't appreciate cute stories, I do. They just have to be done well. I do hope you keep going, but work on those descriptors, and try using more variation in your dialogue (Especially concerning .the kid himself. Not every sentence directed towards him needs to contain a "Sweetie" or "Little one" or "Precious". No one talks like that, even towards a child or pet.).
3323512 No I'm not going to rage at you, because I appreciate your constructed criticism, and others' criticism when/if they have to offer it.
I thank you for your kind words in the first sentence, and I'll work better on the descriptors like you've told me.
grandparents "YOU HAs S3+ WIHT A MONSTER?!" "No I adopted him....0-0"
3336447 Oh, lol..
now that would be funny if Rarity parents assume that she had well you know to be able to have Connor.
3376248 why, of course!
3376244 Yes he is, but between the two, it's hard to tell who is worse in personality.
3385672 Thank you my friend. I knew this would be the cutest with not only the adopting of Connor by Rarity, but the care and comfort she gives him before they go to the dining hall.
3390977 Ooh,
is that spoiler maybe? 
3307234 Nah. Looks live you've already put mine in yourself. Must be pretty far up there, though, because you're still pissy.
Something tells me Magnum and Pearl will not take very kindly to Connor right away. Who knows, though? They seem like pretty cool folks.
Nutty, and Minnesota sounding....but cool.
3394343
3394365 Hmmm.. that gives me an idea my friend. Thank you for that, and I like them, they both are cool indeed. When I first saw them in Sisterhooves Social, I thought "Is that really Rarity's Dad?"
