Chapter Two
As I sleep peacefully during the night I hear a scream which causes me to immediately shoot up in bed. I remove my sleeping mask and quickly climb off my bed to trot in front of it where I see Connor sitting up trembling. He has his hind legs folded up against his chest and hugs them close to him with his head in his forelegs.
I look down at the little colt worriedly as I carefully sit down on my haunches beside him and place a hoof gently on his shoulder. He looks up at me with fear in his eyes as tears start to prick the edges and his lower lip quivering. I stroke his back to try and calm him down until he does something that melts my heart. He scoots close to me and wraps his little forelegs around my free foreleg and lays his head against it whimpering.
Although this gesture melts my heart it also breaks it, because of the pain I can sense coming from the small child. I use my hoof to gently stroke along his side as I look down at him clinging to my foreleg like he is afraid of losing me. I feel tears sting my own eyes as I watch him shake like a leaf.
While I stroke his side he looks up at me allowing his tears to cascade down his cheek “M-Ms Rarity I-I’m sorry for waking you. P-please forgive me,” he unwrap his forelegs around me and folds his hooves in his lap lowering his head. My heart aches even more for the poor little thing so I continue to stroke his side.
“Connor, can you look at me please?” I speak as softly as I can as he raises his head to look up at me and I see a frown on his face. I softly close my eyes a bit to subdue the tears that threaten to shed and I let out a deep sigh. I open them up and look down warmly at him “Now little one, there is nothing to apologize for, okay?”
He nods lightly “Y-yes Ma’am,” he reaches up with one of his forelegs to wipe away his tears as I give him a sad smile. I can feel that this sweet child has been hurt deeply, but I don’t know what could have caused him so much pain. I shake the thought out of my head, because I don’t want to bother Connor with barraging him with a lot of questions.
As I sit on my haunches a he sit up against my fore leg, it reminds me of how my little sister Sweetie Belle would act after having a bad dream. I continue to gently stroke along Connor’s side as I feel him start to calm his shaking a little more and I look down at him “Connor, if it is okay for me to ask, did you have a bad dream?”
He nods as I see him carefully wrap his forelegs around mine again. I gently lift my hoof to stroke at his mane as I try to think of what to do for this small child to ease his fears. An idea pops in my head and I look down at Connor with a warm smile as I carefully levitate him up turning him gently onto his back. I raise my foreleg so it is underneath him and I slowly levitate him onto it with his head resting in the crook.
I sit back fully on my haunches as I lift my other foreleg up underneath the other one as I cradle him close to my chest fur. He looks up at me with a light smile with his little fore hooves folded together. I begin to slowly rock him in my forelegs as I give him a warm smile “I used to do this all the time with my little sister Sweetie Belle when she had nightmares Connor,” I lean my head down to lightly nuzzle at his cheek.
I see his smile grow a little and a blush come upon his cheeks. He looks up at me with the softest of blue eyes I have ever seen “M-Ms Rarity, is your sister nice like you?” His voice still so small as he asks.
A look of curiosity forms on my face, but I look down at him and nod “Oh yes darling, Sweetie Belle is very nice. I promise you will get to meet her and I know she will be happy to meet you,” I let out a small giggle as I continue to rock the little colt. I see him let out a soft yawn as he blinks his little eyes tiredly and I carefully nuzzle at his cheek one last time. I watch him softly close his eyes and I continue to rock him a little bit longer.
Making sure he is sleeping peacefully in my forelegs I look down at the makeshift bed and then at my bed as a thought occurs “Maybe just for tonight. Yes just for tonight, and I will try to find him a nicer and more comfortable place to sleep,” I carefully levitate him from my forelegs so not to disturb him and I trot over to climb onto my bed.
I lie down on my side and outstretch a foreleg as I levitate the little colt over to me. I lower him onto my bed and curl my foreleg around his small form as if I was cradling him. I pull the blankets over us and I nuzzle lightly at the top of his head as I see him curl up in my foreleg. I feel my tears start to sting my eyes once more as I see Connor smile softly as he sleeps.
“No Rarity, this is just temporary. You are unable to keep a colt, because you have a successful fashion business and you won’t have enough time to look after him,” I sigh contently for this is true. As I look at him I can’t help but smile “But he is just so precious and well-mannered. Yet when he talks, his voice is so small and broken, that I can feel he has been hurt,” I close my eyes softly to prevent my tears from trying to escape again.
Another sigh of content escapes my lips as I open my eyes back up to look at the little colt sleeping soundly cradled in my foreleg. I think to myself as I look at him “What in Equestria happened to you little darling?” I give him a sad smile as I let out a soft of my own. I give Connor one more light nuzzle on the cheek before closing my eyes to go to sleep.
A single tear falls and lands onto my pillow.

2962451 Well, what can I say, I always thought it would be sweet with a young child going to or being brought to Equestria where he meets the Mane Six, princesses, CMC, etc. Also, not make the child like big or threatening.
2962468 Indeed.
2962483 I truly agree, that is another reason I decided to write these stories.
2962491 In a way yes, but I am going to aim for it to be somewhat different.
2962494 Thank you very much always my friend, and I had a feeling the description would get readers wondering.
2962544 Haha.. yes that is okay, just please don't go flutterrage all on me.
2962653 Thank you very much, and I promise it isn't going to be a direct copy.
2962710 Thank you very much.
2962744 Yes it is, but the question is, is she up to the task?
2962752 Thank you and yes Rarity it is your chance to take the role of a mother figure.
2962781 Thank you my friend.
2962881 Lol.. well, what can I say I aim for the feels.
2963166 yes it is, thank you.
2963189 I understand.
2963249 Lol.. Well, I hope that doesn't happen you having a stroke. I wouldn't want to be the cause of that.
2963268 Your stories are worth the flowing of feels
so many feels i can't take it
2963366 Thank you very much, that means a lot.
2963482 Haha.. what can I say, I always aim for the feels.
I'm not sure if his parents are really really good at teaching him manners or if he was subject to serious abuse and this is his way of avoiding getting hit.
2963674 Well, in a later chapter I am going to reveal why he is like the way he is. The case in a way is like Toby's from "A New Home", but I think it might be just a very very very slight bit more painful although I think anything could top Toby's pain he endured in the past.
aiming for the feels already? will I need tissues later on?
i got a question are you going to be working on chapters for this story and chapters for A New Home II: A Queen's Revenge at the same time
2963934 I might appear crazy, but yes. I am going to get started on Chapter Ten of "A New Home II" and try to get it done by tonight, then work on Chapter Three of "Heart of Diamonds" tomorrow. My mind is like a well-oiled machine right now.
2963898 Well, in a way yes, but going to be much different.
2963894 You might.
2964548 ok and you are not crazy to me
2964990 oh, gosh, I hope it is okay to use your name in this story.
It was hard for me to decide on a name for the child in this story so my friend midnightshadow1 came up with it, and I liked it. 
My heart can't take it!
connor i give you a gift to protect you during the night and keep nightmares away upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/82/Black_and_White_Wolves.jpg/220px-Black_and_White_Wolves.jpg
2965128 And it is only the second chapter
2965270 Great protectors of the night indeed wolves are.
2965335 Thank you. hehe. I know, I might go back and change them into a different sounding way.
I'm not sure why but I think a crossover between this story's universe and A New Home's would be a pretty cool idea. Aside from all the feels
2965738 Hmm.. I might think about that as a separate story, thank you very much for that idea.
2965952 yeah I just think Connor and Toby would be good friends who are awesome gentlemen
I have to ask, when does this take place?
2966778
read the first story.
LOL, it should have been discord!
2966778 This takes place before Toby's time and before Twilight becomes an alicorn princess.
2966053 Oh, indeed. Both are very exceptional gentlemen for their young age.
2966968 Lol..
2967377 I understand, thank you though, constructed criticism I accept.
2967555
Okay....
1. That doesn't give me a clear indication. This means that this story takes place in between nightmare moon and twilicorn.
2.WHERE DO YOU LIVE?! ARE YOU JUST NOW WAKING UP?!
3.and about the 'you being nice thing' I only speak the truth.
2967566 Oh, okay.
1. This story takes place after Twilight is sent to Ponyville by Celestia, and after The Mane Six defeats Nightmare Moon. I hope that is a little better.
2. I live in the Southeast, South Carolina to be exact if I may. It is 5:21 am here, and I woke up at 4:30, because of my darn cat begging me to feed him.
3. Well, I do speak the truth, but only if you get me mad, or may I say I speak my mind.
2967599
1.thanks for the insight!
2.we live relatively close! I live in Tennessee!
3.ahhhhh cats....the only house hold pet that doesn't abide by the laws of nature!
4.I didnt go to sleep yet....
2967627>>2967599 HAHA I WIN!
I live in Australia xD currently 10:50 PM when I posted this, anyways gotta go, school tomorrow :)
Ooh, another Adopt a Human story!
Although please don't make this too 'cutsey-wutesy' like A New Home. No offense, but... that story went a little overboard with the cuteness. 
2968747 Don't worry, I am going try not to. I don't plan on making Rarity do too much nuzzling or saying sweetie to Connor, but being caring toward him and trying to comfort him enough to see if she can get him to talk about what happened to him. Although he is only five.
2968809 Oh, and, call me weird, but I can't help but imagine Connor as the kid from The Sixth Sense.
2968070
Alright! Look out for everything that will generally kill you!
2968937 I guess you can say that, because he is blonde headed.
For the love of Celestia DO NOT CROSS THIS FIC WITH A NEW HOME FOR THE LOVE OF CELESTIA, PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU!
.
This is an interesting direction you're going here with Rarity adopting a human. To my knowledge there aren't any stories of Rarity adopting a human while there's plenty of stories of Fluttershy and even the Apple family adopting one, so this is a nice change of pace.
2972318 Lol.. don't worry, I won't.
2973567 Thank you very much. I made Rarity like a second mother in a way to Toby in "A New Home" although she was one of his aunts. But I have something special planned for this story that will leave I believe tears in my readers' eyes.
2969229 Haha! I was just talking about that with my parents yesterday, we were watching a TV show about a british dude in Australia, and he was saying how almost all the animals here can kill you really quickly lol xD
Oh god... I seem to have come down with the feels....
jk
I don't know if I should "DAWWWWW
" or cry
I don´t mind to have a child like Toby again, and i don´t have any other ideas, but maybe the next child you use, should have different problems.
I like the story so far.

3079564
