Ch.4 Telling Them

The next day, Caramel decided to live at Sweet Apple Acres with Applejack. Then Applejack decided to tell her friends. At first they were shocked, but then they were happy for her.

"So have you thought of any names?", asked Twilight

"Well if its a filly were gonna name her Apple Heart, after my mom. And if its a colt were gonna name him Orange Slice, after my father", explained Applejack

"OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH. IM GONNA THROW YOU A BABY SHOWER", yelled Pinkie in delight

"Whoa there nelly, I dont even know if it's gonna be a colt or a filly", explained Applejack

"Then why don't you go see", suggested Rarity

"No, Its an Apple Family tradition to wait and see what gender the baby is, when its born", explained Applejack

"That doesn't mean you can't have a neutral baby shower…I mean if that's ok with you", suggested Fluttershy

"You know, your right Fluttershy. Ok, a baby shower it is", announced Applejack

"YAY", yelled Pinkie who jumped in the air

The next couple months were stressful and exciting. Everyday Applejack kept vomiting and getting light headed and she looked bigger. Then the Apple Family and Caramel packed up and headed towards the Apple Family Reunion in Appleloosa. When they got off the train, the Apple Family were greeted by thousands of Applejack's relatives. Then Applejack's cousin "Braeburn" got on stage and started talking into a microphone.

"Howdy y'all Im Braeburn, and welcome to this years Apple Family Reunion. Now before we begin my cousin Applejack has an announcement to make she brought a special somepony with her", announced Braeburn

Applejack and Caramel walked on stage with eagerness on their minds.

"Thank you Braeburn. Howdy y'all Im Applejack. Im sure y'all remember me from last years reunion, but today I have a special announcement…Im pregnant", announced Applejack

"YEEHAW", cheered the Apple Family

"Yup, and this here is my special somepony and the father of my foal and future member of the Apple Family, Caramel", announced Applejack

Then Caramel gave a shy smile and the Apple Family cheered. Then they enjoyed their time in Appleloosa. Big Mac was making apple fritters with his uncle. Applebloom was playing with her cousin "Babs seed" who got her cutie mark too. It was a yellow seed inside of a brown seed. Granny was making the quilt with her cousin "Apple Rose". Applejack's dog "Winona" was running with the buffalo tribe. And Applejack and Caramel were walking through the Apple Acres.

"So this is the Apple orchard, its nice", complimented Caramel

"Yeah, alot of family here", explained Applejack

"Because they always work on the trees?", asked Caramel

"No. You see Mel, whenever we lose a family member, we usually plant a tree here so that their roots will remain", explained Applejack

"Oh", said Caramel

"See those two trees? Those are my parents Apple Heart and Orange Slice", explained Applejack pointing to two Apple trees. One with a mark an apple in the shape of a heart on it, which was Apple Heart's cutie mark. And the other had a mark with an orange with a slice taken out of it on it, which is Orange slices cutie mark.

"Oh no, how did they pass?", asked Caramel

"Well, my friend Rarity and I were crossing a rickety draw bridge across a canyon. I made it across, but when Rarity was almost there the bridge started to snap and she started to fall. My ma and pa made it to save her, but they couldn't save themselves. So they fell down the canyon and…died. I was about Applebloom's age when that happened and she was just a baby at the time. The only thing I have to remember them is this hat. It use to beling to my mom. Ever since that incident, Rarity and I have barely spoken until Twilight came along.", explained Applejack tearing up

"Applejack Im so sorry", said Caramel nuzzling her

"Im fine Mel, now c'mon I wanna show you my favorite tree", said Applejack

Applejack and Caramel kept walking until they reached a tree with a mark of a tree with a happy face on it.

"That there is my pappy "Bloomburg". He was Granny's husband. When my parents passed he was the only pony that made me happy, until one day he died in his sleep", explained Applejack

"He must've been really special", said Caramel

"He was, but I have someone else who makes me happy now", said Applejack

"Who?", asked Caramel

"You sugarcube", said Applejack

"Oh right", said Caramel blushing

"Your so silly", said Applejack nuzzling him

"Not as silly as you, sugarcube", replied Caramel

"Hey, you can't say that. Only I call ponies sugarcube", said Applejack

Applejack and Caramel spent the rest of the reunion being lovey dovey. Then after a long day, the Apple Family went home and went to sleep.
