This story is a sequel to Spike's Real Worth
Princess Luna had visited Spike in his dreams to remind him of his self-worth, but one question still remains. This being how Twilight truly views him. Is he her son? Or perhaps he was hatched to be nothing more than her assistant?
Upon Twilight's return from a difficult Friendship Mission, Spike decides the time has come for him to get an answer to this very nagging question.

This is one of the few fics that actually brought a tear to my eye! This was beautiful!

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this story. Your comment definitely helps me in knowing I did succeed where I had hoped to. Not so much to make people cry, but to feel a true sense of emotion as Spike seeks an answer to a question I hope the show itself will touch on at some point. :)
Almost brought a tear to my eye. Very well done, my friend.

It makes me happy to hear you enjoyed this work. I do love to think on those ways in which Spike is perceived by Twilight. I feel the show could really get more out of the little dragon if we had an episode, or two, in which explored this topic.
Thanks so much for your time and for the comment. :)
6527821 Of course. I've always found myself curious about Spike and Twilight's relationship towards each other; whether it was brother and sister, or mother and son.
A really touching story
Twilight Sparkle...
Mother..? Sister..? Master..? Owner..?
In many ways, Twilight is all those. She hatched him, which makes her his mother. She adopted him like a step-brother, becoming his sister. She made him her number one assistant, which makes her the Master. And, in a way, Spike resembles a pet dog, making her his owner.
One thing is certain... Twilight and Spike are family and they always will be

I've never read such a beautifully poetic take on the relationship of Spike and Twilight. Thank you very much for having shared such a deep comment that opens the doors for so many different possibilities. :)
I'd imagine it would often be very difficult for Twilight to distinguish between all the roles for which she does applicably apply to towards Spike. Big Sister would definitely work well as it'd be like she is doing for Spike like we are shown Shining Armor did for her.
Thank you again for the great comment and your time in reading this tale.
I can super imagine spike singing "What am I to you?" from adventure time to the main six with minimal lyric change
Really glad you wrote a sequel. Have a like and a fave!
This story...is...GOLD!!!
You have hit a home run with this one.
On a related note...here's a home run that literally hasn't hit the ground yet because it still on top of the scoreboard.
6527658 it came very close for me. truly beautiful. exactly how i wanted that revelation to go down. amazing...
6528633
It makes me very happy to hear you approve of the sequel. Sequels can either kill a good story, or advance it. Thanks for your time in reading and commenting. :)

Thanks so much for your time and your very kind comments. It makes me glad when I can write a story that has meaning beyond myself as a writer.
I'm also super appreciative of the video share. I loved baseball and knowing of how someone hit a homer so far that it actually got stuck in the scoreboard is epic!

Great point about the song. I looked it up and the way Finn sings it most definitely would be the way I could hear Spike singing something very similar to the Mane 6. It's quite heartfelt.
If the writers ever decide to explore this sort of route with Spike, I'd hope Daniel Ingram would do a melody like this for Spike to sing. I'm pretty sure Cathy Weseluck could easily do song lyrics in a deep, slow, and somber tone.
Many thanks for reading, commenting, and for the great reference! :)

<LoL!> Now that is one way to put it. :)
I thank you for your time in reading this story and also for leaving such a fun comment.
Twilight and Spike's relationship is indeed intriguing, and this story dealt with it beautifully.
Motherless children do have a hard time.
6530245
That's my thought, too. It is one thing to be told "You're my best friend", or "You're like family", but something completely different to hear, "I love you" and "I'm so happy you're my son."
I think people can easily forget how important the parenting role really is to a child. They may eventually grow into their own, but that love, acceptance, time, and guidance really work towards providing a strong foundation for self-esteem, self-worth, and positive social skills.
Thanks for your time in reading and for sharing your thoughts. :)
6529954 No problem. I'm a huge sucker for these kinds of stories. I love 'em!
6527943
Except owner, you twisted little fucker.
6533877 Spike doesn't belong to Twilight? He is not her responsibility?
6534291 He's not a fucking pet.
6534294 He's not an ordinary pet, that's true.
6529954
Good story man... now it's time to give us another story where Twilight and Spike spend a day or weekend as mother/son (Even Twilight putting Spike in school to make some friends of his own)
6556968
You've practically read my mind. I have a really good idea on where to go next, but need the time and proper inspiration to make it happen.
I really appreciate the time you took in reading this follow-up. Your comment is also appreciated as it helps me know what may work in a future story. Input always helps make better works. :)
Could you imagine their first mothers day after she has this revelation.
6680037
Most definitely. It'd be a very special one where, in my view, Twilight would tell her friends she and Spike were heading off to Canterlot to spend time with their old friends. It'd be a fantastic reunion filled with memories along with a close where Twi and Spike could stay in their old home together as they once did so long ago.
What do you think? Any ideas?
6685903 I was thinking the usual mother/son things. Breakfast in bed, Gifts (for Twilight and Velvet), Mother's day events, Visiting Twilight's parents, Shining Armor and cadance to tell them that Spike is to start treating him like her son again. Gifts could also be for all the missed Mother's days in which case there could be A lot of small gifts or A really big one. Along that same idea Twilight could do the same to make up for all the birthdays and hearth's warming where she treated Spike like crap. For Mother's day events think Sisterhooves social but for mothers and their children.
6686175
Those are all wonderful ideas that definitely could be put together for an amazing story! :)
Were you planning on writing a Spike & Twilight "Mother's Day" story? If not, I'd like to ask your permission to use some of these in a forthcoming story I've meant to do?
6700693 feel free to write it, I am not very good at writing. The last time I wrote a story I was told to stick to making concepts for other writers.
6700800
That's awful. I'm mortified you were told such a thing for trying to share your ideas. That's very unfair, discouraging, and hurtful.
What makes me most sad is that I can presume that someone here on FiM Fiction told you that nasty statement. As we in the fandom are to be all for "Love and Tolerance" I never can wrap my mind around how people can be so rude when all we creative types want is a little support in our talents.
When I get to writing the story, I'll be sure to credit "YOU" as it will be treated as a collaboration.
I'm hopeful you have found other places on the web to share your interest in writing that have been more accepting.
6704546 No actually, it was back on Fanfiction. Needless to say I haven't been back in ages. Although I am currently working a story about the Son of Luna why I named Shooting Star.
6704605
I'm glad the experience on "FanFiction" did not ruin your love for writing. So many folks can be terribly hurt after an event like that. I compliment you heavily on carrying on despite the heckling.
Shooting Star is a good name for the son of Luna. I hope you are having fun while getting some kind support as you pursue the story. :)
When was this said and what is the rest of it?
6740981
This was never said in the show. It's all part of an "Alternate Universe" I have developed where Twilight realizes she should've been more of a mom to Spike. :)
The rest of it is not said. It is implied she choked up over realizing she should've been more of a parent instead of a, for lack of better words, a boss.
Does this answer your question? If not, please let me know and I'll try to better clarify what you are asking. :)
Thanks for your time in reading this tale along with your comment.
6741132 Let me paraphrase. How does the rest of the quote go? '...but not with' what?
6741192
If she were to have been able to finish the sentence, it would've been. "I'm great with books, but not with those things that I can't prove, or have been proven. I got lots of advice on parenting, but no pony knew how to raise a dragon and I got so frustrated. So I did what I knew how to do, which was raise you like a student instead of as a child since I felt insecure of doing something wrong. I also was very dedicated to my studies and got very frustrated over the thought of letting Princess Celestia down due to stressing myself out over what I couldn't understand. However, parenting is something you're not meant to understand. It's something you just do. Like friendship."
Daaaaw

Thank you so much. I was really trying to build a story on feelings coupled with potential misunderstandings between studious Twilight and Spike who may not quite know what it's like to have a mother / childhood.
Many thanks for the read and comment. :)
6870859 You're welcome.
Such a sweet, heartwarming story. It's always nice to see people explore Spike's character and his role in life. You've done a great job with this and brought a happy tear to my eye.
7557087
Thanks so much for reading and sharing your thoughts. I genuinely appreciate it. :)
There's so much to be explored with Spike. Even if the show barely touches on it, I know we fans can always find a way to help flesh out his thoughts and feelings beyond being Twilight's "#1 Assistant".
Warm and adorable.
6527943
Funny bc in equistria girls spike actually was a dog
