Equestrian Eeveelution.

Play Date.

A few weeks had passed since Cy's evolution, and Lulu and I had felt a stirring. We had met up in the Daycare with spare towels, and placed them in the clearest areas we could. Obviously, Lulu got the largest clear area.

Fifteen minutes of screaming and pushing, and two new eggs joined our clutch. Mine was tinted purple with green flecks, while Lulu's had a more pinkish hue.

"Why can't that get easier?" Lulu groaned, coiling around her newest egg.

I stretched my sore stomach across my egg's shell. "Oh, yeah? You're three times my size, and our eggs are still the same size. Imagine how I feel." I panted. "Here's a hint: very much ow."

"You have my sympathies, dear." Lulu looked around the Daycare. "I really hope that we don't get any more surprise eggs. We're starting to run out of room."

"I'm just glad that they don't grow this large until they come out." I weakly laughed. "Could you imagine if I had to roll everywhere?"

"We'd have to carry you in here, then put some chocks in so you don't roll back out." We both chuckled for a bit.

"Oh, the feeling's coming back." I groaned

"Come again?"

"Heh, maybe later." I slowly stretched my hind legs out. "I think I lost feeling in my hind legs for a while there. Thankfully, the damn egg was mostly out."

Lulu nodded. "That's why you slumped onto your side near the end."

We heard someone make their way up the ramp. "Is this a bad time?" Zann asked.

I shook my head as Lulu replied. "No, we're just recovering now."

"You guys think you'll be able to walk in a little bit?" Zann's tail started wagging.

"Give her a bit." Lulu giggled, waving a paw at me. "She laid a rather large egg, after all."

I joined Lulu in giggling. "I should be fine in a few minutes. Why? What's up?"

Zann started vibrating, his tail lashing in exictement. "Mrs. Cake just went into labour! We're going to have foals!"

"Yay." I tiredly cheered.

Lulu smiled. "You know that it's the Cakes who are having the foal, you and Pinkie are more like aunts and uncles."

"I know! But I'm still excited!" Zann's grin could've split his head apart with how wide it got. "If only the nurses would let me into the hospital... But I get to meet them when they come home!"

"Okay." I tiredly sighed. "Just remember, Pound and Pumpkin are foals, so they're going to be fragile. Be careful when you're playing with them. Let them come to you in their own time, and be gentle with them. And don't panic when Pound starts flying or you get caught up in Pumpkin's telekinesis." I yawned. "They're just playing, and don't know any better. When they get older, they may use you as a walking aid, so be prepared for that."

"Also be prepared for the odd chance you're puked, peed or drooled on." Lulu cut in.

Zann chuckled with a roll of his eye. "Yes, moms."

"Bleh, too tired for witty rejoinder." I muttered before sleep claimed me.

---

It had been a few days since the laying, and the foals had come home. Sadly, I had not had the opportunity to visit, I had spent the time blasting rogue weather form the Everfree. I scratched at the back door, and waited to be let in. It took a couple of scratches and a bark, but Pinkie did let me in.

"Leo, hi!" She dragged me in. "Do you want to meet the twins?"

"She'll have to wait." Mr. Cake slumped into the kitchen. "We just got them to lie down for a nap."

<<I can wait.>> I nodded, barking softly.

"If you want to wait for them to wake up, you can rest with Zann in the foals' room." He yawned, pointing up the stairs. "Third door on the left. It's been left open, so you can go right on in."

I nodded, and slowly made my way up the stairs. It took me longer than I thought it would, but I usually fly up the damn things anyways. I spotted the room right away, listening to the soft chimes of a music box drifting from the room. I crept my way in, spotting Zann lying under the crib. I snuck my way over to him, curling myself against his side.

"Hey." He whispered. "Didn't hear you come in."

I gave him a smile. "Didn't want to wake the foals. How have they been?"

"A right pawful." He softly chuckled. "I've taken to sleeping in here because I'm the only one they reliably wake up at night. Pinkie just sleeps through them."

I arched an eyebrow. "Don't they have a baby monitor?"

"They do." He nodded at it. "But the Cakes get worn out fairly quickly after taking care of them and the store all day. Thankfully, Pinkie told them to put a notice on the door telling ponies that the bakery will be running on reduced hours for the next while.

"She had to convince them that the hit in profits will be worth raising the foals right. Honestly, I'm glad they agreed to it. They were starting to look a little haggard..." Zann yawned. "I've also started sleeping like you."

"How do you mean?" I asked. I turned to look at him as he let out a soft snore. "I'm not like that." I huffed.

I rested as I waited for the foals to wake up. It took a few hours, and they woke up crying, but I got to finally meet them. Mrs. Cake had put them down into the suspiciously large playpen, placing Zann and I in on the far side. I lay on my stomach to let the foals come to me. Zann hobbled forward to meet the foals.

<<Hi guys,>> he chripped, <<I have a new friend for you to meet.>>

The babies gurgled. Zann slowly led the foals over to me. I lay there as they clambered all over me. I rolled an eye to check for Mrs. Cake. She sat nearby , keeping an eye on us.

<<It's a little odd, being bigger than them.>> I remarked, flicking my tail in and out of Pumpkin's reach.

<<I know what you mean.>> Zann chuckled. << I had just gotten used to being the same size as the Crusaders, then we- Oof!>> Pound had lived up to his name and stomped on Zann's gut. <<This still takes some getting used to.>> he wheezed.

I looked back at Pumpkin, who had caught my tail and was happily chewing on it. <<I'll bet.>> I chuckled as Mrs. Cake lightly scolded the twins. Pumpkin climbed over my back to nibble at my ear. <<With all the love you're getting from them,>> I giggled, <<I wouldn't be surprised if you become a Sylveon.>> I got up and began walking around, letting the foal steer me around with my ears.

<<No Fairy type move.>>

<<That assumes you need one.>> I began bouncing off the playpen's walls, waiting for Pumpkin to pick a new direction. Eventually, she steered me to Mrs. Cake. <<Has the episode happened yet?>>

Zann shook his head, Pound giggling and trying to catch the flopping ears. <<Nope. It will in a couple of days, they just made the catering arrangements this morning.>>

<<Good on them. Let us know if you need a hand.>> I flicked my tail at him, lightly booping Pound's nose. He turned to follow the new toy, only to be picked up by Mrs. Cake as well.

"It's time for us to go for a walk." She cooed. She focused on us. "Would you like to come with us?"

I nodded, hopping out of the playpen, turning to pull the wall down for Zann. We spent the rest of the day following the Cakes around on their relaxing stroll.

oh baby! babies

I arched an eyebrow. "Don't they have a baby moniter?"

"They do." He nodded at it.

Huh? Didn't know that. Why didn't Shining use it for Flurry Heart instead of traveling and asking Twilight to babysit her?

Because a baby monitor is no substitute for a baby sitter?

You just keep throwing curveballs, don’t you, Symph? Cy pointed out all the evidence for Leo to be Jolteon, but he became one instead, Zann doubts his ability to become Sylveon, but does that mean anything?

Oh well. Two more days til I get to work on the doc. I hope you’re still getting use out of it anyway, although it seems like recent chapters have been clearing out the remaining theory info I had.

Actually, I do use it. It's a handy reference to who has what moves. Also, next chapter's going up hot on the trail of this comment, and I'll get the next one after that up as soon as I can.

Three chapters in two days? When your muse comes, it doesn’t just take hold, it grabs you and runs!

[Jirodyne]

Which is good. Better than having the whole story written, but releasing chapters once a week or every other week still.

Or he's expecting us to think he's trying the same thing.

[corytheodst]

<< Oof!>> .

My life has been ruiened by memes the first thing i thought when i read that was the roblox death sound ......

[Greatazuredragon]

<<With all the love you're getting from them,>> I giggled, <<I wouldn't be surprised if you become a Sylveon.>> I got up and began walking around, letting the foal steer me around with my ears.

I've been hoping he gets that eeveelution for a while, so I hope it happens!

Not to mention watching the research duo wondering exactly why the new pink furry critter is completely imune to Spike's fire-breath after an accident or another would be glorious.
