Shadowmane PX-41


Just your average british lad. I write things for a living. It’s the strangest living you’ll ever find, second only to my inability to take myself off of the grid.

T

In another universe, there was no Alicorn Amulet. There was no portal to Canterlot High, there was no Battle of the Bands, nor any equal town.

Instead, Twilight Sparkle became a mother of five little babies: Adagio Dazzle, Sunset Shimmer, Moondancer, Trixie Lulamoon, and Starlight Glimmer. All of whom she loves so much.

When they're not making her life a living hell, that is...

Always look on the bright side of life... (bird chirps) Come on.

This might come as a surprise to absolutely no-one, but handling a kid is much harder than you'd be able to imagine.

Welcome to motherhood Twilight. Welcome to motherhood.

Interesting concept, though are the other Mane 6 involved at all in this story? Also I was half expecting Flash to either run out on Twilight the way things were described or die, that seemed to be the vibe I was getting.

It's still an entertaining concept, just curious.

Welcome to motherhood Twilight. Welcome to motherhood.

I believe you mean WELCOME TO HELL TWILIGHT

8163248 FIMFiction only allows 5 character tags.

So, if this is their "first day", the girls wouldn't have teeth, or be crawling around... or have much hair, for that matter... and why would FlashLight think that Adagio would grow up with a singing talent, when everyone else is intellectual? And Trixie's "normal name", when everyone else in the world has names nothing like that? You may want to change things in the first entry :twilightblush:

Feels like Twilight's breaking the fourth wall, but it makes sense as this one's a recording-style narration. If taking care of one or two babies is hard, what Twilight's doing is a nightmare.

8163265 I don't know much about babies. When I said that they were chewing, I meant with their gums. Their little gums were doing all the work. In addition, when you're a baby, toddler, and young kid, your parents have a massive influence on what you can grow up to become. So when Adagio gets older, Twilight will introduce her to the world of singing.

Also, do you remember Steven Magnet and Donut Joe?

8163269 Yeah, I probably know a weird amount about babies for a thirteen-year-old... :rainbowderp: Chewing with gums is usually called gumming, I think. I hope the others will try their hand (voice??) at singing too when they see Twi and Dagi, and vice-versa! :twilightsmile:

Yeah, I remember them, why?? :trixieshiftright:

8163302 Steven and Joe were the two other ponies with human names. Trixie was the third one.

i like this story already, even thought that the five babies make your life a living hell you still love them right twilight? at least i hope so

I'm just going to leave a :pinkiehappy: and a thumbs up.

Huh, yeah, although Steven could be a name in a different species (he is a sea serpent), and 'Joe' could be in relation to the slang for coffee... Your argument is still entirely valid (I have a tendency to over-analyse...) :twilightangry2:

Speaking as the father of four, including twin girls... You skipped the first year, the 'Cant hold their head up cries a lot and poops and demands feeding and tries their best to daisy chain their awake times so one is always up while one is resting for their turn and tends to turn into a four-way demand for attention between the older ones and the babies who all resent not getting 100% parent time and which one is running a fever now' time. And that's just the first day back from the hospital.

Oh, and you skipped right over childbirth and the runup to it. With five, she must have been a spherical Twilight Sparkle of uniform density (physics joke). My wife was literally as big around as she was tall with the twins. 38 weeks before delivery. She would come through a door and it was like Moses parting the Red Sea. People would *move* out of her way, and drag other people along with them. 8#3oz and 7#13oz at delivery.

think its hard now. wait till they get older and can talk back

*Reads description*
Here's a like and fav!

I would have liked it, but I hate the FlashLight ship or any ship from the show because it feels like it's shoved down our throats. I'm not going to dislike the story but I think your efforts are best suited elsewhere.

Twilight have defiently gotten her biggest challenge ever

Smart choice making Flash the husband and father. You know, now that I think about it, I haven't read that many stories that actually have the two of them married with children. I'll be keeping an eye on this story for now.

Twilight, Twilight, Twilight wait till they are all teenagers and want cars. You will be wishing for these days.

As it would turn out, seven babies can be a living hell. All that was missing was Satan, the heavy metal music, the screaming souls trapped for eternity, and the rivers of pure lava...

Jesus Twi-Twi. :twilightoops:

And oh poor Twilight. Yeah sorry honey, this is what its like to be a parent. Its not all fun and games.

This fic keeps reminding me of:
'Star vs the forces of evil' "Starsitting"

........... so who should tell twi that having them as this is 10x's better then them as teen's??

Well i have to say that Pound and Pumpkin where brats in this chapter mainly Pound for what he did to Sunset

Also

Twilight has no idea what she is in for when they become Teen's. . .

8179702 A solution. Send most of them to a boarding when they're early teens and left only one to stay.

:rainbowderp: ....... I have no idea on how to answer that. I really don't.

Why haven't they hired a nanny yet or asked for help from their family and friends? I am sure the older CMC could be roped into helping out.

I like this...though it is kinda cringy at times. Maybe the descriptions of the babies and taking care of them are a bit much at times. Either way, this is good. Have an upvote!

Also, why are there this many downvotes? I couldn't find anything really wrong with the story...

They should consider hiring a nanny. Just sayin.

8286965
I'm not even sure a nanny could handle the babies.....

"Will do, sir," Flash kissed his ass before we moved on.

You should change that to "Flash said"; it's not really ass kissing, and it brings the wrong image to mind.

Just wait for when they can talk Twilight, then it will be a true hell

I just realized something of vague, if negligible, import: considering Sunset's relationship with Flash pre-EqG, but post-FoSS, how is that going to be addressed? A short, unfulfilled, creepy crush that goes nowhere? I imagine that it's going to be dismissed, and not integrated, in any fashion, into the story. Well, except that she, perhaps, will be more of a daddy's girl; boom! No need to explore the dramatic, controversial topic of incest, in any of it's forms!

Either way, to the next chapter with me!

Hail Hydra.

I hope this'll grt an update soon! It's awesome, and a really great idea! :pinkiehappy:

I'm mildly interested in this, but I'd rather not read it if it's dead.

I’ve got a lot of things going on personally right now. I’ll get back to this as soon as I can, though.

Great to see this story back! Now I wonder who could be hired as a nanny to help out Twilight? Pinkie, Wallflower, or someone else?

9170755
id personally prefer wallflower, but thats just me.

Yikes, family fun all around.

8163738
So I take it you hate the fact mrs. Cake is married to Mr. Cake.

Or any couple from any show for that matter


That's what I get from your complaint.

Sofry, but there's something wrong with a mother who loves one of their children more then the others and hopen they succeed more then the restimate of them. Those kinds of mom's need to have their kids removed from them.

9171707
Dude that was over a YEAR ago. Besides you're comparing apples to oranges, I dislike the forced coupling of two ponies to the point where there's literally NOTHING compelling about it. Twilight liking Flash Sentry is like her fucking her brother. They're TOO similar IN MY OPINION.

9833724
I can't think of something to write. Nothing's dead here.

This is cute, adorable and hilarious at the same time. I love it.

Interesting to see this story return. I wonder if they would hire a nanny because they are just completely overwhelmed.
