So when does Velvet try to get so knocked up that her barrel is her bed?

Night shook his head. “They zonked out soon as they hit the mattress. Those dreamcatchers are godsends.”

Whenever i hear of those, it brings o mind the first time i had ever heard of them.

In the night sky, there are good dreams, and there are bad.
The good dreams pass through the net into the sleeping one.
The bad dreams are hopelessly caught, and perish at the first light of dawn.

The first thing about they noticed was the blueprint didn’t have the washed-out look that came from repeated use of the Copy-It spell. The crisp, fresh lines looked like they’d been drawn yesterday, the only evidence otherwise being the date in the corner. There were no photos attached, but the specs were listed as four floors, fifteen bedrooms, and twelve bathrooms. There were also three dining rooms, four dumbwaiters, three kitchens, two studies, an apothecary, a giant recreation room, and a myriad of other rooms that could be used for just about anything you could think of.

I've heard of living large, but WOW!

“YES!” Velvet leapt from her chair and caught Celestia in a bone-crushing hug. “Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!”

Celestia nearly had the wind knocked out of her. “Deja… vu...”

Velvet’s gait was slow and steady as she turned the stroller so Fae and the twins could see. “I’ve always gone by that. Not really sure why—it’s just one of those things.”

To be fair, most of the women on my mother's side of the family go by their second names.

Granted that Twilight and Shining are old enough to live on their own, how are Night and Velvet able to afford taking care of the three younger foals? Wouldn't the younger foals be Skyla and Flurry's younger aunts and uncle?

Velvet is having an effect on the mares around her. Cadance is already on foal #3 and Starlight is starting to have an urge to breed. Just makes me wonder by how much the population will explode as more mares become mommies and/having multiple offspring.
