Family
“So… right there?” Rainbow Dash asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously at the pony across a desk from her. Her hoof motioned to a thin, dotted line at the bottom of a piece of parchment lying on the desk.
“Yep.” The pony smiled back, motioning to a quill and ink jar next to the paper.
“So, just sign here and it’s done?” Rainbow asked again, asking sure she was totally clear with what she had to do.
“Everything else went fine, so this is all that’s left.” She smiled again, pushing the quill a little closer to the rainbow maned pegasus.
“And you’re alright with this?” Rainbow asked, for what felt like hundredth time, as she turned to the lavender unicorn sitting next to her. Twilight simply smiled and rested a hoof on her cyan shoulder. With a flick of her horn she levitated the quill to her friend and placed it next to her head.
“Go on.” She said encouragingly, glancing towards the document beside them. Taking a deep breath Rainbow grabbed the quill out of the air with her mouth and dipped in the jar of ink. One more deep breath stopped her trembling jaw enough fro her to write her name on the dotted line. A second later, she pulled her head away from the paper and admired her signature for a second before the quill glowed with a light purple aura and floated back down to the paper, writing another signature. She admired the names on the sheet; Rainbow Sparkle Dash and Twilight Dash Sparkle.
“Thank you. Both of you are now Scootaloo’s legal guardians. I can tell she’ll have a good home with you two.” The pony smiled and rolled up the scroll in a butter yellow glow before depositing the document in her briefcase. Twilight leaned over and enveloped Rainbow in a hug, resting their heads together. She smiled comforting at her cyan wife, nothing but love in the lavender pools ponies called eyes.
“I’ll go get her, one moment please.” The pony retreated through the door to the main body of the Ponyville Orphanage. Rainbow looked uncertainly at Twilight.
“And you’re sure you’re okay with this? You’re not doing this just because I want to?” Twilight giggled and kissed Dash on the tip of her nose.
“I already told you, Dash, I want this as much as you do.” Rainbow visibly relaxed at the words just as the door opened again.
“So what’s up?” Scootaloo asked as she walked through the door, looking up to the pony in charge of the orphanage she lived in though her eyes quickly switched to her idol. “Rainbow Dash?” She asked excitedly.
“Hey squirt, what’s up?” Dash asked, giving a playful noogie to the filly as she rushed up and gave the older mare a hug.
“Scootaloo, you’ve been adopted.” Scootaloo looked up quizzically to the mare standing in the doorway.
“I have? By who?” The answer came in the form of a nod, towards Rainbow Dash.
“No way…” She took a step back from her idol and looked up, her eyes moistening slightly as she looked in disbelief. “Seriously?”
“Well, ever since me an’ Twi got married, we’ve been considering having a foal. For a while we considered… other methods, but we agreed adoption was the easiest way, and who better to adopt than not only my biggest fan, but my little sister?” Rainbow smiled widely at the orange pegasus, who returned a tearful grin before jumping up and wrapping her hooves around Rainbow’s neck.
-_-_-_-
“So, do I have to call you mom now?” Scootaloo asked from atop Rainbow’s back as they trotted towards the library.
“Hmm? Oh, I guess that’s up to you, I’m not gonna force anything like that on you, and neither is Twilight, right Twi?” Rainbow turned her head to look at the unicorn trotting next to her, who smiled and nodded towards the filly riding on her back.
“Hmm…” Scootaloo rubbed her chin thoughtfully before looking back to Rainbow. “Mom?” She said slowly, sounding out the word slowly. “Mom? Mom… mom…” She repeated it a few more times; rolling the sound over in her mind and pairing it with the image she already had of Rainbow Dash. For some reason, it seemed to fit perfectly in her mind.
“Yeah, I think I’ll call you mom now.” She smiled happily, glancing over to Twilight. She repeated the process again, trying to match the title with the pony. Once again, the name stuck. And she smiled widely at both of her adoptive parents.
“How about that, Twi, we’re both ‘mom’ now.” Rainbow chuckled, smiling almost as widely as the filly riding on her back. Twilight giggled with her, smiling up at the orange pegasus filly.
-_-_-_-
“Mom’s, I’m home!’ Scootaloo called as she walked through the library door. Her saddlebags loaded with school work were quickly taken off her back and rested on the floor next to a coat hanger.
“Mom’s?” Twilight asked quizzically, glancing up from her book to look at her newly found daughter.
“Well, from what I’ve seen from Sweetie Belle, she normally says ‘mom, dad I’m home’ but I can’t exactly do that, and ‘mom, mom, I’m home’ just sounds weird.” She explained matter-of-factly. Twilight just giggled quietly.
“I suppose so.” She sighed happily as she placed a bookmark in the tomb she had been reading a closed it with a thud. “How about a snack? I didn’t eat lunch.” She offered, the filly nodding happily.
“Sound’s like a great idea, Twi.” Dash said, fluttering own the stairs with the aid of her wings. She flew past her wife for a quick kiss before gliding over to Scootaloo. “Hey Scoot’s, how’s school?” She asked, giving a light noogie to the filly, before landing on her hooves.
-_-_-_-
Rainbow rolled over in her bed, coming face to face with a pair of closed eyes. She smiled at the site of her sleeping wife before extending a hoof to draw the unicorn close to her chest.
“Mmm… Rainbow?” She asked groggily, her eyes fluttering open to look into a pair of magenta orbs.
“Heh, sorry, Twi, didn’t mean to wake you.” Rainbow apologized, as she took advantage of the fact that Twilight was now awake by shuffling a little closer. For a time they stayed silent, their breathing was the only noise amongst the quiet library. Eventually, Rainbow broke the silence.
“Twi, you ever have any regrets?” Rainbow asked quietly, her mind fearing the answer. Twilight smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips for a brief second.
“My only regret is not asking you out sooner.”
You know... I'm a huge fan of Twidash and Scootaloo... And i'm happy to inform that this chapter is only the second one of the only two in existence ( or that i'm aware of) in which Scootaloo is adopted by Twilight and Rainbow... And i'm proud to say that i love it...
I'm a big fan of her not being able to fly over not having a family if she needs a "sad" feature to her character. Being a cripple might explain why she was abandoned, too, if you really feel like being a jerk to her, though arguably it would make her lack of a downtrodden personality rather sweet.
I've never read a Twidash where they have a child, though; I'd certainly give it a try if you wrote it. There's not enough good writing about the two after marriage. Would the adoption be the beginning of the story, or the end?

If I wrote it, I would have the adoption be right around the middle. I was planning on having an actual plot, and have the romance and adoption as more of sub plot to the over arching story line, with an antagonist and everything. But currently I'm just tossing a few ideas around, so nothing's set in stone as of yet.

I've found two where Scootaloo is adopted, other then this one, but there are probably some other Rainbow ships that have Scootaloo getting adopted, I know there are quite a few RainbowxAplplejack fics with it.
I'd be all for it if planned out into a full on fic. It's Something pretty unique that I've never seen.
Hello Kodeake, look at my avatar, now back to me, now back at my avatar, now back to me. Sadly, I haven't written a fic about my avatar, but you have. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat, the SS Twidash. I'm favoriting this chapter so hard my computer just exploded. Anything is possible when you write a TwiDash Scootadopt fic. I'm on a pony.
Seriously though, awesome stuff.

Waaait... there's another Twidash Scootadopt fic?! Where?! I needs it! I will give you a million Pinkie Pie clones for it!
2474808
Sounds good. I'm glad you were considering it as only part of a story, because there should be more to a longer story beyond the fluffy romance/adoption (even if the fluff is great).
Just wow you update very often, inspiration rush?
I always felt like scootadoption was the logical end point of a twidash fic (assuming the prerequisite scootaloo orphan and no homosexual reproduction)
2475078
combination of a huge unflux of inspiriation and procrastination on my contest entry fic, which I really need to go and write...
2474870
Always did love those comercials for some reason...
Anyway, from the response I've gotten, it looks like I'll be writing it at some point. of course, I still have 4 other fics in the development stage, but if I give this one a nice, solid plot it'll go right to the front of the line, so I'm off the brainstorm ideas!

Aaaaand there you go... Hope you enjoy it...
Here the change to your Pinkies...

The way you call it a subplot worries me somewhat. While I wouldn't be averse to reading a fic where Twi and Dash adopt Scootaloo, adoption is a heavy issue that deserves more than passing attention.
So, basically, it's fine if it isn't the main plot, as long as it isn't an "and then they adopted her and everything was happy forever and ever :D". That's fine in the context of this chapter since it's just a 1000 word one-off chapter, but in the context of a longer not-pure-fluff fic, I wouldn't particularly want to read it. Your a/n leads me to believe that you wouldn't do this, but the word "subplot" kinda scared me.
A bit late to the party but oh well.
I'd be all for a TwiDash+ScootAdopt story, sounds like it'd be a good read.
So, realy want to know:
You meant the methods that lesbian couples can use in our world, or you meant what I think you meant?

Depends. In our world the options are still fairly limited, so--
Yeah no; I'm not gonna bullshit my way outta this one. I'm just massively into futa.
Kodeake and here goes the author of my dream
