#25 of Mlp


In my Alicorn form, I found out something that I truly hated, I couldn't but my hoof under my color, god damn it Rarity, why did you have to make this suit top slightly hot? Looking in the mirror that I was given in a slightly large circle room, I found myself looking back at my own refection, my hair pushed back slightly, still having it's old spike up in the front a bit, but in a neat sort of way. My top tux was of black, since my coat was that of pure white like snow, in fact it looked more like a normal human tux, save this one didn't have a tie since this one was button up with gold buttons, the color that being gold color as well with a white button keeping it together. The cuffs around my hoof ankles were cold, and the 'belt' that hung a bit away from my forelegs being both white with a golden buckle. A sliver belt was strapped going across my chest, much like the belt that held my sword; the buckle that showing a painting of my Cutie Mark. It was happening; I was getting married to Twilight Sparkles.

I tried to remember what her father told me, deep breaths close your eyes and just relax; yeah easy for him to say now, but for me I couldn't keep calm for the life of me! And where the hell were Mike, Devon, Shiny Armor, and Big Mac? They said they would be here to help me keep my cool! Going over to one of the sofas I sat down, closing my eyes as I tried to relax...maybe thinking of something will help me keep cool...?

...One month ago...

_ _

Downstairs of mine and Twilight's home in Ponyville, I was standing by the staircase, my hands behind my back as my foot tapped on the floor. Everyone was pretty much here, Devon, Rarity, Mike, Big Mac, Apple Bloom, Apple Jack, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy...okay you know what I mean, everyone was freaking here that wanted to be here after what was going on upstairs was done! Twilight was upstairs with her mother, Celestia, Luna, and a doctor as well. Seems today was the day that the foal was coming. Twilight's father, watched me as I started to pace as well then, so worried and upset that I couldn't be up there with her. I guess over here, it was tradition for only the mother and two other mares, not including the doctor, to be with the mother giving birth.

"Brandon, it will be alright, just sit down and wait like the rest of us." He told me as I stopped for a moment and looked at him. "I know what you are feeling, believe me I do, but pacing around like a fox waiting for its pray will not make something like this go any faster." I sighed and nodded my head, going to sit on the sofa beside him as he brought a hoof to my shoulder. It made it worst that we couldn't hear anything, the same spell I used at the Christmas party to allow the children to sleep, was used so that I would run up and disturbed them...trust me, I almost did.

"Yeah man, you just need to take some deep breaths!" I looked over at Devon as he gave me a small smile. Looking around, I noticed all of my other friends nodding their heads as I sighed and nodded.

"I'm sorry everyone it just..." I sighed keeping my head down. "I don't know, I'm happy don't get me wrong...but...I don't know the first thing on being a father...I mean...you all know what I went through."

"If you think you will be like your father Brandon," I looked up, Princess Candace looking at me as she spoke. "You will never be like your father Brandon. I'm sure you've heard this many times, but you are kind, and will do just about anything to save your friends and love ones."

"Yeah man," Rainbow Dash spoke up hovering next to me. "You're nothing like that creep!"

"And if we think ya going to turn into something like him," Mike spoke up as he crossed his arms. "We'll be there to boot you in the arse," I smiled and then softly chuckled at this as I looked up and looked around.

"Everyone...thank you..."

Just then, the sound of hooves clopping on the stairs could be heard as I looked over and stood up at once. Nurse Redheart came down, with Twilight's mother behind her and then my sisters Celestia and Luna.

"Twilight had given birth to a healthy young foal colt," she told us with a smile as I smiled as well, a boy, wow. She then turned to me. "Before anyone else comes up to see her, she wants you to go up there for a while with her."

"Right, thanks," I told her with a nod as I went up the stairs as quickly as I could, and trying not to fall as well.

Once I reached the top of the stairs, I saw Twilight under some blankets, her hair was a mess and man did she looked worn out. In her forearms was a smaller bundle of blankets as well, she was holding it with great care, and when she turned to me; she smiled softly.

"Hey," she whispered as I guess the colt was sleeping.

"Hey yourself," I spoke with a smile as I went over and sat on the edge of the bed. "You look like hell," she gave me a dirty look as I only smiled, brushing her cheek softly as I looked down at the colt, he had a pure white coat, like I did when I turned into my Alicorn self, he even had some hair on his head. I also noticed small pairs of wings on his back, but he had no horn on his head. Celestia and Luna told me that just like when I marry Twilight, after a few years she too would look like an Alicorn. If the child we had did not look like an Alicorn when he was born; as he grows older he will grow into one. But there was something about this colt Pegasus that seemed like I seen him somewhere before, I just couldn't put my finger on it. When Twilight saw my look no doubt, she smiled and slowly moved him in her arms, as my eyes slowly grew wide. It was him, the one that helped me be free of my mind control from the Changeling Queen.

"Sonic...Flash?" I asked in a soft voice as I looked to Twilight as she nodded.

"Yes," she spoke softly. "When Sonic Flash came from the future to save you, we found out that he was indeed our son from the future that came to save you; and bring us back together." I felt my chest tightened a bit as I looked down at my son...my son...it felt so strange to say that now. My hand slowly going over to rub his head softly, he moved a bit and slowly opened his green eyes, my green eyes and looked right at me. I blinked, and then he blinked as Twilight chuckled. "Seems he got more then your eyes huh honey?" I heard Twilight ask me as I chuckled and nodded. I brought my hands over and softly took him from her arms and rested him in my own arms. He was looking at me the whole time; somehow he got his arms out of the bundle and held them out, making a soft sound as I leaned closer as he placed his hooves on my cheeks, closing his eyes and making a happy cry.

"Hello to you too Sonic," I spoke softly as I held my head close to his own. "Thank you..." I then looked up to Twilight. "Does everyone else know that it was our son who came back from the future?"

"Only Devon, Shiny Armor, and the Princesses; other then that, no."

"Man...the others are going to flip when they hear this huh?" Twilight chuckled as I then lay next to her, placing Sonic Flash between the two of us as he would look over at each of us for a second, before yawning and snuggling in closer to his mother and falling back asleep.

I truly do not know how long we were on our own, Twilight and me, save for Sonic Flash being there as well. But after a while, it was Pinkie Pie first who poked her head up, I looked over at her as she waved slightly as I only chuckled under my breath, Twilight looking over and giving her the okay for everyone else to come up. when they did come up, I reminded them all to not make too much noise, and when they saw the sleeping foal; their looks were no doubt the same as mine, well save for the ones that already knew. When Celestia and Luna told them that did not know what Twilight just told me, it made somewhat sense for them. Apple Bloom and the rest of the CMC climbed on the bed and wanted to see the foal up close.

"I can't wait till he's older!" Bloom whispered but you could hear the joy in her voice. "He'll be our first colt pony in the group!" I smiled at this, seeming that the three fillies took to the newest member of our group pretty great. Looking at Twilight she nodded knowing what I was about to ask one of the girls as I nodded back.

"Hey Apple Bloom?" I spoke up as she looked to me. "I know you have great skills when it comes to building things, so I like to ask you, do you want to make another room for Sonic Flash here?"

"Really? You want me to make a room for him?"

"Why not, I know this is your hidden skill, and hey; maybe this will unlock your Cutie Mark." The little filly agreed after this, thanking me for this request as she sat off back home, saying something about making plans. After she and the rest of the CMC's left, I asked for one last thing from the others.

"Guys, I also like for you to keep it to yourselves about Sonic coming from the future alright?"

"But why?" Devon asked as I sighed.

"I don't want him thinking he HAS to be a hero. I mean, the future can be whatever it is now, but I don't want him going down a path that maybe he truly didn't want."

..Present Day...

_ _

Sighing loudly, I found myself back to the day of my wedding, lying on my back looking up at the window allowing the light to pour in. I was about to close my eyes again when I heard the sound of a knock, followed by the door opening. Looking over I found Mike, Devon, and Shiny Armor make their way in as I got up from the sofa and landed on all fours as I frowned slightly.

"Where have you guys been?" I asked with a bit of annoyed voice, if I was human I would've crossed my arms over my chest, so I settled with a stern look as Devon slightly rubbed the back of his head. Sure enough he was wearing a tux, but today it was red for some reason, no matter, at least he was wearing something nice.

"My fault," he spoke up while laughing. "A lot of drinking at our party last night we threw for you...I sleep like a log when I drink."

"You sleep like a log any other day," I pointed out as he only grinned while closing his eyes as I sighed out loud shaking my head. Thank god I made Shiny Armor my best colt for this wedding. Twilight at first thought about Devon being my best man because how we were pretty close, but after listing all the things that Devon might do, we thought better for Shiny to take the place. "Anyway, thanks for coming guys...I'm still kinda freaking out here you know?"

"Don't ye worry mate," Mike spoke, I looked over at him, he still wore his brown cowboy hat, but he wore a very nice black cowboy like suit. The vest he wore a pure white, the undershirt that held a white tie under it was black, the cuffs being white with gold buttons; his pants being the same color as his vest as he smiled and came over to and patted me on the back softly. "We all get cold feet at one's wedding, I mean...this is a big day fer you and Twilight eh?"

"I'll say!" Devon spoke up as he chuckled. "Twilight's gonna have him whipped by the time they come back from their honeymoon!"

"Shut the hell up Devon," I glared at him as he smirked and waved it off as if it was nothing as I sighed. "Why am I friends with you again?"

"You lack sexy friends,"

"God I hate you," the others started to laugh before I soon joined in as Shiny Armor came over placing his hoof on my shoulder, I was a little bit bigger then him now, this proving that I was indeed growing. It was said that the male Alicorns were pretty much bigger then the mare ones, so in the coming years or decades, I may even be larger then Celestia, and she was already tall!

"You'll be fine," my soon to be brother-in-law told me with a nod, he wore the same clothing I guess he wore at his own wedding as well, since it was the nicest grabs he had at the moment. "This was meant to be I know." I smiled but looked away as Mike asked.

"What's wrong Brandon?"

"It's just," I spoke up going toward one of the windows and looking outside. "It's been two months since Darkness was killed, and we have yet to have any sightings of my father Sinbad or Discord...I'm worried." It was true, the last time something like this happened, it ended pretty baldy, that being the death of one of my sisters, Nightmare Moon, changed into Moon. I truly wished she was here today.

"I know what ya mean man," Mike spoke up as he crossed his arms, even in his belt hung loose; he never left home without it just in case. Many ponies had started to call him 'Sir Mike Power'; he hated it, for he didn't consider himself a knight. He just did what anyone would've done if their family was threatened. "But they wouldn't dare attack now, I mean, they have no army, and they couldn't possible have made one so soon anyway. And all the guards here, even if they are powerful, we could easily stop them in a second!"

"Yeah, so stop worrying whitey!" Devon spoke flicking his nose with his thumb. "Time to get wedded so you can start getting whipped by your wife!"

"With all this 'whipping' you're saying, it sounds like it something you're into!" I told him as he smiled.

"Well there was that time I came home to find Rarity in a..."

"No, no, don't wanna hear it!" I cried out. "God damn it Devon, you are like brain cancer...mind cancer...god you make my ideas hurt!"

"And that's what you love about me!" he only grinned as I sighed and shook my head.

"One of these days man..."

"Forgetting little pervert over there," Shiny Armor spoke while rolling his eyes. "I think it's time you get to the podium to wait for my sister. I hate for her to be looking for you when she's walking down the walkway toward you right?" I nodded my head as I took a deep breath, closing my eyes for a moment and then nodding again.

"Alright, let's go." I spoke out as they nodded as they led me out.

Standing where I was to be standing, I looked out at the rows and rows of seats before me and gulped slightly. Twilight's mother being in the front row, Twilight's mother holding onto my son who for some reason was very quiet for a mouth old foal; he would at times though look up at his grandmother and then around as if looking for something, no doubt wondering where his mother was. The CMC were also there, sitting right next to them as well as I smiled as I saw on two of their flanks, Cutie Marks that they at last earned. I was right about the girls getting them by the skills they already had, the first to earn her Cutie Mark was Scootaloo. One day while watching her ride her scooter around, she showed me this very wicked trick were she got big air, went upside down and span, making the air around her swirl; this giving the name the Tornado Spin. Once she landed, me clapping, I noticed that on her flank was her Cutie Mark. It was a scooter much like her own, twirling behind it was what seemed to be a blot of lighten, behind the scooter and blot of yellow light; a explosion of colors. I swear the look on her face was so funny, I think she may have also cried. I think as I said. She went right to the other fillies to show them, they were overjoyed, but they thought that she would leave the group since she got her Cutie Mark. But she shook her head, saying that they should still be the CMCs so when new fillies and colts came to Ponyville that lacked their own Cutie Mark, they could help them with all the list of skills they had been working on over the years.

The second being Apple Bloom, somehow she got the room done in record time, and it was very well done. I mean...really well done. When the last of the nails were put in, her Cutie Mark came to be. That being a hammer and a saw crossing over each other with a hard hat in the background, also behind the hat, that being of a blue print. Sweetie Belle was a little upset that she was the only one of the group not to get her own, and her singing had gotten to much better. So to help her out, myself and Twilight asked her to sing at the wedding; it was wroth a shot to see if truly singing would be her skill to get a Cutie Mark. To my side stood Shiny Armor, then Mike, Big Mac, and lastly Devon who had his hands behind his back. Both Celestia and Luna were in the middle of the group of us, it would seem they would be the one to wed us both. My breathing slightly got more and heavier as I felt then Luna tap me with her tail, well brushed me I would say. I turned slightly to look at her as she smiled and slightly whispered for me to take deep breaths. I closed my eyes and did just that. Soon the music of the band that came to play started to play, this was it, and this was when Twilight was coming down.

The doors on the far end opened up, first came all of Twilight mare friends, first that being Rarity. All of the brides-mares wore a shade of purple dresses that matched Twilight's coat. Trimming of white were around the edges, as well as flowers molded around the dresses. The next to come was Fluttershy who was flying up in the air, with none other then flowers as she dropped them all around; wait...even Rainbow Dash was doing this? Applejack and Pinkie Pie came after them, for once Pinkie wasn't hopping toward anywhere, but she did still have her wide grin on. And behind them all, caused my heart to skip a few beats as I saw Twilight come in.

I was like...damn, she looked so...just no words I could think of could tell anypony what I was thinking at the moment. Her father was right next to her as the two slowly made their way down the walkway. Many ponies muttered their amazement at how Twilight looked, and who could blame them?

She wore a long white dress, so long in fact that by the time the door behind her closed, the very tip was just coming in. laced with gold and sliver, a chest necklace, much like that of Celestia was seen on her neck, purple like her coat, with her Cutie Mark showing in the middle. Her hair was styled to what I could only think of as a mixture of Rarity's and Fluttershy's style. A flock of her hair being curled in the front of her face, while the rest curled around the edges. She wore sliver shoes with deep white gems on the front of each; her sparkling eyes locking onto me as she blushed, no doubt seeing my slightly slack jaw and wide eyes.

At long last they were before us, Twilight's father kissing her softly on the cheek as Twilight thanked her as he took his place back beside his own wife as Twilight stood next to me. We gave each other a glance for a moment before Celestia started to wedding. She first thanked all that came to the wedding, also saying how love can come from many different ways, even though I was half human, she explained how we fell in love with each other before such a thing even happened. Using her magic, she brought out a red fluffy pillow with two rings on it. Both made of pure gold with engravings on it and a texture I had never seen before. First I used my own magic to lift up the ring that was to be for Twilight, while saying a few words that I had to repeat from my sister, I placed it on Twilight's horn; she doing it vice versa. After this my older sister then spread out her wings whiled saying that we were now bounded, me and Twilight leaned in and kissed. The cheers that came were loud and booming, our eyes closed, I heard nothing of the sort after a while, to me; it was just Twilight, and I.

"Are we having fun yet Princess Twilight?" I smiled as me and Twilight danced slowly to the music as well as everypony else and humans I should say as well, who wished to dance. It was pretty much only couples dancing. Sonic Flash with his two Aunts as they watched from the side lines, him being asleep. Twilight only giggled as she placed her chest to mine, the top of her head just touching the underside of my chin as she nuzzled me softly.

"Just dandle Prince Brandon,"

"I told you not to call me 'Prince'; you know I don't like titles."

"And you know that I don't want you to call me 'Princess'," she joked to me as I smiled and kissed her softly on the lips for a moment.

"Yes I guess so huh?" I brought my neck over her shoulder in a sort of a hug as he slowly danced around in circles. "You know...Devon thinks you're going to have me on whip."

"Oh?" she asked looking at me. "You know I would never do that.

"I know," I answered before she leaned up to whisper.

"But if that turns you on...I can ask Devon to make certain...suit for me to wear to surprise you for our Honeymoon." My eyes went wide as I looked down at Twilight, a blush on my face, but not on her; was she...for real? After a while I felt a tap, looking back to see her father.

"Mind if I cut in?" he asked with a smile as I smiled and stood to the side, as father and daughter danced.

"You're going to make her a very happy filly you know?" I looked back to see he mother walk up and stand nice to me. "I don't know if you believe in fate or not, but it was truly the work of fate that you two were brought together."

"Fate..." I spoke slightly to myself. "Maybe you're right ma'am, maybe you're right."

"And you two are already parents, such a cute little foal, he has your coat and eyes, but he has Twilight's will to learn." It was true, whenever Twilight would read to Sonic Flash, mostly kid stories. We noticed that Sonic would try and read along, he didn't like it when he couldn't say a word, and it was showed on his face. And when seeing me spar outside by myself with my fists, he would watch and stand on his hind legs and try and copy me. This resulting with him falling backwards. "And I just know you will be the best stallion you can be for her." I looked back to looking at her as she smiled as I smiled back. "I'm sure you're mother would be very proud of you."

"I know she is..." I spoke looking up slightly. "I know she is."

After the dancing and the cake were pulled out, I groaned as we made it Pinkie's job to work on the party. The cake...well...it was freaking huge! But we didn't say anything as we took the handle of the knife with our hoof, each holding one end as we made the first cut. Twilight thinking it was funny when she took her piece and pushing it in my face as I only blinked causing everyone to laugh. I was about to do the same thing when Rarity jumped in front of me.

"You shall not ruin that dress and hair I worked so hard to make!" I only chuckled at this and sighed, Twilight giving me a large grin at this, oh I would so get her back. After everyone who wanted to give a little speech of what they thought of us, Devon saying a joke yet again who I would be on a very short leash, I made my way up behind him without his knowing, lightly hitting his neck, making him fall asleep on the stop.

Sweetie Belle later came to me and Twilight, asking if she could sing her gift to us, we allowed her to, and when she went up for all to hear; my god...it was like a angle was singing. When she stopped singing, and she bowed, all gasped when we all saw what was on her flanks. I smiled, she did it at last. As she looked over and also gasped, she saw what looked to be a corded microphone, with an explosion of glitter of stars around it. a very simple Cutie Mark, but enough to know what she was good at.

At last it was time for me and Twilight to go to our honey moon. going into a carriage as two flying ponies pulled us away, we waved to our friends and families as they faded out of sight. I sighed and leaned back in the seat as Twilight smiled and then snuggled up to me. I held her in a soft embrace with my foreleg as I kissed her softly on the forehead.

"This here," I told her softly as she looked to me. "Is our beginning,"

"And a good one at that," she answered kissing me on the lips strongly as I rubbed her sides softly as we flew though the air; starting our lives together, as husband, and wife.
