Wow, it's been a minute! But I'm back ^^ this time with some of the baby twins meeting the rest of the family as well as some slight redesign for them all to make them match Pinkie just a tad 🤏 They all arrived together at Sugarcube Corner one day to meet their new family members and to help take the load off of the two beyond exhausted parents. Of course as soon as they arrived, Marshmallow and Strawberry decided to be perfect little angels instead of the screaming terrors they were prior, at least for longer than they would with Pinkie and Cheese, and just long enough to give the family a chance to bond with them.
Cloudy Quartz may be strict and look a bit daunting, but she can't resist her grandbabies. I imagine she was always a bit more calm and collected as opposed to standoffish like her husband, but still with a bite that others wouldn't dare mess with.
Igneous may be gruff and he may not want to admit that he's overjoyed to hold his grandson, but deep down he's loving every moment of it. When his fillies were little, I imagine he wasn't the best dad to them, insisting on putting them to work and disregarding how they may feel. . . that is until Pinkie got her cutie-mark and he realized how happy she was now compared to before, and in turn realized the negative impact he was putting on ALL his kids and how happy they all could be if he was better to them. From then on he's tried his best to make up for those early years and be supportive and understanding through all his littlies differences and non-rock-related interests. Also, his hooves are a dull pink, and his hair used to be the same color.
Limestone was skeptical at first to these new tiny additions to the family, as well as Cheese Sandwich before them. But after spending a bit of time with them, she reluctantly agrees that they're alright and maybe their dad too. She often thought Pinkie and Cheese were too alike. . . until she fell in love with Short Fuse, a pony scarily similar to her own personality, and now she can't really use that excuse.
Maud was the first to meet the twins, having been with Pinkie at the hospital the day they were born as emotional support. She was the one to travel back to Rockville the next day to inform the rest of the family of their arrival. As usual she doesn't show her adoration for the two, but she feels it with the strength of ten buffalo. Will probably not be drawing Maud a whole lot LOL.
Marble came all the way back from Diamond Dog Country to meet the twins of her twin as soon as she got word of their arrival. This is why it took the family about a week and a half to arrive at Sugarcube Corner to assist with the newborn foals, they were waiting for her to get a leave from her teachers and take the multiple trains it takes to return to Equestria. All the trouble and the speaking she had to do was worth it to see her little nephews.
And now that the fam is here for the week and to take over caring for the twins primarily for the day, Pinkie Pie and Cheese are evacuating the scene, off to FINALLY, after many sleepless nights, SLEEP for as long as they possibly can! Nopony to disturb them, nopony to take care of but themselves, and Cloudy, Igneous, Limestone, Maud, and Marble are more than happy to manage the foals while they get some much needed rest.
