Prologue

Hey, everyone/everypony. Goldenponyboy here with the answer to all you prayers. Yes, I decided to create a sequel to Crossback. I hope that this lives up to your expectations. And just so you know, when I have something in italics, it either means a flashback or a dream. Strange, but it's just my writing style.

I own only my OC's.

Rodrigo and I stood at the front of the chapel, decked out in a white tuxedos. We were waiting for the moment of truth when our lives would be changed forever. I remember my engagement to Fluttershy as if it were yesterday.

Rodrigo and I were on a double date with Fluttershy and Rarity. We were all sitting in the park on a sunny afternoon. We had told them that me wanted to tell them something.

Once we were all settled, Rarity asked, "Okay, so what is this about, Darlings?"

We grinned at each other before looking at our marefriends. Then, simultaneously, we produced small boxes. Upon opening them, we revealed a golden bracelet in each. Then we asked our marefriends the question that every mare wishes to hear. "Will you marry me?"

I snapped out of my flashback as the bridle march began to play. The CMC hopped down the aisle, spreading the flower petals as they went. Following them were the two mares that will share in the changing of our lives, wearing wedding dresses. Soon, Fluttershy was standing on my left, Rarity on Rodrigo's right.

Fluttershy was shaking slightly. I wrapped my front leg around hers. I whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, my love. It'll be over soon."

"But... I'm afraid."

"Don't be. Just remember that I will be next to you the entire time."

Soon, the priest was standing in front of us, an old unicorn with a book for a Cutie Mark. He spoke to the crowd behind us. "Today, we are gathered here to witness the union of Crossback and Fluttershy and also Rodrigo and Rarity. If anypony in the audience objects to the union of either couple, speak now or forever hold your peace."

There was silence for a short period before he turned to Fluttershy and me. "Do you, Crossback, take Fluttershy as your lawfully wedded wife for as long as you both shall live?"

I smiled at my fiancee before answering, "I do."

"And do you, Fluttershy, take Crossback as your lawfully wedded husband for as long as you both shall live?"

"I-I do." She smiled at me afterward.

Next it was time for the other marriage that was taking place here also. The priest turned to Rodrigo and Rarity. "Do you, Rodrigo, take Rarity as your lawfully wedded wife for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And do you, Rarity, take Rodrigo as your lawfully wedded husband for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Then by the power invested in me by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, I announce you husband and wife. You may kiss the brides."

I looked at Fluttershy. She was currently blushing and facing away from me. I gently brought my hoof to her cheek and turned her to face me. I smiled before bringing my lips to hers.

I heard the audience cheer as I drew back. We turned to face the crowd, now all stomping their hooves in applause.

I reached under my tuxedo and brought out the necklace that Fluttershy had given me two years back. I smiled as I read the inscription on the back of it: Forever loved and protected. I knew she wore the one that I had given her that same year. We wore them as a symbol of our devotion to each other.

Two years later...

I paced back and forth in the waiting room at the hospital. Here with me were Rodrigo, Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Rodrigo's adoptive daughter, Scootaloo. I was just a few knocks short of going insane.

"Crossback, settle down," Rodrigo said in an attempt to consul me.

"Calm down? Calm down! My wife is in there having my first born child!"

"Hey, so is mine."

"Yeah, but your better with kids than I am. You even helped the younger girls earn their Cutie Marks!" This much was true. He discovered that Applebloom was great at art, Sweetie Bell was an excellent singer, and Scootaloo had a natural talent in dancing. They received Cutie Marks in the form of a paintbrush, a microphone, and a pair of ballet slippers. He had even gotten them into a volunteer program at their school to teach their talents.

"So what. You're going to be a fine father."

"Rodrigo is right," Twilight said. "You're so kindhearted that it's almost assured."

"That may be so, but still..." I started.

Suddenly, the doctor came into the room. "Crossback, Rodrigo, you may want to come with me."

There was only one thought in my head as we walked down the hall to the room where our wives were: Dear Celestia, please let Fluttershy be alright. Opening the door, the doctor showed us the most amazing thing in our lives.

In both Rarity and Fluttershy's arms were two babies, one girl and one boy. I rushed over to my wife's side to look at my children. I felt a tear start down my cheek. "They're beautiful."

She kissed my cheek before she spoke. "I want you to meet our twins, Frost Night," she nuzzled a small white unicorn with her blue eyes, "and Flutter Back," the yellow Pegasus in her left arm.

Rodrigo's children were both unicorns, the boy was yellow with hazel eyes, who they named, Ricardo. The girl was white with blue eyes. She was named Snowy Dream.

The other mares came through the door and instantly came over to the young colts and fillies. I watched in amusement as they started cooing at them. The babies even returned with coos of laughter.

I couldn't believe what was happening to me and my wife. We had just added two members to our family. I had never been happier in my entire life.

Which meant that the only direction to go now was down-hill.

Chapter Complete. Man, it feels good to type that again. I guess that you guys groveled long enough for me to make up my mind to write a sequel. Oh, and I just wanted to tell you that I have a poll open now based off of my prequel. This will tell me which of the characters will have the greatest impact if brought back somehow. So R&R, and Cookies for ALL! See Volts? This is called being nice. LOL!
