Rarity and Pinkie didn't back out of their decision on children. Rarity did, however take up babysitting the cakes every once in a while. This became more and more frequent as the Cakes grew older and as Rarity would say "more mannered" with time. Pinkie and Rarity became a deep part of the Cake children's lives, and Rarity knew they would indeed have somepony to take care of them in their old age.

Their wedding was simple, following a few months after the engagement. Big McIntosh became licensed to wed and the ceremony was held in a meadow Fluttershy found. It was held in front on their closest four friends, and after careful news breaking, all the brides' parents and sisters.

They were able to keep things at least outwardly secret for a while. Things were whispered and rumours spread, though without serious consequences. Gradually the town seemed to accept them, though nothing ever became too wide open.

Though each of the pony's businesses grew widely in success and popularity they never lost ties in Ponyville. And though they never made edible cake dresses, Pinkie and Rarity found deep success in Pinkie's created, Rarity's designed cakes frosted to resemble dresses. This lead to travel, mostly into Canterlot, though they never went too far or for very long out of Ponyville where their dearest friends lay, and where they could bask in each other's love and happiness.

Dearest World of Fan Fiction,

You have no idea how proud I am of finishing this story. I'm not one to finish ten chapter stories (twelve counting the prologue and epilogue). I sincerely hope that everypony enjoyed this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you, every reader who helped this, and my other stories grow with feedback. Thank you to every reader who favourited this and/or followed it, because it really helped keep me going. Thank you to eveypony who read this period. Even that means everything. I hope this story was able to give some person a reason to smile, and a temporary way out of their day as it did for me. Oh, and I don't own these characters.
