My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Baby Cakes

A/N: Hi, guys, I'm posting the final chapter for this story, and I'm sorry that I'm late with my posting, but the staff meeting at my job went over a bit. Anyway, once this is posted, I'm going back to bed since I had to get up early for this meeting, and it doesn't help that I had a late shift at the movie theater last night.

Read, review, and enjoy!

CHAPTER FOUR: LESSON LEARNED

After cleaning Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, Pinkie Pie put them in the pink crib, and they both went to sleep, exhausted. Smiling, she covered them with a blanket, cleaned up the room, and turned the light off before heading downstairs.

Pinkie Pie cleaned up the mess in both the main room, restocking the display cases, and she cleaned up the kitchen. Once this was down, she went back upstairs, checked on the sleeping twins, and then she went to her room.

Getting out parchment and a quill, the pink pony wrote a letter to send to Princess Celestia.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I've always had fun playing with little kids, and I thought babysitting meant just more playtime, right? Wrong! Being a caregiver is way more responsibility than just being a playmate. And today, I learned that sometimes our desire for responsibility can outrun our actual ability to handle it.

When she was done writing, Pinkie Pie signed the letter and stored it away so that she could give it to Spike in the morning to send. She then collapsed on her bed, exhausted. "What a day."

It was fully night when Mr. and Mrs. Cake returned to Sugarcube Corner. Putting away the cart, they entered the shop.

"Pinkie Pie!" Mr. Cake called out. "We're back!"

"How did everything go?" Mrs. Cake asked and she gasped when they saw how neat and clean the main room was, having expected it to be a mess.

Mr. Cake looked around in amazement. "Are we in the right place?" he wondered.

Pinkie Pie appeared at the top of the stairs. "Shhh!" she hissed.

The three ponies went upstairs and peered into the nursery, where Mr. and Mrs. Cake admired Pound Cake, who was snoring, and Pumpkin Cake, who was doing sleepy mumbling.

"P-Pinkie," Mrs. Cake said quietly as they went back into the hallway. "This is just… just…" She didn't know what to say.

"Amazing is what it is," Mr. Cake said, impressed that the pink pony had proved them wrong by being responsible. "We had no idea how responsible you really are. Would you be interested in becoming our go-to babysitter on a permanent basis?" he offered.

Pinkie Pie gasped, taken aback by the offer. "Hm- Ah- lemme check my schedule!" She pulled out her calendar and checked it, thinking quickly. "I should be available a week from… never!" she declared when they heard the babies sighed.

They peered back in as the twins said their first words.

"Pinkie…" said Pound Cake.

"Pie…" said Pumpkin Cake.

Pinkie Pie gasped again, but this time it was a happy gasp. "I have some free time next Tuesday," she offered and the Cakes beamed.

The next morning, Pinkie Pie left the shop and headed over to the library, where she found Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom going over some new books that'd been sent by Princess Celestia.

"Hey, guys," she said cheerfully and offed Spike the letter. "Could you send that to Princess Celestia?" she requested. "It's a lesson that I learned yesterday while caring for the twins."

"Sure," the baby dragon agreed and used his magic fire to send it on its' way.

The pink pony then turned to the twins. "Twilight, I'm sorry that I threw you out of the shop when you offered to help," she apologized. "I just wanted to prove that I can be a responsible pony, and I kinda took it out on you when you hinted that I wasn't the responsible type."

"That's ok, Pinkie," Twilight Sparkle assured her friend. "I shouldn't have treated you like you weren't responsible. So how did it go and what lesson did you learn?"

Smiling, Pinkie Pie shared her misadventures with the twins, especially with how Pound Cake was already flying and Pumpkin Cake already had some control over her own magic.

"…I know you warned the Cakes about magical surges," she concluded. "But she managed to use her own magic to fly around the room like a pegasus."

"Wow, that's really good for a month-old baby," Sunrise Blossom remarked and her twin agreed. "Even we didn't do anything like that at that age."

"Pumpkin Pie is certainly going to be a powerful unicorn when she grows up," Twilight Sparkle agreed. "And Pound Cake is already on his way to being an impressive flyer," she added. "You certainly had quite the adventure yesterday, Pinkie."

"Yeah, I did," Pinkie Pie agreed.

A/N: And that is a wrap, see you all on Tuesday. Now, I'm going back to bed. R&R everyone!
