"Having trouble?" Naruto spoke loudly over the noise of the crying foals. It had been two months since that day and life was carrying on as normal. They were nearing the beginning of July which meant much of the nation was getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration.
Luna and Celestia were currently away, attending a conference with the other leaders leaving Cadance and the council in charge while they were away.
Such a busy time meant the Cakes had to cater and with everypony busy that had left only one pony to babysit their foals, Pinkie Pie.
"Nonsense. We're having fun! Right guys!?" She loudly asked over their wails with a forced smile?
"I'm here to help Pinkie. I know you want to do this on your own, but everypony needs help." He scooped Pumpkin out of her left arm. "Hey there Sweetie. Who's an adorable little filly. You are." He said doing faces causing Pumpkins wails to slowly cease. "I know you want to prove yourself so I'll just stick by and only interfere if you need me."
Reluctantly, Pinkie accepted his offer. "Alright, but only if I really need your help." The moment she took back Pumpkin the foal began crying. So she proceeded to do everything to get them to stop crying which was the result of a bunch of silly games to get them to laugh that didn't go over so well.
"You know if they been up all morning maybe its time to put them down for a nap." Naruto announced. Before he could make a grab for them Pinkie rushed forward and stopped him.
"Wait Narry I got one more idea. I know I can get them to stop crying." She pleaded with him.
He was going to argue, but he relented when he saw how much it meant to the mare to be able to prove herself.
"Alright…"
She squealed and ran over to the curtains, beginning to walk behind them. "I wasn't gonna pull off a show stopper, but you're a lovely audience and I think you deserve it!" She disappeared behind the curtains as the babies' crying was beginning to tune out every sound in the room. After a second, she poked her head out, wearing a pig snout and commencing her singing.
"First you jiggle your tail! Oink oink oink!" She bounced on the floor with her behind.
"Then you wriggle your snout!" She appeared between them shook her head in rhythm. "Oink oink oink!"
"Then you wiggle your rump!" She bounced again. "Oink oink oink!"
"Then shout it out!" She grinned as she balanced on her tail and tilted side to side, keeping rhythm. "Oink oink oink!"
"First you jiggle your tail! Oink oink oink!
Then you wriggle your snout! Oink oink oink!
Then you wiggle your rump! Oink oink oink!
Then shout it out! Oink oink oink!" Pinkie Pie continued to sing as she bounced on the floor. The song did not work as it only served to confuse the foals and caused them to cry even more. This caused Pinkie Pie to increase the speed of her song.
"First you jiggle your tail! Oink oink oink!
Then you wriggle your snout! Oink oink oink!
Then you wiggle your rump! Oink oink oink!
Then shout it out! Oink oink oink!" Her song ended when she lost control of her bouncing and rolled onto a cabinet. That was when a bag of flour fell off the top of the cabinet and covered Pinkie Pie in complete whiteness, catching the babies' attention and ceasing their bawling. They stared at Pinkie for a moment, and then began to giggle and soon laugh. "There, see? Nothing to this babysitting business! Ugh!" She fell to the floor, exhausted.
"Well…that's one way of making them laugh…" Naruto said as he walked over to her and helped her up. "Go ahead and clean up, I'll watch the babies."
She released a sigh of relief. "Alright…thanks…" She walked off and headed upstairs.
He grabbed the babies as they continued to coo and walked over to the cabinet near the door. "You two trouble makers are stressing your aunt Pinkie Pie out. At least she's letting me directly help now." He said as he sat the foals in their own special chairs and looked in the fridge. He noticed two bowls of mashed up product, some sort of baby food he figured.
With that he grabbed them and headed towards the table, noticing Pound Cake pound his hooves on the solid little table in front of him as Pumpkin Cake sucked on her hoof. He placed a bowl on each of their chairs and grabbed two spoons. "Alright…" He used the spoons to pick up some of the food and edge it towards their mouth. "Time to eat. Open your mouths…" There only reply was confused looks.
Naruto sighed and shook his head. Time to go through the list. He placed one of the spoons close to his opened mouth and closed it, but kept the spoon out. "Just like that." He moved the spoon back to Pumpkin Cake. She opened her mouth and began to move her head closer to the spoon, but instead, she grabbed the tablecloth and held it in her mouth. "No, no, no." He announced, placing the spoons back in the bowl and gently pulling out the tablecloth from her mouth.
"You eat this honey." He gestured to the bowl. While he knew it was ultimately futile, the baby far too young to get a full grasp of his words at least what he was doing would help stimulate her mind therefore her development.
After a moment, she opened her mouth and placed her lips on the spoon, sucking the food from it and swallowing. Pound Cake was observing this and did the same as well. "There you go." He said, sending a smile to make sure it would soothe them. He continued to feed them until the bowls were finished. He placed the bowls and spoons in the sink and turned to check the list. "Alright… looks like it's bath time…" He gently and carefully picked up the two and headed upstairs to the bathroom.
He arrived just in time for Pinkie to have finished cleaning herself up. "Are you giving them a bath now?"
"Yep, they're all fed, now its time to clean them."
"Ooh! Can I do it?"
For a moment he hesitated, wondering if this was a good idea. "I don't…"
Her expression turned hopeful. "I know I can do it Narry. Just let me prove it. The Cakes are counting on me and I don't want to let them down."
He did say he would only help if she really needed. "Alright Pinkie."
She gave a cheer as she walked in the bathroom with him.
Naruto held onto the babies while Pinkie Pie got the bath water ready. "Make sure its not too hot, oh and don't forget to make sure you use the right shampoo."
"I got it." She replied with a nonplussed wave. With the water ready he gave her the foals to which she finished removing the diapers and about to grab the babies to place them in the water. However, the foals cheered and began to run around the room. Pinkie Pie began to chase after them, going after Pound Cake first. Naruto scooped up little Pumpkin who was intent on choosing on a towel. "No honey that's no good for you." He said as he placed her in the water. "Pumpkin is fine, you just have to worry about Pound." He shouted out to the mare.
He turned back to the giggling little foal in the tub. "And here I thought I wouldn't be revisiting this scene until a few years yet."
Bedraggled Pinkie had managed to finally catch him when he inadvertently trapped himself by heading back into the bathroom which led to him being promptly placed into the tub.
However, noticing how his fun has ended, he began crying which led to Pumpkin Cake to follow the same example as well. Pinkie Pie quickly joined him by the tub and tried to think of something to counterattack this.
"Ooh, look guys, bubbles!" She placed her hand in the water and pulled out some bubbles, blowing them. As they floated above them, they instantly focused their attention of them and smiled lightly.
Naruto stepped back and allowed Pinkie to work her magic. It looked like she would be able to handle this after all as Pinkie continue to form more bubbles, including a bubble beard on her face. They smiled more and noticed a huge bubble above them. Pumpkin Cake gazed her eyes at it as she noticed it nearing her. She smiled brightly, but the bubble touched her horn and immediately popped, surprising them and causing them to wail again. "Uh, uh, uh, uh, don't cry…" She looked around and grabbed a rubber duck. "Look, look, uh floating things!" She placed it in the water. "Ooh, aaah, eeh!" The duck then caused them to smile once again.
Pinkie Pie returned an accomplished smile. "Good job Pinkie." Naruto complimented her. Having to take care of young children for the first time wasn't easy on anyone.
Once they were washed up and clothed it was playtime. Pinkie Pie and Naruto began looking and reading through the list until a foul putrid stench filled the air and causing their noses to scrunch. Both sniffed, but Pinkie Pie gasped. They turned to see the two foals playing with the blocks. Pumpkin Cake was watching as she had her binky in her mouth and Pound Cake was repeatedly lightly pounding one of the blocks on top of the other.
"Smells like somepony needs me to changie-wangie their diaper-wiper right now-a-wow!" Pinkie rhymed, grabbing two diapers. "Don't worry I got this." She cut the blond off before he could do anything.
"If you're sure." He said as he noticed the sound of a doorbell. "I'll go get the door." He said as the kids disappeared behind the dresser with Pinkie hot on their trail.
He went downstairs and opened the door to see Twilight on the other side. "Oh, hello Naruto, what are you doing here?"
"I'm helping Pinkie look after the twins. Something you need Twi?"
"Well actually, I finished up the work I had to do, so I thought I'd stop by and see if Pinkie needed any help." She explained.
A smile formed on his face. "Well that was rather thoughtful of you." He replied with a warm smile. "To be honest the little trouble makers are proving quite the handful."
"Well I figured Pinkie would need some help. That's why I stopped by. Babies take a lot of work, and some ponies are just not cut out to handle the responsibility." Even if she meant it with good intentions Twilight came off as kind of condescending in that moment.
"Well not if you tell her like that Twi. I know your intentions are good, but most people wouldn't take a comment like that lightly. I know your intentions were good at heart, but don't worry I got this."
"A-Are you sure? I didn't mean it that way its just…"
"I know." He cut her off. "Pinkie can be a bit.. .flightly but she has a good heart and really wants to prove herself. I'll make sure everything will be okay. Besides I have hands on experience so I can handle anything that comes up." He placed a kiss on her cheek. "So I'll catch up with you later okay. Besides remember what we talked about. How you need to spend time relaxing after an assignment or training."
A sigh escaped Twilight's lips. He only brought that up because he cared. "Okay, but if you need anything."
"I know where to find you." He said as they exchanged a goodbye and Twilight left.
Naruto began returning upstairs when he heard strange loud noises coming from upstairs.
When we reached the door, all of a sudden, Pinkie Pie began crying out loud. Pained sobs escaped from her as she wore the most defeated look he had ever seen. Naruto turned to scan for the kids and saw Pumpkin Cake with a stash of stuffed animals near her and one being a turtle in her mouth. She placed the turtle on the floor and looked at Pinkie Pie with sadness in her eyes. Pound flew besides Pumpkin Cake, sharing a frown as well. As Pinkie Pie continued to wail, sounding as if she was overwhelmed, the two foals looked at each other.
Pumpkin Cake began using her magic to grab a sack of flour and bring it towards Pinkie Pie as Pound Cake followed her. When Pinkie noticed this, she halted her loud crying, but was whimpering a bit as the two foals returned light and empathetic smiles. They stood up and stretched their hand, as if to present themselves, and flour immediately rained down upon them. They flinched as it hit them, but they once again presented themselves with smiles as Pinkie Pie watched.
Wiping her tears, Pinkie began giggling. "Y'know, you're right. That is funny…"
A smile graced Naruto's face as he turned away. She was going to be alright after all. Naruto began cleaning up the mess in the other room as he left Pinkie with the twins. Sometime later the twins were sound asleep and Pinkie had finished getting cleanup for the third time that day.
Just in time as the Cakes returned. "Pinkie! We're back!" Mr. Cake shouted.
"How did everything go?" Mrs. Cake added as well, returning a gasp.
"Are we in the right place?" she asked seeing how neatly everything was put away and the place was cleaned up.
"I hope so." A voice called out, startling them slightly.
"Naruto. You nearly gave us a fright.
He smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."
"When'd you get here son?" Mr. Cake asked.
"A little while ago. I actually came over in case Pinkie would have needed some help, but for the most part she really handled herself. She put her all in taking care of those kids. You would be proud." As he finished that's when they took notice of Pinkie at the top of the stairs. She waved her hand in a coming motion before shushing them politely. "Shhh!" Then, she gestured her head towards the room to let them know the babies were sleeping.
She led them towards their room to see them snoring soundly and mumbling in their sleep.
"Pinkie Pie." Mrs. Cake announced. "This is just... just..."
"Amazing, is what it is." Mr. Cake finished.
"We had no idea how responsible you really are." They exchanged a look with each other and nodded. "Would you be interested in becoming our go-to babysitter on a permanent basis?"
This caused Pinkie to widen her eyes and open her mouth in shock. "Hm- Ah- lemme check my schedule!" She pulled out a notepad. "I should be available a week from... never!" She answered frankly. Having to take care of those two foals had been a much tougher experience than she imagined.
However that changed when the sleeping foals sigh. They looked in to see Pound Cake holding out his hands. "Pinkie..."
"Pie..." Pumpkin Cake added, turning her body to her side to continue sleeping.
Pinkie smiled and began tearing up. She happily gasped and looked towards the Cakes. "I have some free time next Tuesday."
Naruto smiled lightly. "Well today was definitely an experience."
The Cakes looked at him. "Well thank you for helping us take care of the little foals as well."
"It was no problem." He couldn't help as Paternal instinct as well as memories stirred up in him.
Moments later Naruto and Pinkie slipped away to leave the Cakes with their foals. Clutching his hand Pinkie led Naruto to her room.
"Thank you Narry. If you hadn't helped I don't know what I would have done. You supported and believed in me. That means the world to me."
"Of course Pinkie." He said as he pulled her into a hug. "Besides, the baby sitting will give you practice for when we have our own little ones in the future." He said as a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Yeah, you're right." She replied with a giggle as she rubbed her face into his neck. His words, his suggestion had stirred something within the mare. 'Our…our little ones.' Her blush deepened as she began thinking of a blissful scene or her and Naruto in the park with little ones of their own. "I love you Naruto." She said suddenly and seriously. It was heartfelt and with all the joy she could muster from her heart.
"I love you too Pinkie." He said as he leaned down and captured her lips in a sweet kiss.
That was when Pinkie knew it and felt it. That she was ready to go a little farther in their relationship, but not yet. She was too tired, but next time and when the mood was right.
