| Recurve nodded in agreement with Sweet, practicing what she said to do with her mom. Her parents sounded pretty nice. And successful. If only Recurve could say the same. He pretty much made a living off of doing odd jobs. With a family starting, he may want to consider something more professional.
"You know, I should get a job. I don't know what, though. I'm not good at much, except Archery, and I need to stay clear of that for a while. Do you know anything that I could do?" | |

| Sweets blinked "Well how about construction?...I mean you do have the strength to do it and it mostly pays well" She says blushing a bit "If you want that is" She says "But if you want I could help out too...I have a friend who owns a cafe in town maybe he'll left me a the desserts....hmmm.." | |

| Recurve thought about the job idea for a minute. Construction would be an interesting job. He sort of worried about the risks, though. But it should pay enough.
"When I get out of here, I'll start looking around. I'm sure Equestria could use some construction ponies. And the desserts sound delicious. Another reason to get a job. Put even more food on the table, since you're eating for, at least, two."
Recurve sighed, feeling like he needed to ask. "How does it feel? To be having my foals?" | |

| Sweets blushed "W-Well I mean I always wanted a foal of my own to love and care for...I'm happy I'm having it with you" She says nuzzling him smiling softly. | |

| Recurve nuzzled Sweet back, surprised that she was actually thinking positively about this. Well, he kind of expected her to want a foal of her own, from her personality and what Recurve has seen from her. It's odd. Recurve always hated foals. Now he was going to be the father of one. Funny how the world works.
"Thanks Sweet. And I'm glad I could fulfill your dreams of having your own foal. I, personally, never expected to have one. But, maybe being a dad isn't all that bad. Maybe I can be a good father." | |

| Sweets smiled "I'm sure you will be a great father" she said meaning every word. Then her mind began to drift to something she hadn't thought of before, Cutie marks. What if she still didn't have one by the time they learned about them she knew they would be teased for having a mother without the one thing every pony has, their cutie mark. What if they come to hate her because of it....At these thoughts her eyes began to fill with tears that were soon flowing down her face. | |

| Recurve's eyes wandered around the room until they wandered into a very familiar, yet unpleasant territory. Sweet's tear filled eyes. He had no idea what she was crying about. He did his best to comfort him, once again still hooked up to the hospital bed.
"Hey, what's wrong? Maybe papa Recurve could make it all better." Recurve's line was mostly practice for the foals, with a hint of sarcasm. Maybe some slight humor could lighten up the mood | |

| Sweets looked up "What if I don't have my cutie mark by the time our foal learns about them in school, what if I don't and they are bullied because I don't have something everypony should have by now,what if...what if they hate me..." She says softly letting out small sobs now and then. "What if they start thinking they will never get their Cutie marks? Just like how some ponies inherit their talents from their parents...what if...they never get theirs...?" | |

| Recurve looked down at Sweet. He totally forgot about the whole Cutie Mark thing. Foals did ridicule blank flanks a lot. Kids can be so cruel these days...
"I'm sure you'll find your talent soon enough. Or that our foals will find their talents. Even if they don't, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I've seen a lot of blank flanks and they don't get bothered with ponies picking on them. Everything is going to be fine, Sweet."
Recurve gave her a rather long and passionate kiss. he had no idea where that came from. He must have really wanted his lips to touch hers. | |

| Sweets blushed as she kissed Recurve back before pulling away to what seemed to be all too soon. "I Just don't want them going through what I did as a foal....no pony should.." She says her eyes glassy as the dark memories of her foal hood flew back from the dark corners of her mind. With all the trauma she had as a foal it is anyone's guess as of to how it is she hasn't snapped yet.... | |

| Recurve laid back in his hospital bed. He wished he could be out much sooner. Or at least be able to walk. You can comfort more when you have your mobility, it seems.
He was starting to worry the same problem Sweet was. Their foals not having their Cutie Marks. And being bullied for it. If they were like their dad, they could snap at any moment if they were bullied like that. Recurve would do everything in his power to make sure they don't turn out like he did.
"Maybe we both could use some professional help. Me trying to kill myself and you stressing out over the whole foal business. I think you should see somepony about this. I want you, and the baby, to be fine." | |

| Sweets nodded "I...I think you are right....Maybe I should see somepony" She says and giving him a nuzzle "I'm sorry I make you worry so much...I need more juice..." She says throwing her empty juice box in the trash and opens it holds it in her hooves sipping it as she looks up at Recurve with cute innocent eyes. | |

| Recurve looked at Sweet's eyes. They were possibly Sweet's best feature. They were so sweet, innocent, and beautiful. Unlike his eyes, with either held anger, sadness, or regret. So many things in his life had gone wrong. He shot two ponies in the legs, he was shunned by his whole community, he broke a mare's heart, which he actually enjoyed the company of, and he failed suicide. It felt like Sweet Dreams and their future foals were the only things that kept him holding onto life. The only thing that didn't stop him from yanking wires off of himself in an attempt for him to die. Well now he couldn't, since his emergency wasn't as urgent now.
"Sweet Dreams, I love you. There aren't enough ways or words for me to describe it. You are what is keeping me alive. If you left me, or I left you, my heart would stop. I love you."
(I suggest a time skip. Say, about a month or so?) | |

| ~Time skip~ :Two Months
Sweet Dreams walked towards the hospital tired with bags and dark shadows under her eyes, She was now starting to show much more along with also starting to just get over her morning sickness. She found just the sight of carrots in any form made her sick and she also found that her craving of apples and the juice was stronger then ever and that she also had a craving for peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. So here she was making her way towards Recuve's room a box floating beside her "I hope he likes the cake." | |

| Today was the day Recurve could finally leave the hospital fully healed. He was so glad to finally be out of the hospital bed and walk around again. His leg still had a scar on it, but that should go away soon. Hopefully... Recurve was still sitting in his bed. He didn't know why. Maybe he was just used to sitting in that blank white room. And he could hear Sweet coming.
Recurve had a little something special set up for her when she came in. He knew she had weird cravings because of the new foal. So he had the doctors make some peanut butter and pickle sandwiches for her. He had no idea what she saw in those, but pregnancy does weird things to you. Luckily Recurve won't have to ever worry about that | |

| Sweets opened the door to his room, and smiled tiredly at him. "Morning Recuve, I brought you a cake...I made it myself." She says placing it on the table. "So how are you? Do you feel alright?" | |

| Recurve saw Sweet enter his room and smiled. It was one of the only smiles he had ever since he was first put into that room. His coat shined with glee as she trotted up to her and kissed her cheek. It felt great for his lips to touch her again.
"I'm doing great now. My leg is healed, and you're here. Oh, and thanks for the cake. Wow, you look tired. But I had the ponies here get you something." Recurve pointed to the plate of peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. He might even try one himself if she doesn't gobble them all. "Now, how are you?" | |

| weets eyes sparkled for a moment before she grabs one and starts to eat it happily. After she finishes it she turned towards Recuve. "Oh I'm fine, just been working a lot." She says with a smile as she eats another sandwich. "Oh! But I have some good news! My father wrote me last night." She says pulling out a black envelope. "He says he's happy I finally wrote and that he's curious about you. He says that he was us to come to Manehattan for the annual week long Nightmare Night festival all expanses paid!"
She looks up at him and started to explain.
"It’s something my family does every year for most of the city, Nightmare Night is very important in my family...Sometimes even more then Heaths Warming Eve.." She says smiling "But if you don’t want to go...I'll understand." But in her eyes she was hoping he would want to go. It was one of the biggest festivals of the year and one of the few things she missed of home.

| Recurve looked at Sweet with slight worry. Her father was curious about him? That could be really good or really bad. He would need to be the best he could for him. Not that he would get his disapproval of being with his daughter. He just didn't want to cause another rivalry. Especially with the dad of his pregnant marefriend. With that, Recurve smiled at the offer and their family tradition.
"That sounds wonderful. I'd love to join you guys. Hay, we're gonna be a family pretty soon. Might as well get in on your tradition, right? And I'm thrilled your dad is interested in seeing us." | |

| Sweets smiled the biggest smile ever as she jumped up and down already writing a letter back." This means soooooo much to me" She says to Recurve before making the plan "I'll need to get off work for a week or two...shouldn't be so hard...and we will need to leave a few days early to get there in time.." She says as she makes a list never once stop smiling. | |

| Recurve smiled almost as much as Sweet did with how excited she was that he said yes. He didn't know why she would think he'd say no. Well, there was the idea of him meeting her parents. But Nightmare Night sounded like fun. He waited for Sweet to finish her letter.
"Well I don't have to arrange or take care of anything before we leave. So I'm ready whenever you are."
Recurve looked at the plate of peanut butter and pickle sandwiches again. There was one left. He shrugged and grabbed it. After the first couple bites, he went wide-eyed. He was shocked how great it tasted for a very odd combination. Before he knew it, the sandwich was gone. The speed of it's devouring was like a magic trick. Recurve blushed a bit at how he sort of pigged out with it. | |

| Recurve looked at Sweet. She suggested leaving early. But her earlier tired expression wasn't making it the best idea.
"I think we should both rest up before our 'journey.' You looked exhausted, and you did say you needed to get off work. Just let me know when you're ready." | |

| (THE NEXT MORNING)
Recurve and Sweet Dreams arose from their beds the next morning. Recurve almost rolled out of bed. he was still groggy, not getting the greatest of night's rest. He had a bit of trouble containing some excitement of Nightmare Night and meeting Sweet's parents.
Waiting for Sweet to wake up, Recurve trotted downstairs and lounged on the couch, looking at his bow, tempted to get some practice in. Then he looked at his scarred leg.
"No no no. I promised Sweet I wouldn't play with you." | |
