She opens the gifts for her:
Sweet Stuff: Oh a stuffed teddy bear. Thanks Jessica.
Jessica: No problem. It was at the store so I'd bought it for them. Don't worry there are 2 of them.
Sweet Stuff: Thanks. *Opens 1 from David* A carrier. Oh thank you.
David: I remember carrying *Sobbing* Wishing Star around in 1.
Sweet Stuff: Still worried about her huh? *He nods* That's why I wanted you to take part in this because it'll get your mind off of her. She's fine. *She hugs him* There now don't cry my friend.
David: Your mom named you right. Your sweet. *He smiles*
Sweet Stuff: Now there's the David I know. *Opens another gift* Oh Melissa. Oh its beautiful. *Holds up a blanket* Thanks Melissa.
Melissa: Your welcome. Daddy helped me pick it out.
Sweet Stuff: 1 of the babies is kicking. Anyone wanna feel? *David nods and puts his hand on her stomach*
David: Hi there little 1.
Jessica: You may wanna watch out sometimes Sweet Stuff. Melissa got hiccups sometimes.
Sweet Stuff: How could you tell?
David: Her stomach would feel like the baby was kicking but it happened repeatedly. The doctor said she had the hiccups.
Jessica: To you it felt like that. To me it felt strange. *Suddenly Sweet Stuff starts giggling*
David: What's so funny?
Sweet Stuff: I think 1 of them has the hiccups. *Laughing hysterically*
David: Oh. *Sees her stomach spasm* Yep 1 of them has the hiccups.
Sweet Stuff: Poor thing. How long does it last?
David: Sometimes a few minutes. Sometimes hours.
Jessica: 1 time Melissa got the hiccups and it lasted for 30 minutes. I told David "Honey look." and we both burst out laughing.
David: *Seeing her stomach settle* Guess they went away. So Sweet Stuff we already know 1 of the babies names. What's the other 1 gonna be named?
Sweet Stuff: I'll let her daddy decide.

Months later Sweet Stuff is filling out. David stood right by her every minute the due date:
Sweet Stuff: Thanks so much for being here with me.
David: Its like the last time I helped out. When Wishing Star was born. *She starts breathing heavily* Megan get here quick.
Meanwhile Megan goes to see Mimic:
Megan: Mimic we need your help.
Mimic: Sure. What is it my friend?
Megan: Can we borrow a horseshoe?
Mimic: Sure. *Gasps* Sweet Stuff isn't gonna have her baby soon is she?
Megan: Getting close. *Just then her cell rings* Hello.
David: *On the phone* Megan Sweet Stuff has just went into labor. Breath Sweet Stuff, breath.
Megan: Alright we'll be there soon. *Suddenly crying can be heard*
David: *On the phone* Its a girl Sweet Stuff. We have a baby that has just been born. Oh Sweet Stuff she looks just like you. Megan if you can get her quick.
Megan: Got it. *Hangs up and smiles* Sweet Stuff just had her first baby daughter. *Mimic nods and they head there via her unicorn magic and just in time because the second baby was about to be born*
David: 1 more push Sweet Stuff. Its like being a daddy again. *She does and the second baby is born* The doctor is right. They are identical twins. Hi Megan. Help with Sweet Stuff and her new twins. Gonna call Jessica and give her the good news. Also need to call Salty.
Megan: I'll call Salty. You call your wife and Melissa. *He nods and dials his wife's number*
David: Hello Jessica. Sweet Stuff just had her twins. *Holds the phone away from his ear as she yippees into the phone* Oh yeah. They both look like her. The doctor was right. They are identical twins. *She asks him something* Well she already told me 1 is gonna be named Baby Sweet Stuff after her. Not sure what the other will be. *She asks something* Sure come on over after work. *Megan walks up smiling ear to ear*
Megan: Salty screamed so loud when he heard the news I had to hold the phone away for a few minutes. Let's get this girl to the hospital. *He nods and they ride on a cloud that Mimic conjured up with her horseshoe*
David: Bet ya Melissa is gonna hit the roof when she hears about Sweet Stuff. *Megan nods*

They head to the hospital and everyone is waiting there:
David: We're here. *They start to go near them* 1 at a time now. Don't crowd. *Sweet Stuff opens her hooves and there were 2 new baby fillies*
Shady: Oh. They're so cute.
Heartthrob: We have to remember which baby is which. They are identical after all.
David: Hmm. *Snaps his fingers* I got it. Sweet Stuff you decide on the clothing which 1 of them will wear.
Megan: But whatever you do don't let them wear the same or else you'll never tell them apart. My cousin has twin girls and boy is it hard to tell them apart. *Salty runs up*
Salty: Oh You're right Megan they are beautiful. *Melissa and Jessica arrive*
Jessica: Where are they? Where are the new arrivals? *She looks down* Oh. They look just like you. Uh oh. That might be a problem.
Sweet Stuff: David and Megan already helped me with figuring out which is which. *They take her inside and the babies are weighed*
David: I bet ya Wishing Star would have been elated to see new babies.
Sweet Stuff: Me too. *The doctor comes in with both in tow*
Doctor: We have healthy baby twin girls. This 1 is 7lbs 4oz. Or is it this 1? *They all laugh* Wait I have their charts right here. *Looks at them* Yep its this 1. The other is 7lbs 6oz. A little bigger than her twin.
David: So have you thought of a name for these 2?
Sweet Stuff: The older 1 will be Baby Sweet Stuff.
Doctor: That's simple because she's the bigger 1.
David: And the other 1?
Sweet Stuff: Salty? *He whispers to her* Great idea.
Salty: David since you helped Sweet Stuff with the delivery you get to name the other baby.
David: Really? *They nod* I got it. Cutie Pie.
Sweet Stuff: Then Cutie Pie it is.

Windwhistler: We have a problem. We need a babysitter for the babies at Paradise Estate. *Melissa whispers to David*
David: Don't see why not. Windwhistler I have the best babysitter right here. My daughter.
Sweet Stuff: Oh I wouldn't want her not to have a chance to hold the new babies.
Melissa: Sweet Stuff I have babysat before. Please Windwhistler?
Windwhistler: If the adults don't object to it then I don't see a problem with it.
Shady: Sure.
Twilight Sparkle: *Walking up* Then its settled. I'll wink you there now.
Shady: Just a moment. Melissa I want my little girl to start potty training today. *She nods*
Windwhistler: And check up on Baby Windwhistler's daughter, Windchime. She has a sore throat.
David: Sounds like a case of tonsillitis. *Windwhistler nods*
Baby Windwhistler: If she starts coughing really bad call me.
David: So I take it you know about tonsils?
Shady: Yes.
Gusty: Oh and could you check on Baby Gusty please. The poor thing hasn't been feeling well either. Stomach ache, high fever and says her tummy hurts.
Megan and David: Uh oh.
Gusty: That's what I was thinking. Does anyone know what might be wrong with her?
David: You mean you never heard of appendicitis? *She thinks*
Gusty: I've heard about it.
Melissa: I got really sick 1 time and daddy had me rushed to the E.R. I was clutching my stomach and crying. They had to do emergency appendectomy on me. Mama was with the whole time till I fell asleep.
David: Melissa if she shows the same signs that you had call us pronto.
Ponies: Huh?
Windwhistler: And everyone says I say things that they can't understand. I bet ya he means immediately. *They all "Oh"*
Shady: I never had mine taken out but I heard it hurts.
Jessica: The pain is almost unbearable. It feels like you need to pass gas. *They nod*
Melissa: I'll keep an eye on her Gusty.

Twilight Sparkle winks her to Paradise Estate and leaves and Melissa walks in and sees Baby Lickety-Split in tears:
Melissa: Baby Lickety-Split what's wrong?
Baby Lickety-Split: Baby Windchime can hardly talk, and I just checked on Baby Gusty. Melissa she's not moving. I think she's dead. I said so many rotten things about her. *Starts crying*
Melissa: Let's check on her and Windchime. Bet ya I know what's wrong with Baby Gusty. *She walks into the nursery and nudges Baby Gusty who groans* Baby Gusty what's wrong buddy?
Baby Gusty: Tummy hurt bad.
Melissa: Can you tell me where? *She nods and points* Just as I thought. Baby Gusty I'm gonna ask you a few questions okay? Just think of me as a junior nurse. Scale from 1-10 how would you rate your pain? 1 meaning not too bad. 10 being the worst you ever felt.
Baby Gusty: 7.
Melissa: Next question. Where did it start?
Baby Gusty: Right up here. *Points to her chest*
Melissa: Mm-hmm.
Baby Lickety-Split: This isn't getting us anywhere.
Melissa: Yes it is. Please let me continue. The nurses asked me these same questions. Besides my mom is a nurse. *She nods* Baby Gusty does anywhere else hurt? *She nods and starts crying* Poor girl. Can you show me? *She points at her side and back* Mm-hmm. Baby Gusty do you feel like you have to throw up?
Baby Gusty: Yes.
Baby Lickety-Split: She threw up just a few minutes ago.
Melissa: Thanks. Let me check your temp. Baby Lickety-Split can you give me the baby thermometer? *She nods and comes back* Good its 1 that goes across your forehead. *Runs it over her head and looks* Oh you are 1 sick pony alright. 101.9. That is high. 1 more test. Baby Gusty its gonna hurt but trust me I know what I'm doing.
Baby Gusty: Anything to make me feel better.
Melissa: You have to roll on your back first. *She does* Okay here goes. If it hurts yell, cry or whatever. *Pushes on the spot and lets go and Baby Gusty screams*
Baby Gusty: That hurt. *Starts crying*
Melissa: I know. I'm sorry. But I had to do it honey. Are you mad? *She shakes her head* Alright no questions asked you need to go to the E.R.
Baby Gusty: Okay. *Practically in tears*
Baby Lickety-Split: Can I go with her? For support.
Melissa: If that's okay with her.
Baby Gusty: Of course she can.
Melissa: Gotta call my dad and tell him we have 2 sick babies coming.

David's cell rings:
David: Hello. Hang on let me get Gusty. *Hands her the phone*
Gusty: Hello. Melissa I'll be there in a second. Yes I'll pick up Windchime while I'm there. *Just then Melissa screams* Melissa what happened? *She listens* She what? She passed out? Okay stay calm. David I may need your wife to come with me. Your daughter is hysterical right now. Baby Gusty just passed out on her.
Jessica: I'm here and I heard everything. It might be a good idea I go anyway so I can access what happened. *They wink to Paradise Estate and Melissa is seen trying to get Baby Gusty to respond*
Melissa: Baby Gusty please don't die. *She sees Jessica* Mom she said her pain was a 7. Her temp was 101.9 and she screamed out in pain when I touched her side.
Jessica: Your quite the little junior nurse. Let me see her. *She nods* Ooh your right she is warm. Its too dangerous to take her via unicorn magic. Do you have an emergency number Gusty?
Gusty: 911.
Jessica: Just like ours. I can't treat her without my equipment. *Gusty dials 911*
Melissa: Sorry I panicked.
Jessica: Its okay. You did the right thing and called your dad.
Gusty: I just got off the phone with the operator. The ambulance will be here in a second. *Sees her upset* Melissa its okay. You did okay. Jessica looks like you're not the only nurse in your family.
Jessica: She learns from the best. *Sirens are heard and Gusty grabs Windchime who's whimpering in her sleep. Baby Lickety-Split comes up with tears in her eyes*
Baby Lickety-Split: Before they take her I want to say something to her. *She nods* Baby Gusty I'm sorry for how I treated you. And if you can still hear me I want you to pull through this alright? Because if you don't I'll never forgive myself. *She starts bawling* The last thing I said to her was "I hate you". We got into an argument like always. And then we yelled. *The paramedics come in and take her in the ambulance*
Melissa: Mom promise me and Baby Lickety-Split something.
Jessica: Sure and I bet I already know what it is. I promise to call you to let you know how it went. *Jessica grabs a hold of Gusty's mane and they wink to the hospital with Windchime in tow*
Melissa: Now we wait. But I have another idea we can do.
Baby Lickety-Split: What?
Melissa: Pray. Pray that Baby Gusty makes it through okay. *Baby Lickety-Split nods in agreement*

They rush Baby Gusty to the hospital:
Paramedics: Hang in there Baby Gusty. *They take her in and wheel her past David*
David: Is she gonna be okay?
Paramedic: She will be. We'll take her to the E.R and get back to you on that. *Jessica and Gusty arrive via unicorn magic*
Gusty: Did they bring my daughter in? *He nods* Okay. David could you call and check on Baby Lickety-Split. She was pretty upset.
David: I'm on it.
Meanwhile in the E.R:
Doctor: What do we got?
Paramedics: Daughter of a human named David said that she said her tummy hurt and then she passed out. *The doctor nods*
Doctor: Baby Gusty its me Dr. Trinket. We're gonna find out what happened.
Back with David and the others:
Baby Windwhistler: I heard she collapsed.
David: Yes she did.
Baby Windwhistler: David could you do me a favor?
David: Sure.
Baby Windwhistler: Take my daughter to her pediatrician. I'm gonna go get some things for her. *He nods and calls Melissa*
David: They just took her in. I'll call you as soon as we know anything okay? And tell Baby Lickety-Split its gonna be okay. Tell her you've been through this before.

David takes Windchime to the pediatrician's office:
David: We'll get ya fixed right up buddy. *She whimpers* What's wrong?
Windchime: *Hoarsely* Baby Gusty was so sick. You sure she'll be okay?
David: I'm sure honey. *He takes her in* Hello we have a sick pegasi here.
Dr. Knitz: Ah I see. What's wrong?
David: Sounds like tonsils.
Dr. Knitz: Those aren't fun. Open up. *She does and the doctor gasps* Its worse than we thought. Strep throat.
David: Ouch.
Dr. Knitz: You must be 1 of the humans the little ponies always talk about. I'm gonna run a test. Be right back with a nurse. *He leaves*
David: Sounds like you might need to stay overnight. Tell ya what. If you want we can ask if Baby Gusty and you can be in the same room with each other. *She nods and the doctor comes back with a cotton swab*
Doctor Knitz: Open up please. *She does and as the doctor swabs her throat David sees Megan at the window*
David: Windchime I'll be right back okay? You do as the doctor tells ya. *She nods and he goes to the window* Hey Megan. Any word on Baby Gusty?
Megan: Yeah. Your little daughter is a hero. Baby Gusty's appendix burst. They're still working on her. *David nods*
David: Soon as I get Windchime settled with the doctor for Baby Windwhistler I'll call Melissa. *She nods and he walks back to her* I have good news Windchime. Baby Gusty will be just fine. *She smiles and the doctor comes back*
Dr. Knitz: Its strep alright. Hop on up. *She does* You do know what sleeping gas is right? *She nods* Good. If you want you can hold onto your buddy's hand there. *She does and he pulls it down and over her mouth* Just breath normally. *She does and within minutes Windchime is asleep* I'll come and get you when we're done. *He nods and leaves to call Melissa*
David: Come on girl pick up. *She answers and he hears crying* Melissa is Baby Lickety-Split still upset?
Melissa: Yes. I've tried to console her. Any news on Baby Gusty?
David: Her appendix burst. They're still working on her. Melissa you're a hero.
Melissa: Only did what mom taught me.
David: Get Baby Lickety-Split on the phone will ya? *She does* Baby Lickety-Split, Baby Gusty will be fine I promise.
Baby Lickety-Split: What if she hates me?
David: Tell ya what. When she's out I'll ask her if you can speak to her.
Baby Lickety-Split: If she even wants to.
David: I'll ask.

1 hour later Baby Gusty wakes up in the recovery room:
Baby Gusty: Melissa? Baby Lickety-Split.
Nurse: Oh hey Baby Gusty.
Baby Gusty: My appendix must have burst huh?
Nurse: Yes. You were lucky. *She throws up all over the floor*
Baby Gusty: Sorry.
Nurse: Don't be. You're sick. Your mom is waiting outside. Want to see her?
Baby Gusty: Yes please. What about Baby Lickety-Split?
Nurse: All I saw was your mom. You can ask her. *She wheels her out* Here she is.
Gusty: How are you feeling?
Baby Gusty: Awful in more ways than 1.
Gusty: How so?
Baby Gusty: Well having your appendix burst doesn't feel all that great. And remember what happened the other day with me and Baby Lickety-Split?
Gusty: Yeah. You said you never wanted to talk to her ever again.
Baby Gusty: And yet when she saw I was sick she was crying. *She gets tears in her eyes* I'm a bad pony.
Gusty: Now, now Baby Gusty. She feels pretty bad too.
Baby Gusty: Ask David if she can come to the hospital. We need to have a talk. *She nods*
Meanwhile back in the pediatric ward they are waiting on Windchime and David went to get her something:
Baby Windwhistler: A bear? Oh she'll love that. *A nurse comes out*
Nurse: She's awake. And yeah I think we can arrange it to where Baby Gusty and Windchime can be in the same room. *They go in and she has her head on a pillow*
David: I got something for ya. Now which 1 do you want? The blue or the brown? *She points at the blue* Then this 1 goes to Baby Gusty. *She motions him forward* Okay. *He walks up to her and she hugs him* Your welcome. *They wheel her out and go to the room where Baby Gusty is getting set up for her overnight stay*
Baby Gusty: David!!!!!! *She smiles ear to ear* And Windchime. *She then frowns*
David: What's wrong Baby Gusty? *She explains* Oh. You know what? She feels pretty bad how she treated you. Did you hear her when you passed out?
Baby Gusty: *In tears* Yes and that made me feel worse. How could I have said something like that?
David: I have an idea. I promised Melissa I'd call her when you got out. I'll see if Twilight Sparkle can pick Baby Lickety-Split up so you 2 can talk. *She nods*
Baby Gusty: But what if she still hates me?
David: We'll see. *Calls Melissa on the phone* She just got out. Well I'm gonna ask Twilight Sparkle if she can't come and pick her up. Alright. Bye.

Twilight Sparkle goes to get Baby Lickety-Split at David's request. She's still teary-eyed:
David: Good to see you Baby Lickety-Split. *She heads in and sees her* I'll leave you 2 alone. *He leaves the room and Baby Lickety-Split climbs on the bed*
Baby Lickety-Split: I was worried about you.
Baby Gusty: Yeah I know. Did you mean what you said? *Before she can even finish the question Baby Lickety-Split answers*
Baby Lickety-Split: No I was just mad.
Baby Gusty: No silly. What you said when I passed out.
Baby Lickety-Split: You heard?
Baby Gusty: Every word. *Baby Lickety-Split starts bawling*
Baby Lickety-Split: I'm sorry, I was just mad and when you said you never wanted to talk to me again I..... I said the first thing that came into my head. Then when you got sick I felt remorse. Can you forgive me?
Baby Gusty: That was a heartfelt apology. But before I give you my answer I wanna apologize for saying that. I was wrong. I should have never gotten mad at you. Can you forgive me?
Baby Lickety-Split: No. *She gasps* Now hold on. I have to tell you why. We have to forgive each other so can you forgive me?
Baby Gusty: Of course. Now can you forgive me?
Baby Lickety-Split: Well what you did say was hurtful but yeah I can forgive you. Friends?
Baby Gusty: Friends. *They both hug crying and David walks in*
David: That's better.
Baby Gusty: I have an idea. I need some company and so does Windchime. How about you help out watching both of us?
David: What am I? Chopped liver? *They scratch their heads* It means that you don't think I'm important. *Smirks* Eh I'm kidding.
Baby Gusty: Of course you can help to. *Throws a pillow at him and sticks her tongue out*
David: Your lucky your sick or I'd have a pillow fight with you right now.
Baby Lickety-Split: Oh really? *They nod at each other*
Both: Pillow fight. *They throw more pillows at him*
David: Oh now your in for it. *They keep it up till Baby Gusty hunches over in pain* You okay?
Baby Gusty: Yeah. It kind of hurts though.
David: Alright then you need your rest. And no more playing around. *They nod*

David: Hey would you 2 like to see the babies? *Windchime sends a telepathic message* Oh yeah. Strep throat is contagious. Baby Gusty you probably shouldn't pick the babies up either.
Baby Gusty: Am I contagious?
David: No. *Jessica comes in and smiles*
Jessica: Trust my husband. He knows what he's talking about. Our daughter had appendicitis too. Her's didn't burst but it came close.
David: She's an E.R nurse too by the way Baby Gusty. She helped with Melissa's procedure. In fact that's why I fell in love with her.
Baby Gusty: Because she helped with your procedure?
David: No. But she looked at 1 of my injuries 1 time. *Rolls up his sleeve* This happened during a wreck on my bike. I hated needles. She was just becoming a junior nurse and she was 16, I had just turned 17. I asked her out on a date and we fell in love. When I turned 23 I asked her to marry me.
Baby Gusty: What happened?
Jessica: Broken arm.
Baby Gusty: Ouch. So how long after you 2 were married did Melissa come along?
David: Well let's see. It was Valentine's day and she was really sick. She took a pregnancy test and we found out she was pregnant. She said "I'm pregnant". Also tell her our little surprise.
Jessica: I'm pregnant again.
Baby Gusty: No way. Does Melissa know?
David: Not yet. See that's why I want to see Wishing Star again. She'd be elated to know she's got another brother/sister coming.

David: Now then. *Looks in a closet* Ah here we go. *Pulls out a face mask* Sit up Windchime. *She does and he puts it around her mouth* That way you don't spread your germs. Babies immune systems aren't fully developed when they are born. They can get sick easily. *She nods* And Baby Gusty the reason you shouldn't pick up 1 of the twins is because you just had surgery. *She nods and he picks them both up* Tell me if you need to throw up Baby Gusty okay?
Baby Gusty: Okay. Baby Lickety-Split you wanna come buddy? I promise you that they will love you.
Baby Lickety-Split: Sure. *They head in and Sweet Stuff smiles*
Sweet Stuff: Hey Windchime and Baby Gusty. And hi Baby Lickety-Split. *Whispers to David* Are you sure its safe for those 2 to be in the same room with each other?
David: They made up.
Sweet Stuff: Great. So who wants to see the babies first? *Windchime nods* Good thinking David putting that mask on her. Baby Windwhistler told me she has strep. *He grabs her and leans her next to the babies*
Windchime: *Hoarsely* They are so cute. What are their names?
Sweet Stuff: The 1 in the blue dress is Baby Sweet Stuff and the 1 in the green is Cutie Pie. *She nods and he puts her down*
Baby Gusty: My turn. *She looks in there* Oh Sweet Stuff they are beautiful. Its too bad I can't hold them. *She nods* Uh oh. David I need a trashcan or something quick. I'm going to hurl. *Baby Lickety-Split comes over with a basin and just in time* Thanks buddy.
David: I'll take you 2 back to your rooms. Baby Lickety-Split you coming?
Baby Lickety-Split: In just a minute. I wanna hold them.
David: Be gentle okay? *She nods and David leaves*
Sweet Stuff: Wow you 2 have changed. *She hands over Baby Sweet Stuff* Be gentle. She was just fed.

Meanwhile at Baby Gusty's and Windchime's room:
Baby Gusty: Ugh I don't feel so good.
David: You gonna be alright buddy? *She starts crying* Does it hurt that badly? *She nods* Hold on honey. Melissa was sore after her appendectomy. *Hits the call button* We need to get you some morphine. *The nurse comes in*
Nurse: Aw. Are we sore? *She nods* Hold on. *Goes out and comes back with a needle*
Baby Gusty: N.... needle? I scared of needles.
David: Baby Gusty look at your I.V bag. *She does* Now look further down. *She does* See that part of the tube?
Baby Gusty: The 1 with an opening?
David: Yep. That needle won't even touch you. *The nurse gives her the morphine*
Nurse: There. That should help with the pain. *Baby Lickety-Split comes in with a wet spot on her dress*
Baby Gusty: Did you spill water on yourself?
Baby Lickety-Split: No. *Snickers* 1 of the newborns spit up on me. *They both start to laugh*
David: That's what babies do. Melissa spat up on me once. Actually twice. Okay I confess quite a bit.
Baby Lickety-Split: And I got to change 1 of them. *She smiles*
David: And to think a few years back you were jealous of the newborn twins.
Baby Lickety-Split: That was years ago. David we have a confession to make. We used to be friends years ago. Then 1 day we got in an argument. But today when I saw Baby Gusty passed out I remembered that we used to be friends. Thanks for forgiving me.
Baby Gusty: No problem friend. Besides I was at fault as well. *Windchime wakes up and points at her tummy*
David: Hungry huh? *She nods* I have just the thing. Ice cream. *She squeals* I bought it while you were getting your tonsils out. Best thing for a sore throat.
Baby Gusty: Did Melissa ever have hers taken out?
David: When she was 3. She screamed for her daddy when they were gonna take her to get her tonsils taken out. I told her "Be a good girl and go with them and I'll buy you some ice cream." So she did and as promised I gave her ice cream. *Goes to the freezer* Baby Gusty when you feel better I have something for you too. But I also have a surprise for you. *Windchime smiles* Sh. Now close your eyes Baby Gusty. *She does* Hold out your hooves. *She does and he places a teddy bear in her arms* Now open them. *She does and squeals*
Baby Gusty: A teddy bear. Oh thank you, thank you, thank you. *She hugs him* Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
David: Yeah its gonna hurt for awhile. *She yawns* Stop that. *He yawns* Great you got me started. *They both laugh* Get you some sleep buddy.

1 hour later Gusty goes to check on them and awes at the sight of David asleep with a book in his hands. She nudges him:
David: Oh. Gusty. I must have nodded off. I was just reading Windchime a story. *She nods and looks over at Baby Gusty and gasps*
Gusty: A teddy bear?
David: Something wrong?
Gusty: Oh no. She loves teddy bears. And I think I know who gave her 1. *Smiles at him* Megan is right. You have a way with kids. And you.... *Hugs him* have a big heart.
David: That I do.
Gusty: You need a break you just ask. Speaking of breaks where's Baby Lickety-Split? I wanna talk to her.
David: Down getting some lunch. *She comes back up but hides behind a door* Baby Lickety-Split come in buddy.
Baby Lickety-Split: I'm scared to.
Gusty: I think I know why. Is it because of how you used to treat my daughter?
Baby Lickety-Split: Uh huh.
Gusty: I heard what happened today. Baby Lickety-Split did you think I'd be mad at you? *She nods and starts crying* Oh honey.
Baby Lickety-Split: I thought you would hate me for the rest of my life.
Gusty: Now Baby Lickety-Split. Yes what you said wasn't very nice but listen to me. Are you listening? *She nods* Me and your mom used to have quarrels as well. There was a time or 2 when we said "I'm never gonna speak to you again". But friends have disagreements sometimes. Baby Lickety-Split listen to me. I would never hate you. Never.
Baby Lickety-Split: But.
Gusty: Ah, ah, ah. No buts. Remember what we used to say about them.
David: I bet ya I know what it is. "Butts are for sitting not for excuses." right?
Gusty: Yep. Anyway you asked for forgiveness.
Baby Lickety-Split: But that day years ago. Remember. You said "You tell your daughter to leave my Baby Gusty alone".
Gusty: Oh. Honey I was just mad. I thought you had hurt her. Adults say things they don't mean sometimes.
Baby Lickety-Split: But I did hurt her. I threw her off the pillows playing "Queen of the mountain".
Gusty: Yeah but your mom and I talked later and I apologized for yelling at her. But I didn't realize you were hurt by what I said. *Tears well up in her eyes* And when I heard that Baby Gusty collapsed I thought I might lose her. Then Melissa told me something over the phone. She said you were crying. Was it because if she died that you could never tell her how sorry you were?
Baby Lickety-Split: That and I could never live with the guilt.
Gusty: Baby Lickety-Split that was an honest answer. *She picks her up* Tell ya what when she feels better you 2 can play "Queen of the mountain" or whatever you want. In fact *Pulls out a piece of paper*
Baby Lickety-Split: That's the paper you wrote that message on to keep me away from Baby Gusty. *She nods and rips it in half* Why'd you do that?
Gusty: Because you 2 are friends. Why should I keep you 2 from ever seeing each other. *She smiles* Now then cheer up. Cheer up or I'll tickle you till you do. *Baby Lickety-Split smiles* That's better. Now can you forgive me for yelling at you?
Baby Lickety-Split: Of course. *They hug*
Gusty: Now if you need a break you just ask. *She nods and David heads out*
David: Gonna go see the babies. Keep an eye on Windchime and Baby Gusty will ya Baby Lickety-Split? *She nods*

He goes into Sweet Stuff's room:
Sweet Stuff: David. Oh its great that you came to see me. I have a favor to ask. *He nods* Gusty and I were talking when she came to see the babies. They're all gonna take shifts watching the babies. You know when I'm sleeping. Anyway I was wondering how would you like to take a shift?
David: Really? What about Baby Gusty and Windchime?
Sweet Stuff: Baby Lickety-Split can watch them. And if she falls asleep she'll have backup. *He nods and picks up 1 of the babies who instantly opens her eyes* Oh. The moment of truth. Let's see what she does. *She looks up and starts cooing*
David: She likes me. Your such a cutie. Yes you are. So which 1 is this? And tell me what she's gonna wear every time you change her clothes so I know who she is. That is until she's older.
Sweet Stuff: Baby Sweet Stuff. *He tosses her up in the air* What are you doing?
David: Babies love this. I used to do this to Melissa a lot. She giggled every time. *She looks down and Baby Sweet Stuff isn't crying but is still cooing* See?
Sweet Stuff: I see. Whew. *Lays back down* Don't ever scare me like that.
David: 1 more thing she needs a change. I got it though.
Sweet Stuff: *Giggling* I still remember hearing the first time you changed Wishing Star's diaper.
David: Yeah back then it didn't seem funny to me. But I'm used to it by now. Especially seeing the black stuff. *Changes her* She was just wet.
Sweet Stuff: You sure do have a way with kids. *She smiles*
David: Back to your crib little 1. *He sets her in there and she falls back to sleep* Such a sweet baby. *Picks up Cutie Pie and she opens her eyes* I wonder what she'll do. *She starts cooing* Ha. How about that? They both like me. We're gonna have tons of fun Cutie Pie yes we are. Speaking of babies did you hear?
Sweet Stuff: What? *Pauses* No way. You don't mean.
David: She's 3 weeks pregnant.
Sweet Stuff: Is Melissa excited?
David: We haven't told her yet. Her birthday is tomorrow so we're gonna tell her then. And Sweet Stuff can I ask a favor? *She nods* As a birthday surprise can she hold the twins?
Sweet Stuff: Sure. Oh I can't wait to see the new baby.
David: Me too.
Sweet Stuff: When did you find out?
David: After our anniversary.
Sweet Stuff: Cool. Now remember don't make that baby a stranger here in Ponyland. *Saying teasingly*
David: Of course not. We'll tell Melissa after she's done holding the twins tomorrow. *Sweet Stuff nods*
