Story: Life with Paradox – Chapter 45

“Watch me! Dox! Dox watch.” Snafu was yelling. “Come on! Watch me!”

Paradox sat on the couch holding Selene she was sniffling and crying lightly. “Snafu, please I’m busy with Selene.”

“But Dox. I’m tryin’ to cheer you and Selene up.” Snafu landed next to his older brother and looked at his niece. The colt tilted his head. “What’s she crying for?”snafu

Paradox looked at his brother, he was just a young colt had just started to fly, he was the same age as Rune Eclipse, but she was way more advanced in magic and flight talent. “She teething.” He answered as he tried to use some healing magic on her.

“Teasing?” He tilted his head the other way.

“No… You see… her teeth are coming in. It hurts her.” Paradox mumbled. “Why did mom drop you off here?”

“I wanted to visit you and Silver.” Snafu said haltingly.

Paradox gave him a look. “Uh huh… I don’t believe you.”

“Dad wanted to tell you he’s sorry?” Snafu grinned.

Paradox shook his head. “If he’s sorry he should apologize to my face.”

Snafu smiled. “Want me to tell dad that?”

Paradox rocked Selene in his arms, his healing magic was able to make her fall asleep. He shook his head. “No. I’ll talk to him later. Eventually.”

“Why are you mad at dad?” He asked as he stretched his gossamer wings. The wings resembled the butterfly wings on Fluttershy’s cutie mark.

Paradox looked at his brother with a slight frown. “He knows why I’m mad, you don’t need to be a part of it.” He stood up and carried Selene upstairs, Snafu followed him. Paradox went into the nursery. Solana was sleeping soundly as Paradox placed Selene next to her in the crib. He turned to his brother. “Come on.”

Snafu walked out if the nursery with his brother. Paradox closed the door gently and started downstairs. Snafu looked at the door then followed his brother. “They sleep a lot.”

“They’re just starting to get teeth, and they are learning to talk. A full day makes them sleepy so they need a nap.” Paradox explained.

“Do I need a nap?” Snafu asked.

“If only I was that lucky.” He muttered. “No Snafu, you’re old enough to make that decision on your own.” Paradox said for his brother to hear.

Snafu yawned and looked at his brother guiltily. “I’m not tired.”

“Yeah. I don’t believe you. The couch is unoccupied go take a nap, I have to start a new painting.”

Snafu grinned. “I can help!”

Paradox frowned. “I don’t need help painting. It’s what I do… please Snafu go take a nap, I can tell you’re tired.”

His brother made a face. “But Dox… I’m not sleepy.” He yawned again.

“Hmm yeah. You’re not sleepy… when Silver gets home. I’ll take you back to mom and dads.”

Snafu didn’t say anything as he watched his brother pick up a paint brush.

Paradox walked to the canvas that he had placed on an easel earlier in the day. He looked at the blank white surface and stared at it.

Snafu blinked, he looked at his brother then at the canvas. He looked back and forth again then suddenly yawned. “I’m going to take a nap.” He announced as he flew into the living room and landed on the couch.

Paradox grinned to himself as he put the brush into the first color. “That’s what I thought…” He had put a mild sleep spell on his brother and was wondering when it was going to kick in.

Silver walked in the bedroom and saw Paradox lying on the bed. He had been moody ever since talking to Zero. She walked slowly over to him didn’t say anything as she sat down on the bed.

He glanced over at Silver and slowly turned on his side facing her. “Silver…”

She looked at him. “Yes Doxy?”

“I’m not going crazy am I? I do have a twin right?” He asked.

She shook her head. “You’re not going crazy. You have a sister named LillyRose; remember I was her friend. I remember the first time I met her…”

Silver was sitting next to Rainbow Dash at preschool. She was shaking nervously as she looked at the other fillies and colts around. “Hey, relax Silver, you won’t be going here full time.” Rainbow Dash smiled at her foal. “You’ll be going to flight school part time in Cloudsdale. Here you’ll socialize with others your own age.”

“I don’t wanna.” Silver said as she hid her face inside Rainbow’s tail.

“Hello?” A voice said to Silver.

Silver uncovered her eyes and looked up at the owner of the voice. LillyRose was smiling at her showing her fang. “I umm… Hi.” Silver said softly. “I’m Silver.”

LillyRose smiled. “I’m Lilly. It’s so good to see you.” She flapped her wings as she turned to look behind her. “That colt over there talking to that filly… it’s my twin brother Paradox.”

Silver looked at the colt and just stared. He was standing on his back legs and leaning against a shelf as he chatted with a filly who was blushing and giggling. “That’s your twin?” She looked back at Lilly.flashbackclr

Lilly nodded. “Yeah, he’s weird. Come on. I want to show you these toys I found.”

Silver looked up at her mother. “Go on Silver, Lilly is my friend’s daughter, she’s almost as cool as you.” Rainbow Dash smiled. Silver trotted after Lilly but looked back at Paradox again and gave a huge sigh.

Lilly and Silver played all that day. Silver enjoyed playing hide and seek. Found out Lilly was really good at magic when they played make believe. She made the little dolls move.

Fluttershy came over to the daycare to get Lilly and Paradox. She saw Lilly playing with Silver and smiled. Rainbow Dash showed up a few moments later landing next to Fluttershy. “Thank you Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy blinked at her friend. “Why are you thanking me?”

“My little filly started today and Lilly was the first one to make friends with her.”

“You should thank Lilly as well.” Fluttershy whispered.

“Mom!” Paradox said as he flew over to Fluttershy and hugged her front leg. “This place is boring. I don’t want to come back. There aren’t enough ponies to talk to.” He looked up at Rainbow Dash. “Hi… aunt Rainbow… um… I swear I’ve been good… I don’t wanna do laps…”

Lilly and Silver walked in giggling and talking. They both stopped and looked at their mothers. Silver turned to Lilly. “I had fun. Friends?”

Lilly nodded. “Yes. Friends.” They giggled as they hugged.

Paradox made a face at Lilly as she walked up to him and Fluttershy. She stuck her tongue out at him.

Silver trotted over to her mom waving at Lilly but her eyes were drawn to Paradox. She felt her cheeks warm up as she looked at him she also felt like her little heart was going to fall out of her chest. She looked at her mother in shock when she realized she was talking to her.

“Huh?”

“Did you have fun?” Rainbow asked her daughter again.

“Yes. Lilly and I had a lot of fun. Do I really have to go to flight school?”

++

Paradox looked at her as he lay in his back. “You had a crush on me way back then?”

She nodded. “Of course. As soon as I saw you… I was fascinated with you. You ignored me. I think you ignored me because I was Lilly’s friend.”

He stared at her for a long moment. “Lilly is a good sister. I guess I didn’t think of her friends as date material, because I didn’t want to ruin her friendships because I dated them.” He made a face as he sighed. “What is Solana and Selene doing?”

Silver smiled. “They aren’t here… Mom is watching them today, she’s visiting Sweet Apple Acres and she wanted to show the foals off. Plus, Dad wanted to see them, he’s been so busy with cider season going on.”

Paradox’s ears went up. “Oh… really?” He started to smile slightly.

Silver smiled and nodded as her cheeks started to redden with a blush. “Yes, we have all afternoon together.” She slowly crawled onto the bed more while looking into his eyes. He kept lying on his back as he watched her crawl towards him.

“You have a wicked little smile on your face.” He said softly.

“I know.” She said as she got closer to him.

“Should I be scared for my life?” He asked.

“Do you think you should be?” She asked as she placed her hoof on his leg. She sat up slightly and looked at him as he lay on his back. “It doesn’t look like you’re too scared.” Her cheeks were burning as she looked at him.

Paradox looked up at her she was so sexy and he was fully aroused. “Oh, I’m scared… stiff.” He whispered to her.

Silver grinned as she slowly moved closer to him and saw his full arousal. “I see that.” She said seductively. “I wonder if I should alleviate your fears.” She moved her hoof up his leg and inner thigh.

He breathed out shakily. “I think that would be a good idea.”

Silver kissed his knee and smiled at him. “Does that help?” She asked innocently.

He shook his head. “I think up further.” He said.

Silver slowly moved up more and looked at his arousal. “I hope it’s not painful, you are swollen.” She said softly as she slowly moved her hoof up and rubbed him slowly.

“Oh… Silver… Your touch.” He moaned.

She nodded as she glanced at his face. “I think I should wrap it in something warm and moist to help its swelling. What do you think?”

Paradox was panting as she rubbed him softly. “Oh yes. Please.”

She lifted one of her legs up over him and held his cock in place as she lowered herself on him, she rubbed his tip over her folds as she gasped out at the feel of his girth spreading her. “Oh… Doxy. You’re so hard…” She panted as she pushed down on him more.

He let out a huff of pleasure as she pushed down on him. He shuddered at the feel of her, she was tight and hot; he bit on his bottom lip to control his urge to let his desire go. “So… tight…” He managed to say.cowgirlresize

She slowly moved her hips as she rode him. She looked at his face as she did so and was rewarded with a look of pleasure and lust.

He put his paws on her hips and rubbed his fingers through her fine fur she was moving on him making him growl in desire. “Oh… Silver…” He grit his teeth.

“Ah… uh Doxy…” She panted out as she rode him rhythmically, pulling and pushing setting a steady pace which caused him to growl more and more as his need to take over the love making increased.

“Silver… gods… I’m…” He grabbed her tightly on her hips. “You’re causing me to…” He held her tightly suddenly as he started to take over and thrust up into her hard and fast. “Ah… Silver…”

“Oh! Yes! DOXY!” She panted out as he gripped her and thrust up into her hard and fast. “Yes! Yes! Oh! Please yes!”

They both shuddered in orgasmic pleasure as they came together. “Oh!”

He growled deeply as he held her tightly. “Oh Silver… You make me feel wonderful.”

She panted as she felt his arousal was still hard within her. She moved slightly and he let out a growl as he tightened his grip. “Doxy, you feel so good.”

“Yes…” He panted as he pulled and pushed up into her again. “I need you…”

She moaned out at the feel of him. “Oh Doxy…”

“Silver…” He said as he thrust up into her hard and deep digging his claws into her hips. “I’m going to fill you. So hot… oh… yes.”

She gasped loudly as she shuddered on top of him her body orgasmed hotly around him again.

“Oh Yes!” He growled as he pushed in deeply as he let his orgasm flow into her for the second time in a few minutes. “Your heat drives me crazy.” He huffed out softly as he pulled her against his chest.

She panted on his chest having spent her energy on the act of lovemaking. He slowly pet down her back and kissed Silver lovingly upon her face. “Doxy…” She whispered between breaths. “I love you.”

“I love you.” He whispered as he pushed a strand of her mane from her eyes. “If I knew how much you loved me all those many years ago, maybe I would have introduced myself sooner to you. Maybe, you could have kept me from being verbally abused by some pony.”

“Things happen for a reason Doxy.” She whispered to him. She couldn’t help notice though, he kept himself buried deep in her.

“I know.” He answered as he placed his paw on her chin, lifted it and gave her a deep kiss.

Silver seemed to melt into the kiss. He held her tightly against him as they continued to kiss deep. Their tongues intertwining and slowly rubbing together. The kiss made her wetter as she felt him push and pull back again. He was growing hard again inside of her. He moved his paws to her rump and held her tightly against himself as he started to make love to her as they kissed.

He moved in her, she was so tight. He thought about how much he loved her. It made him just so very horny. The mother of his twin girls, the keeper of his heart she made him purr, growl and roar. He pushed his tongue against hers and she rubbed it back with her own tongue.

She was lost in his kiss, it felt so good. He was holding her, loving her, it was as if they were the only two beings in existence at that moment. She shook as she came and she felt his heart beating in time with hers.

Paradox felt her heat spread around him and he started to give her short quick thrusts. His tongue slowly moved away from hers as he broke their kiss. “My love.” He moaned out as he pushed into her hard and released his seed into her again.

“Oh Doxy.” She whispered as she snuggled up against his chest panting.

Holding her to him, he slowly pulled from her heat. He was spent for the time being and he saw from the satisfied look on Silver’s face that she was spent too. He kissed her face gently. “You’re beautiful.”

“I am so lucky.” She whispered. “I’ve got the sexiest husband ever. All to myself.”

He started to chuckle. “You are beautiful, sexy and a flatterer. I love you.”

“I love you too.” She whispered as she placed her head against his chest. They drifted off to sleep for the rest of the afternoon.

The playground was fairly crowded and Zero was sitting on the bench watching as his daughter Rune Eclipse played in a sandbox. He watched as she blinked her golden eyes at another filly walking by her; she didn’t smile or make a sound she just watched the filly walk by. Zero suddenly blinked when he saw Paradox step up beside him. “Hello Dox. What brings you here? Don’t you have acting to do?”

Paradox walked over and sat next to his brother in law. “What is new Zero?”

Zero looked down at the ground after glancing at his daughter to be sure she was safe. “Nothing is new, except that Discord has started to teach Rune magic.”sadzero

“What?” Paradox gasped. “Why are you letting him do that?”

Zero shook his head as he shrugged. “I cannot teach her magic. Lilly isn’t here to… teach her either.” He swallowed. “I must have… made her leave… I did something wrong. I ran her away.” He suddenly looked up at his brother-in-law. “You know where she is! I think you should tell me. I need her back Dox.”

Paradox stood up. “I don’t… Zero, I don’t know where Lilly is, I think dad knows but he won’t talk to me. Every time I even try to ask about her… I feel so angry at him.” He looked over at the sand box and saw Rune pick up a bucket of sand and pour it in a small tin plate. The plate tin started to glow red as it hovered and poured back into the bucket. She suddenly looked over at them, she smiled and stood up quickly as she suddenly beat her wings and flew over to them.

“Uncle Doxy!” Rune squealed as she flew over and landed clumsily in her uncle’s arms. “Doxy. Dox! Doxy!”

“Rune.” Paradox said as he hugged his niece. “You’re flying better.”littlerune

“Tank you. Da helps me. Grandspa is teaching me magics! He’s teachin’ Snafie too.” She talked quickly as her little wings flapped. “Will you teach me how to paints one day?”

“I will, after I teach Solana and Selene. You’ve gotten big, reminds me of your mom a lot. Beautiful, smart, that thick black and dark blue mane.” He pet down her mane softly and then put her down on the bench next to Zero. He got on his knees and looked at Zero and Rune. “I’ll do what I can to find out what happened to Lilly.”

Rune tilted her head slightly. “I will find out Uncle Doxy. Da and I miss mama. She was beautiful and had stars in her mane.”

Zero looked at Rune. “Rune Bug? You remember her?”

“Yes Da. Mama is beautiful. At night… Princess Luna tells me about her as I sleep.” Rune leaned against Zero. “She says I have ta remembers my Mama, because I can bring her backs one day… maybe.”

Paradox pet her mane. “It’s good to dream little one. Thanks for being on my side.”

“I love you Uncle Doxy.” Rune beamed as she flapped her wings again. “When can I play with Selene and Solana? I think we’d have fun playing. I wanna show them how I make stars shine in the sand.”

“You make stars shine in sand?” Paradox asked.

She nodded. “Yes, watch.” She frowned as the slightly crooked horn on her forehead started to glow red. The bucket of sand floated from the sand box and floated over to them, Rune put her hooves up and held the bucket and looked in it. “See.” Her horn glowed again and the sand turned black and little lights started to emerge from the sand. Both Paradox and Zero gasped at the sight. The lights twinkled and shone briefly then faded as quickly as they appeared. Rune suddenly yawned. “Sorry… that make me sleepy.” She wrinkled her nose and yawned again. “Da… I need to go home.”

Zero nodded as he picked her up and started to flap his wings. “Ok Rune, you need your nap.” He looked at Paradox. “Take care Dox, if I learn anything new… I’ll let you know. Rune likes to make up stories about Lilly, sometimes I wish they were true stories.”

Paradox stood up. “I wouldn’t make light of her dreams Zero… You know as well as I do that dreams can change instantly.” He looked at Rune. “Take care Rune. I love you always.”

“I love you Uncle Doxy and Auntie Silvie too.” Rune said as she yawned and nuzzled against Zero’s chest.

Silver, Paradox and the twins were sitting at the restaurant waiting. They smiled when Fluttershy walked in with Rainbow Dash.

“Oh my goodness.” Fluttershy gasped when she saw the girls in their dresses.

“Kind of girly aren’t they?” Rainbow Dash asked with an adoring smile in her face. “Who am I kidding? They look so adorable.”

Both grandmothers fawned over the twins. Paradox and Silver smiled at one another. “So, how’s everything going?” Paradox asked.

Fluttershy looked up. “Everything is fine.” She had Solana in her arms as she flew over and sat down next to him.

“Yeah. We fought off a monster the other day.” Rainbow Dash replied as she carried Selene over.

“You did mostly.” Fluttershy whispered. “Maybe we shouldn’t talk about violence around the girls?” Solana was snuggling up against Fluttershy’s chest.

“Fluttershy, you worry too much. These girls will get to experience a lot. Look they even have claws to protect themselves.” Rainbow said as Selene pet her grandmother’s rainbow colored mane with her paw.

Silver looked around. “Where’s Snafu?”

“Discord has him today.” Fluttershy answered. “He thinks Doxy is still mad at him.”

Paradox frowned and looked away. “Yeah… I am, and I think I know why, but I also don’t know.”

Silver bit her bottom lip and let out a sigh. “I thought I knew but it fled from my memory.”

“Whatever it is, can’t be that important.” Rainbow Dash smiled as she gave Selene a kiss. “Isn’t that right? Oh no! I’m gonna kiss your nose.”

Selene squealed and giggled as Rainbow Dash kissed her nose she looked over at Silver. “Mama. Mama!”

“Selene it’s alright let your grandmother hold you.” Silver smiled.

“Can you really trust dad with Snafu? He’s a little immature and Snafu is so young too.” Paradox muttered.

Silver snickered. “Doxy…”

Fluttershy looked at her son in shock. “Dox, your father took you out all the time. Why are you acting like this?”

Paradox frowned. “Okay mom, I’m going to ask you something…”

Fluttershy nodded as she sighed. “Alright, ask.”

“Who is Rune Eclipse?”

Fluttershy smiled. “My granddaughter.”

Paradox nodded. “Who is her father?”

“That is easy. It’s Zero. My son in law.”

He nodded at his mother. “Who is Rune’s mother?”

Fluttershy blinked several times. “I… um I know this. It’s right on the tip of my tongue.” She flapped her wings in frustration. She looked over at Rainbow Dash she just shrugged.

Paradox growled and put his arms up. “That is the reason why I’m mad at dad. He altered our memories. Only Zero knows that his wife is missing. Mom doesn’t even believe she’s real.”

Fluttershy squeaked. “Rune is my foal?” She then shook her head. “No… She’s Scarlet Grace’s.”

“No mom. Remember I’m a twin.”

Fluttershy’s eyes filled up suddenly with tears. “Doxy. You know your twin is dead. Why do you keep insisting she’s alive?”

Paradox blinked and placed his paw on his chest. “I feel it in here. Mom now that we are talking about it. I am remembering a little. She was pushed into something. What was her name mom? What was it? I know it. I need to know if you remember it too.”

“Dox, please. I’m not really in the mood to play these games. I want to spend time with these little jewels.” She whispered as she nuzzled Solana.

Solana gently placed her paws on Fluttershy’s cheeks and looked at the tears that were falling from her grandmother’s eyes. “Grrma. No…” She purred out softly. She looked over at her father. “Daa. No…”

Paradox sighed. “Fine.” He put his paw up to his face and walked away from them for a moment.

Silver felt a bit out of place suddenly as she sat next to her mom. “Hey mom, do you remember?”

Rainbow Dash nodded. “Of course. Paradox’s sister was named LillyRose. You and her were friends long before you and Paradox got along. I vaguely remember a fight where I believe that LillyRose got killed or something and Discord erased Fluttershy’s memory to keep her from becoming an emotional wreck.” She then blinked. “I can hardly remember that fight though. I know that Dox had been angry with his father ever since.”

Silver blinked. “I think someone else erased all of our memories. I can hardly remember it myself.”

“Doxy come back and relax.” Fluttershy called her son back. “Please?”

Paradox walked back, his eyes were red with tears. “She’s still alive mom. I know it… I do.”

Silver smiled. “We’ll figure it out later. Let’s eat and talk about something different.” She started to set up the high chairs. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash placed the foals in the chairs.

Paradox sat down and crossed his arms as he looked away from his mom. “Yeah, we’ll talk about something else.” A tear ran down his cheek as he let in a deep breath.

It was late at night when Paradox got home. He closed the door softly and went up the stairs stumbling slightly on the last step, he opened the door to the bedroom and saw Silver snuggled in bed. A smile came to his face upon seeing her calm sweet face.

He went to the other room and prepared for bed. Silver turned in her sleep, didn’t wake up as he emerged from the other room. He slowly lifted the sheets and blankets and got into bed with his wife. He snapped his fingers and the light faded.

Silver turned and awoke when she felt his body next to her. “Doxy?” She asked sleepily.

“Hmmm…” He said as he put his arm around her. “Sorry I woke you up.”

Silver snuggled up against him. “I’m not. I missed you.”

He nuzzled her soft mane with his muzzle. “I missed you too.” He breathed in the smell of her. The fine shampoo she used, the smell of her armor that she wears, and the smell of their twins, all in her hair. He moved his paw down her side.

“How’d the rehearsal go tonight?” She whispered.

He kept nuzzling her mane as he ran his paw over her stomach. “I don’t like a couple scenes in the story. So, I was almost fired.”lovingcolorrs

Silver gasped and suddenly sat up to look at him. “What? Why?”

Paradox looked at her silhouette but knew the look of worry she had on her face. “I refused to kiss the mare I was working with. It’s in the script and I don’t want to kiss her.”

She looked at him in the dark. “Oh Doxy. You’re so sweet… I know you’re an actor and you have to do what you need to do, it’s called acting for a reason.”

“I don’t know… I need your permission to do what the script says. I have to kiss her and get into a bed with her.”

Silver giggled. “I trust you Doxy. You’re a great actor, be one. Now if the actress makes a move on you. I’ll deal with her myself.”

He started to laugh as he looked up at her silhouette. “I’ll keep that in mind. I still don’t think I want to kiss her, but I’ll do what I need to do.” He reached over and pulled her to him. “Now for something I can really get into.” He started to kiss her softly and ran his paws down her back.

Silver giggled then relaxed as he held her to him, their tongues rubbing against each other as they kissed deeply. He ran his paws down her back between her wings down to her rump. Slowly he pulled her onto his lap and she gasped breaking the kiss as he pushed up into her. “Oh… Doxy.” She breathed out and shuddered in pleasure.

“Yes… my love.” He growled softly to her.

“Doxy… Please.” She moaned softly.

“You feel wonderful. “ He replied as he held her rump tightly. “Uh… gods… Silver. You are so tight.”

She gasped again as he slowly made love to her. She shuddered and let out a soft moan of desire as he slowly moved her until she was lying on her back and he was over her. He continued to thrust into her as he looked down on her. “Ah… Doxy.” She moaned.

“You are so beautiful Silver. I love you so much.” He sighed as he pushed deeply into her. “Ah… oh yes…”

Silver shuddered under him as she hit orgasm. “Oh!”tenderlove
He felt her tighten around him and he paused to feel her. “That is my girl.” He smiled as he pushed into her and released his own desires deeply into her. “I love everything about you. Mmm… yes…”

She panted as she gave him a kiss, he kissed her in return and he kept buried within her as they moved in bed hugging each other tightly. “I love you.” She whispered breathlessly to him. Silver and Paradox slept all night in one another arms, snuggled up and satisfied.

Silver looked at the girls. They were snuggled in their beds sleeping soundly. She let out a sigh as she left the room slowly. “Goodnight my sweet babies.”

She walked to the bedroom and yawned, Paradox was gone for the day, and he had rehearsals. He got the role in the play he auditioned for. Silver gave another yawn as she got into bed and snuggled up into the warm covers. Usually Paradox got home late and she just went to bed as she waited for him. Tonight though she felt exhausted she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Paradox looked at his line. “I don’t want to kiss her. Should we just have a friendly hug?” He asked the director. The actress pony that was his leading lady was blushing and gave a shocked look at his request.

The director looked at him. “You have to kiss her. It’s part of the script. She’s supposed to be your wife. You love her.”director

Paradox looked at the actress then back to the director. “But she’s not my wife.”

The director put his hoof on his face. “I know that, you have to pretend that she is.” He muttered under his breath. “Geez actors.”

“No offense to you.” Paradox said to the actress. “You’re not my wife. I can’t kiss you.”actress

The actress blushed at him. “Can’t you just close your eyes and imagine I’m her?”

He made a face. “Yeah, I guess, but I know you’re not her.”

“Alright! I’ll take the kissing out of the script!” The director grumbled. “Can we please get to the next scene?”

Paradox turn the page of the script and read it, his eyes widened. “I have a problem with this next scene…”

The director looked at him. “What?”

He looked at the director. “Do I really have to do this with her?”

The director stood up while staring at Paradox. “No. Of course not…” He threw his copy of the script in the air. “Let’s take a break!” He growled as he walked up onto the stage. “Paradox. I need to speak with you.”

Paradox stood and waited as the pony actress walked away. “Yes?” He asked the director.

“What is going on? I thought you wanted this part?” The director asked. “I can’t rewrite this script because you can’t kiss a girl or get into a bed with her… I’m not asking you to do anything with her.”

“I know but… she’s not my wife.” He said softly. “It’s hard to explain…”

The director sighed. “Paradox, if you can’t do it, I’ll get some pony else who can.”

He stood and looked at the director as he let out a sigh. “You’re firing me?”

“No. It’s not a firing. Maybe you can be the understudy?”

Paradox growled low. “I can do it. I just want to talk with my wife first. I just feel so disloyal to her if I kiss another pony.”

The director grumbled and gave a slight smirk. “Yeah. I’ll give you one more chance. We’ll work on your death scene next. Take a break.” He turned and walked off the stage.theplay

Paradox looked at the script in his paw and sighed as he walked off the stage as well.

“These two are so precious.” Rarity cooed. “I have two little dresses from my filly line. Wait here.” She trotted into the other room.

Silver and Paradox waited for Rarity. They stopped by early just as Rarity opened her shop. She was happy they came by as she always was. Paradox was grinning because he remembered when he was little he was a terror making Rarity fret over his behavior.

Rarity came out holding four dresses up with her magic. “These four are just divine.”

Silver’s looked at them wide eyed. “Oh Rarity… these are beautiful. They’d look like princesses if they wore these.”

Selene and Solana were both looking at their mother and Rarity then at the dresses hovering above them.

Paradox was getting bored as his wife and Rarity started talking about princesses and royalty and putting the dresses up against the girls. He smirked suddenly when he saw something behind a curtain he walked casually to the curtain.

“This one stands up to little fillies that may tug and pull on the fabric.” Rarity explained about the light pink dress. She noticed Paradox out of the corner of her eye wandering around the boutique.

“That would be lovely. Rarity perhaps we can get two the same? I think they’d look adorable dressed the same.” Silver asked as she reached in the carrier and picked Solana up.

“Sure darling, but never deny these sweeties their individuality.” Rarity smiled when she saw that Selene wanted out as well. “May I?” She asked.

“Of course.” Silver nodded as she watched Rarity pick Selene up.

“Oh she’s heavier than I thought. I always wanted to have a filly, but I was always so busy.” She hugged Selene. “You and your sister are so adorable.”

Paradox opened the curtain and grinned evilly. “I knew it…” He disappeared behind the curtain.

Silver suddenly looked around. “Wait. Where’s Doxy?”

Rarity looked around as well. “No worries darling, he probably discovered Spike’s horde room.”

“Horde room?” Silver asked.

Rarity nodded. “Oh yes, please come with me. I’ll show you.” They placed Selene and Solana in the carrier.

Rarity led Silver to the curtain and opened it. There was a hallway that slanted downward and a light was coming from a room down below. Silver heard Paradox laughing and also heard Spike talking. She looked at Rarity. “Spike had been here all this time?”

“Of course he’s here. He likes to relax in his horde room while I run my shop. A husband needs time to himself every so often.” She let the curtain go as she turned to Silver. “Would you like those dresses or something else?”

Paradox sat in the large chair. “So Spike… how many horde stashes to you have?” He asked as he picked up a gem and looked at it.

“Counting this one? Five.” Spike answered as he organized the gems by color. “Rarity let’s me keep this horde because she brings me new gems and it’s easier for her to just drop them off in here. The other four I have in Twilight’s castle.”

Paradox nodded. “So, why didn’t you and Rarity have a family?”

Spike’s wings drooped. “Not for lack of trying, she and I aren’t compatible in that aspect. I offered to just well, let her find a stallion instead of staying with me and she insists that we are meant to be and I love her.”

“That’s tough.” Paradox muttered. “Did you want to be a father?”

Spike blinked. “Well, actually. I’d rather not be. I’d hate to see my collection of comics get ruined. I hear babies get into everything.”

Paradox started to laugh. “Spoken like a true dragon.” He got up from the chair. “I hope Silver is now done, I’m going to see. Bye Spike. Talk to you later.”

“Bye. Tell Rarity I’ll be up in a few.”

“Alright.”

Silver smiled when she saw Paradox emerge from behind the curtain. “Where have you been?”

“Oh, just talking with Spike.” He grinned as he walked over to the carrier and Silver, he saw that Selene and Solana were in a dress similar to one another. He took in a deep breath and suddenly clutched his chest and stumbled back. “Oh no! Ah!”

Rarity and Silver blinked. “What?” They asked in a panic.

Paradox smiled. “They stole my heart again. These two girls making their father lose his heart every time he sees them.” He swallowed hard as he looked at them again. Selene and Solana looked at him and smiled sweetly as they behaved one another. They were in an exact same dress and looked like little angels. “Hello my princesses. You two look gorgeous.” He said as he reached in and pet each of their heads. “Daddy loves you.”

“What do you think?” Silver asked and suddenly tilted her head at him. “Doxy, are you crying?”

He stood up straight. “No. I’m fine just these two…” He rubbed his eyes. “How much do we owe you Rarity?”

She was smiling. “Your reaction is a great payment, but if you insist on paying. Six bits for each dress. Silver chose four dresses. ”

“We definitely insist on paying. Here.” Paradox placed a bag of bits on the table he didn’t count them out. “This should be enough and then some.”

Rarity gasped as she looked in the bag. “This is too…”

He put his paw up. “I don’t want to hear it. Take that please.”

“You better take it. No use arguing with him. Stubborn as his father.” Silver smiled as they left. “Thank you Rarity.”

“Thank you darlings.” Rarity said in shock as she looked at the hundred bits that Paradox and Silver paid her.

“The most generous pony deserves to be paid more than she asks for…” Paradox said to Silver as they walked down the street.

Silver nodded in agreement as she looked at the twins. “Oh. Doxy. They look so adorable.”

Paradox looked at them. “Oh. Yes. I agree. Silver, how am I going to keep the colts and stallions away from my babies when they’re older?”

Silver started to laugh. “You’re already worried about them as they get older? They’ll be fine Doxy. Remember you can be quite intimidating if you want to be.”

Story: Life with Paradox – Chapter 37

37.

Paradox looked out the window and gave a deep sigh. Silver looked up from where she was teaching the girls how read basic words. “What is wrong Doxy?”

He glanced at her. “I think I’m going to have to try out for the new Broadneigh play, ‘The Postpony Always Rings Twice’.”

She blinked. “Are you sure? What is the story about?”

“The plot is about a pony falling in love with another, but she’s already married and kills off her husband and make it look like an accident. I’m going to try out for the role of the husband. I’ve practiced many death scenarios.”

“Oh? You don’t want to be the one that kills the husband?” She held up a card that said bird on it to Solana.

Solana blinked. “bir!”

He smiled at Solana as he answered Silver. “I’m not into the roles where I have to be the bad guy.” He grinned as he went and sat next to Silver to grab another card to hold up for Selene.

“Oh, you don’t want your father’s reputation?” Silver asked. He held up a card but didn’t see what it was. “Dad can be an evil tyrant if he wanted to be. He’s got it in him. I don’t believe I can do that. After that incident; I really don’t want to talk about dad…”eviltyrant1“Dra-gon!” Selene squeaked.

“Unca Spike!” Solana squeaked as she started to giggle.

Both Silver and Paradox looked at the girls and then looked at the card Paradox was holding. It was a picture of Spike. “How’d that get in there?” Silver asked.

He shook his head. “I have no idea. That reminds me. I have to ask Rarity to design some dresses for the girls. Mom wants to have lunch with us soon and I want the girls to look good.”

“We’ll go tomorrow morning. I have to go to the market.” Silver held another card up of a cat.

“Mew!” Selene said.

“Mew!” Solana giggled. Then they both started meowing and making cat noises. Solana pounced on Selene as they purred and mewed at one another.mewmewcolored
“Now they’re totally distracted.” Silver sighed as she put the cards up. “I think they believe you’re an excuse to start playing.”

He chuckled. “No, they just get bored.” He put his arm around Silver and hugged her. “I love you.”

She smiled at him. “Oh, I love you too Doxy.”
