Applejack despite being tired from a days work and 6 months pregnant climbed up to the top of the tallest hill in sweet apple acres, she had worked most of the day as hard as her body would let her with her current occupant. She was however in a very reflective mood. With the sun setting over the farm stretched out beneath her as far as she could see, she sat there resting upon the now great big tree that was planted at the top of that hill the day her parents were buried there, it was planted to remember them and it had grown like no other tree on the farm. Making the most of her time alone and the connection she felt to her departed folks through their tree she started talking to them as if they were there “Hey Mah, Pah, i dunno if you can see me from wherever you are know so i’ll tell ya straight, the foal i’m having is doing great i can feel the little critter in there wrigglin’ about all the time, we’ve definitively got another energetic apple on our hands. I’ve missed you guys every day since you’ve gone, but i’ve done right by the family as best i could for the whole family here, and as we’re alone I thought i’d let ya in on a secret. If its a girl i’m naming her after you mah, and same goes for you Pah if its a boy”. Applejack started tearing up, not quite crying but not far off either, she visited the tree a lot to get her worries off her chest and sometimes just to remember her parents, but today felt especially sad for the reasons she uttered through a choked up throat “i Just wish you were both still here so you could see the young one, help me raise ‘em right… Knowing you’ll never see the grandkids just breaks my heart.” She lent forwards and cradled her belly gaining strength from the warmth the foal in her belly gave off. After that she stared in silence over her families farm for a while, the sunset looked especially beautiful that night, she didn’t feel the need to say much she instead focused on the good times she could remember, she knew where ever they were and whenever she’d see them again they’d be proud of her.
