1.
-Anon-
-
2.
>You are lying in bed trying to sleep.
-
3.
>As comfortable as your bed is, you are finding it hard to fall and stay asleep.
-
4.
>When you were younger you could fall asleep anytime or anyplace.
-
5.
>Your mother liked to remind you of when you drifted off next to her and slept through an entire Summer Sun Celebration.
-
6.
>Once you were asleep back then, you were out.
-
7.
>Not even the Royal Canterlot voice could wake you at that point.
-
8.
>Now however, you were woken by the smallest noise.
-
9.
>Maybe it’s because you grew up.
-
10.
>Or maybe it was because of all those years you spent on earth that your mother said “Stole your innocence.”
-
11.
>You are finally about to drift off when you hear something enter your room.
-
12.
>You roll over in bed to face the door and sit up.
-
13.
>The intruder freezes, realizing they were caught.
-
14.
>You recognize that form.
-
15.
“Mom…”
-
16.
>You say groggily.
-
17.
“It’s the middle of the night. Is everything alright?”
-
18.
>”Of course it is. I just couldn’t sleep, so I decided to come and see if you were alright or needed anything.”
-
19.
>She says.
-
20.
>You can’t help but smile at that.
-
21.
>She has come in every night to check on you since your return.
-
22.
>Probably to make sure you don’t disappear again.
-
23.
“I’m fine mom, don’t worry about me. I’m more worried about you.”
-
24.
>She starts walking closer to the bed.
-
25.
>”Me? Why in Equestria would you be worried about me my little ray of sunshine?”
-
26.
“Well, a couple reasons actually. Number one, you’re my mom and I’m allowed to worry about you. Two, because you need to be up in a few hours and raise the sun. Three, you’ve been coming in here every night since I’ve been back to check on me, I’m just afraid you aren’t getting enough sleep.”
-
27.
>You tell her as you count off each reason with one of your fingers.
-
28.
>She has an odd look on her face.
-
29.
>She must think it’s odd for you to worry about her.
-
30.
>”It’s sweet that you’re worried about me my little prince. However, a little lack of sleep will not affect me that much.”
-
31.
>She says trying to silence your worries.
-
32.
>It might have worked too, if she hadn’t started to yawn at that exact moment.
-
33.
>You couldn’t hold back the laugh that escapes your lips if you tried.
-
34.
>This earns a pout from her.
-
35.
“I’m sorry, but if that doesn’t prove my point I don’t know what will.”
-
36.
>”You don’t have to worry about me Anon. I’m going to go right back to bed once I leave here.”
-
37.
>She says again trying to reassure you.
-
38.
>You actually believed her, at least the first few times you heard it anyway.
-
39.
>She would come back again like she always did and then neither one of you would get any sleep.
-
40.
>You had to find a way for both of you to get some shut eye.
-
41.
>Time for some strategy.
-
42.
>She has already turned and is starting to leave.
-
43.
“You know mom, there might be something you can do for me.”
-
44.
>”Yes?”
-
45.
>She says a little overly enthusiastic.
-
46.
“Well…”
-
47.
>You rub the back of your neck with your hand, you didn’t think it would really be this embarrassing to say.
-
48.
“I’ve been having these nightmares for a while. And, so I was just wondering if you could maybe stay with me tonight.”
-
49.
>Her eyes seem to light up.
-
50.
“I mean, the bed is big enough if you want to lay down and even sleep next to me. I know I’m probably too old-“
-
51.
>You are cut off by her nearly jumping onto your bed.
-
52.
>”Oh nonsense sweetheart. If you’re old enough to have nightmares, then you’re still old enough for your mother to take care of you.”
-
53.
>You are more than a little embarrassed at this point as she even uses her magic to tuck you in.
-
54.
>But a little embarrassment will be well worth it if you both can get a little sleep.
-
55.
>”And don’t worry, I’ll speak to your Aunt Luna in the morning about your nightmare.”
-
56.
>She says as she gets under the covers as well.
-
57.
>A wave of nostalgia comes over you as you remember this is exactly what she did when you really did have a nightmare.
-
58.
>You are about to tell her not to bother Aunt Luna when you hear soft snoring coming from her.
-
59.
>She probably fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
-
60.
>She must have been exhausted.
-
61.
>You’re glad your little ruse worked.
-
62.
>You close your eyes and try to ready yourself for sleep to take you as well.
-
63.
>Suddenly your body is enveloped in a yellow aura and you are pulled tight against her chest.
-
64.
>Fuck.
-
65.
>You forgot that your mother sometimes did magic in her sleep.
-
66.
>She hugs you and seems to be blissfully unaware that she is doing any of this.
-
67.
>You start to struggle to get free from her grasp.
-
68.
>”It’s okay… Mommy’s here…”
-
69.
>She said almost slurring her words, clearly still asleep.
-
70.
>You stop trying to struggle and just accept it.
-
71.
>Her scent fills your nostrils.
-
72.
>You almost completely forgot it after so long away.
-
73.
>It is the same as when you were younger and slept like this.
-
74.
>You would have given anything to be like this when you were back on earth.
-
75.
>You fall asleep faster than you have in years.
-
76.
>Enjoying a deep relaxing uninterrupted slumber.
-
77.
>Today was a good day.
