Meet the twins Crimson Delight and Autumn Glory.

And their father is...unknown!

Y'see, Applejack tried dating, but it didn't work out and she felt she was forcing herself, because all in all, she was actually happy with who she was - a busy farm owner - and even though she wanted children, she didn't want to end up in a relationship "just because".

So eventually she went to Canterlot and got an artificial insemination from a sperm bank. (A bold move for what's considered one of the most traditional ponies in Ponyville!) She doesn't know who the father is cause she only asked for very broad criteria when choosing her donor: big, strong and healthy.

As you can see, she got more than just that, her children might as well be models. In fact I'm thinking that's what they'll become later in life. Perhaps it's something in their genes, perhaps they get discovered by Trenderhoof, but something draws them to Canterlot, where their stunning good looks quickly get them into the model business. Momma Applejack of course follows them around, making sure they don't get into any shady business. What a fussy pony... but she's got her heart in the right place and her children's best interests at heart and they know it.

Still, I see them conflicting with her quite a bit, especially when younger, cause even if they're growing up in happy surroundings, they dream of the big city and look up to Rarity's success and sophistication. They like hanging around her and learning her methods...and manner of speech. Poor Aj's not gonna be able to understand her own kids! Kidding, but she might be a bit distraught at that. I imagine the twins themselves fall back into a country drawl when upset.

Anyway...all in all they're still a happy family. A bit rougher than what Applejack imagined, but that's how it goes. Mister or Misses Right can wait.



--------

There wasn't anyone I really wanted to ship with Applejack, so I went a different route that I could see Applejack taking. This is for my "main continuity", i.e. Lavender's.



Btw, I've opened a point donation pool for an upgraded membership so I can add a proper next gen subfolder to my gallery.
