Some time after Sweetie had Smokey and got back on her hooves Bloom started getting the urge to date and maybe start a family of her own, ever the indecisive gal she ended up dating a few fillyhood school mates, including a short bit with Diamond Tiara, though the two ended up being too different. Bloom moved pretty quickly through her dates, never happy enough with each pick, until she ran into Tender Taps again.

Tender Taps had continued his dancing and had become an advanced student in the local theatre, he would even go on to help tutor younger students and encourage them like Apple Bloom had done with him. The two hit it off pretty easily and finally Bloom had a partner that lasted longer than two weeks. Their artistic flairs bounced off each other easily and to fun ends, and it didn't take too long for Bloom to come up pregnant with her first child.

Bloom and Taps got married, at the family tree of course, and Bloom had her first child, Jazz Apple, a filly with a talent for songwriting. This would be a pretty happy time for AB, she had her first kid, she enjoyed helping out at the farm, and Taps was doing well with his dancing and making time for them.

Taps' time with Bloom would dwindle more and more though as he actually made dancing his career and started advancing more and more. When AB got pregnant with their second child Taps had to spend a lot of time going between Ponyville and Manehatten, dancing and making bits in one, and trying to spend as much time with Bloom and his kid, soon to be kids, as much as he could. It was wearing him thin.

Their second child would just be a tiny foal when the two made the decision to split up. It was a mutual decision made over a calm cup of tea, it simply wasn't working to have Taps racing back and forth to Ponyville and slowing down what AB knew would be a great career performing on some of the biggest stages in equestria, if he was given the freedom.

Taps still visits Ponyville and his little family there when he can, and his daughters are thrilled to see him every time, letters and care packages now make up for a lot of the lost time between them, but their relationship stays strong. He and Bloom will always have a 'more than just friends' relationship, but they are happy with the paths their lives have taken them, even if the roads where different.

Just a few short years after splitting from Tender Taps Apple Bloom would run into Pipsquak in the market and the two would hit it off, catching up with what they were doing, Pip asking about the kids and if she knows how Taps is doing, all that stuff. AB would get a reinvigoration of her old flirty serial dater self and seek Pip out more and more, until the two were officially an item.

Pip and AB would be married before Bloom got pregnant this time, but she would quickly bear a small son and tiny daughter with him, and she's pretty sure shes done now, and very happy with her family and how they work together.

Orachard Dancers talent is in her name, taking after her dad she loves to get up and bust a move, she almost can't sit still, and will often bop around when doing her chores around the farm.

Little Buck isn't sure of his talent or destiny yet, but he's pretty happy with his family and his new baby sister.

Seedling isn't old enough to think much of anything apart from food and fun. She has a heart shaped spot on her forehead, hidden under her fringe in this pic.
