Apple Bloom's parents died years ago in an accident, when she was only a baby. That's what Applejack and Big Macintosh have always told her, and even though they must have suffered a great deal they still managed to raise her properly and give her all the love her parents couldn't.
But her brother and sister have been hiding a secret, through shame, ever since their parents' deaths, and now the time has finally come to tell Apple Bloom who she really is. But how will the youngest Apple react to what really happened? Can their family bonds survive the truth?

Chapters (23)
Somehow, I get the feeling this will make me cry in the future.
Beat it, Pinkie!
I'll keep an eye on this. Let's see how the story develops.

863381>>848931 To be perfectly honest I'm not guaranteeing a tear-jerker, but I hope to give a good story whatever the emotional state it leaves you all in. I am glad you're enjoying it so far, and the next bit should be written out soon

947141 I may actually have another bit for you a little later tonight. I'd already written a later scene out, so all I really need to do is fit it together with what I'm writing now and it shold be ready
but dinner first 
Serious business, doncha know?
Wait. Did she jusy say-
.......Wow.
948766 Damn straight.
Dun dun dun!
948965 Dun dun dun!
I shall tell you exactly what I said after I read this:
Holy mother fuck what fuck hell?!
It sure beats me why but... Oh nevermind.
FUCK. FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK.
Okay, rant over.
That was a shocking conclusion and I think that idea is perfect.
I didn't mean that rant like I didn't like the idea but I was shocked, I totally never expected that.
I was thinking something along the lines of yeah, AJ's daughter.
But her and Big Mac? That, my friend, takes very amazing imaginative skills.
950683 Thank you, I try my best
In actual fact, I didn't come up with this idea on my own. I've seen a few (okay, quite a few) pieces of brony art and humour suggesting incestual relationships between members of the Apple family (you know, what with them being "redknecks" and all). Whilst I'm not a fan of incest (win, twin, or otherwise) the idea did intrigue me, and this is the result of my musings.
(PS, I don't mind rants, just so long as they have a point to them :) )
951570
No problem.
I think the idea was used well here, though.
(I don't mind them either.)
D'AWWWWWWWWW
I knew it.
I saw that coming a mile away.
Man, how old was AJ when she had AB? 12? 13?
1007342 Coming to that, things shall be explained. Suffice it to say that she was "old enough", by British standards anyway

1025620 *Peers over the edge* You ok down there?
/kills you.
Your cliffhangers will be the end of me.
I do have a few questions, if you don't mind. Is the relationship incest, or just... mare and groom?
1037745 Yay cliffhangers!
Ahem, anyway. No, 'tis not incest. I've made them stepbrother-and-sister here. (I also did actually say that already, but hey
)
Okie-dokie-lokie :) Have a favorite and a thumb by the way!
1037838 Squee!
Loving this story a great deal. I usually don't go in for the "Applebloom is really Applejack's daughter" stories as they are either too quick, to few details or simple 'meh' (for lack of a better word) this one is very well done :)

1038190 Thank you, I'm glad you think so
Man, why is it Apple Bloom that always gets chewed on by Timberwolves? This is the 9th time I've come across that. It's never Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo or any of the others. It's always Apple Bloom.
1039765 Really? Didn't know that
Oh well, guess I know what to add to any story I have the other two in then!
This is...interesting. I'm not sure what else to say. I can't say it seems to believable right now. I mean...Big Mac and AJ? And then why keep it a secret? and just...what?
But I did read it all in one sitting, so that says something to...just...I do wanna see the end.
I haven't decided if I like it or not, but I will fave to track.
1053983 Fair enough. I do have a fair bit of stuff still coming, and that should answer your questions
Oh joy. Another cliffhanger.
1063898 Yeah, sorry.
Seriously though, do you think I'm overdoing the cliffhangers? I have had quite a few...
1063961 You're the author. Don't let me tell you how to write your story. Just do what you want.
What's the back story already? I need to know! You're doing a great job with suspense, I can tell you that much. Looking forward to finding out what's going to happen.
Good job with this one. Great way to think out of the box I must say. Can't wait to find out how this all happened in the coming chapters!
Thank'ee all!
I cannot lie, something told me to read this story.
1120169 Fair enough, thanks for the fave
