A pair of white silk curtains fluttered gently as a soothing breeze drifted through the tall windows of the palace. Queen Stella stood over the crib of her newborn baby, singing softly to her.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey. You'll never know dear how much I love you, so don't take my sunshine away." The baby cooed sweetly as her mother sang to her, watching the light dance around her mother's halo of hair that moved like liquid in the breeze. The door opened quietly, and in walked her father, King Cosmos.
"Stella, my dear, you really should rest," he whispered, "you've been through so much. I'll look after the baby for a few hours."
"I don't want to leave her side," she grinned, even though her eyes were showing signs of exhaustion, "she's so beautiful! Oh Cosmos, she's everything we've ever dreamed of! Plus, we still need to name her."
"There will be time for that, my dear. Equestria still does not know of her arrival, and are in no hurry for her name. We will decide when the time is right." Suddenly, the sun began to shine a little brighter through the windows, and a huge sunbeam cast itself through one of the faceted panes of the stained glass. This created a large circle of light around the baby, making her look as though she was glowing with the sun.
"Look, Cosmos!" gasped Stella, "Doesn't she look magical? Almost celestial!" The two alicorns turned to each other. They both knew they had a name for their daughter. King Cosmos leaned into the crib and kissed his child on her forehead.
"Celestia," he beamed proudly.
"Celestia," agreed his queen.
"Go on. I will take my turn to watch over her. Get some rest." The Queen smiled sweetly as she tiptoed out of the room. "Daddy's little princess, Celestia."
