Twighlight held her little bundle of joy with great care. She moved slowly over to a crib and laid her tiny foal inside. Twighlight smiled as she walked over to her husband Flash Centry and laid down in her hospital bed.
"What should we call her?" asked Flash looking down at his daughter in her crib. He smiled kissing her tenderly on the forehead. The filly giggled in delight making her father smile. The unnamed filly was yellow, had a mane which was purple and had a few pink highlights, her eyes were purple (when you looked closely you could see a tiny lightening bolt in her left pupil) and - her oddest feature- she was an alicorn.
"Ummm... How about Ruby?" asked Twilight.
"Nah Twinkle sounds way better!" said flash ruffling the fillies mane.
"Never! Lightening!" Twighlight angrily said frowning at her beloved.
"Lightening is that supposed to be a reference to good flyer. With our luck she will be as flightless as you!" Flash growled. Twighlight gasped in horror as she went to leave the room when she bumped into the library cart and an interesting book fell off. Flash ran to help his wife and then sorted out the mess. He picked up the book and smiled.
"Can I borrow this please?" he asked the nurse.
"Of course!" The nurse said before hurrying along. Flash Walked his wife back to her bed and shown her the book.
" How about Starlight?" asked Flash showing Twilight the book which said : a star's light. Twighlight nodded in agreement as she picked up Starlight and laid on the bed with Flash. They all snuggled together as a family.
"AHHHHHH!" screamed a pony from down the hall. Twilight and Flash looked at the door as another scream echoed through the hospital. Twilight handed Starlight to Flash and walked up the corridor following the screams. As she had expected they had come from the room opposite she peered inside to see a familiar pony. But not as her usual self but as a stressed angry mare.
"PINKIE?" shouted Twilight walking up to the bed and holding her friend's hoof. The pink mare smiled and laughed. This seemed to give Pinkie courage knowing her true friend was there to help. She pushed one more and the cry of 4 babies filled the room.
