Hey everypony!

So, ever since I written my first MLP short story on Starlight x Sunburst, I have been thinking of many different ideas about the ship, as well as for Starburst, their unicorn filly. So I thought why not write them down and create a series of one shots about it!

Now this first one is going to be about the birth of Starburst, naturally it would be a great starting point and would also make for a very cute moment!

A Miracle is Born

It was a normal day in the Crystal Empire, everything was peaceful as in one particular house, lived a happy unicorn couple by the Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. Sunburst was currently in his study, wizarding as he always does, learning new spells and such as he wrote down everything he observed. It was so quiet in the house as Sunburst took down his notes, smiling as he used his magic to write down everything.

He took a quick break as he put down his quill and with his magic, picked up his teacup that was next to him, to enjoy a quick sip. He was just about to take his sip when he heard a loud cry that caused him to immediately drop his cup and spill the liquid on the floor in front of him. However, not paying attention to that, he ran to the source of the cry. When he arrived, he was scared.

"Starlight, what's wrong!?" Sunburst said, clearly worried.

"Sunburst…" Starlight struggled to say. "I think it's time…"

Starlight was pregnant and clearly it was time for the foal to come out and Sunburst knew that as well.

"Okay honey, just calm down and lets get to the hospital." Sunburst said, helping Starlight to get up.

"I am calm!" Starlight shouted through the pain. "Lets just go!"

And together, the couple went out of the house, Sunburst not even bothering to stop to lock the front door as the couple went as fast as they could to the hospital. As Sunburst helped Starlight, it was quite difficult, for each step Starlight took resulted in even more pain as she felt she couldn't go on.

"Sunburst, I don't think I can make it…" Starlight shedding a tear.

"No, we are, just a little further honey." Sunburst urged on his wife.

Eventually, after much struggle, they finally got to the Crystal Empire hospital, Sunburst opening the doors with his magic as the hospital staff looked to the doors to see the two. Sunburst saw their doctor and called to him.

"Doctor Colt, it's time!" Sunburst said loudly.

"Oh boy, okay lets get Starlight to the delivery room!" Doctor Colt shouted to some nurses.

And the nurses got Starlight on the stretcher and she was rolled quickly to the delivery room.

"Sunburst…" Starlight called out weakly.

"Don't worry honey, I'm right here." Sunburst said as he was right besides her.

Expect, when they got to the delivery room, Sunburst needed to stay outside…

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sunburst, you need to stay out here." Doctor Colt said to the stallion.

"But, I can't do this without him." Starlight said, wanting Sunburst to be there.

"Don't worry honey, I'll be right outside, I'm not going anywhere." Sunburst smiled and held onto Starlight's hoof with his'.

"Okay, lets go, we have to do this quickly." Doctor Colt shouted to the nurses.

And they quickly rolled Starlight into the delivery room, the unicorn couple breaking their grip as the doors closed and Sunburst was alone for the time being, just outside the delivery room, hoping that everything was alright. However Sunburst wasn't alone pretty soon, because Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and their young alicorn filly, Flurry Heart came, hearing the news about the baby coming.

"Sunburst." Shining Armor called to Sunburst, who had his head lowered down.

"Your majesties." Sunburst replied and bowed down.

"No need for that Sunburst, you're going to be a father pretty soon." Cadance smiled. "You must be very happy."

"Yes, I am…" Sunburst replied, not so happily.

"What's wrong?" Flurry Heart asked.

"It's just I'm happy that Starlight and I will be parents, but I'm also sad that I had to put Starlight through this, it pains me to see her like this." Sunburst sadly answered.

"You know, Shining Armor had the same feeling when we had Flurry, but we were happy in the end and so will you and Starlight." Cadance reassured Sunburst.

"Thank you princess." Sunburst smiled a little.

"Also, I sent word to Princess Twilight and her friends, they'll be here in a day's time." Cadance added, knowing that Twilight would love to see Starlight's new foal.

And so, they then sat in silence as they heard Starlight push her foal out of her, which only made Sunburst worry more and more as he just had to wait. After what seemed like many hours, Doctor Colt finally came out of the delivery room, Sunburst right away going to his doctor.

"Doctor, is my wife okay, how did it go?" Sunburst asked quickly.

"I think it's better if you all see for yourself." Doctor Colt replied and held the door open for the royal family and Sunburst.

And Sunburst walked into the room to see that a little miracle has been born. Laying down on the bed, was Starlight, all tired and exhausted and in her front hooves was something wrapped up in a blanket. That something was a little, light pinkish unicorn filly, her tiny eyes closed, looking ever so peaceful. Sunburst trotted up besides Starlight, his muzzle open and his eyes wide open.

"Sunburst, it's a girl." Starlight said, very tiredly.

"Yes, it is." Sunburst said. "And she looks just like her mother."

"Listen, I'm sorry I yelled at you." Starlight apologized for before.

"It's okay honey, I understand, I'm sorry that I put you through this." Sunburst apologized in return.

"It's okay, what matters now is that we're finally a family." Starlight smiled.

"So, have you two decided on a name?" Cadance asked, wondering what the two will name their newborn daughter.

"Oh, can I pick her name!?" The young Flurry asked, excitedly.

"We have already discussed what the name will be." Sunburst answered the young alicorn's excitement.

"Yes, we have, she's Starburst." Starlight said. "We were going to name the baby Sunlight if it was a boy."

"So, can I hold her?" Sunburst asked his wife, wanting so much to hold his little daughter

"Why must you ask?" Starlight smiled and held out her daughter the best she could for Sunburst to take.

Sunburst carefully took the little wrapped up filly and smiled down at her, Starburst opening her eyes to see Sunburst looking down at her.

"Hello there little daughter, I'm your daddy." Sunburst softly spoke.

Starburst then giggled and reached out her front hooves to touch Sunburst's muzzle, it really reminded Sunburst of when Flurry did that to him just before her crystalling. And it made him shed a tear of joy. After holding his daughter for a little bit, he gave her back to Starlight, who took her daughter in her hooves again.

"Okay, all of you get together for some pictures." Shining Armor said happily as he held the castle he brought with him.

The unicorn couple, together with their little filly then came closer and Shining Armor took some pictures to capture the beautiful moment forever. After the royal family got to take a closer look at the newborn, they left to give the couple some privacy. And in a day's time, Twilight and her Ponyville friends came, all of them of course happy for Starlight and Sunburst, Twilight the most as she just couldn't believe how far her student's life came.

In a few days' time, Starlight was finally strong enough to be released from the hospital and the couple could finally go home and start their family. And when nighttime came, they all went to sleep. Starlight and Sunburst first putting the sleepy Starburst in her crib.

"I can't believe we're finally a family." Starlight said as she rocked Starburst's crib gently.

"I know, I can't believe it either, but we're going to be a good family, I just know it." Sunburst replied confidently.

"Thanks Sunburst." Starlight chuckled softly before dripping her head and giving her little daughter a goodnight kiss. "And goodnight my little miracle."

And then the couple left to go to their own bedroom, the two of them getting in and comfortable as they settled down to sleep.

"Goodnight honey, I love you." Sunburst said, giving a kiss on Starlight's muzzle.

"And I love you too Sunburst." Starlight replied.

And so, with that, the first night of many began for the family, as they slept peacefully.

So, what does everypony think?

And if you have any ideas for this, please feel free to share it!
