Lunar Flower
Lunar Eclipse was worried. Just through those double doors was the mare of his dreams and there was nothing he could do.
"What's wrong?" a voice just behind him asks.
"They took her to the ER, Twilight," Eclipse responds, "The foal is breach. What if something bad happens? I couldn't live with myself if she died."
"She's going to be fine," Twilight assures him, "There are rarely any complications with this kind of procedure."
"I know, but I can't help but worry," Eclipse sighs, "This is our first foal, and, uh, I can't, I can't help but think about the what if's."
Glancing at the floor he continues, "What if we lose the foal? What if I lose them both? Or what if-"
"What if the world explodes or Discord reawakens?" Twilight replies, placing her hoof on his shoulder, "Eclipse, we can't control the what if's but we can control our own actions and right now what you need to do is calm down. She /will\ be okay, and you're gonna have a healthy filly. All of this is gonna work out, okay?"
"Okay, I'll try," Eclipse barely gets out.
"That's all you can do right now, sit and wait," Twilight says.
Nurse Redheart comes out of the double doors, calling, "I need to see Lunar Eclipse!"
Running up to the white mare, Eclipse says, "That's me. Is Fluttershy okay? What about the foal?"
"She's perfectly okay," Nurse Redheart tells him, "Your foal is as well. Everything went off without a hitch. Congratulations."
Eclipse races down the hallway leading to Fluttershy's room, the rest of their friends following behind him. He couldn't wait to see that his fears truly won't be validated.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaa
Upon getting to the room, Eclipse could barely contain himself, but still unable to be obtrusive, he taps lightly on the door.
"Come in," Fluttershy's voice calls from the room, sounding rather tired.
Pushing the door open seemed to take forever, but when it was open, he was greeted with the best sight his eyes ever did behold- his beautiful wife holding his darling, little filly. He was breathless.
"Oh, Fluttershy, she's beautiful!" he whispers to his love, "What do want to name her?"
Fluttershy blushes, "I can't think of anything. Why not you?"
"Well, I gotta be honest with you, she's as beautiful and mysterious as a lunar flower," Eclipse replies, causing their friends to make an awe sound when they entered the room.
"That's nice," Fluttershy says, nuzzling the top of the foal's head, "Let's name her that."
"Name her what?" Eclipse asks, cocking his head to the side in confusion.
Laughing, Fluttershy whispers, "Lunar Flower."
