It's a BOY?!

According to calendar they estimated on the night of the blue moon that Twilight would be having her baby which translated into about eighteen days. Which was a good thing because Equestria was barely standing after the last few months of this pregnancy.

Right now the Mane Six was busy in the baby's bedroom putting the last few finishing touches on it.

Rarity was using her magic to multi-task by filling up the bureau full of all the beautiful dresses and other cutie outfits and adorable accessories, bringing in 300 boxes of silk diapers and finally her own designer curtains doing this all at once.

Applejack was setting up the last of the furniture including the gorgeous wooden cradle she'd made herself whilst Fluttershy was arranging the toys and other knickknacks and putting fresh flowers all over the place.

Rainbow Dash was trying to make things look cool and awesome and affixing a huge mobile to the ceiling along with decorating it with star stones and other cool things to make the ceiling one very cool show to look up at night and it would make sure the baby did not fear the dark at all.

Pinkie Pie was busy zooming in and out of the baby's room from the kitchen every five seconds to ask about the food and things for the party to celebrate the baby's birth and if the things for the Amicita Somnium Magicae Baptisma or The Friendship Dream Magic Christening as they're calling this ceremony. For it was a union of friendship and dream magic and it was a christening of a new baby so that's what they're calling it.

The words they're using for it came from an ancient human language that Sunset Shimmer told them was like the bases for almost everything called Latin. They'd asked her and the Equestria Girls for names suggestions for the ceremony; so they'd in turn asked a lot of their fellow students at CHS for ideas.

What CHS had came up with using the words for what Twilight and Fledge represented and just that magic was the lifeblood of Equestria and it was a christening and just have the words used in Latin to make it cooler.

The ponies had thought it was cool and couldn't wait to ask more about it when Sunset arrived. She had confirmed she was arriving soon for her duties as a Princess soon, just as soon as she and her parents worked things out. Thankful in the human world she was still on summer vacation for they would not have let her skip school even for her princess duties for any reason. So thank Celestia Equestria time and Human Time flowed differently.

As most of Mane Six were doing finishing up their little things in the baby's room Starlight was finishing up her task of finding a nanny to help with the baby and also a magical tutor for the baby.

She'd been strictly told many times to not let Discord near the baby. So she'd told him repeatedly he wasn't not welcomed at all. He was very persistent however and kept at it; however when she finally told him if he didn't back off he'd have to deal with Twilight herself he finally backed off because at that moment the baby kicked her in the next room incinerating the wall next to them missing them by half an inch.

So right now they're still trying to decide on nannies but everypony had agreed that Princess Luna could be the baby's magic tutor as she was an Alicorn and never had a student of her own to which she agreed to the job.

Though finding a nanny or a few nannies to rotate from was proving a bit more challenging. Finally after interviewing over a 1000 ponies and even a few who weren't ponies at all; they'd settled on three nannies. Matilda the donkey, Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops.

Feeling satisfied with the selections on both nannies and a magical tutor Starlight was currently going over the 2000 page book Twilight had written while on forced bed rest for the baby to the nannies to help them prepare for their duties and also to tell them when not to take it too serious and what was just influence by the wacked out hormones.

Spike, Helena and almost all the mythical creatures of Fledge's court along with all of Ponyville were busy between getting the castle ready from the inside out and setting up for the ceremony.

Fledge was just comforting his wife who was dealing with the end of her pregnancy and just how really uncomfortable she was from all of this and they were also busy awaiting the arrival of Sunset who was due to come sooner than anypony knew.

"Oh, I hope this baby is really worth all the trouble they put me through, Fledge! If just having a baby this hard, parenthood must seem like a piece of a cake! Or maybe that's even worse! But what is worse? A foal or a filly?"

Laughing amusingly he just shook his head and told her honestly. "I think parenthood is a wonderful and difficult journey no-matter-what age your child is at. Whether they're big or small a parent's job is never done whether they're young or old.

Or at least that's how my own parents explained it too me when I asked them about it. That may have been a couple thousand years ago or so but still fresh in my mind. I do cherish whatever memories still cling in my heart and mind of my beloved parents who I wish could be here to witness the birth of their grandfoal," he admitted depressingly.

Twilight gazed sympathetically at her husband and comforted him best she could. "I know you envy me that I'm lucky to have my family still here to meet this baby and I do feel bad that I shall never meet my own in-laws. I do wish they're here as well to meet the baby, but sadly they cannot be. We shall do our best to honor them in spirit and more important we shall make sure this child knows where they came from and all who make up their family even those who are gone."

"I love you so much, Twilight Sparkle."

"As I love you Fledge Dreamwings!"

They're enveloped in a very passionate kiss when someone the magically sealed doors to their bedroom burst open and something or someone came zooming in super-fast and was screaming and it caused quite a bit of chaos for a few minutes before whatever it was seemed to have landed half buried in a pile of spare bed sheets and bed curtains.

"What in the name of Celestia was that?!" Twilight exclaimed in utter shock as her husband hurried over to get whatever was buried unearthed and untangled from the great many piles of sheets and curtains.

Finally they heard a familiar voice gasp deeply for breath and then after sucking in a deep breath say "Thank you, Prince Fledge! Sorry for crashing into the bedroom unexpectedly but these beautiful but damn wings seemed to have a mind of their own! I had no control over them at all!" gasped the speaker who was still having trouble speaking.

They both looked and saw it was an Alicorn with a light amber coat and a fiery red and golden yellow mane with a red and yellow sun cutie mark wearing the tiara they'd just given Sunset Shimmer. Her wings were fluttering about like crazy as she was rubbing her sore head as a few tears glisten from her aqua green eyes.

"Sunset Shimmer! Welcome back!" the royal couple exclaimed happily as they hugged the new Alicorn Princess who hugged them back elatedly.

"It's good to finally be home, Twilight; even if it's just of a visit. I just…Ahh! How do you get these things to listen to me?!" she screamed in a panic as her new wings just start trying to skyrocket her to the ceiling against her will and Fledge and Twilight had to use their magic to anchor her to the ground for the moment.

Twilight could not help but laugh as she recalled how hard it was for her to learn to use her wings and how for a while it did seem they did have a mind of their own. It was not easy to learn how to use a new body appendage when you were not born with it.

Sighing she spoke in her sympathetic voice once more to her friend, "I can help you learn to use them properly or at least manage them so for future visits you're not flying into everything. We already have Rainbow Dash who occasionally crashes we don't need you too!"

"That would be much appreciated, Twilight, I'd really like that. Um, Fledge? Would you be so kind to make sure my bag survived the crash? It really is overstuffed with way too much junk to be honest. But everyone wanted to give so many gifts for the baby; plus they also wanted me to take as many pictures as possible so they can finally see Equestria. I don't want to let them down as that be not fulfilling my duties as a Princess."

"Your bag survived completely intact don't fret, Sunset. I'm sure we can make sure you've more than enough photos to take back and a couple of mementos as well. Though about we at least lighten the load by taking the gifts for the baby to where the rest of the gifts are being stored till the ceremony takes place? That will make it less cumbersome," Fledge suggested.

"Please let me take her there, Fledge! Let me out of this bedroom that's been my prison for like seven and half months! Please! I swear if you undo your spell I'll only show Sunset our homes and I won't go anywhere else! I can't stay in this room any longer! Please let me out!" begged Twilight which shocked Sunset who never expect to see Twilight beg.

But obviously being grounded this long was driving her more crazy then the pregnancy itself and if Fledge had cast one of those spells that cannot be undone unless by the pony who cast it there was no way out for Twilight unless her husband said so.

Feeling bad that Twilight hadn't seen the light of day for so many months and feeling she did need some girl time and it would help Sunset with her Princess duties he relented. But only under the condition she didn't leave the premises. That she remained within the castle or the palace or just within a 100 feet outside but no further than that.

Agreeing to it magically sealing the deal he undid the spell and the two Alicorn Princess left the bedroom and Twilight acted like she just left prison which in a sense she had.

She pretty much said as much as Sunset gave her a few moments to rant and rave and vent her feelings and blow of months of steam and bent up hormones and when she finally got it all out she felt better.

"Feel better now, Twilight?"

"Much better."

"This is some pretty amazing shindig you have here. It's even more impressive than my apartment I share with Mom and Dad. Sci-Twilight and the other girls were pretty blown away about how my mom and dad blend their very vast different personal interests together in such a cool and amazing way.

My mom is a very free-spirited creative driven young woman who seeks knowledge and loves to express herself through art and music. So she's talented and well educated, but still very kindhearted, loving and understanding and amazingly forgiving and quite insightful.

My dad, he loves finding his own enlightenment and believes if you just listen to a little of everything and mix it together you can truly make something unique and really understand the bigger picture much better. That simple concepts can be found in every culture if we stop looking at the things we think are different and realize how much the same we all are. So he takes the best of each and blends them together to have a unique interpretation

He's also talented in math and cooking and both my parents believe in a healthy lifestyle not just for the body but mind body and soul. For all three are effect by one.

They still are trying to make sure I still take very good care of myself and help me prevent getting bad diseases and it can be annoying at times, but they love me and that what matters most."

"Sounds like you've got very wonderful parents, I hope Fledge and I can be half as good as your parents."

"Well, my parents had some advice for you two. They wrote you a small parenting manual you could call it I guess; but it's more of an advice book really, since parenthood doesn't really come with an instructional manual; though there are a few things all parents should do and should not do at all," she told Twilight as she used her magic to remove one small package from her overflowing saddle bag.

It was wrapped in homemade colorful wrapping paper that did seemed to show both of Sunset's parents' spirits well. Twilight used her magic to unwrap it and saw an average-sized journal that had a beautiful hand drawn cover with the words done in equally beautiful calligraphy and again it was nice to see how much Sunset's human parents cared for their daughter and the one who put her on the right path.

"It's a most treasured and gracious gift. We truly appreciate them sending us a gift and we are thankful we could give them back the gift of you to still be their daughter for a long time."

"They're very indebted to you for saving my life and giving them back their daughter back to them. So that is partly why they wish to help you with your own child. So they'd like to offer any guidance they can.

So let me explain what they've put in this book. As you can see the pages are many fascinating colors all of my mother's choosing and my father who is good a calligraphy since he writes haiku poems as a way relax did the writing.

But everything is color coded by chapter subject and done in different ink colors as well to make it even more special. My parents always know how to turn anything into a fun and special project and we all had a lot of fun making this book even my kitten Daybreak helped with choosing the ink to use.

So the book contains advice, many commonly asked questions with answers along with some inspirational quotes and other things that should help you with your approaching motherhood.

I also did something special to add you even further and strength the bond between Earth and Equestria by using some of the magic from my journal so if you really need to talk to my parents on a matter write away there is a special section where you can ask a question and they'll get it and answer you back when they get the message.

I really hope this help with my duties as a Princess in the human world. I really want to help you since you've done so much for me and my family is so thankful we just want to help you as well," she finished while blushing as red as her mane.

By now they reached the room they're storing all the gifts that had already arrived for the baby so the two Princess continued to talk as they properly organized the gifts by both name and geographical location.

It was a bit of a game and it made Sunset so happy to use her new Alicorn magic to help stack them as she and Twilight laughed a giggled remember how when they first met they'd been enemies and now they're friends and how each had saved the others' lives.

They also took some time to use Sunset supercharge digital camera too start taking as many pictures as possible for everyone back at CHS. So they continued to talk and work on both magic and a bit of flying as she showed her around the castle while still managing to avoid everyone else who were still too wrapped up in their own fusses thank god.

They eventually arrived at a lonely corridor door that at the end had a strange double golden door at the end that a picture of Prince Fledge reared up dramatically on it.

"What's this?" inquired a confused Sunset who paused only a moment to snap double photos of it.

"It's the magical elevator we installed so we can go to and from my castle to Fledge's palace without anypony seeing us and not have to fly outside to do. It's kind of a magical shortcut because you can't see it from the inside where we keep the mirror portal but his palace is quite high up and well even flying their normally isn't easy and I really can't do it in my current condition. So hop aboard we're going upstairs," as she went to one crystal that was different than the rest because unlike the rest this one just had the tiniest speck of gold. She pressed it and elevators opened and the two Princesses climbed aboard and Sunset wasn't sure how a magical elevator would feel like.

The doors closed soundlessly behind them and then they became surrounded by a glittering gold mist while standing on the softest fluffiest golden cloud ever and they just rose gently up a tunnel of pure golden light and heard the most enchanting singing she'd ever heard and it felt like only a second later they heard the chime of a golden bell and a doorway magically appeared soundlessly and they got off into a similar corridor.

Sunset was in awe for a few minutes and Twilight knew why. There wasn't one pony who didn't know the tale of "The Golden Horned Alicorn" Every filly had had that Ponytale read to them when they're young and of course like how human little girls fell in love with storybook princes so did fillies with the famous Prince Fledge's storybook self.

It looked like there're a few things humans and ponies had in common and it was daydreaming about silly fantasies of marrying a princes and having a fairytale life or make-believe at some point in their lives.

Still keeping to her promise Twilight finished the tour and did show Sunset the mural Fledge had had painted to honor his parents' memory. Sunset admit she felt bad for Prince Fledge since she knew human Fledge's parents and other then his mom Strawberry could be a bit of a worry wart and overprotective she was fine and his parents were nice.

They did practice flying some more and at least by the time they went back downstairs for dinner Sunset seemed to have gained better control over her new wings and at least she was crashing into everything anymore. Not to mention she already at least 50 pictures taken.

When they did get back to the ground and went to the dining room they found Spike was finishing serving dinner and everyone looked like they're dead tired and then they snapped awake when Twilight and Sunset both trotted into the room.

Seeing Sunset Shimmer was strange for two reason, one was because last time they saw her she'd stolen Twilight's crown and she's been an enemy so the other ponies hadn't really seen her transformation as a person. Secondly it always takes one a while to get used to seeing a new Alicorn. Now they had three Alicorn sitting at the dining room table and there was a fourth one right now in Twilight's swollen belly due very soon to come out.

Sunset felt awkward for similar reasons, it been a long time since she'd been in Equestria, two she was now an Alicorn, and three though she was surround by familiar faces they still weren't the same people who knew her even if they had the same names.

Still at least there was someone who unexpectedly broke the ice for everyone. Helena came strolling in with her majestic wings fluttering behind her behind and everyone turn their attention to her.

Sunset knew of centaurs of course; from reading human books on mythical creatures but she'd never heard of one that also had wings. She also really notice that for the human part of Helena was exactly like the Helena Faith that was Fledge's family personal assistant in the human world.

"Hello, everyone, please pardon my lateness for dinner. I had a free half hour so I've been practicing my archery skills as part of the Amicita Somnium Magicae Baptisma Ceremony for when the baby is born. I'm working on creating very special arrows just for the occasion.

I also had to tend to some things in the Royal Garden in the Palace, my Prince. With most of my mystical plants and herbs growing there as well I need to watch them, I did make sure your mother's own special flower she bred herself is still thriving and doing well.

I'll also say judging from how they stars look tonight good fortunes is smiling upon all our futures."

"That's wonderful news to hear, Helena, may I introduce our special guest for tonight, Princess Sunset Shimmer who is visiting as part of her duties as Ambassador of Equestria and Emissary of Friendship?" Fledge replied cordially as he introduced the newest princess to his best friend.

Helena bowed to the princess and replied in her enchantingly musical voice, "It's an honor and privilege to finally meet your acquaintance Princess Sunset. My Prince has shared a few sparing details of my other world's counterpart and I'm pleased to hear I'm very much the same, though I've have two legs and no wings," she giggled.

"It's an honor to meet you as well, Helena, for meeting your human world counterpart was very wonderful indeed and she's been perfectly lovely to my friends and of course my world's Fledge. Though it's always interesting to see how the other one is different and alike seeing how just because we may look alike and have the same name doesn't mean we are cut from the same cloth. Same name different person.

Doesn't mean there is not some similarities mind you, but more than enough difference as well. I cannot say for myself how my human counterpart was before I came along because she passed on before I came so I will never get to compare what made us the same and what made us different.

Though I'm eager to see the similarities as well as the differences of all I can from the CHS students to their Equestria counterparts while I'm here and document for my friends back home."

"I think it shall be quite a fascinating social experiment even a bit like anthropology very studious. I wish you well on your experiment and the stars foretell that you're other duties and endeavors shall fair well while you stay here for a short visit."

"I'm glad to hear that and I'd be very eager to hear more from you on your personal history if you don't mind. My world Fledge has a passion for anything to do with any kind of mythology and he kill me if I didn't tell him how his family personal assistant is a winged centaur in Equestria without some way to explain it to him!"

Laughing gaily she smiled warming her full magenta lips in a kissing smile she gazed lovingly at the new Princess and replied more kindly then she did when the Mane Six asked about her origins.

"Well, as this is for my Prince even if it's another world, you can inform him here I'm not a full centaur.

My father Anselm was one of the most gifted centaurs ever to live and he just as wise as he was skilled in all the ways of his people; which is why he led his herd for many years; in fact he was the longest leader of the herd in record history!

My mother Morning Star? She was a seraphim or one of the highest most ranking angels. She was also one of the most beautiful and with biggest heart you can imagine. She had a heart of gold and beautiful soul and as well as beauty beyond measure.

I understand it's an unlikely pairing that a mythical beast that is half human and half horse would fall in love with one of the servants of the Lord above or she return those feelings; but love has no limits of any kind and true love is a gift and it's the greatest gift next to life itself.

So when she was sent to check out the Golden Enchanted Sovereignty for the Lord watches all worlds not just Earth mind you she came to a clearing where my father was healing the sick on the orders of Prince Fledge's father King Helia and well when their eyes met it was true love.

I'm not completely sure how I was conceived or born to be honest but I am who I am. I've all the abilities of both my parents and I did inherit my mother's beauty and my father's courage. So I'm truly the best of both my parents who I must also say sadly are both gone.

I lost my father to the Plague of Disbelief and well one doesn't serve the Lord without the dangers of demons attacking once and awhile.

I'll give you a copy of my personal diary to take back to Fledge on the promise he alone reads it and no-one else."

"I shall honor your wishes and deliver the gift as you request it and thanks for sharing. So how about we eat some dinner now? I brought some of my parents cooking and a few other things from my world to share as well for dinner for all of us to try."

"That would be lovely dear, and the rest of you ponies it's rude to star, so let's mind our manners and eat this lovely feast before us?" Helena suggested sternly as she went to her place which was the left of her Prince and Sunset sat on the left of Twilight.

So they spent the night having a very long talk and though at first the Mane Six was still not eager to get to know Sunset when she began talking about their other selves curiosity got the better of them and by the time dinner was over and everyone was enjoying super chocolate hot chocolate things turned out better.

That week went by smoothly as all the last minute things were finalized and everypony was making friends with Sunset who was trying to do her duties while waiting anxiously for the moment she was really dreading which came that Saturday.

Sunset had been staying in one of the better guest rooms and was still trying to get her new wings under control which Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had tried to help her with some when they'd taken a break from their jobs.

It still wasn't easy but she had had a good flight last night during the sunset and just enjoyed being back home even at the same time while this was the land of her birth it just didn't feel really like home anymore or at least not the same feeling of home where her parents were.

She was making her bed without magic that morning as the sun was rising into the skies but feeling a little homesick at the same time. How can you be homesick two ways? She'd been homesick for Equestria for weeks and excited about coming back for her first Princess visit, but now that she was here? As she stood alone in this large and lavishing room fit for a Princess something she had wanted for so long it felt wrong so empty.

She wished right now she was just in her own bedroom back in the apartment which was so much smaller in comparison to this room. She wished Daybreak was sleeping at the foot of her bed licking her awake and then she hear her parents making their normal healthy breakfast and reminding her to take her vitamins and of their daily plans.

Making sure no-pony was around and that even Spike wasn't gonna pop in unannounced Sunset pulled out something she'd gotten from her parents after the party they threw to celebrate her living and become theirs.

It was a beautiful golden heart shaped locket that had her cutie mark engraved on the front of the heart. She opened it and she started to cry for on the left side was the picture taken in front of the school with her friends after the Friendship Games. On the right side was a picture of her and her parents with her holding Daybreak in her lap; seeing both those photo just made Sunset burst into tears like she never wanted to stop crying. Because she was crying so much she didn't hear someone come into the room and just jumped very high and was flapping like crazy from someone's hoof touching her shoulder.

Once she calm down some and heart stopped threatening to come out of her chest she looked down and about fell out of the air. Looking at her with those big kind pink eyes and that unexplained always flowing mane of many colors was Princess Celestia.

Knowing they had not parted on the best of terms to say the least Sunset had been fearing this moment since coming to Equestria and was sure even if Celestia was very kind, understanding and loving she was still a force to be reckoned with.

You are not the ruler of Equestria for a 1000 years and do the feats she had done without having the means to back it up and even Celestia could lose her temper and when that happened well, she did banish her own little sister to the moon, what was she really gonna do to Sunset even if been her orders to make her a Princess?

Sunset's fear must have been very apparent as she flew down and bowed so low to floor she couldn't even look Celestia into the eye and could only manage to say in a barely audible whisper "It's nice to see you once again, your Majesty. I trust things have been very well in Equestira since my departure or should I say to be more accurate my own self-imposed exile after I betrayed you.

I'm honored you allowed me the honor of being a Princess even when I do not truly deserve it but I still thank thee for bestowing these wings upon my back. I will not do anything to ruin the Ceremony for your prized student's child and I'll leave as quickly as I came so not to hurt Equestira or you further because of my sinful behavior.

I truly apologize for not listening to your teachings before and I only wish you could forgive me. So I'm most aggrieved for my sinful mistakes of the past and I shall not do anything to ruin such a special occasion.

You may do whatever you now wish to me for my crimes so give me the punishment I deserve."

Princess Celestia did not speak or move for a few moments as she just gazed at her former student who looked so scared. She then glanced around the room and noticed the locket sticking out from under the bed where it had fallen. She used her magic to summon it too her and opened it to and she looked for a moment shocked, then smiled and shed one tear.

She placed one hoof gently on Sunset's head and Sunset dared to look at her former teacher face for the first time in years. Celestia was still smiling as she helped Sunset off the ground and then bowed to her.

"Welcome home, my student, I may have failed to teach you the lessons you needed to learn, but sometimes we need to learn lessons for ourselves. It seems Equestira was not the place you needed to be to learn what you needed to learn.

But you have indeed come full circle and you are a true Princess, Sunset Shimmer. You've proven beyond the shadow of a doubt you have all the right qualities of a Princess and seeing how far you have come? To have fallen so far you were once evil then to the point you are able to save someone life by harnessing the Elements of Harmony within your own body?

Only a True Princess can do such a feat, Sunset. No-one else can do such a feat but one who truly understands the Elements of Harmony. You also bore a new one in the process. You brought forth the new element; the Element of Forgiveness and that alone is also shows your even more worthy of your wings. I am proud of you my student."

"Thank you, Princess Celestia, hearing you say that you have no idea how that makes me feel. Especially right now when I'm feeling even more conflicted and I can't explain...huh?" she asked as Princess Celestia used her magic to fasten the locket securely around Sunset's necklace.

"You've the treasure of your friends and family and to know we were able to save you and that your parents love you so much? It makes me happier then you'll ever know.

I was very worried about you when you left, I wonder where you lived or who was taking care of you or if you even had a home or someone to love you. I'm very happy you have such loving home and obviously your mother and father love you more than life itself. I'm glad we could give them the gift of your life."

Sunset cried even more and went back to her bag and took out a small box and used her magic to present it to Princess Celestia.

"What is this?" she asked confused as she undid the wrapping paper.

"It's a thank you gift from Mom and Dad. They want to thank you all for helping to save my life. This is for you I hope you like it," she replied while blushing a bit.

Opening the package was a locket in the shape of Celestia's cutie mark opening it was a poem but it wasn't in a language she knew but she could tell it was a poem. So Sunset explained.

"My mom made the necklace herself and my dad engraved painstakingly a haiku poem of our thanks and love to you and all of Equestria for helping to save my life and putting me on the right path. It also says at the bottom thank you very much with all our family love Sunfire and Yin Yang. It's written in my dad's favorite language Japanese," she finished while blushing even more.

"Tell your parents I think the word is "Arigato" Is that how you told Twilight you say "Thank you" in the language your father uses when he's happy?"

"Hai or Yes."

"Why don't you tell me about what's life been like for you for these past few years? Hearing what you've written to Twilight is wonderful but I want to hear a firsthand account not from some other pony's mouth."

So the two ponies continued their day of reconciling and by the end of that Saturday all had been forgiven and both were friends once more and Sunset finally truly felt she was really worthy of the title of Princess now that Celestia herself had said it too her face.

The last week of Twilight's pregnancy seemed to be the longest week of her life every day felt like ten years and every hour felt even longer than eternity but finally it was the night of the blue moon her due date.

They waited all day anticipating Twilight going into labor and had the delivery room all set up by as it was drawing closer to nightfall and not a single contraction or a hint of her even being close to labor they felt maybe they got the date wrong. It wasn't till the moment of twilight itself that Twilight herself finally went into labor and boy was it painful and she was moved so fast into the delivery room she was in there before you could blink!

Only Fledge was allowed in the delivery room along with a doctor and a few midwife ponies of course. Every other pony had to wait outside. Everyone was doing something to ease the tension.

Applejack was playing cards with Fluttershy, Rarity was fussing with her mane, Rainbow Dash was flying around in a circle, Pinkie Pie was blowing up balloon after balloon, Starlight and Sunset were talking about their past mistakes and how Twilight had helped them and hoping they could really help others not make their mistakes as well and Spike was on Helena's back pacing back and forth while she paced back and forth herself.

It was at the stroke of midnight they finally all heard the sound they'd been waiting 11 long months to hear; a newborn cry! Nothing could have withstood the power of all of them banging on door to get into that room to see the baby.

That door might as well been a piece of paper that they tore to shreds the way it went down as they hurried inside and well the medical staff just quickly left to avoid being trampled to death by all the ponies coming to see the baby.

They had at least managed to get Twilight into a comfortable bed and she was sitting up right with Fledge next to her and in a lovely multi-colored blanket was the sleeping newborn baby.

The baby was a dark raspberry color a blending of Fledge's chestnut and Twilight's lavender coats. The foal's mane was in the same style of Fledge's but the color was a goldish color with a hint of bronze with the bright purple stripe from Twilight's mane zinging through it, they could also see their horn and the wings just poking a little through the blanket had the same coloring as the baby's mane and tail.

Whilst everyone was gushing and oohing and awwing and saying congratulations and saying how pretty the new princess was and all that Spike who was actually level with Twilight's bed and the baby thought something was a bit different and actually stole a peek through the blankets while everyone was distracted and was shocked.

Then he spoke. "Um ladies?"

"Yes, Spike? What is it?" Rarity asked a bit annoyed as she was trying to summon the right dress for the baby but that was gonna be totally unnecessary with what Spike said next.

"Um it's a BOY!"

The room went dead silent for a moment and you could hear a pin drop and one did drop because Rarity dropped a pin from shock and everypony just was speechless for a second then they all yelled the same thing.

"IT'S A BOY?! A NATURAL BORN MALE ALICORN?!"

And then everyone just went back to be shocked even more shocked then by Flurry Heart's birth for this was even more unheard of and who knew what the heck was gonna happen next?!
