Episode 3: Twilight's Baby Excitement

In Canterlot City Hospital, Twilight is in the waiting room with her older brother, Shining Armor and her sister in law, Cadence. The three are wearing warm clothes, especially Cadence. Her stomach has grown big since the last ten month. The reason they're here is because of your monthly check up. Shining Armor and Cadence are due to have a baby around this snowy month.

Dr. Stables walks through the open door and says, "Shining Armor and Cadence."

Shining Armor and Twilight help Cadence walk to the room for the appointment.

When they enter the room, Dr. Stables along with Sweet Heart are checking on the baby. Dr. Stables uses a stethoscope to place on Cadence's stomach. Cadence and Shining Armor have been happy about their baby for months.

Dr. Stables removes the stethoscope, "The heartbeat is normal, and your baby is healthy."

"Can I hear it?" Twilight asks.

"Of course," Dr. Stables answers.

Twilight leans her head to Cadence's stomach and hears the baby's heart beating. Suddenly, the stomach wiggles a bit.

Cadence giggles, "Looks like the baby knows that her aunt is close by."

"I'll bet the baby wants to meet us," Shining Armor says.

"True, but the baby won't be due for a couple of more weeks. I'll give it on Christmas Eve to New Years' Eve," Dr. Stables says.

"That's interesting to know. At least we'll end up having a fun time during the holidays," Twilight says.

After the doctor appointment, Twilight and her family are at the Sweet Cafe. Pinkie passes them menus skates to the nest table.

"So Twilight, how does it feel that you're going to be the baby's aunt?" Shining Armor asks.

"I'm so excited. And I'm very happy for you tow. In a few short weeks, you're going to be parents and I'm going to be an aunt," Twilight happily says.

"We're excited too. And I think the baby is excited to meet us too," Cadence says with a calm smile looking down at her stomach.

She slowly rubs it like she will be doing when her child is born.

Suddenly, they hear someone calling, "Hey Twilight."

Twilight turns her head to see Sour Sweet, Sunny Flare, Sugarcoat, Indigo Zap, and Lemon Zest are walking to the table and sitting next to them.

"Hi girls, how is things going at Crystal Prep?" Twilight asks.

"Going good, except midterms are coming up soon. It's snowing and we're stuck inside," Indigo says.

"You know that once the exams are over we get to play in the snow all we want," Sugarcoat says.

Indigo rolls her eyes, "I know."

"So how are things going?" Lemon asks.

"Fine. We just went to the doctor earlier," Twilight says.

"Oh yeah. I almost forgot that Dean Cadence is due to have a baby soon," Sunny says.

Cadence giggles, "You need to call me Dean when we're out of school. There's no need to be formal."

"But Still, aren't you excited that you're going to have your first baby?" Sour asks with a smile.

Then grumbles, "Despite the pain you're going to go through."

Indigo slightly hits Sour on the arm.

Sunny asks, "So do you know if the baby is going to be a boy or a girl?"

"After a few testing and check ups, the doctor says it's possible that the baby is going to be a girl," Shining Armor answers.

"Really?" The Shadowbolt girls ask with glee.

"Have you come up with a name for her?" Sunny asks.

"We haven't decided yet, but we have a few options. We're hoping to wait until the baby is born to officially decide," Cadence answers.

"Can't wait," Lemon says.

"I'll bet the baby will be beautiful like Cadence," Sunny says.

"And maybe they'll be athletic like Shining Armor," Indigo adds.

Sour says to Twilight, "Make sure to send us some pictures when the baby is born."

"Promise," Twilight says, showing a smile on her face.

Then Lemon asks, "So Twilight, Pinkie texted me about you and the Rainbooms are being in the talent show."

"We sure are. We'll be playing our music," Twilight says.

"Cool. We're being in the show too. We're going to be doing a dance routine," Sunny says.

"Really now?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah. They have categories for the kind of talent perform in the show. Best Dance, Music, Performance, and other categories," Sour says.

"There will be ten categories and the first place winner from each one will be competing for the grand prize," Sugarcoat adds.

"That's good to know," Twilight says.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Shadowbolts and The Rainbooms make it to the finals," Lemon says.

Twilight smiles, and says, "We'll just have to wait and see."
