Finally there is going to be a chapter about the long awaited Pie twins! Hope you all enjoy!
Starlight smiled as she used her magic to tie a bow on the gift that she had gotten her aunt Pinkie and Uncle Cheese for the foal shower Discord insisted they surprise the pink pony with. It was true you shouldn't plan your own foal shower but no pony knew what to expect after that one time her mother told her about that Pinkie literally deflated when her friends surprised her with a birthday party they couldn't tell her about. She thought that they hadn't enjoyed her parties anymore, of all things!
Still things were different now right? There was no way that would happen again. She set the box down on the table and moved to head to the kitchen to check on her great Grandma Daisy, "How's the tea coming along Grandma?"
The old unicorn grinned and set a cup down for her, "Have a cup, sweetie! You've earned it. Your mothers have been so busy lately huh?"
"Yeah," The lavender Alicorn chuckled, "They've been trying not to act suspicious so that aunt Pinkie doesn't go into one of her moods. But that's ok, right? And I don't mind one bit. My worry is for when her family comes to visit."
The two shared a laugh, knowing how the Pies could be...well nothing much like Pinkie herself, but then again who reflected exactly what their family was about without them ALL being there? No pony that Starlight could think of. Well except for maybe Lucy but then again, Lucy wasn't just ANY pony now was she? Honestly it was going to be great when Pinkie Pie actually had the foals, it would be so cool and Starlight personally couldn't wait to babysit them. Solina appeared in the room and stomped her hoof, a look of anger on her face.
"I CAN'T believe you got me grounded for three months! It was just one little Nightmare Night trick!" The little blue filly whined, earning an eye roll from her older sister.
"I wasn't the one who ran off into a haunted castle without anypony with her." Starlight said simply.
This caused the filly to growl and stomp her hoof again, "It was just a dumb prank! I shouldn't have to miss the big party!"
Twilight walked in at that point and she chuckled, "And you won't, your mother and I talked it through and you will be able to go to the party."
This cheered the filly up greatly and she fluttered her wings happily, lifting slightly off the ground though just barely, "yes!"
Twilight chuckled and shook her head, "buuuuuut, you have to help clean up after the party."
Starlight and Daisy both chuckled when the younger princess lowered her head with a pout, "pony feathers!"
The three older ponies laughed lightly and patted her on the head. They weren't going to let her clean up all by herself but they still had to punish her for scaring her older sister. Starlight chuckled as she helped her great grandmother to get to the door so that she could help her out on the way to the train station. She was sad that she couldn't stay with them longer but hey she WAS a substitute teacher, she had to be ready for if she was needed.
"So I heard there's this new colt friend of yours eh?" Daisy asked, nudging her great granddaughter.
The Alicorn blushed and looked away with a light chuckle, "Yes...his name is Elusive and he's aunt Rarity's son. They're from Canterlot but they recently moved down here."
Her great grandmother's eyes were slightly wider now, it was clear she knew him but she hid it from her easily, "Oh? well that's nice dear. I can make it to the station from here. You better go and help your mothers out with setting up. I'm sure Mrs. Pie/Sandwich will be there any moment."
She blinked and nodded, "well if you're sure. I'll see you soon Great Grandma."
The two waved and went their separate ways, though Daisy Dazzle was quite concerned for her great granddaughter, "That little filly don't know what's coming...I hope he doesn't hurt her..."
Starlight walked with a smile on her face as she met her family and all their friends gathered at Sugarcube Corner, putting the finishing touches on the surprise foal shower. She grinned at Night Flyer, who gave a sheepish smile back. Lucy hugged her best friend happily and they both laughed and hurried to put their own final touches on the place as they chatted quietly.
"So, is Solina still mad about you two getting her and MoonStone in trouble?" Lucy asked as she used her magic to tie up some confetti everywhere.
Starlight chuckled slightly, "Yeah but she'll get over it eventually."
Lucy nodded in agreement, after all, no siblings could REALLY stay mad at each other forever. They got everything set up and ready just in the nick of time. Mr and Mrs. Cake couldn't keep them busy much longer. They all got to their hiding places and waited as Pinkie and Cheese chatted with the cakes before the lights were suddenly turned on.
"SURPRISE!" Everypony cheered, causing the two most energetic ponies to gasp.
The two stared in awe at the group of friends they had all around them. They had put so much into this and planned everything that the pair would enjoy for a fun and joy-filled foal shower, even Discord had some chaotic yet oddly pretty decorations made out of pure confetti. Though he wasn't going to tell anyony that they actually worked as confetti canon balls if one so desired.
"Surprise! We all wanted to surprise you, Pinkie. You've done so much for use when we all had our foals we thought that it would be nice to return the favor." Fluttershy said softly with a smile.
The bright pink pony gasped and leaped slightly happily, "OMIGOSH OMIGOSH! This is the best surprise EVER! Thank you so so so so so so so so so so much everypony!"
Everypony laughed as Cheese calmed Pinkie down, hey nopony said he didn't have his calm moments, right? Though this was alright by everypony else, there was only room for one energized pony at this party, and they may as well let it be Pinkie right? They got Pinkie to calm down, but it took a minute.
Soon enough everypony was enjoying foal name games, inspired by the parents own experiences growing up, "Wowie wow wow! Discord these are the best ideas ever! But...how did you know about how we each grew up?"
"Ooooooooooh I have my ways." Discord said with a chuckle.
Pinkie raised an eyebrow and blinked slightly, something didn't feel quite right. She moved to speak to Cheese to tell him, "Um, Cheesy?"
"Oh really? Ok smart guy...what's my mothers maiden name?" Cheese Challenged, at the moment too caught up in the moment, as they both had a habit of doing, to hear his wife.
She pouted and winced slightly again, this time tapping his shoulder, "Sweetie?"
Once again no response.
Pinkie simply rolled her eyes and turned her head to a certain point and tapped at the air, kind of like it were a wall, "Can you guys believe this? Yeah. Yeah you there," she tapped the invisible wall again, "Readers! Yeah you there, on your computer and/or mobile device! Poke the screen a couple times will ya? Get their attention!"
A sudden shaking of the walls got everyponys attention and Cheese winced slightly when he noticed his wife starting to look a little more uncomfortable, "Balloon bunny! Are you alright? What is it?"
Pinkie looked at him, "Cheesy I think we're about to become parents...like...NOW!"
The room went into panic, though mostly for MoonStone and Solina, who weren't quite sure what to do. They got Pinkie to the hospital in the nick of time, thank Celestia. Twilight got spike to send a letter to Pinkie Pie's family, letting them know that it was time, so they could come and celebrate with Pinkie. They all waited outside in the waiting room, Discord had to sit quietly in the corner to avoid scaring any newborns they brought through the waiting room.
"You would think that they would adore me with how silly I look." Discord grumbled slightly, Fluttershy patting his back slightly.
After a couple hours the group noticed the door open and Five full looking ponies crowded into the waiting room. Starlight immediately recognized the grey mare with the light purple mane and the grey dress as Maud Pie. She had met Maud a couple of times already but not often enough. She seemed dull to Starlight, but by no means was she rude, mean or boring, simply a little bit dull compared to her younger sister.
Her parents were actually slightly smiling for a change, from when Twilight had remembered meeting them. Igneous Rock Pie, Pinkie's father was a bit grayer now but then again who wouldn't be at his age? Cloudy Quartz, her mother, was quieter than one would expect from the mother of Pinkie Pies mother but she was sort of giddily dancing around in excitement.
Limestone Pie looked pretty sternly at the ponies around her, mainly the nurses, possibly threatening them to make sure they take care of Pinkie Pie and her foals. Marble Pie was simply staring at the ground drawing circles with her hoof. All in all the Pie family was just as simple yet happy as they could be for Pinkie Pie.
"Has Pinkie Pie had the foals yet? We got here as fast as we could." Limestone Spoke harshly, yet somewhat friendly to Twilight.
The Alicorn shook her head, "We aren't sure, sometimes with Twins it takes longer to actually give birth."
"Well we can't just stand in here while Pinkie Pie goes through this alone in there." She said gruffly.
"There is nothing we can do, Limestone. We shall await for the birth, and pray that Pinkie pulls through." Igneous Rock said softly as he and Cloudy Quartz sat down
"Pinkie Pie can pull through, after all, she's a Pie." Maud said in her usual monotone voice and a slight smile.
"Mhmm." Marble Pie agreed quietly.
Discord whispered slightly to his wife, "are we sure Marble isn't your sister?"
Needless to say he quieted down pretty quickly under Flurrershy's gaze. He didn't need to be making jokes light that at a time like this...no matter how accurate. The group waited and waited and waited, until finally Cheese Sandwich appeared in the doorway. He was grinning as he motioned to the viewing area happily.
Once everyone was there he grinned and walked over to two cribs, "Meet our little Twins. This is little Raspberry Tart Pie."
He pulled down a blanket to show a little tiny earth pony filly with a pink coat and mane with a little white mixed in. When she opened her eyes they were bright Green just Like Cheese's. There were quite a few aww's from the crowd, even the Pie family couldn't contain themselves.
"And our other little sweetie, Sunrise Surprise Pie." Cheese grinned as he did the same with the other crib.
The little foal in this crib was orange like Cheese, with a poofy yellowish mane that had quite a bit of pink shading all over, mixed in with the yellowish orange color. Her eyes opened and she giggled happily at the big ponies looking at her. Her eyes were blue, to match Pinkie Pie's.
"Oh they are just so cute!" Starlight gushed happily, "Welcome to the world little Pies."
