"It was really great having you guys," Twilight smiled. "Especially with reading that story all together."
"Even if you used your Pinkie Pie voice." Atticus teased.
"I did not." Twilight smiled bashfully.
Atticus chuckled before hugging Twilight. Mo and Forte then came to also hug the lavender alicorn.
"Where's Cherry?" Twilight asked.
"She had to make a stop to Las Pegasus." Atticus replied.
"Must be visiting an old friend." Mo said.
In Las Pegasus...
Cherry was walking around until she ran into a bigger stallion. "Oh! Hi, Pen... Is Stellar near by?"
"I think he's in the hotel." Pen said as he had a scarf on and appeared to have presents for small children with him. "Want me to walk you to him?"
"I just wanna say goodbye." Cherry replied.
"Okay." Pen said.
Cherry and Pen then walked together.
"Oh, there he is." Cherry said as she spotted the magician stallion in the lobby, about to check out and she ran to see him.
Stellar smiled, he then looked over and saw Cherry coming which surprised him.
"Cherry?" Stellar asked out of surprise.
Cherry soon stopped and backed up slightly since their noses were right in each other.
"Why, I haven't seen you in a long time," Stellar smiled before sighing. "I remember when Fluttershy and Applejack came here for a Friendship Emergency, but you didn't come with them..."
"I'm sorry, but I was too busy at my own home to do anything." Cherry apologized.
"I understand." Stellar said.
"Been ages..." Cherry agreed. "Hey, maybe sometime, you and I could-"
A pegasus mare came up beside Stellar and he smiled to her and the two soon kissed each other right on the lips.
"Uh, who is this?" Cherry asked, referring to the mare.
"Hi there!" the mare smiled.
"This is Star Catcher." Stellar introduced. "My fiancee."
"When did you two...?" Cherry began to ask.
"We met after a show one night and we just kinda hit it off," Stellar smiled. "We're getting married in the summer."
"Isn't that nice?" Star Catcher added in.
Cherry forced a smile. "Fantastic!"
"You're not jealous, are you?" Pen asked.
"N-No, why would I be?" Cherry smiled sheepishly. "Uh, I better get back to the others!"
Pen then stomped his front hoof down on her tail to keep her from going anywhere. "Yeah, I'm not buying it." The magician stallion then said.
"Lemme go!" Cherry begged.
"Tell me the truth." Pen said.
"I am!" Cherry yelped as her wings fluttered out so she could fly away.
"Fine." Pen said before he let go of her tail.
Cherry's wings made her zip and hit the wall and she slowly slid down. She then shook herself back to normal and sighed. "Why should I be jealous? I'm married with my own family." Which reminder her that her family was going to be going back to the human world and were waiting for her. She then took a deep breath. Maybe she still had a bit of a crush on Stellar, but she was a married woman with children of her own now. She looked back to see Stellar happy with the pegasus mare, so she smiled sincerely for the first time in years, and then went to fly off to meet the others so they could go back to the human world.
Pen shook his head with a smirk and he took the bag of presents to see a mare for himself with a young filly and a colt which were his own children. "Ho, Ho, Ho!" Pen called out, acting like Santa once he got to his wife and kids.
"Hello." the mare smirked.
"Daddy!" the filly and colt ran over to Pen.
Pen laughed as he then brought out a bag of presents just for them. "Happy Hearth's Warming!"
"Yay!" The filly and colt cheered.
The mare smirked as she came over to Pen.
"Hello, dear." Pen smiled.
The mare gestured up to show mistletoe.
"Ohh." Pen smirked.
The mare then tackled Pen and gave him a kiss while pinning him down.
"Eeeewww!" the filly and colt called out and giggled.
Cherry soon got back to the others
"There you are," Atticus said. "Where were you just now?"
"Just getting used to my new wings." Cherry smiled nervously.
"Well, anyway, we'll be going to The Plaza." Mo said.
The ponies waved goodbye to their friends as they came through the portal to take them out of Equestria.
As they came out and into the most famous hotel in all of New York City, they heard Darla's scream of pain.
"Darla!" Atticus gasped since she was his little sister after all.
Darla groaned loudly and screamed as she squeezed Urchin's hand with tears in her eyes. "WHY DOES IT HAVE TO HURT SO BAD?!"
"Now, now, now, Darla, it'll be all right," Nanny soothed. "I've called Dr. Hadley and he's agreed to take care of you without an appointment from Eloise."
"Looks like the baby couldn't wait." Urchin said.
"You all right, Urchin?" Nanny asked.
"I'll be fine." Urchin smiled weakly as Darla gripped his hand, he may had been very strong, but Darla had a pretty good grip for going into labor.
Atticus and the others soon came in. Darla screamed louder than she had ever done before.
"Wow, last time I heard her scream like that, she was calling for Max." Cherry groaned as she covered her ears.
"I wish we had ear plugs." Akito added.
Atticus rushed over to Darla. "Darla, are you okay?"
"GET THIS THING OUT OF ME!" Darla yelled right at him.
"What can I do? It's not like I can just wish it out like when Timmy and Annabelle wished Poof out of Cosmo." Atticus said.
"Besides, there are no fairies or genies in the hotel." Nanny replied as she wasn't a stranger to the magical world since she was apart of this family.
"Did I hear someone say wish?" An older Annabelle smiled as she appeared.
"Annabelle..." Darla whispered. "Is that you?"
"Long time no see, Darla," Annabelle smiled back. "How are you?"
Darla then screamed out.
"Oops, sorry, I wasn't thinking," Annabelle smiled nervously at that. "Anyway, did I hear someone say the words 'I wish'?" she then asked.
"You sure did." Atticus smiled to his little sister's old friend.
"Well, I need someone to make the wish." Annabelle said.
"Okay, I wish the baby was out!" Estelle wished.
Annabelle took out her wand and waved it to get Darla through the pain and get it over with, and where POOF! the baby was out and cleaned due to the magic and was bundled up by a blanket.
Urchin gently pulled back the blanket. There was a newborn baby girl wrapped in an emerald green blanket with a small dark blonde curl of hair on her head and she had copper brown eyes like her father and even smiled and cooed, reaching out for her parents.
"Aw!" Atticus and thee others smiled.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Eloise asked.
"It's a girl." Darla smiled as she held the newest member of the family.
"She almost looks like my mother..." Urchin whispered in content.
"She looks so cute!" Estelle smiled.
"What's her name?" Felicity asked.
"Giselle." Urchin decided.
"It's perfect." Darla smiled.
The baby looked up to Eloise.
"I am Eloise, I am six," Eloise introduced herself to the baby girl. "I'm your big sister."
Giselle seemed to reach up to her big sister. Eloise smiled to that and then gently held out one of her hands. Giselle then soon grabbed one of Eloise's fingers.
Eloise giggled. "That tickles!"
"It's like she was waiting for Christmas to come so she could come out." Estelle said.
"That just makes the holiday even more special now." Akito agreed.
"Yeah." Vincent smiled.
This was sure going to be one Christmas and Hearth's Warming Eve no one would ever forget.
The End
