They held Twilight in the hospital for a few weeks. She was in her bed with IV's and heart monitors hooked up to her.
Twilight stared at the ceiling, her stare looked blank and empty. Luna worried as she gently squeezed Twilight's hoof.
Twilight didn't acknowledge Luna's existence. She felt nothing, her whole body was numb. She couldn't move to respond to Luna.
Twilight was screaming in her subconscious. She was fighting these feelings. She wanted to hold Luna. She wanted to be held by Luna. She wanted everything to be alright. She gasped as she felt her stiches on her stomach start to leak.
Luna heard the gasp, even though it sounded weak. She looked up to see Twilight's blanket had blood on it. She rang for the nurse and the nurse was there immediately within seconds.
The nurse saw the blood and lifted the blanket. She nodded as she walked over to the drawers and started grabbing gauze, tape and disinfectant.
"Now Ms. Sparkle this may sting just a little." The nurse said.
Twilight didn't respond. The nurse dabbed a little disinfectant onto the gauze, she looked at Twilight as she placed the gauze over the leaking stitch. Twilight didn't flinch, she didn't scream, she only blinked.
[hr]
Celestia and Discord would often drop by to visit. Their visits were short. Celestia had to cover for Luna and her royal duties.
Twilight sniffled as her eyes began to tear up. Luna gently squeezed her hoof, "What is wrong my love?"
"It's all my fault." Twilight croaked, her voice sounded raspy and dry.
"It isn't you fault." Luna whispered as she gently wiped Twilight's tears away. "This was just an unfortunate accident. Nopony is to blame."
Luna fought back to hold her own tears. Celestia saw this and placed her off on Luna's shoulder.
Twilight pulled the blanket over her head as she begun to sob.
Luna couldn't hold it in anymore and she too started to cry.
Celestia gently rubbed Luna's back. Discord's head hung low as he tried to hide the tears that were sliding down his own cheeks.
[hr]
The hospital released Twilight. Luna pushed her wheelchair outside, where there was a surprise waiting for her.
Her friends were all there. They had flowers in their hooves, and out of respect for Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash left Tundra at home with a babysitter.
Twilight gave a weak smile when she saw her friends. Luna cracked a small smile herself when she saw Twilight's small smile.
Twilight graciously accepted the flowers, as her friends walked with her and Luna back to the castle.
The girls hugged Twilight and gave her some encouraging words as they started to make their way back to the train station.
Once inside Twilight noticed all of the flowers that now littered the hallways.
"Everypony sent their condolences." Luna explained as she wheeled Twilight to their bedroom.
Twilight noticed that all of their foal supplies was now missing. She raised her hooves as she covered her eyes and she started to cry again.
Luna gently rubbed her back and she pulled Twilight into a gentle and comforting embrace.
Twilight wrapped her hooves around Luna as she continued to cry. There was one phase that she kept repeating to herself,
"It's all my fault."
Luna shook her head as she started to tear up and cry with Twilight, "No it's not."
Twilight nodded as she mental said,
"Yes it is."
[hr]
The months merged together for Twilight. She felt dead emotionally. Luna resumed her royal duties but, she still made time to check on Twilight and to spend time with her.
Twilight spent most of her days in bed, staring up at the ceiling. She would continually blame herself for the death of their foal.
Luna noticed that Twilight would barely move and that she was eating less and less. Luna was worried about Twilight and she did anything she could to make her wife happy.
Luna was on the verge of emotionally breaking down herself. She walked into the room and noticed that Twilight was eyeballing the balcony and the look in her eye communicated to Luna that she wanted to fling herself over the edge.
Luna made sure to keep a guard or servant in the room to watch Twilight at all times. She had lost one life, she didn't want to lose another.
Twilight would lay in bed, thinking of ways that she wanted to end it. One night Twilight woke up while Luna was still asleep.
She leaned over and kissed Luna on her forehead.
Twilight slid off of the bed, her body weak and frail. She walked over to the doors that led to the balcony. She reached over and unlocked the doors and gently swung one open.
Luna started to stir and she sat up realizing that her bed was empty. She looked around and was the balcony door was open. Her eyes buldged as she was Twilight climbing onto the railing of the balcony.
"NO! TWILIGHT!" Luna screamed as she jumped out of bed and flew to the balcony. She managed to grab Twilight just as she jumped.
Luna looked Twilight in the eyes, Twilight looked back with her eyes cold and blank. Luna cried as she pulled Twilgiht close and hugged her tight.
"Don't You Ever Do That Again!" Luna growled, emphasising every word.
Twilight sat perfectly still as tears started to roll down her cheek, "It's all my fault."
[hr]
Luna was worried about her wife and decided the check her back into the hospital. Luna explained to the doctor that Twilight hasn't been eating and tried to commit suicide.
The doctor nodded, "I expected this. See depression is very natural when one is experiencing lose. We will put her on some anti-depressants and we will hold her here to monitor her mental state."
Luna nodded as she gently kisses Twilight on her forehead, "I need to get back to work. Please get better my love. I will be back to check on your soon.
The doctor nodded as he gave Luna a reassuring smile, "We will take care of Mrs. Twilight, don't you worry Princess Luna."
Luna nodded, she gave the doctor a suspicious look as one clear thought crossed her mind. She turned and walked away.
The doctor took took Twilight to her room and set her up on her medicine and IV's. Twilight's subconscious screamed out as she hated the meds. Twilight knew something was wrong but she couldn't speak.
Her memory starts to wonder back to the worst day in her life.
[hr]
"The foal has passed on. It didn't make it." The doctor said.
"Why not? What causes miscarriage?" Luna asked, curious so that if they would try again they could avoid it.
"Well it can't really be avoided. It just sort of happens. It is not too common though. Maybe two mares weren't meant to have a foal together." He said.
[hr]
Luna watched as the doctor took care of her wife. She didn't trust him as far as she could throw him.
"You are doing fine Ms. Sparkle. You body is starting to replenish some of it's energy." He said.
Luna walked off and explore. She had this feeling that she just couldn't shake. She couldn't help but feel like her foals death was a murder.
[hr]
Twilight watched the rain outside as nutrients were being pumped into her stomach through the IV's.
She seemed to be out in space as she had millions of thoughts run through her mind.
She hadn't seen Luna for a few days. Tears started to stream down her eyes as she feared that Luna would want to get a divorce.
"I don't blame her. I lost our foal. It's all my fault." Twilight whispered to herself as she watched the rain fall and gently tap at her window.
For some reason Twilight had the sudden urge to jump out of that window. One part of her was telling her that it is what she should do and the other advised against it.
The doctor came into the room with a smug look on his face as he locked the door behind him.
"So how are we doing today Ms. Sparkle?" He asked.
Twilight just stared at the window, she had heard him speak but she couldn't bring herself to answer.
"Ahh I see the meds are doing their job. I see you are looking for a quick way out." The doctor said.
Twilight nodded, she was no longer in control of her actions.
"Remember, it is all your…" Just as he was about to finish the sentence the door was smashed to bits and there stood Nightmare Moon.
The doctor looked over in fear as Nightmare Moon flew over and punched him so hard he flew back and hit the wall.
A nurse came over to examine all the ruckus and screamed as what she had saw. She immediately ran to seek help.
"You dare sabotage our wife's womb and kill our foal on purpose." Nightmare Moon yelled.
Twilight looked to Nightmare Moon, "It's all my fault."
Nightmare Moon growled as she used her hoof to flatten the doctor's face.
Celestia ran in and yelled, "Luna control it. I know you are broken up about your foal but this isn't the way to handle it."
Nightmare Moon turned around with a look of pure anger and malice.
"We had found some evidence to prove that this was a murder and not a miscarriage." Nightmare Moon said.
Celestia looked confused and Twilight had finally snapped out of her medically induced trance.
"You see for the first few months of our wife's pregnancy they kept her in the hospital. Gave her a healthy diet and medicine. Medicine that was supposed to help our foal."
The realization hit both Celestia and Twilight as they looked over at the doctor who was not face down in a pool of his own blood.
"That medicine didn't help the foal. It stunned the foal's growth. When Twilight's water was ready to break the foal had not finished growing. Therefore instead of it being a clear sign of going into labor, it instead was the blood of our underdeveloped foal as it was released prematurely." Nightmare Moon said.
Twilight started to cry. Celestia called for the guards to arrest the doctor.
Nightmare Moon had faded back as she turned into Luna. Luna walked over and hugged Twilight.
Twilight finally spoke.
"It wasn't my fault."
[hr]
The doctor was arrested and a full out investigation occurred. The medicine he was giving Twilight after the miscarriage was shown to have destroyed some of her eggs and part of her ovaries.
The doctor didn't deny that he did what he did. He spoke out saying that that foal should have never existed. Two mares should have never been married regardless of their social status.
"Just because you are Princesses, doesn't mean you can do whatever the hell you want." was his exact words.
It would be nearly impossible for Twilight to ever get pregnant again. Luna and Twilight decided that they might as well adopt but they want some time to pass before they actually do.
After this life changing incident Twilight and Luna became more aware of the ponies who surrounded them in their daily life. Needless to say Luna became a little paranoid, Twilight became a lot more paranoid.
The girls would come by to visit still. Their visits were rare but they tried to visit anyway they knew how. Sometimes as a whole group, and other times just maybe one or two.
Rainbow and Fluttershy were very careful of Twilight and Luna's feelings. They still didn't bring Tundra to visit until Twilight told them that it would be okay.
Shockingly enough it was. She was able to hold him and play with him without crying.
Tundra had gotten bigger and was now trying to speak. Some words didn't come out properly though.
"Twimite, Twimite." He would call her.
As the months passed Luna had started going back to work helping her sister with their royals duties. Twilight wasn't that far behind.
While getting ready for a meeting Twilight looked at the scar on her stomach. She came to realize that this scar will never go away. Neither will the memory of what happened to their foal.
It will haunt her for the rest of her days, however, she realized that it wasn't her fault. This was an act of hate towards what she is.
Her character wasn't being judged, it's her sexuality that was. She would learn to grow as a princess and show all of those neigh sayers that just because she is into mares, doesn't mean she is any less of a pony or a princess.
If anything her love and tolerance makes her more.
