Ain’t she a beautiful, lil’ filly?” A female unicorn said to her beloved, special somepony, while she was holding a newborn filly with her hooves. “She looks so beautiful. Oh! She even has my eyes!” she spoke with enthusiasm, although being tired after being under a long laboring process, and giggled as she nuzzled her baby with motherly love. “Indeed she is, my dear”, the male unicorn answered with equal enthusiasm and happiness as he was looking at such heart-warming scene, “she will surely achieve so many great things. I can see her now being a wonderful and powerful unicorn, like me, or like you”, he spoke and he laughed as he moved his hoof up and caressed his beloved marefriend’s mane. “I know. Oh, how should we name ‘er, sweetheart? I was thinkin’ ‘bout giving her a nice, sweet name. A name that would represent something special, and pretty,” the mare said as she looked back at her coltfriend, speaking with the glimpse and tone of hope only a first-time mother would feel within. As both speak, the newborn, a little unicorn filly, with navy blue coat, midnight blue eyes, indigo and purple amethyst colored short mane and tail, and white freckles on her cheeks, was looking around with curiosity, eyeing quickly at the white hospital’s roof, and at her parents. Then, when her mother nuzzled her, she sneezed, and then giggled as she paddled her legs a bit. Her father looked at her reaction, and laughed quietly again. “It should be then a fitting name, a very wonderful name.” He then rubbed his chin a bit, thinking. “How about we name her Sally, dear?” She spoke as she smiled. “It sounds neat, ‘n’ fun! Don’t ya think?” She said with happiness, and then giggled softly, soon looking back at her daughter, and caressing her mane. His chuckle widened a bit, and nods. “I like it, dear. I like that name very much”, he then looked down at his newborn daughter, and said with a silly tone: “do ya wanna be named Sally, sweetie? Do ya?” The newborn giggled again, and reached her small hoof to his nuzzle when he leaned closer, bopping it. Then, she smiled at him, much like if she understood his words, and reached her both hooves to him. “She said yes, dear”, her mother said, and smiled at him with a loving glimpse. “Oh, I think she wants you to carry her.” “Not a problem”, he replied as he wrapped his hooves tenderly around her, and carried her, “she is one active filly, sweetie. She reminds me of you so much.” “She does?” She asked playfully and giggled, “it’s ‘cause I got a very, very lovin’ soon-to-be-husband coltfriend with me”, she held his hoof softly as she was speaking, “I’ve been so happy since we met, sweetie.” He held back her hoof in a tender manner as he was cradling softly the newborn. He laughed briefly and quietly, and then said: “I know. You’re just so happy, so cheerful, so wonderful”. He looked back at the newborn, and noticed she yawned, her eyes being half-opened. He smiled, kissed her forehead and then looked back at his marefriend. “She’s falling asleep now. You should do too.” “Okay”, she nodded and yawned much like the newborn did. Then, she closed her eyes, relaxing as she cuddled on the bed’s pillow. “G’night, my sweet Mort.” “Good night, my dear Sarah”, he leaned closer and kissed her cheek, “sleep well, my pretty princess”, he lastly said before she fell asleep, and he looked back at the newborn. He smirked, and spoke in a low, quiet tone, “you will indeed do great things, and be wonderful... And powerful”, he laughed quietly again, but this time with a glimpse of evilness, and he headed over the door while still holding the newborn.
