This story is a sequel to These Dreams

Twilight and Discord flee to Manehattan for a short while to hide from Celestia who wants to put them under a sleeping spell. But soon, Screwball, Discord's daughter comes along and joins them in hiding but this isn't the strangest thing. After being sick a few weeks, Twilight soon discovers that she's pregnant!

Their time in Manehattan is cut short when Twilight receives a letter from Celestia informing her and the new family to come back to Canterlot so she can formally apologize to them. They head back to Canterlot, unknown that a green unicorn is following them back, determined to get rid of Discord and will stop at nothing, even if it means harming Twilight and Screwball, to get rid of him forever.

*SEQUEL NOW OUT!* You can find it on my profile.

Twilight Sparkle has been sleeping more and more ever since her friends resealed Discord after he managed to escape from his stone imprisonment. Before he had been freed the second time, he was sending dreams to Twilight being romantic as the God of chaos possibly could be. He is able to charm her and make her fall in love with him.

Now that he's been resealed, Twilight has been sleeping so much just so she can see him again in her dreams. She is told by Nightmare Moon in her dreams (in the form of a riddle) that she can free Discord if she figures out the answer to the riddle. If she manages to break him free, what will her friends or family think about the two lovebirds being together? Could they become an out and about couple or would they have to stay secret lovers instead?

This is also my first FIM story, so please bear with me on this...

Prequel To These Dreams and Renew.

Twilight begins having weird dreams after returning home from the wedding of her brother and new sister-in-law. Her dreams seem to be having a connection with Discord in them. What exactly is going on here and why is she having dreams related to him? And is she feeling regret having him to be trapped in stone for eternity?

It will become DISCOLIGHT soon.

When she married Discord, the lack of a normal life that was planned out day by day was aware to her. After half a year of marriage, a year of dating before then, she was used to it...almost. When her husband suddenly drops the news of his pregnancy, it was more than obvious to her that it would never be normal.

Twilight now fights to try to raise a draconequus hybrid which is outcast ed by society as well as a legal battle to try to keep not only Discord's citizen ship, but his right as their daughter's father. She was definitely not expecting this when she gave up her sanity.

Sad Tag: Due to the nature of the story (Social out casting and Custody Battles) the Sad tag is used to warn these.

Sex Tag: Twilight and Discord are married, you don't expect them to get frisky?

Language: Slut and Whore will pop up occasionally and used against Twilight. Be aware this is not to offend anyone, but to give a feeling of what is currently happening to the family at this moment in time.

Other notes: Will Penumbra get laid? Spoilers (I guess?) she will. But, I obviously will have her and the other of age for obvious legal reasons. I don't need FBI on my ass, thank you.

Now with an audio drama produced by truesailorcomet, as well as TVTropes page!

Princess Luna takes on a Night Apprentice, her counterpart to Princess Celestia's Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle. Nova Shine, a wandering unicorn from Canterlot, is given the position for the first time in a thousand years. What neither of them know is that there exists a long and secret history between the positions of the Faithful Student, the Night Apprentice, and a mysterious shadow that seems to keep popping up in Nova's and Twilight's dreams. This shadow, whatever it is, and the dreams it appears in do not bode well, but the Princesses remain tight-lipped about these nightmares.

Nova and Twilight agree to investigate the nightmares themselves, and this mission occupies them for some time. But as they continue their search, their relationship starts to develop into something more than just fellow students. As if to make matters any more chaotic, Trixie Lulamoon arrives on Twilight's doorstep announcing that she, too, has been dealing with nightmare problems.

Finally, there's also the shadow itself. An ancient and dangerous enemy, it has lain dormant for the last thousand or so years. Why it chooses to reveal itself now is anyone's best guess, but unless Twilight and Nova can stop it, there's no telling what will happen to Equestria...
