So you're about to be a father with a Sun-Goddess.

Basically a suggestion to a thing that NEVER happens in a HIE, at 3 in the morning, because that's when these things happen.

It’s been four months since Celestia’s pregnancy started, only another seven to go (If only ponies had nine like Humans).

Things could be going better, Celestia’s getting nightmares about the foal and other things, I’m really worried about her and I wonder if I should ask Luna for help on that one. The Nobles are irritable like usual but let’s be honest, when have they not? And besides, they hate my guts for taking the ultimate prize of Princess Celestia, but she’s not a prize to be won.

The foal’s weight is definitely showing on Celestia, she can’t fly or teleport too much and she has to lay off the cake (didn’t stop her from trying and forcing Luna and I to protect the fridge at all costs) much to her anguish. I can tell the foal is weighted on Celestia’s mind at least as much as it does on mine.

Cadence drops in every once in a while, she has experience with Alicorn pregnancy and besides, Celestia basically made her life the way it is, I think she feels she could repay her with being there for Celestia while she’s pregnant. Hey, that’s not the only reason, Cadence and Celestia do care for each other, and it’s nice to see her every so often, and I know Twilight likes seeing her, Cadence is basically an older sister to her.

As for the public? Yeah, still on fire after that announcement, mothers in particular expressed congratulations, I didn’t even get a good job or anything, rude. The press were having talks about the foals because quite frankly they have nothing better to do, a villain hasn’t attack in eight months and it’s starting to become a worry that one is plotting somewhere because the usual rate is five months at the very most. Nobles were putting on their masks like usual, I know they hate my guts even more but they dare try make a move like what Noble Grudge did, I think Celestia and Luna would vaporize all of them and I don’t think I could stop them.

Where does this leave me? Being the worrying mess. Seriously, you think that just because Celestia is bearing the weight and is basically the “prime” ruler of this place as ponies call it, means that I don’t have responsibilities and worries? I have plenty, the foal, trying to make myself out as a pretty decent guy and approachable, not having the sense of some impending doom happen, worrying about my wife, worrying about literally everything I care about. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY! Take a deep breath as Cadence says…in….out…okay, sorry about that.

It’s hard not worrying, so I take walks around the castle, at 3 in the morning, I’m sure Celestia won’t notice, I hope her dreams are good while I’m gone, I wrote a note just in case.


The gardens are always a nice place to sit and relax, even when Discord’s been a statue here. Now I never been her when he was a statue but I did hear he has a really tiny influence, can’t move or anything of the sort but some sort of chaotic influence. But even now, I just find this peaceful, the way the Sun and Moon shine on this place, the gardens themselves. Heh, I could see pre-Equestria me laughing at me now, thinking I’d never leave technology behind.

“You seem to like these gardens, Jason” A voice I haven’t heard in a while says from behind me.

It’s Celestia’s parents, wonder what they are up to?

“Hi, mother and father-in law” I say.

“Oh, now that’s just awkward I would say, dear boy. Just call me Space and my wife Time, it’s what we are best known as” Celestia’s father says.

“Fair enough, so what are you up to?” I ask them curiously.

“To see you, we notice you seem to come to these gardens a fair amount and we were kind of curious as to why” Time explains their reasons.

“That’s all?” I ask nervously.

“Jason, I understand a parent-in-law conversation is usually awkward but we just want to help you as you have helped us, that’s not all, you’ve made our daughter happy and for that we will be eternally grateful, but you seem to be not as happy, you look worried a lot” Space adds.

“Truth is, I am worried. About Celestia, about the foal, about everything, I keep telling myself don’t worry so much but I can’t help but do it” I explain.

“You have a heart if you're worrying like myself when Time had Celestia and Luna, but worrying isn’t healthy, and I sense there’s more, say about your old home” Space says the magic words.

Old home? Earth? What does he know? How does he know?

“What do you mean? Tell me at once!” I demanded impatiently.

“What my husband means and myself by extension, is that you have left your old home without any sort of closure. What if I told you that as the Alicorn of Space, my husband could send you to your old world to give closure” Time proposes

“What?!” I blurted.

“This is something well within my power and I’ve been there a few times, as repayment and to help you, we want to help you give closure on that chapter on your life” Space adds.

“It’s tempting, but I’ve been gone too long, a guy showing up after several years is going to cause all sorts of questions, and I’m not sure if they’ll recognize me” I referred to my family.

“I can take us back to the point you left the Earth with my power” Time says.

“I…the offer is really tempting but…I need time to think about it, could you give me a day or two to think about it?” I asked of them.

I eyed them with curiousity, a chance to go home? Explain things, enjoy Earth one last time? It’s an offer of a lifetime, and it would close the guilty thoughts there. Can I really do this? I’m not sure…

“Give it time, contact us when you make a decision, just remember, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to” Space says
“I guess I will” I say to them.

I walked off, I went back to bed but I couldn’t sleep, it seemed too good to be true. A few years ago I would have killed for the chance to go back home, before I met Rainbow Dash and had her as my best friend over here, now, I know my heart and place is here in Equestria alongside my wife and I’d never abandon her, I gave up on hoping for a way home and here’s one all these years later.

No, I’m not doing this to live back on Earth again, I’m doing this for my family, they have a right to know, they have an opportunity to know I am alive and well, I think I want to do it.

But…I don’t think I can do this alone, I don’t think I can tell them that I’ll be gone forever but alive, maybe Celestia can come with me?

I need to sleep on it…
