//------------------------------// // Always a Gouda Time // Story: The Marriage of Princess Twilight Sparkle // by Prismfire Productions //------------------------------// -Ponyville General Hospital- To this day, nopony knew how it had happened, and most did not want to know. Everyone of Twilight's family members and friends; including the princesses, Discord, and Starlight, were fidgeting in their seats. They had gathered all after Twilight had sent a mass letter out to them that her water had broke, and everypony rushed as soon as they could to her. Despite the anxious atmosphere of the waiting room, one individual was relaxing in his seat patiently waiting for the nurse to come in. His hardened looks had not changed a bit since his wedding 7 months prior, which everypony swore on their souls that Twi had slowed his aging processes to the minimum. After what felt like an eternity, Nurse Redheart came in from the delievery room. "Before I get swarmed..." The nurse said in a tone that made everypony, even the princesses, slide back into their seats. "Twilight is very exausted from the heavy labor and delivery, but I am glad to report both she and the foals are in perfect health." Everypony's jaws dropped, even Discord himself could not believe his ears. Even with all the chaos he had caused over the years, this was a curveball he never expected. Sure, the fact he had a daughter with Fluttershy caused a big stink, and Screwball had caused even bigger ones to the point Discord nearly sued Canterlot's diaper company for false advertising. "Did you say foals ...as in more than one?" The former Lord of Chaos asked, he was so shocked he quit floating and sat down in a chair himself. "Yes," Redheart replied with a kind smile. "in fact, Twilight had three foals." Before anyone in the room could faint from the shocking news Spike came running down the hallway. "Nurse Redheart! Twilight wanted me to come and request that she see everyone who is here as soon as you allow it." "So soon after delivery?" Redheart asked with a quizzical raised eyebrow. He sighed. "She took a sip of double expresso from Barebucks. That gave her enough of a boost to cast a self-replenishment spell, keep in mind this the same mare who solved one of Starswirl's unfinished spells." The nurse's glare sterned. "Who gave her the coffee?" "I did". Thorax said trotting down the hall. "Teleported it right to her after she had Spike send me a messege by dragonfire. I suggest you let the others in because a cranky Twi is a scary Twi...and I do not think this hospital is fireproof..." That killed the statement Redheart was going to say about rules and regulations in her throat. She knew Twi was a smart and levelheaded mare, and cared about everypony, but even she knew it was a bad idea to get on the Princess of Friendship's bad side. She had seen firsthoof what Twi can do when angered, and it was a sight that would haunt the poor nurse for the rest of her days. "You have a point there Prince Thorax..." Redheart finally conceded. "Spike, would you be so kind as to take them in?" The dragon smiled. "Of course I will, just follow me everyone." He lead them down the hall to the recovery room that Twilight currently occupied. When they got there, a sight presented itself that made them feel warm inside but also confused. Twilight was sitting up in her bed caressing a baby filly in her forehooves, the other two drinking from her teats. It was heartwarming to see Twilight in that state, a mare basking in the glow and joy of being a new mother. It was a feeling that Twilight Velvet and Cadance knew all too well, and it was a feeling they cherished even to this day. "Hello everyone," Twi said with a smile so bright Pinkie nodded in respect. "Come over to see my foals, but please be quiet as possible." They did as they were told and trotted over as quietly as they could. The unicorn filly being held in Twi's hooves was a soft white, assented by a few streaks of violet that outlined where her mane and tail was at. The thing that seemed odd was the fact there were tiny holes in her, similar to a changeling's. "This little cutie here is Alpen Stock." Twi said nuzzling the filly in question. "Before any of you ask, she appears to be made from swiss cheese, hence the holes, but to be clear she is not a changeling...that I know of..." She hoofed Alpen over to Twilight Velvet before bringing the next one up to be cuddled. The colt was also a unicorn and looked very similar to his "father", in fact, the only way you could tell that it was Twilight's foal was because of the fact he had the same eye color as his mother. A lovely yellow coat, with a red striped mane, tail, and bright red hooves were his other features. "Chedci here seems to be cheddar, and I done had to zap Thorax to keep him away from this little guy." Twi said with a glare at the aforementioned changeling. "Look I said I was sorry Twi..." Thorax said looking at the ground. "So who is the other little colt?" "This little Earth Pony is CJ...after all, he is Colby-Jack." Twi said stroking his back as he kept drinking from her teat. "Oh?" Celestia smirked. "We now have AJ and CJ, now we just need a-" Luna slapped her wing across Tia's muzzle to silence her. "Sister, there is a time and place for everything, but unless you were gonna say "DJ" I suggest you keep your muzzle shut around the young ones." "I kindly agree..." A male voice, one none of them recognized, said from behind them. They all nearly jumped out their fur when they turned and saw an Earth Pony stallion that could not be anypony but Gouda. He was tall, maybe beating out Big Mac by an inch or two, and had the muscles to match. Everyone just stared with their muzzles slack, and slightly drooling, as he trotted over to Twi. "So how did-..." Rainbow Dash stared to say but was cut off by her wife. "That is for another time and another story Dashie." Pinkie giggled before facing the far wall of the room. "It is up to you readers!"
