Tempest's New Life

by Omegawolfben


First Patrol

Tempest woke up the next day as she rolled over and out of bed stretching and cracking some bones as she walked over to her amour putting it on ready for her first day of patrolling Ponyville and keeping it safe.

She had just finished putting the amour on and making sure it was comfortable as she heard somepony knock on her door making her smirk and run a hoof over her mane and horn knowing for a fact it would be Twilight.

"Morning Twilight don't tell me you've been..."

Before Tempest could say another word she heard a foal crying as she looked down seeing a crying infant foal on her door step making her look to both sides of her house and walk out checking to see if anypony was around there wasn't.

Tempest was about to lock up her house and leave till she heard the foal cry loudly making her sigh and look up to the sky.

"Why me I-I don't know how to look after a foal!"

Tempest looked over to the foal her horn sparking as she growled at it sparking.

"Hey! No sparking near a foal"

Tempest picked the foal up in one of her hooves seeing him stop crying as bad as she tilted her head at the foal thinking of what to do with it.

"Is it a boy or Boy' definitely boy"

Tempest looked away shivering before checking he wasn't hurt or anything hearing him laugh slightly as she walked back into her house and grabbed a quill and some paper to write a quick note.

"Hopefully the mail mare isn't too far away and she can get this to Twilight and the others before I get to the castle"

Tempest suddenly heard flapping outside as she ran outside seeing Derpy at her mail box as Tempest skidded next to the pegasus.

"Please can you get this to the mane 6 now it is a emergency!"

Tempest said frantically as Derpy immediately took off without the notes before flying back and taking them making Tempest sigh and look down at the now quite foal.

"Well little one didn't expect you to show up but I am not a monster lets go see my Marefriend and her friends maybe they can help"

At the castle all of the mane 6 had just arrived getting the notes from Derpy.

"Twi do you have any idea what's happening ?"

Applejack asked getting a shake from Twilight but before she could answer they heard a foal crying and looked behind them seeing Tempest stop running trying to calm the foal down as the girls ran over to Tempest and the foal in her hoof.

"Tempest what happened who's foal is that"

Twilight asked looking at her and the foal as she took him in her magic looking at him.

"I seriously don't know Twilight he was left on my doorstep before I started my patrol and I got no idea what to do I never dealt with foals before so hoped one of you six would have a idea"

Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy all walked over to Twilight and the foal looking after younger sisters or animals had its Benefits sometimes.

"Who in Equestria would leave a poor infant foal on its own that's just horrible!"

Rarity cried seeing the foal reaching for Tempest who backed up shaking her head.

"He seems to like you sugercube"

Applejack said as Twilight walked to Tempest and let her take him in her hoof again as he held her muzzle seeing her horn spark making him laugh.

"Oh no no you don't little one I'm not mother material no way I am a solider not a house mom"

Tempest said as the five mares looked at Twilight and Tempest with the foal.

"Erm you two do look cute with him"

"Yeah Fluttershys right he fits in with you both like he was your own"

The two mares just looked at them in shock at what they where saying.

"Girls I'm a Princess I have too many duties to commit too plus me and Tempest have only just started dating we don't have time for a foal or family"

Twilight stuttered as Rainbow tilted her head and rolled her eyes at the two.

"If I recall Princess Cadance has a foal and she is fine"

"Yes Rainbow but Shining and Cadance planned for a baby we haven't"

"Well looks like ya both got no choice unless you want to take him to the orphanage"

Applejack said making Twilight look at the foal and smile letting him hold onto her hoof before looking at Tempest with puppy dog eyes.

"For Celestias sake Twilight really with those eyes we can't handle him I-I don't I"

Tempest was clearly scared maybe for the first time since she lost her horn as everypony present put there hooves on her smiling.

"Tempest you won't be in this alone you got us all my family will help and so will the princesses please"

Twilight begged as she looked at the foal snuggling into Tempests chest falling asleep happily.

"Twilight seriously who will look after him I'll be on duty half the time and your a princess so you'll be gone on royal duties or busy researching"

Twilight looked down hating the face that Tempest made some valid points as there friends walked up behind them.
"I'm sure ma family wouldn't mind looking after him for a few hours if you two are busy"

"Yeah and I can fly over ponyville in 10 seconds flat if you need to do a quick patrol also"

As the others chimed in as well saying how they could help also making Twilight smile and hug her friends before looking back at Tempest Shadow.

"Okay fair enough but Twilight he is still blind and once he see's me how..."

Tempest closed her eyes her scar fully forming and her horn sparking once more.

"How could he ever love me or think of me as his mother"

Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash all looked at each and Twilight before Twilight stood strong and put her hoof on Tempests close to their new son.

"You'll be his mother Tempest and so will I he will love you heck he was left with you and from what Derpy told me he found your sparking horn fun so don't say you won't be good enough cause you got me and your friends supporting you every step of the way"

This made Tempest smile and give Twilight a soft kiss holding their son but still uneasy about raising him as Fluttershy shyly asked a question everyone was woundering.

"Erm what are you two going to call him and who is he going to live with ?"

Fluttershy asked making all the mares fire off names and Twilight thinking of which home would be best for him as Tempest looked up to the six mares.

"Lunar Shadow"
