//------------------------------// // A new Princess is born // Story: Luna mother of Twilight Sparkle // by Ace Pony Stories //------------------------------// It was beginning to be night time. A dark blue alicorn had her horn lit. Her name was Luna, Princess Luna. She was performing her royal duty of raising the moon and bringing out the stars. “Tonight is beautiful don’t you think Night”, she asked her husband. Night Shadow chuckled, “Getting egotistical are we?” His wife shot him a look that screamed ‘oh shut up’. He rolled his eyes and walked over to her saying, “Yes it is. Any occasion? Cause you went all out.” Luna giggled and shook her head “No, I’m just good sense.” She said before looking down toward her bulging belly with a smile “Our baby will be here soon.” Hearing that a smile began to appear on the stallion’s face as well, with the reality of him being a father soon set in, “You know it’s almost time and we still have no ideas for names.” Luna turned towards her work, “We’ll think of something. But right now I have to perform my other duty.” She said stepping forward a bit Night nodded “Ok, Night.” “Good Night.” The two shard a kiss before she lit her horn, a light surrounded and she disappeared After the light around her disappeared, she found herself in a familiar space, ‘the dreamscape’ looking around she saw bubbles that represented the dreams of the ponies of Equestria near and far, after seeing one in particular, a foal‘s dream, seeing the little pony running around with a mare the alicorn assumed was its mother and it made her think, “I can’t wait for that to be our beautiful child.” The alicorn looked around “Now to search for anypony needs help.” She thought Later Luna returned from her duty watching over the dreams “Well that’s all for tonight, I still have a few hours before Tia rises the sun.” She made her way to bed and had a peaceful if short sleep She awoke and stretched while letting out a slight sigh “LuLu, don’t you think you should sleep a little bit longer?” Night asked his wife “Morning to you too.” She replied snarkily The stallion rolled his eyes at the comment “You only got few hours of sleep.” “Four hours about how much I usually get nothing out of the ordinary. plus I’m hungry.” She said before leaving the room Night shook his head and sighed following his wife The couple made their way to the dining hall, “Good morning you two.” Celestia greeted “Morning, Tia.” Luna waved returning her sister’s greeting “Morning Celestia.” Night said The three sat down at the servants brought them their breakfast, “So Luna the foal is due any day now right.” The smaller alicorn nodded while chewing a piece of fruit Celestia closed her eyes in thought, “I do wonder what my niece or nephew will be like.” Luna also wondered this but as she was thinking something felt off the cushion of her felt wet once she realized it she started to panic “Well no matter what he or she is like we’ll all love them! right?” Night declared looking back and forth to the two alicorns With a smile as bright as her sun, Celestia nodded. Luna still looking down snapped her head up, “Rig-AHHHHH!” Luna screamed at a sudden pain Celestia and Night Shadow whipped their heads towards her, “Luna what’s wrong!” They both yelled in panic “Th-th-ARG” was all she could manage “Luna honey what is it!” Night ran over to his wife. He put on her belly and another behind her head, after a second he felt something hit his hoof on his wife’s belly, then it hit him like a brick the baby was kicking, “Doctor!” He shouted suddenly “Wh-what,” Celestia said confused not understanding “The baby is coming get a Doctor now!” Night ordered Celestia although still in shock, nodded and ran faster than she ever thought she could telling a few guards to help Night get Luna back to their room As his wife lay there the stallion rubbed her hoof with his own, “It’s ok you’re going to be ok.” He murmured soothingly “OK, OK!? YOU’RE NOT THE ONE FEELING LIKE YOU’RE BEING TORN APART FROM THE INSIDE OUT!” Luna ranted ​“Mood swings and the Royal Canterlot Voice, not a good combination Night thought A second later Celestia nearly burst into the room with a light brown stallion, “Ok I got the doctor how is she?!” She asked frantically “I’M ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH WHAT IN TARTARUS DO YOU THINK!?” The younger sister shouted still in the Royal Canterlot Voice The doctor approached two ponies by the bed, “Ok, your highness we need you to stay calm.” The doctor said in a professional manner Luna was about to react when she felt a hoof on her left turning she realized her older sister was right beside her, “Don’t worry Luna, Night and I will be right here through the whole delivery.” Celestia said in a tone more akin to a mother than sister Having both by her side had calmed her down the slightest bit but her contractions kept causing her to slip into the Royal Canterlot Voice “Come on Luna push.” Night said “Arrrrg!” Luna grunted After an hour and a half of Night and Celestia telling Luna to push over and over along with Luna saying “NIGHT SHADOW I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” As well as her almost breaking Night and Celestia’s hooves from squeezing them too hard “Come on!” Night and Celestia said in unison “Ahhhh-“ Luna nearly screamed before hearing a high pitch and loud cry “Congratulations your highness it’s a filly!” The doctor said “Ah l-let me see her!” Luna requested The doctor gave the new mother her foal which had now stopped crying. What caught her eye was the foals purple coat and tiny horn, “A unicorn. S-she’s beautiful don’t you think Night, Tia?” The Pegasus and alicorn looked at each other, “Has she noticed yet?” Night whispered “I don’t think she has,” Celestia answered, also whispering Despite their whispers, Luna was able to hear them, “’Has she noticed yet?’ Noticed what?.” She thought looking down at her daughter “is it something about you?” after that her thought process was cut off by her hoof feeling something she hadn’t noticed particularly on both sides of her foal’s waist it was a feeling she was very familiar with it was feathers The purple foal let out a small yawn and opened her eyes looking up, “Hello there my little one welcome to the world.” Luna whispered Celestia tapped Luna on the shoulder, “Luna I know you’re happy, we all are, but there’s something you sh-“ Luna interrupted her elder sister saying, “ I know she’s an alicorn.” “Have either of heard of a baby alicorn before?” Night questioned Both alicorn sisters shook their heads Night looked at his daughter and smiled as she glanced around,”Well I think that just makes her even more special!” The sisters looked at each other and nodded saying, “Agreed!” The three ponies just stared down at the newest addition to their family before Celestia realized something “So hate to break up the happy moment but what are we going to call the dear, LuLu?” Night’s eyes widened but before he could panic Luna said, “Don’t worry I thought of two possible names last night while performing my duty of watching over dreams, one if the foal was a colt and one if it was a filly.” “What was your idea for a colt?” Celestia asked curiously “Dusk Shine,” Luna answered simply Her husband and sister nodded “And for a filly?” Night asked Luna smiled as she turned her head from her husband to daughter, “Twilight Sparkle.” The foal smiled and giggled “Ha Ha, I think she likes it.” Celestia smiled All Luna could do was smile at that moment it was settled the foal would be named Twilight Sparkle. Being the daughter of one the Royal Pony Sisters news of Princess Twilight Sparkle’s birth spread all across Equestria, whether they were an Earth Pony, a Pegasus, or Unicorn everypony had one thing in common they all loved their newest Princess.
