Twilight smiled as she watched Star Chaser waddling around the entry-room on unsteady legs.
"He's fast for a little colt! Maybe we can have a race someday!" Rainbow Dash cheered on the little stumbling foal.
"Rainbow Dash." Twilight said flatly.
"What! I didn't say I was gonna race him right now! When he's older!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"Oh he's so super duper cute! I can't believe you're gonna be a mama!" Pinkie exclaimed and shook Twilight in a tight hug.
The little colt tottled forward and grabbed Pinkie's tail in his mouth, then began to chew on it.
"Oh that's not for eating!" Pinkie exclaimed. "I know it looks like cotton candy, but it's not, Auntie Pinkie Pie is not for eating!"
"Pipi." He babbled.
Pinkie inhaled sharply.
"Did you hear that?" She exclaimed. "He said my name! He said my name in baby language!"
She squeezed Twilight in an even tighter hug.
"Ow, Pinkie, release." Twilight gasped.
"Sorry." Pinkie answered dropping her alicorn friend. "I just can't believe you're gonna be a mama!"
"Mama!" Star Chaser exclaimed.
The mares went silent and stared at Star Chaser.
"What did he just say?" Twilight asked, staring at her foal with wide eyes.
"Ohmigosh! He said mama! Which is like mommy! But in baby talk!" Pinkie bounced around the room. "First word! First word! First word!"
"I can-I can't believe it." Twilight said gently and scooped up Star Chaser.
"Did you say mama? Huh little Star?" Twilight asked as she began to cry tears of joy.
"Mama!" He exclaimed and giggled as he flew through the air in Twilight's arms.
"Oh you did! You did! Oh my goodness." She pulled Star Chaser in to a tight hug and nuzzled him. The foal nuzzled back in response and hugged her muzzle.
"I'm gonna officially be your mama as soon as the mail gets here, would you like that?" She asked.
"Mama!" Star Chaser exclaimed.
"I don't care how often you say that now, it's not going to get annoying." Twilight giggled.
"You're a mama! I can't believe it!" Pinkie Pie cheered.
"I can't really believe it myself Pinkie, I think I may have lost my mind. But look at those adorable big eyes! Who could say no to that!" Twilight exclaimed. "Especially now that he called me mama!"
"Mail!" Pinkie screamed and bolted for the castle mailbox.
"Is it here?" Twilight asked.
"It's here! It's here it's here it's here!" She exclaimed giving Twilight the letter and bouncing all around. "Ohmigosh, Twilight's gonna be a mommy!"
"I'm already a mommy." Twilight answered.
"Yeah but officially." Pinkie cheered.
"Took long enough for Celestia to send over everything." Twilight sighed. "Though... she did say adoption wasn't her area..."
"Ma!" Star Chaser exclaimed and tugged on Twilight's tail.
"Ow! Star Chaser! We don't pull tails!" Twilight scolded.
"Mama." He repeated.
"That's not an excuse to pull tails, don't you pull that cuteness on me!" Twilight teased and then scooped her colt into her forelegs. "Now, you are going to be nice and secure while mama signs papers, okay?"
"Ma.." He answered.
"I swear, there's like fifty signature places!" Twilight sighed and flipped through the papers, signing wherever was highlighted.
She reached the final paper and line and grinned.
"One more to go girls." She smiled.
"Oh sign it dear! Be Star's mama for real!" Rarity exclaimed.
"I'm already his mama for real!" Twilight argued. "This is just legality."
"Oh you know what I meant." Rarity huffed.
"3.....2....... SIGNED!" Pinkie cheered and blasted her party cannon.
