The next morning, Screwball was the first to awaken. She smiled happily as she quietly hopped out of the bed and glanced over at her parents. They really did seem to be happy. They were both smiling in their sleep after all. Maybe they were dreaming of each other perhaps?
Screwball let the thought slip out of her head as she opened the bedroom door to come face to face with the two guards that had been stationed outside of the door that night by Shining.
"Good morning, miss. Are Twilight and Discord awake yet?" one asked.
"Mommy and Daddy are still asleep. Do they need to be awake now?" Screwball asked.
"Not yet. The Captain will inform us when they need to be awaken."
"Alrighty then! Do you have the time?" Screwball asked.
"Yes, it is just past seven." the guard replied. "Breakfast is in less then an hour."
"Thank you!" Screwball smiled. "Here's a little present for you!"
Screwball closed the door behind her as the two guards were momentarily drenched on by chocolate milk rain before it disappeared after a moment.
At the closing of the bedroom door, Twilight opened her eyes to see Screwball walking towards them. She gave Screwball a small smile before looking at her husband. He seemed to be in a rather peaceful dream as he was smiling happily.
She still couldn't believe that she was married and pregnant. She never would have thought anything like this would ever happen, maybe perhaps in storybooks, let alone real life.
Twilight climbed out of bed and walked over to Screwball. "Good morning, Screwball. Did you sleep well?"
"I slept great, Mommy!" Screwball spoke in an excited whisper. "I bet Daddy and you slept great too!"
"Well, I slept alright. I'm worried about today. Princess Celestia and I have much to discuss."
"You'll be alright, Mommy! I know you will!" Screwball spoke when there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" she sang aloud.
"It's Princess Celestia. Is Twilight awake? I wish to speak with her right away." came the reply.
Twilight walked over to the door and opened it with her magic. "Yes, Princess? You need to talk to me?"
"I do. In private please." Celestia informed her.
Twilight nodded as she walked out of the room and closed the bedroom door behind her. Celestia led Twilight door a corridor that led them both to Celestia's chambers. They walked inside as several guards gathered around the door entrance as Celestia closed it to ensure the conversation would remain private.
"Please, take a seat. Care for some peppermint tea this early morning?" Celestia offered.
"Yes please." Twilight smiled as Celestia levitated a cup filled with tea towards her.
"Twilight," Celestia spoke as she took a sip of tea. ", I was up most of last night thinking about just how to make up everything that I caused to both you and Discord, but any idea I thought of, it seemed it was never good enough. But out of nowhere, I got a wonderful idea and wonder if you would like to hear it, my student."
"I would love to hear it." Twilight smiled.
"I began to think how you went and married Discord. When you got married, did you have an actual ceremony?"
"Well, it wasn't a proper ceremony with guests witnessing the marriage. We had a priest that simply went directly to the 'I do's.' at the courthouse."
"I see. Didn't you want a proper ceremony when you got married at all?"
"I did but yesterday we were in hiding and couldn't exactly inform you to where the marriage was."
"I was thinking if you would like to have a proper ceremony instead of the little one you had yesterday."
"You mean, with everypony there? Friends, family?"
"Yes, my student. I don't know what else I can offer you to make amends with you and Discord, so perhaps this can be a start."
"Everything seems to be going so quickly." Twilight said as she placed a hoof to her head in an attempt to keep her mind from spinning.
"Are you alright, Twilight?" Celestia asked in slight panic.
Twilight gave her head a quick shake which caused the cup she was holding to wiggle slightly as well. "I'm fine, princess. A lot of events happened yesterday and now you're offering to give me an actual wedding ceremony."
"If you don't want to do it, you don't have to. We can settle on something else perhaps." Celestia said as she took another sip of tea.
"Actually, I do like the idea of a proper wedding ceremony. I was sad that I couldn't have Shining or Cadence participate in my own wedding like I had done with theirs. After all, I did help save it."
"Indeed you did save their marriage. So, are we going to have a second wedding in the castle?" Celestia asked with a hopeful smile.
"I'd love too have one as long as all friends and family will attend."
"Of course and I will oversee the marriage if that's alright."
"Actually, could Luna oversee the wedding too? She never really got to see Cadence's and Shining's wedding since she was under tight security that day while she was sleeping."
"To do that, the wedding would have to be held at night, when Luna is most active. Would that be alright by you?"
"A wedding under the stars? That's such a romantic setting. Perhaps in the courtyard, among the plants that are already in full bloom."
"An outdoor evening wedding sounds lovely. Luna would be happy to oversee something like that and so would I. A second wedding is on, correct?"
"Well..." Twilight spoke unsure. "I have to talk to Discord first. I don't know how he'll react to this."
"Well, this would be the both of yours wedding. Knowing him, he'd would like the wedding to be more chaotic then a regular wedding." Celestia laughed.
"He'd probably make sure that the environment is chaotic enough for the wedding." Twilight giggled. "He also make sure I'm chaotic looking for the wedding as well. Poor Rarity, she would have a heart attack if he decided how my wedding gown would look."
"Speaking of Rarity, I was thinking that your friends could help with preparations as well. They did such a wonderful job last time and since you are their friend, they would make your wedding extra special."
"I wouldn't want nothing more to have my friends help in the preparations. I could tell last night that Rarity seemed disappointed that she couldn't design me a wedding gown."
"Perhaps this time she can." Celestia smiled. "I should let you get back to your new husband and let you discuss this with him. I hope I can get your response at breakfast. You have little over half an hour until then."
"I'll try to have one, Princess." Twilight smiled as she sipped the last of her tea and left Celestia's chambers.
Twilight walked up the corridor back towards her own bedroom. She opened up the bedroom door and walked to Discord, who had awoken not too long ago.
"And where in Chaos were you? Eying Celestia?" he joked.
"No, I was talking to her, thank you. I came back here to talk to you what she proposed to me." Twilight informed.
"She proposed to you?" he asked in mock hurt. "I thought you loved me!"
"Discord." she sighed in annoyance. "That's not what I meant. She and discussed a way that she can repay us for what she did that night in Cloudsdale."
"And that would be...?" Discord asked in boredom.
"She proposed that she could give us a proper wedding ceremony at the castle, with my friends, family, and her and Luna to attend."
"We're already married, my dear. Why do we need to have another ceremony? We had a quick one just yesterday back in Manehattan."
"Discord, let me tell you something. When we were in Canterlot last and you proposed to me, I saw us at a proper wedding with my friends and family all there and happy for us. The ceremony in Manehattan was alright, but it was definitely lacking."
"Ok and if we have this little 'proper' wedding of yours, is it going to be a normal and boring wedding?"
Twilight let out a small laugh. "Are you kidding me? When you have a wedding with the God of Chaos as the groom, do you expect it to be a normal wedding?"
"Good point. All weddings do need to be more...chaotic and I'm just the creature to do so." Discord said with a slight evil laugh.
"Exactly. The wedding would be at nighttime in the courtyard, so you can make it a bit more chaotic if you'd like, but don't end up turning the Castle upside down or anything like that!" Twilight warned.
"I could do plenty of things to make the wedding more to my taste...and not have to bother turning the castle upside down. I don't think Tia would be too happy if I flipped over her home now."
"So, are we going to have this wedding?" Twilight asked.
"I guess. At least with my touch of magic, it'll be somewhat interesting." he smiled.
"Wonderful!" Twilight smiled. "Screwball, come here!"
Through the window flew in Screwball, who had been flying around outside and messing with the guards a little bit. "Yes, Mommy?"
"We're going to have a second wedding right here at Canterlot Castle!" Twilight smiled at her new daughter.
"That's wonderful, Mommy! But, why another?" Screwball asked with a tilt of her head.
"I never got a proper wedding with you as the only witness, Screwball. My friends and family never got a chance to witness my marriage and now they will. Also, you can be one of my bridesmaids." Twilight spoke happily.
"That sounds like fun! A bridesmaid helps the bride, correct?" asked Screwball as she tilted her head the other direction.
"That's correct, Screwy." Twilight smiled as there was a knock at the door.
"Twilight Sparkle, breakfast is going to be served in ten minutes. I recommend you all start heading down there." a guard called from the other side of the door.
"Thank you, sir." Twilight spoke towards the guard before turning her attention back to her newly formed family. "Care for breakfast?"
---------------------------------------------------
The three arrived down in the dining room where just her friends and the princesses were sitting at the table happily waiting for them to arrive. They all took their place as Rainbow Dash was the first to speak up and break the silence.
"So, Twilight. You're married now, right?" Rainbow asked.
"Yup. We just married yesterday but I wish you all could have been there."
"I would have love to have helped with your ceremony, dearly, but alas, you never told us where you and Discord were hiding away all this time." Rarity spoke.
"Since we're no longer hiding, we were actually in Manehattan." said Twilight.
"Manehattan?" Rarity questioned with her mouth hung open slightly. "Did you see any interesting fashions while you were over there?"
"Not really, their fashion is similar to Canterlot. Nothing special." said Twilight.
"Oh. I thought maybe you saw something that could perhaps help me design the next 'in' item!"
"Speaking of designing things," spoke Celestia. ",did you and Discord decide on my idea?"
"He agreed, Princess, as long as he could make it more chaotic, naturally." Twilight laughed.
"Splendid!" Celestia smiled. "It seems we're going to be having another wedding here at the castle soon!"
"A wedding? Who's?" asked Rainbow.
"Mine and Discord's." said Twilight. "I wish you could have all been there at the little ceremony I had in Manehattan, but alas, you couldn't be there."
"So I recommended that she have a proper wedding here. The only thing that will be different is that you and Discord won't be signing a second marriage certificate."
"Your wedding, Twilight dear?" Rarity asked. "Will we be able to help?"
"Naturally. If you all could stay in Canterlot for a few days, we could have this wedding up ASAP." Celestia smiled.
"Does that mean I get to design you a bridal gown Twilight dear?" Rarity asked with excitement.
"I wouldn't want it any other way. Could you possibly create something for Discord too or is that too much of a challenge?"
"I can accept any fashion challenge!" Rarity said boldly. "I can make him a tux that is befitting of a chaotic being and still looks fabulous!"
"What, now I have no say in what I wear to my own second wedding?" Discord asked in mock annoyance.
"You do, but I want you to look as nice as possible and give Rarity a chance to design something since she-" Twilight spoke before she felt gas wanting to come out of her. But instead of a noise, bubbles came out of her mouth, which left the others in confusion.
"What the hay? Did you just burp up bubbles?" Rainbow Dash asked in mad confusion.
"I guess your child is a little bored, isn't it, Twilight dear?" Discord smiled.
"C-Child?" Applejack stuttered. "A-Are you pregnant, Twilight?"
"I would have told you all last night but yes, I am pregnant." Twilight smiled sheepishly.
"You're p-pregnant? That's quite a s-shock..." Rarity muttered out before fainting out of her chair. Luckily, Rainbow caught her before she actually hit the floor.
"When did this happen?" asked Fluttershy.
"I found out just yesterday. It should have been obvious after the rather chaotic effects I was having in the past few weeks."
"Well, I'm happy for you, sweetie." Fluttershy smiled. "A baby can bring you so much happiness. And I can help you and Discord if either of you need help at all during the pregnancy and after the baby is born."
"Thanks for the offer, Fluttershy. I'll keep it in mind." Twilight smiled.
"I can't believe you're gonna have a foal, Twilight! This is so exciting!" Pinkie Pie bounced out of her seat excitedly. "Auntie Pinkie Pie will help you! I'll play with them and make them laugh whenever they're sad!"
"I know you will, Pinkie. I know you will."
"If you ever need anything, Pinkie Pie is just a shout away!" Pinkie smiled proudly.
"Ok then. Hey, where are Shining Armor and the rest of the family? I thought they would want to hear this exciting news." Twilight questioned.
"Oh, Cadence told me that she and the family were getting something for you and Discord and weren't going to make it to breakfast. She also wanted me to ask you if you and Discord wanted to join her and Shining at the Lunarian Theater after breakfast. She said to not worry about being formal." Celestia said.
"I'd love too and Discord could use some culture in his rather chaotic life." Twilight laughed.
"Going to the theater?" Rarity said as she was now over the shock. "I hope the play is not too much for you. Don't want to effect the poor baby now."
"I'll be fine. Are we ever going to start eating breakfast or what?" Twilight smiled.
"Of course and here it is now!" Celestia smiled.
"Also, Discord, before you and Twilight head out, can I take your measurements? I need to know exactly what kind of tuxedo I'm going to be making." Rarity asked she swallowed her eggs. "It won't take too long. I already have an idea what I'm going to design. You two are going to be so lovely together!"
"Of course you can, Rarity." Twilight said as she placed a hoof on Discord's mouth before he could say anything.
"Another wedding. This shall be glorious." smiled Luna from across the table.
