Eight and a half months later...
Twilight was finding her duties getting harder and harder at the school. She knew that her daughter would be coming soon, and she had to find some helpers. While Flurry Heart was visiting, Twilight asked if she could step in.
"I would be more than happy to take your place in magic class. I will keep your lessons strong, and the students will not get bored with what I can do.", Flurry replied.
While looking for someone to step in as headmaster, Neighsay stepped in.
"You know how well I am with discipline and regulations. Regardless of how the school runs, I will carry out all protocols as long as necessary. As a side-note, the EEA book listed maternity leaves as an exception for leaving. So, I am very willing to fill in for you.
Twilight thereby gave them a run-down of the procedure.
The next morning, Twilight gave an announcement to the school.
"I know this may come to shock you, but I will have to leave the school soon. I am going to be having a baby. While I am out, I have found two volunteers to take my place. My niece, Flurry Heart, is stepping in to substitute for my class. Neighsay has volunteered to fill in as headmaster during my leave. I know you will do great during this time, and you will not miss anything. Flurry is EXTREMELY talented at magic, and will do spectacular lessons for you. Neighsay is a pro at regulations and discipline, so he will do well in my place."
The students were ready for this experience, and they wished Twilight the best.

During the next few weeks, Flurry Heart would take care of her aunt as she continued through her contractions. Twilight knew that she would be in a ton of pain, so she took the necessary medications. She knew the magical day was coming, but she was not sure when.
