As she was waking up, she felt sick. She felt a massive headache, one that she knew but was something she has not felt in decades. Magic exhaust. But she also felt sick, a sickness she has never felt before. She was opening her eyes, only to close them again as the light in the room was too much for even her. She tried again only to squirm a little as the light assaulted her eyes. She blinked, trying to refocus on the light in the room. She was in a haze, her eyes unfocused. She tried to blink to regain her focus, but she was in such a daze that it was hard to see longer than her muzzle. Laying her head back into the pillow, and closed her eyes. Even though she could see that well, she could tell that she was in the hospital. Why she was there, she did not know. Trying to regain her senses, she opened her eyes again. This time she could see a little clearer. She was trying to collect her thoughts. She tries to remember why she would be her. Then she remembers the book and the light that engulfed her. 'one of the guards must have heard me scream' she thought to herself.  As she tried to process what had happened and why she felt sick, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. In the door stood a unicorn stallion with a light brownish coat and an orange mane. He was looking at some papers he held in his magic while walking into the room.  "Doctor," the princess said, startling the stallion a little "what happened to me," she asked, looking up at the doctor. The doctor smiled at the princess, "Nothing serious, princess, you and your foal are in perfect health," the doctor said The solar princess let out a sigh, but then she realized what the doctor just said. 'f-foal, did he just say foal?'  "Did I hear you right, doctor? Did you say just say foal?" she asked, looking the doctor in the eyes. He still smiled. "Yes, your majesty, the little filly is in her late-stage. We may see her in the next two months," he said with a joyish tone. "I am delightful to say that the little princess is healthy." "But how?" the princess asked, "we alicorn can't, or should not be able to become pregnant," she said to the doctor. "Well, princess... all I can say is you a pregnant with a 6-month-old foal."  "Well, now I know why I feel sick, at least," she said, placing her head back down on the pillow, releasing her breath that she did not know she was holding. "Ah yes, morning sickness." said the doctor. "I am sorry, doctor. What is your name."  "Healing Horn, princess."  "I thank you, doctor Horn." "Just doing my job, as well as I now know this delightful news, of course, I will keep it a secret." Celestia smiled at the doctor. turning her head, she stared out the window and thought to herself. 'I am pregnant with a filly, what delightful news indeed' she thought to her self, smiling at the news, but the smile dropped as she began to think about her sister, 'oh luna I wish you were here to hear this. Oh, how you would love to hold the little thing' the thought did make her smile a little, but she still had sadness in her eyes, but that changes fast. She now has what she wished for, a family, though it was not exactly what she meant. It was just as great a thing as she always wanted to have a child. She has a long time ago tried to conceive, but it was just impossible for an alicorn. Even if they could, it was never written down. Her train of thought was interrupted by a familiar sensation. 'guess it is time to raise the sun, that also explains how long I have been asleep.' she started to get out of bed, but having a little hard time in doing so as the new wait of her belly. Finally getting on her hooves with help from the doctor, she began walking towards the window. Now standing in front of it, looking out, she began channeling her magic in her horn. Her horn started to glow golden, and after a little while, you could see the sunrise. With that out of the way, she walked back to the bed. Now back in bed smiling happily at the news, she calmed her nerves, and a new feeling was taking place on her shoulders, but this was lighter than some of the once she had before, it was pleasant, but she knew it was going to be a lot of work in the near future. "Doctor, can you call some of the servants here. I could, really use something to eat,"  "Oh, of course, your majesty," said the doctor, who later walked out of the room. Now Celestia was alone in the room, lying in bed. She was happy. She did not have to wait that long, as the door to the room opened, and in came a maid, behind the maid was a little pink alicorn, that after laying eyes on Celestia. Starting to run up to the solar princess, screaming, "Aunty! aunty Celestia, are you ok?" the little pink alicorn said with worry in her voice. "Hello Cadance, yes, I am in perfect health. It is just a combination of Magic exhaust and morning sickness, nothing serious," said Celestia in a calm and motherly tone, trying to calm the little alicorn.  The pink alicorn calmed down and smiled at Celestia, but then it changes to that of confusion. "Morning sickness? But isn't that only for ponies that are pregnant?" asked Cadance, still vary much confused. "Yes, it is. You learn well in school, I see." The pink alicorn blushed a little, looking down at the floor, "but that would mean –" she tried to say, but Celestia cut her off. "Yes, Cadance, I am now with a foal," Celestia said with a happy tone and a big smile. Cadance was surprised by what her aunt just said, but it changed to a big smile. She started to jump around screaming.  "I will have a cousin, I will have a cousin, I will have a cous-" she cut her self off  "wait, is it a filly or a colt, what is her or his name gonna be, oh I can't wait to be able to play and have fun and-" she was cut off as she heard Celestia laughing. "Hehe, Please calm down, my niece." "Eh, oh, sorry, was just happy." "that is ok I am happy too. To answer your questions, it is a filly, but I have not thought about a name yet."  She put her hoof to her chin and started to think of a name. Cadance did the same. They both were in deep thought when Cadance screamed out, "Aha! I have an idea. Since you rise the sun, you could call her Delight, as she also makes us both happy." Celestia thought about that. It was a good name. She then thought back to the book that started this 'Creativity starts with one wish' she thought, she also made a mental note to look at the book again. "Creative Delight," Celestia said. For her, it felt so right to call the still unborn filly that. "Yes, Creative Delight is going to be her name," said Celestia with a proud and happy tone. Cadance then looked at Celestia's belly and smiled. "Hello, Creative Delight, I can't wait to meet, my name is Mi Amore Cadenza, but you can just call me Cadance." said the little pink alicorn with a giggle. Celestia smiled. It has been a long time since she has been this Happy. Now all she can wait for is her little Creative Delight.
