A Dazzling New Life

4. A Dazzling Cry

It was the next day since Sunset had told her friends about the Dazzlings. Celestia had called in a doctor's appointment for 2:00 pm that day. Sunset had just finished getting herself and the Dazzlings ready for the doctors. As she headed downstairs she saw Celestia getting the babies supplies for the visit. Sunset decided to help by getting the babies in their carriers with their stuffed animals.

"Ah Sunset, are you ready to go to the doctor?" asked Celestia.

"Yes Celestia, I got the babies right here with me as well." said Sunset with the baby carrier and the babies in the carrier in her hands.

"Perfect, now come on we don't want to be late." said Celestia as she started walking out of the house.

Sunset nodded her head as she picked up the Dazzling's carrier and headed to the car. Celestia started up the car and they then headed their way to the hospital. The babies not knowing what or where they were going and not knowing what was about to happen to them merely played with their toys. After a twenty-minute drive, they finally got to the hospital. Sunset and Celestia got out of the and took the babies' stuff with them. As they got to the front office they saw the assistant at the front desk.

"Excuse me we have an appointment for 2:00." said Celestia.

"Ah yes, I have you written down for 2:00 come this way with me." said the assistant.

As Sunset and Celestia followed the assistant they saw many rooms with other people in there. After a while of walking, they finally got to a room where they stopped in front of.

"Just come in here and wait for the doctor to come in, so they can give your babies their shots." said the assistant.

Sunset and Celestia walked into the room and waited for the doctor to come in. They didn't have to wait long until the doctor finally came in. The doctor was Ms. Redheart a very nice, young woman who many people liked for her kindness to others. As Ms. Redheart walked in she noticed Celestia, Sunset, and the three little baby Dazzlings in their carrier playing with their stuffed animals.

"Hello, I hope I didn't keep you waiting?" asked Ms. Redheart.

"Not at all, we just got here a few seconds ago." said Celestia.

"That's good, so I see you are here to get your three little babies their shots," said Ms. Redheart.

"Yes we are and may I ask you how many shots are they going to get today?" asked Celestia.

"Each one will only get one shot for today. So which one of your babies is going to go first today?" asked Ms. Redheart.

"I don't think it really matters, any order will be fine." said Sunset.

"I guess that's what we're going to do then." said Celestia.

Ms. Redheart nodded her head as she got the supplies to give the Dazzlings their shots. Sunset picked up Adagio and put her on the table. Ms. Redheart had gotten into position to give Adagio her shot, she started to wipe Adagio's bicep and with one fast swipe, the needle was in and out of Adagio's bicep. At first, Adagio didn't do anything she just stopped at first, Sunset was worried something had happened until Adagio started to cry. Celestia got up and got Adagio and started to rock her in her arms.

"Shh, it's ok your fine, please stop crying." said Celestia with a motherly approach.

Ms. Redheart started to get the second shot ready as Sunset went to put Aria on the table. Just like Adagio, Sunset put Aria on the table and Ms. Redheart put the needle in Aria's bicep and then took it out. Almost immediately Aria started to cry. This time Sunset got up and got Aria and started to rock her in her arms as well.

"It's ok Aria, you're stronger than this." said Sunset.

Finally, it was time for Sonata to get her shot. At this time Adagio had fallen asleep and Celestia put her in the carrier and got Sonata. Celestia put Sonata on the table and just like the first two Ms. Redheart put the needle in Sonata's bicep. At first Sunset and Celestia thought Sonata wasn't going to cry the others but then her eyes started to fill up with tears in the eyes. Then the worst was yet to come, the dam broke, Sonata started to cry her eyes out, the poor girl was in a lot of pain. Sunset got up to take Sonata, but this time she wiped Sonata's tears off her face.

"It's ok Sonata, you'll be just fine, you're a big girl please stop crying Sonata." said Sunset as she tried making the crying girl feel better.

After that when Sunset said that Sonata, stopped crying? It was as if Sonata knew what Sunset was telling her to do so she listened and stopped. Aria had fallen asleep and was also in the carrier as well. Sunset decided to get Sonata's bunny and give it to her, after she gave Sonata's bunny, Sunset then put Sonata in the carrier with Adagio and Aria.

"Thank you very much, Ms. Redheart" said Celestia.

"It's no problem, Celestia, I'm just doing my job have a good day you two." said Ms. Redheart.

Sunset picked up the carrier while Celestia opened the door for her. As they headed their way out Sunset was starting to think about the Dazzling's life and what would happen. She decided to ask Celestia an important question regarding the Dazzlings.

"Hey Celestia do you know what school the Dazzlings will go to school for elementary school?" asked Sunset.

"Well I'm thinking they could go to Rockhill or Landford," said Celestia. "Both of those schools are very good and both have a very good background. Then when they get older they can go to CHS as you did so you can help them and I can watch over them."

"Seems like you already know what to do with the Dazzlings." said Sunset.

"Guess so, but you must always think of the future for your kids, that's a parent's responsibility after all." said Celestia.

Sunset thought about what Celestia had said. She didn't even know much about being a mother. She was worried that when the Dazzlings grew up they wouldn't like Sunset, or that Sunset wouldn't be a good mother. Sunset didn't say much for the rest of the day after what Celestia had. Celestia knowing what Sunset was thinking about decided to help Sunset by giving her some motherly advice about being a parent.

"Sunset you know a good bit of advice, I want you to know that to be a good parent you have to have confidence." said Celestia in a motherly tone.

Sunset was surprised she was so worried about how the Dazzlings would act when they know her, she forgot that she should have confidence in herself. She knew Celestia was right you didn't just have to love and help your kids to be good parents, parents do those things all the time but they were only able to do that if they had confidence in their capabilities. Sunset smiled Celestia always knew how to make her better when she was down, she was like that ever since she took in Sunset as her own.

"You always know how to make me feel better, mother." said Sunset.

Now it was Celestia's turn to be surprised. Sunset normally only called her Celestia, Sunset calling Celestia mother was a rare thing. Sunset had only called Celestia "mother" maybe about five times since those two years Celestia had taken her in.

"Well it is my responsibility to make sure my kids are happy." said Celestia.

Sunset was glad that Celestia had token her those two years ago. Sunset had learned a lot from Celestia and how to be a good parent. She just hoped she could be a good parent to the Dazzlings just like Celestia and help teach the Dazzlings all the things she ever learned. Starting now Sunset promised herself that she will have full confidence in her to be the best parent ever to those girls.

"And I'm glad to be your kid." said Sunset with a smile.

Sunset and Celestia both looked at each other. They were thinking the same thing. They would both make sure that those Dazzlings will have a better life with Sunset just like they wanted to.
