Celestia and Luna planned a modest double wedding within hours after the declaration of war, and Summer and Arrow and Neoma and Silver were married that same night.  There were no dresses, no flowers, no cake, no mile-long guest list; only Celestia, Sombra, Luna, Phoebus, Neoma, Silver, Summer, Arrow, Cassie, Silver's parents, and Arrow’s parents were in attendance.  The ceremony and reception were extremely short, and then the two newlywed couples ran off to soak up their first--and possibly last--few days together as husband and wife.  
Neoma and Silver spent the next three days in Neoma’s bedchamber, voluntarily sequestered from the rest of the world, focusing only on each other's happiness and growing in intimacy.  On the last night before he was due to leave, as she lay on her husband’s chest, Neoma looked up at Silver.
"Are you scared?" she asked after a long while. 
"Hmm."  Silver's body vibrated with a low chuckle.  "Of death?  No.  Of not being with you?  Terrified."  He dropped a soft kiss on her forehead.  
"Well, are you scared of being a father?" Neoma asked, turning to face him.
"No, are you kidding?  I've always wanted to be a dad."  Silver's face lit up.  "Why do you ask?"  Neoma took a deep breath as she felt her lips curve upward, and she allowed a soft, knowing smile to cross her face.  Her smile stayed as Silver's eyes met hers, and his mouth fell open.
"Sweetie, are you pregnant?" he gasped.  Tears of joy filled Neoma’s eyes as she nodded.  "Are you sure?" he asked, a giant smile crossing his face.  She nodded again, and he picked her up and spun her around, kissing her sweetly. 
"We're having a foal," she whispered, looking up into his eyes, "so you'd better come home to me.  Our foal needs their daddy, and I need my Silver Shield."
