Cadence put down the photo album containing the picture of the sleeping foals. “Oh that’s such a cute story.” She said in a sweet voice.  Shining blushed a bit as he looked back at the photo, the memories from that night were as vivid as ever. Orion and Dazzle sat across from them. “What time do you think Twilight is going to arrive, she should have been here almost an hour ago” Dazzle said. “Well it is a long ride all the way from Ponyville.” Orion said rubbing his wife’s back. Dazzle let out a little giggle as he rubbed as did he. Shining sighed and facehoofed  as his parent cuddled on the couch right in front in front of him. Cadence smiled, she loved the sight of love. “Um, mom dad why exactly did you call us all to come here?” Shining asked.

“Is it too much to ask to see your kids?” Orion asked. “Well no.” Shining said back as he looked down.  Cadence spoke up. “I think what Shining is trying to say is, is there a reason in particularly that you wanted us all to be present. “Actually yes, we do.” Dazzle said. “but he aren’t saying anything until all our children are present.” Shining sighed once again and poured himself a drink.

Within the hour a knock was heard at the door. Shining quickly moved over door and opened it. On the other side of the door was a purple unicorn mare. “Shining!” she yelled and she jumped on him and knocked him to the ground. The two got up and went to the living room to join everyone else. Upon entering, Cadence walked up and hugged Twilight. “Sunshine, Sunshine ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and give a little shake!” The two mares said as they did their dance. At last Twilight had reached her parent and gathered them both in a hug. “Mom dad.” Twilight said. “I was so happy that you invited me for dinner.” Twilight said. 

Everyone sat down at the table for dinner. Shining took a bottle of Sparkling Cider and started pouring it into everyone’s glass. When he got to Dazzle’s glass, she had declined. Everypony sat back down and began to eat. “This is delicious,” Twilight said. As she ate her food. Dazzle had eaten rather quickly. Suddenly he remembered Shining. “Umm mom and dad, are you going to tell us the news you wanted to tell us.  Dazzle suddenly grabbed her husband’s hoof and swallowed. “I’m pregnant.” Dazzle said smiling. Twilight, Shining and Cadence suddenly stopped eating. “But you two are in your early fifties.” Twilight said. “Only on the outside.” Orion said kissing his wife. Twilight slowly opened her mouth and spoke.  “So I’m going to have a new LSBBF or a new LBBBF.” She said getting a little excited. “Yup,” Dazzle said. Twilight and Cadence walked over and hugged her. Slowly Shining also went over and joined in them in the hug. “Our family going to get even bigger.” Cadence said.

Later that night Orion and Dazzle laid together in bed. “Are you ready to go through this all over again?” Orion said as he rubbed her belly.  “Kinda, I’m really nervous believe it or not.” Dazzle said. She reached over and pulled something from her bedside dresser. “What is that?” Orion asked. “Hold out your hoof.” Dazzle demanded. She pulled out a small blade and poked his hoof. “Ouch he said as he grabbed his hoof and placed it in his mouth.  “Hehe, I told you if you got me pregnant again that I would cut you.” Dazzle said with a giggle. “I love you Orion.” “I love you too Dazzle.”
