	Several days after the dinner party, Orion and Dazzle heard a knocking at the door. Dazzle was sleeping on the couch and Orion had gone to answer the door. Orion had opened the door to see Cadence and Shining standing in the doorway. “Well son this is a pleasant surprise.” Orion said inviting his son and daughter-in-law into the house. “Your mother and I were expecting to see you and Cadence at the dinner party.” Orion said. Cadence blushed and Shining smiled. “Sorry, Orion me and Shining were a little too preoccupied with each other.” Cadence said rubbing Shining’s back. “So your mother and I might not be the only one expecting a foal.” Orion said. “Oh so Twilly might be having a foal?” Shining said. Orion and Cadence started laughing. “Not Twilight, us silly.” Cadence said. “Oh right, foals come from, right.” Shining said woozily. “You okay son?” Orion said looking at Shining. “Oh yeah, I just thought about possibility of becoming a dad.” Shining said. “Does being a dad scare you?” Cadence said. “A little to be honest.” Shining said. “Believe me son that’s perfectly fine, I mean I’m 54 and I’m still nervous about the birth of the foal.” Orion said. “Really?” Shining said. “I really am, still doesn’t mean I’m not excited.” Orion said. “That’s true, I am nervous about it but I would love to be a dad.” Shining said. “It’s funny that you say that because I’m…” Cadence was saying before she was interrupted by a knocking at the door. “Hold that thought Cadence.” Orion said as he got up and walked toward the door. He opened it and stepped back. “I’m here for that kiss.” Christina said walking into the house. “What the hell are you doing here?” Orion said.  “I already told you, I’m here for my kiss.” Christina said as she puckered her lips and approached him.  Orion quickly grabbed a book and put it between him and her lips. Christina planted a wet kiss on the book. “Get out of my house or I’m gonna shove this where the sun don’t shine.” Orion yelled. “Um, kinky alright I’ll play along.” Christina said turning around and exposing her plot hole.” Orion drooled a little. “What is going on here?” Dazzle yelled said from behind them. “Oh nothing, Orion and I were just having a little fun.” Christina said with a smirk on her face. “Is this true.” Dazzle said with tears in her eyes. “No she is lying.” Orion said. Dazzle started crying and ran down the hallway. “Dazzle come back, please.” Orion yelled. “Shining and Cadence walked in to see Christina. “Can’t you just leave our family alone and stay the hell away from us?” Shining yelled.  “You should talk to you dad, he can’t stay away from my plot.” Christina said with a giggle. Cadence stepped forward and slapped her across the face. “Ever come my family again and I’ll kill you bitch!” Cadence said. Christina ran off crying. “That was awesome.” Shining said. “Yeah well I’m full of surprises.” Cadence said wrapping a hoof around Shining. “Do you wanna hear another?” “Sure.” Shining said. “Cadence leaned in and whispered into his ear. Shining fainted and fell to the floor. “He took it better than I thought.” Cadence said with a giggle. 
Dazzle laid on her bed and cried her eyes out. Orion slowly walked into the room. “Baby It’s really not what It sounds like.” Orion said. “Well what am I supposed to believe?” Dazzle said rolling over with the tears in her eyes. “She is just trying to screw with us, she is just mad because of you stood up to her on her show.” Orion said.  “So nothing happened between you two?” Dazzle said. “Of course not I would never do that to you and the kids.” Orion said hugging his wife. “Okay.” Dazzle said as she returned the hug. Cadence walked in carrying Shining over her back. “Are you two okay?” Cadence asked. “Much better now.” Dazzle said. “What happened to Shining?” Orion asked. Cadence smiled and spoke “I’ll told him one of my secrets.” “And that was?” Orion said. “That she’s pregnant.”  Shining mumbled. 

It had been a little over a month since anyone had heard from Christina. Dazzle, Twilight and Cadence once again were once again shopping for things for the foal. “I’m going to be a big sister and an aunt.” Twilight said. “You certainly lucky Twilight.” Cadence said. “But are you planning on adding mother to that list?” Twilight blushed. “I wouldn’t mind being one but I have yup to find the right stallion.” Twilight said with a frown. “Oh don’t worry honey I’m sure you will.” Dazzle said. Twilight sighed. “Thanks mom.” Twilight said sarcastically. The three mares continued to walk around the shops. “I’m hungry you wanna, snack?” Dazzle said.  “Sure.” Twilight and Cadence said as they followed her. Dazzle walked up to the counter and ordered. “Excuse me, I would like a blueberry muffin and a chocolate milk.” “Sure thing dear.” The mare at the counter said. She looked up and Dazzle. “Oh my gosh your Dazzle.” She said. Dazzle was confused. “I’m sorry do I know you?” Dazzle said. “No but I read about you in the paper, and I supported you since the beginning.” The mare said. “Oh that nice to know that someone approved of the foal.” Dazzle said. “That’s why I was so said to hear about the scandal.” The mare said. “What scandal?” Dazzle said. “The scandal where you’re husband had an affair.” The mare said sympathetically. “What!” Dazzle screamed. Twilight and Cadence were quickly at her side. “What happened?” Twilight said. “What did you say to her?” Cadence said. “Oh are you gonna beat me up too?” The mare said. “What, why would I beat you up?”  Cadence said. The mare handed her a newspaper. The three mares looked at the front page and gasped. “Orion came onto me, and Princess Cadence beat me up to try and silence me. Christina Clydesdale says all.” “That bitch!” the three yelled simultaneously. Dazzle grabbed a knife from the table and walked the exit. “Mom where are you going?” Twilight said concerned. “I’m going to cut that…..AWWWW!” Dazzle said as she fell to the ground. Twilight and Cadence looked to see a large puddle that seemed to amass from between Dazzle’s legs.” “Oh my god, the foal is coming.” Dazzle said as she grabbed her belly and cried out in pain. “I’m gonna go find Orion and Shining.” Cadence said as she spread her wings and took off into the air. “Twilight please get me to the hospital.” Dazzle said. Twilight picked her up and walked her through the street. “Don’t worry mom, I won’t let anything happen you or the foal.” Twilight said walking off with her mom.
