Rainbow Dash had arrived the night before and the bearers of the Elements of Harmony were reunited once more. It had almost felt like old times with all of her friends gathered together in one place. Still, she would be lying if she said she was completely content. There was sompeony she was definitely looking forward to seeing today. She wasn’t sure how much time she could actually spend with that pony, but she would do her best to be as near to her Princess as she could. The ceremony was going to start in about forty five minutes. The guests had begun arriving and already Sweet Apple Acres was bustling with ponies. Big Macintosh had just finished giving his sister a pep talk, and was now off to help Granny Smith. Applejack had wanted her brother to stand beside her as well as her sister, but it was decided that someone had to keep an eye on Granny. Since her hip replacement Granny had become quite spry and it was best that someone sit with her to make sure she didn’t get into trouble. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were admiring how awesome they looked in their tuxedos. They continued to dart from Applejack’s room to Rarity’s. Rarity had insisted it was bad luck for Applejack to see her before the wedding and so they had been separated. Their friends, wanting to support them both, had been switching rooms and taking turns. Fluttershy was putting the finishing touches on Rarity’s veil, while Rarity’s mother, Pearl, worked on her mane. Rarity was talking quickly and excitedly but Twilight was only half listening to what she was saying. Instead she craned her neck out the second story window, checking to see who was arriving. Her heart jumped in her chest as she recognized a royal chariot. It was her brother and Princess Cadence. She knew if they were here, then Luna and Celestia must be on their way as well. “Looking for somepony?” Rainbow Dash asked casually. Twilight was startled. Rainbow Dash had caught her off guard. Before she could reply, Dash’s attention was averted. “Hey there’s Spitfire and Soarin’!” She said excitedly. “Oh my gosh the headmistress is HUGE! She looks like she’s going to have that foal any minute now.” Rainbow Dash called Scootaloo over to the window to gawk at their pregnant headmistress. While the two mares giggled, Twilight decided to seek out some fresh air. As she made her way down the hall, she checked in on Applejack. “Everything okay in here? “ She called out. Applejack grinned and flashed Twilight the “hoofs up” sign. The purple unicorn was about to make her way downstairs when she turned and bumped into another familiar figure. She shook herself and looked up. “My dear Twilight, it’s been too long.” “Discord!” Twilight exclaimed, genuinely happy to see the draconequus. Twilight’s eyes shifted from Discord to what he had in his arms, or rather who. Discord was holding a small foal. The most adorable foal that Twilight had ever laid eyes upon. The draconequus was holding the infant so closely and so sweetly that Twilight had to smile. “Fatherhood looks good on you.” She stated. She grinned as the foal stretched his forelegs. Discord smiled back. The god of chaos had been reigned in and now was adjusting to the chaotic life of being a parent. Twilight could tell from the way Discord looked down upon his son that he was quite the proud father. “Have you seen my lovely wife?” Discord asked, looking past her. Twilight motioned to Rarity’s room and began tickling the foal with her hoof. He laughed happily at the attention and as his giggles became louder, his mother trotted into the hallway. “Oh my. I knew I heard my little darling laughing.” Fluttershy said, joining Twilight and Discord. Discord handed their son over to Fluttershy before embracing her. Twilight couldn’t help but think how sweet they looked together. An odd looking family to most, but a family filled with love. The lion Discord had fallen for his little lamb, Fluttershy. Twilight could remember when Fluttershy announced her pregnancy. Everyone, including Discord had been worried about what type of being she may be carrying. Fluttershy herself never worried once. She knew that her son had been conceived in love and therefore whatever form he took, she would love him no matter what. As it turned out he was born a normal, healthy, happy foal. His fur was yellow, like his mother, but his mane was a deep grey in color. Fluttershy made the mistake of letting Discord name their son, and so Gentle Chaos was the name he was given. Although Gentle Chaos was born of a pegasus pony, he was in fact a unicorn. They figured it must be because of Discord’s magical influence. Twilight watched the happy family for a few more moments, before she turned to leave. “C’mon you ponies we need to take our places.” Rainbow Dash yelled to Pinkie Pie and Apple Bloom. Pinkie Pie gave Applejack one last hug before she bounced into the hallway with Rainbow Dash. Apple Bloom whispered something to Sweetie Belle before she joined the others. Scootaloo followed Apple Bloom as she went to take her seat downstairs. Twilight shook her head and made her way back to Rarity’s room. It had begun. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Princess Luna stared intently at Twilight Sparkle. Twilight was standing at the altar along with Fluttershy and Sweetie Belle. Rarity’s father, Magnum, was walking her down the aisle. Luna knew she should be paying attention to the wedding itself, but she couldn’t get over how gorgeous her student looked. Twilight’s dress was magnificent, and suited her perfectly. Luna couldn’t stop looking. The light blush that crept across Twilight’s cheeks let her know that Twilight knew she was staring. The fact that Luna was so interested in the wedding was not lost on her sister. Celestia had attended many functions with Luna, and knew that Luna was not at all a fan of weddings. Yet, as she observed Luna now, her sister seemed absolutely engrossed in the wedding taking place before their eyes. Maybe her sister was finally growing up? Celestia shook her head. She was smarter than that. Something else was definitely going on and the Princess of the Sun was determined to find out what it was. Rarity was now holding Applejack’s hoofs and the minister pony was saying many words. Celestia continued to watch her sister. Luna’s eyes hadn’t moved from the one spot she was staring. Celestia followed her gaze and was not overly surprised to see Twilight Sparkle in her sister’s line of vision. From the way Twilight was blushing it seemed that she was aware she was being watched. Was there more to Twilight and Luna then just a student/teacher relationship? Celestia’s lips curved into a thin smile. Well whatever it was, it was keeping Luna quiet for the moment. Celestia turned her attention back to Rarity and Applejack. They were almost to the part where they were finally about to read their vows when suddenly a cry erupted from behind the Princess. “AHHHHHHHH---“ Everypony’s attention was averted as they looked towards the sound of the voice. It belonged to Spitfire. Her face was twisted in agony as she held her tummy with her hooves. “IT’S COMING!” she yelled and grabbed Soarin’s hoof. “Owwwwww.” He yelped, as his hoof was crushed. “Wait till you step on a Lego. Now that is pain.” Discord whispered, loud enough for everyone to hear. “Somepony help her.” Soarin’ yelled as ponies began to move out of their seats, giving the pregnant mare space. “Everypony calm down. Give them room.” Celestia said, as Nurse Redheart and Nurse Sweetheart made their way to where Spitfire was now laying. The nurses checked Spitfire out and exchanged glances. “This foal is on the way now.” Everypony gasped. “GET IT OUT OF ME!” Spitfire cried out. Soarin’ tried calming her down but Spitfire was in too much pain. The nurses began urging her to push and soon she was breathing heavily. Twilight took advantage of the moment and hurried up to Luna’s side. Luna looked down and did a double take as she noticed Twilight beside her. Twilight nuzzled her teacher closely, causing Luna to shiver excitedly. Everypony was either preoccupied with Spitfire or consoling Rarity. Rarity was trying to be supportive of Spitfire’s situation but everypony worried she thought her big day had been ruined. “Come with me.” Twilight whispered, grasping the opportunity. Luna nodded as Twilight’s horn glowed and suddenly they were transported inside the barn. Twilight felt a wing drape over her body, before she was pushed onto a hay stack. Luna descended upon her and their lips met passionately. The purple unicorn wasn’t sure what had come over her. The magnitude of Luna’s staring had made her all hot and bothered. She knew she should be out there helping Rarity. She knew she and Luna were supposed to be taking things slow. She also knew it was so incredibly wrong to have hauled Luna off to the barn in secret. None of these realizations stopped her from opening her lips when she felt Luna’s tongue pressing against them. Luna held Twilight down as she ravaged her lips. The two mares continued enjoying each other’s lips and mouths until Luna finally broke the kiss. Twilight let out a contented sigh as Luna rolled to the side. The Princess’ hoof began to stroke Twilight’s soft belly as she pushed it under the fabric of Twilight’s dress. She couldn’t help but think how good that dress would look crumpled up on the floor in her royal chambers. Luna gave the unicorn a crooked grin. “You were REALLY happy to see me.” Luna smirked. Twilight nodded her head as she caught her breath. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just couldn’t help myself. “ Luna smiled and pulled Twilight up to her hooves. She slowly began to dust the hay bits off of her companion’s dress. When she was satisfied, she gave Twilight a soft hug. “I wish we could stay like this, but we had better get back before we are discovered.” Twilight reluctantly agreed. They made their way to the barn doors and then slipped out, returning to the wedding. As they left another spark of magic was ignited and two more ponies appeared in the barn. “You sure nopony saw us?” Apple Bloom asked. “Shhhh.” Sweetie Belle shushed her marefriend with a kiss, her horn still glowing from the teleportation spell. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX As Twilight made her way back to the crowd she noticed right away that Spitfire was holding a small bundle in her hooves. Soarin’ had his hoof wrapped around his wife and his newborn and was looking quite proud. Everypony was giving their congratulations including Rarity. The newborn foal was a little mare. As Rarity stepped up to where Soarin’ and Spitfire were sitting, she suddenly began to cry. Applejack raced to her side to comfort her bride. “It’s goin’ ta be okay Rares. We can still have the weddin’.” Applejack consoled her. Rarity looked at her marefriend from under the tears and shook her head. “No darling, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not crying because I’m upset.” “You’re not?” Applejack asked. “You’re not?” echoed Pinkie Pie. “She’s not?” asked the crowd. Rarity shook her head. “I’m crying because...because...” The crowd waited with baited breath. “She’s so adorable and I WANT ONE!” Rarity balled, hugging Spitfire and her foal. Applejack’s face paled as everypony around them burst out in laughter. Celestia and Cadence were now talking to the minister and it seemed that everything was in order to proceed. Shining Armor noticed Luna and Twilight trotting side by side and couldn’t help but glare. Luna flashed him her most devious grin, while Twilight rushed ahead to greet her brother. Mayor Mare stepped onto the altar and made an official announcement that the wedding would resume in thirty minutes time. TO BE CONTINUED--- End chapter 9
