Spike awoke before Discord & crept into their study & wrote a quick note to his adoptive mother.
Big life changing decision crept up on me, need advice again can you port over?
Spike quickly burned up the note & sprayed air freshener to dispel the smell of smoke & ash as if he was a teenager trying to keep his family from discovering that they were smoking. Which is what he felt like as he was trying not to awaken his husband with the smell. He received a reply telling him she would meet him in the throne room on the telepad. The telepad was invented by Twilight & was installed in the throne rooms of Canterlot Castle & the Chimerical Palace as well as the Crystal Palace. To those that knew the correct spell (Discord, Twilight, Luna, Celestia, Cadence & Shining Armor) it was a means of fast teleportation to any of the locations with one without using much magic. They could also be shut off by each ruler if need be.
Spike made his way to the circle of magical arrays that merely looked like a floor decoration to the unaware & waited for his mother to appear. The circle activated creating a pillar of light that touched an identical circle on the ceiling & Twilight stepped out with a smile. Spike opened his mouth to speak but was immediately interrupted by a huggy purple blur.
"Spike! What's wrong? You're never awake this early anymore!" Said the worried lavender alicorn.
"Nothing is wrong... per-say. I just need some input about a really big question's answer... would I be a good father?" Spike asked after a slight pause. Twilight was wide eyed & open mouthed & seemed incapable of moving at all. This continued until Spike poked her in the cheek making sure she wasn't a statue. This awoke her from her comatose state & switched to full on panic.
"You're only 26! I'm only 32! I can't be a grandma! You should have used protection! I gave you that talk when you were 15! Where did I go wrong?!" She stated sobbing on the floor in front of him.
"Mom, Discord is male & I am not ever discussing our sex life with you, please snap out of it." He said pleadingly.
"Wh- oh, right. Don't scare me like that!" She said with a red face.
"Discord has a spell that can make us an actual genetic offspring, I like the idea of having a kid but I'm not sure I'd be a good parent. I don't even know what a dad is supposed to do." Spike said hanging his head slightly.
"Spike, gender specific roles aren't really applicable in this day & age. You just need to love a child & teach it what it needs to know & make sure it's needs are met until it can become independent. I may have freaked out on you a minute ago but I wouldn't mind being a grandma, & the girls & I will always support you two." Twilight said composing herself & entering mother mode.
"You're right, I was just over thinking things again, I can still be a foal sometimes. I wonder what our child will look like? Would it be a chimera too?" Spike more thought aloud than spoke.
"I have no idea, I did research on ancient myths that matched up with a lot of stuff Discord told me & it seems like everyone in his family was completely different from one another. Though several seemed to be chimeras or giant powerful animals." Twilight said offering what little input she could.
"Well I guess it doesn't matter, I know we'll love it all the same. Thanks for the advice mom." Spike said as he scooped up the much smaller pony into a hug. A cough was heard from behind them, Discord was standing there with a look of joy upon his face. He ran up to his family & joined the hug for he had heard Spike's discussion with Twilight. All was well between the happy couple as they stood there. Twilight ended the embrace as she was getting crushed by the larger figures, she said her goodbyes & asked to be informed when the child was to be born so she could bring the girls to see it. As soon as she was gone the kings shared a kiss & began the day's work, they found it hard to concentrate as they had more important things on their minds. After the day's tasks were completed the two began planning for the child. they would have it at the end of the month giving them time to set up a room in their personal section of the palace & take care of anything else that they would need. A letter was sent to Twilight that night telling her to ready the elements for travel on the 30th to see the miracle happen.
