"A unicorn colt", said the doctor

"What?  But I wanted a sister", said Hope

"Im sorry sweetie, we can try again", suggested Rarity

"No, it's fine", said Hope in a sad tone

They left the doctor's.  During the next couple of months, Hope has fallen into deep depression.  One day, she was sitting in her room, until she heard Rarity scream.  So she ran to her mother's room, and saw Rarity holding her stomach wincing in pain.

"Mother, what's wrong?", asked Hope

"THE FOAL IS COMING", yelled Rarity

"I'll go get Father", said Hope running out the door

A couple minutes later, Trenderhoof came in and carried Rarity on his back.

"C'mon guys let's go", said Magnum

"Oh no you don't, your staying here with your sister", said Trend

"But who's gonna watch us?", asked Hope

"Your favorite aunt", answered Sweetie Belle coming in the door

"AUNT SWEETIE BELLE", said Magnum running up to her

"You guys can go, I'll take it from here", assured Sweetie Belle

"Thanks again Sweetie Belle", said Trend walking out the door

Sweetie Belle turned around and saw a depressed Hope.

"What's wrong with your sister?", asked Sweetie Belle

"She's depressed that the foal is gonna be a colt instead of a filly", explained Magnum

"Oh I see.  Look Hope, I know you want a sister but you have two brothers, as great as one sister", said Sweetie Belle hugging her

"Your right Aunt Sweetie Belle, Magnum may be a pain in the flank", said Hope

"HEY", yelled Magnum

"But I still love him, and I'll love my new brother just the same", said Hope hugging Magnum

"That's great, now let's do some fun things your mother would never let you do", said Sweetie Belle

"YAY", cheered the twins

Over the next couple of hours, the three of them did everything they can think of, until the phone rang.  Sweetie Belle walked over to it and answered it.  When she was done, she ran over to the twins.

"You kids ready to see your new brother?", asked Sweetie Belle

"YEAH", cheered the twins

The three of them walked to the hospital and saw Rarity holding a purple unicorn foal with a pink mane.

"So this is my new little brother", said Hope nuzzling

"Actually, it's a filly", said Rarity

"Sister?  You mean it's a filly?", asked Hope

"That's right", said Rarity

"But I thought the doctor said it was gonna be a colt", said Magnum

"I guess the doctor read the tests wrong", said Trend

"So, what's her name?", asked Sweetie Belle

"Gemstone Shimmer", said Rarity

"Can I hold her?", asked Hope

"Sure darling, here", said Rarity handing her Gemstone

"Hi Gemstone, Im Hope Diamond, your big sister, but you can call me Hope", said Hope

"Im so glad she got her birthday present", said Trend kissing Rarity

"Me too darling", replied Rarity
