Her Child Of The Night

Royals new life

"Sister, this is a enormous responsibility, raising a child especially one like this." Princess Celestia told her with her usual serious, but loving tone. She was worried for Luna, having stress of raising a child even for Luna was making Celestia unsure. "Art thou saying we art not up for the task? We is capable of raising a child Dear Sister!" She was genuinely worried for Luna. The stress of raising a child was not something one would take lightly, even one such as Luna. "Art thou saying we art not up for the task? We art quite capable of raising a child, dear Sister!” Luna’s facial expression was one of annoyance, easily overcoming her sisters doubts surely. Luna had her mind set on raising Drake, and more than likely wasn't about to give in on the matter. And in the mind of Celestia, it became quite clear that it could be good for her, someone to care for and love, even if it is a child before a lover. She was quite lonely and this would probably brighten her mood. Maybe raising the child would show her responsibility. "Lulu... I'm not going to go against your decision. But, be careful, I'm not quite sure how our citizens would react to this. I am very glad that you would want to care for a child. However like I said, be warned Equestria hasn't seen a human for thousands of years. They attacked us before and I want you to love and care for this child like no other Luna." The apprehension on Celestia’s face was rather blunt and obvious.


Luna's' eyes sparked in glee. "Thank thee sister! We will always love him! We promise thee!" She instantly hugged Celestia nuzzling her. Celestia chuckled lightly nuzzling her back. "Have you thought of a name for the child?" She asked curiously. She had to know the name after all. "Drake.. his name shall be Drake." She responded smiling. It took her a little time but it was a suitable name after all. "Alright, Prince Drake Luna will be his name. You did the right thing of finding this child and caring for him." She said looking at the painted glass of the 'Mane 6'. "Thank thee sister, trust us! We art overly happy that thou agree with us.." Luna looked back focusing her eyes to seeing Twilight with Spike trotting down the hall, looked like in the middle of the conversation "Oh! Twilight! Spike! Tis' good to see both of thee awake and ready!" She called out galloping to them. Spike finished his sentence and glanced at Luna. "Oh! Good morning Princess Luna!" Spike said with a cheery smile.

"Twilight, Spike, we have something to show thou. Please do not be frightened." She motioned them to Luna's room. Spike and Twilight raised brows but Twilight followed her. "Luna.. What is going on? Are you finally going to tell me why you were acting so strange last night?" She asked with knitted brows, she was curious why Luna was so hyped up on the bottle incident.. Something HAD to be up. "Please Twilight. Please do not be frightened and use your inside vocals.." She warned slowly opening the door with her magic, to show a sleeping little Drake. His eyes closed in a deep slumber.. But he could been easily woken at a notices moment. Twilight's eyes widened as she look at the night mare.. A human.. The first once since thousands of years. "W-What is that? I-Is that..?" She asked whispering like Luna told her. "Yes..Tis a human foal.. Though.. He is adorable and harmless." Twilight was very curious now. Why would Princess Luna bring in a human foal? Even since she knew that Equestria was attacked by these before.

"Where did you find him? There never has been a human in Equestria.. Well.. Ever since thousands of years!" "We know. He was in a alleyway near a corner of a Ring store.. He looked so skinny and dirty. We do not know how long he was there." Twilight gave a more sympathetic look. Maybe it was the right decision. He didn't deserve to be alone and freeze out in the night. It was horrible to find a foal just abandoned out in a dirty alleyway. "Oh my. That's horrible.. Finding a poor child in those conditions.. You did the right thing Luna.. No worries." Twilight said re-assuring her. Twilight now knew she would do anything to protect Drake. "But...My biggest question is... How did he get here? Celestia sealed off Equestria from any other creature getting in." Twilight said. "We know. Thy question is the same as our mind asked." She replied, trotting in the room, carefully hopping onto the bed, cuddling with Drake. "What's his name?" Spike asked with his head tilted, tip toeing in to not awake the sleeping child. "Drake.. His name is Drake.."

Twilight grinned trotting in with Luna as well, Getting a better look at him. "He is so precious. Like an angel foal." Twilight cooed looking at him. He didn't seem harmful or dangerous.. Besides.. Luna could raise this human to be a loving and friendly colt like no other. In her mind, she could just imagine him being the next Prince of the night. Spike sat near Luna, looking closely at Drake. "So, are you going to take care of him Princess?" Spike asked Luna with a curious smile.. It was going to be so much fun to show him all kinds of stuff he could do. She nodded slowly, Looking back at the baby dragon. "He is now our son.We will always love the little one.." Luna gave a tender, gentle kiss on Drake's forehead. "I love you little Drake. Never forget." She whispered in his ear as the sun beamed through the glass windows onto the bed sheet. "WHAT IS THIS AUNTIE LUNA!? YOU BRING A FOUL CREATURE INTO OUR CASTLE AND THINK YOU CAN CLAIM HIM?!" A loud shout came from the door way waking Drake up instantly making him cry.. It was rich whited furred Prince Blueblood.. the Nephew of Celestia and Luna. "Blueblood! You just woke up the child!" Twilight said gritting her teeth in anger. Twilight wasn't fond of Blueblood in anyway.

Blueblood pampered his fixed mane and trotted in. "And of anyhow should I care for the little disgusting thing?" Luna was now enraged. "THOU WILL SILENCE THY TONGUE BLUEBLOOD!" She shouted using her Canterlot voice. Making Drake cry louder. Although she regretted it now, she may have just found this child but she knew she loved him unlike his old parents. She licked his tears with her cold, wet tongue. "Shhh.. Sweetie.. WE are sorry we had to do that.." She said nuzzling Drake. "This is unbelievable Auntie Luna.. You bring a foul creature into our castle. What if he becomes are threat to OUR citizens!?" "That shall not happen Blueblood. Now, take thy leave before we get very angry." She threatened as he huffed. "Very well.. Do not cry to me when I warned you." He said flicking his mane and trotted out. "Ugh! That Blueblood I swear!" Twilight groaned, sighing as she went up to Drake. "Shhh. The meanie stallion is gone now sweetie." She cooed to Drake, making him giggle a bit. "He is soooo cute!" Twilight quietly squealed. Luna smiled with Spike stroking Drake's forehead with his purple claw. He was now loved by Celestia, Spike, and now Twilight. She was thankful of everything that has happened to her so far.

"S-So does this mean I'm a uncle now Princess?" Spike asked Luna still his gaze fixed on Drake playing his claw. "Of coarse little Spike. Thou can be his uncle if so wishes." Spike almost jumped for joy, but kept his balance on the bed. "Thanks so much Princess!" Twilight could only give a quiet giggle. Seeing Spike already love this child when he just met him only two minutes ago. Luna just wanted to sleep with her new adopted child, but she had royal meetings to attend to sadly. "Twilight. We have meetings to attend to this morning. Might it be ok if thou and Spike could watch over him?" Twilight raised her head and gave a big, wide smile. "Of coarse Luna! I would be honored! Thank you." Luna gave a giggle as well. "It was no trouble at all. Please make sure he is fed and changed." Luna ordered. "I got it jogged in my mind Luna, thanks so much and good luck!"

Luna took her leave and trotted out the door closing it behind. "Twilight? Might it be ok if I could hold him?" Twilight gave her little nephew a gentle, quick kiss on the head. "Of coarse Spike. Just be careful ok?" Spike rolled his eyes knowing he wouldn't do anything to hurt the little guy. "I know Twilight. I just wanna hold him is all." Twilight sighs deep. "I know, Spike. You're responsible enough and I trust you with my life Spike." Spike carefully picked Drake off the bed, holding him in his arms. "He's so cute, and warm." Spike said whispering to Twilight, her nodding in approval. "I agree with you Spike. I just hope this won't be too hard with this one." Spike looked back at Drake. "Well, whatever happens we will love him always and be there for him." Spike said. Twilight paced around the room with worry. "B-But what if I mess something up with Drake? Do something wrong?" Spike shook his head in disapproval. "Twilight. You worry too much... I'm sure you will do the best you can." Spike looked out the window, seeing many ponies trotting out and about, them not knowing what was really happening in the castle. "You'll do the best and you can do it like always. Just believe yourself Twilli, you can do it."

Twilight stopped pacing and looked out the window as well. "You're right Spike. All I can do is believe and try! I'll be the best auntie he can ever have!"
