	Months have passed since Twilight had defeated the Lord of Chaos and Fire Punch and had awakened the Light Kingdom and had become its princess. It didn’t take long until the Light Kingdom be, just like the Crystal Empire, a tourist spot for the other ponies that now could marvel at its beauty. A way had been opened in the dense forest to the Light Kingdom that was now connected to Equestria.

Twilight moved to the Light Kingdom and thus rules it. She was still a little nervous before her new role as a princess and she still wasn’t used completely to her new bright coat. But, luckily for her, Blue was by her side, as well as her number one assistant, Spike. The two had moved to the Light Kingdom and began to help her with the affairs of the kingdom. However, after months inhabiting the Light Kingdom, they began to feel as if they were at home and this made them also won a luminous body.

The Generals of Order helped Twilight whenever they could. Twilight also managed to get used to the different personalities that each had: Golden Paladin was the calmest and the most reasonable and was the only one who could control the problems that arose with his siblings; Mirror Coat was the most intelligent due to his rank as General of Knowledge and the Mirrored Library librarian, but was quite serious and somewhat arrogant, although he show a lot of respect to his superiors; Leaf Mane was very kind and sympathetic, just like Fluttershy, except the General wasn’t as shy as the little pegasus was; Purple Smoke was very self-confident, due to his ability to copy every talent, and he really liked to praise himself, besides being pretty sloppy, something that irritated Melody, which was his opposite, because, although quite zealous with her appearance, she was quite humble and sincere. Twilight had already been advised by the other Generals to never come between the General of Talent and the General of Music, because no one had been able to cease this conflict between them. Heartbeat, that was the General Twilight knew better, traded her most serious and cynical facet she had shown during the search for her brothers and sisters’ star seeds for a most joyous and cheerful one.

Twilight's friends came to visit as much as they could and the young princess tried to get always time for them, something that almost always could do. The six joined and talked about what was going on in Ponyville or about other things.

Twilight's pregnancy also progressed. Her belly was getting bigger and the excitement of the arrival of a new foal was evident. The entire kingdom was waiting with great enthusiasm the birth of its Princess’ foal. Of all the ponies, Blue was the one who was more excited.

Then, when they arrived in the middle of the tenth month, the Twilight’s water broke, which meant the baby would come out. She was now in the hospital of the Light Kingdom, ready to give birth. She was trying to deal with the pain, although it was very difficult. The contractions were now constant. The only thing that gave her comfort was Blue who was at her side holding her hoof.

"Take it easy, Twily" he said. "Everything will be fine."

"I don't want… everything will be fine!" Twilight exclaimed between moans. "I just want it to end quickly."

"Calm down, Princess, we are almost there" Leaf Mane said, who was the midwife. "Come on, three, two, one... push!"

Twilight did so while screaming.

"I see the head already" Leaf Mane said. "Come on, Princess, the baby is almost out."

"Come on, Twily, you can do it" Blue encouraged.

"One last time" Leaf Mane said. "Three, two, one... push!"

Twilight made a last ditch effort and then she heard the sound of a cry. The baby was born.

Sometime after birth of the foal, Twilight was in her room with Blue beside her. The two were looking to the baby that was in Twilight’s forelegs, wrapped in a blue blanket. It was a very cute alicorn colt. He had a golden coat with coatless hooves in a lighter tone and the mane seemed to be a mixture of his parents’. He also emitted a soft pale yellow light. The baby looked to his parents with eyes that were an exact replica of Blue’s. Twilight and Blue had decided to call him Star Knight.





"Our baby is really beautiful" Twilight said.

"But of course" Blue agreed, proudly. "He is my son, after all."

Twilight giggled and then said:

"It's hard to believe that now we're parents. I never thought this would happen. I still can't believe that we're together."

"What can I say?" Blue replied. "It was our destiny. It joined us and made sure we had Star Knight. Now, we can be a complete and happy family."

"Yes, you're absolutely right" Twilight agreed, smiling.

The two exchanged a kiss and then began to contemplate their son, the fruit of all their love.

The End
