Rainbow Dash glanced back up at the clock hanging over the waiting room. It had only been three minutes since the last time she had looked. She looked toward the double doors that led to the rest of the hospital. Nothing. She resumed her pacing, making a circuit around the chairs that filled the room.

It had been over an hour since she had been whisked out of the room and into the hall. Something about complications, and then a nurse escorted her to the waiting room. Her friends, who were already waiting, swarmed her buzzing with questions. She filled them in with what little information she had, and set to her routine of pacing, glancing up at the clock, then the door, then back to pacing.
Rainbow’s friends had long given up trying to calm the nervous pegasus, and had nestled in to watch her pace nervously around the waiting room. Fluttershy was doing her best to stay awake; a head propped up with a hoof, every so often her head bobbing down before shooting back up. Pinkie had thrown out subtlety and was currently sprawled across two chairs with her mouth hanging open, dead to the world. Applejack and Rarity sat shoulder to shoulder their heads resting gently against each other, using each other as makeshift pillows.

The bang of the double-doors sent five mares jumping into the air, and a pink mare to the floor. Six heads turned towards the noise to see a doctor scanning the room.

Rainbow knew this doctor. He was Twilight’s doctor. They made eye contact, and the doctor gave the briefest of smiles before making his way over toward the group.

That was all the information Rainbow needed and shot past the doctor, through the swinging doors. Her wings beating furiously she scanned the room numbers as she flew down the hallway. 106, 107, 108...There! She flared her wings, but her momentum was too great and she came to a crashing halt straight into a medicine cart. Not sparing any more time to make sure she was uninjured or to help clean up, she shot through the door that she knew led to Twilight.

Rainbow froze before the door even closed.

Twilight was propped up in bed. Her eyes were closed, and had a tired, yet content, smile on her face. Her mane looked like she just gotten out of a wind tunnel.

It was the most beautiful thing Rainbow had ever seen.

Rainbow looked lower and saw a tiny face peeking out from the bundle of blankets Twilight was holding in her hooves.

Make that the second most beautiful thing.
