Twilight and the other mares looked at the foal in Twilight's grasp, they were fawning over the newly born and dubbed "Diamond Jewel" but their attention was drawn to in addition the new jewelry they had! They found they each had a unique necklace along with the crown that Twilight had in addition, as they spoke to each other a voice spoke.
"My dear ponies, you are the Elements of Harmony and you have done well" the voice said.
Then the sun rose and a bright light appeared in the rays of the sun, then from the light emerged a figure...tall, radiate, beautiful and majestic, it was alabaster(white) in color, a large flowing mane and tail of four colors, it had a long horn and large wings the same color as its body, it had a gold crown, necklace, and shoes; in addition had magenta eyes and a kind face, it was a mare! Not just any mare...this mare with the motherly face and radiant majestic beauty was Princess Celestia herself.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said excitedly yet softly as she knew she had a small form in her physical grasp.
"Twilight my faithful student, I knew you could defeat Nightmare Moon...." Celestia's words trailed as she then saw the foal Twilight was holding, "Twilight...was that from Nightmare?" Celestia asked bending down to see the foal.
"Yes it was" Twilight said, the foal seemed to be at first afraid of Celestia but soon after Celestia made a friendly expression the foal immediately smiled at her resulting in Celestia showing an expression of motherly love.
"She's beautiful...." Celestia said with a warm smile, Celestia then moved to and succeeded in nuzzling the little foal in which it smiled.
"We named her 'Diamond Jewel'" Rarity said.
Celestia smiled at the foal then looked to Rarity and said "That is a beautiful and perfect name".
"I am sure her mother may love it too...Princess Luna..." Celestia said as she turned her attention toward the mare that laid where Nightmare's shattered armor lay around the mare in Nightmare's place.
"But wait...how is it you knew about all this? You told me it was all an old pony tale" Twilight said.
"I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more; I saw the signs of Nightmare Moons' return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her" Celestia explained, "But you could not unleash it until let true friendship into your heart" Celestia finished now moving toward the defeated and changed Nightmare Moon.
The once unconscious mare now awoke and Celestia approached her.
"It has been over a thousand years since I have seen you like this, time to put our differences behind us, and now...you have a daughter who will need you to care for, and I will need you, we were meant to rule together little sister" Celestia said.
"Sister?" Rainbow and Twilight asked in surprise.
"Will you accept my friendship, and....forgive me for the pain I caused you?" Celestia asked.
As the six mares watch on nervously, Luna thinks for a moment and after a while Luna rushed to her sister and accepts what Celestia asked, the two now are once again reunited in happy tears and a warm and loving embrace, now...it was time to heal and forgive and to live the life that was now given back to one, and restored for the other.
*Ponyville*
So the group of the two princesses, Twilight and her friends, and of course....Luna's new daughter, Princess "Diamond Jewel". The Princesses and company were greeted with warm fanfare and calm excitement as to be jubilant yet calm since they had before them, a new foal which was beloved the moment she was seen, Luna had a lot ahead of her with having a new daughter and a new Equestria to get used to, as Celestia granted Twilight residency in Ponyville the town celebrated the return of Princess Celestia and Luna as the twin heads of state to the nation of Equestria!
*****En-route: Canterlot*****
After a while in Ponyville celebrating the three Princesses now returned to the capital, but along the way Luna was having a little difficulty with her daughter, even though Luna was Diamond's mother, Diamond was a little unsure what to think about Luna.
"Be still little one...please?" Luna said nervously.
"Take it easy Luna...being a mother is no easy thing...and that I agreed that I would help" Celestia said softly.
"I am most pleased you will be helping me but...what do you know of raising a foal?..." Luna asked while trying to calm her squirming foal.
"There is somepony I would like to introduce you to" Celestia said.
"Oh? And...who...is it?" Luna said struggling.
"Her name is Cadence, an adopted niece" Celestia said smiling.
"I see...you adopted her and yet call her a 'niece'?" Luna asked perplexed.
"It keeps unwanted attention, responsibilities, and duties off her that as a non-blood relation she cannot have" Celestia explained, "Even though she could, it is not what I want for her" Celestia added.
"I see sister....fascinating..." Luna said mulling over the details in her head.
Celestia simply smiled as she and her sister continued their flight back home. Upon their arrival they were greeted with as to be expect much fanfare but upon seeing Luna had them curious, since they had no idea what happen they were just unsure what to think of the second alicorn standing with Celestia holding a foal, which had them even more curious; they then approached and each noble wanted an answer about the two alicorns with the princess. Celestia then explained to them the details and did so while being tactful in the facts...the nobles were surprised but soon calmed by the princess...they soon left the princesses in peace, but they still wanted to be part of the action of two new princesses that were relatives of Celestia.
Once in the keep Celestia and her sister and niece then left for the kitchen to get a bite to eat, being magically returned to normal was an exhausting experience! But then Celestia remembered something...the foal! What about the foal?? Because Luna was turned normal by the Elements of Harmony, Luna lost her lactation, She needed to have food for Luna's foal...but there was a problem...unlike normal ponies of which you could have the foal fed with milk of another mare with little consequence, alicorns were a different matter....even with normal ponies a mother's milk was unique and it was not fully healthy for a foal to drink another's milk that was not their mother, alicorns were no exception. BUT unlike normal ponies, alicorns' milk was unique on not just a genetic level, but a magic level...so to nurse a foal of an alicorn with a non-alicorn's milk would be a problem....Celestia's magic experience plus her experts and doctors on hoof confirmed her worry.
Celestia had a problem...but luckily there was and is a solution, there was a spell made centuries ago by a unicorn mare who faced the problem related to lactation...hence solved the problem for all mares with that problem, or had a problem and needed this spell to solve it. The spell's effect caused a non-pregnant mare to start lactating in the event a new mother had a problem, this is what Celestia needed...but she faced yet another problem...Luna again...Luna was also due to the Elements of Harmony, reduced in age as a result as well to that of an adolescent mare out of filly-hood and with that Luna lost the lactation she had when changed from Nightmare Moon. Should Celestia perform the spell on Luna in her current form this could do damage to her pre-pubescent sibling, so the answer was to do it to herself...but she was not sure if this would work...Celestia may be Luna's sister, but genetically she could not be sure if it would be enough for her milk to do the job...but she had no time to think it over, and she was not going to have her new niece starve a single day so she can be sure...she had to act....her niece was hungry.
Celestia's options were non-existent, she had no choice....it was try, or the foal dies of hunger, and so as Luna was trying to comfort her squealing, unhappy, and hungry foal Celestia caste the spell. The effects were instant and uncomfortable at first....her now tender and sensitive lactating breasts were ready to feed her niece.
"Luna, hoof her to me" Celestia said showing an obvious face of awkwardness because of her body's change.
Luna did as she was asked and Celestia laid herself as best she could on her right side, Celestia then lowered the hungry foal to her breasts between her hind-legs; at first the foal was not doing anything, but to Celestia and Luna's relief, Diamond started to suckle happily....success!
"There you go little one....easy now, there's plenty" Celestia cooed at the feeding foal with an expression of motherly pride and a warm smile.
"Thank heavens...." Luna said smiling as well.
Celestia from another's view would be various to her subjects, but the sight if her here would perhaps have them moved and emotional at the beautiful and touching sight of Celestia nursing a foal like the mother-like figure she was, even though the foal belonged to Luna this would still be a beautiful thing that Celestia was helping with the upbringing.
"Goodness! She is a hungry foal is she?" Luna exclaimed softly.
"She is, is she?" Celestia agreed.
The scene played out for a while and the two then sat and relaxed when...
"Your Highness?" a guard called, the two princesses snapped out of their bonding and looked at the guard approaching, when the guard arrived however he paused when he found them and upon seeing Celestia he averted his eyes, for seeing Celestia the way she was was none of his business and it made the moment awkward for both parties of the two royal sisters and the guard.
"I-I...apologize...I didn't know you were...preoccupied" the guard said blushing brightly.
"That is alright guard, I should have said something before you saw me" Celestia giggled while blushing herself and Luna laughed softly.
"Thank you...." the guard said.
"What is it sir?" Celestia asked kindly.
"There is an economics meeting you need to attend your Majesty" the guard said after a light bow of his head.
"Oh very well guard, I will be there shortly" Celestia said, as she said this the foal at last stopped feeding, and cooed softly.
"Well....it seems my daughter is satisfied" Luna said taking her foal.
"Remember to burp her Luna" Celestia said standing up, but when she stood even though she felt comfortable earlier, she once again felt awkward, her breasts now fuller in size due to lactation felt strange to her...she also knew they would be a slight distraction to anypony who accidentally looked at her when she sits, so with a caste of a spell her breasts changed to normal again, but they were an illusion....they were still lactating but because of this spell to undiscerning eyes none would be the wiser.
"I will sister..." Luna said holding Diamond in her front-leg.
"Good...I shall return shortly, take care Luna and ask for help if needed okay?" Celestia asked nuzzling her sister lovingly.
"I will Tia" Luna said smiling, Celestia then walked off with the guard beside her, while she walked Luna chuckled and then asked.
"Sister will you be alright?" Luna asked chuckling lightly.
"I will be....why you ask?" Celestia asked perplexed.
"You look uncomfortable sister...you sure you need to keep lactating?" Luna asked.
"Yes Luna...to be ready to feed her when needed, plus to get used to the feeling...and to be honest...strangely, I am enjoying being a mother, even though she is your foal" Celestia smirked at the end before leaving for good, Luna simply smiled as she watched her sister leave her and Diamond, but as Celestia left the foal seemed to be unhappy that she was leaving and started whimpering.
"Oh oh oh it's alright Diamond, mommy's here dear mother's here, and you will see Celestia again" Luna said soothingly.
Diamond seemed to calm down but looked like she wanted Celestia, this worried her...and Celestia would also be concerned if Diamond bonded to her instead of Luna thinking Celestia was her mother. But perhaps some activities would help her bond with her daughter, even though Luna did not know it, but Diamond luckily was already knowing who Luna was but it was a slow understanding, reason?: Luna's magic as weak as it was, was familiar to Diamond.
***Luna***
She began her day with her daughter, a walk perhaps to the garden would be nice she thought as she walked to the garden, the guards walked along side as she made her journey and as they did Diamond was seemingly uncomfortable around the guards but by walking ahead of them and asking the guards to walk behind them it calmed the little filly, and peace was restored.
"I think you will like the garden Diamond Jewel, it is nice outside" Luna said softly.
Diamond simply smiled and giggled in reply, Luna smiled at this as she kept walking onward to the garden ahead. They soon arrived at the garden and immediately Diamond was smiling and wide-eyed at the sights and smells around her and her mother, Luna was moved by her daughter's interest in her surroundings, it was cute to see her daughter looking anything and everything with an adorable curiosity.
"That is a tree Diamond" Luna said looking at the object of Diamond's attention, Diamond then looked at her mother then the tree she was looking at, they two moved one further then they saw a rabbit, "That is a rabbit over there..." Luna said pointing, Diamond then looked at it and the excited intense curious look she made was the cutest thing Luna saw in her life.
The garden tour kept going for a while with Diamond Jewel enjoying herself the whole time, after a while Luna's foal was getting sleepy and that was her cue to put her to bed til later, on her way back she looked down on her snoozing foal and could not help but smile warmly at her sleeping daughter in her grasp; the guards escorting her also could not help but smile as well being in complete adoration of the sleeping little princess.
Soon Luna found to her surprise...a room a guard instructed her to take, upon entering she gasped....the room was decorated with images of night with a starry ceiling above her, in front of her was a large bed that had a over hang giving the bed the appearance of a crescent moon.
"My stars!" Luna exclaimed softly, she then began a walk through of the room, it was beautiful! But she wondered something, how did Celestia know what to do to a room to make it for her? She did not complain at all however....this was the most perfect room she had ever seen...but what surprised her just as much was across from her bed was...a crib!
"Celestia must have had it made while we were in Ponyville...there is no way she could have done this any other time..." Luna said to herself quietly, she then took her daughter over to the beautifully made crib and placed her gently inside, upon covering her sleeping foal she watched as Diamond Jewel snuggled tight into her blankets and cooed softly with content.
Luna smiled warmly again at her as she then bent down to gently kiss her daughter on her forehead and said sweetly and softly "Goodnight my little one".
Luna then backed away from her daughter and headed to her own bed, upon laying down she was then in thought for a moment, thinking of all that had happened and wondered what will her future in this new Equestria will hold, and what challenges will she face? That was for another time...she and her foal had been through alot, now was time to sleep, and sleep they did.
"I hope I will be as good a leader, as I would like to be and need to be a mother...I pray that I will succeed at both, for now I have a foal and a nation, I need to give my care." Luna said dosing off at last.
****Celestia****
Celestia listened as intently as she should, though economics where boring, as a Head-of-State they determined whether your nation was wealthy or broke, so far things were for the most part stable, with the economy doing well as it has been with some area's in need of assistance, but despite this, this meeting was not the thought in her head, it was Luna's foal and the future facing her and her mother Luna, As she thought she also was facing a little problem, well....more like two uncomfortable problems, because she became Luna's Wet-Nurse this had her now baring milk for Luna's foal, this in turn meant dealing with full, sensitive, and tender lactating breasts of which she said to Luna she needed to keep for Diamond Jewel, and so had to get used to them in turn....but now she was starting to regret that decision as she tried to keep herself comfortable while sitting, easier said than done....
Luckily though it was not as bad as you would think, since feeding Diamond Jewel this took some of the discomfort off her and made her breasts easier to deal with, but it did not remove the sensitivity they had...but Celestia's remedy was simply resting her breasts on her hind hooves keeping them off the ground and reducing any unwanted rubbing, this helped a great deal but still...Celestia wanted to stand or lay down as it felt better on her than sitting or walking.
"Thank you sir for your report, I shall take your requests into consideration" Celestia said trying to maintain her look of calm professionalism.
"Thank you your Majesty" the Pegasus Stallion said with a bow.
The meeting went on and words were said but soon the meeting had come to a close and Celestia had a plan to enact, checking on Luna and her foal then rest, she and her sister and her foal had a long day. "Nothing would please me more than seeing if Luna and Diamond Jewel had a relaxing day, then I take a needed nap" Celestia said with a tired tone.
"Also laying down would feel far more comfortable than sitting" Celestia said yawning a little.
"And walking is just as comfortable when not being done" Celestia joked sarcastically.
Celestia then made her way down the many halls of her castle, her destination? Luna's and Jewel's new room, she wanted to see how they liked it, also to explain that she first had the room made for when Luna returned, and the crib was made while they enjoyed the celebration in Ponyville, a fast make but she hoped the crib made with and without magic would work for her new niece, seeing the design in her head she was sure Luna would like it as would Jewel.
Celestia soon arrived at Luna's room, she then gently opened the door to check, what she saw made her realize there would be no talking as she sighed happily and smiled warmly again...something she was happy to do many more times since she had not only her sister back, but a new niece to love as well.
The sight was touching, Luna was there on her bed happily sleeping peacefully, Celestia entered the room to see Jewel; when she did she quietly Aw'd as she saw the most beautiful, heartwarming, and peaceful sight one could imagine, Diamond Jewel snuggled in her blankets sleeping deeply.
"Oh Luna...what a precious and beautiful daughter you have..." Celestia said tears in her eyes.
"How I envy you little sister...and yet, how proud am I to be this foal's aunt?" Celestia said in addition, bending down to kiss the foal on her cheek, "Sleep well Diamond Jewel, and you too my sister" Celestia said looking from her niece to Luna.
Celestia then walked to her sister and after a moment nuzzled Luna then kissed her on her cheek, after a little longer she silently slipped from the room to her own so she too could rest from the day and hopefully be not disturbed for a while.
Celestia now was in her room and peacefully relaxing on her bed laying sideways for her comfort because of the reason aforementioned, she to help relax herself further had brewed a cup of Chamomile tea which did the trick and soon she was slowly dosing off as she drank, she was in thought as her body grew heavy due to sleep, but while she had thought she wondered what will her future in Equestria will hold, and what challenges will she face? That was for another time...she, her sister, and her foal had been through alot, now was time to sleep, and sleep she did.
"I hope I will be as good a leader, as I would like to be a sister...I pray that I will succeed at both, for now I have a sister, her foal, and a nation, I need to give my care." Celestia said dosing off at last.
*******Celestia & Luna*******
"But despite what we face, there is something to count on, somepony to count on, for now I am not alone anymore, I have friends and most importantly....my sister!" they thought happily with pride.
