A few months ago, Princess Celestia and her wife, Princess Twilight Sparkle, birthed the first foal born of two mares. The rare magic they had used to weave the child together had cause some defects during the foals formation.

“I've finally gotten him to sleep!” Celestia said with smile, entering the chamber she shared with Twilight.

“That great!” Twilight replied, forcing a half smile on her face.

“What is it my dear?”Celestia questioned, trotting up to her young wife.

“I don't know. You know the saying 'a face only a mother could love'?” asked Twilight, turning her gaze out the window.

“Yes." Celestia wondered where her beloved was going with this.

“Well," started Twilight, walking towards the window, "As much as I love our little sunshine, he's not as cute as The other colts. Due to his birth defects."

“He is the first baby to be made entirely by magic. We tried the best we could." Celestia walked up behind her wife.

“I know, I'm just worried that he will be made fun of by everyone and..”

“And what?” Celestia nuzzled her wife, trying to coax out the answer.

“I don't know! I love my child, I really truly do! Sometimes though I look at him and I just think how... how ugly he is." Twilight turned to face her wife, tears streaming down her face. "I'm a horrible mother, aren't I? I'm so shallow!"

Celestia gave her a kiss and whispered softly in her ear, while wiping her tears away. ”You're not.This is some flaw that all ponies have, you're not the first mother in history to think that. What's important is to love him, with all of your heart, despite the way he looks.”  

Twilight sniffled leaning into her wife, "And I do. Thank you."

“Wah!" Celestia and Twilight broke apart at the sound of their foal crying.

“And there goes our moment of reprease." joked Twilight, trotting over to the nursery.

Celestia laughed at Twilight's remark, the sound like the tinkle of a bell.Twilight lifted her son out of his bed. The little colt was wear a onesie covered in small yellow ducks, a gift from his Aunt Rarity.

“You little stinker," Twilight blew a raspberry at her little colt, "Why can't you sleep?” the colt gave a smile and a coo to his mother.

Twilight picked him up and carried him to the other room where Celestia was. She  gently laid him down rest his head on her hoof as she snuggles up next to Celestia in the bed.

The colt seemed just wanted to be with his mother's and soon fell back into a content and peaceful slumber.

“You know, despite what one may say on how he looks, he's quite adorable when he sleeps.”  Celestia stated, wrapping a blanket around the three of them

“Yes he does.”Twilight said, a smile overtaking her features.

Twilight whispered in her son's ear, ”You are are most precious thing in the world to us.I don't care if you may look different from every pony else, mommy and I love you more then anything else in the world."

The three of them then fell into a deep and content sleep.
