“The Love of a Mother”
Princess Celestia, high ruler of Equestria, goddess of the sun and keeper of balance was currently lying on her bed, letting her wings unfold gracefully on her sides, her divine multi-colored mane danced around an invisible breeze and her royal regalia lay forgotten randomly on the ground.
She wasn’t relaxing or even resting; she was simply lying there on top of her bed thinking back on the events earlier that day, it was reasonable really, not only she had found the element of magic and a new and more powerful protégée but if she played her cards right maybe, just maybe if everything went as she was planning maybe this new faithful student, this Twilight Sparkle would even one day ascend to become an Alicorn.
But even that paled in comparison to the ‘other’ meaningful event that had occurred. To think it came to be just by a small misunderstanding made it all the more incredible, a simple mistake made by the council of her private school for gifted unicorns, they took the egg she had guarded so tenaciously for years instead of the dull rock they normally use for the test.
Celestia giggled softly, who would have thought that a simple mistake like that would end up in the unpredicted birth of a little, cute and magnificent dragon? She could even bet that not even Star Swirl the Bearded would have predicted something like that.
A little tug on her snout made her look down at the little purple ball of scales and green spikes, two beautiful and shining green eyes looked at her magenta ones, she could see confusion on them as the little dragon tugged and her snout with one of his feet and grabbed a handful of her blue stripped mane, his little tail tickling lightly at her exposed neck, the image before her could be only described as “Adorable”.
Celestia smiled warmly at the little dragon making him smile back at her, his confusion turning into happiness as he snuggled her snout with all four claws and placing light kisses and some of his saliva on her. Using her forelegs Celestia hugged the little dragon against her nuzzling him affectingly; her reward was the uncompressible sounds made by the little baby.
“My baby”
Celestia sighed contently, after almost a century of finding that egg it had finally hatched; she couldn’t help but feel sad remembering that the egg was left alone to be destroyed, the real parents didn’t want it saying it was too small and too fragile to be a proper dragon, feeling sorry for the egg she ‘bought it’ from those horrible dragons, even the price made her sick at the beginning, a simple ruby was all they had asked in exchange for the egg.
At first she saw the egg as nothing more than an unfortunate child that she had saved and tried to hatch it, to her surprise it didn’t work so she tried to do it again multiple times but it was fruitless, the egg simply did not hatch, there was something wrong with this egg and for a moment she thought that the baby inside was already dead, gladly it wasn’t the case, the egg simply refused to hatch, something that had never occurred before in her life.
Slowly the egg grew into her, each year that passed Celestia saw it less and less as the poor unloved child of a horrible dragon couple to something much more familiar, then she saw it as an opportunity, as an asset but it all came crashing down when a foolish guard tried to dispose of it, her reaction came instantly, sending the guard to a full paid vacation to the hospital for a month.
Celestia had adopted the little egg as her own child, and soon the thought grew more and more powerful inside of her, when she was stressed she talked to the egg, when she was angry she sang to it and soon her anger was forgotten, if her sadness and worries overwhelmed her she cried to it, soon enough she had grown to it with such a force that she came to love the purple egg as a real child of her own and had tried almost everything to hatch it and to finally have her beloved baby at her side.
“I can finally show you just how much I love you, my baby”
Celestia kissed his forehead earning a little laugh from her baby dragon as she snuggled him even harder against her, always taking care not to harm him.
Harm.
That word echoed inside of her head, what if somepony or someone hurt her little baby? Her enemies were numerous and her baby would be a tremendous way to harm her, maybe even to defeat her. Celestia frowned.
“Let them dare and they will suffer the wrath of the sun”
But what could she do? She wasn’t omnipresent and she wasn’t all powerful, she couldn’t watch him all the time, if someone actually managed to hurt him, all because of her, would she even forgive herself? Could she protect him or even assure his safety in his early years? What would he do as he grows up? Would he stay? Would he leave? And what would be the reaction of her beloved subjects? It was commonly known that ponies and dragons couldn’t mix and many out there hated dragons, but what harm could a little baby dragon do?.
Maybe, maybe if she played her cards right, maybe she could use her baby to--
“Gah!”
Looking down again she saw her little baby smiling up at her, sucking at her mane. Her eyes filled with small tears. Celestia couldn’t believe it. Not even a day with her long awaited baby and she was already planning on using him?.
“NO!” she thought, yelling at herself. “I will not make the same mistake again!”
“I promise you, my beautiful baby, as long as I live no pony will harm you, not even me”
Celestia kissed his forehead again, letting a pair of hot regretful tears fall down her eyes.
“I will never use you against your will, my little Spike”
Spike snuggled against her snout even more and placed light-saliva filled kissed along her muzzle, Spike yawned and closed his eyes little by little, entering to a nice slumber as Celestia used her magic to raise the moon and put the sun down, as the night rose up she also began to fall into a nice slumber.
“Even if at times it won’t seem like I do, I promise you, I will always love you my little baby” Celestia kissed his exposed cheek softly “I will be the mother you deserve”
As both of them fell into a peaceful loving slumber the last thing Celestia heard was a faint
“Mommy”
The end.
D'Aww.
This was beautiful.

Eeyup. that was truly beautiful.
Very cute.
You made my day, we don't see many fics showing the mother/son relationship between Celestia and Spike and this takes the cake. Thank you for sharing this
Momlestia is bes-Tia. (Yeah, corny.)
Anyways, good story. I always love it when authors paint Celestia as such like here and not many take into account that Celestia pretty much was Spike's mother. (Though Twilight is like a big sister, the rest of the Sparkle family would also be relatives.)
there needs to be more great celestia/spike mother-son fics. Im sick and tired of all the spike's mom is twilight fics.
So much feels!
Awww this was so sweet!
THANK YOU!!!!! FINALLY!!!! CELESTIA BEING A GREAT MOTHER TO SPIKE!!!!!
That was beautiful.

WOW, in less than2 hours so many comments and so much support? THIS IS THE REASON I KEEP WRITTING!
To all of you, thank you!

You're welcome
2877247 Your welcome.
damncovers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/whos_awesome-fb-cover.jpg
2877247 No thank you for writing such a beautiful story
2877247You're welcome Also In my stories I'm having it where Spike's actual father was a pony that could transform into a dragon. Also implications that Celestia might actually be Spike's mother.
Either, that was heart burn, or this was a very heartwarming story!
not going to read, sorry, but that is a cute picture
2877247 no thank you good sir, after reading this I called my mom and told her thanks for raising me and that i love her.
Beautiful
What did she mean by "I won't make the same mistake again." Just curious. Cute story, too.
2877883 Its meant for Luna, for me Celestia tried to manipulate Luna in the past and we all know how that turned out
I gotta give it to you this made something in me... shift. I'm not saying I'm crying, just saying you hit a soft spot for me. So thanks for that... You evil man!!
so......touching
Cute, and I guess she gave him to Twilight so that he wouldn't be as much of a target.
"Thunk"
10 minutes later
Ahh my heart it gave out again
I could only think of this song as I read this *Salutes* Fine work you did here son.
so much D'aww
there really needs to be a Spike/Momlestia episode
2876920 they're both his mom. He hatched from a sterile egg by Twilight's magic and was raised by Celestia, according to Faust.
2880538 cant forget about rainbow dash and fluttershy, they helped out too.
2880651 They're more like the foster parents, since they didn't directly hatch or raise her.
Momlestia is my favorite celestia... so beautiful, i love how this is canon from faust
niceeeeeeee
You know, this explains that part in Winter Wrap up when Spike wakes up saying Mommy? Then when noticing it's Twilight says, You're not mommy.
2882506 Twilight hatched the egg when she was taking her test, so I don't believe this is cannon.
Still touching though, so much emotion brought on by a small space of words...Not a lot of people can do that.
2878019 Ah, I see. Well, thank you.
Short, sweet, and perfect.
Loved every word of it.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Simple, short, touching, beautiful.
No more need's to be said. Only this:
The thing I hate about this (wich saldy actually aplies to the cannon) is that it makes Celestia sound like a manipulative bitch who's been controlling all of Twilight's life for her own benefit.
This was unbearably sweet. Hatchling Spike is the most adorable thing I've ever seen, and stories about him just make me wanna die from cuteness overload (especially if they're about filly Twilight as well). But seeing Celestia act like a comforting mother toward him was absolutely precious.
Wow! No offense intended, but that was my reaction to reading that gigantic run-on sentence. You probably weren't paying attention when writing that paragraph, because there are about five or six places that need periods. Let me mark'em:
The same problem can be found in more than half the paragraph throughout the rest of the chapter. I can't fathom why nobody else has pointed out these glaring errors.
Celestia being Spike's mom is a very important part of my headcanon of her and this was just wonderful. Heartfelt and full of warmth, just like a sunny day.
Oi author.. More? I'd LOVE so see an actual Tia is Spike's Mother story, I don't mean short ones, a nice long story
Gods I'm going to cry, oh Gods so bucking cute, I LOVE IT! How did I not see this fic before? Gods damn, I must read more, you did seriously very, very well, I'm really impressed, I'm hoping they show allows for something so sweet and innocent, you did perfect brother
HHNNNNGGGGGG *clutches chest and falls dead*

True, but at the same time it serves as a nice contrast to her subsequent realization that she was considering doing the same with Spike, and vehemently deciding against it.
Perhaps the same thought might occur to her with Twilight, leading to her sending Twilight to find her own path, even if it leads back to the same goal in its own way.
Aww, this story is so sweet, baby Spike is adorable!
