> The New Bundles of Joy > by TheSuperTransformerFan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Twilight Sparkle's Daughter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Castle of Friendship, Twilight Sparkle, the princess of Friendship, was sitting in her library reading a book. As she read her book, she looked up and smiled at the recent events that have happened lately. She recently married the element of Kindness...one of her best friends, Fluttershy and it has been quite some time since her kind friend confessed her love for her. She let out a sigh of happiness as she was already starting her life with Fluttershy as a married couple. Now, ever since Fluttershy confessed her love to Twilight, she herself got pregnant with her friend’s foal. Since then, she had been wondering what would happen if she did get born. That was yet to be decided...but even so, sometimes the biggest surprises can come unexpectedly. Spike came in to see his sister reading a book. He smiled as he greeted her as usual. “Hi, Twilight.” He said. “How you doin?” Twilight saw her assistant and smiled. “Hey, Spike.” She said. “What’s up?” “Well, I just wanted to say that now that you’re married, I think you and Fluttershy will have a good future together.” Spike told her. Twilight smiled as her cheeks blushed lightly. “Yes, Spike.” She said. “I think so too. I just can’t believe that I finally got married to one of my best friends after confessing her love for HOW long!” She gulped. “I meant in a good way.” “That’s great to hear.” Spike said contentedly. “Also, I’ve been wondering about your kid.” “My kid?” Twilight asked, smiling. “Yeah, you sure have.” “I’m wondering if your baby will be a boy or a girl.” Spike asked her. “I don’t know that yet, Spike.” Twilight said as she patted her assistant’s scaled head gently. “You’ll just have to find out when the time comes.” “I hope it’s a boy, so that I can play catch with him, show him the ways of virtual box and—“ Spike started. “Like I said, Spike. You’ll have to wait and see.” She said to him. “But, it’s great to hope about what my kid will be like.” Spike smiled as he nodded as he started to leave the room. “Hey, do you know when you’ll be having the baby, Twi?” He asked as he turned to her before he left. “Well, it could take some time for it to come.” She said. “But, knowing my friends, and my wife and you...I bet the baby could most likely come before you know it.” “That’s great, Twilight.” Spike said. “Well, I’m just gonna go see Rainbow Dash. Bye!” He then dashed out of the library. Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes in content as she got back to reading her book. She was just about to read a passionate page in her book when suddenly, she felt a kick in her stomach. Twilight wondered where that was coming from. She didn’t see anything unusual except her bulging belly and went back to reading. Just then, she felt her tummy rip itself apart as water flowed through the cut. Twilight’s water broke! She groaned in pain as Spike rushed inside. “What’s wrong, Twi?” Spike asked. “Is something wrong??” Twilight was trying to breathe softly for dear life, but it was hard as her water just recently broke. “Spike!...I...I think my...water...” “What’s going on, Twilight?” Spike asked getting worried. “I...I...” Twilight couldn’t speak normally in this condition as she was going to burst any minute! She took in a quick deep breath as she shouted in pain across the castle. “FLUTTERSHY!” At that moment, her wife, Fluttershy rushed inside the room and saw that her wife was grunting in pain. “Twilight!” She said in shock. “What’s happening?!” “Twilight’s in pain, and I don’t know what’s happening!” Spike said, getting a little more frantic. “My...My water...just broke!” Twilight managed to gasp out. Spike gasped as he knew what that meant. “Twilight’s water broke!” He said in alarm! “She’s going into labor!” Fluttershy gasped at this discovery at what was happening to her wife. “Oh my goodness!” She said in shock. “We gotta get her to the hospital quick!” Spike nodded as they both carefully picked up Twilight and flew her out of the castle and right to the Ponyville hospital. The others took notice of their friend being flown to the hospital and quickly trailed them. Rainbow Dash was a little panicked that Twilight’s water broke recently. “Ohmygosh!” Rainbow said in shock. “Did Twilight’s water break? Is she going to die? What about her baby?! What could be wrong?” Everyone else looked to each other and then all turned to Applejack. The farm mare sighed and ran closer up to Rainbow. “Don't you think you're bein' a little paranoid?” she asked. Rainbow Dash seemed to calm down slightly, “But, why else would the Twilight’s water break at such an unexpected time and in such a hurry?” She asked. Everyone gave a sigh of frustration, “Ah don’t know, but maybe a ‘How you doin’?’ might be why and the scrolls said to come when we can, not as soon as possible, not immediately, not five minutes ago, when we can.” Applejack said in frustration. As Rainbow Dash seemed to calm down, Starlight Glimmer sighed, “You better make this go faster, I don’t know how long until Rainbow freaks out again.” she said to Rarity who nodded, and they soon arrived at the Ponyville Hospital. Once they arrived, Rainbow and Cozy quickly flew inside. The rest sighed and then followed suit at a more moderate pace. As Twilight and her wife, along with Spike came in, Spike got the doctor’s attention. “Help! Please!” He said, hyperventilating and in a panic. “Twilight’s...water...just broke.” “She’s going into labor!” Fluttershy said shocked. The doctor immediately took notice upon seeing her in this state. “Oh, ye gads!” He said. “Well, no wonder.” He quickly and carefully put her on a operating table. “Wheel her into surgery! Go! Go! Go!” Fluttershy and Spike both pushed the try inside the room for Twilight’s delivery. At that moment, the rest of the Mane six came and rushed in to see their friend. “We have to see Twilight at once!” Rainbow Dash said frantically. “It’s an emergency!” “Sorry, we can’t take much more mares inside the operating room.” The doctor told them. “You’ll all have to stay in the waiting area for now.” “Oh COME ON!” Rainbow shouted in worry and anger. She felt that they had all come to see their friend for naught. At that moment, Fluttershy and Spike came back in the room and saw their friends shocked and disappointed that they couldn’t see Twilight. The Pegasus and drake nodded as they went up to their friends. “Oh, thank Celestia you’re here!” Starlight said in relief to see their friends! “Fluttershy, Darling!” Rarity told the kind Pegasus. “We’re worried about Twilight. She’s been in there for a long time!” She was about to go into her dramatic phase and faint on a couch while crying. “Girls, it’s perfectly normal for births to take a while.” Fluttershy told her friends. “It’s hard work.” “Fluttershy’s right.” Spike said in agreement. “Don’t worry, If I know Twilight, She can totally handle this!” The others’ ears perked up when they heard that. “Really?” They all asked. They nodded, and the hospital doors swung open. “You may all come in now.” The doctor called out. The girls exchanged looks of worry and determination as they slowly walked inside the delivery room and saw Twilight grunting, trying to get her baby out of her tummy. The others were worried about her. “How is she doing, Doctor?” Starlight Glimmer asked. “Is she going to be okay?” Pinkie Pie asked worriedly as well. “Yes. She’ll be alright.” The doctor told them. “The only thing she has to know is that all of us are here with her. She just needs to breathe in and out a few times.” Twilight did so as soon as he was talking to them. “All she needs to do now is push.” Applejack came to her side. “C’mon, Sugarcube.” She said. “Y’all can do it! You just gotta push!” “We believe you can do this, Darling!” Rarity said warming and smiling. “Come on, Twilight.” Cozy said. “You can do it! Push harder.” “You can do it, Twilight!” Pinkie said encouraging. “Come on, Twilight!” Starlight said, a little worried. “Do it for all of Equestria!” Rainbow said excitedly and nervously. “Push! push! push! push!” Pretty soon, everyone joined into Rainbow’s cheer as they all encouraged her to push. “Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” They all said. They kept saying push a myriad of times as Twilight did her breathing! Finally, a unicorn head popped out, followed by a body, some Pegasus wings and arms and legs! Twilight’s Baby was born at last! “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!” They all cheered for her. “Congratulations!” The doctor said to them. “The Baby is a girl.” They all surrounded their friend to see her. She appeared to be a baby alicorn, matching Fluttershy’s appearance with a body and mane like Her. She had a unicorn horn on her head and her coat was a yellowish green. She had eyes just like Twilight’s, and her mane was coloured like Twilight’s as well. Twilight smiled as she took her baby into her arms and hugged it gently. The others saw smiled heartwarming as well as tears of joy ran through every pony’s faces. “What do you think, Girls?” Twilight asked them. “How do you like her?” “I think she looks adorable, Twilight.” Applejack said. “I agree with Applejack.” Pinkie joined in. “She is so sweet.” “Ah! They are so cute that they are most adorable darlings you ever seen!” Rarity said as tears of joy come through her. “They are so cute!” Starlight said. “She is adorable.” Cozy Glow said. “I can’t wait until she gets older, so we can show her how to be a good princess.” “I agree with Cozy.” Spike said, smiling with tears in his eyes. “She is so sweet.” “I agree with each and every one of you!” Twilight said softly as she smiled and saw her daughter for the very first time. “Me too.” Fluttershy said as she went over to her wife’s side and saw their daughter for the very first time. She kissed her daughter on the cheek. “She’s beautiful.” She said to Twilight. “What should we name her?” The filly opened her eyes and smiled sweetly at her mothers. Twilight saw that her eyes and mane sparkled, but she almost looked like she was one to blend in with the serene backgrounds to stand out in the nice forests...similar to Snow White. “Mama.” The filly said. “Awwwwww.....” they all said. “Her first word too!” Twilight said and then, she thought of a great name for her. “Serenity. Sparking Serenity.” The others thought Sparkling Serenity was a good name because not only it matched Twilight’s personality of her last name, but also like Fluttershy as she was serene in the outdoors. “I like that name.” Rainbow Dash said. “Sparkling Serenity. It almost matches both of your personalities.” The others nodded as well. “It sure does.” Twilight said as she and her wife looked at their daughter as she smiled at them. “Our daughter.” She said sweetly. “We’ll make sure she has a great family here that loves her.” The others nodded as they surrounded the baby, and looked at her with praise, love and adoration for Twilight’s new daughter. “We’ll love her with all our heart.” Fluttershy said. They all embraced her with all the love they would give her. Twilight finally had her baby after such a long time since that night with her and Discord. She would have a loving family to help her guide the way into the magic of Friendship and help her make new friends along the way too. Sparkling Serenity would have a family...and friends, and maybe something more. > Celestia & Luna's Daughter And Son > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a normal day at Canterlot Castle...well, if you were to call birthing a kid normal, you’re sadly mistaken! Anyways, the day started out as normal. Princess Celestia was in her throne room writing down tax law while her guards were accompaning her. Just then, she felt a kick in her tummy. She gasped in shock, and started to get back to work. Her sister, Princess Luna then came in to greet her. “Hi!” she said cheerfully. Celestia looked and smiled. “Hi, Luna.” She said. “Come on here, have a seat.” Luna did so and sat right next to her sister. “So, how’s it going with last night?” “Oh, it was okay.” Luna said, smiling. “Discord & I went to a movie with mom and then out for dinner. We went to this place that had... Ooh...” she felt as if she were in pain as she grasped her tummy. “Hoo... ooh... Anyway, they had these really amazing cheeseburgers.” Celestia could tell something was wrong with her sister, but she couldn’t tell what. “Luna, are you okay?” She asked. Just then, she felt pain too as something exploded inside her and water flowed through where it exploded. “Oh, god!” She said in shock. “You’re feeling it too?” Luna asked shocked. “Luna...I think our waters just broke!” Celestia said in even more shock. Luna could feel it too, and right there and then, she realized it was urgent. “Sister! We need to call Twilight and the others as soon as possible!” Celestia nodded as she quickly wrote a scroll and sent it to Twilight. “Hurry, Twilight.” Celestia fretted. “We need you!” A few seconds later, Twilight and company arrived quickly into the throne room. “Girls. Thank you so much for coming.” Celestia said to them. “What's wrong?!” Twilight asked in shock. “What can we do?!” “That's just it.” Luna told them. “Yeah, you know, maybe We ate too much. I keep getting these stomach aches. They come and go like every few minutes.” She rubbed her stomach in pain. Applejack and the others instantly realized what that meant. “Oh my God!” she blurted out. “Relax! We just get them some antacids.” Rarity said to her. “They don’t have stomach aches, Rarity!” Applejack told her. “They’re in labor.” Discord arrived in not a moment too soon. “Hey there, Ponies!” He said. “What’s going...on?” he noticed Celestia and Luna in pain. “Celestia and Luna are going into Labor!” Applejack told them. “Oh my God!” he and Rarity both said in shock. “Alright then!” Discord said as he readied his fingers. “We got to go to the hospital!” He rounded up Twilight and her friends as well as his two wives. “Let’s go!” He snapped his fingers urgently, teleporting them to the hospital. “Could you not go popping us all over, please?” Rainbow asked. “This is important!” Discord said urgently. “Tia and Lulu’s babies are due any second! We need to make sure they get there in time!” Rainbow giggled. “Tia?” “Lulu?” Rarity asked. “Are those your nicknames for those two?” Starlight asked, pointing to the two princesses. “No time!” Discord said as he got the two to wheel chairs! “Help! These two are in dire need, and their water just broke!” A nurse came up to them and smiled. “Alright then.” She said. “Who are...” just then she gasped in shock at the ponies who were in her presence. “Princess Celestia! Princess Luna! Oh my gosh! Why didn’t you say so?” She squealed in excitement. “Wheel them both into delivery!” She told two other nurses and/or doctors. “Go go go!” They did so as Discord and the others waited for them to be called up. Finally, they were called up and went in the delivery room. First, to Princess Luna’s delivery room, as they saw her breathing hard in pain. “Doctor, how is she doing?” Twilight asked the doctor. “She’s doing fine.” The doctor told her. “All she needs to do is push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” “And push!” Rainbow Dash said as she turned to her friends. “Come on, Everypony! You know what to do!” They all nodded as they all said it with her. “Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” They all said. Luna pushed so hard that a unicorn head came out, followed by a winged body. “Congratulations!” The doctor said. “It’s a boy. What would you like to name her?” The ponies, Spike and Discord took a look at the baby and were beaming with excitement of what it looked like! It was a little alicorn colt with a white ruffled mane and tail like Discord’s, and his ears were pointy. He also had a navy blue coat like princess Luna and he had hooves similar to Big Mac. “He looks very adorable!” Starlight said in awe of this new baby. “Golly, he looks so cute.” Cozy said in awe. “And, night loving.” Twilight said in agreement. The draconniqus and alicorn shared a little laugh. “She sure does.” Luna said. “What would you like to name her?” “Actually. I thought you could do the honors.” Twilight said her. Luna thought for a minute. “You know, I’ve always wanted to a kid named...Gallant Eclipse.” She said, smiling. “Then, Gallant Eclipse it will be.” Twilight said as she and her friends smiled at the colt’s presence. “Celestia would be proud to see this new bundle of joy finally born and out into the world.” Fluttershy said. The others nodded. Just then, they heard a scream of pain coming from the other room as they jumped in alarm. “What was that?” Rainbow asked. Luna recognized who it was. “Tia!” She said in shock. In the other room, Princess Celestia herself was screaming in pain and breathing very deeply as the others came in. “CELESTIA!” Twilight said in shock. “Gee golly!” Applejack and Cozy said in shock. “Darling!” Rarity said. “Oh my goodness!” Fluttershy said. “What?!” Rainbow and Pinkie said at the same time. “Oh gosh! Celestia!” Discord said in shock and worry. “How is my sister doing, Doc?” Luna asked a nurse. “She’s doing fine.” The nurse said. “All she needs to do is push!” “You know what to do!” Rainbow said as she rallied up her friends into getting the sun princess to push. “Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” “Come on, Tia!” Luna said with worry and determination. “You can do it! Try harder!” “You got it!” Pinkie Pie said. “You got it!” “You can do this, Celestia!” Discord said as he took her hoof in her hand. “We’re here for you.” He smiled at her. “Come on!” Twilight said in worry and shock. Celestia struggled, grunted and groaned until finally, a head came out, followed by some arms, then a body, then legs and last but not least, a tail! Everyone sighed with relief and cheered. “Congratulations!” The nurse said with glee. “It’s a girl! What would you like to name her?” The baby appeared to have a ruffled black mane and a cyan horn with her head in a gray coat and her lower body was light gray with a zebra coloured leg. She even had blue wings and a pink and blue feathered tail with a snake-like appendage attached to it. “I’d like to name her Chaotic Sunrise.” Celestia said as she smiled to Discord and Luna. “Ah, Tia! That’s such a wonderful name.” Luna said. “And it compliments you and Discord because it looks similar to both of you.” “That baby looks just like Discord and Celestia.” Twilight said as she smiled with joy. “Don’t you agree, girls?” “I agree, Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said. “She looks just chaotic and adorable rolled into one!” “I agree with you guys!” Pinkie said as she smiled and tears of joy streamed out her eyes. “She is very one of a kind, Darling.” Rarity complimented. Discord blushed sweetly. “That’s great to say, since Gallant Eclipse now has a sister.” Celestia looked confused. “Gallant Eclipse?” She asked. “That’s my son, Tia.” Luna told her sister. She smiled. “Well, now we have a son and a daughter! Isn’t that wonderful?” “You bet it is.” Twilight told them happily. “You bet it is.” “Our kids.” Celestia said as she, Luna and Discord said happily. “We’ll love them both.” Discord said happily. “Welcome to the world, little ones. Stick with us, we’ll help you learn about making friends and helping out.” Gallant Eclipse and Chaotic Sunrise were finally born and were ready to start their life with their new royal and chaotic family. And more friends too in the future for them. > Zecora's Daughter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deep inside the Everfree Forest, Zecora was humming as she was stirring potions in a enormous brew. She was just about to reach for a few herbs to add to her recipe when Pinkie Pie managed to drop by. “Hi, Zecora!” Pinkie Pie said as she entered. “I’m home! Boy you’ve got a recipe cooking! Whatcha got?” She asked as she saw the vat. Zecora looked at the pink pony and smiled. “Hello, Pinkie Pie! I’m glad you stopped by!” Zecora said. Pinkie smiled back. “I’m making a ominous brew...one that can help cure thoose!” Pinkie trotted in. “Y’know, it’s hard to believe that it’s only been a few weeks since we got married?” Zecora nodded in excitement. “Oh, boy! What I had to do to not only plan this wedding, but also make sure ours goes perfect.” “I know it was such a delight to come into love in the light.” Zecora said as she started seductively to her wife. “How are the cakes? Do they have anything to bake?” “The cakes are doing fine!” Pinkie told her. “Mr. & Mrs. Cake are doing really well with Sugarcube Corner with the help of Cheese Sandwich! I’ve already scheduled a babysit session with Pound and Pumpkin Tuesday, and this house has a good serene feel to it!” Zecora giggled and smiled. “I’m glad you had no harm.” She said. “These star necklaces were the right charm.” “They sure were!” Pinkie said. “I’m glad I didn’t sell them. I mean can you believe what would’ve happened if we did?” They both shared a giggle. She looked around a little nervously. “I hope I’m not interrupting your time with Applebloom, am I? I don’t want to be a burden with her coming to learn new potions and all...” “Oh, Pinkie! You’re doing nothing wrong.” Zecora told her. “It’d be great if Applebloom had someone to help along.” “Oh, okay!” Pinkie said. “I’ll go get some of the herbs you needed in your kitchen!” And she went to the kitchen to get some of the herbs. Zecora smiled because knowing Pinkie Pie, and that she had someone to help plan and gather stuff for potions, she was happy to have someone she really loved. What could possibly go wrong? At that moment, Zecora felt a sharp pain in her belly and dropped her mixing spoon in the vat as she fell, grasping in to her tummy. She groaned that it caught Pinkie Pie’s attention. “What’s wrong, Zecora?” She asked. “Are you sick? You need medicine?? What???” “Ms. Pie...” Zecora started to say. “This is a river flow, and now I’m am feeling quite a blow.” She groaned as she held her tummy in pain. Pinkie Pie was confused at what she just said, but she instantly realized what this meant when she saw her in this state. “OH MY GOSH!” She said. “YOUR WATER BROKE! YOU’RE GOING INTO LABOR!” Pinkie Scurried about for ways to help, then stopped. “No! Zecora needs me!” She thought. “I can’t leave her like this!” She carefully picked up her wife and started out the door. “Don’t worry, Zecora! We’ll help you find a way to get you to the place....” she then notice Twilight and Applebloom heading up to her cottage, and not a minute toon soon! “Oh, good!” She said in relief. “Uh, Twilight? Applebloom? A little help?” The two ponies took notice of how Pinkie was carrying her wife and the state she was in and understood as they all rushed Zecora to the hospital in no time flat! They managed to get her in the delivery room Lickety-Split, and went back to the waiting room to wait. After a half hour or so they were called into the delivery room and were surprised to see Zecora struggling to maintain her breath as she breathed to get her kid. “How is she going to be, Doctor?” Applebloom asked in shock and worry. “Is she going to be alright?” “She’s going to be fine.” The nurse said. “Luckily, she has friends like you that got her there in jiffy. For now, all she needs to do is breathe and push!” “Come on, Zecora!” Pinkie Pie said as Zecora did her deep, and hard breathing. “All you needs to do is push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” “And breathe in and out!” Applebloom said with determination. “Keep pushing!” “Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” Twilight said. “And breathe in and out.” Applebloom said. Finally, Zecora Pushed with all her might as a head came out, followed by a body, hooves and last but not least, a tail. Twilight, Pinkie and Applebloom were all excited that the baby was out and she was about to be welcomed into the world. “Congratulations!” The nurse said. “You have just bored a baby girl!” “And, she’s an Earth Pony too!” Applebloom said in glee as she saw the baby start to move. “I don’t believe it!” Zecora said happily and surprised. “This is my dream! And the babies are so cute I want to treat her carefully like a toy!” The Baby was confused for a second until Pinkie spoke up. “Uh, Zecora?” Pinkie said. “I don’t think she knows what a toy is!” Zecora blushed in excitement and a teeny bit of embarrassment. The baby filly appeared to be a pink earth pony with a bubbly mane and tail like Pinkie’s, only black. She even had tribal markings on her like Zecora, because she was a Zebra. Her eyes were like Pinkie’s too. She was like a pony/zebra hybrid. “What should we name her?” Pinkie asked, turning to her friends for help. They thought hard about what name they could possibly give her. Finally, Applebloom spoke up. “How about Confetti Cauldron?” She asked. “Because she’s pink & bubbly like Pinkie Pie, and she has zebra markings like Zecora!” “Confetti Cauldron...” Pinkie thought for a while. “That sounds like a good name, considering she look a little bit like both of us!” Zecora Looked at her new daughter and smiled. “I agree, that is a great name for us to see.” “Welcome to the world, Confetti Cauldron.” Pinkie said calmly, as she carefully stoked her mane, while Zecora held it carefully for all to see. Twilight and Applebloom ooohed and aaaahed at the sight of her. Confetti Cauldron looked at her family and new friends and smiled so brightly she almost stuck her youngest out in joy like the cake twins. “Pie!” She said for the first time! Applebloom gasped. “Her first word!” She said, while tearing up happily. “I know Confetti Cauldron will have a great family like you two.” Twilight said while the filly’s moms smiled. “And she’ll have great friends like us.” She and Applebloom both smiled at the new filly, who smiled back too. “Our Daughter.” Pinkie said as she and Zecora looked at their daughter and smiled with delight. “I know you two will love her with all her heart.” Applebloom said. As they all smiled at how beautiful and cute she was. Confetti Cauldron was welcomed into the world to meet her parents and make new friends on the day she was born. > Applejack's Daughter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was working hard to the grindstone bucking the apples off their apple trees. She had already made her rounds during Applebuck season, so performing this task was no difficult. She had already made it with the apples arriving in the baskets. She was down the the last tree. She arrived to it, and measured the trajectory to the Apple bucking, and got her legs ready to kick the tree. “Almost there...” the farm mare thought to herself as she got into position for bucking. All of a sudden, she lost her balance as she felt a kick in her tummy, making her fall to the ground on her belly. Applejack got back up and wondered what kicked her belly. She got in position again, only this time a shot of pain rushed though her as she lost her balance again and held her tummy in pain. Every shot was like an arrow to the gut. Applebloom came outside to enjoy a great day, when suddenly she saw her big sister writhing on the ground in pain. She realized what this was. “AJ!!!” Applebloom shouted as she rushed over to her sister. “Applejack! What’s wrong?” She asked. “Do ya have hunger pangs? A stomachache? What?” “Oh, nothin much, Applebloom.” Applejack said, trying to hide her pain. “I’m just feeling a little off balance.” Just let me get back up there and get to bu—OooooooHhhhhh!” She groaned a little louder in pain as she fell to the ground, grasping her tummy to soothe the pain. “Oh mah gosh!” Applebloom said. “Applejack! Your water broke!” She shook her sister to see if she was okay! “Come on, Sis! Snap out of it! I’m the one that helped you realize y’all were pregnant!” She put her ear to her lungs to make sure she was breathing. Sure enough, she was. “She’s still breathing. Phew.” She thought out loud. “Ah guess the next logical step is...” She quickly let her sister drop to the ground and realized what she had to do. “BIG MAC! SUGAR BELLE! GRANNY!” She hollered. And just like that, the rest of the Apples got there in a hurry. “What’s goin on, Applebloom?” Granny Smith asked. “Mah sister’s goin into labor!” Applebloom said with worry in her voice. “We gotta get her to the hospital!” This threw the apples for a huge loop and were shocked at this. “Well, then! There’s no use dawdling! We gotta get our caboose over there and help Applejack!” Granny Smith said in shock and alarm. “Eeyup!” Big Mac agreed as he picked her up, with Applebloom helping him. “Let’s go!” Sugar Belle said as they all raced to the hospital. They made it inside and just in time too, since the nurse was just about to ask for another patient. “Doctor!” Applebloom said in alarm. “You gotta help us! Mah sister’s having a baby!” “Well, I’ll be!” The nurse said in excitement! “You’re just in luck! I was just about to take another patient in! Who’s the father?” “I’d rather not say yet.” Applebloom quickly lied. Nevertheless, the nurse bought the excuse. “Well then, I’ll bring her in the operating room for delivery.” The nurse said, wheeling Applebloom’s big sister away. “You can wait for a little bit until we call you up to come in.” As they saw Applejack get wheeled to the hospital, they felt like there was nothing else they could do, but wait. “Well, Ah guess that’s that.” Applebloom said as she and her family went and sat down on the lobby chairs. A few minutes later, Applebloom’s best friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle came in. “Applebloom!” They shouted in excitement. “How’s Applejack doing?” Sweetie Belle asked. The farm filly sighted. “Her water just broke and now, she’s in the operatin room for her delivery.” She said. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle both gasped at that. “So, Big Mac’s gonna be a dad, huh?” Scootaloo asked, nudging Big Mac while grinning at him. Big Mac blushed as he said. “Eeyup.” “I’m so really glad you could come here and check up on Applebloom.” Sugar Belle told them. “She’s a little worried...we all are...about how Applejack’s birthing would be.” “That IS something to be worried about.” Scootaloo said. “Darn tootin!” Granny Smith said in agreement. “I’d say, Applebloom here is nervous than a cricket on cider season. Ain’t that right, little feller?” She ruffled her mane as she said that. “Ah guess Ah am.” Applebloom admitted, still feeling nervous. “Whatever happens, Apple Bloom, we'll all be there for you.” Scootaloo said reassuringly to her friend. “Totally. Even though it could change everything for you, AND your family forever and ever!“ Sweetie Belle said, which made Applebloom a little more nervous. “Not helping!” Scootaloo said, pointing at her friend’s nervous state. Sweetie Belle blushed. Just then, the doors opened as the nurse came out. “You all can come see her now.” She said. The Apples and CMCs were feeling nervous as their blood ran cold. This was the moment of truth for Applejack and her kid. Granny Smith took in a deep breath and looked at her family. “There’s no turning back now.” She said to them as they all nodded in agreement. There was no turning back for any of them OR Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. They all went one by one inside the delivery room and saw Applejack with her eyes closed, and breathing really hard. They had shared a look of concern for their family member. Applebloom took a look at the monitor and saw that it was beeping. “Is she going to be okay, Doctor?” She asked worriedly. “She’s going to be fine.” The nurse said. “All she needs to do is push! And all you need to do is hope she does really well.” Applebloom was worried and Granny Smith, Big Mac, Sugar Belle, and Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle could tell by looking at her. Granny Smith took Applebloom into her arms and she, Big Mac, and Sugar Belle pulled her in for a strong, loving, embracing hug. They all smiled at Applebloom because no matter what happened, they would be there for her. “It’s alright, Applebloom.” Sugar Belle said softly. “We’re all here for you.” She kissed her on the cheek. “Applejack’s gonna be alright.” Granny Smith said softly and kind to her granddaughter. “Ah can feel it in mah bones.” “Eeyup.” Big Mac agreed as well. “No matter what happens, we’re all here for you.” They all hugged as tears of worry and happiness came out of their eyes. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle held each other tightly too, feeling worried as well. Applejack was still breathing and her eyes were shut. It looked like Applejack would remain in a deep sleep, breathing for her child to come out. But then, Scootaloo came up with a devilish idea as she grinned deviously. It had to work! She noticed one of the riddle apples that Spike and Discord planted in the hospital and picked it. She gasped in excitement as she swung it in front of Applejack’s belly. The rest of the Apples were a little confused by all this. Sweetie Belle groaned. “Ugh!” She said. “You getting an Apple? At a time like this?!” She was not happy, thinking that her friend was pranking. She took the Apple from Scootaloo using her magic. “Give me that!” She said as she threw it on the floor. However this would turn out be something Sweetie Belle shouldn’t have done. Because at that moment, the baby started to push from Applejack’s belly RIGHT out of it! Applebloom and her family took notice, as did The CMCs, and Applejack who just woke up from that push, and they all screamed! First, the Apples, then Sweetie Belle, then the nurse, then Applejack, then Scootaloo as they saw that push led to her being out of Applejack’s belly! At last, Scootaloo’s trick worked! Applejack finally had her baby come out. Scootaloo took notice and caught the baby quick before it could hit a wall. She gave the baby to Applejack who was smiling as she took the baby in her arms. “And, I’m gonna go wash my hands.” Scootaloo said after seeing that her hands were cover in baby slobber after catching it. “Well, at least we know it’s a girl.” Sweetie Belle said. She was right. It appeared to be a girl. Her coat was a brighter red than Big Mac, and her mane and tail were a little similar to Applejack and Applebloom’s. And her hooves were like Big Mac’s as well. “She’s right,” the nurse said. “It’s a girl! What would you like to name her?” Applebloom and her family looked at the babies and smiled with delight. The farm filly spoke up. “Ah think she’s the cutest Apple Ah ever saw.” Applebloom said as she teared up with joy. “I agree that they’re cute, Applebloom!” Sweetie Belle said as she saw the baby. “I really can’t wait to spend some time with her.” “She’s so adorable!” Sugar Belle said. “I’m so excited to play with her.” “Awwwwww...” Granny Smith said happily. “Ah think they’re so cute as well!” “Eeyup.” Big Mac said as he saw the new baby. “She’s our daughter, Applejack.” Just then, Scootaloo came in after washing her hands. “Sorry, I’m late. I just wanted to—“. She said as she saw how cute the new baby was. She smiled upon seeing Applejack’s daughter for the first time! “Oh my! What a beautiful baby.” She said sweetly. “Normally, I’m afraid of cuteness overload, but this one’s special.” She smiled and looked at her. “I’m such a sentimental slob.” They all shared a little giggle with her remark. “Ah agree with each and every one of you.” Applejack said as she held her baby and smiled. “What would like to name her, Applebloom?” Scootaloo asked. Applebloom, Sugar Belle, Granny Smith, and Big Mac all looked at each other and nodded. “Y’know, we never had a kid named Appleseed.” Applebloom said. “Ah think that’s a great name. Don’t you agree?” “I agree, Applebloom.” Sugar Belle said. “That really is a great name for this new cutie.” “Ah think you picked the right name, Youngin.” Granny Smith said to her, smiling. “We never had any pony named Appleseed, and I think this is a great place to start with that.” “Eeyup.” Big Mac said as he came over to Applejack. “Us too!” Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle said in unison. Applejack looked at her daughter and smiled with pure joy. Her family too. “Our daughter.” She said happily. “And Mah little sister.” Applebloom said. “Hey, you’re right!” Applejack said to her. “You’re a big sister now to her!” Appleseed finally spoke. “Howdy, y’all.” She said. Everyone gasped with excitement. “Her first word!” Sugar Belle said in excitement with the others cheering in agreement with her. “I think Appleseed will be a great addition to the Apple Family!” Scootaloo said while Sweetie Belle nodded in approval, as she looked at her and smiled very sweetly. “Ah think so too!” Applejack said as she saw her daughter smile at her and she smiled back. “She definitely will.” Granny Smith said as she and the Apples and CMCs both huddled around her. “Eeyup.” Big Mac agreed as they all embraced one another in this tender, heartwarming moment. Appleseed, The new member of the Apple family was not only Applejack’s daughter, but also Applebloom’s little sister as well! And they would have some new memories to share as they played and spent some quality time with they newest member. Appleseed would have a great time as she was welcomed into the most loving, hard working and down to country family in Sweet Apple Acres in Ponyville. > Flurry Heart's Brother (Twilight's Parents Get Roasted) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- At the Crystal Castle in the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence was wrapping up a day with delegates and heading back. She couldn’t wait another minute to spend some time with her wife. She made her way into her throne room to prepare for some quality time with Rarity as she had made a possible list of the fun things to do (just like Twilight makes her lists with things) and waited for her, excitement still brewing up in her body. Just then, she felt some leakage through her gut and felt like her tummy was tearing itself apart! She groaned in pain as she grabbed her tummy on the floor. She felt pretty uncomfortable at this feeling. At that moment, her wife came in. “Cadence, Darling!” Rarity said in excitement. “I’ve been boosting up the sales for my fashion line in the Crystal Empire, and so far, they are doing just fabulous! Now, then...what do you want to....” she yelped in shock at the sight of her wife writhing in pain on the floor! “Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to you?!” She then realized what Cadence writhing on the floor meant. “Oh my! She’s going into labor!” Rarity thought out loud. “Settle down, let’s not PANIC!” She knew what must be done. “Let’s get you to the hospital, Darling!” She lifted her wife up carefully as if not to drop her. She made her way out the door and saw a taxi right by the castle. Just in time! “Please, Sir.” Rarity told him. “My wife is going to have a baby anytime soon!”: “Really?” The taxi puller asked. “Well then, we better get you to the hospital fast!” Rarity and Cadence both went on the taxi. “Step on it!” Rarity said, as the taxi puller took them quickly to the hospital in the Crystal town. Meanwhile in Ponyville, Twilight closed her eyes and took a deep breath. The breeze tickled her nose. The sun was warm on her face. She sat with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Starlight Glimmer, Cozy Glow and Fluttershy on a plush chequered blanket with a picnic basket open and delicious fruit and baked goods laid out before them. Her friends laughed, ate sandwiches and cake, and shared stories. Butterflies flittered through the flower-filled meadow around them. The blue sky held but a few tufts of cloud and the trees slowly wafted in the soft, cooling wind. What a day. What a day for a picnic. What a day to be with friends. She wished Rarity was with them to see it. Twilight lifted an apple out of the picinic basket and idly rolled it around with a hoof. They had all expected to continue to see Rarity after Ponyville’s resident fashionista had become married to Princess Cadence and started a fashion business in the Crystal Empire, selling bundles of dresses to the Crystal ponies. And Twilight had been so proud since Rarity’s confession, It made her happy to see that her friend was in love. But it would have been nice to have her there on such a wonderful day. She closed her eyes again and imagined Rarity there with them. Rarity would probably be wearing a sunhat… yes, a big sunhat, and saying something about how fabulous the day was. No! Gorgeous. How simply gorgeous the day was. Twilight giggled. She then sighed. Something felt… off. It seemed like Rarity had been missing for an abnormally long time. Then again, it wasn’t like she had a control group for comparison. She had so few friends to begin with and, outside of Spike, she didn’t have any friends at all growing up. Twilight allowed a small smile and chuckled softly to herself. Oh yeah. There was one pony... A pattering of feet drew her from her thoughts. Spike came tearing in the group, skidding to a stop in front of Twilight. He was panicked, waving his arms about and trying to talk between breaths. “Twilight! I… it… the… Rar… bro… aahhhhh!” “Spike. What is it?” Twilight could see tears lacing the edges of his eyes as he gasped for air. She reached a hoof out to him but then recoiled as Spike belched out a scroll before collapsing onto the blanket. A letter from the Princess? Twilight grabbed it with her magic and unrolled it. “Dear Twilight,” she read out loud to the assembled ponies and heaving dragon, “I am sure you and the others are shocked to find out that Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is going into labor and is about to have her bun in the oven.” She stopped, and they all were shocked. They realized that Cadence’s water broke and that she was going to have the baby any second! “Oh my gosh!” Twilight shouted in alarm. “Holy crap, girls! Cadence is about to have her baby any second! Celestia only knows when!” “Well then, we better go to the hospital! And fast!” Starlight said in shock as she realized how big of a deal this was. “Come one, everypony!” She said to the rest. “Let’s go now!” And they rushed quickly to the train station and hopped on the train to the Crystal Empire. They arrived at the station in no time flat as they hopped off the train. They saw Shining Armor already there waiting for them. “Twily!” He said as he ruffled his sister’s mane. “Ah, How you doing, kid? How was the train ride? I–“ “BBBFF!” Twilight said as she hugged her brother. “I’m so glad you’re here. I heard Cadence’s water just broke and her baby is due any minute.” “It IS due any minute.” Shining said to Twilight and the rest. “Let’s go!” And they hi tailed it to the hospital and waited until they were able to get called up. As Twilight and her friends were waiting, she recited a personal mantra for waiting. “Ommmmm...” she chimed. “Ohhhhhhh mmmmy goodness, I can't handle this! Ooh!” She went back into panic mode, still worried about Rarity and Cadence. “Nothing is working! We just have to get it together! Cadence and Rarity’s happiness rests in your hooves.” She facehoofed in frustration and worry. “Ohhhh!” Just then, the entry doors opened and a Twilight lookalike with a silver and purple mane stepped through with a blue stallion with a dark blue mane came with. Twilight could instantly tell who those ponies were. “Mom! Dad!” She said as she went to hug them. “Twilight!” They both said as they hugged her back. “How you doing, Kiddo?” Night Light asked. “We came here to see the baby your friend and sister-in-law!” “We’re really so proud of them both.” Twilight Velvet chimed in agreement. “Oh, thank goodness you're here!” Twilight said to them. “I'm just so nervous about how this will turn out.” “What do you mean?” Twilight Velvet asked her daughter. Twilight sighed. “We’re about to go and see Rarity and Cadence give birth to their own baby for the first time!” She said calm, but nervous. “What if the baby doesn’t come?” “It'll be fine.” Cozy Glow told her as she came to her friend’s side. “Yeah, Egghead!” Rainbow Dash joined. “Just remember the most important thing.” “Smile?!” Twilight said, forcing her face into a smile. “Eh... no.” Spike said to her. “You're all family, too.” “Right!” Twilight said, releasing herself from that forced smile. Just then, the delivery room doors opened. “You all can come see her now.” The nurse said as she motioned for them to come in. Twilight exhaled as she turned to her friends and family who smiled and her, telling her that she has got this, and that they’d all be there for her. They all made their way inside one by one in the delivery room as they saw Rarity right by Cadence, who was doing her deep breathing on the hospital bed. “Is she going to be okay, Doctor?” Twilight asked with worry in her voice. “Yes.” The nurse said. “She is just pregnant. All she needs to do now is push. Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” “Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push! Push!” Twilight, her friends and her family all said at the same time to help encourage her. Finally, the baby started to come out, and already, everyone was pretty excited. “What do you see? What do you see?” Fluttershy asked. Twilight looked closely to see what was coming out of Cadence. “We got a horn, we got a head, we got shoulders, we got arms, we got, oh, look at the wings, oh, and a chest, and a stomach.” She was excited by how the baby looked. “It's a boy, definitely a boy!“ Twilight was right. The baby was indeed a boy as her friends and family all were happy and excited to see him. The baby was an alicorn, looking like Flurry Heart. Only, his coat, wings and horn were light blue, and his mane was like Flurry’s, but more masculine like and it was dark blue with a cyan hairline. “It IS a boy!” Pinkie said in excitement as she saw how cute the baby looked. She smiled in warmth. “What do you think we should name him?” “I was thinking... "Blizzard Fury". Rainbow Dash suggested. “Because Flurry Heart, the baby is a boy, and Blizzard?” “I think that’s a great name.” Cadence said upon looking at the new baby before their eyes. “What do you guys all think?” “Oh my gosh!” Twilight said in shock and excitement as she saw the new baby. “The Baby looks so cute!” “And, he even looks a little like Flurry Heart!” Starlight Glimmer said in agreement. “I know, right?” Pinkie said in agreement and questioning. “It’s crazy!” “The Baby looks nice!” Fluttershy said as she saw how cute he was. “The Baby looks awesome!” Rainbow Dash complimented. “Darn tootin!” Applejack said as she took off her hat. “She’s just the cutest little bundle of joy, you ever laid eyes on!” “I agree with you, Twily!” Shining said as he saw how cute Blizzard Fury looked. “Flurry now has a play date!” “She looks so beautiful.” Spike said in agreement. “Like a gem!” “The Baby looks terrible.” Cozy joked. Everyone was shocked at what she just said. “I’m just messing with you all. The baby actually looks great!” She laughed playfully. “Okay, Cozy.” Twilight said with a serious expression on her face. “But, don’t do that again.” “Okay, I won’t.” Cozy said to Twilight as they both smiled again. Twilight Velvet and Night Light had a playful devious grin in their faces as they decided to joke around with them. “No. We don’t agree with you guys.” Twilight Velvet jokingly said to them. “The Baby really looks stupid. And, as for you Cozy, you should’ve insulted the baby because he really does deserve it.” She gave a devilish playful smirk. “I agree with your mother, Twilight.” Night Light jokingly said to her. “I mean...look at him. He looks so stupid and ugly.” He also gave a devilish playful smirk with his wife as they were just joking. Everyone was completely shocked at what the Sparkles just said about the new baby. They didn’t know that they were joking. Twilight was the most shocked of all, because she couldn’t believe why her parents would even SAY such a thing about the new alicorn. “Mom! Dad!” Twilight said, with silent shock wiped across her face. “How could you SAY such a thing about the baby?!” Velvet and Night Light giggled. “We were only joking, Twilight.” Her mom said. “We didn’t mean to really insult her.” Blizzard Fury heard and saw the whole thing go down. He was shocked at why they would say such things about him! He didn’t even realize they were only joking! He got angry not at Twilight and her friends, but to his soon-to-be grandparents and was ready to let them have it! “You need to shut the fuck up!!!” He shouted at Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Everyone except Blizzard Fury was shocked that he handed their medicine back to Twilight’s parents. Twilight Velvet and Night Light we’re both shocked that they just got what they said handed back to them. “Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh!!!” Rainbow Dash said in excitement. “Did you guys hear what he just said?!” “Yeah!” Starlight said. “He just said his first words which were curses and roasted Twilight’s parents and now they’re crying like babies.” She giggled as they all saw Twilight’s parents blubbering their eyes out like babies. Twilight’s parents stopped crying for a second and were trying to process what had happened. “Nighty, what just happened to us?” Twilight Velvet asked her husband. Night Light was shocked. “I think we just got roasted.” He said as they started crying again. “And, by the new baby, too!” “I’m so proud of you for teaching my father a lesson.” Twilight said to Blizzard Fury. “For this, we’ll have a special party when we get home!” Everyone else nodded and smiled in agreement as they were ready to party with their new friend and family member! “Anyways, Mr. & Mrs. Sparkle...” Applejack said, turning to them furiously. “How dare you two disrespect the new babies! That’s it! You will be grounded when you get home!” “Good job, Blizzard Fury!” Rainbow Dash said in excitement as she flew up to him and gave him a hi-five. “You’ve shown your grandparents not to mess with you!” When they all went back to Twilight’s parents’ house, everyone was mad at Velvet and Night Light for insulting the new baby, even though it was only supposed to be a joke. The parents were crying before them like toddlers. “Mom and Dad!” Twilight said, angry at them. “We can’t believe you both insulted your new grandson! That’s it! You’re grounded grounded grounded grounded grounded until Blizzard Fury turns one year old! Go to your room and...” “...never...” Rainbow Dash added on. “...come...” Rarity continued, pointing her hoof at them accusingly. “...out!” Cadence finished giving them a really angry stare, more powerful than Fluttershy could ever give to disobedient creatures. The others pointed in the direction of the parents’ room while some of them gave their own version of “the stare!” Twilight Velvet and Night Light both went to their room, crying their eyes out like nopony’s business! As they went to their room, Twilight and her friends all shifted their attention to the baby, smiling at it and giving him all the praise he needed. “Don’t worry, Blizzard Fury.” Cozy said as she flew up to him calmly. “Your big mean grandparents are in their rooms and can’t hurt you anymore!” “Hey, Rarity!” Rainbow said. “I think we should get him some milk.” “Good idea, Rainbow Darling.” Rarity said as Fluttershy brought him some milk and poured it in a baby bottle and gave it to him. He sucked on his bottle of milk which looked really adorable. “Awwwwwwwwww......” everyone said at the sight of the baby drinking the milk. “Now, Flurry has a sister.” Cadence said as she smiled with delight. “I can’t wait for her to meet her new brother.” Starlight said as she looked at him drinking his milk and smiled as tears of joy welled up through her eyes. “We all must be so proud the new baby is finally here!” Applejack said as Pinkie nodded in agreement. “Yeah!” Pinkie said. “I really hope I can spend some fun time with him really super soon!” As Blizzard Fury put down his milk bottle, he looked up at Twilight who had just walked up to him and saw her friends all surround him, smiling in warm delight. “Welcome to the world, Blizzard Fury.” Twilight said letting out a tear of joy as she picked him up. “Stick with us!” Rainbow said, calmly and sweetly to her. “We’ll help you learn all there is to know about making a friend and having great friends and family there for you.” Warm tears came down Blizzard Fury’s eyes as he stayed in their embrace. They all had given one huge smile back to him, and he couldn't stop a smile coming to his own face. Blizzard Fury now would have friends and family that loved him and would spend a lot of time with him. He would also get to meet his new sister, Flurry Heart, and would “click” as they became lifelong siblings and companions to play with together. Also, he would meet a familiar Cutie Mark Crusader who would also be shocked that she would soon be related to an alicorn filly and alicorn colt in the Crystal Empire! But, that’s another story for now...
