A/N: This is a present-tense first-person-narrated tale taking place during the events of "The Crystal Empire". A story with an unclear moral, little excitement, thin character development, rehashed plot, and a foregone conclusion. The most bland, pointless FiMFic I've ever written. Read at your peril.

Twilight Sparkle is pregnant - and nopony is more surprised than she is. Confronted with the overwhelming responsibility of motherhood, the young mare has to decide whether she is truly up to the task of being a single parent.

But, as with everything Twilight has done in her life, the circumstances and decisions she must manage are anything but simple.

In the decision to trade one life for another, the most serious casualty may be everypony’s ethics.
