Being an Angel

After their lunch AJ checked the time to see that it was later than she thought; it turns out their lunch was more of an early dinner, with everything that happened that day it was almost six in the afternoon.

“Well Savin’, y’all ready to head home now or do ya want to go see if we can find mah other friends and say hi?” AJ looked at Saving; who was cleaning up their trash.

“I want to meet more of your friends!” Saving said with a smile on his face that seemed to show more joy than that of a certain pink ponies smile.

AJ motioned saving to get on her back, but he shook his head ‘no’ and started to walk next to AJ trying to hold her hoof with his while walking. AJ thought that he looked so cute and could not believe that he thought of her as his mother; though unknown to AJ she was the only mother Saving had known.

His mother had died before child birth; she was hit by a carriage while trying to cross a street in Canterlot. She was on her way home from shopping and did not see the carriage that was moving furniture from one home to another. The carriage had almost stopped in time, but was about five seconds too late and hit her; she was rushed to the hospital immediately of course. She died soon after she got to the Hospital, but the doctors noticed that she was ten months pregnant; a few seconds after she died; they noticed the foal inside her was still alive. They immediately performed a C-section on her corpse and pulled out the foal; he was alive, but barely and was missing a wing (due to being two months early). He was put into the maternity ward; while they pulled all the records they could on the mother to find contact information for a husband. Once they found her records they got in contact with the husband as fast as possible and told him the news of his wife’s death and the birth of his new born son.

He made his way up to the Hospital as fast as his wings could carry him; he could not believe what he was just told. He arrived at the Hospital; breathless and tried. He ran up to the check-in counter and said

“I’m ------- ------, I was told that my wife was hit by a carriage and was here.” He said trying to calm himself down.

“I’m sorry sir; your wife died almost 30 minutes ago. *a short silence between the two* But the foal she was pregnant with survived and is in the maternity ward, I can take you to him if you want.” Said the mare behind the counter.

“No, I cannot see him; I would not be able to stand it- Please put him up for adoption and make sure he is seen to a good home.” He said with sadness and evident regret in his voice.

The mare shook her head ‘yes’ and offered “I can take you to your wife- So you can say you goodbyes.”

“Yes please” He said almost breaking into tears.
