“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.

“Why I Love her”
Many ponies ask me many things, things like:
“Can you breathe fire?”
“How sharp are your fangs and claws little one?”
“How big will you be?”
“Why do you live with Twilight Sparkle?”
And many more questions like that and I always answer them the best I can, but over the years there was one pony who asked me something I couldn’t really answer, I was a simply child that time, a time before I even began to act as Twilight’s assistant.
“Why do you stay with Princess Celestia so much?”
“Because I love her!” was my simple answer.
“Why?”
I couldn’t answer to that; even then I knew I couldn’t simply say that it was because she is my mom, so I just turned around and ran to her, thinking about how much I loved her and why, when I arrived at her side she was talking with some ponies I don’t remember, but I ran to her.
For a moment she stopped and looked at me just soon enough to see me jumping to her forelegs, she caught me in the air with her wings and hugged me tightly against her neck, I felt her warm embrace as I cried against her, I remember it was the first time we showed our true relationship to anypony.
“Shhh, it’s alright my son” she whispered to me “I’m here for you my baby, mommy is here for you”
I couldn’t say anything, I only hugged her as hard as I could crying on her neck, barely mumbling how sorry I was I couldn’t answer why I loved her so much.
But now, I can answer to that freely.
I remember, somehow I can remember some fragments when I was inside my egg, I remember it as if was yesterday. I felt so cold, alone and sad, for some time it always felt like that in the darkness of my egg but slowly there was something……..warm, warm and soothing coming inside.
I don’t know how much time it passed but I felt many things many times, most of the time I felt that same warmness around me, each time stronger and stronger, but I also felt sadness that made me sad, happiness that made me happy, anger that made angry to nothing really, that and many more things until I felt something inside me, a desire.
I wanted to be out!
I wanted to be near the source of that warmness, that sadness, that happiness, that soothing something, that everything! But I couldn’t come out, I simply couldn’t come out and that was making me so sad, I wanted to be out of my egg and to finally be next to that thing that made me feel so many wonderful things but I couldn’t even move.
Then one day something hit me like, that same something that had hit me before trying to take me away from my egg but this time, this time it was strong and then for the first time in my life I saw light!.
I can’t remember much of what happened after I first saw the light but I know I felt……lonely, the thing I wanted to be near with wasn’t there, I wanted to be near it but now that I was finally out of my egg I couldn’t even find it, then something picked me up and I fell asleep, feeling safe on that strange embrace.
When I woke up I saw many colors in front of me and I also felt than thing I wanted to be next to, I could feel it, it was the same soothing presence I knew so well, now that I was out of my egg I could finally move, I remember touching something soft and warm with my feet, feeling the same thing with my tail and grabbing something nice and silky with my claws, looking up I saw a tall white something that suddenly looked down to me.
It was the first time I saw the face of the thing I wanted to be near of, I didn’t know what to think of, what was it? Who was it? Was it dangerous?, Was it friendly? Why was it smiling to----.
That smile, that’s what I wanted to see, that's what I wanted to know, that’s how I knew that the thing that was holding me was not only safe but it was the thing I was wishing for to be next to, I tried to show it was I was feeling, all the time feeling that soothing warmness against me, making me feel happy and safe.
I remember it was saying something I couldn’t understand at that time but I remember that it was feeling sad, so I called out at the thing.
“Gah!”
The thing looked down to me and water filled its eyes and I could feel sadness and something else I didn’t know, then the warmness increased and that made me feel happy and safe again, again it said something I couldn’t understand but the thing continued to talk and hold me I felt that thing was a she and that that she was something important to me, I just felt like there was something missing.
I felt tired and ready to sleep so I held onto her, demanding an embrace to sleep peacefully, again she said something I couldn’t understand but I felt……..love, yeah, that was it, the warmness and soothing thing was love, but there was something still missing, a name for her, a name for the giver of such nice feeling, only one name came to mind.
“Mommy”
I chuckled, Why I love Celestia? Why I love my mother?, simple.
I love her because she loves me unconditionally, I love her because she protects me and because she is not afraid to put herself in danger to do so, I love her because she puts her trust into me and believes in me, I love her because she is proud of me and because she is proud to call me her son, me, a stranger that arrived at her side by the cruelty of destiny and gave us both a chance to be so happy together.
So it is now, after so many years, where now I even stand at her same height, looking over Canterlot watching a sunset much like out first sunset together that I lean close to her and embrace her, kissing her left cheek lovingly.
“What was that for, Spikey?”
That nickname, the one she only uses when we are alone, I love it “I love you, Mom”
My mother was stunned for a moment before embracing me tightly, just like when I was younger, this time however I can return the embrace with the same intensity.
So I did, as we fell into the ground of her balcony falling asleep slowly in the process.
“I love you too, my son”
-----------------------------------******************************
Princess Twilight Sparkle was walking to the chambers of her once mentor for some “tips” on how to deal with ‘idiotic-greedy nobles’.
Opening the doors to her chamber she saw a scene that made her smile warmly, a scene much like the one she had stumbled upon on her early years as her personal student, one that at the time she didn’t understand.
The scene of a mother and a son embracing each other in the arriving night.
The end.
