“Daddy, where are we going?” You just gave a small chuckle, feeling your colt's hooves hold tightly around your neck as you flew towards the hospital, a sense of completeness flowing through you. It didn't take you long to reach the building, and you shifted Freedom Bolt to the floor, ushering him through the door. “Is mommy hurt?”

“No, she's fine, now come along.” You led him along the corridors, greeting the ponies as you made your way to your wife's room. You could hear her beautiful humming through the door, and slipped Bolt onto your back again. You took a deep breath and entered, seeing your mare lying on the bed, a bundled up blanket in her forehooves. “Go on, take a look.”

Your colt hopped over to the bed and slowly made his way closer, gently peeling the blanket back, revealing a sleeping pegasus filly. Fluttershy was smiling softly down at him as he stared googly eyed at her, then reached up and prodded her on the cheek, making her squirm. “I... have a sister? Can... I hold her?”

Fluttershy shifted a little, sitting up and pulling Bolt against her. The colt's forehooves slowly accepted the precious package, the filly squirming around until she settled against his chest. Your muzzle was lifted away from them and you found yourself in a passionate kiss, then climbed up alongside your mare. Nurse Redheart had said you could stay as long as you wanted, until Fluttershy was ready to go home. “What’s her name?”

You nodded to Fluttershy, who bent down and nuzzled the top of your four year old’s head, causing him to giggle. “Her name is Amber Sky.” Bolt repeated the name under his breath a few times, then pulled her closer against his chest, nuzzling her cheek.

“Welcome to the Runner Family, Amber Sky. I’m your big brother, Freedom Bolt.”
