Ooops I'm pregnant

Celestia looked around the castle's board room. The regal décor was in her opinion, very sophisticated but Luna had begged her to take it down hundreds of moons ago. Luna always said that it was tacky, but Celestia thought it looked quite smashing. Around the room there was colourful banners, six to be exact. There was a banner for each member of royalty; Luna, Cadence, Twilight, Shining Armour, the young Prince Blueblood and one for herself.

All six members were to arrive in about thirty minuets. This was the first time in about two years that all six princes and princesses would be in the same room, and Celestia was rather disappointed that the reason was her fault. She really felt bad, especially because they would have to discuss a rather ticklish subject: babies.

As Celestia started to feel upset again, Luna flew in through the large balcony at the back of the room.

"Good morning sister," said Luna.

Celestia noticed that Luna's normally calm tone seemed a bit forced. Luna was hiding something, and Celestia was almost sure she knew what. Luna's stomach was also a bit rounder than usual.

As Celestia started to reply to Luna, Cadence and Shining Armour entered through the big double doors.

"Hi Aunt Celestia! Hi Aunt Luna!" said Cadence in a very excited tone.

"You'll never guess what great news we have!" said Shining in an extremely enthusiastic tone.

Celestia glanced over at Luna who back away to her chair at the other side of the room. Neither of the alicorns were clueless, and Cadence looked very happy, for a newly wed.

"Well," began Celestia, "I guess you'll have to tell us after the meeting."

Cadence and Shining looked disappointed.

Before anyone could continue the conversation, Twilight walked into the the large room. She looked terrible; her mane was a mess, her feathers were crooked and she had bags under her eyes.

"Up late reading again sister-in-law?" giggled Cadence.

"What? Oh...um sure?" said Twilight very unconvincingly.

Celestia looked at all three alicorns. Luna and Cadence's stomachs looked bigger. Actually, thought Celestia so dose Twilight's. Great, the one pony she thought she could count on not to get knocked up...

Blueblood gracefully entered the room, with only minuets to spare. He had changed a lot since Rarity showed him a piece of her mind. In fact, he was quite possibly one of the most courteous stallions Celestia knew.

Celestia then announced the beginning of the emergency meeting.

"Alight," she began once everyone was in their chairs. Luna at one end, Celestia herself at the other. Princesses on one side, Princes on the other.

"I won't try and butter this up, because I can't ," Celestia felt tears in her eyes.

Suddenly, Cadence interjected,"Please Auntie! We have some really big news!"

Celestia almost decided not to tell them after looking at the excitement in Shining and Cadence's eyes. But then she looked around the table. Luna was tired and looked like she had been crying for months, Twilight looked as if she'd seen a ghost and Blueblood looked preoccupied and kept glancing out the window.

"Your all pregnant." Celestia was surprised by her words as the hung in the now silent air.

Cadence looked shocked, Twilight started to cry her head against the table, Luna looked expressionless as tears fell to the floor, and Blueblood looked as if his world was over.

Cadence was the first one to speak,"Celestia! That was my news! How could you!" She started to sob.

"MY NEWS!"

Her words hit Celestia like knifes. But that was just the beginning.

Luna looked up from her chair and glared at Cadence."Really? Your upset because you can't tell everyone your pregnant? Well guess what? I don't have a husband to hold my hoof so why don't you have your pity party somewhere else, because everyone else in this room has bigger problems to worry about!" yelled Luna.

"Leave my wife alone, you monster!" yelled Shining as he sent a spell towards Luna.

Just before it hit her, Twilight created a force field around Luna. The spell disintegrated into the magical barrier.

Twilight glared at her brother,"Luna's right! You two have it perfect so shut up and f*uck off!"

Celestia was annoyed. This was not the plan. Right now they were supposed to be yelling at her, not each other.

"Enough!" her yell echoed in the now silent room.

"You should all be ashamed, fighting amongst your selves like this! And Shining, one more spell out of you and your out, UNDERSTOOD?"

They all looked at her, each of them slowly losing any anger that had previously resided in their hearts. Celestia then told them about the curse. It took only about five minuets, as Celestia spoke quickly with lots of tears trickling down her face.

"Now," she said. "It is time to take action. We will start with Cadence and Shining Armour."

Nobody said anything. Some felt upset, angry and some were even happy. But, despite how they felt, the royals stayed quiet.

" First of all we must address the fact that you all broke one of the biggest rules for Equestrian royalty: no sex before marriage. I am very disappointed in all of you. I can't stress enough how aggravating this is."

"But, what's done is done and we need to sort out some kind of solution, because this is one of those very serious rules that can ban you from the kingdom."

"Cadence you and Shining Armour are safe and you are both free to go. I respect you if you never want to speak to me again." said Celestia, looking Cadence in the eye.

"Thank you." said Cadence. Shining was crying, a smile on his face. Cadence continued,"We couldn't have a foal so this... this fixed everything. Thank you."

The happy couple exited the room, the large doors slamming behind them.

Celestia looked across the table at Luna."Luna, I'm assuming the baby is with him?" she asked.

Luna looked at the floor and nodded.

"I might be able to add a decree for an exception for engaged ponies, but until then I need you to stay away from the public. Understood?"

Luna looked up at her sister. She thought for sure she would be on the moon again at this point. She left her chair and flew over to her sister, embracing her in a hug.

"Thank you sister, thank you." Luna spoke as she cried onto Celestia's multi-coloured mane.

"You are dismissed Luna, stay the night if you want to." said Celestia.

"I will sister." said Luna as she gently closed the door behind her.

Celestia turned to Blueblood. "Well, what about you? Which mare is it?"

Blueblood started to cry. "There was two of them!"

Oh no. Thought Celestia. No, no, no!

"Who are they Blueblood?" she asked, slightly nervous.

"Fleur de lis and..." he paused looking over at Twilight. She was going to be very angry.

"And?" Celestia said now very nervous.

"Rarity." he said in a whisper.

Celestia was very upset. Her distant nephew would have to be banished, no doubt about it. There was no way she could organise two weddings for one stallion. There was also no way that Rarity could be banished, she was a very important pony being a former element of harmony bearer. Fleur could be banished but, that didn't feel right. It wasn't fair and Blueblood was in trouble. He seemed to know that.

"They both know and they both know about each other." he said after the short silence.

Twilight sat feeling very upset. Why hadn't Rarity told her? Dose their friendship not matter?

Celestia then spoke"Blueblood, I will have them sent for and we can discuss your fate. For now, you are dismissed."

Twilight was the last pony left in the room. Celestia looked at her star pupil. Twilight had tears in her eyes.

"I'm gonna get banished aren't I?" she asked tears falling from her face.

Celestia wanted to hug Twilight and tell her everything would be ok, but she stayed in her seat.

"No Twilight, you are far too important to banish, and I don't know what I would do with out you."

Twilight then spoke in a quiet whisper. "Thank you. The father is... Flash Sentry ."

Celestia nodded. Thank goodness it was a high ranked guard. Then, at least the romance would be socially acceptable.

Celestia looked at Twilight,"Twilight, I would like you to stay in Canterlot until things have been sorted out. I will tell Rarity to bring your things over. Understood?"

Twilight smiled. "Thank you."

As Twilight exited the room, Celestia was lost in her thoughts again. Luna she would save by creating the new decree (dated a month ago), Twilight could be married, Rarity and Fleur would just say nothing about the father, Blueblood, however would have to leave. Celestia felt a sicking feeling in the pit of her stomach. It really did suck being the decision maker of Equestria. No matter how hard she tried somepony was always going to get hurt.
