"Did you get the percentages?" Blossomforth asked Fancy Pants.

"Princess Twilight was more than happy to tell me," Fancy Pants replied with a small smirk.

"What are they then?" Blossomforth asked anxiously.

"There is a 39.5% chance it will be a Pegasus, 40% chance it will be a unicorn, 20% chance it will be an earth pony, and a .5% chance it will be an alicorn," Fancy Pants explained.

"Great!" Blossomforth exclaimed, hoping for a pegasus.

Blossomforth smiled happily, thinking about her future foal. She was five months in and today she had an ultrasound that would tell her the gender and type of her unborn foal. Blossomforth walked out of her home in Ponyville, heading towards the doctors office. She glanced around at the small town while making her way to the office. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood today. The sun was shining and the weather team had done an excellent job clearing away the clouds. She arrived at the office and Nurse Redheart guided her into an examination room.

"Could you lie here in your back?" Nurse Redheart asked, gesturing to a long table.

Blossomforth nodded, climbing onto the table. She laid down on her back and watched as Nurse Redheart gathered her supplies. Nurse Redheart grabbed a tub of thick gel and a monitor that connected to a curved handle. Blossomforth had never gotten an ultrasound before and she was a little nervous, though she trusted the doctors and nurses completely. Nurse Redheart spread the gel over Blossomforth's swollen stomach, making her shiver from the cold. Nurse Redheart rubbed the curved handle over the gel, looking over the picture on the monitor. Nurse Redheart picked the handle up and turned to the monitor. The handle suddenly came clattering down to the floor. Nurse Redheart frantically picked up the phone and dialed a number, speaking in a hushed whisper. The only words Blossomforth could make out were. "Call Celestia immediately."

"What's wrong?" Blossomforth asked nervously, frantically looking around the room.

Before she could get an answer, she was transported by a unicorn staff member into the Canterlot Castle. Blossomforth opened her eyes after being teleported. She looked around, finding herself in a large round room that was completely enclosed, no doors or windows. Blossomforth knew only unicorns were capable of reaching or putting somepony in this room because of their magic. She sat down on the bench that surrounded the entire room, becoming more nervous by the second. At the same time, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and several doctors transported into the room to face Blossomforth.

"What's going on? Is something wrong? Why am I here?" Blossomforth asked, questions flying through her mind.

"I assure you all will be explained," Princess Celestia said in a calming manner.

"Nothing is wrong," Princess Luna added to help ease the expecting mother's nerves.

"Tell me why I'm here," Blossomforth demanded.

"You are here because we have discovered that your DNA, mixed with that of your husbands creates a genetic oddity. Between the genetics of both you and your husband, we have found a rare combination when your genes are combined," Princess Celestia explained.

"What does that mean?" Blossomforth asked with a puzzled look.

"My sister does have a way of speaking over other's heads. What she means is that the combination of you and your husbands genes create a certain pattern of DNA that creates an Alicorn. Another oddity we have found is that your DNA creates an especially fertile egg, giving you an increased chance of multiples," Princess Luna clarified.

"So I am going to have twin Alicorn's?" Blossomforth asked.

"Precisely," Princess Luna said with a smile.

"That has never happened in the history of Equestria. Luna and I were the only Alicorns to be born and not created. We however were not twins. It is of the utmost importance that both you and your goals stay unharmed. Do you understand?" Princess Celestia asked firmly.

"Yes," Blossomforth muttered, still in shock.

"Good, to ensure your safety, we will be keeping you under a magic protection spell and you will be under non-stop surveillance," Princess Celestia replied.

"Ok," Blossomforth agreed softly.

"I believe we are done here," Princess Luna said, casting a protection spell on Blossomforth and transporting her back to her home in Ponyville.

"Fancy Pants!" Blossomforth called from her room where she landed after being teleported.

"Blossomforth? Oh, I didn't even hear you come in. How did the check up go dear?" Fancy Pants asked, walking up the stairs and into their bedroom.

"I was transported here but that's beside the point," Blossomforth said, waiting for Fancy Pants to sit down.

"Then what are you so eager to tell me?" Fancy Pants asked.

"I got an ultrasound and the nurse found something unexpected. She had me transported to Canterlot were I was met with an audience with the royal sister and several doctors. They told me we are having twins!" Blossomforth exclaimed.

"That's lovely dear, but why did the Princesses need to be there just for twins?"

"Because they are Alicorns!" Blossomforth beamed, rubbing a hoof over her growing stomach.

Fancy Pants gasped in shock, smiling from ear to ear. He threw his arms around Blossomforth, gripping her in a tight embrace. This was the happiest he had been since he got married to Blossomforth. Fancy Pants slipped away from Blossomforth, gently rubbing her stomach. He could feel her skin, taught from the growing foals. Blossomforth gently shuttered at the loving touch of her husband.

"I love you Fancy Pants and I will always love our family no matter what happens," Blossomforth said eagerly.
