It had been a week since Luna had adopted her eight children of the night and Sunset had come though the mirror. The Alicorns had moved the Crystal city practically next door to Canterlot. Sunset Shimmer had become the daughter of the Alicorn of Day, so she was known as the Daughter of Day. Night Mist, Peanut Butter, Shadowmane, Tornado Blitz Fire Star, Autum Breeze, Onyx, and Sky Hooves had settled into their new lives, not knowing if they would ever return to their original world. Celestia, well, she had to be taught a lesson for what she did, but she knew it was something she deserved, even though somepony else also deserved the fate Celestia had dealt them. Discord had finished his errand of using his potion on the ponies of Equestria, with no ill effects so far. Lauren and the other Alicorns were still a little unsure of his motives, but so far, what he did seemed to turn out for the best.

None of the ponies of Equestria found it odd that the Element bearers were now little foals or foals on the way, or that a certain dragon had become a pony. Apparently, they also thought that Luna's adopted children had were her long lost little ones that she found, but because of certain things that had happened, she had to go through the legal process and adopt them back into her family by paper, and Cadence helped with the signing, since the "father" was no where to be found. Luna and her Alicorn family found that a bit odd, even her children, but whatcha gonna do, Discord is the lord of Chaos, even though it's for the better, he likes to do things in chaotic ways. Some things just never changed, even though he was reformed.

Anyways, back to the present, we find ourselves with Cadence and Shining armor, and their cute little Princes. Flash and Spike were playing wither their stuffed ursa minors and whacking them at each other playfully. Shining chuckled at his adopted sons, Cadence just smiled motherly. She had gotten far too attached to them to ever want to give them up in the future. Luckily Discord hadn't changed the fact of Cadence adopting her boys, but had erased the memory of Spike ever being a dragon to begin with from the mortal ponies, including Shining Armor, Cadence just had to go along with it since she was unable to be affected by the potion.

Today, they were heading to the Sparkle house to visit Shining's parents. Velvet wanted to see her grand-kids and Nightlight wanted to have some father-son time, and maybe some time with his grandsons. Soon, they were at the door and Shining rang the bell. The door opened to reveal Velvet at the door. "Shining, Cadence, it's great to see you two again and, oh my, Cadence. Why didn't you tell me you are expecting?" She said as she noticed Cadence's rounded figure.

"Sorry, this little one on the way sort of popped out and surprised us," Cadence admitted.

"Well, I suppose with all the things you had to take care of, it was just a slip of the mind, and I can understand that dear. But you Shining, you should have given us some news. I know you're her husband and a prince now, but you know that you can take the time to forward us a letter to tell us about this," Velvet scolded her son.

"Right. Sorry. My bad," Shining stuttered as he scratched his neck.

"Well, it's in the past, come in, I was just about to make tea and hot coco along with my delicious brownies," Velvet said.

"Ooh, yum. That's definitely something I crave today," Cadence said.

"Yesterday it was watermelons. The day before that it was Seasalt Ice cream, and the day before that it was cinnamon roles," Shining Armor stated.

"Well, what do you expect Shining, she's eating for two. When the little one in her tummy demands something, Mama's gonna demand the same. It's a bond they share," Velvet explained before heading to the kitchen.

"Yep, and right now, this little passenger is demanding brownies, and boy are they kicking today," Cadence said.

"Probably wants to get out to meet it's brothers," Nightlight says as he walks in from his personal studies.

"Hello dad, how are you feeling," Shining asked.

"Oh, much better. Doctor said if I take two weeks off from all these meetings with those snotty nobles, I'll be back to full strength in no time," Nightlight informed them.

"I keep telling him to take it easy when trying to stand up for the common ponies, but he don't wanna listen. He keeps thinking that if he shows any sign of easing up his arguments, the nobles will get bolder and try to take away his right of nobility," Velvet said.

"I can assure you that is not the case. You are one of the few ponies who can give the other nobles a good scare, and the fact that they know you and Velvet are good friends of the Alicorn family, that scares them even more. They wouldn't dare try to take away your nobility, nor would they do anything to try and end your life, because they know that will bring the wrath of the Alicorns on them. So I will advise you to take it easy on the arguments when you get back out there. And don't worry, my sisters and I will make sure to keep the other nobles in check. And if they want to challenge us, well, they can take it up with our mother," Cadence told Night Light.

"And how is Luna doing with her 'Angels of the Night'?" Velvet asked.

"Oh she's grown attached to them ever since they returned to her life. She barely ever lets them out of her sight. And as a bonus, as I'm sure you have heard, I have become their second mother. So not only are they my niece and nephews, their also my sons and daughter, so now Flash and Spike have some alicorn siblings to play with when they can," Cadence said.

"Well, I suppose that makes us their grandparents. Wow the family is growing large," Nightlight said.

"Is that another crack about my figure?!" Cadence bellowed.

"Eep! No no no. You misunderstood, you misunderstood," Nightlight said.

"I'm providing for two here, and the fact that I am so large is because my little one is growing and I don't need you to have that kind of attitude around me!" Cadence scolded.

"Wow, sweetie, breath, breath," Shining said.

Spike and Flash had hid behind their grandmother while their mother had been blowing off steam. Cadence calmed down and cleared her throat, "I'm sorry, Nightlight, It's these mood swings, and they've been getting really extreme. Even my sisters suggested a brake from meeting with my subjects because of it," Cadence said.

Nightlight straightened out his mane after being blasted by the old Canterlot voice and replied, "All is forgiven. I understand."

"Trust me, I was ten times worse when I was pregnant with Shining Armor," Velvet said, not mentioning it had been even worse with Twilight when she was her mother.

Flash and Spike crawl out from behind Velvet and Look at their mother. "Hello my little ones, sorry Mama got angry," Cadence apologized.

They crawled back to her and nuzzled her. She then set them under her wing so they could nurse. "I can see that you're going to have a hassle when you have to feed three of them," Velvet said.

"Well, Spike here is now at that stage where I can feed him some foal food and get weened off gently, and Flash isn't too far behind," Cadence said.

"Aww, they're growing up so fast," Velvet said.

Soon Spike and Flash finished their meal, and Cadence burped each of them before letting them get some time with their grandparents. They talked and played with the little ones until naptime and soon the boys were asleep in their little play pen that Shining had set up for them and had used a spell to prevent them from getting out should they wake up and try to sneak off. Soon Cadence started feeling some pains in her abdomen, wincing every so often. Shining soon took notice and asked, "Cadence, are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine I just. Aaaaah!" Cadence's screamed as her water broke.

"Oh Sweet Celestia, Mom, Dad, the baby is coming!" Shining called.

"We need to get her to the hospital!" Nightlight said.

"No time, we need to get her upstairs to the guest bedroom. I did it with Shining, we'll do it with this little one coming. Shining help me with her, Nightlight grab a bucket of warm water, a towel and a blanket," Velvet ordered.

"On it," Nightlight replied.

"Cadence. Start your breathing," Velvet said more gently.

Cadence was soon doing her breathing technique and Shining and Velvet helped her upstairs. Once there, Cadence was squeezing Shining Armor's hoof. Shining was screaming internally. "Ooooh, you have no idea how bad this hurts," Cadnece said.

"No... Arguement..." Shining managed to say through his teeth.

Night Light was soon in the bedroom with the water, towel and blanket. "Alright now Cadence, I need you to push as hard as you can."

After about 20 minutes, the screams of the Alicorn of Love had been replaced by the new vocals of a little foal. Cadence was soon calming down a little Alicorn who had had the same mane style and eyes as the pony she once knew, but now her fur resembled that of her new mother and her mane was a combination of her new mother and new father. She had both wings and a horn. "Oh, my little Twilight," Cadence said.

"Aw, what a sweet name. Princess Twilight Sparkle. Has a nice ring to it," Velvet said.

"Hmhmhm, indeed it does," Cadence said as she looked down at the little sleeping blessing in her forelegs.

"Looks like Autum Breeze isn't the only little girl in the family anymore," Nightlight said.

"No she isn't. I-I'm sorry about the bed," Cadence apologized.

"Oh don't be, we can always replace that. besides, how many ponies get to say that a princess was born in their house?" Velvet said.

They all chuckled and soon heard the hoofsteps of Shining as he walked in with two little sleepy princes rubbing their eyes. "Well hello there sleepy heads, come meet your new sister," Cadence said.

Shining laid them on the bed and they crawled to their new sister who was now sucking on her hoof as she slept. The family dawwed at the scene, knowing they would need to get to the castle soon to make the announcement that the new princess was born.

Author's Note

Done, well, I hope that wasn't too extreme for anyone, but I had to bring Twilight out sooner or later. I am so sorry it took me so long to get the chapter out, but you know how the Navy is. I have a few more things that the potion that Discord concocted has done, but those will be revealed in later chapters. This story is not just going to focus on the authors pulled into the story, including myself, it will also focus on the other foals and their families. I hope you all enjoyed it and weren't to disturbed by the birth scene. Now I have another story that requires my attention and I'll tell you th- *bubbles float in front of me.* BUBBWES! *I chase after them.*

Lauren: Sorry sweetie, Grandma can't have you spoiling things for your other stories. Now rememeber to leave a positive comment and constructive criticism from my grandson and to tune into the stories of my other grandchildren, Shadowmane, Peanut Butter, Tornado Blitz, Onyx (a.k.a. Super-Stallion), Sky Hooves and Autum Breeze. Have a good day.
