"I simply can't accept this Cadence. We don't have room for another princess."

"but Celestia! this is my baby we're talking about!"

Princess Celestia was just informed that Cadence and Shining Armor were having a baby, and Princess Celestia doesn't want any more royalty ever again, except for herself and Luna.

"your majesty," Shining Armor started.

"we can't get rid of the baby just like that"

"oh, we can, Shining," said Princess Celestia. "with magic."

Cadence started getting teary.

"If you aren't going to get rid of the child, then i will!" said Princess Celestia in deep anger.

"NO! i won't let you dispose of my baby!" Cadence bursted in to tears.

"then you must go! Shining Armor, i don't care what happens to you. Cadence, you must be far from Equestria when this baby is born. that is final."

letting out nothing but sobs, Cadence ran out of the room. Shining Armor followed. Later, at their house, they were trying to decide what to do.

"where will we go? how will we survive? how will we keep the baby safe?" Cadence said to Shining Armor.

"Cadence, sweetie, you have to calm down now, we'll figure it out."

"how can i calm down when we're getting kicked out of Equestria with our baby?! i CANT calm down!"

once again she burst into sobs.

"we need to tell someone! we, we, we, we can start a rebellion and everything will be okay! and Celestia won't be there to control every pony with all her new laws!"

"oh Cadence. We can't just go start a rebellion. its not as easy as you think... But! i do know the perfect person to tell. but we can't tell Celestia. we're not supposed to tell anyone."

"well," Shining Armor said as he tried to put up a faint smile, "off to Ponyville we go."

"Twily!"

"Shining! what are you doing here? did Princess Celestia make your baby disappear?"

"no," answered Cadence, "but i'm being banished from Equestria if i'm keeping the baby."

"oh! no no no, that can't be right! you can't just leave!" Twilight said in dismay.

"thats why we came to you." said Shining Armor, we need a plan.

"okay, i have the books, and spells." said Twilight.

"i have the food." said Shining Armor.

"and i have everything else." said Cadence.

they headed to the Everfree forest. If anyone saw them, they might report to Celestia about the royal baby. Twilight lead them to Zecora's house. when they were welcomed by Zecora, they were given a spell for hiding. Zecora let them spend the night.

"*yawn* i couldn't sleep last night." said Cadence sleepily.

"me either." said Shining Armor.

"wait." said Cadence. her eyes opening wider.

"where's-"

"Twilight!!" finished Shining Armor.

Zecora had no clue where Twilight was. she was gone.

"i see a note!" shouted Shining." it says, 'oh cadence. i thought you were smarter than that. running off to twilight? not so smart. i see E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. i have the orb. and with twilight, i can see past your silly little hiding spell.'... Celestia has Twilight!'

"we have to go back!"

"to Canterlot?" asked Cadence.

"yes."

"well shining, I- *oof*" cadence felt funny.

"eh, my stomach.. it feels weird."

"this can't be good."
