The Royal Empire Meetings

It was a normal day in the Crystal Empire for Princess Cadence, who was on her throne, with Shining Armour who was talking to a Royal Guard.

"Cadence?" Shining asked, seeing his beloved wife stand up and walk over to him and the Royal Guard.

"Yes, dear?" Cadence answered, questionably.

"Celestia has requested us to go over to Canterlot for a visit.

"A visit?" Cadence asked, suddenly sounding rather happy.

"Uh, yes?..." Shining said, completely casually.

"Alright then, I can take you both." The Royal Guard said, speaking up.

"Thank you." Shining Armour said, bowing to him, making the Guard smile for once.

"Alright, follow me?" The Guard said, walking outside and heading towards the SkyChariot.

"As I said, Thank you." Shining said once again.

"No need to thank me, as a Royal Guard, it is my duty, to serve Royalty, and I will not fail to do so." The Guard answered firmly.

Both Cadence and Shining Armour took a seat in the SkyChariot, and the Guard hooked himself onto the reins, and took off.

When the two ponies got to Canterlot, they saw Princess Celestia, smiling at them as they arrived.

"Hello Celestia!" Cadence said, running over to her aunt.

"Hello Cadence, Shining." How are you both doing?"

"Good!" Shining answered, smiling back at Celestia.

"Good, follow me now?" Celestia asked, walking back inside the castle hallway.

"So, Celestia, how is your dear sister, Princess Luna?" Shining asked, looking around as if to see where Luna was.

"Oh, she's doing well, thank you for asking" Celestia smiled happily as she said this.

Now, as I was saying, follow- Ahhhh!!!" Celestia was cut off by a blue blur running down the hallway, only to see that it was in fact Princess Luna.

"Luna?!" Celestia called out to her sister.

"Not now Tia!!" Luna yelled back.

"Is Luna okay?" Cadence asked, sounding concerned.

Celestia paused for a moment before speaking.

"The more I think about it, the more I realize that Princess Luna hasn't been acting.... Well.... Herself lately..." Celestia answered, a worried look starting to form on her face.

"We'd better see if she's okay!" Shining Armour said, beginning to run towards were Princess Luna had gone.

"Yes, let's go see if my dear Sister Luna is alright!" Celestia said, following Shining, with Cadence close behind.

Luna's Findings

As Princess Luna runs down the Castle halls, she hears the sounds of two galloping Princesses close behind.

Luna looked behind her, and saw the two Princesses, not far behind her, so she flared open her wings, opened a nearby window with her magic, and took off.

"I mustn't let them catch me" Luna thought, as she sped off towards the Castle Courtyard, being careful to not leave a single trace behind.

As the Night Princess sped towards the Courtyard, she noticed that the Sun was setting on the horizon.

Luna sighed, as she ran to a nearby corner, hid, and began to activate her magic.

"Alright, lets do this quickly."

The Moon began its slow accent into the dimming daylight, and settled into place after a few minutes.

"Well, now, that the Moon is done rising, I might as well be careful not to worry my Dear Sister.

"Luna opened her wings once again, and flew up to the very top of the Castle, and stood on top, smiling as the gentle rays of the dimly glowing Moon hit her.

Luna's peaceful moment was suddenly ruined by the sounds of clanging armour.

"Celestia, don't tell me your sending out your Guards to find me...?" Luna said in disbelief.

"You six!" Go and find Princess Luna, Celestia's orders!"

Luna peaked over the edge to see the Guard Commander ordering six guards to find her.

"Oh... No..." Luna thought, as she cowered down on the roof, not wanting to be seen.

"As we shall get out of here, now!" Luna flared her wings and swiftly flew higher into the sky, and dove, gaining speed, so she wouldn't be seen when she enters the Castle.

"Okay, here I shall go." Luna said, before magically teleporting inside the Castle..

Luna sighed gratefully, happy that she wasn't seen.

"Luna!" Where have you been ,I sent out Guards looking for you?!"

Luna's eyes went wide as she noticed a worried Celestia approach her.

"Sister I'm fine." Luna said, anxiously.

"Where were you?" Celestia cried, a serious look on her face.

"On top of the Castle, watching this glorious town slumber in my beautiful nighttime."

"Hmmm, I see..." Celestia said, calming down, a small smile forming onto her face.

"Well, you should tell me before going off like that" Celestia said, putting a hoof onto the side of Luna's stomach, causing Luna to flinch and back away.

"Yes, sister, I'm fine, now I shall be heading outside now!" Luna's temper was rising, and Celestia noticed.

"Luna, are-

"IM FINE!" Luna was now angry, Celestia was getting too carried away with her safety.

"Luna- I....' Celestia sighed, turning around to see a tired and worried Cadence walking up to her.

"Is everything alright?...." Cadence said tiredly.

"Yes, I'm fine, but Luna defiantly is not." Celestia answered firmly.

"What happened, Cadence asked, yawning.

"Luna got mad at me for asking if she was alright, she yelled at me, she'd never do that to me...." Celestia replied, worriedly.

"We have to find her, something's wrong with her, I can tell." Cadence said, trying her best to stay awake.

"No, you need sleep, Cadence, you look exactly like you did when you saved us from King Sombra." Celestia said, while looking at cadence's tired state.

"Okay, I'll help you..... *Yawn." Look for her in the morning." Cadence said, before nearly falling over from being overtired.

"I'll carry you." Celestia said, Leviating the asleep pink Alicorn.

After Cadence was asleep, Celestia went to the balcony, and watched Luna overlook Canterlot.

"Please, Luna you can't hide your problems forever, I hope you tell us."... Celestia said, before worriedly looking out to the Moon, and wishing to the Moon.

Cadence's Help

Cadence woke up to the sounds of somepony knocking on her bedroom door.

"Cadence, are you in there?" Called a familiar voice.

"Luna?" Oh yes, come in?" Cadence said. Immediately getting up out of her comfortable bed.

Cadence saw the door open, and saw Princess Luna walk inside.

"..... Cadence, I need your help.....?" Luna asked, an extremely worried look on her face.

"Of course." Cadence said, smiling.

"May, we talk about it in, my Chamber?" Luna asked, looking around, making sure that no pony had seen her.

"Yes of course. Cadence said, not wanting to make the Princess feel anymore uncomfortable as she is now.

Once they arrived at Luna's Chamber, they walked inside.

"I've never been in your Chamber before" Cadence said, walking up to a picture of the Moon hanging on the wall above Luna's bed.

"Yes, as you know, I love the Moon as much as my sister does the Sun, so I keep my Chamber dark, to make it more comfortable to me. "

"Well, are you going to tell me what you need help with?" Cadence asked, sitting down on a velvety cobalt-blue chair.

"I need you to help me hide my pregnancy from my sister, if she were to find out, she would never leave me alone, and I would like freedom, as I have been imprisoned in the moon, and was released only months ago.

"I would do anything to help you, Luna, but instead of hiding it, tell your sister, and let her know that you don't want to be watched over all the time." She'll understand I'm sure, and if you decide that you want to tell her, I'll help you tell her too." Cadence said, seeing the words she said make Princess Luna's face make a small smile.

"Thank you, Cadence?" Luna said, hugging her life long friend.

"Your welcome, Luna."  Cadence said, before breaking the hug, and walking out of Luna's Chambers.

Celestia's Worry

Celestia was in shock....... Complete Shock.

"It's just a bad dream, a bad dream....." Celestia thought to herself uneasily.

But no, it wasn't a dream.... At all.

Celestia was wiped from her thought by seeing Cadence run out the door.

"I-I can't believe it, my sister...... Is PREGNANT!?" Celestia thought, still in utter disbelief.

Celestia stopped, and realized that even though she wasn't happy with Luna, she knew that she was scared, and she knew she had to help her younger sister.

She had so many questions, but she didn't know where to begin, she was lost... Completely lost.

"I have to find these things out!" Celestia said, before galloping towards the direction Luna had gone when she ran out the door.

"Luna?" Luna!" Celestia called for her beloved sister, and she soon got a reply.

"Yes...... Tia?' Celestia heard a broken voice, it was Luna's.

She ran towards the source of it, and saw Luna crying on a bed, with Cadence beside her.

"Luna, I'm so sorry!?" Celestia cried, running up to her younger sister, pulling her into a tight hug.

"I- How will I be a good mother, how will I know when it's going to be born, how will I know what to expect, how will I-?!"

"Luna, Luna, slow down." Celestia said, calming her sister down.

"I know very well that this is hard for you, Luna, but me and Cadence will be here for you, if, and whenever, you need us."

Celestia, said, nuzzling her crying sister.

*Sniff* "Thank you, Tia?" Luna said, tearfully, before standing up.

"There's only one question that needs to be answered". Luna said, before worriedly looking at the two Alicorns in front of her.

"And what may that be, Luna?" Cadence asked, speaking up.

"When will it be born?" Luna answered, her voice stuttering.

"I think I may be able to help you with that." Cadence replied, smiling at Celestia who was giving her a confused look.

"O-okay" Luna replied, before following the two Princesses down the Castle Hallway.

Doctors Help

"Princess Cadence, by all means, how are you going to help me?" Luna asked, obviously confused.

"Why, the Royal Hospital, of course!" Cadence answered back cheerfully.

"Well, at least you're all cheerful and happy...." Luna said, hanging her head down slightly.

"Luna, Cadence?" The Royal Guards are here to escort us to the Hospital". Celestia said, calling to the two Alicorn friends of hers.

"Coming!" Let's go, Luna?" Cadence said, running up to her Aunt.

Once they arrived to the Hopsital, Celestia noticed that Luna had a strange look on her already unhappy face.

"Dear Sister, Luna, are you alright?" Celestia asked, giving her sister a concerned look.

"Yes.... Just... Just worried, that's all....." Luna answered, nuzzling her elder sister.

Once the entered, all of the ponies inside bowed to them immediately.

"No time for bowing, I kindly ask you to escort us to a room, it's for my sister, Luna". Celestia said.

"Yes, of- of course, your Majesty." Replied a purple, blue maned pony.

"Thank you, Violet Skies?" Celestia said kindly.

"Sit down please, Princess Luna?" Asked Violet Skies, smiling heartfully.

"Umm, alright...?" Luna replied, sitting down in a blue cushioned armchair.

"So, Princess Luna, what may be wrong?" Asked Violet.

"Well, as long as you don't, tell... Anypony else, I'll tell you, alright?" Luna asked, nervously.

"Why, of course, anything for the Princess.

"I'm.... Pregnant........" Luna said, barely a whisper.

Violet gasped, but her face soon changed into a giant smile.

"Oh, my!"

"But- Luna cut her off.

"I need to know when it is due, and what race it might or, may be?" Luna asked, grateful that Violet hadn't taken it seriously.

"Well, come with me, Violet asked, walking to the other side of the room, heading towards a blank white screen.

"Sit down, again please?" She asked.

Luna sat down, nervously smiling at both Cadence and Celestia.

"Now, I need you to lay down on your side, Princess?' Asked Violet.

"Okay."

Violet left the room for a couple minutes before returning with a round object.

"Hold still?"

Luna layed completely still, as Violet put the object onto her stomach.

"Oh, good.... Excellent!" Violet looked up from her work, and smiled.

"It's due in three months!" Violet said  obviously extreamly happy.

"Three months!!???" Luna gulped.

"And?..." Celestia asked, pointing out Luna's other previous questions.

"It's a girl, and an Alicorn!!!" Violet, said, patting Luna's back.

Once the three Alicorn returned to the Castle, Luna's face was more anxious than worried, but still worried.

"Luna, it'll all be okay.." Cadence said, hugging her friend tightly.

"But I only have two months to prepare, what if I'm not prepared by that point in time?" Luna asked, not thinking about the positives at that moment.

"We'll  help you, don't worry yourself to death, and promise me one thing, you'll, tell us when you need us, okay?"

"Luna's face lit up slightly, and she ran over to hug the pink Alicorn tightly once more.

"Your the best friend I shall ever have, thus I do promise that I shall tell you when I need help." Luna said, tearfully.

"Thank you, Luna".....

Luna's Worries

Princess Luna knew greatly that she was pregnant, and she knew she had to tell Celestia and Cadence sooner or later.....

But she didn't know how.....

"I do feel bad for yelling at my dear sister, but I couldn't stay near them for too long before they noticed my stomach." Luna said to herself, feeling a little ashamed.

Luna landed on the balcony of the Castle, and extended her wings, letting the nightly breeze catch her.

"Luna, is something wrong?"

Luna gasped, and turned around to see Princess Cadence, standing behind her, with a slightly worried look on her face.

"Oh, hello, Cadence...." Luna said. Before turning around to face the pink Alicorn.

"Luna, are you alright, Celestia told me that you yelled at her.?" Cadence asked, opening her wings to their full extent.

Luna looked down at the floor, worried that her secret would be out, if she told Princess Cadence.

"Luna?....."  Please tell me what's going on?...." Cadence asked, putting a hoof on Luna's back.

"I-I'm...." Luna stuttered, unable to say it.

"Your what, you don't need to be afraid to tell me." Cadence said, reassuring the Moon Princess.

"I'm........ Pre.... Pregnant........." Luna said, finally managing to say it. Ll

"You...... Are.....!?" Cadence's face in complete shock  but her expression softened when she saw Luna's worried face.

"Don't worry, Luna, your secret is safe with Me". Cadence said before hugging her friend, and going back inside.

"Thank you, Cadence." Was all Luna could say before she closed her wings and began to lower the glowing Moon....

Telling Celestia

Luna had fallen asleep after Cadence had left, and she woke up feeling quite nervous.

"Maybe what Cadence had said was the right thing to do?" Luna said, speaking to herself yet again.

Luna had made her final decision, she was going to tell her Dear Sister.

Luna walked down the Castle hall, and reached Cadence's Chamber door, and she knocked.

"Come in, Luna". Cadence said from on the other side of the door.

"Cadence, I've made my decision, I'm going to tell Tia." Luna said, nervously.

"I knew you would pick the right thing to do." Cadence said, giving Luna a tight, quick hug, before opening the door once again.

"And I'm prepared to tell her now." Luna said, looking at Cadence's smiling face.

The two Alicorn Princesses walked down the Castle halls, finally reaching the Courtroom.

"Celestia?" Luna called, seeing her sister look over to her, and getting up to quickly walk over to her.

"Luna!" Where have you been, are you alright?!" Celestia said. Her voice giving off a worried tone.

"I- I need to tell you something, Princess Cadence already know...." Luna said, before leading her Celestia and Cadence to her Chamber.

"Sit down please, Tia?" Luna asked, as she herself got comfortable on her bed.

"Okay, Luna, tell me what's going on?" Celestia asked, her voice firm, but soft.

"Celestia, I'm pregnant......." Luna sputtered out, before remaining quiet for a few moments.

The look on Celestia's face was complete shock....

and Cadence gave Luna a worried look before. Luna run out of the room, crying.

Preparations

Once the three Princesses arrived back at Canterlot Castle, Luna went straight to her Chambers.

"Oh dear...." What will we do to prepare for my said foal?." Luna asked, to no one In particular.

Luna went to her table, which was on the opposite side of the room from where her bed sat, and grabbed some ink, and a few sheets of paper.

"I must keep, my room looking the same, but I also mustn't let the foal be unhappy when it gets here........" Oh dear, what shall I do....?" Luna said, putting her hoof on her head, thinking about some solutions.

Luna was cut off by her stomach growling, so she left the room, and went to the Royal Kitchen for something to eat.

"Oh, hello, Princess Luna, you don't come through here often, what would you like?" Asked a cyan blue pony, who was chopping carrots with her magic.

"I've come here for a little something to eat." Luna said, her stomach growling, louder than last time.

"Well, clearly your  stomach does in fact need food" said the cyan pony again.

"Yes, Velvet Clouds, I do...." Luna said, her completely empty stomach agreeing.

"What would you like me to prepare for you?"

"A fruit salad would be nice..." Luna said, smiling kindly.

"Alright, it shall be done in five minutes."  Hold on."

Five minutes later, Luna saw Velvet walking over, with a nice sized tray of fruit salad.

"Thank you, Velvet." Luna said, smiling warmly to her.

No need to thank me, just enjoy, you need it."

"Luna ate her meal in about ten minutes, before returning the dish to its rightful place to be washed, and returned to her chambers, ready to think about her preparations once again.

"Mmmmm, that was quite tasty." Luna said to herself.

"Now, back to work...."

"Hmm, Luna said, looking to the left corner of the room, which was a fairly large open space.

"I could put the foal's bed here, and have a basket of toys here....?" Luna said, getting caught up in the work.

Two hours later, Luna was finally done her planning, she was set.

"Tia?" Luna asked, running down the halls of the Castle, to where her sister was.

"Oh, hello, yes Luna?" Celestia asked her beloved younger sister.

"I've figured it all out." Luna said, standing firmly in place.

"Well, I would like to see it please, Cadence may come too?"

Yes, of course!" Luna answered, running down the hall, back to her Chamber door.

"Come in?" Luna asked, walking inside.

Celestia noticed the sheet of paper sitting on Luna's table, and curiously walked over to it.

Celestia grasped it with her magic, and look it over carefully, before setting it down again.

"Are these your plans?" Celestia asked, smiling.

"Well, yes..."

They're better than I expected!" Celestia said, her smile remaining on her face.

"Thank you, Tia?"
