Princess Celestia slowly started to regain consciousness. "Ugh, what happened?" She mumbled to herself as her eyes started to adjust to the sunshine.
She groaned when a wave of nausea hit her like when Rainbow Dash first met Twilight Sparkle. She would have got up and would have ran into the bathroom if it weren't for her agonizing migraine.
When her eyes finally adjusted the light, she screamed at the scene before her. She appeared to be laying In a king sized bed, next to a centaur with red arms, two horns barely visible, and a white and black mane. When the centaurs golden eyes opened and met with hers, he not only screamed, but fell off of the bed in complete shock.
"Oh my, are you alright?" The centaur slowly got up, groaning and rubbing his forehead."Yes, I'm fine." He said while taking in his surroundings. "What.... What happened?"
Celestia couldn't help but blush at his question. "It appears we both made foolish decisions that led us to..... Spend the night with each other." The princess said struggling to find the right words to say.
"Oh..." The centaur replied. Soon, they were both as red as tomatoes and staring awkwardly at the floor. "I'm sorry, but I really must be going, I hope that you can forgive me."
She said with her eyes still glued to the floor. Before either one of them could say another word, the sun goddess ran to the nearest exit and was soon flying towards canter lot.
Princess luna nervously paced around the castle, her sister occupying every thought. "Your highness", Luna turned around to see who interrupted her train of thought, only to see two royal guards kneeling before her. "Has thou succeeded in finding our sister?" Both guards looked at each before the one on the left gathered enough courage to face the princess of the night. "We have searched all throughout Canterlot, my lady, but could not find her." Luna gritted her teeth in anger, " Then thou shall look all throughout Equestria! Don't stop until you find her!"
Both guards instantly rushed out the door, tripping over there own legs as they ran. Luna just sighed and continued her pacing. "Please be ok sister, please be o-"
A loud bang cut off her sentence. Luna rushed to the scene to find her sister on the verge of tears. Her eyes were bloodshot and her pupils dialated. Her hair looked like a rats nest and was no longer flowing, and there was a strong scent of booze emanating off of her.
"Tia! What has happened to you?" Instead of answering, Celestia rushed into the bathroom and started vomiting. Luna could only watch as her poor sister threw up whatever she ate last night. When she was finished, she looked up at her sister with tears dripping down her cheeks.
Luna walked over to her sister and placed a comforting hoof on her back. "Sister, what has happened to thee?" "I am so sorry, Luna, I did not mean to be out for so long," Celestia replied with her voice quivering. "Tis quit alright, Tia, but what compelled thee to be out for so long?". Celestia sniffles, " I got.... I got." And that's when she broke down sobbing.
Luna wrapped her wing around her sister, trying her best to comfort her. "Tis alright, dear sister, just tell me what has happened". Celestia picked herself up and tried to regain any pride she had left.
"Well, you know how long I've had that crush on Discord". Luna only nodded in response. "About a week ago, I asked him out on a date, but he rejected me." Celestia hung her head in shame.
"It is not thy's fault that Discord failed to see the beauty thou posses". Celestia only smiled in response and continued on with her story. "Anyway, last night I saw him flirting with a young mare, it hurt so much to see him with another, that I decided to let it all go."
"That is when thou decided to leave to have a few drinks, did you not." Celestia blushed and hung her head in shame. "Yes, I only inteded to have one or two drinks then leave, but then I met a young centaur named Tirek." Celestia looked back at Luna. "After meeting him, I stayed and had a few more drinks, the rest is all a blur."
Celestia sighed, knowing this would be the hardest part." The next morning, I woke up sleeping next to him." Luna gasped after hearing what her sister said. " Tia, please tell us you didn't." Celestia's eyes dropped to the floor, not wanting to meet her sisters. " I did, I slept with him."
Princess Celestia leaned over the toilet and threw up for the third time that morning. It had been three weeks since the princess had slept with Tirek, and since then she had been having numerous mood swings, eating enough for two mares combined, and throwing up at least four times a week.
"Tia, is thou alright?" Luna asked after her sister regained her composure. "Yes Luna, I'm fine". Celestia grabbed a towel and dried her face, then started heading towards the throne. "Tia, if thou does not mind us asking, but what is going on?" Celestia stopped dead in her tracks. Was she really ready to tell her little sister?
Luna instantly saw her sisters hesitation. "Thou does realize thy can tell us anything, right?" Celestia looked at her sister, then nodded 'I guess it is to tell her' she thought to herself.
The goddess turned around so that she facing her little sister, "Luna, I'm pregnant". At first, all Luna could do was stare at her, then she found herself squealing with delight. "Tia, this is amazing! Tell us, is it a mare or a colt? When is she/he due, who is thy father?"
Celestia stuck a hoof in her sisters mouth to silence her. " it's too early to tell what gender it is, he/she is due in about nine months, and the father is... Is." Celestia could not get the words out, no matter how hard she tried, but Luna knew. "It's Tirek, isn't it."
Celestia slowly nodded, and forced a smile on her face. "Nonetheless, I will love the foal just like a good mother should, no matter who the father." Luna nodded, but couldn't help but think of what the foal might posses, since they had just banished Tirek to the depths of Tartarus. Luna forced the thoughts of her head and hugged her sister. "And we shall love it like a proper aunt should."
Celestia smiled and hugged her back. They both started discussing baby names as they headed towards the throne room.
It had been nine months since Celestia had told Luna about her foal. Since then, her mood swings and and eating habits have become worst and her stomach had become the size of a house, at least that's how Celestia described it. She was in a meeting with Luna, Prince Blueblood, and the captain of the royal guard when Celestia felt something drip down her leg.
" princess, is everything alright?" Silver shield, the captain of the royal guard asked her. Celestia only nodded as she felt more of this strange liquid drip down her legs. "You're water broke!" Celestia just stood there, unsure of what to do. Soon, a team of doctors hoisted her up on a stretcher and rolled her into the emergency room.
"Alright, my lady, your doing great. Just keep breathing in and out." "I KNOW HOW TO BREATH! JUST TELL ME HOW TO STOP THIS PAIN!" Celestia screamed at the top of her lungs, the pain was unbearable. " just listen to me, I need you to push, alright? Now one, two, three, PUSH!" Celestia howled in agony as she pushed. " you're doing great, just keep on pushing!"
"I don't think I can." Celestia moaned, she thought the beginning was painful, this felt like a living hell. "You have to!" The doctor tried to encourage her to keep going, but Celestia just shook her head. "Tia! Listen to us, thou is stronger than this. We know it hurts, but thou must keep going, thy has never quit before. Now push!" On those last words, Celestia pushed as hard as she could, causing her to scream in anguish. She was sure she was going to die, when suddenly, she heard the crying of a young foal.
"Its a mare!" The doctor wrapped the foal in a blanket and gave her to Celestia. She looked down at the foal in her arms. The foal had a light pink coat, a red, yellow, and orange mane, a tiny horn, and a pair of bat wings on her back. Celestia began to cry.
"Thou is beautiful," Luna said while staring at the foal, "what shall we name her." Celestia thought of the list of names they had created a few days ago. "How about Ariadne?" As if on command, the filly opened her eyes, golden like her father. "Ariadne it is."
