Broken Love

More trusted than ever, you walk to Queen Chrysalis's chambers freely with only one guard accompanying you.

And we begin again.

As I told you last night, I had a suspicion of pregnancy. Three months after than night, we took a visit to the hospital to confirm my suspicions. I sat in a white room, with white sheets, a white bed, and wearing a white gown. Everything that could be white was white.

A nurse stepped into the room and spoke. "Are you her husband?" The words were directed at Egas.

"Yes." He said.

"I'm sorry," She said. "but you need to leave the room. We will let you in when the procedure is over."

When Egas left the room, the nurse closed and locked the door. Her skin rippled, and she turned into, or rather reversed back to, a changeling.

"My Queen!" The changeling hissed. He was male.

I shook my head and pretended to be confused.

"I know it is you!" He said. "What're you doing? The herd grows weak without your guidance!"

I would not let him ruin my new life. "AH! A CHANGELING!" I screamed.

"What!?" I heard a stallion say in the hall. The door's knob moved back and forth, but did not budge. I heard a slamming sound as someone repeatedly hit the door.

He stepped forward. "What the fuck are you doing?!?"  He hissed at me under his breath.

I flexed the muscles in my neck, and my horn activated. He was enveloped in green energy as I slammed him into the wall.

He got up from the floor and raised a hoof in his own defense. Flexing his wings, he screeched "Why are you doing this?"

Just as he finished talking, a stallion in a white coat burst through the door. Egas was quick behind him, activating his horn and throwing the changeling to the floor. The stallion put a hoof to the changeling's throat and whispered: "Don't move." He didn't.

After an hour, the examination room was cleaned, the changeling taken away to a prison near Canterlot, and the doctor arrived.

"Please take a seat, Misses Nitiral."

So that's what my last name was, Nitiral.  Emmije Nitiral. I sat down on the cot provided.

"Okay, I just need some blood to make sure you are healthy enough to even carry a baby, and an x - ray to see if you truly are pregnant."

I allowed him to take a tube of blood, and preform x - rays. He came back after the longest thirty minutes of my life.

"You are perfectly healthy, and..."

"Yes?" Egas said, obviously impatient.

"She is pregnant."

I saw the ultrasounds. It was true. I was going to have a baby.

"Yes!" My husband shrieked. He was so happy.

I was happy too.

And after nine months of walking, eating right, and staying healthy for the child, it was time for it to be born. I finally feared whether or not it would be a changeling.

We stepped into the same doctor's office that we had been in nine months ago, and I sat on the cot, doing breathing exercises to hold the baby from birthing.

The doctor came into the room, and positioned me on my back. Egas came to my side, and put his hoof in mine. I smiled at him.

I then felt the baby coming. The doctor told me to push, and I did. It hurt, but I thought to myself, 'I've experienced more pain than this, I can birth this child!' The baby slid out of me with one large push, and I held him in my hooves.

"What do we name him?" I looked to Egas.

"What do you want to name him?"

I thought for a moment.

"Sage."
