The winter had been a cold one despite all attempts of the Pegasus Ponies to keep the skies clear and sunny. That first natural blizzard of the winter had set things in motion.

The Library doors were closed and locked, nopony could get in, and no lights were seen from within.

Twilight remained in Canterlot, sending mail to her friends via Pegasus Post rather than through Spike. In an early letter she had explained that the cold weather had caused him to enter a form of hibernation, and that he was sleeping in the basement near an enchanted warming crystal. She also stated that she had to stay in Canterlot due to the cold not being good for her.

The Unicorn's excuse for staying away this winter was because of her advanced studies, but should return to reopen the Library come spring.

Rainbow Dash's cloud home provided her no protection from the cold, and had moved in with Pinkie Pie. The Rainbow mane's Pegasus even started learning how to bake, and learned a lot about patience in the process.

Even Fluttershy's little cottage, being so far outside Ponyville had been abandoned for the winter. She was staying with Rarity, which was of no surprise to any of their friends.

Applejack and Moon Pie, well, obviously, had been rescued the morning after that frightening blizzard at the beginning of winter, and he was staying at the farm, sharing a bed with the farm mare. The farm ponies stayed holed up in their warm home and didn't visit Ponyville, other than Big Mac making the occasional trip for supplies.

Apple Rumble was missing Sweetie Belle fiercely, and would make the trip with Big Mac so he could see her.

Scootaloo and her adopted father, Cloud, took a trip to the far south, to a tropical climate.

After months of the cold, the snow and ice, time for Spring came. Twilight returned a few days prior to Winter Wrap Up to help get everything organized. She wore warm robes that covered most of her body, hiding certain features.

When the show and cold were finally gone, bringing in the warmth of spring, many changes were discovered.
...

Twilight's friends had all gathered at the Library, which was finally open for visitors, even though Spike was still locked up in the basement's furthest back room.

Now that Twilight wore a thinner robe than before, her condition was very visible. The five stared in shock at Twilight's large belly.

“Yer pregnant too?” Applejack smirked, her own belly showing the signs of her own condition. “Blue Moon an' Ah are gonna be parents come fall.”

“Congratulations Twilight.” Rarity and Rainbow Dash said at the same time, then giggled.

“Who's the daddy?” Pinkie Pie asked excitedly, her wings fluttering almost uncontrollably.

Twilight smirked and 'changed' the subject. “Well... Um... Applejack and I are not the only ones who are with foal.” She blushed brightly. “Princess Luna is pregnant too.”

Rarity's eyes lit up. “I read about that in Equestria Daily, but the details were sorely lacking. Do you know who the father is?”

Twilight nodded. “I do know, but it's not my place to tell. There's a reason the news papers were, as you said, sorely lacking details.”

“Can't you give us a clue?” Rainbow Dash pleaded.

“Sorry, I can't.” Twilight suddenly gasped and held a hoof to her belly. “The little dear just kicked.” She chuckled.

“Oh, can I feel?” Fluttershy asked, the cutest look on her face.

“Of course.” Twilight guided Fluttershy's hoof to the spot and watched the look of delight on her butter yellow friend.

“I... I just felt it kick.” The most dreamy look fell across her face. “Who's the daddy?” Twilight was asked again.

Twilight shook her head. “I'm afraid I don't know exactly.”

All eyes fell on Twilight, all looking utterly shocked.

“Ya dun know who the dad is?” Applejack gave a disappointed look at her friend. “Ah ain't never took ya for bein' a loose mare.”

“I've only been with two mates. I love them both with all my hearts though.” Twilight gave Applejack a reassuring smile. “To me, I'll be happy with whoever is the father.”

“Ya can tell us who they are, can't ya?”

“Well...” Twilight smiled and looked around the library. “They made me promise not to say who the father of Luna's foal is, but...” She blushed and mumbled the answer.

“Um...” Fluttershy leaned closer, as did the others. “I don't think we heard you.”

“I said... either...” She mumbled again.

“Ah fer cryin' out loud.” Applejack laughed. “Ya'll worse than out lil' dominatrix queen here.”

“Meep!”

“P... Princess Luna or Princess Celestia...” Twilight said a little louder.

Rarity raised an eye. “Goodness me. How can they be the fathers. They're both Princesses, as in NOT a Prince. They're mares.”

Applejack's eyes bolted wide. “Now hold on a sec Twi. Ya'll mean... Th' thing that happened t' Apple Rumble... She becomin' a he an' all that... That happened to Princess Celestia an' Princess Luna?”

“Not... exactly...” She hung her head. “Applejack, I'm sorry, but I thought you knew. I sent you a letter explaining the truth about Apple Bloom - Rumble. Sorry.”

“Ah ain't got no letter 'bout that.”

“Oh dear...” Twilight frowned. She knew her blond friend had a bit of a temper, especially when it came to protecting her family. “It's my fault that sweet little filly became a colt... not some curse.”

“Oh, I knew that. Apple Rumble told me about mid winter. Ah was plenty pissed, but he gone told me that he had forced ya t' do it. He didn't tell me how, said he wouldn't break the promise he made t' ya.” Applejack chuckled. “Ah actually plum forgot t' ask ya what exactly ya did.”

“Oh... um...” She mumbled AGAIN.

“Enough with the mumbling dear.” Rarity smiled calmly. “What exactly did you do? I mean, Sweetie Belle has never been happier, what with her dating Apple Rumble. He's quite the gentle colt too, and very smart.”

“I used a gender changing spell on him...”

“Oh, that sounds like fun.” Pinkie leaned forward. “Can you show us?”

“I don't know. I mean, every time I've used it, it's caused... complications...” Twilight looked away.

Dash suddenly had a flash of insight that none of her friends had seen coming. “You're the father of Luna's foal... aren't you?”

Twilight's eyes went wide and she could only sputter.

Dash stared for a moment, the keeled over laughing her rainbow tailed ass off. “BWAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“Oh dear...” Rarity couldn't believe what she was hearing. “Tell us this isn't so. The implications of you baring a Princess's foal is one thing, but to be the father of a Princess's foal as well?”

“Hold on a sec here.” Applejack was good and confused. “How the hay can ya both be pregnant. Ya'll can't become a stallion and stay preggers, can ya?”

Pinkie laughed this time. “Applejack you silly ninny. They can if they're both hermaphrodites.”

“Ah ain't even gonna try t' say that word... what the hay?”

Twilight answered. “A hermaphrodite is a pony who has both male and female genitals.”

“Ah know Ah ain't really ever paid much attention t' that part ah ya Sugercube, but Ah'm certain as Ah'm a mare that yer one too.”

“I am. It was that spell of mine... I can change other's or my own gender, and then change them back.”

Fluttershy was too busy blushing to say anything, but Rainbow Dash on the other hoof. “Hold on. You mean you can have REAL stallion bits and still look like a mare?”

“Yes, if you want.”

“Oh wow. I wanna know what I'd look like as a stallion.” Dash grinned madly. “Do me, do me.”

“Hey, that's my job.” Pinkie fumed. “Unless you wanna have another orgy with MMPH!”

Rarity used her magic to clamp Pinkie's mouth shut. “No need to tell tall tales my dear...” She grinned nervously.

Twilight chuckled. “Oh... Pinkie Pie already told me about your group winter warm up activities... and sent a few pictures as well.”

Rarity's magic fell, as did her jaw. “I thought you burned that film...”

“I was joking Rarity.” Twilight laughed cutely. “I'm sorry, I must have picked up a little of Tia's sense of humor.”

“Tia?” Pinkie Pie asked, curious.

“Oh, Princess Celestia. We're pretty close now. What with the...” She rubbed her belly and felt another kick.

Rarity fumed a little, but then giggled. “Oh... You got me Twilight. It seems you're becoming more crafty as well.”

“I think I've picked that up from Nightmare Moon... I mean... Luna.” She cringed. “Um... let me explain please...” She glanced at the mortified looks on her friend's faces.

“It seems that when Luna came back from the moon, she had built up nearly a thousand years worth of heat... Her desires to become a mother manifested and she became Nightmare Moon... in heat.”

The looks were still those of mortified ponies, all but for Pinkie Pie.

“Wow, I bet she was a lot of fun.”

“We were locked in the castle's old vault for a week, with me in chains and unable to use my magic.” Twilight blushed. “Her magic sustained me the whole time so I didn't need to eat or drink anything. I only needed to sleep for short periods of time between... making love.”

The looks fell from her friend's faces.

“Hold up.” Dash leaned forward, pushing Pinkie aside a little. “How many times did you do it with her?”

“I... I lost count.”

Dash stared. “Dayum. Talk about endurance.” She laughed as she leaned back. “So, was she good?”

“You have no idea.” Twilight rolled her eyes, a sly smile on her lips. “She WROTE the original Kamare Sutra over two thousand years ago.” She blushed. “I think we came up with a few new positions for the latest version of the book...”

Rarity wiped a little drool from her lips, banishing her own fantasies to the back of her mind. “Certainly you must be kidding... Right?”

“I never knew I was that flexible...” Twilight replied plainly.

“Keep it down up there.” An unfamiliar voice called out from below.

All eyes turned to the basement door as it opened up.

Purple dragon with green spikes and spines, but as tall as a pony when they stood on their hind legs. Lean, toned muscles, strong wings, long tail, slender, tapered snout, and bright green eyes.

“Spike?” Twilight walked up and looked up. “You... you grew.”

“I did?” He realized that he was looking down at Twilight rather than up at her. “Holy Celestia... I did.” He looked himself over and saw the wings, the longer tail. He grinned as he awkwardly spread his wings. “Wow, this is so cool.”

Fluttershy whispered something to Rarity, who went red faced.

Spike spotted Rarity and blushed. “Um.. Hi Rarity...”

Rarity walked past Twilight and looked up. “It really is you Spike?”

Spike dropped down onto his hands. He was now as tall as a pony when they stood normally. “Um, yea. It's really me.”

Rarity walked around him, eying him critically. “Well, those suits I made for you certainly won't fit anymore. You'll have to come over to the Boutique later so I can retake your measurements.”

“Um, certainly. I'd like that a lot. I'll help you dig up gems as payment of course. Not going to let greed get the better of me again.” He chuckled a little, then looked at the others. They were still looking surprised, but also happy for him.

“Spike.” Twilight threw her forehooves around his neck and hugged him. “You're not a baby dragon anymore. I was so afraid you'd grow up the same way you did on your last birthday.”

Spike grinned. “Well, thankfully I didn't. And... say, have you put on weight?”

Twilight released Spike and stepped back, turning sideways so he could see her belly. “I'm going to be a mother. You'll have a little brother or sister.”

Spike paled and shushed at Twilight.

The Unicorn realized her slip up and winced. She turned to her friends, who all had... bemused expressions on their faces.

“We all knew ya'll was like mother and son.” Applejack laughed. “Adopted, but still family. Ya told us ya hatched Spike from an egg and raised him all his life.”

“I... I guess I did tell you, didn't I?” Twilight smiled. “Well... One more surprise I have to tell you. Seeing that I'm going to be a mother... and a father, I've been elevated to royal status. I'm officially a Princess, but I asked Tia and Luna not to tell anypony.”

Rarity bowed before Twilight. “Oh my, my dear friend Princess Twilight Sparkle.” The others also bowed, even Spike.

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Please, no bowing before me please. It's a title, but I'm still your friend.”

“But... A Princess?” Rarity exclaimed. “It is so rare that somepony be elevated even noble status. But... a Princess?” She smiled. “But then, I guess you are more than worthy of that title.”

Twilight returned Rarity's smile. “I'm still your egghead friend and Ponyville's librarian.”

“And local mad wizard too.” Pinkie Pie giggled from overhead.

“Please stop standing on my ceiling Pinkie. It's a pain to remove hoof marks from up there.” Twilight deadpanned. “And I'm not a mad wizard.” She added, her voice raising slightly.

Pinkie dropped and landed on her hooves. “But you turned the Princesses into Princes and got pregnant with a prince or princess of your own, or maybe even twins because you do look pretty big, then turned yourself into a stallion so you could get Princess Luna pregnant. That sound like a mad wizard thing to me.”

“Oh, you want mad wizard?” Twilight grinned and threw back her soft cotton robes and spread her feathered wings, her horn suddenly glowing brightly.

Pinkie Pie bounced excitedly while the others looked shocked beyond belief. “Oh OH OH!!! Are you going to make ME a stallion? I bet Dashie would love it.”

“TWILGIHT!!! NOOOO!!!!” Dash cried and dove to protect Pinkie Pie, the magic flashing and hitting the cyan Pegasus instead.
