Oc origins: Crescent blade

The young thestral mare with a watery blue coat and a messy purple edged navy blue mane laid on a hospital bed, tears staining her light red eyes and breathing slightly ragged as a black unicorn stallion with a short spiky red and gold mane and tail was holding her assuringly as the unicorn doctor brought them the small bundle wrapped in a small blanket.The mare named Moon Tear looked at the bundle in both anxiety and joy. Her pregnancy had been unexpected for the barely newlyweds.

Reaching out for the bundle as her husband spoke up noticing the Doctor's worried expression.

"Doctor is everything fine, is our baby okay?" He asked fear evident in his gold eyes, he didn't know what they'd do if something was wrong with their baby. What if he or she was deformed or special needs of some kind they were barely prepared to take care of a perfectly healthy baby they had spent the first two months unaware of it only to spend the next four months planning a wedding made three sizes too big by Tears parents.

The doctor shook himself out of his stupor and smiled apologetically.

"Oh no your baby is a perfectly healthy colt." The doctor said making the new parents smile in joy. With the worries of their foals health gone their stress was relieved, but only slightly. They still had problems the biggest one was time for their foal. The young couple were also young guards and while tear still had almost 9 months of maternity leave her husband only had three left.

"Its just that well I'm not sure what he is." Both Moon tear and her husband Starsabre looked at him confused.

"What do you mean, is he a thestral like me." Tear asked tiredly before gesturing toward Sabre.

"Or a unicorn like his father."

"Well i think it's better if you two see for yourselves, i don't think I can find the right words." He levitated the foal over to the awaiting arms of his mother who quickly cradled him in her arms. Starsabre's horn glowed in a golden aura as he undid the blanket getting a better look of their foal.

Now fully revealed they gazed at their baby with his small ears with tufts of fur on the ends like his mother's and the inky black coat like his father with a small burgundy mane with his mother's navy tips. But what grabbed their attention was the lack of wings and the small slightly curved horn on his head.

"Oh my" the new mother said in surprise while holding the colt close. Over her 9 months of pregnancy her head was filled over what her baby would be. She had hoped that he would be a unicorn, it would be easy to grow up a unicorn in canterlot. She held the baby tightly but carefully enough to not hurt him as worry started to storm her mind. Starsabre reached out with his hoof and placed it on the babies small barrel, smiling as he felt his son's heartbeat.

The colt released what sounded like a cross between a whimper and a gurgle as he opened his eyes revealing their ruby red color.

"He has your eyes" Starsabre said on the verge of tears like his wife as her worries quickly washed away as she nuzzled her foal who started to giggle and tried to grip her face with his adorably tiny hooves.

"What should we name him?" Starsabre asked.

"Well he's a mix of our two tribes, so why not a mix of our names?" Starsabre raised an eyebrow at the suggestion.

"You want to name our son Startear" 'Star tear' gurgled before up chucking on his mothers chest. Trying her best not to gag herself as she shook her head.

"Oh faust no we might as well name him destiny hope, what i meant is something like Moon sabre but  like-" she put the tip of her leathery wing to her chin in thought as she looked down at her son thinking of a name.

"So Moon sabre, why not Crescent?" Tear nodded at it liking the name while Crescent giggled again.

"And instead of Sabre how about Blade?" She said using her wing to clean off the leftover bile of his lips but began laughing as he gripped her wing started to suckle on it. Starsabre smiled at the sight

"So Crescent blade it is." He said getting close and nuzzling his baby boy who let go of his mother's wing  to grip on fathers face trying to reach his horn.

"Honey i think he might be hungry." Starsabre laughed out as Crescent tried to climb his face wrapping his little hoof on his horn.

"I got him" she used her wings to lift him away from his father's face, she lifted the blanket off her barrel as Crescent started to struggle and was about to cry until Tear settled him in front of her stomach, she blushed and quickly covered her lower body and Crescent with a blanket as he started to suckle on his mother for milk. His father laughed at his wife's embarrassment before sighing.

*sigh* he did it again quite loudly.

*Sigh!* he did it again forcefully and loudly.

*SIGH!* Tear rolled her eyes at her husband's subtlety

"Fine you can choose his middle name, no objections from me." She said making him smile wide in happiness.

"Crescent Wilson Blade it is!" He proclaimed like a lifelong dream had been fulfilled. Tear smiled as she rolled her eyes.

"Its what i get for marrying a nerd" she jabbed playfully at him as they both laughed enjoying their first moment as a family together rather spending time to enjoy it instead of sullying it with their worries they find a way to work through it all for their son. If only they knew of the challenges he would face and eventually conquer in his life thanks to them and many others.
