Chrysalis wore a happy smirk as she entered her throne room. Dark and black, large torches emiting green flames as a small source of light lined the walls. The two guard drones lifted their heads slightly, noting Chrysalis's presence.

"Those ponies are so foolish!" She laughed to herself as she took a seat. A pair of drones on either side bowed as she approached.

"So, what is the next step of the plan, my Queen?" Asked the drone to her left, seeming a little glum.

Chrysalis broke a small smile and gave a pat on the changeling's head. "Worry not, my subjects. You shall all be fed plenty soon! The next step is all on Mommy's little boy," she grinned, putting her forehooves together as she cackled ever so slightly. "He just doesn't know it yet. Neither does his bulk headed father."

"What IS the plan?" Wondered the other changeling. "Is there anything we shall do to prepare?"

Chrysalis tsk tsk'ed. "I wish not to spoil. This plan is fool proof and cannot possible fail! Soon enough...there will be more than enough love that you could wish your little heart for!"

The changeling to the Queen's left let out a low grumble. "That's what you said last time...I heard you were all blown away."

Chrysalis huffed. "The plan was working! A few...unexpected guests decided to show up to the wedding..." Chrysalis wove her hoof around, making various gestures.

"I was told you took Celestia down with one hit," the opposite changeling spoke up.

A smile formed on the changeling Queen's muzzle. If anything, the only good thing that came from that attack was that small moment. The scene replayed in her mind.Celestia rose from the floor, claiming she'd defeat her, but instead, Celestia was thrown to the floor like a rag doll. It was a good feeling she had control of Equestria...even if it were for a short moment.

"That I did, Buzzer. That I did." She stated, smiling. "Too bad nopony will be able to save them this time!"

"So, let me get this straight." Said Twilight after a moment of thought, a slightly annoyed look on her face "Queen Chrysalis just randomly pops out of nowhere, Night Winger, claims he's your son and you believe it, just like that?!"

Shining Armor chuckled nervously. "....Yeah, soorrrt of like that..."

"SORT of like that?!" Twilight snapped, turning suddenly to face her brother. "That's what it IS!" She threw out a hoof and slammed it back down.

Shining cringed a little, beads of sweat rolling down the sides of his head. "Heheheh..."

Twilight face hooved, grunting angrily. "Either way, he's here, there's nothing we can do about it."

Shining would protest, but in Twilights anger, he decided against it. Being a father already, he had a gut feeling Night Winger is his son. He holds him close, only wishing to keep him safe.

"You feed me a lot, daddy," little Night Winger giggled.

Shining didn't answer.

"Now...say he IS Shining's son?" Cadence interjected from her bed next to Shining.

A low sigh came from Twilight who began to look out the window. "Even if he is...I just have a bad feeling about this." She says softly. "You saw how she was, and what she did. There were so many changelings in the sky they almost blocked out the sun..."

"I know, Twilight...but we can't blame this little guy for that..." Cadence argued.

Twilight gave a slight roll of her eyes. "I'm not blaming him...I like him, I'm just not ready to believe he's Shining's son without any real proof of it."

"Even if he isn't my son...I'm too attached to him to want to let him go..." Shining said suddenly. "Being a father already, I have a strong feeling he is."

This made Night Winger smile as he nuzzled Shining's cheek. "Thanks, daddy. I love you!"

Shining smiled, hugging the colt he hoped is his son indeed. "Awe, I love you too!"

Night Winger returned the affection, hugging him tightly around the neck. The best thing as being a changeling is to be told you're loved.

"Well...I could do a test for it! But...we don't have the right tools for that...currently..." Twilight sighed.

"I could camouflage and we could go see! Wherever it is we'd go to see..."

Twilight smiled. "My castle!"

Shining shrugged. "It's worth a shot!"

"Since I'll be needing them for this!" Twilight giggled.

"Need what?" Cadence asks.

Twilight smiled, heading for the door. "Shots! You know...needles!"

"Let's go then!" Shining said happily, placing Night Winger on his back, following after Twilight and alongside his wife.

Night Winger took on the form of a blue Pegasus with a fiery yellow mane and tail and light blue eyes. No cutie mark appeared sadly.

Later at Twilight's castle, a small machine hummed to life and she prepared the needles. They set up in the library, Night Winger sat of course in Shining's lap on a soft chair. Cadence stood near by, not being a fan of having metal pierce her skin. Twilight pressed a button on the machine and a small tray slid out from the side, four Petri dishes inside. She took two of the four and the trey slid back in. She set them on top of the machine, then proceeded to grab her two clothes, needles, rubber bands and bottle of alcohol in her purple magic aura.

She smiled as she approached the stallion and colt.

"Is this going to h-hurt, daddy?" Night Winger asked curiously, eying the sharp needles.

"Maybe a little, but be brave, okay? Let's just...hope the result is positive, okay?"

Night Winger nodded. "Okay, daddy."

"I dunno why I'm even doing this." Twilight giggled as she damped one cloth with a bit of the alcohol which she used to rub onto a spot on where Shining's Upper and lower leg meet. Next she wrapped one of the bands around His upper leg and pulled it slightly tight.

"Because you love me." Shining teased to which Twilight rolled her eyes.

Slowly, Twilight brought the needle to Shining's arm and made the "incision." She filled it wth about 10ml of blood, and then repeated the same process with Night Winger who hardly felt a thing due to having a hard shell.

"But what if the test shows I'm not your son?" The colt asks worriedly, his eyes tearing up as he looked up at Shining.

The Royal Guard captain sighed, tearing up as well. "If not...you can still call me daddy, okay?"

"Okay" replied Night Winger weakly as he sobbed into Shining's chest. Shining holds him tight, gently nuzzling him.

"This may take a little time." Said Twilight as she watched the machine's various lights blink and little air pump thing do their thing. Even she didn't know how the thing worked, but knew it gave results and that's all that mattered.

Author's Note

Disclaimer: I know nothing about how DNA testing works, but I did try and research it a bit and I got close to nothing, so I just went and threw it together will no knowledge of it. I tried, though!

Just wait to see the twists I have in store! Beware for more cliff hangers and tons of suspenseful cuteness!!

Well...it WAS featured for...ten minutes...far better stories come in and kick me out as soon as I get in! Only one of my stories called "Night of the Werewolf" on my main account lasted more than a day. It actually lasted a week! I made a one shot sequel to it that got featured along with it even! Felt nice to have two stories featured at the same time :D

I don't care for the feature itself. It just tells me you all enjoy the story being featured and that's all that matters to me :)
