The three ponies and one changeling sat in silence for several minutes, eyes on the little contraption that would decide whether or not Night Winger is Shining Armor's son. Princess Cadence was hopeful, Twilight was curious and Shining Was a little worried. Night Winger on the other hoof was shaking from fear the test would be negative. Little had he known Shining, which shocked even him how fast he grew on him. He could only pray he could really call him Daddy.

"It should be just about done!" Said Twilight, closely inspecting the machine, guessing by the change in beeps and hums it had been making.

Shining and Night Winger looked at one another. Shining gave him a little nuzzle, getting a little hug in return from the changeling who seemed on the break of tears. Shining felt even if he wasn't his father, he'd be beyond pissed at Chrysalis, he'd still love the kid no matter what. At least his haunting thought of having been...victimized by Chrysalis would be untrue. Though he couldn't sigh of relief just yet. He continued to hold the little changeling close, rubbing a hoof over his small head. He loved him.

Ding!, went the machine and everypony's heads and ears perked up at the sound.

"What's the verdict?" Asked Cadence.

Twilight pulled a small sheet of paper from the machine that had been ejected from the side. She scanned over it, reading it through and thoroughly. Upon discovering her findings, she turned to the here ponies before her and smiled.

"I hope you love your son, brother. Your DNA match!"

Shining and Night Winger both smiled wide. Wider than they'd ever done before, and they held each other close. Night Winger cried of joy, soaking up the love his father was giving to him. Shining held his son close and tight, tears slipping down his cheeks. He didn't care how Night Winger came to be, nor did he care he was a changeling. All he cared about was that he was his son. Night Winger felt much the same. All he was told about how ponies were bad, and not to be trusted, but after so many years, he could final hug his father.

"I love you, daddy!" He managed to say through his sobs.

Shining smiled at his son, wiping his tears away with a hoof. "I love you too, buddy."

Suddenly the doors to the library opened and Starlight Glimmer appeared with Spike at her side. Starlight took in the scene before her. Cadence and Shining Armor were there, Shining was holding some bug like pony she'd never seen before. Cadence held him close, comforting him and Twilight seemed to be reading a sheet of paper. Spike mentally noted the same thing, only difference was that he knew what the bug pony was.

"...Are we interrupting something?" Asked Starlight in an awkward manner.

Twilight lowered the paper in her magical aura and smiles at the pink unicorn mare. "Oh, nothing at all! We just figured out Shining has a son!"

Spike tilted his head, walking up to shining before turning back to face Twilight. "You don't mean the changeling, do you?" He asked, pointing at the colts over his back with a thumb.

Twilight nodded.

Night Winger, after calming down some, noticed the presence of strangers in the room and huddled into his father for protection. "Daddy..." He mumbled.

Shining smiled, running a hoof over his son's head. "They're friends, okay, buddy?"

Night Winger nodded, but stayed close just in case. He very much enjoyed the soft, comforting fur the ponies had, finding it more pleasant than cold chitin shells.

"Um...what's a changeling?" Starlight asked as she entered the room, quizzically turning her gaze to Twilight. "Sounds a little creepy..." She says rubbing her left foreleg with the other.

Twilight giggled. "Changeling's are a bug type race of ponies who feed off of love and can take on the forms of other ponies!"

Starlight, being new to this, had her jaw hanging low. "They can shape shift?!"

Again, Twilight giggled. "Yes, Starlight."

"Um...if you don't mind me suddenly cutting in, what do we do now with Night Winger?" Cadence spoke up from where she sat in a chair against one of the many bookshelves.

Twilight scratched a hoof into her chin. "Well...I'm not sure, really. I'd honestly go and try to reason with Celestia."

Shining sighed heavily. "I'd rather not...I wouldn't dare risk the safety of my child. He'd be scared to death! In a large throne room with the princess of Equestria in front of him and guards filling the room. I don't think he could take it..." Shining looked down to see Night Winger had fallen asleep in his hooves, and was snoring lightly. A smile formed, joy filling him at the fact he has a son. Night Winger began sucking his hoof and his little wings buzzed every now and again as he lay curled up on his back.

During this whole ordeal, a bored Flurry Heart was practicing her magic by making a house of books on the crystal floor.

"Well...it's gotta be done...we can't just keep him a secret forever. Are just going to keep him cooped up inside?"

"I don't know, okay, Twilight? Suddenly knowing I'm the father to a changeling is nice and all, but I haven't been the best for figuring these things out..." Sighed the captain of the Royal Guard, looking down onto his napping son.

Twilight, unsure of how to handle this as well, gently scraped a hoof into the floor. "Well, we had better figure something out. Before something bad happens."
