A few months later...

The mirror glowed as Doctor Horse stepped into the living room, he was wearing his medical coat and holding a medical bag it his mouth.

“Thank goodness you're here Doctor,” Cookie said looking nervous.

“I came as soon as I could,” He said, dropping the medical bag onto the floor.

“This way,” Richard said leading him to the main bedroom.

The medical bag floated off the ground and followed Dr. Horse as he walked into the bedroom. Rarity was on top of the bed sheets laying on her side with a bag of ice on her head.

“The doctor is here,” Richard said, lifting the bag of ice off her.

“Thank Celestia, OOOH,” Rarity said with a moan feeling another contraction.

“Let's take a look at you,” The doctor said adjusting his glasses.

His bag opened and he retrieved some medical instruments from it, Richard recognized some of the basic ones, but others looked alien to him. Doctor Horse measured her belly and then placed his hooves gently feeling, before moving down to check for dilation.

“It won’t be long now,” Dr. Horse said stepping back.

"I'll get the towels ready," Cookie said and left the bedroom.

“What about Snowflake if it’s a girl or Sharpie if it’s a boy?” Rarity suggested breathing heavy looking at him.

“Those are pet names,” Richard said, holding her right front hoof and rubbed her forehead looking at her.

“The names are AAAH normal in Equestria,” She said closing her eyes.

“How about Sofia or Sebastian for Earth and then you can pick a second name for Equestria,” Richard said looking in her eyes.


“It hurts, OOOH, AAAH,” Rarity said with a moan.

“I see the head, push, push!,” Dr. House said looking up at her.

"Ooo!!!" Rarity yelled out feeling like she was being torn apart and then the pressure released.

Suddenly there was a high pitch cry as Dr. House quickly picked up the newborn and examined it.

"Congratulations, it's a filly," He said, with a snip and tied off the umbilical cord.

"She's beautiful," Cookie smiled as she cleaned her and wrapped her in a soft blanket, then gently brought her to Rarity.

"Richard look she has your hair," Rarity gently folded the blanket, revealing a very small white unicorn pony with a blond mane. He noticed that her horn was only a very small bump on the top of her head.

"She has your eyes," Richard said with a smile looking at her big blue eyes.

"Have you decided on a name?" Dr. Horse asked them.

"Sofia..." Richard started to say.

"Sofia Pearl Labonte," Rarity spoke up and looked at Richard, who nodded in agreement.

"I'm so proud of you, dear," Cookie said and nuzzled Rarity.

"Sofia this is your grandma," Richard said with a smile, holding the bundle of joy in his hands.

"Grandma no, no, no, she can just call me Betty," Cookie protested.

Sofia's nose was wet and she sniffled wiggling her nose until she let out a small sneeze. Suddenly there was a flash of light that enveloped her and when the light faded, he was now holding a baby girl with blond hair and blue eyes.

"Is that supposed to happen?" Richard asked.


In Equestria

Princesses Celestia smiled as two small hands reached out from a stroller and touched her nose. Sofia giggled, looking up at the pony princess, she was dressed in a cute purple dress with a pink ribbon in her blond hair wearing Minnie Mouse diaper.

"She's so cute," Celestia said with a big smile, stepping back from the stroller.

"I have never seen anything like this before," Luna said, lowering her head into the stroller to get a better look.

Sofia made more silly baby noises now looking up at the dark pony princess of the night as she sucked on a pacifier.

"When she sneezes, it triggers the change," Rarity said look at Princess Celestia.

"She was conceived the night, that Richard was changed into a pony is that correct?" Celestia as her.

"Yes," Rarity blushed a little.

Celestia paced back and forth thinking and then glanced up at the stained glass window noticing Discord was hiding in it.

"Discord!" Her voice echoed in the large hallway.

Discord glass shape slithered it's way down the glass until it fell to the ground and shatter into small pieces and then reformed into a draconequus.

"You Rang, Your Majesty," He said, bowing with a goofy smile.

"It appears that Rarity's child can change her form, would you happen to know why that is?" Celestia asked him.

The draconequus gently picked up Sofia, his small white beard tickled her nose as he looked at her.

"Achoo!" Sofia sneezed causing, a bright flash of white magic.

Discord was now holding a small white unicorn pony with blue eyes and a blond mane.

"Gesundheit little one!" He said with a grin, with a snap a tissue appeared and he rubbed her wet nose.

"So she is a human or a pony?" Richard said rubbing his forehead.

"Interesting she seems to have inherited some of my magic as well, in that case, you can just call me Uncle," Discord smiled and placed her on the floor.

Sofia stood up on all fours and slowly stumbled towards Mommy.

"She is perfect the way she is," Rarity smiled and laid on her side allowing Sofia to nurse.


Epilogue

Years has past and since that time Richard and Rarity got married which was also a symbolic gesture signaling the corporation between Equestria and Earth. So an Equestria Embassy was built with many features borrowed from Canterlot Castle incorporated into its design. It was a small building that functioned both as an embassy and a travel terminal between worlds. Trade relations and travel were still being worked out between this country’s government and Princess Celestia’s kingdom. Rarity was given the task as ambassador, which she accepted reluctantly under Princess Celestia's request.

In her office, Rarity was busy with sorting the paperwork. “Hmm, everything looks in order,” She said, adjusting her orange glasses.

Rarity glanced at her large wooden desk as she dipped a feather pen in ink and started signing the pages one at a time.

“Mommy, mommy,” A little girl said with excitement as she ran into the office.

Sofia was in her human form today, her skin was fair with big rosy cheeks and blonde hair tied behind her head. She was wearing her light blue dress with pink flowers that stopped just below the knees, white socks on her legs and purple shoes on her feet.

“Sofia, please knock first, and ask permission before entering,” Rarity said, looking down at her from her desk.

Sofia quickly backed up, and then knocked on the door, with her with her knuckles.

“Yes, dear?” Rarity said with a smile.

“Can I come in?” Sofia asked fidgeting on the spot.

“Why of course you can,” She said and dipped her hoof in a solution to remove some ink.

“Mom the mirror is glowing,” The young girl said happily.

Rarity looked at the clock on the wall, she climbed off her chair and landed on her hooves.

“Let’s see who it is,” Rarity said with a smile.


Arrival from Equestria flashed across the notification board, in both English and Equestrian displaying the differences in time. The large mirror stopped humming as it powered down, closing the portal. A peach colored unicorn stepped off the platform and looked around at her new surroundings, her fur was a blend of pink and orange. Her mane and tail were a light olive green with a small green tree cutie mark imprinted on her rear. She was wearing pink sunglasses, chewing bubble gum and blowing blue bubbles as she walked towards customs area, there was a small security line that zigged and zagged to a single border guard.

“Next,” The human guard said, motioning the pony to come forward.

The Unicorn sighed and walked up to the border guard's booth, the guard was a tall man white man wearing a border guard's uniform and badge.

“Name and papers,” He asked looking down at her.

“Peaches Melody,” She said as her horn glowed a light yellow.

The bag she was carrying on her side opened and her papers floated to the guard who grabbed them. He looked them over carefully, found her picture and looked back and the pony wearing sunglasses.

“Closer please,” Guard asked her.

Peaches moved closer and then the guard, grabbed her sunglasses and removed them, which revealed her green eyes, she flinched back in surprise blinking.

“What is your purpose of your visit?” He asked looking over her papers again, which had Princess Celestia’s royal signature.

“I am here to learn from one of your educational establishments, Princess Celestia has made arrangements with your government, it’s all right there on the pamphlet,” She said pointing with her hoof.

The guard looked over the papers once more, then took out an ink stamp and stamped each page before handing it back to her.

“Follow me please,” He climbed out the booth and lead her to the terminal.

Rarity was waiting at the exit when she saw Peaches walking out of two large doors, her horn was glowing as she struggled to pull her bags which looked like they were unpacked and repacked in a hurry.

“Peaches Melody is that you?” Rarity sounding surprised to see her.

“Rarity! I never expected to see you here, I thought you were still in ponyville,” Peaches asked looking back at her.

“That was a long time ago, it's so good to see you again, this is my daughter Sofia," Rairty said introducing her.

Peaches looked over at the smiling human girl with blue eyes and blond hair.

"Nice to meet you,” She said with a big smile.

Just as one story ends a new one has just started.


Author's Note

Pushed myself to get this story finished, sorry if it seems to be rushed in the end.
