Epilogue: Children of the Night

Epilogue: Children of the Night

As the graceful, silver glow of the glamorous moonlight shone in through the tall windows of her grand bedchamber, Princess Celestia lay on her bed miserable and exhausted yet unbearably tense, covers lying scattered about her as she cradled her large pregnant belly gently in her forehooves. It had been almost seven months now since she'd gotten pregnant and as she began nearing the end of her term, her belly was only growing far larger every day.

Soon she'd be going through the whole ordeal her sister had gone through two months ago, although unlike her sister she'd have a full team of the country's best doctors to help deliver her foal. The little one within her womb kicked and squirmed as she thought about that, almost as if they were happy that they'd be getting such royal treatment. Still, that wasn't to say Luna's foals, her niece, and nephew, were any worse off for having been delivered by Celestia herself really.

Celestia had been alive for over a thousand years, and in all that time she'd been a midwife to the delivery of her fair share of foals, albeit by accident or not. In fact, when it came time to deliver her sister’s offspring that night in her room, she wouldn’t have really trusted anypony other than herself to bring them into the world. As she’d seen them for the first time that night, indeed the first pony to ever see them, she still remembered to this day how both of the foals were absolutely beautiful.

The filly, whom Luna had named Aurora, was a small bat-pony filly who was almost a spitting image of her mother save the tufted ears, golden-yellow eye color, small fangs and slitted pupils from her father, her mane a mid-blue to match her deep-blue coat. As she’d seen her horn as well as wings, Celestia knew that her niece was also the second natural alicorn birth Celestia had ever heard of, her adoptive niece Flurry Heart being the first, and that Luna had gotten what she’d desired: a powerful defender of Equestria.

The only oddity was Aurora’s leathery bat wings rather than the traditional feathered Pegasus ones, undoubtedly inherited from her father alongside her eyes and ears. Those thestral traits would surely raise more than a few questions if she was ever discovered. For her very young age of only months old, she spoke with a wisdom beyond her years, surely an old soul in the vein of her mother. More often than once, Celestia had come into the foals’ nursery to see Aurora simply sitting there in a way no other filly would at only several months old, and when asked what she was doing, she would only reply that she was ‘thinking’. She had definitely taken that after Luna’s sage, philosophical personality, and likely also inherited her tendency to be brooding as well.

The second of Luna's twins was a little colt named Nocturne. A healthy little prince, he too was a bat-pony, though not an alicorn like his sister, having the wings of a thestral but no horn. His coat was a handsome shade of blue-grey, his mane a deep midnight-blue, and his eyes the beautiful blue of his mother’s but slitted like his father’s, as well as having a small pair of thestral fangs. He was far more playful and silly than his more stoic sister, acting like a colt should, trotting around with youthful exuberance and more than once making his mother and aunt laugh at his antics.

Celestia still remembering the night they were born fondly as she lay in bed, had remembered that the second-born colt had also been larger than his sister and pushing him out had caused more than a little discomfort for Luna that night months ago, though the complete joy and bliss on Luna’s face when she’d finally held her children in her arms was nigh incomparable to anything Celestia had seen in her life.

Still, it was more than evident now how much Luna loved both of her foals, perhaps even more than she had said as she’d been carrying them, as every evening before raising the moon, she'd tuck them both into their bassinette and sing to them. Add to fact that Celestia was one of only two ponies to know of their existence, and was needed to help tend to almost their every need despite being pregnant herself.

Still, it was a horrible shame that Luna still insisted on keeping the beautiful new prince and princess a secret, especially from their father. Dusk Hunter, their sire, was stationed right here in the castle and, because of what Celestia viewed as Luna's stupid desire to have secret guardians of Equestria, he could never know that those two adorable, sweet little foals were his own; that he was a father.

Once or twice Celestia had thought to tell him he was a father herself, and had asked Luna to at least let her foals’ fathers know of them, but Luna, with a heavy heart, still stubbornly insisted on secrecy despite seeing Dusk every day and acting like nothing had happened between them. Celestia knew that Luna had trusted her with his identity, that she couldn't betray her sister like that. It was Luna's right to tell him or not in the end, no matter what Celestia thought.

At that thought, Celestia rolled over, grumbling slightly at the cramp in her gut as her little foal kicked up a storm in its shrinking temporary home. Resting on her side she looked down at her distended belly, rubbing it once again.

"Sorry little one, but mommy has to get up soon. You're really laying hard on her bladder." Celestia said to the restless mass, but as if in defiance of the statement, it only began to wriggle more.

"Ooof, all night, huh?" Celestia groaned, pressing a hoof to the mass, and feeling another smaller hoof kick against it almost instantly, unable to help cracking a grin; "Haha, there you are my little one!"

After getting up and relieving herself of her bladder’s burden, Celestia then whimsically began to try and sooth her boisterous foal, before she was caught off-guard as the doors to her chamber opened and somepony slid in. Celestia recalled that she was not supposed to be disturbed during the night; then again, when had that ever stopped Equestria from being in danger before? All she could think was that this had better be important.

Struggling to sit up, and grunting as her swollen bump fell between her legs, Celestia looked about her room and almost instantly came eye to eye with her little sister. Luna looked very tired, not to mention the extra weight she'd gained while carrying the twins was still rather evident now that the large pregnant belly wasn’t there to distract from it. Even so, with the amount of running around after the foals, especially with Aurora and her alicorn magic outbursts, Luna was sure to burn that off in time.

Still, Celestia wondered what her sister was doing her in the middle of the night though and intended to find out just that.

"Oh, Luna… I… I wasn't expecting to see you here," Celestia stated in surprise, but all Luna did in response was look about the darkened room cautiously.

"Do forgive the intrusion sister, but...may I ask...is thine beau Sun Strike around?" Luna asked, eyes still darting about the room.

"Why no, he's stationed on the outer wall tonight. He will not be back until morning and then I assume he will wish to rest...why do you ask Luna?” Celestia responded skeptically, not being able to read her sister’s intentions just yet.

At the confirmation that Celestia’s mate and the father of her sister’s foal was indeed not here, Luna began to creep forwards. "Well, I was thinking...today was the first day that I was able to get both of the twins to sleep on time. They’re both absolutely exhausted after I took them out flying. Plus, Aurora nearly broke the invisibility illusion I cast on us all with a giant surge of uncontrolled magic caused by sneezing, and that took a lot out of her." Luna said as she crept right up to Celestia, pushing until Celestia was forced back into the bed with a soft puff of the covers and mattress.

"I was thinking that, while I have some scant free time now for the first time in what feels like forever, that we..." Luna's muzzle curled into a sly smile, and as Celestia regarded her she felt an uneasy twitch in her bloated stomach.

"...that we may finish what we started the night I had the foals… you know, consider you never really got anything other than a face full of my various fluids, and a lot of my kicking and screaming for it to all end." Luna finished with a blush.

"Oh, and how do you plan to do that? I recall one of the major factors of that evening was the fact you were still full of foals and I found that sexy?" Celestia mused, but Luna only smiled.

"True, ‘Tia, true…but now I can move again I can please you in a different way. Plus, you're still very much with a foal after all," Luna added, slowly rubbing a hoof over Celestia's quivering belly and ushering a heated shudder from the larger alicorn, “...and that is indeed very sexy.

At such a response, Luna's sly grin grew wider as her horn began to glow, and from behind her back levitated up a very large strap-on dildo, as well as a ball gag.

"So, ‘Tia, do you want to see what it feels like to be filled with a cock and foals at the same time...by your sister? If you like it, then I don't know…maybe one day you could return the favor.” Luna mused, meanwhile sliding the dildo’s harness over her own pelvis as she received a small nod of consent from her sister, “I mean, who says we have to stop at just one pregnancy? I think I could be pregnant all the time, filled up to bursting, then giving birth to more and more foals of our royal blood!" Luna stated, resting her head on her sister's belly and stroking it like it was some kind of precious pile of gold, meanwhile using her magic to softly rub along her older sister’s folds with the tip of the pseudo-phallus.

“After all, aren’t royal families traditionally very large? The royals of old used to sire or give birth to tens of foals, so why shouldn’t we?”

"Oh, Luna..." Celestia said, smiling wryly, "...you can fill me up with that as much as you want any day, and right now I think you owe me as much as you can give for what I did for you that night. Hay, maybe one day I’ll even invite Sun to join us. I’m positive he wouldn’t mind bedding two princesses" she said, spreading her back legs wide in invitation.

“I would like that sister, very much. It has been far too long since I’ve been with a real stallin. Who knows, perhaps he could even sire my next foal as well!” Luna said, grinning as she mounted her sister.

Celestia smiled, nodding a little at the thought of watching her sister getting impregnated by her colt-friend, but that was all for a later time, after she gave birth to her foal no doubt. Perhaps tonight would be a good night after all, Celestia thought, smiling as she felt the tip of the dildo slide into her, and her sister’s loving kisses on her muzzle.
