Princess Mom

A crowd had gathered outside of the Canterlot castle. Everypony had stopped what they were doing to get a look at what was near the front doors of the castle. The crowd got so bad, that royal guards were dispatched to spread everyone apart.

"What are they?!"

"They're so cute!"

"Are they dangerous?" Everypony was asking.

The guards remained silent, as they always do. Everypony got impatient. Before a riot could happen, Princess Celestia herself emerged from the castle. Everypony stopped their arguing and bowed down to the sun princess. The royal guards stepped aside to allow Celestia to approach what gathered everyone's attention.

She approached a fairly large woven basket. A blue blanket was over the top, the handle of the basket letting a pocket of air rest inside. Celestia raised an eyebrow. She used her magic to levitate the blanket up slightly, peeking at what was inside. She gasped as the things inside stared back. She pulled up the blanket completely, and revealed what was in there.

Four odd looking creatures were inside. They had no fur, no muzzles, and no hooves. They had claw-like appendages on the ends of their forelimbs. A little hair was on their heads. They seemed a little chubby, but not fat. Their clothes were blue, and covered all parts of their body except for their heads. They all had equally puzzled looks on their faces, as if they had no clue to what was happening. Judging by how they idly acted, they seemed to be infants.

A few ponies gasped at what they saw. Some freaked out, and a mare fainted. The commotion around them caused the infant creatures to cry. They were scared and in an unfamiliar place.

"Princess, what should we do?" A royal guard asked Celestia, slightly irritated from the infant screaming.

"I'll bring them into the castle. While I do, I want you to disperse this crowd." Celestia said, placing the blanket back over the basket and levitating it off the ground.

"Yes, Princess."

While the guards did what they were told to do, Celestia levitated the basket back into the castle. The crying continued from under the blanket, and the screams echoed through the halls. She pulled up the blanket and looked at them. The second they saw her, they ceased crying and stared. When she placed the blanked back down, they began crying again. She once again, pulled up the blanket and let them see her. This seemed to be enough to get them to stop crying.

Once she stepped into the throne room, she was greeted by her servants.

"Princess, what do you have here?" A female servant asked the sun goddess.

"I'm not sure...but they are quite adorable. I think they're babies." Princess Celestia said, looking back at the infants.

They cooed at her, one of them giggled a little. Celestia couldn't hold back a chuckle.

"Whatever these creatures are, they may need somepony to look after them, " Celestia started, "They were alone...well, minus the crowd."

"What shall I do?" Her servant asked, "Should I get somepony to take care of them?"

Celestia thought about it for a moment. She levitated the basket closer to her face, just so she could look at them. Two had blue eyes, one had brown eyes, and the fourth had green eyes. They looked back at her with curiosity. Suddenly, one of the babies with blue eyes reached out and grabbed Celestia's nose. She pulled her head away in response.

"What are you doing?" she asked the infant.

In response, the four babies burst out laughing. Celestia suddenly found herself laughing too.

"No, I have a much better idea," Celestia said to her servant, "Let's put them in the spare room. We'll put them in cribs, and keep them here until we figure out what to do with them next."

"Of course, Princess." The servant responded before rushing out of the room.

Later that day, the Princess was asked to come to the spare room. She brought the infants with her, and went into the room. Inside, the servants outdone themselves making the place perfect for a baby...or four. There were a few toys in the corners, four cribs, a shelf with some books, and a drawer.

"This is amazing. You all did very well." Celestia said, "What do you four think?" She asked the infants, showing them the room.

They cooed in response, as they couldn't understand much of what was happening. She carefully levitated them out of the basket, and set them each into separate cribs. They moved their arms around a little, occasionally cooing and trying to grab their feet. Suddenly, a rumbling noise could be heard. The one with green eyes began to sniffle, before crying. Not long after he started, the other three began sobbing as well.

"Oh no, what's wrong?" A servant asked.

"I think they're hungry." Celestia said, approaching their cribs, "What should we feed them?"

"How about some milk?"

"Good idea!"

The servant left for a moment and returned with four baby bottles filled with milk on a tray. She set them on top of the drawer.

"Shall I get somepony to help me feed them?" The servant asked.

"No...but...may I do it?" Celestia asked.

"Of course, Princess."

The servant left Celestia with the infants, who were still crying. She levitated them out of their cribs, and hovered them close to her. She then brought the bottles up to the infants, who then began to drink the milk. The tears, the screaming, and the drama was stopped by a simple bottle of milk. Celestia breathed a small sigh of relief as silence returned to her.

"Where are your parents?" she asked the babies, who didn't respond.

"Hm. I wonder if you four have names." She said.

She noticed that there were some name tags sewn onto the infant's clothes. She examined them. One with blue eyes was named Nick, and the other blue-eyed baby was named Luke. The one with green eyes was named Richard, and the one with brown eyes was named Elmer. Odd names. Celestia thought to herself.

When the infants finished their milk, they belched loudly. This made Celestia laugh out loud, followed by the babies laughing with her. She levitated Richard up close to her and nuzzled his cheek. He giggled in response. She then noticed Luke raising his arms up to her. She levitated Luke closer to her face. The baby again grabbed her nose, but Celesta didn't pull away this time. Luke then pulled himself closer to Celestia, and then hugged her. Celestia suddenly felt a happy, peaceful feeling. She was unexperienced with foals, but she seemed to be working well with these infants so far...and they seemed to like her.

She levitated Luke away from her face, but he started to whine in response. She brought him back to her, and he went right back to hugging her. Suddenly, she felt all four of the infants hugging her. She smiled warmly and hugged back.

Part of her told her that she just found these things, and she was already warming up to them. The other side of her paid no mind. It was almost like she knew these four babies for a long time, even though she just met them. After hugging them for a solid twenty minutes, she heard snoring. She looked at them, and saw that all four babies fell asleep. She levitated them back into their cribs, tiptoed out of the room, and walked away. The spare room was right next to hers, so she could check on them quickly if something went wrong.

The rest of the day was normal, she continued her daily business without any interruptions. Right after she lowered the sun and raised the moon, she went into bed. She fell asleep for only an hour before she heard crying. She quickly jumped out of her bed and ran to the spare room. When she entered, she saw the four babies crying in their cribs. She levitated them up from their cribs and brought them close to her. Upon seeing her, they stopped crying and stared at her.

"Shh, shh. It's okay. I've got you," Celestia said, comforting the infants.

She listened to their tummies. No grumbling. She sniffed the air. They didn't make any stinkies.

"What's wrong?" She asked the infants.

The four responded by looking at her with confused faces. Celestia thought for a moment. She was tired, and she came up with a quick idea.

The next day, at about 5:00 AM, three servants were heading to Princess Celestia's room to wake her up. Since she controls both the sun and moon, she has to wake up early to start the process. They opened the door walked in.

"Princess," One said.

"It's time to raise the su-," Another started, but was cut off when they saw what was in front of them.

"Aww," The third said.

In the bed, Celestia was snuggling the four babies up close to her like a mother would. They were all sleeping soundly, quietly snoring. It really was a heart-warming sight to see.

"You know what? Let's give them five more minutes," The first servant whispered.

They all agreed and left Celestia to continue sleeping, the four infants in her embrace.

Author's Note

Yeah, I know. This was a short chapter. It's mainly supposed to be an intro, so you know what to expect in the future.

PS: This takes place when even the Mane 6 are infants and Nightmare Moon is still banished. Just figured I should let you know :twilightsheepish:

Her Children Are Humans!

A few months passed. However, Celestia hardly noticed that the time passed so fast. The few months with these odd creatures had been some of the best months of her life. She never saw these types of creatures before, but she noticed they had a slight resemblance to apes.

She was determined to figure out what exactly they were. She contacted Canterlot's biologists to try and determine what these creatures were. They tested their DNA, but there were no matches. However, she DID learn that the four were unrelated. She turned to mythology as a last resort. As it turns out...she was currently taking care of humans, intelligent two-legged creatures that were said to be able to invent amazing things with their own two hands. While there was no concrete proof, they were said to exist 200,000 years ago. Way before Celestia was alive.

However, this did not bother Celestia in the slightest. She grew to loving the four humans as if they were her own foals, er...humans. Every day, she would feed and play with them. Whenever she had spare time, she would play peek-a-boo with them, tickle them, or levitate them around a little. She loved the four, and the four loved her.

The servants and the guards grew fond of the babies as well. The servants were usually the ones who changed the diapers, or cleaned up spills or any other messes the little humans would make. While the four humans made sure nopony had spare time, everypony loved them.

Everyone except Celestia's nephew, Prince Blueblood.

Now, the prince was still young at the time. He was five years old, but that personality stuck with him all the way into adulthood. Anyways, he used to be the center of attention at the castle. Ever since the humans came, he was given less attention. It wasn't because nopony liked him, the babies just needed the extra attention. The snotty prince disliked this, as well as the humans themselves.

"Why does Auntie like these things so much?" he would ask, "They're just hairless, chubby monkies!"

Well, his words were eaten after the first few months. Nick and Richard were starting to grow hair on their heads, Elmer was still bald, and Luke had a full head of brownish-blackish hair.

Aside from the babies growing full heads of hair, they were definitely getting smarter. While they were young, they definitely had a grasp on their surroundings. They recognized voices, and showed this by the looks on their faces. If their personal guards were nearby talking, they would make surprised faces. If they heard Celestia talking nearby, they would make toothless smiles and grab at the air. When Prince Blueblood was nearby, they had mixed reactions. Elmer and Luke would scowl, Richard would cry, and Nick would do a raspberry at the Prince if he saw him.

"Why not just get rid of them?" The young Blueblood asked one day, "Just toss them outside, or give them to the pound!"

"Blueblood!" Celestia responded, angrily, "They are not just animals, they are humans! They are babies, my children, and YOUR cousins!"

"Wh- what?!"

Celestia calmed herself, "We are done discussing this. Go to your room."

"But-" Blueblood started.

"ROOM!"

"Y-yes, Auntie."

While that was the last argument that they had about keeping the four, Blueblood still despised the humans.

Celestia didn't care. He could think whatever he wanted, but these humans were her children. They may be adopted, but they were her own. They made her feel like more than just the solar monarch of Equestria. She was no longer just a princess. She was a mother.

And no matter what ponies said, she loved the humans as if they were her own.

Author's Note

Again, short chapter. There will be a sequence of these to give some backstory to what's to come. Until then, I will update frequently.

"Dummy!"

It has been nine months since Celestia adopted the humans she now calls her sons. They were doing well. Recently, they had been making attempts to crawl. Elmer was able to lift his head by himself the quickest. Richard and Luke did a week after him, and Nick took the longest to lift his head. Once that was accomplished, they were crawling all over the place. Servants and guards were told to always watch out, because Celestia's sons were crawling everywhere.

Celestia had also been trying to teach them how to speak for the past few weeks. While they didn't say anything yet, they could identify things. One day, she put them to a test: She placed an Apple, a teddy bear, and a diaper in front of them. Whenever she said "Apple", they would all grab for the apple. When she said "Bear", they all grabbed at the bear. When she said "Diaper", everyone except Nick grabbed at the diaper. Nick was pointing away. When Celestia looked in the direction he was pointing at, it turns out that Nick was pointing at his cousin...Prince Blueblood.

Celestia will never forget the time her children said their first word. It was a winter afternoon, the snow falling outside. Celestia decided to take the four outside to see the snow. She had specially made clothes for them: Blue onesies made of flannel, and matching blue hats. The little humans were confused at first, but laughed when a snowflake landed on Elmer's nose. Celestia even had a little fun. She used her magic to make four little snowmen, one for each of the humans. She then set them in front of their frosty counterparts, and they got smiles wider than the sky. This was when she noticed that they all had their teeth come in.

She told her servants to stay there and watch the humans while she quickly ran to get a camera. Once she left, Blueblood came outside with fancy winter clothing. The snotty brat approached the four humans, who were still laughing away at the snowmen, and approached little Elmer. Elmer looked up at Blueblood and scowled at him as usual.

"Ugh...you are truly ugly," Blueblood said as he lifted Elmer's hat and looked at his bald head, "Let's see how funny this is when it's got no head!"

Suddenly, he levitated the head of Elmer's snowman and sent it flying. Elmer, at first, started crying...making the young blueblood feel quite satisfied. Suddenly, Elmer did the unthinkable. Before the servants could do anything, Elmer got up on his two legs, walked up to his annoying cousin, and gave him a single, solid punch. It wasn't a weak punch, either. Elmer was actually quite muscular for his age, and wasn't a stranger to pulling himself up when he woke in the morning.

The punch sent Blueblood back a few feet, and he rolled right into Celestia's legs. She looked down at him, levitating a camera near her. She then looked at her children, who looked just as shocked as she was, except for Elmer...who looked completely normal. She took one look at the headless snowman and got irritated.

"Blueblood, did you do this?" Celestia asked.

"Uhh...hehe...n-no, Auntie!" Blueblood said.

Celestia looked at her sons, who were looking back at her. Suddenly, they all pointed their fingers at Blueblood and yelled a single word in unison.

"Dummy!" They yelled.

Celestia looked down at Blueblood...who was shuttering, his nose slightly dripping with blood. Celestia scowled at him, and only said two words to him.

"Room. Now." she said, sternly.

Blueblood quickly got back up on his hooves and ran off. Once he was out of hearing range, Celestia jumped up and down like a filly who tried soda for the first time.

"Your first word!" She giggled, "You four said your first word!"

The four humans could understand a little bit of what she was saying, and they too laughed and cheered a little. After Celestia repaired Elmer's snowman's head, she then pointed a camera at them and sat them next to each other. Each in front of their snowmen.

"Say 'cheese'!" Celestia said.

Unexpectedly, the four said, "Cheese!" as Celestia snapped another photo for her scrapbook .

Author's Note

Like I said, there will be a lot of short chapters like these in the beginning. In the future, longer chapters will be posted.

Love at first sight...

Years passed by quicker than one could imagine. When the humans turned six, they were able to go to kindergarten to learn. There were two schools for foals to learn: Magic kindergarten, and regular kindergarten. Magic kindergarten was for unicorns, and regular kindergarten was for earth ponies and pegasi. Both schools were right next to each other, and it was obvious that the humans weren't going to magic school.

When the first day of school came, Celestia was a little bit nervous about how other students would react to her children. Would they be afraid? Would they be teased? Or worse...what if her kids were the ones who would be causing problems?

Well, it turned out that there was nothing to be worried about. Everyone in the kindergarten was excited to hear that the four young princes were coming to learn there. The four humans had their own reactions to coming to school. While Nick was not interested in learning...he did like the attention he was getting. He was seen as "the cool one" in the group. Elmer didn't have much of a reaction at all. In fact, he seemed like he could care less about being at school. Richard came ready to learn. He was happy to be socializing with the other students, but was clearly more interested in learning. Luke walked in with a smile on his face, and felt like he could take on anything. He wanted to make friends, learn stuff, and play.

Despite Nick's lack of educational interest, the four handled school pretty well at first. Their grades and social statuses told a lot about themselves. Nick was the popular one, Richard was the brainy one, and Elmer was average. However, Luke got the lowest grades. Even more so than Nick. It's not that Luke hated learning, he just...struggled with the material. This worried Celestia, and she feared that she may have to hold him back for another year.

That all changed one day.

Halfway into the school year, Celestia was visiting the unicorn kindergarten. There was an after-school event going on, where the unicorns who struggled socially would have a chance to attempt to make friends. Among these unicorn students, there was Twilight Sparkle. She was a very intelligent filly for her age, but wasn't good with making or interacting with friends. Celestia tried and tried, but she couldn't just tear someone away from their studies.

During the event, Luke, Elmer, Richard, and Nick arrived at the unicorn kindergarten in search of their mom.

"Hi, mom!" Richard said as he and his brothers walked into the classroom.

"Kids, why aren't you heading home with the guards?" Celestia asked.

"We wanted you to come with us." Nick said.

"I told you, Mommy was going to be here today after school."

By this time, most of the unicorns stopped what they were doing and were looking at the four young princes.

"Look!" one shouted, "It's Prince Nick" one yelled.

"It's Prince Elmer!" another said.

"They're all here!" a third yelled.

Most of the unicorns crowded around the princes, Nick enjoying most of the attention. Luke got shy, and wandered around the classroom a bit. At one point, he decided to sit down and draw a little. When he got to the table, though, his eyes widened and his heart got all fluttery. He was looking at possibly the prettiest pony he had ever seen. She was lavender colored, her mane and tail a dark shade of purple. He got nervous, but decided to try and talk to her. Sheepishly, he approached her and attempted to make conversation.

"H-hi there," Luke said.

"Hello," the filly responded, not looking up from her book.

"You're...really smart." Luke says, noticing that the filly is reading a novel.

"Uh huh..."

"Uh...okay, bye!"

Luke left, seeing Twilight was obviously not interested in talking.

"Mom?" Luke asked Celestia, "Who's that purple pony?"

"Oh, her? That's Twilight Sparkle." Celestia responded.

"Wow...she's...really pretty..."

"Ooooooh...Luke likes somepony!" Nick said, tauntingly. Luke's face turned red in response.

The day after that, Luke was showing a dramatic academic change. His grades skyrocketed from an F...to an A! Celestia was stunned, but also impressed. Luke also started to show an interest in reading, so Celestia got him books to read. Luke's teacher was impressed by how much he had improved, and offered to send him to advanced classes for gifted pegasi and earth ponies.

As much as Luke wanted to get smart to impress Twilight...he didn't want to get separated from his brothers. So he refused. Celestia knew why, and it brings a smile to her face when she thinks of his act of loyalty to his siblings.

They're going to do great things when they grow up. Celestia told herself that night.
