Daughter of the night

5 months later, Twilight and I, went for our checkup, and we found out that I was carrying twins, which surprised us. You can say I was shocked, but very happy at the same time. Since we were 5 months pregnant, we decided to go stay with my mom and aunt. So, I decided to send them a letter letting them know we were planning on heading to Canterlot.

"Dear Mom and Auntie,

Twilight and I were wondering if you can send a chariot to pick us up and bring us to you. We decided to stay with you since we only have 6 months to go.

Love Lucky and Twilight,"

Once I finished writing the letter I sent it and waited for a response. The next thing I know a scroll with my mothers royal seal appears.

"Dear Lucky and Twilight,

I'm sending a chariot to you, it should arrive in 30 minutes. I'm so glad you decided to come and stay with us. See you both soon.

Love Mom."

"Twilight, we have 30 minutes to get ready, so let's get packed up and ready to go to Canterlot," I said.

"Ok, Lucky," Twilight said.

"Twilight, I know you like to pack a lot but we don't need to pack much for this trip. I know we will be staying there for a while, but trust me, everything we will need will be there," I said.

"Ok, Lucky. I trust you." Twilight said.

The next thing we know we hear a knock at our door, so I head over and open it. It was our ride to Canterlot.

"Do you need help loading your majesty?" The guard asked.

"Yes I do, Thank you," I said.

Once we were loaded up we headed for Canterlot. It was a nice quick trip there. As we landed, my mom and aunt were there waiting for us.

"Mom, Auntie, it's so good to see you, I missed you both," I said as I gave each of the a hug.

"It's great to see you both again too. I missed you both so much," Luna said, as she returned our hug.

"I'm so glad to see you both again, I really missed you," Celestia said, as she also joined our family hug.

As we made our way to the castle, we got quite a few stares from everypony, so we just kept walking. Once we made it inside we headed to my room to take a nap. Being pregnant with twins drains you a lot quicker, so I passed out pretty quick with Twilight snuggled up close to me. By the time we woke up it was dinner time, so we made our way to the dining area to eat with mom and Auntie. Once we arrived we took our seats and placed our order with the waiter.

"Mom, Auntie you know I'm pregnant but what you don't know is that I'm carrying twins. Twin Alicorns in fact." I said.

"Wow!, that's incredible Lucky, I'm so happy for both of you," Celestia said.

"Wow!, Lucky. Your very lucky, A natural born Alicorn is very rare and only happened once before. And it was you my daughter, Congratulations.” Luna said.

"Thanks, mom and Auntie," I said.

A few moments later, our food arrived, and it was delicious as usual. After dinner, Twilight and I went for a walk around Canterlot. But before we left, my mom got 2 of her most trusted guards to go with us. Captain Bade and Lieutenant Amaya.

"Bade, Amaya, you do know you don't need to be formal around me right," I said.

"Of course, Lucky," They said in unison.

"Thank you, It doesn't feel right with my friends calling me princess," I said.

"We understand, Lucky, considering we grew up together," They said.

"That's true. We did have some good time together, didn't we?" I asked.

"Yes ,we did." They said.

We continued our walk around Canterlot, enjoying the sights. After about 30 minutes of walking, we ended up in the park. We decided to relax for a little bit, before heading back.

"Twilight, you ready to head back?" I asked.

"Yes, I am Lucky. Twilight answered.

As we made our way back to the castle I felt the pull of the moon, so we stopped and I brought forth the night again. The stars shined brighter than they ever have before, and I even added a meteor shower. It was indeed a spectacular sight for anypony looking at the night sky. Once we made it back to the castle, we walked to my mothers chambers. Once there I knocked on the door and my mom said “enter”.

Twilight and I, made our way in and on the balcony was my mom, who looked more beautiful than ever. She was looking at our night sky, with tears in her eyes.

"Lucky, I love your sky tonight, tis very beautiful," Luna said, while crying.

"Thanks mom, I decided to spice it up tonight." I said, as I noticed my mother crying and gave her a hug.

"Thou did a fine job Lucky, I'm so proud of you," Luna said, while returning my hug.

"Thanks mom. I have a question for you? Why are you crying? Also, can I have Bade and Amaya as my personal guard?" I asked.

"Of course you can have them, Lucky. I know how close you three are. As for why I'm crying, your sky tonight. It reminds me of something I did for your father, for when he passed away." Luna said, while crying more.

"Thanks mom, your the best. Who was my father, mom? I asked.

“Your father was, Star swirl the Bearded. He was the most powerful unicorn, of his time. He passed away just before you were born, Lucky. You would have loved him, Lucky. He was so kind and smart. I miss him so much. Luna said, with her tears flowing freely like a river.”

“Really, mom. My father is Star swirl the Bearded!” I said, looking highly shocked.

“Yes, Lucky. I know I should have told you this sooner. For that I'm truly sorry.” Luna said.

“I understand, mom. Your right, you should have told me this a long time ago. But I forgive you. I'm just glad, that I finally know who my father is. I wish I could have known him.” I said.

“There is a way, that I could show you what he was like. I could pass my memories of him to you, if that would help, Lucky?” Luna asked.

“I would like that very much, mom.” I said, as we touched our horns together.

As our horns touched, I saw my father for the first time. He was such a kind and caring stallion. As the memories kept moving forward, I saw the last one. My father had to deal with an evil. called the Pony of Shadows. He disappeared, and never returned. As the memory was ending, I saw how hurt my mother was, when he didn't return. So I tightened my hug on her, as I started crying too.

“Thank you, mom, for showing me what my father was like. By the looks of the memory, father didn't die. He just vanished, without a trace. I think he's alive, but stuck in limbo. I wish we could help him. I would love to meet my father, face to face.” I said.

“I never considered that possibility before, Lucky. If we had his journal, then there might be a chance. But sadly, his journal has been lost to time.” Luna said.

“Maybe somepony has his journal, mom. But they probably can't read it, considering its written in old Equestrian.” I said.

“That's true, Lucky.” Luna said.

“I love you, mom.” I stated.

"I love you too, Lucky, and thou as well Twilight," Luna said.

"Thanks mom, I love you too," Twilight said.

As we headed to our room Bade and Amaya followed. They heard, mom say they can be our personal guard. Once we made it to our room, we said goodnight to them and walked inside. We climbed onto the bed and snuggled very close to each other as we said our goodnights and I love you. Sleep overtook us fairly quick as we embraced each other.
