Chapter 17
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna looked to the bed where her beloved laid peacefully sleeping as his wounds healed. It has been 7 days since she's heard his voice, 7 days since she's seen him give her that infamous crooked smile. She missed him...
He looked so peaceful as he slept despite that. His wound is all but healed now but he is yet to wake from his slumber.
She grabbed his hand with his hoof replacing the moonflower in the vase next to his bed next to the sunflower where it belonged. "I found out something today..." She whispered to him smiling.
"I'm with foal" She said feeling a burst of pride and happiness at the news. "You're gonna be a daddy, Astin so please...Wake up" She cried.
Celestia walked in with a somber expression before replacing the sunflower in the vase next to the fresh moonflower. "Come now, Luna. It's time for breakfast" She said before placing a gentle kiss on the human's forehead. Luna nodded and walked out hesitantly "Sweet dreams" She whispered as soon as Celestia left the room.
Breakfast was silent as usual. It was like things had been before. Celestia was always in Celestial council and Luna slept during the day when she wasn't visiting Astin. Twilight and her friends settled back in Ponyville with the new additions and the Crystal Empire moved back to the north.
It was utterly boring to Luna who had gotten used to the excitement of the human world. Celestia looked up at the dark alicorn whose face was scrunched up in disapproval as she poked her food. "Is something wrong, Lulu" She asked putting a haycake into her mouth.
Luna's head shot up, It had been the first time Celestia had called her Lulu since they got back. Her eyes filled with involuntary tears "No, I'm fine" She said with a smile. Celestia got up from her chair to stand over her little sister "You're crying..." She whispered nuzzling her.
Luna blushed pushing her away "It's just hormones..." She muttered turning away.
Celestia chuckled before walking back to her seat finishing her meal. "I have to go but Discord is coming for a visit with something from Zecora" She informed her before walking out of the room leaving Luna to her own devices.
Suddenly a poof sounded in the room and a familiar draconequus stood before her. "Hello Lulu and Lulu jr." He announced. Luna quickly looked around "Shhh!" She said urgently "Nobody knows yet besides Celestia and obviously you" She rolled her eyes.
"Ohhh yea secret" He whispered grabbing a flask "Zecora said that if you give this to him that he should wake up" He said. Luna gasped attempting to grab the flask from the draconequus "Ah! ah! ah! Say Discord is the most handsomest Lord of Chaos in Equestria" He said with a mischievous smirk.
Luna rolled her eyes before tapping into her inner actress "Oh Dissy, You are the most handsomest Lord of Chaos in all of Equestria" She said dramatically bowing to the Draconequus. Discord visibly cringed "I'll give you this flask if you promise never to do that again" He said in horror. Luna nodded with a smile grabbing the flask.
She dampened a towel with the silver liquid before pressing it to his nose making him breath in the fumes. Astin's body twitched a bit making Luna burst into a smile. Astin let out a groan feeling the daze fade away and his body becoming lighter.
Suddenly, familiar golden eyes opened gleaming as they met sunlight for the first time in a while. He hissed covering his face with the pillow. Luna giggled tapping him with her hoof. Astin turned towards her before shooting out of bed at a speed that would have made Rainbow Dash jealous.
He lifted her up and hugged her small frame "I missed you" He whispered planting kisses all over her face and muzzle making her blush. Luna smiled "I missed you too" She replied.
Astin smiled happily swinging Luna around as Celestia walked in. "ASTIN!!!" She squealed happily similar to a foal hugging the human tightly.
"Now tha your both here... I have a question" Astin said with a slight blush. Celestia and Luna tilted their heads adorably wondering what their mate had to ask.
"Celestia....Luna.....Will you grant me the honor of being your husband..." He asked getting on one knee bowing to the goddesses.
The two mares teared up "We would rather spend forever with you rather than any one else" Luna said hugging him tightly.
They both looked to Celestia to see her frozen in shock as tears ran down her face before she fell to the floor.
"Is that a yes or no?" Astin asked concerned
"I think you've broken my sister" Luna chuckled awkwardly
