The Princesses, mane five, Nightlight and Velvet's jaws all dropped when they heard the wonderful and happy news. Soon, their shocked expressions soon turned into a buoyant one when their muzzles slowly began to grin.

"Oh my Celestia." Fluttershy gasped.

"CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO!" Pinkie exclaimed with a wide smile.

"I'm gonna have a cousin?" Flurry asked

"Oh my, I can't wait to become a grandmother to your child!" Velvet yelled happily.

"And I cannot wait to become a grandfather." Nightlight said in an exhilarated tone.

"I'm gonna be an uncle!" Shining Armor exclaimed happily.

"Wow, I cannot wait to teach and meet your child." Celestia said, and Luna nodded in agreement.

The mane five are feeling absolutely ebullient to become aunts for Thorax and Twilight's upcoming child, they are also very exhilarated to do lots and lots of cool and merriment things with him during his young period.

The ponies in the room all began to ask Thorax and Twilight all sorts of inquiries starting from: what the gender of the baby is, what do they want to name their child, how would they want to play with him/her and many more.

"Whoa whoa let's all calm down here." Thorax told them, and the princesses and ponies all relaxed and were silent. "Currently we do not know what the gender of our child is. In fact, we do not know what we intend to do with him once he is born. But, one things for sure is that we would definitely spend a lot of exuberant times with him or her depending on what the gender of our child will be." He said in a specific tone.

"Yeah I have to agree with my Thory here, we currently do not know what the gender of our baby is, as well as what we want to do with him or her." Twilight told them "And we would definitely do our very best in raising him or her." She finished.

The ponies all nodded in agreement after hearing Thorax and Twilight's logical words. Right now it is too early to judge on what gender their child is, it is also too early to decide on what they want to do with him or her as well. So, they're just going to have to wait and see.

"Okay, I guess we're just going to have to be patient." Rainbow Dash said, and her friends all nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, after all, this is just the start of your lives as a family." Fluttershy said in a logical tone "Plus, families need time and patience to know the answers." She added.

"You two can take your time as much as you two like to." Celestia told them.

"Thank you all for understanding." Thorax said with a warm smile along with his wife.

"You're very welcome." Celestia said with a smile. She was going to ask them about something else but suddenly, Nightlight and Velvet walked forward in front of her which caught her off by surprise.

"Anyways, would you like some advices during your pregnancy Twilight?" Nightlight asked offering to help.

"It's okay mister Light, I can take care of your daughter my-"

"Thorax, let ask for some advice from my parents please?" Twilight asked, and Thorax eventually nodded in acceptance.

"Okay Twily, we can ask them for some help." Thorax agreed, and Twilight nuzzled his cheek from his kindness.

"Okay, shall we begin?" Velvet asked with a wide smile.

"By all means." Thorax said.

"Wonderful!" Velvet exclaimed contentedly "Lets take it outside." She suggested.

After that, Nightlight and Velvet both walked out of the meeting room along with the Princesses and mane five, then Thorax and Twilight both exited after them. Finally, Nightlight, Velvet and Shining Armor began to give their daughter some advices on what she should do and eat during her pregnancy, while the mane five and Princesses began to give Thorax some advices on how to take care of Twilight through her excruciating and intense moments between her pregnancy. The ponies all basically began to train the couple.

In the study room or library, the Princesses and mane five were all edifying and giving Thorax lots of informations on how to take care of Twilight during her pregnancy as well as what pregnancy is. They instructed him on how to carefully assist her on walking, what food he should give her, what to do when she is in pain, always remain equanimous when she is in a smarting and distressing state. And Thorax was truly flabbergasted and shocked to hear all of these information.

"Oh my, I have read lots of biology and medical based books before but, I have never known that pregnancy is a very daunting thing for females to go through." Thorax said with an anxious expression. He had horrifying thoughts in his head on what Twilight would go through if he leaves her unattended. And he loves her too much to do something like that. "What can I do to help her?" He asked wanting to know.

"Alright so first of, you have to calm yourself down Thorax." Celestia told him.

"Yeah, you won't be any help or good if you keep panicking." Fluttershy agreed.

Thorax took their information and took a deep breath. After that, he slowly exhaled and is now composed.

"Okay, I have calmed down." Thorax told them, and that made the ponies smile "What should I do?" He asked. Then, Applejack began to give him some advices.

"Okay now listen up Thorax, giving birth is one of the most distressing and terrifying times in a mares life. It can be very excruciating and unpleasant Twilight as well." Applejack informed him, and that made him even more anxious. But before his instincts could make him panic, Applejack began to give him some advices "The best way you can do to help her is to never leave her unattended." She told him.

"You should always remember to feed her some highly nutritious foods as well as some water in order to keep her and your child vigorous." Cadence informed.

"Never let her go on vacation or any other far away places if she is around seven or eight months." Rainbow Dash told him sternly.

"Always remain calm when she is in pain and lead her to a tranquil area like you and her bedroom." Fluttershy counselled.

"Never let her eat sweets like cake, candies or other things otherwise, it will provoke detrimental harm to your baby." Pinkie told him.

"Always remember to help her walk because, a mare could stagger when they walk during their pregnancy." Luna told him.

"And most significantly, reduce her stress by doing some of her favourite things like reading a book." Celestia told him.

Thorax took a while to acknowledge the ponies complex and perplexing words. All of those informations do seem like a lot of hard work but, it is for his wife and child's own good. He also had all of these suitable places for Twilight for her to eat, rest, read a book and many more to relieve her stress, and these places were known as their bedroom and library. In addition to that, he will have to give her some nutritious foods like oats, fruits, salads etc to keep her and his child robust and strong. After a brief moment of planning, Thorax has acknowledged the ponies words and has a wonderful and clever plan in his mind in assisting Twilight through her pregnancy.

"Okay, I think I have some plans." Thorax told them. Then, he began to disclose it to them "I will always be by Twilight's side when she needs me, I will help her relieve her stress by reading books, I will feed her nutritious foods like: porridge, vegetables, salads, fruits. And I will always remember to help her walk." He told them.

The four Princesses and mane five all smiled delightfully at Thorax's wonderful, clever and logical words. He sure is a very intelligent, kind and generous Changeling.

"Well said Thorax." Applejack said with a satisfied nod.

"Thank you Applejack, I couldn't have done it without the help of you all." He told them.

"It's alright Thorax." Celestia told him "After all, it is what we can do to help you get Twilight through the most painful time of her life." She finished.

"And I appreciate you all for doing that." Thorax said with a smile.

In Twilight and Thorax's bedroom, Nightlight, Velvet and Shining Armor were seen accompanying Twilight while she is on her and her husband's bed while she was having her wings on her belly. They then began to give her some lessons about maintaining her and her child's health safety.

"Okay Twily, you're now in your pregnant times." Nightlight told her "And you need to be cautious of what you do." He finished.

"It's alright dad, as long as Thorax is with me, everything will be okay." Twilight told him. But, Velvet still decided to give her some instructions.

"You still need some instructions sweetie." Velvet told her. Then, she began to to talk "So first of, you cannot recklessly go anywhere without the assistance of your husband Thorax." She told her.

"Secondly, you must not eat any snacks or sweets otherwise you will put your baby in peril." Shining told her.

"Finally, you must not participate in any outdoors activities otherwise you will suffer through excruciating moments." Nightlight told her

Twilight took a moment to acknowledge her families words towards her. It is true that she should prevent doing all those activities in order to maintain the health safety of her and Thorax's child. After a brief moment, gave her family a nod.

"Roger that guys."

"Wonderful." Nightlight, Velvet and Shining Armor said in unison with smiles.

The ponies all decided to give Thorax and Twilight more informations on how to raise their child and many other things but, they're already well aware of all of those obligations and were okay. They were very happy to hear that.

The lessons came to an end in the evening and The Princesses, mane five, Nightlight, Velvet and Shining Armor all decided that it was the time to go home. They all said goodbye to Thorax and Twilight and took off back to their homes.

Thorax decided to have some fun with with his wife in order to relieve the boredom and stress in her, so he began to bring her to their bedroom. And just as his friends have informed, he needs to help her walk. So, he helped her walk through the hallway and to their bedroom.

Once he got to the doors of their bedroom, Thorax pushed the doors open with his magic and stepped in with his wife, closing the doors behind him in the process. After that, he made his way to the King sized bed. Once he got to it, he slowly and cautiously helped Twilight on it, and he has caught a lightning in a bottle while doing that! Finally, he tuck her in bed and brought an astronomy based book to read with her.

"Thory, I'm so glad to have you as my husband." Twilight said hugging her husband's right hoof.

"And I'm so glad to have you as my wife." Thorax said nuzzling her forehead.

Twilight then pulled her head away from his hoof and planted a kiss on Thorax's lips, and he kissed back. The couple were so exhilarated for their child to come out. And thanks to the lessons that their friends had given them earlier, they were okay.
