Blast From The Past

It was a cold, rainy day in a country not too far from Equestria. However, that wasn’t enough to spoil anything as Sideria laid comfortably on her large, white hospital bed, cradling her small nymph/butterfly baby.

“Here he is, Cesar. Our little angel,” She said, smiling.

“Well, sweetie. It looks like we’re a family now,” Cesar carefully hugged his wife, trying to not squish the baby.

“Ahem…”

That’s when the doctor and his nurse entered the room. He looked like he had some bad news as his arms were very stiff and the nurse holding the clipboard tightly in her arms, both with a deep frown on their faces.

“Uh… Is something wrong, doctor?”

“Actually, yes. While I’d hate to ruin this beautiful miracle, I’m afraid to say that your wife… has contracted a very fatal illness during the birthing process.” He explained.

“What?!” Both of them shouted.

“We don’t know what it is or how it came to be, but what we do know is that it’s slowly eating away at your nervous system. Meaning that once it’s done… Well, let’s just say that it won’t be very good for your body in general.” The nurse added.

“H-how much time does she have?!”

“Well, according to these notes, the nervous system will be completely gone in about… 5 years. We’re very sorry.”

And so, after that terrifying explanation, both the doctor and the nurse strolled out of the room. Things looked bleak, but Sideria still let out a warm smile while glancing at the infant.

“Don’t worry. We’re going to make every moment we’re going to have as a family count. Right, Cesar?”

Cesar gave a long glare at the baby as it giggled and laughed.

“Cesar!”

“Huh?! Oh, sorry. You’re right, Sideria. There’s still hope in making this family happen.”

“Good. Now what should we name our little bundle of joy?” She said, tickling the little newborn.
