Royal Romance

Nurse Redheart came out of the room and had a grave look on her face. Cadence stood up.

“Will he be alright?” she questioned. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, yet there was still hope in them and a little sparkle. Redheart gave a small barely visible smile.

“Why not go in for yourself?” she suggested. Cadence gulped and nodded. She went to the door and turned the doorknob and entered. The room was rather spacious. In the middle of the room was the bed where Flash was laying. All sorts of tubes and wires were on him, connected to the many machines that were next to him. At one side was a small table with a lone vase with no flowers in it. The walls were white and on the other side was a small room in which was a small bathroom, but large enough for at least 10 ponies to fit in, with some space left. Cadence turned to Flash and pulled a chair next to his bed. Flash’s eyes were closed and his upper chest was wrapped around in a bandage. His breathing was steady and on the beat. He seemed to be doing fine. Cadence grabbed one of his hoofs and held it tight to her. She kissed it and started crying a little.

“Hey, princess. Why are you crying?” a small voice called. Cadence looked up and noticed that Flash was awake. She gasped in joy. Flash placed his hoof against Cadence’s face and brushed her hair, pushing it behind her ear.

“I love you,” he whispered. Cadence smiled.

“I love you too,” she whispered back. Flash tried to sit up but Cadence stopped him.

“No. Lie down. It will be better.” Cadence said. Flash tried to say something but Cadence stopped him. After 5 minutes of a small argument, Flash reluctantly gave into Cadence’s demand and rested his head against the pillow, laying down looking at his beloved wife.

Nurse Redheart entered the room to find Cadence sleeping in the chair next to Flash. She couldn't help but smile. They we're so meant for each other. Thank Celestia that they made it here in time, otherwise Flash wouldn't have made it. Redheart thought back to her own love life before becoming a nurse. He still hurt her when he left.

"Why do you have to go?" she had argued with him. He had turned to face her sadly yet stern.

"Sweetheart, I have to go if I want to work at the castle," he has responded. His eyes were sad, brimming up with tears. But now he's gone and she hasn't spoken to him ever since. She sighed before retreating from the room leaving the two lovebirds be. As she left the room, she bumped into some pony. He was a guard from the castle. She looked down and bowed hoping to not get in trouble for her actions. The stallion nodded before entering the room.

Shining looked around and noticed Cadence sleeping in the chair and Flash stroking her hair. He must have just woken up. Flash looked up and looked at Shining, his face bruised and his chest bandaged. Shining took of his helmet and bowed his head down.

"I'm sorry, Flash. I could have killed you," he stated. Flash looked at Shining with big eyes before nodding his head slowly.

"I appreciate your apology. Let's just not get to violent with each other." Shining nodded before leaving the room, a huge smirk on his face. Surely the medication must be messing up with Flash's head. As if he would apologize to Flash, especially since he took Cadence away from him. He put his helmet back on and left the hospital. He had some things to attend too.

Cadence woke up and saw that Flash was awake.

"Good morning, princess," Flash said, brushing her hair from her face. Cadence smiled.

"How do you feel?" she asked Flash. He pushed himself up to look down at Cadence's smiling face. Honestly, pregnancy seemed to make Cadence glow even more.

"I'm doing fine. Much better than last night. Especially that I have you with me," he responded, touching the tip of her nose. Cadence scrunched up her nose and giggled. Flash looked into Cadence's eyes and smiled. Cadence blushed and smiled back. They leaned forward and just then the door flew open. They immediately retreated from each other in haste. Nurse Redheart entered the room excited.

"I have good news for you both," she started. Flash and Cadence looked at each other with big eyes full of excitement and listened intently to what Nurse Redheart had to say.
