Come Back To Me

Chris sat against a tree with Celestia and Luna, the three decided to spend some time together.

"Chris? A few hundred years after you left us, I did something very bad." Luna admitted, lowering her head in shame.

Chris raised a brow in confusion at that stament.

"I became a being known as Nightmare Moon, something that desired to cover the world in everlasting darkness. You see, I was jealous of how much our little ponies enjoyed the day and I felt that nopony liked the night. I became very jealous and soon transformed into Nightmare Moon. I tried to overthrow Celestia, and she had to use the elements of harmony on me and she banished me to the moon for one thousand years."

Chris's eyes widened in shock and horror. How could little Lulu fall to such darkness? The mare he deemed his little sister-in-law had become something so dark and he hadn't been there to help her.

"I recently returned from my exile, but everypony feared me and I feel they still do. The only ones who seemed to accept me were Celestia, Twilight and her friends, Cadence and now you." Luna whispered, sniffling as tears flowed down her cheeks.

Celestia nuzzled Luna comfortingly as Chris ran a hand through her man, easing her worries as she sobbed into his chest.

"I-I'm sorry Chris, I didn't want to be a monster. I felt lonely and unwanted. I felt my nights weren't appreciated and loved enough." Luna wailed, hiding in Chris's chest.

"Shh, It's alright, Luna. I forgive you. I know you must have been feeling so lonely. Perhaps us three should talk to Twilight and her friends and get them to make your nights loved and more appreciated by everypony. You were forgiven and this is your second chance. In the words of my idol, "Every sentient being possesses the capacity for change." Chris smiled at Luna as he kissed her forehead, earning a giggle from the smaller mare.

"There's our little Lulu." Celestia cooed teasingly, causing Luna to blush in embarrasment.

"Thank you, Chris, for believing in me and for always being there for me. You've been like a big brother to me depsite being the lover and soon-to-be husband of my sister." Luna teased the both of them, grinning like a school filly.

Chris pulled Celestia and Luna into a hug as they nestled against him, sighing contently as they closed their eyes and nuzzled him.

"I've missed having moments like this with you both, with my family." Chris murmured, running his hands through Celestia and Luna's manes.

"So have we, my love. So have we." Celestia cooed, kissing Chris's neck softly.

Luna giggled and kissed Chris's cheek affectionately as she hugged her future brother-in-law.

Celestia felt that Chris had the right to know about his daughter, Sunset Shimmer.

Sunset was a unique mare. She had her mother's magic strength, her father's eyes, her father's physical strength and the intelligence from the both of them. A few thousand years after Luna's banishment and Chris's death, Celestia had begged to the stars and to Faust to have a child of her own. One that was her own biological child yet also Chris's.

Celestia had never told Sunset about her father. She wanted to wait until the right time to tell her. Celestia had planned to tell Sunset once Chris had returned so that Sunset could meet her dad.

"Celestia, are you alright?" Chris asked concernedly. Something seemed off about Celestia.

Celestia sighed and took a deep breath, preparing herself for the explanation.

"Chris, a few hundred years after Luna's banishment and your death, I begged to mother and father, Luna's stars, even Faust, to give me a child of my own. Eventually, my begging was heard and one day I quickly gained the symptoms of pregnancy and realized my request had been answered. After six months I gave birth to a healthy little filly with an amber coat and red and yellow mane. She was born when it was sunset, and so I named her after it. She has your eyes and she had your rebellious nature." Celestia explained, noticing the shocked and slack-jawed look of her beloved.

"So where is she? And I'm a dad? Why did you want a child knowing you were a princess anc immortal? You'll outlive her as would I." Chris asked confused and shocked.

"Sunset is an alicorn, like myself and Luna. I merely temporarily removed her wings as I didn't want the press to find out. I wanted a foal of my own so that I could have one that looked like you, one that I could raise and tell your story to. I wanted it to also be a way to carry your legacy. As to where she is...We had an argument...She ran away and through a mirror that sent her to an alternate dimension. Twilight has been through the mirror to the same world." Celestia explained, hopefully her little sun would come back, so she could apologize to Sunset and restore their relationship. Not only to apologize but to let Sunset meet her father and spend time with the both of them.

"What was the argument about?" Chris asked, worried for Celestia and also now Sunset. He was a dad? He had a child? A filly nonetheless?

"She wanted to become an alicorn so badly, to be like me and Cadance. All my little filly wanted was to be like me, for me to be proud of her and love her. I thought she knew I loved her and that she was my precious little filly. The argument got heated and she ran into a spare room that housed the mirror and went through it. I haven't seen her since. I'm a terrible mother." Celestia answered, lowering her head in shame.

"No, you're not a bad mother. From what you've told me you've only wanted what is best for Sunset and what you believe is in her best interests. The only thing you should have done was tell her that she is an alicorn and that you love her. How about we ask Twilight to find a way to contact her and get her to come home. What do you think?" Chris suggested, smiling at Celestia as she smiled widely, kissing him happily.

"You're right, I'll get Twilight to contact Sunset through the journals that both of them possess. I can't wait for our little filly to come home. You're going to be a great dad to Sunset."

Celestia summoned some parchment and a quill. She began writing and informed Twilight of what needed to happen.

"I feel a tad nervous, Tia. I've never been a dad and I don't know how to be one." Chris asked Celestia, his hands shaking anxiously as Celestia only smiled at him lovingly.

"It'll come to you naturally, don't worry. You're going to be a great dad and I just know Sunset is going to love having you around. After all, you're her dad and she's always asked me where her dad was. I always told her you were just missing. But she's going to get the full explanation from the both of us. She deserves that much." Celestia replied, leaning into her beloved.

Chris couldn't wait to meet Sunset, he had a daughter. He hoped she'd accept him as her dad. Chris couldn't help but smile at the idea of meeting her.

The two lovers and Luna walked back to the castle, preparing for the reunion of mother and daughter.
