Author's Note

The song is one of my favorites. It's from one of the best TV shows. SuPerNatural(SPN for short.)

Here's the link.

Imagine the song in Nicole Oliver's singing voice.

A Daughter's Return.

Sunset placed a hand inside the statue portal as she tripped through it, entering her former home of Equestria. She didn't have many good memories aside from a few of her mother Celestia and herself.

Ever since the Fall Formal, she felt guilty about what happened between the both of them. She wanted to find and reconcile with her mother.

She remembered the times where her mom would read books with her, play with her, sing to her and so many more memories alike. Just remembering them brought tears to the bacon-maned unicorn's eyes.

Sunset was pushed through the end of the portal as she ended up inside of Twilight's castle. Twilight had been her pen-pal whom she would write to daily in her journal which she'd brought with her.

The two exchanged pleasantries as the purple alicorn teleported them to Canterlot Castle.

Chris and Celestia spent time talking with the elder alicorns. They were all family and had decided to plan a wedding for Chris and Celestia. The royal couple eagerly denied the elder alicorns. Celestia didn't want her parents to do everything when it was up to both Chris and herself to plan it.

Suddenly, the guards opened the doors to the Throne Room as Sunset and Twilight walked through.

"Princess Celestia! It's good to see you again! Anyway, guess who it is!" Twilight said, excitement written all over her as she smiled widely.

"Hey, Princess Celestia! Long time no see! I came to apologize for what I did." Sunset began, nervously smiling at her former mentor and mother.

"Sunset Shimmer..." Celestia's eyes narrowed, getting up off her throne as she walked down towards the unicorn.

It started to worry Chris at what his beloved would do to their little filly.

"But if you want I can just go!" Sunset whimpered fearfully, looking away from her mother. What the unicorn didn't expect to happen was for her mother to embrace her in a hug.

Sunset was slack-jawed at what had just transpired. She thought she'd be banished for what she did. She thought her mom hated her.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Sunset wailed, sobbing into her mother's chest. Celestia gently ran a hoof through her little filly's mane in comfort.

"There, there, Sunset. I forgave you a long time ago. I have missed you so much." Celestia tearfully admitted, sobbing along with her daughter as the two cried together.

"I'm so sorry, mom! I took your sunshine away!" Sunset wailed, her pain and regret bubbling to the surface as everything that was pent up released and vanished.

"But now my sunshine is back where she belongs, in her mom's hooves." Celestia cooed softly, shushing her distressed child.

Chris looked over at Celestia who nodded to him that it was safe to come down and meet his daughter. Nervousness swelled in his being as he walked down as he met his daughter for the very first time.

"A parent's love is whole no matter how many times divided." Chris said, running a hand through his daughter's mane.

Sunset looked up at the human next to her mother, raising a confused eyebrow at her mother who merely smiled.

"My little sun, this is your dad, Crystal Justice." Celestia whispered softly, watching her daughter's emotion switch from sadness, to shock and to tearful joy.

"DAD!" Sunset wailed, sobbing into her father's chest who merely comforted her. He couldn't help but feel the love for his daughter swelling in his chest. Despite only knowing her for a few minutes, he immediately loved her.

"I swear to you here and now, I will never leave you or your mother. I promise." Chris said, pulling his beloved next to him as the both of them embraced their daughter.

Twilight had helped to inform them on what Sunset had done during the Battle Of The Bands and the Friendship Games. Both royals smiled proudly at their daughter. Adoration within their eyes.

Chris watched as Sunset nuzzled his chest happily before she fell asleep from exhaustion.

Gently, he picked up his little filly and carried her to her old bedroom which looked to be in pristine condition. Celestia followed him to the room, wanting to help put their daughter to bed.

Celestia used her magic to pull the covers back as Chris placed Sunset within the bed, pulling the covers over her body. Both parents smiled at their sleeping daughter.

Chris knew an earth tune that would help her sleep. He'd quickly whispered the idea to Celestia who nodded excitedly.

Chris bent down on a knee and pressed a kiss to Sunset's temple. The bacon-haired unicorn smiled in her sleep. He left the room to let Celestia have some bonding time with their child.

Once he had left the room, Celestia cleared her throat as she prepared to sing to Sunset.

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

With part of the song done, Celestia decided to fully sing it when she'd have the chance to sing Sunset to sleep.

"Sleep tight, my little sun." Celestia cooed, leaving the room to let Sunset sleep.
