The New Heirs to The Throne

Five years later...

Diamond has just started school and I decide that she should have a sibling to spend time with. While she is at school, Zephyr and I go to our room and get up close again. Later on, we discover that I am pregnant again, but this time with a colt. We tell Diamond that she will have a baby brother, and she gets excited. We bring out the supplies from when I was pregnant with her and begin setting up a nursery for our son.

Nine months later, the time has come. Zephyr takes me to the hospital after my water breaks and we are able to fill out the paperwork this time. Once I am comfortable, the doctor takes an ultrasound and says I do not need surgery this time. Once the doctor is ready, I begin to push. The pain is agonizing and I feel my son slipping out. Once he is out, Zephyr cuts the cord and the nurse takes our son to be evaluated. Prior to coming, we had seen several shooting stars flash across the sky. So we name our son Flash Starstruck when the nurse brings him back to us. Zephyr brings Diamond in to see her brother and she gushes with joy when she sees how cute he is.

Seven years later, Zephyr and I tell our kids that they will be next to inherit the throne when we retire or die. They seem startled in the beginning, but they slowly come to accept what their duty will eventually become as time goes on.
