"Now she has to bend down to kiss me..."

Dear diary,

It's been a strange fifteen years.

First, my best friend got married to me. I was married to one of the princesses of Equestria. Even stranger - I got married to the one who ruled it. Then, she became pregnant. I was so happy to learn I was now a dad!

Sadly, I was drafted into a war that suddenly ignited between the Windigos and the royal family. I will relay the details at a later date, but it included Princess Flurry Heart and the Cake Twins blasting the creatures back with their friendship, and it even caused Flurry to be able to wield the Crystal Heart anytime there was danger, at will. After half a year, I was finally ready to leave the Empire and visit my new wife. She would have come too, but Twilight had to stay and rule Equestria, like Celestia before her had had to in certain crises, like when Discord had attacked years ago.

I jumped off the train to Ponyville and tipped the driver for his service. At the station, a few guards escorted me towards the castle that I know my lovely wife is in. (I need protection as I am going to be crowned Prince soon.) Twilight has been ruling in both Canterlot and Ponyville and acts as a mediator between the two towns. She prefers her own castle anyway, and I know Starlight and Sunburst have kept an eye on it for her, and Twilight should be there on maternity leave. Unlike when the Royal sisters ruled Equestria, Princess Twilight has ponies co-rule under her supervision, so she can still rendezvous with her Council of Friendship members, aka, her friends, their husbands, and her personal guard (me.)

As I get close to the beautiful crystalline palace (that reminds me suspiciously of the Crystal Empire - Chest of Harmony, Insee what you did, there;) I start to reminisce about my life and realize how amazing it has been.

...

In the past twenty years, I went from a young and sprightly cadet that felt left out because I wasn't a crystal pony, to a revered and respected guardmate. A loyal friend to the end. A pony Equestria could be proud of, and I was proud to serve its re-aquired empire. I had even improved my rank enough to protect Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor. My hard work landed me a job in the high life, rather than just being in the royal guard in general. And it all improved when a certain purple blue bumped into me by pure accident.

She became my best friend and trusted confidant. I went from a humble guard to a prince who ended up saving the same Empire I was assigned to protect, long before I was even crowned.

A new sentry to a prince sentry. Not bad, huh? Banana is certainly proud of me. He was my best pet at my wedding, you know. Well, along with Owlowiscious for Twilight. Spike's Phoenix Pee-Wee was the ring bearer. Of course Cadance squeed and Prince Armour cried-had liquid pride.

Anyway, excluding my adoptive little brother Pop Fly, he was my only family before I started bumping into my now wife.

...

Around the time of the second Windigo War, aka six months ago, I learned that Sunset Shimmer has a new fiance that is a Wonderbolt - Fire Streak.

I also found out that Human Sunset Shimmer showed up after Pony Sunset left and she has married my Human counterpart, so he won't be alone forever either.

The humans visit often, and there has not been any cataclysmic event or apocalypse occurring from the fact that a few times a year, there is almost two of everyone, like they were all duplicated Pinkie Pie's mirror pool. Except, you know, with nicer creatures, and a less creepy result of a gang of clones that only care about themselves.

Sunset had a lot of explaining to do, concerning the magic she and other powerful Equestrians had brought into the human world.

Now there were isolated events of magical happenings in the Canterlot High world, and some people that were not Twilight's human friends had become bonded to their personal magic like it was a part of them.

For example, the human version of Derpy Hooves can deliver mail using indestructible magical bubbles that floated to everyone's doorsteps. The could not be tampered with outside of the people that lived at their specific houses.

Doctor Whooves has created a time machine, though it can only go backwards in time and space for five seconds.

Human Trixie can levitate things and use pony magic to make her magic shows more spectacular. Her tickets usually sell out two days before the scheduled show date.

The human Sparkle Family (Twilight, her niece, parents, siblings, siblings in law, and Spike the Dog,) can now levitate books and write amazing novels and are all great at astronomy and helping others through unpleasant feelings.

The Cake Family always makes the best cakes, and anyone with magic powers who eats their food get their powers boosted for a week. I don't know how they handle sugar-rushed Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich.

Also, before Equestrian magic was even discovered, their babies were apparently born with the ability to make wedding cakes when they were a only a few months old. Wow, master baker's before their first birthdays. Oh, and Pound and Pumpkin are as strong as Applejack and as smart as both Twilights, respectively. They are amazing for their young ages as well, and though they are fifteen now, they show no signs of stopping.

Those are only a few of the things our human counterparts can do now in their Not-Equestria.

...

Sunset is also living in both worlds and acts as a mediator between the occasional pony and human delegations, just like the Young Six do with other species and the Cutie Mark Crusaders do with getting creatures to appreciate their talents, as well as their cutie marks if they are ponies.
Finally, the "Mane Six", along with Sunset, Starlight and their fiance's were teaching others about friendship, as well as making sure the young and old appreciate each other, especially since the school is for all ages, unlike most schools that only include a few grades.

As I said before, I am about to be Prince of Equestria, as well as Captain of the Crystal royal guard, which is exciting and scary. I hope I can make Equestria and the human world proud. (Gallus of the Young Six works as the Canterlot Captain now, after inheriting it from Flash Magnus, my ancestor and one of the Pillars of Equestria.

A lot had happened in this short, or rather semi-long span of time!

...

Flash!

"HELLLLLLO New Prince!"

Lord Discord popped in front of me (like he likes to do) and made confetti rain from the sky. He congratulated me, saying that my wife was in labor and that the baby was going to be a unicorn colt with Pegasus attributes like flight without wings. Gee, thanks for the spoiler warning.

He also said that Twilight had just gone through a growth spurt and that she was still a little insecure about not being able to fit in a lot of seats she used to sit in, and she was glad she lived in two castles. He also said that she was "of age" in Alicorn years and that he was upset that Twilight was now Celestia's height and that he could not tease her for being a short Alicorn anymore. I mean, she had been steadily growing taller, but I thought she would reach that height in a literal thousand years. First, she was shorter than ne, now she was going to be twice as tall as me!

"What? How? Magic?"

Fwwwoooosh!

In a blinding flash, the Lord of Chaos whisked me up to Twilight's room, leaving now more room for questions.

"Ouch!"

I bumped into a unicorn with a massively long horn. The headbutt was hard, as Discord had teleported me right into someone in his haste for getting me to see my baby born. Wait...my baby!

"I'm sorry-"

"Me too-FLASH?!"

"Twilight, is that...YOU?!"

My mouth was agape at the sight of a giant Alicorn Princess in the mane and coat colors of MY Twilight was sprawled out on her bed, her friends and family members all around her. There was a magical screen in the corner, capturing the moment the birth, broadcasting it for the huge crowd that had gathered around the castle. I had missed it due to my reminiscing and Discord's actually wonderful intervention.

POP!

Twilight had given birth in an instant, and the most beautiful baby boy who had my coat and mane colors had been born.

The easy and effortless pregnancy had gone smoothly without a hitch, despite the larger body. Actually, it had made the birth easier, and Twilight did not have to even hold my hoof or scream in pain or feel much pain at that moment.

The doctor hoofed me my cleaned, crying unicorn baby and me and my wife kissed.

Everyone around us was crying and cheering. The censored to outsiders birth had been shown for basically the world outside the castle to see.

"Awwww!" I cooed, cuddling my child close. "Let's name him Flashlight," I joked.

The baby giggled.

"We are not calling him that."

"Flashlight." I said, to test something.

The baby giggled.

"Sounds like it's two-to-one."

"Ugh...fine, "Flashlight." The line of "Flash"es continues."

Surrounded by ponies I loved, I asked the hard question.

"So, how did this happen? A magical surge?"

My wife leaned down, gave me a coy smile that could rival Celestia's, and stuck out her tongue.

"Wouldn't you like to know?"

...

I found out that the answer would be "yes" to my magical surge idea, and I was quite intimidated by her new size.

Mane, Twilight, you got big...

With a smirking wife taunting me (with Unicorn, Pegasus and Earth pony magic heightened,) a baby in my hooves, and an adventure to relay on her later on, I just sighed and lived in the moment, though one though was on my mind:

"When your wife could snap you like a twig."

Hope you enjoyed! There is going to be more stories on this subject, especially with Twilight's tall transformation, don't worry!
