Your mother, the Princess of Friendship

Twilight woke, sitting up and stretching her cramped wings. The sleeping pony beside her stirred before awakening as well. “Don’t you think you should sleep a little more, you were very restless last night," Solar yawned.

“Good morning to you too love,” Twilight replied snarkily.

The larger stallion laughed as he rolled his eyes,also stretching out his wings. “I think Celestia and Luna are awake, would you like to get some breakfast?”

"Like you don't know, breakfast comes before anything else in the morning,” she said as she hopped out of bed.

Her husband followed suit as the couple made their way to the large dining room. They opened the doors to find Princess Celestia and Luna sitting, having just begun their own breakfast. “Good Morning you two, did you rest well,” Luna greeted.

“Not really, but this one was restless,” she said, looking down at her enlarged stomach.

The couple sat opposite each other at the table, Twilight beside Celestia and Solar beside Luna.

Celestia spoke while eating her fruit. “Have you thought about any names for the little foal yet?”

Twilight looked up from her toast. “I have a few ideas in mind but I don’t think I’ve thought of the perf-“ Twilight immediately stopped talking, a feeling of liquid gushing from her onto the cushion underneath her. Luna noticed the smaller alicorn turn pale.

“Are you alright Twilight?” she asked concerned.

Twilight looked up. “I, umm think my water just broke.”

Everypony's eyes widened. Solar was the first to speak. “I’ll go get the doctor immediately, Luna and Celestia could you please take Twilight to our room?”

Twilight stood up, “I’m sure I can walk myse- AHHH!” She bent down in pain. “Nevermind, some magic would really help right now.”

Celestia and Luna"s magic engulfed Twilight as they quickly, but carefully, moved her to her bed. Twilight squealed in agony making Luna and Celestia both feel useless. “You're going to be okay, Twilight,” Luna said reassuringly .

“OKAY? OKAY! HAVE YOU EVER FELT YOUR INSIDES BEING TORN APART?” Twilight wailed.

“Oh no, the royal Canterlot voice,” Luna thought while giggling.

A few minutes passed and Solar came back with a doctor. “How is she?”

“SOLAR IM ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, WHAT IN CELESTIA DO YOU THINK?” She shouted in the royal Canterlot voice that she had learned from her ex-mentor.

The doctor approached the bed. “Now, Your Highness I know this may sound harsh but I need you to stay calm, I’ve done this for years.

Twilight calmed herself as tears formed in her eyes. She felt a hoof on her right shoulder and she looked to see her former mentor beside her. “Do not worry Twilight, we will all be here for you the whole time,” she said in a more motherly tone rather than as an equal with Twilight.

An hour passed of Solar, Luna, and Celestia telling Twilight to keep pushing and comforting her, as well Twilight almost breaking their hooves.

“Come on,” the trio said in unison.

“Arrggg,” Twilight almost screamed but she stopped as she heard a loud, high pitched cry. The foal had the same orange yellow hair as her father but it had a dark magenta streak and she had alabaster fur.

“Congratulations Your Highness, it’s a filly.” Everypony looked at the foal shocked, the small sleeping foal was in fact an alicorn like her mother. the odd thing was that she was the second foal in history to ever be born one, the first being her cousin Flurry Heart.

Twilight sat up from her bed“Can I hold her?” she asked weakly, she clearly tired from childbirth.

“Of course you can,” the doctor replied. He lifted the filly up from the cot and handed it over to the weak princess. The small filly opened it's eyes to reveal bright magenta eyes and smiled.

Solar looked over at his wife and newborn he was at peace, he was finally a father. He looked closer and a surprised look overtook his smile. “Twi, have you noticed she's an alicorn?”

Twilight rolled her eyes. “Do you think I couldn't feel it?” Twilight said, laughing. “I've chosen to call her Dawn Sparkle,” she declared.

The filly smiled.

“I think she likes that name,” Solar laughed.

Celestia and Luna were talking in the corner. “That's the second royal filly to be born an alicorn, I still don't understand how it happened with Flurry Heart, but there must be a connection,” Celestia whispered to her sister. Luna only nodded in response, as she was just as shocked. Even alicorns as old as he sister and herself had never heard of a foal being born an alicorn apart from Flurry and Dawn.
