It's been six months since Cadance and Shining were married "happily ever after" in the royal wedding of the century, but there's an issue, or rather they have failed to produce one.

With court appointed fertility experts circling like buzzards and all of Equestria seemingly intent on following the young couple's love-life and speculating on why they aren't popping out foals to cement a Northern Line of Succession, the couple take some quality time out to rekindle their relationship.

With encouragement from her Aunt Luna, Cadance bares her soul to Shining, re-examining some past traumas, and sharing an intimate part of herself which she'd intended on keeping locked up forever.
