Hatching in Equestria as a Silver Dragon

25 of August of 981

The day the three of us were waiting for arrived, and we all were in Canterlot's hospital now, this was actually the city's hospital and not the one in the castle.

Dad was there with her, and I was waiting outside in the lobby, I didn't want to get in their way, the room was crowded enough as it was with the doctor, dad and a nurse at the same time.

I wonder what they would look like, I was excited and also very happy too, from what we could tell before, there were two of them, mom decided to be surprised and didn't want to get any scans done, but 2 to 4 was around the common number of pups that Sylf's species would give birth to, and she has experience looking after them since that was her role in her pack.

She was already very experienced looking after them.

About an hour later, a nurse came looking for me and told me to follow her, that my mom had called for me, I nodded to her with a smile and followed her into the room.

I entered slowly, reluctant and slightly nervous, I had never really been in this situation, it was new to me.

But my excitement to see my little siblings won over and I approached mom who was laying in the hospital bed on her side, the puppies were both close to her, laying near her nipples where they clearly were looking for them to drink, it was the most adorable event I've witnessed in my life.

The puppies were not like regular puppies however, I could tell they weren't fully wolf or pony, it was pretty obvious,one had wings and was a colt and the other had a tiny horn poking out from its forehead, she was a filly, or... Well male and female, I wasn't sure if they were considered ponies or wolves.

They had paws like mom, with little pink little toe beans that were super adorable, they also were born with their eyes open and somewhat more developed than normal puppies, it made sense considering how long their gestation was.

The two looked exactly like a mixture between a pony and a wolf, tho I suppose that is to be expected considering who their parents are, the colors were also interesting, the female wolf is white with the area around her paws and her head being darker, and the male wolf has black fur all over his body except on the underside, his belly and chest fluff is white as snow.

"Mom! Dad! Congratulations! They're sooo adorable... And they're a filly and a colt, they look really healthy too, have you two thought about any names?" I was curious about this, I hadn't given that much thought, but it wasn't my place to name them.

"Oh, we are still thinking about it, and debating together, I have a few ideas and your father has some ideas too, what do you think Onyx? Should we each name one?" I liked that last idea, one parent choosing the name of one of their child, there were two after all.

"I think you should choose a name for one, and dad should choose the other name, it would be fair, I think." They both looked at each other and nodded.

"I'll pick the filly's name and you pick the colt, do you agree my sweetheart?" Mom agreed, then they began to think, looking at the little pegawolf and uniwolf, were this the right words? I could just call them by name in the future once it was decided.

By now the two little ones were happily having their first meal for the first time from mom, drinking her milk. I had never seen her so happy like she was now, we both looked at them have their fill.

"So, how does it feel, being a mother?" I asked her, wondering what she was thinking.

"It's... Honestly a dream come true, I felt absolutely no pain, no complications during the birth, they both came out healthy and... I'm blessed to have them, It's just like I remember, look you two, they are full now." She pointed at the little ones.

They moved away from her nipples and started looking around, they looked at dad and me, getting closer to us as we stood right near them, lowering our heads so they could reach, the uniwolf looked at me and got close, then tried to climb on my head, but she couldn't at this angle, instead she hugged my snout and held it adorably for a few seconds then seemed to give up on that and turned around and went to lay down by mom's side.

Meanwhile dad had his face near the pegawolf, who looked confused to see him and started slapping his nose with his little paws, as if he was trying to fight away a monster, when his 'attacks' proved ineffective he turned around and went to lay down with his sister near mom's chest.

Gosh they are adorable! I felt really happy, I also felt really protective over them.

"I think this little lady here has definitively the adventurer's spirit, she tried to climb on Onyx's head like he was some mountain, so what about Wander Glow?" Hmm not bad dad, i feel it fits her.

"I agree hun, her name is Wander Glow, now for this little one here... He seems like quite the fighter, he also will be able to fly and control clouds, that's what I feel, he will be named Lightning Strike!" Mom said cheerfully, and I saw something special in that moment, the two twins glowed in different colors, Wander had a gold glow around her, and Lightning had a blue light around him, it was magical, but neither of us were scared, we knew in our hearts that the glow was a good thing.

I theorized what it could mean, many possibilities swirled in my head, but the main theory was that by naming them, mom and dad donated a large amount of magic to them, this usually didn't cause any issues but maybe it had something to do with the fact that they were hybrids so it could use up more energy, or that they would be much stronger than average, but this were just wild theories based on my knowledge I had.

What I was sure of, was that names were powerful, and naming someone for the first time, it gave them power, Sylf has given her power to her offspring and so has Coconut, in fact he was looking a bit wobbly.

I caught him before he could fall down and get hurt. He wasn't as strong as mom, so his energy was probably sapped a lot more, but I felt his vital signs and he was okay, just sleeping.

"W-what happened to him?" Sylf asked worriedly, looking at her stallion, to dad.

"He has had too much excitement for a single day, let's just leave it at that, don't worry tho he is just asleep.
Just relax mom, trust me." She nodded and smiled warmly at me, in silent thanks for helping him out.

I was holding the larger stallion across my back, his body basically covering me completely except for the tip of my snout.

I bet it looks kinda comical from someone else's perspective, but for me it's just difficult to see, and his hooves are all dragging on the floor, as he is bigger than me and taller.

"I'ma go leave him at the waiting area mom, you're okay with being alone for a bit?"

"Sure, just make sure he is comfortable, I also felt my energy draining a lot after that glow, he must be much more drained... Well he just needs to sleep it off."

After that we left dad to sleep for a while while I stayed with mom, she was checked by doctors and the paperwork for the twins was filled, the names and date of birth, etc.

They checked up on the newborns and found them to be healthy, the tests were non invasive as neither mom nor I would permit invasive tests, magic exists for a reason and it could be used to scan the body without needing any other tests, most of the time.

In another hour we were cleared to go home, mom carried dad on her back and I carried the two twins, by walking on two legs, it was not as natural but it wasn't difficult either, the twinks were wrapped in blankets, made into sort of burritos with their legs folded and only their head poking out, they looked at me with curiosity and wide eyes, I made sure they didn't get direct sunlight on their face, I knew they were too young to be out in the direct sun.

Walking at a sedate pace I showed them around the city, at least the road we would be taking, they saw mom and made happy noises, they clearly wanted to be with her again.

Soon, we just needed to get home first, just a few minutes! I wasn't about to teleport us with the little ones here, I didn't want to risk making them sick and nauseous just for convenience.

"How are the twins Onyx?"

"Oh they're fine mom, they just want to be with you badly, maybe they're hungry again or just want you, but they're not crying yet or anything so they probably aren't in any sort of distress just yet, I recommend once we get home you put the unicorn to bed and you give more attention to your pups."

"We're here!"

After that she opened the door and we headed straight for the bedroom, she left dad in my room and we went to her room with the babies, once I placed them next to mom and freed them from their burrito like wrapping, they started to crawl towards Sylf, making baby noises, and then started to climb on her body, until eventually they relaxed and went to sleep.

Maybe we need to get cribs for them, mom says that her species have cubs who just sleep with their caretaker or parents, but if this pups were half ponies and ponies were safer in cribs, then it was a good idea.

I decided to let them bond in peace, I have school and i already missed too many classes, I couldn't keep missing or my score would take a bit.

"Have fun ma! I'm going to school now, I'm sure you'll have fun looking after them, but I think you should think about getting cradles for each, I'm not sure but they are at least 50% pony, and ponies sleep in cradles, just try them and see if they are comfortable."

"Hm, well you and Coco have raised the same concern so I think I'll have to try, good luck at school son! Make sure you don't forget your school supplies."

I saluted to her, which made her roll her eyes and laugh, and then I leave and go get ready.

2 hours later UCE school

School was not above propaganda it seems, teaching us how to address royalty, how to bow properly and how to be good little ponies, I had to suppress a groan every time we had to 'practice'.

Sometimes I really wish this ponies didn't have such a high and mighty view of their ruler, it made me feel like I was back in the medieval times, I suppose that is cool and all, but I still felt it was too much.

I had to shut up and not think too much about it, not question this, sure I have gotten on her non hateful side, but we weren't friends or anything, she has just tolerating me, barely.

I sighed, hopefully me saving Luna from the Nightmare would, in the future, endear her more towards me, I wasn't sure yet if she had done anything towards improving her relationship with other nations like she agreed to, I never talked to her, but I hope that the fact there is more trade now from other nations at the market, means she has opened more slots for foreign nations that she didn't allowed before.

The bell finally rung, we all formed into a line and walked outside to the playground.

I yawned and stretched once I was outside, finally free from boring etiquette class, the disadvantage of fancy schools was that they taught us all of this along with the normal curriculum.

Ruby Ray and Summer Sprout were the first ones to come close to me, I waved at them and called them over, a wide smile on my face.

"Heyy you two beautiful ponies! How have you been? I have important news to share with all of our friends, let's gather together, shall we?"

"Hey Onyx! Thank you, you're a very pretty dragon yourself" Ruby said and pulled me into a hug, nuzzling me on the neck on the left.

"Good to see you Onyx! Your eyes have a glow to them that I know means you are really excited about something, can't wait to know what's got you in such a good mood!" Sprout joined in the hug from the other side.

"Oh you two will love the news, let's go see the others and tell them!" I give them both a gentle squeeze and caress them on their backs.

Then we move away and they follow me to the others who already have met outside and are talking among themselves, Shining and Cadence as always hanging out together, they have gotten very close ever since I invited them to practice together their magic.

"Hey everypony, friends, I have something exciting to tell you!" Everyone stopped their conversation and turned to look at me with curiosity, my smile was clear so they knew it was good news.

"I am a big brother now! I'm a big brother and my siblings are super adorable hybrid half pony and half wolf, and... Well that's everything, I'm just super happy, and excited to have little siblings! Next time there is a sleepover I can show them to you, if they are comfortable with that, and if mom lets us, well... That's everything I wanted to say, sorry for interrupting your conversations, you can go back to them."

Then they asked me questions, many of the foals were very curious about my siblings, specially Cadence who had also questioning me about everything that happened at mom and dad's wedding the very next day, she somehow knew... Well obviously she had seen the fireworks, duh.

And I had told her what happened and why we chose to celebrate it there, and why no one outside the family was invited, we just wanted something quick, cheap and easy to organize.

Now she was asking me all about the twins, I gladly told her everything, their colors, their names and how mom and dad came up with them, and I explained what their personalities were like, one was a filly, adventurous and had a glowy white fur with black near the head and paws, and the other was a colt, with black fur, playful and brave demeanor and had a white belly and chest fluff.

She was fascinated when I said one of them had wings and the other had a horn, saying she wanted to see them really badly and even would love to foalsit them in the future when she was ready.

I agreed with that, but she would need to talk with mom about it when she was older, she was only 9 now, not anywhere old enough to foalsit a newborn pup, in my opinion, maybe once she was around 15 and more responsible.

Then next I talked with Shining and he was curious about them as well, why they were named like that, we talked about names and how they usually fit what a pony or non pony is like during their life, but it doesn't limit them or hinder them.

I pointed out that his name is Shining Armor but he has a shield as a cutie mark, so he isn't necessarily specialized in armor but more so in defense and protection, and he agreed with me, but he also admitted to wanting to become a guard, that meant that he was going to guard academy after elementary.

Despite knowing I would miss him, I knew it was his destiny to become a royal guard, and he was going to be a very good one too, I just knew it.

I hoped that even after he left for the academy we could still be friends and hang out, I wanted to stay close to him, to all my friends, even after school was over and we stared to get jobs.

I knew I had to try, that's the least I could do, and I will, I will try to make our friendship last, and I hope they do too.

After talking and once everypony was satisfied with what they learned, we all played volleyball, a fun sport that ponies excel at with their hooves, it was a short game but very satisfying to play with friends, I'll gladly admit that I didn't try my best, but I was also not throwing the game, I wanted my friends to have fun, that includes my team, so I didn't lose on purpose or something stupid like that, I just passed the ball and let Sprout score.

To challenge myself I decided to try something new, and only used my tail to hit the ball, I wanted to test how dexterous I could be just by using my longest appendage, and I have to say I'm impressed, its very precise for attacking, hitting the ball in this case, I never tried using it before in combat, but maybe I should when I finally decide to learn how to fight unarmed.
