An Interesting New Life

Chapter 2 : Settling in Part-2
By : The Eternal Star

I don't know how long I had fallen asleep, but I was woken up by my mother gently caressing my face with her feathers while saying "Wake up, my little one"

I let out a yawn before slowly opening my eyes and was greeted by the sight of my mother's relieved and happy face. After my mother saw that I had opened my eyes, she hugged me close to her chest with her wings before turning her gaze behind me and asked.

"My little filly had woken up doc, may I see the result of the observations and scans now?"

Since my face was still smothered in her chest fluff, I couldn't see who my mother was talking to. But guessing from the mare voice that answered my mother's question next, and my mother just called her doctor, I assume it had to be Doctor Clean Feather.

"Yes, Miss Aeterna. Now that your filly has woken up, we can finally get the final result report in three... two... one... there we go!"

I then heard a ding sound which was quickly followed by a few seconds of sound similiar to a printer making a print, then followed by another final ding.

"So, what are the final result doc, doc?" My mother asked, worry and slight fear filling her voice.

I heard the familiar sparkling sound of magic being used to pick up things which in this case I assumed to be a result report, before a few seconds later Doctor Clean answered with a relieved voice.

"Ah, it seemed from the result report here that I read. Your filly Critic here only suffered one complication and that is her eyes which had been taken care of.

So, congratulations Miss Aeterna. Despite the very extraordinary circumstances your filly Critic here has regarding the size of her magical pathway and brain nerves. Other than a very significant increase in brain activity compared to most healthy adults, which is to be expected from the bigger brain nerves.

And the significant reduction in vision due to magical pathway blocking the eye nerves. Your filly here is otherwise, completely fine and healthy"

After hearing Doctor Clean state the result report, my mother let out a joyful shout as she lit up her horn, snatched the result report from Doctor Clean's magical grasp, and brought it to her face. A few seconds later, my mother let out another joyful shout as she hugged me this time with both her wings and forehooves as she said in a joyful voice.

"I knew you would be okay my little filly! Mother was so worried that you might have further complications, yet you once again defied the odds and became completely healthy!"

'Damn Mom, I knew that you would be really happy and relieved that other than my worse vision- which had been taken care of -I have no further complications.

But did you have to be so loud? I'm pretty sure the whole building just shook from your shouting alone. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have no further complications other than my eyes. But if I were in your position Mom, I wouldn't let out shouts that probably wake up the entire hospital.'I complained in my mind as my new equine ears moved instinctively downward to block off the loud sounds.

As I was complaining about all of that in my mind, my mother continued to hug me in a very tight- but not breathtaking -manner and nuzzled my face and head with her muzzle multiple times.

Honestly, right now I was thinking that my mother that my mother is the hard-to-reach-out type if what my father said regarding me having a possibility of having a personality similar to my mother's. Yet once you had reached out to her, she would be very affectionate and physical around you, always hoping the best for you.

'That fact/theory if it was right, could be a problem' I thought in my mind as while the fact that my mother would definitely support me in any way she could.

Especially in my future effort of acquiring and using the acquired knowledge to revolutionize Alicorn kind which I'm very thankful for. The other fact is that it means she would be very affectionate and physical toward me since I'm her filly.

She would very often hug or nuzzle me or do other similar activities whenever I had done something good or worthy of her praise. Considering my view on personal space and act reached the point that I would very rarely allow those close to me, or even my own family to hug me... yeah, you and I could see how this could problem.

However, my next line of thought was cut off and my mother ceased her nuzzle as an "ahem" was heard from behind me with the voice coming from a certain aquamarine alicorn.

"While we do understand your relief and happiness that your little filly here is completely fine and healthy aside from one already taken care of complication. Miss Aeterna, I must ask you to please not to shout out loud again. The time is still around five AM and there are other patients sleeping" Nurse Heal said in a stern yet cautious voice which made me tilt my head.

One thing that I noticed of, whenever Doctor Clean or Nurse Heal asked, answered, responded, or said something to my mother. Their voice is always cautious, nervous, or unsure which makes me wonder why.

After hearing this, my mother let out a very sheepish smile as her face went red in embarrassment followed by an equally embarrassed and sheepish tone as she said.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry Nurse Heal, I suppose I was just soo glad and so relieved to find out that my little filly Critic here defied the odds again and came out completely healthy with no extra complications.

However, it still doesn't excuse me for letting out loud shouts that probably disturbed other patient's sleep. I offer you my sincerest apology and my word that this won't happen again"

Nurse Heal then let out a relieved sigh as if she just dodged another bullet there. Again, why are both Nurse Heal and Doctor Clean so cautious and nervous around my mother since my father and brother just calmly talked to her?

After a few seconds of silence, Nurse Heal takes a deep breath before saying "Your apology is accepted, Miss Aeterna. Now if there's nothing else you need from us, we have other patients to attend to. Like before, if you need something press the yellow gem. If it's urgent then press the red one and we will come in running, have a nice day"

I then heard both of them walk out of the room before I assumed to be Nurse Heal closed the door after Doctor Clean and she went past it, leaving me alone in the room with my mother again.

Exactly after that, my stomach grumbled in protest at the lack of milk in it. My mother looked down at my face and said "Oh my little filly, you are hungry again, don't you? Let momma Aeterna feed you"

My mother then released her hug and floated me up into the air with her magic as she shifted her body so that she lay on her side. Then she began floating me downward until my mouth directly met again with my mother's velvet crotchboobs with purple swollen nipples, I quickly latched to one of the nipples and began sucking the milk out of it.

Soon enough, the sweet milk with a bit of sourness in it came out of my mother's nipple directly into my thirsty mow and hungry belly. My mother let out an admittedly, passionate hmms and moans as I sucked on her nipple for a few minutes before no more milk come out of it and my belly was full.

I let go of my latch on her nipple as Mother enveloped me in her magic again and floated me up into the air as she shifted her body so that she lay on her back again. Before proceeding to bring me downward and placing me on top of her belly.

She then hugged me with her wings as she said in a happy voice "There you go my little filly, all nice and full just like before". As she nuzzled my face with her muzzle a few times.

After that, she then moved my body with her wings so that I would lay on my back and returned to hugging me with her wings. She looked up at the clock above the door, which now that I was laying on my back. I was able to see the clock- which is written in normal numbers just more symbolized -to see it read twenty minutes after five AM.

After seeing the time the clock showed, my mother moved her gaze at me and asked in wonder "Well, my little Critic. Now that we are alone and your brother and father aren't gonna come see us until after seven AM. Do you know what should we do to pass the time? Perhaps I should tickle you like before?". As she began moving her wing feathers independently.

At this, I quickly squirmed and shook my head from side to side to tell her that I didn't want to be tickled. Upon seeing my body squirm and my head shaking, Mother stopped moving her feather and asked in surprise and curiosity "Oh, perhaps my little Critic here doesn't want to be tickled?"

'Mom, the first time you tickled me you kept doing it for minutes even as I started to run out of breath and begin to pant. Also, I have rarely ever been hugged in my previous life. What makes you think I would like to get tickled instead?' I asked in my mind as I squirmed and shook my head again to ensure that she got the message that I DO NOT like getting tickled.

Seeing that I squirmed and shook my head again, it seemed that she got the message I was trying to send and asked in another tone of wonder as she looked up at the ceiling. "Well, my little filly here seem to not like being tickled. So what should I do as her mother to pass the time for both of us?"

She then turned her gaze back from the ceiling to me and asked "What do you think my little Critic? What should I do as your mother to pass the time together?"

'Well, I don't think there is much we ca-... now that I think about it. Perhaps how about you explain to your newborn filly here about all categories of Alicorns and their advanced forms?' I suggested in my mind despite knowing that my mother couldn't read my mind like Death was.

Or could she?

My mother then sighed in exasperation as she said "What am I doing here, talking to my little filly like she can talk back, let alone understand what I'm saying"

My mother looked up at the ceiling again and this time she began suggesting a few things like she was trying to suggest what was on my mind, starting by saying. "What about the story of how I got to know my elemental alignment? No, I already told you that yesterday.

I definitely couldn't send us to sleep since we just woke up less than half an hour ago. How about the story of how I met your father? Nah, too intimate. What about if I began explaining to my little filly here about all categories of Alicorns and their advanced forms?

Nah, my little filly wo-" I knew that she was about to change the topic so I squirmed to get her attention.

Mother then turned her attention to me and looked at my face with concern "Is something wrong, my filly?"

I shook my head and squirmed again my mother tilted her head at this and asked in confusion "What is it my filly? Do you want Mother to explain each category of Alicorns and their advanced forms?"

Hearing this, I quickly squirmed and nodded my head as best as I could. This response made Mother have mixed expressions between further confusion and amusement as she asked. "You know, my filly Critic, you had managed to defy two great odds that are stacked against you twice since you have been born.

So could you actually defy another great odds stacked against you? Could you actually from the very start able to understand what Mother and others have said all this time?"

Mother then brought my face close to hers and looked at me right in the eyes for a few seconds, before she brought me back where I was previously and planted her left forehoof on her forehead as as she said. "Or it could just be me starting to hallucinate again due to thinking too hard and my filly here just actually tilted her head left and right while trying to look up at my face"

Mother rubbed her forehead for a few seconds while closing her eyes, before bringing it back down as she shook her head and sighed before looking at me and saying. "Heh, whatever it is. I suppose the topic of each category of Alicorns and their advanced forms are gonna do to pass the time"

My mother took a deep breath in preparation for what I would assume to be a long explanation, before saying "Well, my little filly, Critic. You may not understand what Mother said next. But know that one day, this would be important. Anyway, the Alicorn race is divided into eight categories..."
