A Falling Star in Ponyville

Time had flown by. It was only a matter of days till the foal arrived. Star and Rarity had everything they needed and extras in case they were needed. Raritys stomach had gotten so big that she could hardly move around. Star now spent every moment by her side. In the last couple of weeks, the two of them had thought of the perfect names for the foal; Comet, if it was a colt, Venus, if it was a filly. Judging from the size of Raritys stomach, they were guessing it was a healthy colt. They had been to the doctor for the ultrasound, but had asked him not to give any details about the foal. They wanted to be surprised.

One day, as Rarity was walking around the house, she suddenly stiffened and calmly said "Star". Star immediatly flew into a frenzy, gathering everything they needed, magically sending letters to their friends and families, and lifting her gently onto his back. Walking gingerly, he managed to exit their home and take to the sky. It wasn't long before they arrived at the hospital. As soon as they landed, Star rushed in, being careful not to jostle Rarity and the foal. He quickly told the doctor what was happening. After Star finished explaining, the doctor found an empty room and helped get Rarity onto the bed. Soon, their friends and families arrived. After about an hour and a half, the doctors shooed everypony besides Star out of the room.

Outside the room, all the other ponies heard was Raritys pained screams and the doctor telling her to push. Suddenly, a small cry is heard and they know the foal has arrived. Before they can open the door though, Rarity once again screams in pain. They hear the doctor telling her to push again. Soon, Rarity stops screaming in pain and a new cry is heard, this one a little louder. The doctor comes out of the room and tells everypony that the delivery went without complications and says that they must wait in the lobby for a while.

After about thirty minutes, Rarity and Star walked into the lobby, Rarity looking a bit tired and disheveled, but both wore huge smiles on their faces. They wordlessly beckoned for the others to follow them and turned back down the hall. The others silently stood and followed the couple down to the viewing room, where they would be able to see the newborn foal. Star and Rarity entered the room and the others waited on the other side of the viewing window. The couple stood next to a cradle and smiled. They looked at their families and friends with smiles permanently etched on their faces.

Star looked into the crib next to him and the smile on his face widened. He looked over at the window and saw everypony waiting in anticipation. "Say hello to our daughter, Venus." He said, indicating the little, purple, alicorn filly. The groups smiled at the newborn filly as she yawned. "Say hello, again, to our son, Comet." Rarity told the group, indicating the little, white and blue, pegasus colt in another cradle. The group stood in awe and wonder, looking back and forth between the two newborns. Star and Rarity walked out of the room that they were in and joined their friends and families on the other side of the glass. They were met by a tidal wave of hugs, congratulations, tears of joy, and smiles. Everypony would remember the day that Celestia and Luna actually cried in public.
