Shining Armor held his breath as he looked at his niece. Cadence also stood frozen.

"No."

Cadence's horn lit up as magic turned the filly over. She cleaned the airway and started to pat the back of the newborn. For a second, Shining Armor feared the foal may have been a lost cause, but just as this thought crossed his mind, the filly whimpered. She scrunched up her tiny face before she started to cry. Twilight started to cry with her, and Shining Armor felt like he might as well. Cadence cut the umbilical cord with a clean swipe of magic, and moved to hand the filly to the new mother.

Twilight groaned in pain and did not take her daughter from Cadence. Shining looked over at his wife.

"Is it the afterbirth?"

The young alicorn's eyes widened.

"No! It's another foal!"

Blood started to flow from between Twilight's hooves. Cadence rushed forward. The little black filly was quickly placed in Shining's hooves as Cadence moved to help. Shining looked down at the little foal and winced. Both him and his niece were covered in amniotic fluid. A quick spell cleaned the both of them up. The newborn girl continued to cry. She was cold and hungry, and her home had just evicted her into a scary new place. Anypony would cry.

Another shrill voice joined the other.

"It's a boy! A beautiful little colt!"

The colt was a light purple earth pony, its fur just a shade lighter than Twilight's. His mane and tail were a solid blue color, the same as Twilight and Shining's father. The little colt was also very small. Twilight smiled, but the blood did not seem to slow. Both Cadence and Shining shared a worried look.

Twilight held out her hooves and both of her foals were placed on her chest. She looked down at the little filly first, who opened her bright blue eyes. The colt looked up at his mother with dark green irises. Both foals started to suck on a hoof. The other twin's hoof. Twilight smiled.

"My little Scarlet Lilly. My little Forest Oak."

Twilight nuzzled them both and placed them next to her. The young mare turned over and stood up on shaking legs. She stood there before her eyes rolled up into her head and she collapsed to the side. Shining Armor rushed to his sister's side and held her head in his hooves. The two foals started to cry.

"We need hep in here!"

Soon the entire group was in the cave as the doctors rushed over. One went to Twilight while the other and a nurse went to the foals. Everypony watched as the doctors worked. The one by Twilight called over.

"She's hemorrhaging and the placenta has yet to arrive! We need to move her now! She'll hold long enough for us to teleport, but we need to go soon!"

The other doctor was looking the foals over, frowning.

"The filly doesn't seem to be breathing right!"

Shining Armor cleared his throat.

"When she arrived, she wasn't breathing. Cadence had to drain her lungs just to get her to cry."

The doctor's frown grew. He quickly looked Forest Oak over.

"He's too small. Something is very wrong with him. If we want these foals to live, we need to get them to a hospital!"

Princess Celestia and Luna looked the scene over. Celestia's horn glowed, and in a bright flash, the foals, doctors, the nurse, Twilight, and the Princess all disappeared. The remaining elements of harmony all flinched, as if in pain. Fluttershy held Spike to her. Luna sighed as she summoned her magic.

"Gather closer. We will have trouble, but we shall be able to teleport everypony."

The group huddled around Luna as her magic surged. A pulling feeling encased everypony as they were yanked away. When Shining Armor opened his eyes, they were in the hospital. His sister was nowhere in sight. Celestia sat in a waiting room chair.

"They just took them all back. Twilights in the ICU and the foals are in the NICU."

Everypony sighed, but not in relief. They all sat down tensely, and waited for good, or bad news.
