	Celestia sighed as she mentally composed herself, she wasn’t looking forward to what was coming. 
Over the course of the years, it had become a standard policy of Equestrian government to invite diplomats and ambassadors over to discuss matters of importance between the various nations. It was always something arbitrary; griffons wanting more gold, a pony looked at a dragon funny and now they want to invade all of Saddle Arabia, that sort of thing. But more importantly, these diplomats usually only met one at a time with the Equestrian Princesses, if they could even convince them to come in the first place. This time though it wasn’t just one, it was three, all at once.
Her train of thought was broken from a fluttering in her midsection. Looking back, she smiled warmly her swollen belly. She was nearing the end of her pregnancy and the physical burden it brought was always a constant. But she, like many things, had to take it in stride. Diplomacy, and the running of a nation, couldn’t be put on hold on the merit of her physical state. She nuzzle the side of her flank briefly
“Just a little longer, then we can rest”

Her ears and head snapped up as she heard someone enter the room. That someone in question was a brown alicorn with a rose cutie mark. And much like Celestia, she was sporting a rather heavy womb. The brown mare was the first to make a bow which Celestia returned in kind.
“Celestia”
“Rosevine”
The two straightened back upright
“How are the little ones doing?” 
“Surprisingly still, they’re usually up and active by now”
“They’re getting ready to be born” Rosevine shivered
“Don’t want to think about it, not with this hearing right in front of us”
Celestia gave her a smile and nuzzled the side of Rose’s neck
“Don’t worry, it’ll all be fine. Besides, I’ll be doing most of the talking” The brown alicorn adjusted herself and exhaled.
“Ready?”
“No, but let’s go and get it over with”
And with that, the two alicorns walked into the ornate room. The open air atrium was surrounded on all sides by a lovely garden. And at the round table in the middle sat four distinct individuals. From the left sat an emerald colored Kirin, the supposed offspring race from an age long past when dragons and ponies were a tad “closer” than they are now. Second was a familiar face, Princess Luna who, at the moment, was currently napping on the table. The third was a griffon, currently staring at the snoozing Luna like someone would a discarded apple core was placed in front of them. The last was a young dragon, the age part being assumed based on the fact they could even fit in the building, let alone sit at the table.

The group for the most part was busy chatting among themselves and hadn’t yet noticed the two alicorns enter.
As the two princesses approach, Rosevine suddenly stopped. It took Celestia a moment to notice before she turn her head around. Rose had a look of sudden shock on her face.
“Are you ok?” 
The brown mare shook her head no
“What’s wrong?” before she could get an answer, she saw Rose’s belly quiver a bit. 
Oh no
Leaning to the side, Celestia saw Rose’s backside and had her fears confirmed. Between the mare’s legs was the start of a white sac. 
The princess immediately flared her wins and leaned in
“Did you know you were in labor!?” she said in a whispered hiss.
“No! I didn’t feel anything until just now!” her face was looking panicked 
“What do we do?” before Celestia could answer, the griffon at the table finally noticed the two mares standing on the other side of the room
“Finally! There you are! We’ve been waiting over an hour!”
The two mares were hit with a sense of dread as they turned to see the eyes of the diplomats on them. Right on que, Luna snapped awake.
“Hm, wha? Ah yes! Let us begin this hearing!”

Celestia took one more glance at Rose from behind her wing
“Just follow my lead” she whispered before lowering her wings and adjusting her posture to look a bit more dignified.
“Yes, let us begin” The two approached the table and then stopped. The silence was heavy for a moment. The griffon suddenly looked agitated
“Well? Are you going to sit down?” The two alicorns took a glance at the other. Rose’s eyes were pleading. 
“Um, no. We’ll will stand.”
“Hmph. Want to lord over us politically and physically?” 
Rather than indulge the diplomat, Celestia turned to Luna.
“We’ll start with the talking points”, and then turned her attention to the Kirin, “Ambassador Jadethorn, I believe you’re first”. The Kirin cleared his throat.
“Yes, we’ve had…issues with our neighbors deciding they need our land more than we do.”
Celestia quipped an eyebrow
“Which ones?” The Kirin cast a glare at the dragon diplomat.
“The scalie ones…”
“YOU PUNNY RUNTS DON’T DESERVE OUR ANCESTRAL LAND!”
The Kirin’s horn lit up as the dragon’s mouth began to gather flames. Right on time, Luna telekinetically snuffed out the magic on the Kirin and snapped the dragon’s mouth shut.
“Regardless of where we come from. When we come to this table, we will act like civilized being, or I WILL personally LAUNCH you back to your homeland!” after a moment’s silence, Luna released her magic on the two. 
“Now, let’s discuss this issue proper”
It was gonna be a long day

An hour later, Celestia had managed to convince the dragons to give the kirins their land back in exchange for a shipment of their finest gemstones. Poor Rosevine had managed to endure this far, but it was clear she was reaching her limit as sweat poured off her body. Still, despite it and her twitching flank, she kept her legs cross in an attempt to delay the inevitable. Things should have come to a close already, except-
“What do you mean you won’t give us more financial support!?” The griffon yelled from his end of the table.
“Ironfeather, we’ve been over this already. We gave you the annual limit of gold last month.”
“That’s not good enough!”
“ENOUGH”, everyone turned to see Rosevine, all of her sense of diplomacy drained
“We have given you enough gold to support a small village for a decade, and you managed to squander it in a month!” she was leaning over the table now, staring down the feathered diplomat
“You’ve abused the kindness of others! You want more!? You don’t deserve a single coin!”
Celestia at this point was trained on diplomat Ironfeather, trying to predict his reaction. He just sat there for a minute, beak agape before fluffing up his feathers.
“This isn’t over!” and with that, he stormed out. The dragon and kirin diplomats looked around for a moment.
“I supposed this meeting is over”, the Kirin said as he stood up and dismissed himself with the dragon not being too far behind.
Luna looked around, and simply shrugged to her sister
“Well that could have gone worse. You should come to these meetings more often, Rose…Rose?”
Looking up, Luna pointed Celesita to the archway leading to the garden surrounding the atrium. Looking out she spotted Rose, clinging to a tree, her body heaving as it tried to finish its prolonged labor. Already there was a pair of legs peeking through her folds. Celestia was at her side in an instant.

"Just breath, let your body take over” she said as she stroked Rosevine’s back. And take over it did, in a few short heaves, her progress went from the start of legs, to half an alicorn foal hanging out. Oh so gently, Celestia helped ease the foal out before cleaning it off.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy!”
Panting, Rose looked over at her newborn son.
“He’s..He’s beautiful”, she winced as her contractions kicked up again
“You may, uh, want to put him over beside me for now. I don’t think I’m done yet…”
They both looked at her middle, which was still noticeably distended. 
“I can help!” Luna declared, having observed the entire scene from behind Celestia unnoticed.
Carefully, she laid down and scooped the small foal under her wing “carry on!”
A minute later, the contractions picked up again and Rose and back delivering the rest of her children.

A minute later, the contractions picked up again and Rose and back delivering the rest of her children. Half an hour later, Rose had successfully delivered two daughters, but the wear was starting to take its toll on her.
“Am I almost done?” she panted. Celestia carefully felt the underside of Rose’s belly. The skin was nowhere near as taunt as it was, but she could feel something solid still.
“Almost, you’ve got one more” she hoped at least.
Rosevine mustered the last of her energy and began to bear down on the remaining foal. Muscles clenched, her womb went taunt, and the final foal slid out into the world. Rosevine finally released the tree and lowred herself onto the ground As Celestia finished cleaning the foal, she paled. 
It wasn’t moving.
“oh no” she whispered. They had took too long
“Sister?” 
Rose tried to crane her neck around but was too tired 
“Wha-? What’s wrong?”
“Come on, come on…” Celestia mumbled as she started carefully stroked the side of the filly, trying to get it to take a breath. After what felt like an eternity, the filly suddenly twitched and coughed and started to cry. Celestia finally stopped holding her breath.
“Congratulations, Rose. You’re the mother of four beautiful foals.” Carefully, she and Luna telekinetically carried the children to their mother who finally let them nurse.
“So, how did the meeting go?”
“Well, we may have sparked a war with the Griffons” Rose winced for a second “But otherwise I’d say it was a good run”
“I think, from now on I’ll leave the diplomacy to you”
“To be fair, you said to Ironfeather what was on my mind”
“Thank you, Celestia”
“No, it was all you”
And with that, Rosevine rested her head on the tree for a brief nap.

“Well that was a day” Luna said standing back up
“Perhaps a bit too exciting for a liking”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself, you managed to get through a diplomatic meeting AND a birth all in one day. Now you just gotta deliver your own” she said rubbing the side of her sister’s belly
Celestia scrunched her face “Don’t remind me”
