Post#: 21027144 > be anon > be married to Princess Luna > currently sitting together in our study room > "ANON! It's... I think it's time!" "time for what?" > "oh I don't know, maybe our foals to be born!" suddenly realizing the current events "GAURD! GET THE DOCTOR NOW!" > The gaurd doesn't even reply, he just knows what's happening > I've been waiting for this time for nearly a year > found out we were having twins a few months back > a colt and a filly > turns out that somehow man and mare are compatible in making children, though not entirely sure if it will be a saytr or pony > me personally, I hope it's a pony > Celestia was probably the most excited when we told everyone the news, excluding Ponk of course "Where is that damned doctor at!?" > "Anon, i-its.....it's only been a few minutes. The doc..... The doctor shall arrive soon.... Hopefully. " > suddenly the doctor and a few nurses burst through the door "Bout damn time!" >> "I came as soon as I could sir, how long has she been in labor?" Asks the doctor who shall be named Tim "Uh, I'm not sure but roughly ten to fifteen minutes." > suddenly Luna cries out in pain, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I think.... they are...... coming out now!" >> "Yes, it would seem so. Just push and breathe, push and breathe." "You are doing great Luna, just hang in there, almost done." > "AAHH! You will pay.... for this." > with a loud cry of pain, the first foal is brought into the world > It's a colt with a grey-ish white coat and dull yellow mane > "Thats one out, and one to go." Says Tim as he hands (hooves? Hoofs?) over the crying foal to a nurse > Luna starts having trouble at this point, the doctor and I both notice "Luna are you ok? What's wrong!? Doc, do something!" >> "Come on, hang in there until we get the second foal out of you, your highness. I see it coming now." > And with yet another cry of pain the second foal is born > Luna faints right after birthing the second foal, only there is something wrong > gravely wrong > It's then that I realize that our filly was stillborn > She had a bright yellow coat with an orange mane "M-may...may I have her doctor?" >> "of course sir." > It's a surreal moment when you hold something that should be alive but isn't > The only thing I can compare it too is when you are holding a dead pet dog or cat > but the major difference is when this "pet" is supposed to be your new born daughter > they moved Luna into our room and onto the bed, cleaned her and our son when they did so > I didn't know that at the time, I was sitting in a corner holding my daughter's body as if she were alive > I was crying, but I didn't care "Doctor, can you do me a favor?" >> "yes, what is it?" "Don't tell luna about our daughter, I want to be the one to break the news to her." >> "If you wish to, I shall let you do so. I am terribly sorry about your loss." > I don't even reply, I am too lost in my own world of sadness and hatred towards the world > I try to think if this is just a dream, or some cruel prank by discord > deep down I know it's real (but it was a dream!) > a nurse interrupts my thoughts, "excuse me sir, Princess Celestia wishes to see you and your new family. What shall I tell her?" "Let her in." >> "Anon! I heard Luna had her fo..." >her sentence ended abruptly as she noticed how I looked and the fact that I was holding a dead foal >> "Anon, I'm so sorry. What of the other foal? The colt?" "Alive, with Luna. She fainted after giving birth. In our room I think." >> "Does she know?" "No, I want to be the one to tell her though. But how do I tell her? Hey honey, you know how you had twins? Well we don't have twins anymore cause our daughter is dead!" > to this I received a slap that I deserved >> "ANON! I am ashamed of you, I know this is a sad time with the death of your daughter, but you shouldn't go around making it worse!" > "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Princess Luna is awake and she is asking for you two and your daughter." "Tell her we will be in there in a few minutes" >> "Anon, you must tell Luna the truth but you can't be so blunt about it. She would be devastated even more about this." "You're right, I'm sorry for what I said. Now let's go break the bad news to her." > I got up and started walking to the door that is to my bedroom where Luna and our colt were > I painfully reached for the door handle; it wasn't a physical pain, but a pain to the feels > I slowly turned the handle and opened the door. > as I slowly walked inside the room, Celestia passed me as she went straight to Luna's side > luna look very tired, as would anyone who gave birth to twins > our colt was busy nursing on one of Luna's teats > she looked up at us as we entered, and she immediately locked eyes with me >one glance towards our daughter told her everything > It broke my heart to see her break into violent wailing cries of anguish and knowing that there wasn't much I could do. this is where the dream ended.
