(Note: The unicorn OC is Meadowshy, my idea of Fluttershy’s maternal grandmother. I know that the majority of Flutter’s family are Pegasi but let’s say that Meadowshy’s late husband was a pegasus)

+Excerpt from ““A Motherly Princess[](https://www.fimfiction.net/story/424318/a-motherly-princess+)
 
Azure Glide walked amongst the cribs of the foal room, ensuring the more smaller occupants were fast asleep. With a shush, he shut the lights off and left the room, taking care he didn’t make the smallest of noise. Turning around, his eyes locked onto the kind face of Ms. Meadow.
 
“Hello Azure,” She greeted, “how were they?”
 
“Sound asleep, ma’am.” He replied, “It was no trouble at all.”
 
“Hmmm, well, what could I have done without your helping hooves? I thank you for all you’ve done for me but there’s one last thing I need of you.”
 
“What is it that you need?”
 
“To say goodbye,” The moment those words left her lips, Azure Glide froze in place. But, the next few would have an even greater impact.
 
“You’re going to a new home.”
 
For a while, Azure sat there in disbelief with his hooves shaking. He couldn’t believe it. He was finally going to have a loving mother and father. His heart fluttered with excitement, eager to meet his new parents.
 
“OH MY GOSH!” He shouted as he jumped up and down with unbound glee. “I HAVE A NEW MOMMY AND DADDY! YIPEE!” Ms. Meadow cracked a smile at his display of joy. His worry and sadness had been lifted.
 
“Okay now, let’s go to your bunk and gather your belongings. They’ll be waiting for you there.”
 
Ms. Meadow and Azure trotted down the halls towards his room. Once they opened the door, Azure was caught off guard by what he saw before him, the same alabaster alicorn with a flowing mane of four colors. She was the same mare he talked to and displayed the dreams he held dear.
 
“Why hello there,” Spoke Celestia with a smile and hooves outstretched. “my son.” Azure’s eyes began to water up with tears. But, they were not tears of sadness. They were the product of joy. It was hard to believe that the princess of the sun herself would take him in as her son. But, here she was, hooves outstretched, welcoming him. With his heart overloaded with joy, Azure flew into Celestia’s hooves, wrapping all fours around her barrel and nuzzling his tear soaked face into her chest fluff. He was so happy that at long last, he found a place to belong.
 
“Shhh,” Celestia shushed, rubbing his back and rocking him back and forth to calm him. “It’s alright, my dear son. You don’t have to feel sad anymore. You’re going home.”
