Celestia: Twilight? May I come in?
 
Twilight: Yes, of course. The doctors just left a moment ago.
 
Celestia: enters the room, her movements slow as if treading water Is it…
 
Twilight: It’s a colt, ‘Tia! She smiles sweetly
 
Celestia: Oh my, Twilight… he’s…
 
Twilight: Suddenly blushing, almost ashamed Oh, ‘Tia… I don’t understand why he’s an earth pony! We are both alicorns, so our son could have had either chance of being a pegasus or a unicorn… probably even more chance of being a unicorn, due to me previously being one!
 
Celestia: Twil–
 
Twilight: The first thing I’ll do when I can manage walking, I’ll go to the library and search through my heritage. Perhaps there was an earth pony that I hadn’t known about! Or maybe I can get a guard to deliver the papers to me…
 
Celestia: I don’t think–
 
Twilight: But I’m sure we can figure it out, ‘Tia! At any case, he’ll be taught in the art of magic, and flight, at least in theory. He may be unable to do either, but he can have the knowledge of how to do it! Oh, and he’ll need textbooks on the matter too! I should ask a guard to look for–
 
Celestia: Twilight!
 
Twilight: stops her worried blubbering, looking up to Celestia worriedly
 
Celestia: I was going to say… He’s perfect. She kneels down
 
Twilight: Oh! I… um…
 
Celestia: smiles Twilight, do not worry now. You have had a rough night, so please leave it to me. He may not be a unicorn, or a pegasus, but he is my son and I love him. I can sense the magic inside him, the same magic that flows through me and you. Please, do not fear. I love you.
 
Twilight: Oh, ‘Tia… I’m sorry.
 
Celestia: Do not apologize. A tear perches at her eye You are simply being a mother, and you are already perfect.
