The Midnight Dance 1/10

Family

The royal family was going about their day until trumpets sounded off and a herald called out 

herald: Announcing the return of Princess Twinkle Star, Princess Apple Jewel, and their new husbands 

Twilight gasped in excitement: They're back 

She threw her paperwork up while poor Kibitz tried to catch it, Spike had been snacking in the kitchen with his wife trying to keep his claws off the food when he and Applejack heard the herald, like Twilight, they spoke in excitement 

Spike and Applejack: They're back 

As they rushed to the foyer, they collided with Twilight and tumbled to the newlyweds' hooves 

Twinkle Star: Mom, are you okay 

She lent a hoof 

Apple Jewel in concern: And are you okay, Mom and Dad 

Applejack: We're fine, sugar cube 

She got up 

Twilight: We were just so excited to see you that we didn't watch where we were going 

Spike stretched out and cracked his back 

Spike: Yeah, next time, we'll know better 

Flash rushed in 

Flash Sentry: Everypony okay, I saw the crash 

Twilight: We're okay, Flash 

She faced her daughter and new son-in-law 

Twilight: Now that you're both back, I got lots of work for you to do 

Twinkle Star groaned: Do we have to, Mom 

Pen Pusher: Now, honey, it is our honor and privilege to do our parts so your mother can do hers 

Twinkle Star sighed: You're right as always, dear 

Flash Sentry: Why don't you go ahead, unpack, and settle in first before you do any work required 

Pen Pusher bowed his head: Certainly, Prince Flash Sentry 

Spike: Why not call him Dad 

Asher started pointing 

Asher: Does that mean I can 

Spike: Never mind 

Everyone around him laughed, it was very late at night and Apple Jewel was in bed with her husband when suddenly, a pain overcame her, she groaned in her sleep until the pain became unbearable and she woke up screaming, that startled half the castle awake, including Applejack and Spike 

Applejack: That was Jewel 

Spike got out of bed and started running out with his wife right behind him, they got to the room where they saw their daughter laying in bed and clutching her stomach in pain, Asher could only helplessly watch on the side, feeling at a loss about what was happening to his wife, Applejack rushed to her daughter's side 

Applejack: It's okay, sweetie, we're going to find out what's wrong 

She saw her sisters at the door with their husbands and Jewel's cousins who were here 

Twilight: I'll summon the doctor 

In minutes, the doctor examined Jewel and faced the royals with a puzzling look 

doctor: Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but it seems she is in labor 

the royals in shock: WHAT
