RaphShimmer: Matter of Family

Owari

Raphael's P.O.V.

After my brothers and I left Equestria, they turned back to their regular human selves. Maybe it was magic, I don't know. Donnie and I never really question the logic of magic nowadays. It's part of life, and I've been dealing with it just fine. Sunset was relieved to know that Garrett and Billy were okay and alive, and that The Storm King was dead. The next day, Princess Twilight wrote to us, letting us know that she and Garrett were officially engaged. We're really happy for them. A week later, Sunset's due date came, and her water broke.

We were at the hospital, and I was with Sunset while she was in labor, holding her hand. She was screaming in pain. Also with us were my brothers, Sunset's friends, Spike, Princess Twilight, and Garrett. Sci-Twi was helping with the delivery. "You got this Sunset, you got this," I assured her. "IT HURTS SO MUCH!!!!" Sunset cried, screaming through another contraction. "Remember your breathing Sunny," instructed Sci-Twi, and Sunset breathed heavily, doing the breathing method that we were taught in parenting class. 30 minutes later, we heard a baby crying. Sci-Twi held the baby and said, "it's a girl!" One of the other doctors took the baby girl to clean her up. "One more to go," I said to Sunset as I gently kissed her. She weakly smiled at me and then got back to pushing. Three minutes later, we heard another baby crying. Sci-Twi held the other baby and said, "it's a boy! You can rest now Sunset. We're going to clean the twins up." Sunset nodded and yawned, exhausted. "Hope I didn't crush your hand too badly," joked Sunset as she let go. I kissed her and said, "I've endured worse. Besides, this was worth it." I then kissed Sunset on the lips, and let her fall asleep.

A few hours later, we were transitioned to a different hospital bed where Sunset could rest. Sunset slowly woke up, seeing me, Garrett, and the rest of her friends with her. She smiled and said to me, "hey big guy." I kissed her and said, "hello, watashi no ai." Watashi no ai means my love in Japanese. A few minutes later, Sci-Twi came in with the twins, both asleep. They both had green skin like me, but they had human forms. "Hey you two," said Sci-Twi, "you want to hold your babies?" Sunset and I smiled and silently nodded. Sci-Twi gave the girl to Sunset, and the boy to me. They both slowly woke up, squinting their eyes to look at their parents. Sunset tearfully smiled and said, "oh my gosh... Hi... Summer Miwa Hamato... It's me... It's Mommy." Summer had emerald green eyes like me. I looked at my son and said, "hello, Nova Hiro Hamato. Daddy's here. I promise." He has Sunset and Garrett's eye color. Sunset got a good look at Nova, and kissed him and Summer on the foreheads. "They're perfect," said Sunset, "I love you Raphael." I kissed her and said, "I love you too Sunset." I finally have my entire family together. My brothers are alive, I have my wife, and we have our two wonderful children. If this really is an Owari, I'd say it's the perfect Owari.

The End.
