Celestia The Mommy. (on hold)

>be celestia
>taking a midnight walk through the royal gardens. Enjoying the cold weather and your sister's night.
>suddenly bright flash of light and some small creature falls on the grass in front of you.
>you get closer and it backs away from you and starts gripping its teddy bear tighter.
>It's clearly afraid and doesn't know what's going on. You can see it's trying to hide its crying.
>it starts shaking from the cold.
>you smile and that seems to calm it down a little. It lets you get closer but still grips its teddy bear tight.
>you step slowly next to it and wrap your wings around it.
>the softness of your feathers calm its breathing down. You stop worrying it might pass out in front of you.
>you use your wings to pull it close to you and rest its head on your chest. You feel its quiet tears against you.
>the calming beat of your heart pounding stops its sobbing and your body heat warmed it up enough to stop shivering.
>you sit there for an hour, softly humming to keep it calm as it listens to your 'bigger than its head' heart pulse inside your chest.
"What's your name little one?"
>it's quiet for a moment. Perhaps it did not understand you or maybe didn't expect you to speak.
>"a-anon."
"Anon. That's a very lovely name."
>the wind picks up a little and even in your embrace you can tell Anon is getting cold.
"Would you like to come inside the castle with me anon?"
>anon doesn't say anything but you feel him nod against your chest.
>you pull away your wings and magically lift him onto your back before trotting into the castle.
>anon flings his arms around you and holds you tighter than he was holding his teddy bear.
>you take him up to your bedroom and tuck him into bed.
>as you turn to leave the half asleep anon says something in an almost whisper
>"please don't go"
>you smile and lay down next to him in bed. Your wing stretching over him as both of you drift off to sleep.
>always did want to be a mommy.

>you spent most of the next day talking to your little guest in your bedroom and bringing in food and other necessities throughout the day.
>you didn't want to cause a panic so you kept contact with him strictly to just you.
>you learned that he was a hue mane, and that he didn't know anymore than you did about how he came here.
>you learned about his favorite foods and colors. About his favorite games and toys. He tells you about his life back home.
>as he talked he would sometimes get very sad or start crying silently.
>anytime he did you would pull him close and hum a soft tune as he listened to your heart.
>that always seemed to calm him down, and feeling him embrace your chest when he felt vulnerable gave you a warm sensation you have never felt before.
>you learned that riding on your back always made him smile and sometimes made him laugh.
>and that he was afraid of heights, even if he didn't want to admit it.
>you learned that he loved to play around with your mane
>and that he would smile and go silent when you played with his.
>you learned that he wears a lot of clothes, and it takes him awhile to take them off to take a bath.
>you also learned that he gets very embarrassed and red whenever you offer to help.
>you make a mental note to hire some tailors.
>that night you learn that he's not comfortable enough with his new surroundings to sleep on his own yet.
>and that his face snuggling into your chest in the middle of the night is the most wonderful feeling in the world.

>today you wanted to show anon around the castle.
>after letting him get dressed, he didn't want you to help, you placed him on your back and headed out of the bedroom.
>you introduced anon to all the ponies you passed along the way.
>most of the ponies looked at him in awe or with a smile.
>a few would just stare, mouth agape.
>anon would respond to them both the same, he might squeak out a hi or lightly wave his hand but then quickly bury his head in the back of your neck and hold you tighter.
>the royal guards mostly hid their interest in him behind stern looks.
>but at least one of them wore a smile and talked excitedly with him.
>he even gave anon his helmet, and waved goodbye when you walked away.
>after the gift anon was much more relaxed about meeting others.
>you remind yourself to come back and get that guard's name.

>when you finally came to Luna's room anon held you tighter than he had all day. As if he was afraid you might leave him here.
>but a quick lunch and conversation later he was waving to her as you left. Excited to come see her again.
>you sent some letters and brought him outside to the royal gardens to take a break from meeting ponies.
>being alone with you he finally relax a little.
>although you'd be lying if you said you didn't enjoy him holding onto you all day. Like you were his teddy bear and he wanted you to protect him.
>after a little game of tag through some flowers you're sure you weren't suppose to trample you head back up to your bedroom.
>you got him ready for bed and after his bath gave him some of the clothes you had made for him.
>they were all too big and the shirts had 4 holes for his 2 arms but he wore them with a smile anyway.
>you sat him on the bed and asked
"Do you think you can sleep alone tonight Anon?"
>the smile slowly faded from his face, he looked away and nodded.
"Would you like me to stay with you again tonight?"
>"yes, please."
>you ruffle his mane and step onto the bed.
>you lay down next to him and extend your wing, using it to cover him like a blanket.
>you feel him move closer to you to rest his head on your chest.
>the sound of your heart slowly sending him into a dream filled sleep.
>"goodnight...mommy..."
>you feel a warm tingle spread through your body at the words and close your eyes to drift off to sleep.
"Goodnight, my son."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on anon, it's time to get up."
>"nooooo, five more minutes."
"You said the same thing 10 minutes ago now come on, you'll be late for class."
>you pull the covers off anon and when that fails to wake him you open the curtains and introduce your son to your sun.
>reluctantly, he gets up and after throwing a pillow or two
>or ten
>you might have started a pillow fight, it was unavoidable
>he gets up and gets ready for his first day of school.
>you head downstairs to prepare a breakfast only to see Luna's batter covered mane let you know someone else beat you to the punch.
>you could just have the chefs make something for him
>but he was your son, you felt like you should really be the one to do it.
>another bit of batter flies out of the mixer and hit Luna on the snout. You let out a small laugh.
"Making pancakes I see dear sister?"
>"We do not appreciate your comments this machine is harder to use than it looks."
>you get some towels and help Luna finish.
>after wrestling with a few machines and making a bigger mess (seriously how do you even get toast to hit the ceiling like that?) breakfast is ready!
>anon comes down and, after a bit of laughter at the sight of you two, digs into the breakfast you prepared.
>"this is delicious you should cook more often!"
"I would but I don't think the cleaning staff could handle it."
>he laughs and a smile escapes your exhausted body
>you loved his laugh.

>after breakfast you walked with him to school.
"did you pack a quill?"
>"yes."
"and some papers? did you bring your book? and-"
>"I brought everything mom, don't worry."
>you smiled and let out a light giggle.
"I just want to make sure you're ready dear."
>you make it to the school door and open it. Inside hundreds of small fillies and colts walk from room to room laughing and talking.
>you wait for him to step forward but he doesn't, he stands there holding on to your leg.
>you lean down and nuzzle his face.
"don't worry, you'll do fine."
>"but what if I say or do the wrong thing or what if they don't like me or-"
>you spread your wings and give him a warm hug with them, pressing him close to your heart to calm him down.
"they'll like you."
>you feel him press away from you and break the hug. With a nervous nod he steps forward into school for the first time.
>your heart starts beating wildly as you wave goodbye and close the door.
>he'll do fine.
>make lots of friends, you're sure.
>don't worry Celestia. He'll do fine.
>better, better just peak in before you go. just in case. To make sure he didn't forget anything!
>with a flap of your wings you fly over the school and peer in through one of the windows.
>inside you see two earth ponies and a unicorn filly talking with him and excitedly waving her hooves around before they all break out into laughter.
>yeah, he'll do great.

>you head back to the castle to take care of some paperwork.
>Luna has already gone to bed
>you instruct anon's favorite guard to pick him up from class later.
>wouldn't want to embarrass him in front of his new friends on his first day.
>no you'll do that on his second day, just to watch his cute little face turn red.
>you think about preparing something for when anon gets home but the cooks hung a "no princesses allowed" sign on the kitchen doors.
>after sending some letters you head over to anon's room. He sort of took over your bedroom after the first few nights.
>you look around the room and survey the mess front of you
>piles of clothes in a corner
>bed not made
>toys everywhere
>those empty ice cream buckets from that night you and Luna spent telling him scary stories.
>probably shouldn't have done that if the things Luna said about his dreams that night were true.
>you could probably have the cleaning staff fix all this...
>you get to work cleaning the mess as best you can.
>It's a lot of work.
>how does one little kid even make this much of a mess.
>you think back to this morning and realize he probably picked it up from you.
>years of staff to clean up after you would probably make you a little messy.
>once you finish picking up the last sock, putting away the last stuffed animal, and fixing the bed all you want to do is lay down and relax
>off in the distance you hear doors open and excited footsteps running closer
>"I'm home!"
>sigh
>you love being a mom.
