> be anon
> be married to Princess Luna
> currently sitting together in our study room
> "ANON! It's... I think it's time!"
"time for what?"
> "oh I don't know, maybe our foals to be born!"
suddenly realizing the current events "GAURD! GET THE DOCTOR NOW!"
> The gaurd doesn't even reply, he just knows what's happening
> I've been waiting for this time for nearly a year
> found out we were having twins a few months back
> a colt and a filly
> turns out that somehow man and mare are compatible in making children, though not entirely sure if it will be a saytr or pony
> me personally, I hope it's a pony
> Celestia was probably the most excited when we told everyone the news, excluding Ponk of course
"Where is that damned doctor at!?"
> "Anon, i-its.....it's only been a few minutes. The doc..... The doctor shall arrive soon.... Hopefully. "
> suddenly the doctor and a few nurses burst through the door
"Bout damn time!"
>> "I came as soon as I could sir, how long has she been in labor?" Asks the doctor who shall be named Tim
"Uh, I'm not sure but roughly ten to fifteen minutes."
> suddenly Luna cries out in pain, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I think.... they are...... coming out now!"
>> "Yes, it would seem so. Just push and breathe, push and breathe."
"You are doing great Luna, just hang in there, almost done."
> "AAHH! You will pay.... for this."
> with a loud cry of pain, the first foal is brought into the world
> It's a colt with a grey-ish white coat and dull yellow mane
> "Thats one out, and one to go." Says Tim as he hands (hooves? Hoofs?) over the crying foal to a nurse
> Luna starts having trouble at this point, the doctor and I both notice
"Luna are you ok? What's wrong!? Doc, do something!"
>> "Come on, hang in there until we get the second foal out of you, your highness. I see it coming now."
> And with yet another cry of pain the second foal is born
> Luna faints right after birthing the second foal, only there is something wrong
> gravely wrong

> It's then that I realize that our filly was stillborn
> She had a bright yellow coat with an orange mane
"M-may...may I have her doctor?"
>> "of course sir."
> It's a surreal moment when you hold something that should be alive but isn't
> The only thing I can compare it too is when you are holding a dead pet dog or cat
> but the major difference is when this "pet" is supposed to be your new born daughter
> they moved Luna into our room and onto the bed, cleaned her and our son when they did so
> I didn't know that at the time, I was sitting in a corner holding my daughter's body as if she were alive
> I was crying, but I didn't care
"Doctor, can you do me a favor?"
>> "yes, what is it?"
"Don't tell luna about our daughter, I want to be the one to break the news to her."
>> "If you wish to, I shall let you do so. I am terribly sorry about your loss."
> I don't even reply, I am too lost in my own world of sadness and hatred towards the world
> I try to think if this is just a dream, or some cruel prank by discord
> deep down I know it's real (but it was a dream!)
> a nurse interrupts my thoughts, "excuse me sir, Princess Celestia wishes to see you and your new family. What shall I tell her?"
"Let her in."
>> "Anon! I heard Luna had her fo..."
>her sentence ended abruptly as she noticed how I looked and the fact that I was holding a dead foal
>> "Anon, I'm so sorry. What of the other foal? The colt?"
"Alive, with Luna. She fainted after giving birth. In our room I think."
>> "Does she know?"
"No, I want to be the one to tell her though. But how do I tell her? Hey honey, you know how you had twins? Well we don't have twins anymore cause our daughter is dead!"
> to this I received a slap that I deserved
>> "ANON! I am ashamed of you, I know this is a sad time with the death of your daughter, but you shouldn't go around making it worse!"
> "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Princess Luna is awake and she is asking for you two and your daughter."

"Tell her we will be in there in a few minutes"
>> "Anon, you must tell Luna the truth but you can't be so blunt about it. She would be devastated even more about this."
"You're right, I'm sorry for what I said. Now let's go break the bad news to her."
> I got up and started walking to the door that is to my bedroom where Luna and our colt were
> I painfully reached for the door handle; it wasn't a physical pain, but a pain to the feels
> I slowly turned the handle and opened the door.
> as I slowly walked inside the room, Celestia passed me as she went straight to Luna's side
> luna look very tired, as would anyone who gave birth to twins
> our colt was busy nursing on one of Luna's teats
> she looked up at us as we entered, and she immediately locked eyes with me
>one glance towards our daughter told her everything
> It broke my heart to see her break into violent wailing cries of anguish and knowing that there wasn't much I could do.

this is where the dream ended.
