"It won't be that much longer little ones." Said Luna as laid on her bed feeling her foal gently move within her.

It had been months since the baby shower and Princess Luna was able to get thing prepared for day daughters arrived. She had put together a nursery and asked Twilight Sparkle to take for a while. Once she was in her final month of pregnancy, Luna's doctor had confined her to bed rest. Luna didn't argue and been held up in her room for four and half weeks as she continued to enjoy the sensation of three fillies move inside her womb. Luna suddenly felt an odd pain in her midriff. It only last for a couple minutes, but it was long enough to tell the moon princess that she was going into labor.

Luna called her guards to summon the doctor quickly. News of Luna being in labor soon reached Celestia, who jumped out of bed and rushed to her sister. After what seemed like an eternity, Luna's first foal was born. She could see that it was Apple Bloom. The reborn filly had taken on some of her new mother's features, like the wings and horn. She also had a similar coat and mane color to Luna's. The only thing betraying what Luna did, was Apple Bloom's former colors were supinated in a very unique way. This gave the moon princess the idea to name the former crusader 'Nebula'. The same thing happened to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. Their coats and manes had changed colors to match their mother's. For Scootaloo, her former colors occasionally shot through her mane and tail like stars, giving her the name of Star Shower, along with a horn. In Sweetie Belle, the colors moved and danced, thus giving the unicorn turned alicorn the name of Aurora.

Once everything was said and done with, Luna and her foals were left alone to rest. Luna was able to whisper a soft 'Thank You' to the former crusaders before gently falling asleep from exhaustion. As the newest mother slumbered, a single tear of joy rolled down Luna check while a small smile was on her lips.
