Chapter 4

When they arrived at Canterlot Castle, Luna and Steed went up to Luna's room. This was the first time Steed had ever been in Luna's private chambers, and he liked it. She had a large desk with four chairs, a queen sized (or shall we say princess sized) water bed. There was a huge flat-screen television, with many different game console and cases next to it. Luna had a big walk in closet and a person hallway into the library. Steed was very impressed on how the princess kept the whole room clean and organized. "Quite the room you've got here Luna." "Thanks. Hey, do you mind going and getting us drinks from the kitchen? One of the guards can show you the way." "No problem, anything else that you need?" "A ginger ale would also be nice." When Steed had left, Luna bolted for the bathroom. Her stomach had been bothering her since they got on the train.

Steed didn't return for another half hour because he was determined to find his way back alone. He did, but Luna had gotten sick twice while waiting for him. When he arrived, he quickly handed her the ginger ale and sent for Celestia. "No, no, I don't need Tia's help. I'm quite alright." "You sure? You don't look so good." "Yes. I don't want Tia making things worse." Then Steed helped her into bed, and went downstairs to make her a bowl of soup. It was a family recipe his mother taught him, so he figured it might help. While Steed was cooking, Luna started to wonder. "What if I'm, what if I'm pregnant?!" She then hurried into the bathroom. A few minutes later she gasped. Then she looked through phone books and all over the internet. Luna wanted the best doctor she could find. If she was really pregnant, she wanted the most professional pony telling her.

The next morning, she sent Steed out to get many items. Because she was away in the Crystal Empire for her birthday, she was celebrating it in a few days. While Steed was shopping, Luna was at the doctor's office, waiting for Dr. Leone. When it was her turn to see the doctor, he first gave her a small check-up. Then, some nurses helped her take a few tests, and it was true. Luna was pregnant. "Would you like to know zee gender, your highness?" "Please." Then the nurses show her to a room and Luna was told that the next heir to the throne will be a prince. Luna gasped. She wanted it to be a girl so badly. Then she did the un-think able. Luna cast a gender changing spell upon her stomach, and asked the doctor to look again. This time, the baby was a girl, and Steed would never know that it should have been a prince.
