This story will occasionally switch between Flurry Heart and Shimmering Glow's point of views.

I happened to be returning from my night date with Shimmering Glow at the bar at the Crystal Empire. We've been dating for almost half a year, and if everything goes well for some time we're going to get married. Shimmering happens to be five years younger than me, but that doesn't get the way into our romance.

We were just arriving at the doorstep of our palace when our parents were at the door, with King Sombra and Madam Radiant Hope looking in a hurry as if they're leaving for somewhere.

"Are you all going anywhere?" Shimmering asked.

"Yes, my dear. In fact we are going to catch tonight's train to get to Mauritania!" Madam Radiant Hope replied.

"I thought only Mom and Dad were going?" I asked.

"They um… wanted to accompany us. The travel agency happened to have an offer on travel tickets, and they were interested, too!" Dad explained.

"Shining's right," King Sombra agreed. "Now if you excuse us, if we're standing here talking to you for another minute I fear the train's arriving at any minute, and we couldn't be boarding it on time."

"We gotta go! See you guys in a week!" bade Mom to us. "Take care of the castle and the town with your siblings when we're gone, and I hope you both enjoyed your night! Oh, and if you need anything, ask Sunburst and Starlight!"

"We will!" we replied as they left hurriedly.

---

Not long after they have left we both gathered in Flurry Heart's room, settling ourselves.

"Ah, a tiring day, isn't it?" I asked Flurry as I sat on her bed.

"You could say that," she replied. "Wanna have some candies?" She dug into a drawer and produced a bag of them. "I got them from some fillies at a fair in Ponyville a month ago. They're quite tasty, you should try them!"

"Are they?" I pondered.

"Of course they are! I've been taking one candy every few days!" she then levitated a candy to me. "Try it, you'll love it!"

After a few seconds of hesitation I took over the candy and put it into my mouth. Unsurprisingly they're the usual candy taste they had every day.

"They're just normal," I remarked. "No specialties within them."

"Hmm, you could say that. I bought them for charity!"

"Oh, you're too kind, Flurry!" I chuckled. I loved Flurry's personality. Every time she's with me she's never failed to disappoint me. Every date we made, I was attracted to her compassion she treated her subjects. For tonight, I wouldn't be expecting a bit of a surprise.

"Flurry," I spoke to her. "All the while we've been together, I loved the way you treated the subjects, regardless their status."

"Oh, I love to hear that. Thanks for complimenting," she replied happily. "And I hope you're keeping your good grace when you're with me."

"Maybe a kiss for a reward?"

"Sure thing, you handsome little youngster."

Instantly we locked our mouths together as we fell onto the bed. Every time we kissed I always had that feeling of ecstasy, making me feel everything in my life was complete.

"Shimmering, you know what?" Flurry got up after a minute of kissing. "I'm feeling hot tonight."

"For real?"

"Yeah so," she paused as she locked her room door. "Wanna have some fun tonight?"

"'Fun'? What 'fun'?" I asked, bewildered by what she meant.

"You know what couples often do when they feel high?" As she said, she produced herself a cloud from her magic, and then she laid on it, her body facing down. She then raised her tail such that her buttocks were exposed. "Now that our parents are away, we could do this safely, and our siblings won't know what we're doing!"

I began blushing as I looked at her butt. "W-w-wait a minute… Does that mean you want me t-t-to have s-s-s-sex with y-y-you?" I stuttered. "B-b-but that's unexp-p-p-pected, and I'm still young for th-th-that! We aren't married yet, either!" As I spoke, I could feel my private part rising from excitement.

"Sex before we're married is fine as long as we've been loyal and faithful to each other," she replied sensually. "Now come on, don't be shy. I understand this is your first time and you're insecure about this."

Before I could speak further her horn started to glow. The next thing I remember was that I slowly walked towards her, and then I leapt onto her body, and also inserting my thing into hers. It fitted perfectly, and immediately I was in extreme ecstasy, as I felt myself pushing back and forth into her butt.

"Uh, oh, ah…" I could hear her moaning with pleasure, sexual pleasure. "Harder, please…"

"Like… this?" I asked, shoving my thing harder.

"Yes… that's right… keep it up…"

"Will you… be… alright?"

"Don't worry about me… Just… enjoy this fun… ah…"

As time passed, our motions got harder and faster. After some time it died down, and with the sexual pleasure we had gone, I felt my thing started to contract, and I gradually left her body and fell to the floor on my back, with sticky stuff coming out from it. As for her, she leapt from the cloud and sprawled on the floor.

"Uh-huh…" I panted. "So you got me after all…"

"Now you know how fun sex is, huh?" she asked me tiringly but lovingly. "Shall we try it again tomorrow?"

"We'll see about that. For now I think I got the hang of it…" Then I remembered something. "But hey, now that we had sex, and what comes next is that you might be having a baby! Are you gonna be worried about that?"

"Oh, a baby?" Flurry asked as she approached me, helping me up. "Like I said, Shimmy, if we're loyal and faithful to each other, even a baby coming for us won't be a problem, because it rightfully belongs to us, and not from an unfortunate rape victim or a prostitute. And you know what my mother said, as the Princess of Love, when there's love, there's new lives coming! That's an endless cycle."

"So you mean if we're having a baby, it won't be a problem?" I asked. "And… what about the others? What if they knew we already had sex before we're married?"

"Hush, dear. We'll find the right moment to tell them the news, if that's possible. Now, let's get some good rest, then we'll decide more tomorrow."

"Alright, good night…" I said as I drifted into drowsiness, exhausted from all the sexual pleasure I had.

Meanwhile, on the train to Mauritania…

Mom, Dad and Prince Shining Armor were asleep while Princess Cadance was still awake, looking outside the night scenery. Suddenly, her horn lit up.

"Oh, they're doing it," she whispered.

"Cadance?" Prince Shining moaned, having heard her whispers. "What was that?"

Princess Cadance hushed him. "It's something loving happening between our kids."

"Huh?"

"Shh, don't worry. We'll find that out next week."

---

It was a really great sleep we had. I cuddled Shimmering within my hooves. He looked like a little brother to me, always needing to learn everything new. No, I don't dislike or ditch Paladin Knight either. He's a good brother, but he just gets over-confident.

I was glancing at my sleeping lover, stroking his smooth hair, when I heard a knock at the door.

"Flurry Heart? Shimmering Glow? Are you two awake?" Dark Glare's voice called from the outside.

"Oh, bother. Hang on, your sister's calling," I whispered to him as I got down from my bed. "I'm coming!" I unlocked the door, and standing beside Dark was Madam Starlight Glimmer.

"Ah, good morning, you're awake!" greeted Madam Starlight, then she looked over to see a still snoring Shimmering. "Oh, he's still asleep. Never mind, we're here to inform you that breakfast is ready. I'll be off to prepare his share. You'll take care of the rest, Dark!"

"Okay!" As Madam Starlight left, Dark turned to me. "I see you two had a good night's rest, huh?" she asked. "How was your date, and the fun you guys had last night?"

"Yeah, it all went well… wait a sec, did you really know what we did last-"

"Oh, geez," she chuckled. "Paladin and I were strolling through the corridors last night and we somehow heard moaning sounds when we went by your room."

Uh-oh, looks like we're busted. If Paladin or Dark informed any one of the others, we'll be toast.

"Oh, come on, don't be scared! I won't be telling anypony about it!" Dark laughed as if she had read my mind. "I've even shushed Paladin too when he got surprised knowing you two had sex. I'll let you two guys decide when to tell the episode."

"Oh, gosh, thanks, Dark Glare." I hugged her. "You're my best friend and also my best future sister-in-law I've had!"

"Heh-heh, don't mention it!" she giggled as she returned the hug. "After all I'm happy you two loved each other."

"I'm glad you've taken care well of Paladin, too," I smiled at her. "He's learning to pick responsibilities from you."

For every night in one whole week, Shimmering and I had our late night sex. Every sex we had was ecstatic, as my tummy felt the excitement he gave me. How I actually wished it could go on forever, like being in heaven. We even tried different sex poses as well. So long as Dark Glare helped to keep our secret, we were able to do it without worries.

And it was the last night we had our sex, our parents came back the next morning.

"Welcome back, Mom and Dad," I said, hugging them.

"We're glad you're alright," Mom replied. "Starlight, how's everything?"

"Oh, yes, everypony behaved," she replied. "No trouble from them."

"Very well," remarked King Sombra. "Everything is like clockwork."

And as our conversation went on no one seemed to talk about the fun we had in the past week, which gave us some relief. But what felt weird to me was that Mom would glance and smile at me occasionally for the rest of the day when we cross each other. Well, maybe she's happy that we've kept everything in order, but who knows…

---

I left my room after getting myself up and groomed, and headed towards Flurry's. Most of the time both of us would get up at the same time, sometimes one of us would be earlier than usual. But today, she was later than me.

I went up to her room door and knocked three times. "Flurry? Are you up yet?"

"Oh, Shimmering Glow, there you are," came her reply. "Come in, the door isn't locked."

I opened, and there she was, lying on her bed, and it appeared to me that she was quite ill.

"Flurry, are you okay? You look like you're ill," I said, feeling concerned.

"Yes, I am," she replied rather weakly, but she was able to summon her courage to get up. "I don't think it's got anything to do with what I ate last night, I feel dizzy too."

I felt her all over. Her body was a little warmer than usual. "Poor thing. You want to meet your parents?"

"I would, if I could…" she struggled to get down from her bed and stand. "It's okay, I could stand. Just… walk beside me, in case… you know…"

"Glad you still have the strength," I sighed. As we walked, I told her. "If you ever feel like throwing up, I got it covered."

It took us less than five minutes to get to the throne chamber to meet our parents, but it seemed like an hour for Flurry. But we finally still reached, and they were chatting casually.

"There you two are!" Mistral Violet greeted us. "Goodness, Big Sister! Are you okay?"

"I'm… okay," she answered weakly. "I'm pretty sure… it wasn't the food I had last night…"

"Oh dear, you look terrible!" Mom blurted. "I think we should get the doctors later. If food isn't what's causing you to-"

"Hold it," Princess Cadance suddenly interrupted. After looking for a moment at Flurry, she asked a question.

"Flurry Heart, are you getting pregnant?"

That left everyone's jaws wide open.

"Pregnant? But… how could somepony get sick before she's pregnant?" my elder quint brother asked.

"It's a true fact, because your body is making some changes to let you carry a baby nicely, and you might feel sick from the changing," Princess Cadance explained.

"If that's the case," Prince Shining asked, then he spoke sternly. "Then what did you two actually do when we're away?"

"Um, well, I, uh-"

"If you're putting poison just to harm your lover, I'm gonna smite you!" Dad was looking cross too.

"Father, Prince Shining, please calm down," Sis told them. "Yes, they indeed had fun while you're away, but not what you're expecting."

"So what exactly did they do?" Uncle Sunburst asked. "If it's not anything illegal?"

"I guess we'll have to see what they did last week," Prince Shining said. "In case they're really lying…"

"Dark Glare was right, Dad," Flurry spoke. "Yes, we had sex for a week."

"You WHAT!?" Mom shouted, and she turned to me angrily. "Shimmering Glow, you…"

"Now hold on, Radiant," Prince Shining ordered. "Let me check their memories first before you do your job…" He turned to me. "So if you're the one responsible for banging my daughter, I'll see if your sister is correct…"

"It's true, Sire, true…" But Prince Shining already cast a spell upon me to obtain my memory, and then Flurry's, and he projected our memories together onto the space behind us. True enough, it was showing everything from our points of views simultaneously on the night they left, and on the night of our first ever sex. Everyone stood wide-eyed and wide-mouthed as they saw our kissing, then Flurry showing her butt, and me getting onto her body with my thing inserted into her. And some of us had to close the eyes of my quints siblings, as they hadn't really learnt the concept of sex yet.

"Well, that's about it," Prince Shining said when the memory projection ended when we began to sleep after our sex. "Looks like you guys were right after all."

"Shimmering Glow, I can't believe you did something… something… dis… dis…" Mom stammered, with her eyes in fury.

"Disgraceful?" Dad finished for her.

"Not just that, it's… it's…"

"Oh, Radiant, everypony, please don't get carried away," suddenly, Princess Cadance spoke. "I believe they aren't really guilty, for them to have sex before their marriage in fall."

"Huh?" Mom and Dad asked, bewildered.

"What do you mean by that, Mommy? I thought that was a taboo," Mistral asked.

"Now then, I understand Flurry Heart's feelings to Shimmering Glow, and his feelings to her as well. Since both were loyal to each other, and their love was uninterrupted, what they did has taken their relationship to a whole new level. It's no longer the taboo everypony used to think in the olden days."

"So that means… they won't get punished?" my middle quint sister asked.

"In this case, we understand each other well, thanks to the love and relationship our children made. Sombra and Radiant, I'm sure you realize the love your children have to our own, too?"

"I suppose you're right now," Mom said, this time her tone softened. She then approached me. "Hey Shimmering, I'm sorry for giving you a… scare. What Princess Cadance said really made me think again. So, congrats to you two."

"Uh, it's alright, Mom," I looked at Dad and Prince Shining, who were coming to me. I could see in their eyes, were a flaming glow.

"Shimmering, you…" Prince Shining paused for a moment. I was expecting a harsh lecture but then, he changed his tone. "… did a great job. Congratulations, kid. And Flurry, congrats on being pregnant."

"Thanks, Daddy," Flurry replied. "Mom, if there's the responsibility on raising a family together, would you two…"

"Of course, we're happy to help, dear," Princess Cadance replied. "Your relationship was worth it, now it's time to get prepared more for the wedding."

"Hey bro, bravo," Paladin Knight hugged me. "I've got some inspiration now. I can't wait to have a family with Dark soon."

"You will, dude," I said and I looked at Sis. She winked at us, signaling a good job.

"I'm pretty sure your aunt, your cousin and her friends will have mixed emotions about the news," Madam Starlight told Flurry. "She'll be surprised, but soon she'll be glad."

"Yeah," Flurry replied. "However right now I don't wish to announce the pregnancy to our subjects first. We'll have a scan to confirm the sex of our baby, then we'll ring the bells." She stroked her belly.

"I wish your pregnancy will be a good one," Mistral said to her. "I'm sorry you were scared at the expected predicament, but keep up with the relationship," she told me. "Not long after that, Solar Shine and I will be doing the same thing…"

"Heh-heh, whatever you say, Mistral," said Solar Shine as he blushed.

"Heh, thanks." I glanced at Flurry, who smiled back at me. It was well for us.

"Now all of you don't celebrate first," Princess Cadance suddenly announced. "Flurry, we need to double-check if you're really pregnant. I have a pregnancy test kit in my room, so why don't you go there and check it out if you're really pregnant?"

---

"… I hope you and your friends could come visit us and have a feel of my baby soon. Yours sincerely, Flurry Heart." I finished the letter written for Melody Aurora. "There, we'll mail it tomorrow."

"Nice," Shimmering replied. "Now, if that's possible, could we have a night together here?"

"Sure! This morning I felt dizzy but now, I somehow felt more or less better after telling the truth." I rolled up the letter, tied with the royal ribbon and went towards my bed where he was waiting. "Let's cuddle together. You're a nice pony to cuddle."

"Same to you," he replied, and we dozed off together. Now we had made an important milestone in our romance, but what's going to happen in a few months would be more than a surprise…
