Snuggled in a blanket, she looked up with bright eyes full of wonder.

“Oh, look at her. Ain’t she precious?” she heard a voice say. Her eyes blurred a bit before she focused on the object that had spoken. A mare, with deep violet eyes, pink fur, and dim blue hair looked back.

“Come here, Blitz!” the mare gestured towards another figure to the right. The figure was a stallion, with bright yellow eyes and a light violet coat of fur. His mane was a bit frazzled, no doubt from a recent and messy trip, and yet it still proudly shone the vibrant colors of the rainbow. He looked in along with the mare to see her coo, looking at them both with more wonder.

“My Dash…My beautiful Rainbow Dash…” was all the stallion would say.

“It’s a beautiful girl. Sorry, by the way…” the mare cheekily apologized. The stallion chuckled.

“I was never really serious about that. I can see she is still destined for greatness.”

“Mister Rainbow Blitz? Miss Firefly? Before we let you two go with the baby, I will need her name so as she can be registered and we can give you her documentation,” a nurse walked in, shuffling her glasses until they fitted comfortably on her nose.

“Her name is Rainbow Dash, and can we stay for a bit longer? It was a rather tiring ordeal to get here in time,” Rainbow Blitz asked.

“Of course! Take as much time as you need! I will be at the center desk if you have any more questions. The paperwork will be ready there. Have a nice Hearth’s Warming Eve. She’s a nice present to be given this year, I would say,” the nurse smiled. With that, she walked out of the room to let the two couple rest.

“Look at her. The perfect little present for us…” she whispered. Blitz leaned in to see his little Dash yawn and rest her head on Firefly’s chest, with a small little smile on her face.

High above the sleeping city of Cloudsdale, a fierce battle was taking place. Two dragons were locking talons and snarling at each other as they scratched at each other, intending to bring each other down. Both dragons held very precious and sacred items in their claws, although their intent for these items were nothing but good for the items. Between them were a clutch of eggs, stolen from a nest, all too ready to be eaten by these dragons. As for sharing though, they feuded over each and every one of the eggs.

One dragon got the better look against his enemy and managed to score a hit on its right eye. The other dragon screeched in pain, and in counterattacking, one egg dropped out of its clutch of few in its right back paw, but neither of them had noticed.

Sailing through the air, the egg had plummeted down into the city of Cloudsdale.

“Blitz, you are out of shape. That is what you’re going to tell me every time you tell this story,” Firefly stated. She looked towards her husband to see him shift his eyes in confusion.

“Honey, I’m not out of shape. What makes you say that?” he asked.

“You were huffing and puffing and almost fainted at the front of the hospital. I know how much weight you carry in your training, and everyone else probably knows as well. Are you really going to insinuate that I weigh more than your wing weights?” Firefly smirked.

“Uh, it was the baby! Yeah, Dashie is a little on the heavy side, right? That’s why it was more difficult to carry you than I thought!” Blitz looked left and right to avoid Firefly’s gaze while chuckling nervously.

“…Are you implying my daughter is fat, Blitz?”

“wh-What? No! No, that’s not what I… I mean…”

“Relax Blitz,” Firefly chuckled. “I’m just having a bit of fun. You’re cute when you’re flustered, remember?” she smiled.

“Hmmph. Yeah, how could I forget, I have you reminding me every time,” Blitz tried to look serious, but even he couldn’t hold back a grin.

“And don’t you forget that either!” Firefly turned around to smile before flying in front of Blitz. She slowed down to let him catch up.

The couple were flying back from the hospital in the small but bright light of the moon. They knew the way, and before long they arrived at their house. Firefly trotted in first, their little Dash sleeping soundly in a blanket wrapped snuggly around her chest.

“Oh, Blitz, could you by chance go grab the mail and make some water? I forgot to check the mailbox today and I would like some cold water, if you don’t mind. Here’s my purse, it has the canteen in-”

A small object landed into the purse, in front of both Blitz and Firefly.

“What was that?” Blitz asked. He dug his hoof into the purse to feel around for anything strange. Okay, soft and flexible, that’s the canteen. Hard and bendy, that’s the papers. Hard and…ball shaped? Blitz pulled out the foreign object and held it curiously in his hooves.

“An egg?” Firefly asked. She looked in bewilderment as she tried to comprehend how an egg could suddenly fall from the sky.

“It’s no chicken egg; It’s too big. Way too big. I might have to ask Scrolls about it tomorrow,” Blitz said, studying it.

“So…we should keep it?” Firefly asked. Rainbow Dash shuffled a bit in her blanket, but didn’t make a sound.

“I don’t see why not. We can keep it warm just in case another, uh, freakishly large bird comes here and asks about it,” Blitz was still bewildered at the size of the egg. And for that matter, how did it manage to fit in her purse so easily!?

“Well, if you say so, but since it’s your idea, you can keep it warm,” Firefly said.

“What? Me!? Why me? It’s usually the mother that keeps the egg warm!” Blitz whispered harshly, trying not to wake the baby.

“Then welcome to the first day of being a mother. Now, let’s head to bed, and we can figure out how to keep it warm.”

“So I come back before the party, and he’s still there, rolling it around. I ask, ‘Hey Scrolls, got any leads on leading it around?’ and he goes ‘Well, if you want to actually know instead of joking like an IN-SU-fer-a-BLE idiot, yes, I did find out what type of egg this is’.

Standing around Blitz was a group of stallions all from his work. They had all been invited for the Hearth’s Warming party hosted by the couple of Rainbow Blitz and Firefly. It was the best time to reveal little Rainbow Dash to their friends and family.

And also to reveal something positively interesting to the couple, and most likely their friends.

“It’s a dragon egg. I know, I couldn’t believe it myself until he told me the fifth time on his honor!”

“It’s true. The egg Blitz gave me is a dragon egg, and it’s rather interesting that it fell from the sky like he said. Also,I do not speak like that!” one of the stallions piped up.

“That might be because of the two dragons fighting last night. Oh, and yes you do, dear,” A mare walked up to the group, with bright blue fur and a long but beautifully brushed pink mane. The stallion, a cream yellow Pegasus with curly brown braids, sulked in defeat.

“Wait, dragons were fighting last night? Where?” Blitz asked.

“Somewhere above Cloudsdale, one of my reporters said. Unfortunately, both of them suffered wing injuries and, um… plummeted to their deaths. Around the area were a couple of smashed eggs as well…”

The group audibly hissed in sympathy. The mare turned to Blitz. “What are we going to do with the egg now?”

“Well I guess, if there’s no more options, my little Dashie gets a dragon sibling. In that case, I’ll have to go report it at the courthouse. Speaking of Dashie, how has Fluttershy reacted to her?”

“She was very curious. They’re cuddling and sleeping together in the crib though, so I think they are already good friends!” Scrolls replied

“Wait, they’re cuddling? Oh, I have to go grab a camera. This will be excellent to embarrass her with in her later years!” Blitz trotted out of the group of friends, rushing upstairs to find his camera.

“IT’S HATCHING!” someone cried. The group turned to another mare, rushing up to the group. “Where’s that blasted Blitz!? The egg is about to hatch!”

All members of the party stood back in a circle as the small object that had become the second most interesting thing in the room.

The first was Firefly hyperventilating.

“I don’t know how to take care of a baby dragon! Oh, I don’t know if we can take care of two kids at the same time; we only planned for one! Blitz, what are we gonna do? Blitz? RAINBOW BLIIIIIIIITZ!”

Most ponies don’t know it, but you can gain some interesting powers when you become a married couple. The phenomenon had baffled scientists and magicians for centuries, with tests coming up with inconclusive evidence and research.

One of these powers involve super speed. As a father, your reaction time is increased, so as to save the baby when it is in harm or to help your wife when she is having a mental breakdown and/or about to do something rash.

However, the most powerful use of this power is the strange and uncommon “Your wife is yelling your name in an angry manner” super speed.

Out of literal nowhere Blitz materialized with a camera on his neck, with a wide and happy smile and eyes that told only the most astute of ponies “ohcelestiashesmaditsokayitsokayjustdon’tscrewanythingup!”

“Yeees honey?” Blitz asked. Firefly glared at him while pointing with her right hoof towards the egg. “Huh, oh cool the egg’s hatching.”

Blitz’s eyes widened.

“The egg is hatching!” With a swoop, he embraced Firefly, shoving her muzzle right into his chest. “It’s going to be okay honey. You will be the greatest dragon mother ever. We can do this. I know we can! We’re a team honey, and we will stick with each other no matter what!”

Firefly shoved herself out of the embrace and held Blitz’s head at eye level. “Blitz, it was cute when you did the speech last night, but that was when I needed you to say something encouraging. Right now I need you to tell me how we are going to take care of a baby dragon!” she yelled.

“Shh! Quiet! It’s about to come out!” one of the co-workers shushed the couple as the egg kept shaking and stirring with each crack. The room went silent as the egg suddenly stopped moving. A small purple hand slowly pushed its way out of the egg, taking a large portion of the eggshell with it.

A mare whispered in Firefly’s ear, and she nodded back, moving through the crowd to go upstairs. Blitz didn’t notice as he watched the egg slowly break apart to open up the little dragon inside.

Despite his knowledge of dragons as being fierce and scary creatures, Blitz couldn’t help but go “aww” at the sight of the little dragon. It looked just as much as a baby purple pony, with round green bumps growing out the top of his head.

Blitz slowly trotted up to the baby dragon. “Hey little guy. Look at me,” he whispered. The moment felt like it demanded relative silence, and so the party tried to make as little noise as possible.

The dragon looked up at Blitz, and the stallion had a sense of déjà vu as it looked at him with wonder.

“Hey little buddy. I’m your daddy…” Rainbow Blitz felt a bump to his right, and saw his wife holding their daughter.

“Take him out of the egg. I want to see something,” she whispered. Blitz gave her a look of confusion before he walked close to the egg. He slowly picked up the baby dragon by the waist and dropped him gently near Firefly. She dropped Rainbow Dash near the baby dragon. Some of the party members gasped.

“I just want to see something,” Firefly told her guests. She leaned in closely as the two babies slowly shuffled to each other. Rainbow Dash was the first to make contact as she leaned out with her hoof to touch the dragon’s paw. At this, the dragon held the hoof up, looking at Rainbow Dash with a smile. With a giggle, the couple’s daughter nuzzled the baby dragon, and the whole party cheered.

“Heh, I guess that answers that question,” Firefly said as she nuzzled her husband.

“What question was that?” he asked.

“Whether the dragon would try to eat our daughter or not.”

She felt her headrest tighten before it loosened back. “Please don’t play with our daughter like that, dear. I’m fond of her, and I’m rather fond of her being alive and not eaten,” Blitz replied with a smirk, although he still kept on glancing at the two babies with more than a little worry than necessary.

“Oh, hush. Let’s take the babies up to their room. I’m sure there’s enough space for the two of them in the crib.”

“Hey, nice job on becoming parents of two now!” Scrolls walked up to them with his wife, who had a sleepy baby Fluttershy on her back.

“Well, it was no problem,” Firefly replied with a smile.

“No kidding. We didn’t do anything; It literally was no problem!” Blitz chimed in.

“…Blitz?” Firefly looked to Blitz with her eyes close and her smile wide. To anyone, this was just a happy expression. To Blitz though, this expression conveyed a message.

“Oh dear husband of mine, would you kindly shut up?”

Blitz nodded in understanding, gulping in fear of that expression.

“…well then. We best be off. Don’t forget about our daughter’s playdate. Congratulations again on taking a baby dragon for another child. That’s going to be a difficult one in court huh?” Scrolls laughed. Blitz started to laugh as well.

“Heh, yeah!...wait what?”
