I flew in my Neo Metal form as fast as I could out of Scrapbrain Zone, Gale and Lisa behind me. "Dude slow down you're gonna hurt yourself!" I heard Gale shout. It was true, I was going faster than I should have been going, mainly due to me absorbing energy from the master emerald to go faster. But I had to go faster, I couldn't afford to miss this, not even for the end of the multiverse.
"Metal please slow down we can't keep up!" Lisa pleaded.
"NO!!! I can't miss this!" Panic evident in my voice. "I have to be there when it happens!"
"You'll make it just slow down!" They both yelled.
"NO!!!" I shot forward with a boost, leaving the two behind. "My wives are in labour for Christs sake!" Canterlot became visible in the distance. "Almost there, almost there, hang on Lulu and Dashie, I'm on my way."
Luna and Rainbow sat on hospital beds beside each other, sweating in pain as they approached the final stages of labour. Friends and family sat outside, waiting to see the new arrivals. Marx sat with a magazine on female skeletons, Author was watching the clock wondering where Metal was, Auldin and the Twins sat in their human forms, the mobians all sat beside each other, Nathan sat beside his children. The rest of the mane six and many of the night guard all sat in a line outside the door, as well as the Wonderbolts... And various other displaced of Author. Symbol and Roden were the ones delivering the foals.
Suddenly Metal flew in the door and rushed into the maternity ward. "I'm here! I'm here!" He came to a screeching halt and panted. "It's ok... I'm here... Just give me a second." He caught his breath and sat between the two mares. He held their hooves in his claws, a dark blue ring on one hand and a cyan one on the other. "How you two doing?" He asked extremely concerned.
Luna looked at him with a weak smile. "Better now that... You're here honey." Metal leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss.
"How you feeling Dashie?" He asked, turning to his other wife.
"What... The buck... Took you so long? You big... Dummy." She asked in a joking voice. Metal rolled his eyes and gave her a kiss. "It hurts like Tartarus by the way." Metal smiled.
"Well I've got something for that." He closed his eyes and they all glowed green slightly, the pain numbing a bit for the mares.
"Thanks sweetie." Both said, kissing his cheeks. Both then winced in pain. Symbol and Roden readied themselves to bring the foals into the world.
"I can see its head Luna, keep pushing." Symbol said as he looked to Roden who nodded. After a few more minutes of pushing the sound of foals crying could be heard. Metal released the mares hooves and slowly walked towards the two displacers that held foals wrapped in towels in their arms. "One filly..."
"... One Colt." They handed Metal his children and he held them in his arms, looking down at them stunned. One was a light blue Pegasus filly with a dark blue mane with a few white stripes in it. The other was a small black alicorn Colt with a short flowing purple mane that sparkled.
"They're... They're..." He began to choke up as he nuzzled them softly. "... perfect." He gave the foals to their mothers and sat with them, tears in all their eyes. As the filly opened her eyes and stared at Metal with curiosity, they found her eyes to be like Metals, except the black parts were white. Metal stared in shock, unable to fight back the tears as he kissed his child's forehead, earning a small giggle. Then the Colt opened his eyes and stared at Metal, his eyes being in the same condition except the red was blue.
They've got daddy's eyes." Both mares joked. Metal shook his head.
"S-Shut up." Metal looked to Roden. "You can start sending them in now."
Roden nodded. "I'll send them in small groups." Both Roden and Symbol walked out the door. Soon Gale, Lisa, Marx and Author walked in.
Lisa kneeled down by the Colt and tickled him with a tendril. "Oh my gosh they're adorable."
Gale sat down by the filly and tickled her with a claw. "Congratulations you three, they're beautiful."
"Thanks man." Metal said through a few sniffles. I actually have something to tell you." Lisa and Gale looked at him. "We were talking and... I-We, want you to be their godparents." Both looked at him with happy faces.
"We'd be honoured." Metal brought them into a big hug, until the door flew open and a blue blur shot into his arms.
"Daddy!" The blur faded into a tiny Metal Sonic.
"Hey there champ, where's mommy?" Metal asked. Just then a figure walked into the room.
"Sorry we're late dear, got caught up in the Death Egg."
"It's fine Samantha, I'm just glad you made it." Metal looked down to his first son. "You want to meet your brother and sister?"
"Yes please." The tiny robot said in an adorable voice. Metal chuckled and brought him over to the filly.
"This is Prism Dash." Rainbow smiled at the name, it was the name of her late mother. Metal then walked over to the Colt. "And this is Midnight Star." Luna nodded with a smile.
"And I'm Metix!" Exclaimed the tiny robot. Metal chuckled and hugged his son.
"Yes, yes you are son." A tear fell to the floor. "You're all my children..." A dark figure watched these events with a snarl. "...and I'll protect you all, even from the end of the multiverse."
