Next morning in Canterlot palace throne room, Celestia had asked Palutena to cover the day court, so she was sitting and watching the proceedings with a bored expression on her face.

“Next, Lord Sugar Sweets!” Exclaimed an announcer,

“Where is the Princess!? Who are you!?” Sugar Sweets demanded, Palutena looked him over with disinterest,

“Celestia is not here. I am filling in for her..” she stated disinterestedly,

“Filling in!? This isn’t something any foal can do!” Sugar Sweets interrupted her, he was so busy ranting, that he didn’t notice the aura of light had started spilling out of Palutena in response to her rage nor the guards and other nobles backing away in fear, she felt her eyebrow twitching at the sheer stupidity of the guy. After a couple more minutes of his self entitled rant, she stood up, flared her wings and glared down at the idiot that had kindled her wrath, Silence! she shouted in the royal canterlot voice knocking down Sugar Sweets he tried to get back up but the residual shaking of the room made him lose balance and fall down, Once he gathered his wits he turned to glare at Palutena, but what he saw froze him in fear, the light rippled off of her and the magical pressure was sending tremors through the ground. A pipe organ began to play music out of thin air as she descended down the dais with deliberate slowness, her aura flaring brightly,

“You Dare Insult Me!? You insignificant mortal whelp! Beg for forgiveness, kneel and repent! I’ll give you till the count of three!” she demanded sneeringly,

She lifted her forehooves bringing them close together pointed in opposite directions, a ball of light formed between her hooves,

“One!” she called out,

Palutena twisted her forehooves so they were facing opposite their original directions, her eyes started glowing brightly,

“Two!” she declared

Celestia teleported in, in a panic and galloped over to Palutena.
“Calm down, Palu, he’s not worth it! Think of the foals!” Celestia urged as she embraced me and stroked Palutena's mane in an attempt to pacify her. When she saw it wasn’t working, Celestia kissed her​ on the lips. This provided enough of a distraction for the music and the spell she was casting to fizzle out as she embraced Celestia.

And then it struck her, I almost killed that pony, and for what? Saying I’m unqualified? What would have happened if Celestia hadn’t interfered!? It was then that she broke down in tears and dove into Celestia’s embrace, Palutena was so busy crying she didn’t notice Celestia turn towards the ponies still at the other side of the room, glaring, “Which of you caused this incident,” Celestia demanded, and as one everypony and guard immediately pointed to the frozen in the headlights Sugar Sweets, whom had just barely escaped with his life, “Sugar Sweets, do you know how close you came to being annihilated?” Celestia asked and he slowly nodded his head.

“Palutena, I am sorry for putting you through this,” Celestia said as she stroked my mane.

“Putting her through this what about us!? We nearly died!” said a noble with a foppish voice,

Celestia groaned,

“Blue Blood, that spell she was casting was created specifically to avoid collateral casualties. It only attacks those who the caster knows in their heart is the enemy, it won't hurt allies and given its large area of effect no one could hope to escape it, so shut up or you may end up dying the next time she casts the spell and actually finishes it.” Celestia explained in a deadpan tone,

“I am sorry about my great nephew, and I wanted to surprise you, but I guess you gave me a surprise.” Celestia said as Palutena let out a rueful chuckle, and she let go of me. She opened her eyes, only to see Celestia bowed before her and held a ring in her magic, “Palutena, goddess of light, will you do me the great honour of becoming your husband,” Fresh tears welled up in Palutena's eyes as she dove into Celestia’s embrace again “Yes! I will be your wife!” Celestia placed the ring on Palutena's horn and kissed her.

“I love you ‘Tia!” she said as she nuzzled her,

“I love you too, Palu!” Celestia said as she held Palutena,

“What!? This is unnatural, two mares can’t love each other! What about the line of succession?” Blue Blood exclaimed!

“Leave Blue Blood, before I end you myself!” Celestia growled,

“No, hold on ‘Tia. Dear nephew in law, if you are worried about succession or the royal line continuing, fear no longer, you see in my womb I carry Celestia’s foals. The line will continue in the astronomically miniscule event that me and ‘Tia die. And if, heavens forbid, that we die before they are old enough, we know ponies who would likely jump at the chance to raise two little children of two goddesses. Now run along.” Palutena explained with a smile, and a sweet voice with a deadly undertone to her explanation. Blueblood ran off, as her ears twitched and turned to pick up on the sound of flames behind me, Palutena turned around in time to see a scroll disappear.

“I just sent word to Twilight about our engagement and your pregnancy as she deserves to know.” Celestia said trotting up to me and giving me a nuzzle,

“Are you okay?” She asked Palutena, her voice tinged with concern,

“I am fine 'Tia, I am just a little shaken by what I almost did. I don't think me doing day court while I'm this hormonally unbalanced is a good idea.” Palutena replied wearily. “Speaking of Twilight, I would like to adopt her officially, if you are okay with that?” she asked still leaning into Celestia's embrace.

“Of course I am okay with adopting her,” Celestia replied with a smile, “she has been like the daughter I never had, till now. Though I would like to know, what brought on this decision?” she asked,

“I found out how her parents died, I am feeling responsible, if I hadn't existed…”

“Hush my love, you don't have to feel responsible for something decided by others,” Celestia consoled,

“ Logically I know that, but I can't shake that I share blame, if only indirectly. Also, I caught her sleep talking,” Palutena started to tear up and choke on her words, “ she called me Mommy!” she wailed as she grabbed hold of Celestia again, tears pouring down her cheeks, Celestia wrapping her up in her forelegs and wings comforting Palutena.

In the dark deep underground in an unknown location sat a figure on a dark throne, “So Palutena is getting married to Celestia? I’ll make sure it’ll be a wedding she’ll soon never forget.” A distinctly feminine voice contemplated before cackling evilly.

A few hours had passed and Palutena was getting bored, Celestia took over the day court, to many noble’s profound relief and she was currently wandering the halls, when she ran into Luna. “Hello Luna, how are you this fine evening?” Palutena greeted, Luna turned around she looked her over and then spotted the ring on her horn, and Luna let out a squeal of excitement, leant forward and prepared to pounce,

She isn't? She wouldn't! Luna pounced at me, Palutena caught her in my magic just before she hit her and sighed, “Luna, I’m pregnant, please don't pounce on me!” she reprimanded her, as she lowered her down.

“Eeeee, you're pregnant? And engaged to 'Tia!?” Luna cheered, then her face brightened as a realisation hit her, “I get to be an aunt!” Luna exclaimed, grabbing my forehooves and jumping up and down excitedly

“Y-y-yes, Luna, stop shaking me!” Palutena demanded, Luna stopped and hugged her close, gasping, “I also get a new sister! We could braid each other’s tails gossip and go to the spa together! Oh and shopping, we remember your dress got ruined!”

“Whoa! Slow down Luna, how about we just go to the spa, don't want to run out of activities do we? Plus, I’d rather relax right now,” she asked, hoping to stave off the girly overkill.

“No, you're correct, I apologise for getting over excited.” Luna wilted, Palutena sighed and decided to throw her a bone, “come along sister, I am sure we both could do with some R and R,”

As soon as Palutena had addressed her as 'sister’, Luna brightened back up.

We both arrived at the local spa in Canterlot, the staff practically tripped over each other to see to our needs, both Luna and Palutena giggled at their antics and pried them apart from the tangled pile they formed.

“Be calm, we are here for some R n R” Palutena said as she summoned a couple bags of bits dropping them on the counter, causing the staff to salivate over the contents.

“We would like every treatment you have, sans massages for me as I am pregnant.” Palutena instructed them as they were guided by a mare with her mane done up in a Platt. They laid back on the seats, though she was being careful because of Palutena's condition. While she began the manicure and pedicures, another was washing their manes and tails while a third staff member had started brushing face masks on the two of us.

They remained silent except for the occasional moan of appreciation, while they worked. An hour later they climbed into the hot tub/jaccuzi and that is when they broke the silence, after the staff had left them alone to relax in the hot water.

“I’d like to thank you for joining me today Luna”

“Think nothing of it, we gods have to stick together.” Luna replied with a warm smile,

“I also think you look good as an alicorn, it suits you. While we had our first encounter I didn't have the chance to truly appreciate your looks.” Luna complemented Palutena causing her to blush lightly,

“Please Luna, you're much better looking than I. A green coat isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing, and to have a shade of green as my mane and tail as well, the only advantage it could give me is during guerilla warfare and I'm in a forest.”

“Nonsense! You are perfect the way you are, I am sure that 'Tia shares the sentiment.” Luna assured though it was completely ruined by the giggle, brought on by the images in her mind of Palutena in guerrilla warfare.

“Luna, I’m not ready to be a mother, I mean I have only been alive for a millennium but I have never given any thought to it, or even learnt how to take care of a foal let alone two. I am feeling out of my depth here.” Palutena confided after a moment of contemplation.

Luna shifted over to her side and placed a hoof on her withers “Palutena, no mare is truly ready for bearing foals and no amount of reading can prepare you for it, but you are not alone. You have Celestia, you have me and Cadence by your side. You have friends. I am sure you'll make a great mother for your foals, but to doubt is only natural for first time mothers,”

“Thank you, for being so supportive of me Luna. This kind of distracted me from helping you win Twilight's heart and here I am selfishly complaining about this, when it's my own fault for foolishly trying to see Celestia during my heat.”

“Don't worry about that. We have plenty of time to plan and discuss that later.and I also expect to hear some juicy gossip as well,”
