A Merpony's Adventure
Chapter 45: Chapter forty four
Previous Chapter Next ChapterKibby was busy pulling the tubes from Selene as Cadence and Discord went chasing the twins. This caused her to sit on the bed listening to them and the other nurses yelling out. Dusk was appearing and reappearing in random rooms while Celestial was rolling around halls in a small water bubble. Once Selene was free she pulled herself out of the bed and placed her spell on. Stretching her hind legs she walked out of the room her fins hanging from her body. She closed her eyes as she let a low sonar calling her twins. Dusk appeared in the hall clapping his hooves as Celestial rolled next to him. He climbed in giggling causing Kibby to stare.
“Is that water?” her voice was shaky as Cadence and Discord nodded. The spirit fo chaos and the alicorn of love were out of breath.
“I’m calling in back up” she huffed as she made a small note on a sticky notepad before making it disappear. Dusk was smiled as he blew bubbles as his gills moved causing Kibby to watch in shock.
“He can breath in water!” she smiled as Dusk looked towards them. He giggled as Selene let out another low sonar her breath was laboring. The twins calmed down as Celestial looked towards her. Celestia and Luna appeared around the nurse’s station. Both the twins looked towards the alicorns and giggles. They ran off causing Discord to groan. Celestia was shocked as she saw the worn out Spirit as Cadence was huffing. Selene collapsed to the floor panting heavily. She pushed herself up off the floor.
“So this is the help” Celestia smiled as she let out a soft melody. Dusk appeared in front of her holding his hooves up before Celestial rolled past him. He turned his head and clapped his hooves before disappearing.
“I think you need another trick sister” Luna was smiled as Celestia was shocked.
“Oh, so this is how they wish to play” she smiled as she used her magic to track them. Nurse Red heart stayed quiet till she noticed blood running down Selene’s back hooves. She got up and pulled the merpony to the side.
“Oh no you are not running after them” he pushed Selene back to the room.
“But…I…need to” she groaned as Nurse Red heart pushed her to the bed.
“You ripped your stitches” She pointed to the bed as Selene pulled her magic. Her tail appeared as Red Heart stuck her head in the hall and called for a doctor. Selene pulled a pillow towards her as she felt the tubes being entered her hooves again. She watched as the doctor walked in letting her heard the others chasing the twins. Her ears folded back.
“Lay still please” he smiled as Selene placed her head down. She felt the doctor open up her slit causing her to blush “You broke a few stitches. I will place them back but I need you to not run, use magic or move unless needed” he gave her a small local before placing the stitches back. Her ears caught the sound of other ponies joining in on the chase. Dusk appeared in the room looking towards Selene yawning. The doctor moved as Dusk simply rolled towards her and curling up as he fell asleep against her.
“I guess using all his magic made him tired” the doctor smiled “I will be giving stick orders with your family about what you can and can not do for a week” he waved a clipboard at her causing her to look away
“You two get some rest. We will be back later…” She noticed her sister was to focus on the twins as her wings moved. They were watching her ears as Luna stuck her tongue out causing them to laugh “Or my sister can stay and watch over you two. I will be back with some help” she had a smile before leaving the room. Twilight let out a yawn before falling to sleep. Selene closed her eyes and drifted off as well. No dreams haunted her allowing her to rest. Her body felt sore as she tried to move her tail getting stopped by something. Her eye opened up as she noticed Twilight was missing but Spike was near her tail asleep. Sitting up she noticed Nurse Red Heart walking in and replacing the bags that were attached to her. She groaned a bit as she looked around noticing the twins were silent. They were sleeping in their crib holding onto each other. Their names were on a pink and blue star taped to the side. Her ears moved as she heard the sound of metal. Sitting up she noticed more tubes and wires attached to her causing her to groan. Looking to the door she noticed two stallions one in gold and white fur and one in silver armor. The bowed towards her as the door opened up. Princess Celestia and Luna walked in with smiles as Discord was following them. He was holding a large bouquet in his claws before placing them on the dresser next to the bed.
“Oh my gosh,” he quickly moved towards the crib noticing the twins holding each other while they slept.
“I didn’t expect to see you all here” her voice was still silent as Celestia leaned down and nuzzled her.
“The castle is closed for a week. We give the staff a week off for the holiday. Twilight went to get her family and her friends together as we heard you might be able to head home” Celestia smiled as Luna looked towards her.
“I also wanted to see my grandchildren” Luna had a smile as Celestia looked towards her.
“Luna you didn’t tell her the news yet” Celestia blinked as the guards walked out of the room as the doctor walked in with a clipboard. Luna fluffed her wings up as Discord was busy looking down at the twins. He smiled a bit as he noticed their eyes opening a bit as they stared up at him. Luna used her magic causing Dusk to star up at her watching her horn glowing as she lifted some papers to Selene.
“Your father sent the papers to officially adopt you. He wants all the loop poles and loose ends the nobles may use against us cleaned up.” Luna watched as Selene glanced towards the paper and let out a sigh before nodding. The doctor coughed into his hoof causing the ponies to turn towards him.
“So you are her mother now Princess?” he glanced up as Luna nodded “Good I have a long list of dos and don’t” he smiled as he flipped through his clipboard “First off no rapid movement we had to place stitches along her area. Your body was not suited to give birth to a unicorn. His horn tore you up and I suggest if you have kids again. I would recommend you stay in the hospital for the last two months. Now your blood count is up but I want you to take it easy and rest. Let others take care of the twins if needed and do not move from a bed unless needed” he glanced towards Selene as a white light blinded him.
“The twins are gone” Discord spoke up. The alicorns looked back at him as Selene sat up quickly her heart ponding. Her fins were up in the air as she pulled the tubes and wires off of her. She leaped from the bed using her magic to place a leg spell on her tail. She pushed the doctor out of the way and bolted into the hall. Celestia and Luna followed her as Discord strolled out of the room. Selene was huffing as blood ran down her back hooves. The nurses were staring up at her as she was taller than the average pony but shorter than the princesses. her fins were draping by her side as she closed her eyes letting a low sonar out. She heard the twins blabbing about. Celestial was in a large ball of water rolling around as Dusk was beside her laughing. His fins were moving as his gills were opened and moving freely. Celestia and Luna finally caught up with her the doctor was pulling on Selene’s fin.
“You need to get back to bed. You broke your stitches let the others handle them” he looked up towards her as she moved over to the twins. Celestial noticed Selene and held her hooves up towards her. Dusk smiled and used his magic to teleport him and Celestial out of the water giggling. Selene let out another sonar as Dusk and Celestial appeared on the nurse’s desk. Luna walked over to Selene and pulled on her legs.
“Selene walk with the doctor back to the room. We will take care of this” Celestia nuzzled her as Luna pushed her back to the room. Selene nodded as she turned around walking back to the room with the doctor. He was ordering some supplies from a nearby nurse as Selene was looking up towards the ceiling. Her ears were twitching as she heard her aunts chasing the twins. She groaned a bit as she walked into the room noticing Dusk and Celestial sitting on the bed looking up at her. She pulled her magic as she climbed into the bed. The nurse that walked into the room move towards her placing the tubes back into her hoof. She had the diodes placed back as the twins started to feed. The doctor sighed as he moved towards her.
“Now I am going to give you a small local and stitch you back up.” He grumbled a bit as he worked around the twins. Selene pulled a pillow towards her as she laid her head down on it. She could feel the hooves of the doctor as he opened her slit up “You broke a couple of stitches” he moved the needle in and started to fix her up. She closed her eyes and waited for the doctor to stop.
“Alright done. I need to recheck your blood level now and you need to stay an extra night. I am going to tell a nurse to give you a sedative that is on approved list” he walked out of the room with a small vial of blood. Selene felt the twins released from her as she could feel something warm running through her veins. As Discord walked into the room he left the door open as he turned his head.
“Sun butt, Moon butt found the twins” he smiled as he walked into the room. The nurse was busy burping the twins as Selene was laying their drugged up. Her eyes were fighting to stay open causing her to look weird. One was opening as the other was closing causing her to stare at nothing. Discord walked over to her and waved his claw in front of her face. She didn’t respond as Selene closed her eyes and fell asleep. He looked towards the two alicorn sisters.
“She has been through something rough.” Luna walked over and laid her down softly as the twins were looking up at them. Discord looked towards the twins causing them to coo and babble a bit.
“They have coat markings like a fish but…its just weird and I am loving it” he smiled as his tail swayed a bit. Celestia looked towards Luna with a smile.
“Tails I will pick the baby and twins room. Heads you get the castle and whoever doesn’t get the castle can decorate the treehouse” Celestia smiled as she pulled a coin out. Discord looked up from the crib.
“I get the treehouse and I need to decorate the cottage” his eyes lit up before disappearing. Celestia sighed as she moved her wing towards her sister.
“I will let you decide the rooms in the castle” she smiled as Luna looked towards her sister.
“Are you sure? This is your student we are talking about”
“And your adoptive daughter. Plus the lunar guard seems to like her a lot”
“And the solar guard loves Twilight” Luna smiled as she looked towards the twins. They were laying in a pile of blankets and pillows nestled up against Selene resting. Celestia nodded as she watched her sister walk out of the room.
“I have an idea” she smiled as she disappeared. Celestia let out a sigh as she looked towards the twins keeping an eye on Dusk. Celestia moved the twins a bit as she placed a wet towel over her tail and then a warm blanket. She kept her eye on the twins as they nestled in a large blanket allowing their fins and gills to be seen. The room grew peacefully allowing Selene to rest with ease. Celestia shot her head up thinking something bad had happened while she was out cold. Her head turned towards the twins noticing they were still asleep peacefully. Discord had returned and was stretched out on the foot of the bed.
“Go to sleep Celestia. I can watch the little bundles of chaos” he grinned as Celestia nodded.
“I am going to need you to come with us on the trip Discord.”
“I was already planning on it” he moved his eyes over towards her. Celestia rolled her eyes as she looked towards the spirit of chaos. She let out a small yawn as she moved her wing to rub her eyes.
“Has Twilight returned yet?” she looked around as Discord shook his head.
“Not yet.” He sat up stretching his neck as he noticed the twins were moving. Dusk let out a small yawn as he looked up towards Discord. The spirit of chaos bent his head down towards him. Dusk flared his fins out while puffing his chest out. He started to stomp his hooves on the bed.
“What are you do” he was cut short as Dusk shot a stream of milk at him. Celestial opened her eyes as she noticed her brother huffing at Discord. The spirit of chaos simply blinked at what just happened to him. Celestia started to chuckle as she moved her wing towards Dusk causing him to do the same thing again. She pulled her wing-back and bowed to him. His fins twitched as he backed off from her. Selene let out a small groan as she moved a bit. She lifted her head as she looked down towards the twins. Selene pulled herself out of the blankets allowing herself to wrap her tail around them. Dusk looked up towards her with wide eyes as Celestial moved towards her latching onto her breast. Selene moved her hoof towards Dusk and rubbed his head softly.
“They are alright little one” she spoke softly causing Dusk to lean against her. Taking the opening she looked towards the others. She noticed her aunt and Discord sitting in the room causing Selene to rub her eyes.
“Where is Twilight?” her voice broke the silence as Celestia fixed her wings.
“She still not back. It does take a few hours Selene” Discord smiled as she nodded slowly. She glanced down as she noticed Celestial pulling from her breast. She leaned down and rubbed her hoof rubbed her back listening for her to burp. Selene laid herself down on the bed yawning lightly. She watched as Dusk was staring at the two before tilting his head to the side. She watched as Discord laid his head down watching the little one. Dusk reached his hoof out as he tapped Discord’s nose before giggling. The spirit of chaos wrinkles his nose before sticking his tongue out. Dusk curled up beside Selene.
“At least their calm now” Discord sat back up rubbing his neck. Celestia nodded as she watched Selene close her eyes. She was able to get some rest till the door leading out into the hall opened up. Luna was covered in snow as Twilight and Princess Cadence standing behind her. Shining Armor was standing behind them. They walked into the room pulling their winter gear off.
“Sorry Princess to keep you waiting. Mother and father went to our grandparents in Baltimare for a week but are stuck due to the trains coming to a halt since half the tracks are buried in snow.” Shining Armor shook his head as Celestial sat up holding her hooves out towards Twilight. Her fins started to move as Dusk sat his head up. He started to stomp his hooves as his fins opened up. Selene lifted her hoof and pulled Dusk closer towards her as she placed her head against him.
“You need to calm down young man” she huffed as Cadence let out a squeal. Selene’s ears went up as she looked up towards the new ponies in the room. She blinked her eyes as Dusk shot out another stream of milk hitting Shining Armor in the face. Celestial chuckled as she was in Twilight’s hooves watching her brother.
“Dusk!” Selene looked down as his ears folded behind his head. He hid his head in his hooves as his fins lowered. Selene sighed as she pulled her tail up onto the bed as she pulled her son into her hooves. She lowered her head towards him and nuzzled him softly.
“Sorry Shining I should have warned you” Cadence was chuckling as the unicorn simply blinked cleaning his face off.
“He got an aim on that one” he chuckled as Cadence nodded.
“So when can they leave the hospital?” Cadence spoke up as Twilight turned towards Celestia and Discord.
“Maybe tomorrow Twilight. We had some issues” Celestia glanced over as Dusk. He was busy nuzzling Selene softly. The merpony watched as Dusk opened his eye before disappearing again. Cadence was shocked as Discord groaned.
“Not again” he grumbled “I am getting Fluttershy” he disappeared from the room as Twilight looked towards the princess. Celestia got to her hooves as Selene sat up and closed her eyes. She opened her gills and let out a small sonar. Dusk appeared in front of her with his hooves up and pointing at her. He had tears in his eyes as he started to cry a bit. Selene leaned down and picked him up and held him close to her. The ponies in the room seemed to calm down when he got into her hooves resting peacefully. The door to the room opened up as a few nurses came walking in.
“Its time to weigh and give the children their shots while the mother gets a bath” a few merpony nurses walked in with some buckets and blankets. Twilight and the others nodded as they filed out of the room. Selene watched as the nurses took the children from the room causing her to sit up on her tail. The nurses walked over towards her and pulled the tubes from her hooves and body allowing her to move from the bed. Selene shot from the bed and into the bathroom. Her tail was giving her issues and she trusted that Twilight and the others would watch the children. She jumped into the bathtub causing the nurses to run after her.
“Queen of the sea!” one of them yelled as Selene was or trying to curl herself in the bathtub. Her tail had grown longer as her body had lengthened causing her to be too long for the tub. She sat up as the nurses looked over at her in shock. Once she hit water her mane had lengthened causing her power to activate. Her mane had small little fishes moving throughout as her tail started to glow a soft blue casting white and blue lights on the wall. Selene looked towards the nurses as she held her tail up. Her fins were larger and heavier with tidal wave designs in the fins. She pushed her mane back as a soft glow caught her attention. Where her mane touched the water it was glowing a soft white while her scales were glowing blue. She glanced up at the nurses who were watching in shock. While they moved in to tackle Selene’s tail Twilight walked along the hall watching the twins stare at her while reaching out for her.
“They know who their momma is” Cadence was giggling as she covered her muzzle with her wing. Shining Armor was glancing at his wife as Twilight nodded. She stopped as she looked up towards the Princess.
“Princess can I say I am scared” she blinked a bit as Celestia glanced towards her students.
“Twilight parenthood will always scare new parents” she had a smile on her face. Twilight shook her head as she kept her eyes on her teacher.
“No, I am scared about the curse. I can not find anything on it and what we know is coming from the islanders. I am scared of what will happen if I can’t find a way to” she was stopped as Celestia placed her hoof towards Twilight’s muzzle.
“We will find a way. Besides, you should not let the future worry you at the moment. You have something that needs your attention in the present” Celestia extended her wing towards the twins. They were clutching a pair of teddy bears as they had tears in their eyes.
“I see a couple that didn’t like their shots” Cadence sung as she looked towards Twilight smiling. The purple unicorn smiled as she walked over to the twins.
“Your right Princess”
“And when they get older I call dibs on teaching them magic. If they are like their mother they will need some help” Celestia had a grin on her muzzle as Twilight looked towards her with a small smile on her face.
