Illusion: You look excited

Claire: Of course I am! We get to see what our baby’s gonna be!

Illusion: chuckles

Claire: What? Why’re you laughing?

Illusion: It took you 30 years to decide you wanted to get married and 50 years to decide you wanted a baby. Idie, here just turned two and you already wanted another

Claire: Well… I mean, I didn’t realize how amazing it would be to have a baby. Plus Idie’s such a good girl. nuzzles sleeping Identity Yes she is, yes she is!

Illusion: smiles

Claire: …… Also, it gets a little lonely sometimes.

Illusion: Lonely?

Claire: I mean… you’re always off doing your meetings and negotiations with your mother and father. My father is all the way in Ponyville taking care of the castle. T and Nidra have their “thing” going on. And…. all our old friends……

Illusion: I see. I’m sorry, Crys. I wish I could be home more kisses Claire

Claire: It’s okay, I’m going to have Identity and whoever this little sweetheart is going to be to keep me company rubs belly

Illusion: Well, they’ll definitely keep you busy

Claire: Probably. But I’m okay with that

Nurse: Princess? The doctor will see you now

Claire: jumps up and walks to the back with Illusion and Idie

Doctor: Hello Princess, and Prince aaaand other little Princess

Claire: Hello doctor!

Doctor: Are you ready for your ultrasound?

Claire: Absolutely

Doctor: Then let’s begin shall we?

Claire: nods

Doctor: Alright, let’s seeeeee… So, while I’m checking, is there anything you may be concerned about that you think I should know?

Claire: Nope. Everything seems to be going smoothly. Just the usual morning sickness and cravings.

Illusion: And mood swings

Claire: sticks out tongue

Doctor: chuckles Well, that certainly sounds normal

Claire: I do feel a little…. bigger than last time. That might just be me though

Doctor: It might be. But babies do vary in size so it would be perfectly fine if you actually are.

Claire: nods

Doctor: Ah, looks like we have some results.

Claire: Yay

Doctor: Hmmmmm….

Claire: …………………..

Doctor: Oh, wow.

Claire: What? What’s wrong? Is something wrong?

Doctor: No. Not at all. It just seems like you will be having……

Claire: Mmhm?

Illusion: leans in

Doctor: Triplets

Claire: I…….. w-wha

Illusion: Tri-trip…..

Doctor: Triplets! My, this is extremely rare. I’ve never seen somepony have triplets before…

Claire: A-am I going to be okay??? Are the…… t-triplets going to be okay???

Doctor: I… it’s hard to say. If you were a normal pony, I might tell you that there would be some complications but, you are not a normal pony. From what I know, it’s not uncommon for dragons to have multiple offspring…

Claire: whimpers

Doctor: It’s okay Princess. We’ll just have to closely monitor you this time around.

Claire: O-okay…

Doctor: I’ll be right back

Claire: ……………

Illusion: Triplets……… You alright?

Claire: More like horrified. I have THREE foals inside me, Lulu.

Illusion: I know…

Claire: I’m going to have to give birth to THREE FOALS! I’m going to DIE!

Illusion: Crys, don’t be silly, you’ll be fine.

Claire: I hope so. And I hope these three will be okay.

Illusion: Well, if they’re anything like their father, they’re gonna make it out just fine puffs out chest

Claire: giggles and sighs I suppose so.

Identity: begins to stir

Illusion: Ah, look who’s waking up

Identity: yawns

Illusion: Hey kiddo. You missed all the excitement

Identity: rubs eyes and looks at Claire

Illusion: Hm?

Identity: reaches for Claire

Claire: Hi, sweetie. C’mere. picks up Idie

Identity: moves from Claire’s arms and hugs her stomach

Claire: Heh. She always seems to know what’s up

Illusion: She’s a smart one. Just like me!

Claire: Why are all the good traits always from you?

Illusion: shrugs Just makes sense

Claire: chuckles

Illusion: Well, one thing I hope she gets from you is your perseverance.

Claire: Oh, Illusion

Illusion: You’ve been through a lot Claire and you’ve powered through everything. This is just another one of those things. You’ll be fine. I promise

Claire: Thank you, Lulu
