I start this entry by addressing you, the reader, as I suspect that the contents of this, my private journal are sure to hold some small historical significance in years to come. Hitherto, I have concerned myself with recounting the story of how I came to live in Equestria and work as both a lawyer and a Gentleman. But now, things that I had only a passing knowledge of, I find myself thrust in the midst of quite unexpectedly.

Three months had passed since my marriage, and all three of my brides were now showing their pregnancies, their stomachs visibly swollen. I had kept my promise and asked that I only be booked as a Gentleman very rarely, and had cut down my casework as a lawyer. I had decided that Manehatten was no place to raise foals, so I had terminated the lease on my apartment and bought a new house - a nice little cottage in the little village of Nutwood, a village 1.2 miles out of Trottingham. As my wives bellies grew, so did the gossip - both back home and locally. My parents wrote to me saying that the locals were outraged at my "shameful fornication" and that the Vicar had said he would not ever baptise my children. None of that bothered me one iota, I was happy. In my spare time, I wrote articles for Friends of Equestria about the need to spread acceptance of Human/pony relationships, and giving interviews on what it was like being married to three mares and the upcoming births.

It had been an ordinary day when we received a most unexpected guest.

'I'll get it.' I said when we heard a knock on the door. I got up off the bed and made my way to the door

Opening the door, I was surprised to find myself face to face with princess Celestia. 'Your Highness! What an unexpected honour!' I exclaimed with bowing of my head

She smiled, 'May I come in? I have something very important to discuss with you.'

Of course, your Highness come right in!' I said hurriedly and stood aside to let her in. As she walked past me I found myself appraising her elegant neck, the subtle curve of her back and the finely groomed feathers of her wings, with the tips resting on the plump roundness of her rump. Now that I looked, she was a very attractive mare, and I found myself wondering what she'd be like to have sex with. I shook my head to clear my mind of such thoughts, my eyes scrunched tight in concentration.

'Something wrong?' Celestia asked, having seen me

'Oh, no - nothing at all, I'm fine.' I replied a little hastily

'Are your wives here? It is really to them that I must speak to first.' she replied pleasantly, looking around our home

'Yes, please, make yourself at home and I'll go and get them.' I said and dashed from the room

'Who were you talking to?' demanded Lightning Dust as I skided to a halt at the bedroom door

'You're not going to belive this, but princess Celestia is in our living room!' I said in a stage whisper

'What! Celestia? She's here?!' Milky gasped 'I haven't done the dusting yet! Oh, she's going to think we're common as muck!' she cried, pulling her mane in nervousness

'Relax, darling, just come on out, she says she has something important to discuss with all of you.'

And so I lead them out to the living room where Celestia was sitting on the settee, when they saw her they kowtowed before taking their seats on the couch opposite

'My goodness, may I say, you ladies are looking simply wonderful! I hope the pregnancies aren't too difficult?' she said upon seeing their swollen bellies.

'I had some trouble with morning sickness, but that's cleared up now - Edmund was very supportive, so it wasn't too bad.' Milky replied, and when shesmiled up at me; my breath caught in my throat at her gaze.

'I did feel a bit unsettled for a while, but it passed soon enough.' answered Octavia as if it were of no concern

'I see, and what of you miss Lightning Dust?' she asked, turning her attention to her

'Heh, I felt nothing! Pregnancy is a piece of cake!' she boasted, with a smug look on her face

'Well then I'm glad that you three are doing so well.' Celestia replied serenely

'Can I get you a drink, your Highness?' I asked, my hands resting on the couch back.

'Oh, yes please.' she replied politely

'Wonderful, I'll put the kettle on then.'

'So, may I ask what brings you here, your Highness?' I asked as I filled the kettle

'First of all, I wanted to let you know that it has been decided that not only will the potion seized at the mansion of Duchess Château be made available at the clinics of qualified doctors, but that more should be made. It is partly due to you three, Edmund's passionate speech showed me just how much joy it will bring.'

'Oh your Highness, That's wonderful news!' gasped Milky Way, clapping her fore hooves to her mouth

I was busily engaged in finding a teapot, cups and saucers so I missed part of the conversation. While I was filling the teapot, I was able to pick it up again - the women were discussing foal names and such things as that.

'And what is the other reason?' I asked, taking a seat in my armchair and placing the tray laden with all that you'd need for a simple afternoon tea on the coffee table.

Celestia looked seriously at my wives and said 'Ladies, I am here to formally ask you, as Edmunds' wives, for Mutuatus nocte.'

'Borrowed night? What does that mean?' I blurted out

'It is an Equestrian tradition, seldom used nowadays whereby a mare without a stallion formally requests the use of stallion - often one she knows and respects - for the purposes of siring a foal.' Celestia explained

'Why Edmund?' Octavia said in a tone that boarded on aggressive

To my surprise, Celestia didn't seem at all offended and merely relied ' Because I believe he is a good and honourable man. He and I spoke privately after the summit, and I began to see that he was deeply concerned with doing the right thing, that he cared greatly for you. In fact I began to see that he had an almost inexhaustible amount of love. More than that, he couples his kindness with a wisdom seldom seen - even if, by his own admission, he does have some rather egregious lapses in common sense.'

Lightning Dust smirked at that, and nodded smugly

'Well then, when would you want to have_M_utuatus nocte?' asked Octavia

In a little over a months time, I can feel my heat coming on, and it is already begining to affect some of my more sensitive guards.'

'Pardon my interruption, but how can you feel your heat a month out from it arriving? And how can it be affecting stallions?' I butted in, unable to keep from asking

'Alicorns do not have monthly cycles, but yearly ones, we live for thousands of years, so we learn quickly how to sense our heat. As to the effect on stallions, in the stage that I am in now, We begin to produce pheromones that stallions with heightened senses can detect. It makes them notice us as females - draws their gaze to certain areas they ordinarily wouldn't focus on.'Celestia replied, as if she were commenting on the weather.

'And the gratuity?' Octavia asked sharply

'Hold on! isn't this just the same as being a Gentleman?! I provide a service - if you'll forgive me for using that term in such a crude manner - and get paid for it?' I exclaimed

'Oh no, it is a compensation paid to the mares for the use of their stallion, usually it was a small amount of money or it was a trade.' Celestia explained, 'But yes, in a way Gentlemen for Mares, and other companies whether they know it or not are continuing the tradition in a different form.

'So, the amount?' Octavia repeated doggedly

'Five hundred bits.' Celestia replied

'What!? That's ridiculous, if you want to use our stallion I won't accept anything less than one thousand!' retorted Octavia

'Six hundred and fifty then.'

'Nine hundred and eighty!'

'Seven hundred!' Celestia shot back fiercely

'Eight hundred and seventy! Edmund is no ordinary stallion, he is attentive and talented in mating.' boasted Octavia, 'You're going to have to pay for guaranteed satisfaction and pregnancy you know.'

I was shocked at being talked about as if I were just a commodity, and the forthrightness with which Octavia spoke. They continued to haggle, slowly reaching a figure of seven hundred and eighty bits.

'Agreed! For seven hundred and eighty bits, you may have our stallion for one night.' Octavia said, and then she and Celestia touched noses in a show of friendliness.

'What was all that about?' I asked Octavia when Celestia had left

'Oh, of course, you don't understand some of our more antiquated customs. Part of the tradition is that the mares haggle over the compensation - pulling no punches in trying to get the price they want.'

'Oh, all right then, ' I said weakly ' thanks for sticking up for me.'

'I meant every word my love.'

One month later, a scroll materialised right in front of me. I unfurled it and read:

"Dear Edmund,

My heat is upon me and I ask that you come to the castle tomorrow night. For secrecies sake I ask that you come on the pretext of coming to offer me legal advice. Please reply on the enclosed parchment as soon as possible.

Yours,

Celestia "

I then noticed a second sheet of parchment, which was blank. I laid it flat on my desk, and secured it with paperweights.

Frowning slightly as I dipped my quill into the inkwell, I began writing the reply.

" Your Highness,

I will of course attend you tomorrow night as requested, and I will likewise maintain the illusion of supplying my services as a lawyer.

Yours faithfully,

Edmund Johnson"

Once the ink was dry, I rolled up the scroll and sealed it. To my surprise, it vanished with a flash of golden magic aura.

Mere moments later, yet another scroll appeared before me. It simply read:

"Thank you, I will send a chariot at 5 O'clock tomorrow."

And at five the following evening, I was wearing a suit, and had a file with Celestia's name on it in my hand when a gilded chariot pulled by two pegasi arrived

'Well my dears, that's my ride, so I'll see you all tomorrow.' I told my wives as I adjusted my tie

'Goodbye darling' came the reply in chorus

I stooped down and kissed each of them in turn

'This is a kind thing you're doing for Celestia, and you know I'm proud of you all, don't you?' I asked

'We know, now just go darling, don't keep a lady waiting.' Octavia said tenderly

And so, my goodbyes said, I left.

I was met at the castle by a solitary guard, as anonymous as any other.

'Follow me.' he said curtly

And so, I trod after him, my footsteps echoing in pace with his hoofsteps on the marble floor.

We halted before a set of double doors with ornate carvings 'These are the private chambers of her Highness, go straight in - she is expecting you.' he said and without so much as a second glance, turned tail and left.

With some trepidation, I pushed on the doors. Despite their size, they were much lighter than I expected. As I entered, I was hit by a veritable blast of heat, my suit seemed to shrink and my tongue felt like a dead thing in my mouth.

'Your Highness? It's me Edmund, where are you?' I called out

'Over here' I heard her call out from beyond a veiled archway

I entered, and I saw Celestia lying on a sofa, with a look that was familiar to me by now. It was the look of a mare in heat

'I am at your service, your Highness.' I said with a bow

'Then please, begin.' she replied

With barely restrained excitement and not a little nervousness, I began to strip. Here was I, about to have sex with the most beloved princess Celestia, the beautiful Celestia was going to have my foal!

Before long I was naked, and without further ado I moved to the sofa and once I was behind her, I was met with a glorious sight! Celestia's plump, round haunches were almost enough to make me cum then and there, to say nothing of the thick-lipped pure white vulva dripping with juices and the winking of her fat clit.

'With your permission your highness.' I said as I slid my raging erection into her royal marehood. It was hot, almost too hot and so very tight!

She let out a low moan of pleasure as I did so, which drove me wild with lust. Again, my brain switched to autopilot, and all I could think about was my release. And so, grabbing onto her wide hips, I thrust away like a man possessed. Eventually I felt the approach of my climax and with a bestial grunt, I ploughed deep into Celestia, and blasted my load right at her cervix before collapsing on the floor with exhaustion.

'Forgive me your Highness, it...it's just it's very hot in here.' I panted as I lay sprawled on the marble floor

'I'm afraid that's my fault, my powers go a bit out of control whenever I'm in heat.' she replied

'Oh, then it's not your fault your highness -'

'Please, call me "Celestia" Edmund' she interjected

'OK, then... Celestia.' I amended, blushing slightly at the novelty of speaking to a ruler so casually 'Is their some water around? I feel rather thirsty.'

'Of course, it's out on the balcony.' she replied

I put on a dressing gown that was there and pushed open the large doors that led to the balcony and the effect of the cool night air on my skin was marvellous! I found a large carafe full of water and several glasses on a silver tray on a small table and I gulped down three glasses of cool water in quick succession. Suitably re-hydrated, I went back inside, casting aside the gown as I did.

The smell of Celestia's heat, which was already strong, became all pervading, and I knew another cycle was starting. My body knew it too, and I felt myself become erect again. As I approached, Celestia gave me a pleading look and almost spoke, but I put a finger to my lips, and she remained silent. Without a single word, I walked up behind her, and slowly slid myself into her sweltering pussy

'Ahh, yes!! That's wonderful!! Oh, please make love to me! I need to feel your seed inside me!' she whined with lust

I leant forward and kissed her on the base of her neck, 'Don't worry Celestia, I'm going to make this a good one.' I said gently

And half an hour later, I brought her to a powerful climax, at which point I came as well.

'Oh my, that was unbelievable!' she said after the initial pleasure had ebbed away 'I'm feeling rather giddy still.'

'Me too!' I replied, slumping to the floor by her head 'If I may say so, you were fantastic.'

'Oh, I don't know..' she replied sheepishly

'Trust me on this Celestia, you were.'

She giggled demurely 'If you say so.'

With nothing to do until her next phase, we talked.

'Well, one of my favourite authors from your world is Tolkien - he had such an imagination! I almost believe that all those people and places really did exist! And the films are amazing too!'

'He's one of my favourite authors too! He was a brilliant writer.' I agreed 'But the films still cut a lot of good stuff out though'

Soon the topic of family came up.

'Well Luna is very happy these days, I think she has a special somepony; and I can see why.' she added bitterly

'What do you mean, Celestia?' I asked, concerned at her tone

'Well, she's young and pretty and trim! Whereas I'm old, ugly and flabby! I eat too much and I don't exercise enough.' she finish lamely

I reached up and stroked her face, 'Celestia, you're not.' I said firmly, wiping away her tears

'Not what?' she sniffled

'Not " old, ugly and flabby", not at all!' I explained 'I know you're concerned about your haunches, but they're sexy! I love those big plump haunches of yours!'

'Y-you do?' she said, smiling faintly

'Yes, let me prove it.' I said getting to my feet and returning to her rear. Once there, I began massaging and caressing her buttocks and lavishing kisses on them. I had to admit, the scent of her sweat and the taste of her body were amazingly erotic.

'Edmund, come here to me please.' she said after a while

When I moved back to where I was before, I was taken aback when she kissed me forcefully, even slipping her tongue in.

'Thank you Edmund, I have never known such tenderness.' she told me, blushing bright red 'It's just that as Princess it gets very lonely sometimes. So much of your life is taken up with affairs of the state, that there is no time for, well you know.'

'Affairs of the heart? I can only imagine what that must be like.'

'Yes, thank you Edmund.' she replied, resting her head on my shoulder

The next morning I set off home again, but not before making a detour to a certain sweet-shop.

The bell jangled as I entered, and a mass of curly red mane poked out from between two barrels full of toffees.

'It's you!' she cried, her voice rising with excitement

'Yes, Miss Twist, I have come back, just I promised I would,' I chuckled 'And I hope you know what I've come to buy.'

I sure do! Chocolate truffle, Turkish Delight and Caramel squares!' she piped

'Oh dear me, you forgot something.'

Her ears drooped, 'I did?'

'Yes, you forgot those delicious candy canes of yours.' I replied

'Oh!' she said, her face lighting up 'Mom, we've got a customer!'

When I returned home, I was very pleasantly surprised to see all three of my wives curled up asleep on the bed and, not wanting to disturb them, I tip-toed beck to the living room and read a book. But not before taking a short video of them, this was a home movie scene if ever there was one!

An hour later, they woke up.

'Edmund! You're back!' Lightning squealed as she tackled me around the waist when I left the bathroom

'I've missed you too darling!' I chuckled, ruffling her mane and pecking her on the nose

'Idiot! I didn't say I missed you.' she retorted, blushing bright red

'So, you didn't miss me, all right then.' I said offhandedly

'I didn't say I didn't miss you, dummy!' she blustered

'Oh? So why get all frustrated?' I teased

'Because, You shouldn't just assume that I did miss you.' she explained loftily

'All right then, my love. Are the others awake?'

'Yeah, you want me to let them know you're back?' she asked

'Yes please, I'll be in the living room.'

'OK then.' she said and walked away, her belly jiggling slightly

'Ed?' she called, and I turned around

'Yeah?'

'I_did_ miss you.' she said softly

The next day,I woke up early, and I saw Milky lying next to me she was on her back, a contented smile on her face. Her teats were as swollen as her belly, and in fact beads of milk were forming. I couldn't resist the temptation, so I latched on to her left teat and began sucking her rich, creamy milk. She moaned an alluring moan and shifted slightly as I switched to her other teat, but didn't wake. As always, her milk and her soft moans were arousing to the extreme. Soon I had drank my fill, and made to go shower, but I felt a tug on my sleeve and turned to see Milky with her eyes half open.

'Please?' she said softly using her hooves to spread her soaking wet slit 'I need to feel you inside me.'

I nodded, and got between her legs. Then with gentle movements, I pulled out my cock and slid into her tight cunt.

'Oh yes, I've missed this so much!' she gasped as I hilted myself in her

'Me too my love, me too!' I whispered back

And I very slowly began fucking her sweet hole, both to avoid waking the others, and to avoid hurting the foal.

I thought I had achieved the former but I was wrong as I heard Octavia moaning, and I turned to see her rubbing her hoof on her marehood as she watched me plunge in and out of Milky. I indicated that she should come closer and when she did, I took over for her, using my fingers to mimic what I was doing to Milky.

'Hey! what about me?!' I heard Lightning complain from the far end of the bed

I stopped for a second and then figured out how we could make a foursome

OK, I'll tell you what, I'll lie down on my back, Then Milky can be on top, I can keep fingering you Octavia and Lightning, how about I eat you out?'

'Sounds good to me!' Lightning replied

And so we got in that arrangement and spent that whole morning giving each other pleasure. I made sure to cum at least once in each of them so that nopony felt left out.

Scarcely a month later, what was called the south east Asian crises began. North Korea declared war, and China, after a few feeble attempts to pacify its temperamental ally declared that in any conflict, it would be neutral. Meanwhile, South Korea and Japan signed a treaty whereby their armed forces would operate in tandem. Other Asia-pacific nations quickly moved to a war footing, and recruitment initiatives were taking place. Naturally, this meant that Richard was called back to active duty. He was stationed aboard the brand new carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth, and was now flying an F-35. He wrote often of how great a plane it was to fly, and told me the regular patrols were a "doddle" because no other planes could match them.

Two weeks after the official declaration of war, a scroll arrived in a flash of gold aura as I was at my desk. Seeing that it bore Celestia's personal seal, I opened it immediately.

'Dear Edmund,

I want to thank you again for a wonderful night, I truly appreciate all that you said and did.

I wish to inform you that I am indeed with foal, and therefore I must make an announcement soon. I ask that you and your wives come to Canterlot in a fortnights time

Yours, Celestia"

I reached for my pen, and wrote back,

" Dear Celestia, Once again you are most welcome, and your news makes me very happy. My wives and I will be honoured to be there for your announcement.

Yours, Edmund"

The next two weeks passed without incident, and the day itself was a gloriously sunny one. We caught the morning express to Canterlot and arrived at 1:15 pm. We were greeted at the castle entrance by a court official.

'Mr Johnson, right this way please.' he said, leading us to a back room.

Once inside, I saw that Celestia, together with her sister, whom I was surprised to see was accompanied by Prince Harry. The bearers of the elements of Harmony along with Discord, Prince Shining Armour and Princess Cadence as well as various high ranking nobles and civil servants were there too.

'I'm glad you could make it!' she greeted us warmly, and we took our seats

Seeing the confused looks on many faces, Celestia cleared her throat, 'Many of you are no doubt wondering why I have invited Mr Johnson and his wives to this most important of announcements. The simple answer is that he is the father of the foal or foals I am carrying. I wish to publicly declare that fact.'

'But your Highness! He's a commoner! We cannot have a commoner be the father of royalty!' objected Prince Blue Blood with barely disguised contempt

'You are quite right, and that is why I am making Mr Johnson an Earl.' she replied serenely

'An Earl? Celestia, thank you but..' I blurted out, shocked at such a suggestion

'But?' she asked gently

'I don't know if I can accept.' I said

'Edmund, please accept this, you truly deserve it.' she implored

I looked into those eyes, and I knew I could not refuse 'Yes, I thankfully accept.' I said, getting to one knee before her

'Well then, shall we begin? They will be waiting for the announcement.' she replied, and I stood and followed her out of the room

As I entered the great hall, I was almost overwhelmed! It seemed like the cremé de la cremé of Equestrian society was gathered together. A fanfare sounded, and a nomenclature cried out 'Princess Celestia of Equestria!' and everyone became silent

'My beloved subjects, I have called you here today to make an announcement that holds great significance - both for myself and for the kingdom!' she called out in a clear voice

'The first thing I must tell you is that after many years, I am with foal!'

The crowd murmured. What had she said? With foal? And then they bust into enthusiastic celebration.

'Yes, I am with foal, and it is thanks to my dear friend, Mr Edmund Johnson that this wonderful thing has happened.' Celestia continued once the crowd had fallen silent

'Equestrian law states that a commoner cannot be consort or sire to royalty, and for that reason, and others, I am of a mind to ennoble Mr Johnson. Are there any objections?'

The hall was deathly silent.

'Very good, Twilight?' she said and the lavender unicorn levitated an ornate scroll over to her

'CELESTIA the FIRST of Equestria and of Our other Realms and Territories, Princess, raiser and maintainer of the sun, supreme defender of Ponykind. To all Lords Spiritual and Temporal and all other Our Subjects whatsoever to whom these Presents shall come, Greetings!

Know Ye that We of Our especial grace, certain knowledge and mere motion do by these Presents erect, appoint and create Our right trusty and entirely beloved friend and counsellor, EDMUND JOHNSON to the dignity, state and degree of EARL Trottingham. And for Us Our heirs and successors do appoint, give and grant unto him the said name state degree, style, dignity, title and honour of Earl and by these Presents do dignify, invest and ennoble him by girding him with a sword and putting a cap of honour and a coronet of gold on his head...'

At which point, those items were placed upon me as well as a cope of velvet and mink fur.

'...to have and to hold the said name, degree style dignity title and honour of Earl unto him and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten and to be begotten. Willing and by these Presents granting for Us, Our heirs and successors that he and his heirs male aforesaid and every of them successively may have, hold and possess a seat place and voice in the Parliaments and Public Assemblies and Councils of Us, Our heirs and successors within Our Kingdom amongst the Earls. And also that he and his heirs male aforesaid successively may enjoy and use all the rights privileges, pre-eminences, immunities and advantages to the degree of an Earl duly and of right belonging which Earls of Our Kingdom have heretofore used and enjoyed or as they do at present use and enjoy. To his wives and heirs female, I do dignify, invest and really ennoble them with such name, state, degree, title and honour of Countess of the aforesaid Trottingham, enjoying all privileges of that rank.

In Witness whereof We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patent. WITNESS Ourself at Canterlot the seventeenth day of March in the one thousandth, two hundred and thirty-seventh year of Our Reign "

I arose, and with a bow accepted my title of Nobility.

'Secondly, I must inform you that our safety is threatened. We cannot be sure when, where or even if our enemy will strike, But fear not! I have strengthened the border patrols, and recruitment to the royal defence forces is being doubled. The enemy seeks to prevent the birth of another Alicorn, because it knows that it will be defeated if such an event comes to pass. I know that by becoming pregnant I have put you at risk, but I ask for your forgiveness.'

The assembled guests unequivocally shouted their support, and I saw tears in Celestia's eyes.

'Thank you! Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart!' she cried out

'Soon I shall have to go into seclusion, and at that time I will leave you in the capable hooves of my dear sister, and my trusted protégé, Twilight Sparkle'

Before I knew it, the time came for the birth of my first three children. Strangely, Milky, Octavia and Lightning all went into labour within hours of each other. I am told that this is in fact a common occurrence in Ponies. I quickly rushed them to Trottingham hospital, where they had them in the maternity ward ASAP.

After several hours of labour, we four looked down on our foals.

Octavia was the first to give birth, and it was a filly, 'What do you want to call her?' I asked as I held our daughter, who looked like her mother in miniature

'Cadenza' she replied, smiling up at me

'Very well, Cadenza it is then.' I said, reaching down to stroke a stray strand of sweat soaked mane from her face 'Welcome to our family, my little Cadenza.' I said, setting her down in the crib as she slept

I recited Robert Burn's "A poet's welcome to his love-begotten daughter"

"Thou's welcome, wean; mishanter fa' me, If thoughts o' thee, or yet thy mamie, Shall ever daunton me or awe me, My bonie lady, Or if I blush when thou shalt ca' me Tyta or daddie.

Tho' now they ca' me fornicator, An' tease my name in kintry clatter, The mair they talk, I'm kent the better, E'en let them clash; An auld wife's tongue's a feckless matter To gie ane fash.

Welcome! my bonie, sweet, wee dochter, Tho' ye come here a wee unsought for, And tho' your comin' I hae fought for, Baith kirk and queir; Yet, by my faith, ye're no unwrought for, That I shall swear!

Wee image o' my bonie Betty, As fatherly I kiss and daut thee, As dear, and near my heart I set thee Wi' as gude will As a' the priests had seen me get thee That's out o' hell.

Sweet fruit o' mony a merry dint, My funny toil is now a' tint, Sin' thou came to the warl' asklent, Which fools may scoff at; In my last plack thy part's be in't The better ha'f o't.

Tho' I should be the waur bestead, Thou's be as braw and bienly clad, And thy young years as nicely bred Wi' education, As ony brat o' wedlock's bed, In a' thy station.

Lord grant that thou may aye inherit Thy mither's person, grace, an' merit, An' thy poor, worthless daddy's spirit, Without his failins, 'Twill please me mair to see thee heir it, Than stockit mailens.

For if thou be what I wad hae thee, And tak the counsel I shall gie thee, I'll never rue my trouble wi' thee, The cost nor shame o't, But be a loving father to thee, And brag the name o't. "

Lightning was the next, and her foal was a colt. He had the same coat and mane colour as his mother, and despite still being recognisably pony, his face unmistakably reminded me of myself as a baby.

'Do you have a name in mind for the little guy?' I asked, sitting next to her as she fed him

'Yeah, the little guy used to do all sorts of tricks in me, felt like a storm at times, so I've decided to call him Hurricane.'

Last, but not least was Milky way, and she gave birth to twins, as we suspected she might.

One was a filly, and the other was a colt. The filly, who was the elder by about 5 minutes we named Éowyn and so it only made sense that we should call her brother Éomer.

And so began my journey of fatherhood. I was on paternity leave from both of my jobs which was a generous six months. I received a retainer of 800 bits each fortnight fro Gentlemen for Mares as an incentive to stay on their books and not leave the company.

Three months later, I received word from Celestia that she was going to be giving birth soon, and could I please come to the castle to be present for the birth?

After consulting with my wives, it was decided that I should go alone, and Eiderdown agreed to keep them company.

When I arrived at the castle, I was greeted by the new captain of the guard, Shield Strike.

'Her Highness awaits you in her chambers, your Grace.' she told me as I approached

'Thank you captain, but you may call me Edmund. And you can continue your duties, I know the way.' I replied

The castle seemed almost deserted, and was eerily quiet, my boots echoed loudly as I strode towards Celestia's private chambers.

When I entered, Celestia was lying on her four poster bed, her belly greatly swollen and she beamed at sight of me. She was being fussed over by a small army of servants, doctors and nursemaids.

'Edmund! I'd get up, but...' she trailed off

'It's OK, I'll come to you.' I smiled back

'Edmund, I have wonderful news! I'm carrying twins!' she told me as I sat on the bed next to her

'I thought you might be, but I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong.' I admitted

'Such a gentleman!' she cooed, and pecked me on the cheek

'So, when do you expect to give birth?' I asked her

'Her Highness is expected to foal any day now, your Grace.' one of the doctors cut in

'Wow, really?'

Celestia nodded, 'Would you like to have a feel? They're pretty lively.'

'I'd love to!' I said, and I gently laid a trembling hand on her engorged belly. She was warm, and I had scarcely laid my hand down when I felt, and saw a kick.

Celestia winced, 'Oh, my that was a big one!' she said, trying to allay any fears the physicians may have had.

'Could I ask you to leave us? Edmund and I have some private matters to attend to. Do not disturb us for any reason until I ring for you' she said, and with much bowing, the assorted staff left the room.

'Edmund, I know it may seem like an odd request, considering the situation, but will you please make love to me? I have had such cravings during the last part of my pregnancy, and it would mean a lot to me if you could satisfy them for me.'

I leaned over and kissed her on the nose 'Of course, I'm happy to help.'

'Thank you, you have no idea what this means to me.' she breathed

'Shh! Just relax.' I said as I removed my clothes

I used the time it took to grow hard in foreplay with Celestia's plump white pussy, which was already dripping wet. When I slid my whole length inside her, she let out a muffled moan, and her vagina clamped down hard in waves.

'Did you cum, just from my putting it in?' I asked in awe

'Yes, I've wanted it for so long it felt too good!' she moaned

'Wow, that's so cute!' I said smiling

'Please, start moving.' she cried out softly with desire

'I'm sorry, let's continue.' I replied, and slowly began thrusting in and out of her

Fifteen minutes later, I blew my load inside her tight slit to an approving moan from Celestia.

She whispered a soft 'Thank you.' and then fell fast asleep

On the morning of the third day, Celestia went into labour. I couldn't be in the room because when an Alicorn gave birth, her powers went haywire, even more than during her heat. And with Celestia being connected with the sun, I would have been burnt to a crisp. Only unicorns who could cast a magic barrier around themselves and the room were able to be present.

And so, I was forced to pace back and forth outside the chambers, wincing at every moan and cry of pain. Even though Celestia wasn't my wife in any sense of the word, it killed me that I couldn't be at her side to comfort her,as I had for Milky, Lightning and Octavia.

After several hours of labour, the door opened, and a nurse exited.

'You may go in now your Grace.' she said with a slight bow

I rushed in, and there, on the bed was Celestia, and sleeping by her side were two Alicorn foals. One had the same white fur as her, but with a dark grey, almost black mane. The other had a bright gold mane, and a dark purple coat.

'Our son,' she said softly, indicating the first, 'and our daughter.' she continued, indicting the other.

'They're beautiful!' I whispered enthusiastically, kneeling next to the bed

'I hope you don't mind, but I've chosen the name for our son.'

'I don't mind at all.' I said, gently clasping her hoof in my hand

'Our son represents hope, the greatest hope for the future, and so, I've decided to call him "Estel" from Tolkein.'

'Just like Aragorn's code-name when he was a child.' I said quietly

Celestia nodded, 'Do you want to give him a second name?'

I thought for a moment, and said 'Yes how about Shadowfax? After the king of the Mearas?'

'That sounds lovely, Estel Shadowfax he is then.'

And our daughter's name I leave up to you Edmund.'

I looked down at my daughter, and marvelled at her mane, it looked like purest gold, like the first rays of sun bursting over the horizon.

'Goldenmane, we will call her Goldenmane.' I said, and a scribe dutifully wrote down that name on a sheet of parchment along with that of her brother. it was whisked off to I don't know where.

In the distance, a bell tolled, fireworks were let off and a magically enhanced voice announced: 'Princess Celestia is safely delivered of two healthy foals! Hereby announced are the births of Prince Estel Shadowfax and of Princess Goldenmane!'

A few days later, I returned home to my wives and my other children. I was the happiest I'd ever been in my life.

I shut the door behind me and walked into the living room to find Eiderdown sitting on the sofa.

Good afternoon Eiderdown! Where're the wives and foals? I asked as I hung up my coat.

'They're in the nursery, asleep dear.'

'Goodness Eiderdown, you sound so gloomy! You'd think that someone had died!' I chuckled at my own wit

I turned, and was surprised to see that she had tears in her eyes 'I'm so sorry deary..' she said, and pointed to a small card on the table

'What's this?' I said, and picked it up.

It was a telegram from the Ministry of defence.

'When did this arrive?' I asked

'Only yesterday, a nice young man from the British embassy delivered it. He never explained what it says, but by his expression, I think it is bad news.

'Oh, I'm sure it's nothing.' I said, and with nervousness bubbling to the surface, I opened it.
