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: giggles and sighs I suppose so.

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.
