Now that the stress of worrying about Dark Star's condition had passed, everyone had time to chat about other subjects. It was a good thing they had Slipstream there; she always had a knack for changing the conversation into something...well, into something else really. Thunder Cracker had an interesting point on how the newborn could be a more androgynous type, but that only managed to bring a chuckle everyone else's lips in the process.
"I know it could be cute and all, but aren't the chances of that happening supposed to be really slim?" Hummingbird wondered aloud.
"I wouldn't be opposed to it though" Slipstream commented with a smirk. "Having another tomcolt or a pretty boy around the house'd definitely make things more interesting" she added a moment later.
Meanwhile, Jazz was just looking the periwinkle twins in the eye with the same old, permanently calm expression.
"Ladies, I assure you it's nothing dangerous. This is basically pain medication, he'll be fine within the coming hours" he told them in his same old cool voice.
Once that was settled, Slipstream took a glance at Stratosphere and noticed a look in her eye, like she was about to say something. Of course, when she suddenly bolted towards a bit on the floor. Looking up, there was actually a doctor coming out of the ER who had the same idea, but stopped a moment before he would've crashed into the winged pylon. Softspark took notice of this as well, getting up and trotting over towards the medic with a worried expression.
"Is...Is she okay in there?" she asked nervously, clutching one of her legs with a hoof as she bit down on her lip.
"Mhmm, she's perfectly fine. In fact, a few minutes ago, she had just finished up" he told her a he leaned down to eye level. Almost as if on cue, Slipstream bolted over towards him, her hooves wrapped around his face as their eyes were practically touching each other.
"Wait, so that means we can go in and see her now?" she questioned, the doctor actually being lifted right off the ground as he struggled to nod. Slipstream excitedly dropped him-which resulted in a faceplant onto the linoleum floor-before touching down and skipping in place, practically squealing all manner of her excitement everywhere.
"Just don't do any of that, alright?" the doctor warned, Slipstream giving him a proper solute before carefully trotting over towards her roommate.
"Well, we should get a good spot to see this too, don't you think?" Jazz offered as he stood and went over to Sun. Hummingbird and Softspark also trotted just behind them, eager to see the new foal as well.
After carefully positioning themselves, the party soon saw an absolutely precious sight. Dark Star's mane was an absolute mess, but she was happily clutching a cooing infant in her arms, one that was wrapped in a dark yellow wrap. Right away, Slipstream went right up to her and the little miracle.
"Wow..." she breathed, getting a look at the newborn foal. It was a tiny, dark-pelted unicorn with yellow eyes, and a short bit of black-and-red hair serving as a small mane. Softspark and Hummingbird merely cooed and leaned close together, completely in awe of the sight before them.
"Ooh, what's the gender of it?" Sun asked, still a little loopy.
"She's a filly" answered a doctor with a smug grin on her face, bumping a hoof against another doctor in the room.
"Did you think of a name for her yet?" Jazz wondered, wiping a small tear from his eye.
Dark Star nodded and her eyes glowed brighter. "Nightingale" she all but whispered.
