"Hey Siver?" Sunrise asked, looking up at he grey mare, lifting her hoof to touch the side of Silver Claws face. Moving the larger mares glasses, Silver looked over.

"Yes Sunny?" She asked closing the scroll she was writing on, scooting it to the side she listened intently.

"How come I never hear you sing? You have a nice deep voice." Sunrise asked, laying on her back, her side pressed against Silver Claws.

"I only sing during important events," Silver Claw answered, "The first night of a new timberwolf, birth of a foal. Important events." She said pushing her glasses up her muzzle.

"They why did you sing to me when we met?" Sunrise asked, resting her head on Silver Claw's foreleg.

Silver Claw chuckled, "because that was the day I met my soul mate. And I couldn't refuse the chance to tell myself it was important." She said leaning down and kissing Sunrise's cheek.

The smaller mares face turned instantly red, "Silverrr," she whined burying her face into the mare coat, "stoppp." She said, Silver Claw laughed nuzzling the top of her head.

"Wise colts say, only fools rush in" Silver sang flicking her long tail so it laid over Sunrise like a blanket.

"But I can't help, falling in love with you." Silver finished nuzzling the back of Sunrises head, "now get some sleep, big day tomorrow."

She opened her scroll and started writing again, letting the Pegasus buried in her side doze off peacefully.

"You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine."

Silver Claw stood under a blossoming willow tree, the soft petals falling on the ground. She could barely notice the small group of ponies in rows in front of her.

She was wearing a simple necklace of scarlet roses, and a crown made of the same flower. Around her hoof was a silver bracelet, a emerald was embedded in the center.

She was waiting for Sunny, she was nervous. Her best colt, Broken Scripture, stood next to her in a comforting manner. He was he best at calming with no words.

Then the music started, and Sunrise Victory Shine, walked down the isle made of soft moss. She was wearing a dress that could only be described as dawns first gently glow, and flowers in the midst of their bloom. 

As calm as Silver Claw looked, she nearly rolled over like a fainting goat. She pushed her glasses back up her muzzle again, she looked at Sunrise as she approached.

Around Sunny's hoof was a golden bracelet, a sapphire was embedded in the center. The veil over her face was thin and see through, tradition as it prevailed. Many ponies of different colors and species lined her rows, Silver Claw wasn't stupid though, she could smell the changlings in the rows of Sunny's family.

Then again hers consisted of more wild creatures and griffins than actual ponies. Which was just her brother and his boyfriend.

Sunny walked up the little stool set up so she didn't have to look up at Silver Claw he entire time, as soon as she made it up. Broken Scripture stepped up to the alter, as a high priest he could marry ponies.

In Silver Claws opinion, as good as Scripture was with services, it still took far to long to go through their vows. Durning which she reached up and flipped the veil out of Sunny's face.

"You ready?" Silver Claw asked softly, touching their foreheads together. Sunny's hair was braided back neatly.

Sunny smiled, "Are you?" She asked, looking at Silver Claw with warm brown eyes.

Silver Claw smiled, "I'm the one who perposed." She joked softly, trying not to raise her deep voice over Scriptures softer but deeper voice.

"Baby you're like lighting in a bottle," Silver Claw sang softly under her breath, Sunrise smiled at her relizing the significance of her singing, "I can't let you go now that I got it."

Silver Claw reached up brushing hair out of Sunrises face, "And all I need is to be struck by your-," she lowered her hood to hold on to Sunrises, their bracelets gently clinking against each other, "-Electic love~"

"...you may now kiss the bride-s." Broken Scripture said taking a step back, allowing room for the two to have their moment.

Silver Claw smiled leaning down still to kiss the shorter mare, which Sunny happily returned it seemed.

"You make me happy
When skys are grey"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Just breathe Sunny," Silver Claw said nudging the yellow pegsus' neck, smelling sweat and the sweet smell she always seemed to carry.

Sunrise cried out holding Silver Claws hoof tightly, "I-i thought the first time was bad!" She said, a nurse was shuffling around her, making sure her vitals were steady.

"It's okay Sunny, you're doing great." Silver Claw said calmly, trying to coax Sunrise through the rest of labor with minimal pain.

It wasn't going exactly as planned.

The doctor another friend of Silvers, Sunny Vodka, didn't want to give the smaller Pegasus the epidural in fear that it would react horribly to her changing half.

"Just breathe," Silver Claw tried to assure, of course she wasn't sure what if felt like. Maybe having a manticore chew on her stomach? That was pretty painful.

Sunrise glared at her, "No, really? I thought I was breathing, was I holding my breath the past four hours? No? I didn't think so!" She said with tone of sarcasim and hostility.

Silver Claw chuckled softly, then Sunny grunted and cried out again, before her body relaxed. She panted, "That was the last push," Sunny said softly, Silver brushed her mane out of Sunny's face.

The large stallion Sunny Vodka held a small filly in his forelegs, "Congrats comrades," he said with his thick accent, "It's a girl." He said handing it off to Sunrise.

Sunrise took the filly into her hoofs with great care, cradling her gently. "Hey there Hidden Instinct." She said, the fill was a pale golden color and her mane was a pale brown.

Silver Claw chuckled, "So you're not letting me name this one?" She asked, rubbing Sunrises side gently, "Primal Soltace wasn't a bad name." She said

Sunrise stuck her tongue out at Silver Claw, still calming down with labored breathes. "I just wanted to name her, you probably would've named her Clouded Spirit or something like that." She with a small smile.

"That would've been a perfectly acceptable name," Silver Claw said, nudging Sunny's neck.

Sunrise giggled although still breathing heavier than normal, "Sing for her," she said, "She needs to know her Mama's voice." Silver Claw laughed softly, but looked down at Hidden Instinct and cleared her throat.

"If we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it on to you." Silver Claw sang nuzzling Hidden Insticnt, "We'll give the world to you, and you'll blow us all away." Hidden Insticnt giggled reaching up and touching Silver Claws muzzle.

"Someday, someday." She said licking the filly gently, "You will blow us all away." Sunrise smiled at Silver Claw, kissing her cheek gently.

"You'll never know dear
How much I love you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mama?" Spirit Whisper asked softly, sitting next to Silver Claw, "Why did they leave us? First Mommy, then Primal and then Hidden. Did I do something wrong?" He asked.

Silver Claw smiled sadly at her littlest colt, nuzzling the top of his head. "No love, it was just their time. You got Mama's long life, Mommy and your sibling were just getting too old for this life." She said.

That was as simple as she could put it, all it meant was she was a vessel. And she wasn't allowed to die, she couldn't die of old age. And neither could Spirit Whsiper, the vessel of her alter egos own child.

"Mama, how come I never hear you sing?" Spirit asked, "You used to sing so much, but now it's hard to get you to talk anymore." He said in his soft tone

Silver Claw smiled softly at him, standing up she ran her hoof over three of the jeweled and carefully tended to headstones one last time. "Maybe I'll sing a little while we're on our trip." She said holding a hoof out to Spirit Whisper.

"Why are we leaving Mama?" Spirit asked taking her hoof to help himself up, "I like it here, are we leaving like everyone else?" He asked.

"Yes, it's our time to move on now, we've stayed here too long." Silver Claw said wiping away a small tear from her eyes before it could fall. Before Spirit Whisper could question why she was crying.

"Please don't take
My sunshine
Away"
