Mighty Future Queen

"Oh my goodness!" Princess Celestia gawked at the newly hatched grub, fresh from the remains of her dripping egg. The baby babbled quietly and dribbled a little, and the drool hissed and burned as it pooled on the carpet.

"She's so cute!"

"Indeed." Chrysalis lifted her chin proudly. "You are lucky, Celestia-our union has produced a very handsome heir. For a moment I worried about producing a cross-breed, but she is healthy, and her acid glands are already salivating, as is typical of a changeling infant. Although Princess Iridescence is but a grub, I know that one day she'll be a fine Queen, and rule the kingdom with a iron hoof-"

"I'm gonna call you 'Bugaboo!" Celestia cooed, ignoring Chrysalis's monologue entirely to nuzzle her snout against her baby's tummy. The little grub squealed with laughter, kicking with her not-yet-developed hind legs. "Who's the cutest little princess in the world? You are, yes you are!" Under the affection, the newborn giggled and happily spat a gob of poisonous green acid at her mother, which Celestia nonchalantly dodged. "...Nice try, Junior, but you'd better work on your aim." The Sun Princess teased. "My little princess bugaboo." She snuggled her baby close.

"Iridescence." Chrysalis corrected.

"Bug-a-boo." Celestia corrected back with a pleasant smile, emphasizing each syllable.

"Princess Iridescence." Chrysalis repeated, frowning.

"Irie-dearie." Celestia lilted back.

"...You're going to ruin our daughter with your horrible coddling." Chrysalis groused.

"Yes. Yes I am. I'm going to spoil her rotten and snuggle her all day and night. And there isn't a thing you can do to stop me."

"And...and then she'll become your little accomplice of...of awful pony love." Chrysalis said, with growing horror. "And someday you and her will both serve to annoy me."

"That's the plan, dear." Celestia kissed her wife's cheek. "Starting right now. By royal decree, I command you to curl up with me and Bugaboo for double mommy snuggle time. Look at this little face, Chryssy." Celestia held up their baby in her hooves, imploring Chrysalis to look at their daughter's pleading eyes and chubby cheeks. "I know you can't resist it." Celestia fluttered her own eyelashes, to maximize the charm.

"...I can't." Chrysalis admitted quietly. Glancing around to make sure nopony else was in the room, she heaved a weary sigh, and bravely resigned herself to her fate, snuggling under Celestia's wing, close to her daughter.

"Hehee." Celestia smiled. "I love you."

"Hnng." Chrysalis shut her eyes, powerless against the Sun Princess' never ending assault of ruthless warmth, love, and tolerance. "I...ahem. I...love you too. I suppose." Chrysalis mumbled back, hoping Celestia wouldn't hear, but of course the Princess' sharp ears caught it, and Chrysalis found herself (and tiny Princess Iridescence) suddenly under attack by a barrage of alicorn kisses.
