(Moons pass after the events that transpired in Big Mac and Sugar Belle's lives that brought them back together. With Party Banner's help maintaining the bakery in the Village, Sugar Belle was able to move to Ponyville permanently and she and Mac built a new home on the farm for themselves, and it wasn't long before they went to Mayor Tiara to be married.
Despite being happy again, Big Macintosh still felt a little guilt whenever he thought about how Cheerilee was doing, and whether or not this was what Gala would've wanted for him.
One afternoon while Big Mac was coming home from the Marketplace, he heard a loud exclamation coming from inside)
Mac: races inside dropping his bags Sugar Belle? Was that you?! Where are you?
Sugar: I'm.. I'm in here! *her voice carries weakly, as if she was having trouble breathing, with a crack in her voice*
Mac: *hears her from the bathroom and opens the door to see her staring at the sink* Sugar Belle? What is it? Are you ok?
Sugar: I um, I'm fine.. I think? I don't know.. I don't know how this is possible?!
Mac: Sugar? *takes a few steps closer, concerned*
Sugar: Big Mac.. I'm pregnant! *shows him the test with a clear positive*
Mac: What!? *gasps staring at the test, his eyes roll back and he blacks out*
—
Sugar: Big Mac? Mac sweety, can you hear me?
Mac: *Starts to come to and shakes the blurry vision away, then slowly sits up rubbing his head, then looks back at the test now on the floor, and back at Sugar Belle* How.. How is this possible?
Sugar: I don't know, Big Mac.. I didn't think I was able to have kids again! I thought I was too old.. Maybe it's a false positive?
Mac: Do you… you know, feel pregnant?
Sugar: Well, kind of.. I mean, I've been dizzy lately and a little more irritable than usual; And that was how it was in the beginning when I was pregnant for Popper… That's what drove me to take it in the first place, just out of curiosity.
Mac: Maybe take another one? Just to make sure?
Sugar: Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. That one was sitting in my bag for quite a while, maybe it's just expired or something.
(A few hours and a new test later)
Mac: It's still… positive.
Sugar: I can't believe it.. Big Mac, it's a miracle! *hugs her husband, crying now*
Mac: *tears swell up in his eyes too as he hugs his wife. Even though the news of their miracle baby brought a little joy into Big Mac's day, he still couldn't help but thing: What would Gala say? And then his smile faded and he let go*
Sugar: Big Mac? What's wrong?
Mac: … It's just, I already did all this. I've done the father thing, and I don't know if I can do it again.. What if- *stops talking, tears increasing*
Sugar: Is this about Gala Blossom?
Mac: *turns away* I'm just.. I can't help but wonder if she would've seen this as replacing her. Would she accept this?
Sugar: *frowns and hugs her husband around the neck* If I know Gala, she is watching us right now, Big Mac.. And I think she would be happy for us.
Mac: You do? Why's that…
Sugar: Because she loves you, Macintosh. She may be gone, but she's always with us. And I know she'll want you to be happy and live your life. And if fate decided to give us this miracle, I believe that could be her way of giving us her blessing. Who know's, maybe she's with us right now?
Mac: *chuckles a bit and sniffs back his tears* Yeah.. maybe. I just hope she knows I will always love her, and that she can never be replaced.
Sugar: She knows, Big Mac.. She knows. *kisses his cheek* And this miracle of ours will also know what a brave and beautiful heart his or her sister had. I promise, we will get through this.
Mac: I love you, Sugar.
Sugar: I love you, Mac!
(They hug again, letting the tears fall; but both smiling the biggest smiles they've felt in a long time.)

That's right, you read it; I plan on including a SugarMac OC into the Pandaverse!
So I wanted to draw a heartwarming picture of the excited new parents being watched over by none other than; Gala Blossom herself.
Gala being there in spirit is symbollic of her approval towards the new baby and she is, in fact, giving them her blessing to start over.
In fact, Gala is going to become the new baby's Guardian Angel. So not only does she approve, but she will also be there to protect and guide the little one and watch over him/her and the rest of the Apple Family.
