"Which one did you say it was?" Lotus asked eyeing each egg. The lantern fish dragon shifted nervously in deep wonders of what his first hatchlings would look like.
"Ohh I can't remember...they all look the same..." Lucy chuckled nuzzling Lotus. "You don't have to be so anxious about it...they'll all be perfect no matter what they look like."
"I know...it's just I can't believe I'm going to be a father..." he smiled nervously.
OOC:
IC: One of the eggs twitched. It wobbled around a little, stilling and then jerking again. You could hear the dragonet inside chipping away at the outer shell, rocking around as much as possible. Cracks webbed through the egg, and the next thing you knew, you could see a pair of round emerald green eyes staring up at you, and a long, narrow snout poked its way out of the egg. The shell crumbled and the dragonet tumbled out, letting out a mewl.
"Oh my god Lucy look at her...." Lotus said in awe over the hatchling.
Lucy let out a laugh before picking her up gently by the scruff and gently placing her in her two front paws. "Hello little one...." she giggled nuzzling it.
"Wow...she reminds me of you with those green eyes..." he chuckled.
OOC:
IC: Ember cooed and shakily squirmed around, flexing all her limbs to get them individually identified. She nuzzled her mothers paw - or it could have been an attempt at an attack, you couldn't really tell - by butting it with her skull.
"I don't think she knows who you are yet," he smirked giving her a gentle shove in the rear with his snout.
"Oh Lotus you know she's just figuring things out..." Lucy then began to give her newborn daughter her first bath. Right when the second egg gentle began to wiggle.
Lotus was the first one to the egg. The egg stilled for several moments before a small beak-like mouth poked from the shell. Lotus then began to pull of pieces of the shell helping the hatchling out of it's shell until it was fully out.
"Here is our first little soldier," he chuckled gently putting him down besides his sister.
Zara stared at his sister with silver eyes for several moments before giving out a small chirp. He then gave her multiple sniffs.
OOC:
IC: She snorted and abruptly raised her head, butting her brother with her skull. It was not hard, but authorative, in a cute way.
Zara gave a yelp before breaking out into tears.
"Oh so she's a fighter...even more like you," Lotus giggled.
Lucy rolled her eyes. She then began to gently nuzzle her son causing him to stop crying and release a soft hurr.
Lotus formed a small puddle of crystal clear water under Ember's feet hoping that she wouldn't feel left out.
Another egg started to crack across the top. A little black claw stuck out, trying to break free from the egg. It broke a flake off shell off and poked it's head through. An ebony black head stuck out from the shell. It made a little noise and continued trying to break free of the shell.
OOC:
IC: Ember noticed the movement and turn her head but just ended up sneezing, causing her to roll onto her back. She wobbled around mewling.
Lotus grabbed her gently by the scruff and placed her by Lucy's stomach where the second egg had begun to hatch. He began to gently move the pieces away from it making it easier for the small hatchling to get out. "Here's our third one..." he said quietly before gently tugging on the dragons scruff pulling him out of the egg.
OOC:
IC: Ember sneezed again, this time sending our a flurry of ashes and flames
The small dragon was black from snout to tail. He opened his murky black eyes and looked around his new home and at his father.
Zara looked at the fire wide-eyed and began to paw at the charred ground. Then, he pawed at his sister in realization as to where it came from.
Lotus smiled upon his second son and picked him up by the scruff placing him by Ember and Zara. "Maybe these two are twins?"
Lucy shook his head slightly. "No, I don't think so...this one has____ eyes while Zara has silver.
OOC:
IC: Ember snorted and wrinkled her muzzle, shaking some ash from her nose and fending off her brother's paws.
Zara let out a playful chirrup before pouncing on his sister.
OOC:
IC: Ember yelped and wriggled, twisting around and finally slithering free. She arched her spine and pounced on her brother, curving around and latching on to him.
Cinon walked up to them and chirped once.
OOC:
IC: Ember looked over and offered her own warbly chirp in reply, releasing her brother and rolling off of him.
Cinon looked all around, chirping at the world.
Zara gave a tiny laugh before cocking his head at Cinon. The dragonet slowly crawled over to him on his belly.
Zachary pulled the door closed as he saw that the wind had slightly kicked up and a few drops of rain had begun to hit the ground. He gave Lucy and Lotus both a pat before closing the door leaving them alone in the birthing room.
