The Babies

Who knew I could get pregnant right out the gate or that it would be with dragon eggs. But here I am, four weeks pregnant with eggs. I only carry them in me for the next three weeks and then i will deliver them and they will go to the nesting room where all of the gold and jewels are. The gold and jewels help hide their power while they incubate in the heat of the room and grow. Me not being a dragon doesn't allow carrying of the eggs and birth to happen normal, so we have to do it this way. I am still not entirely sure how to react to the fact I am carrying eggs but, I am happy I won't lie about that. Marcus is wonderful and has been nothing but amazing this whole week since we met. That is another part I am having troubles with a little and I need to talk to him about all of this. I know he will understand considering we both discussed taking it slow, my body had other plans and Atlas was super gentle too but we still need to talk about this. We literally have known each other and been near each other a little over a week. We have also claimed each other and mated in that time, I have not even moved in yet and I have nothing of my stuff of comfort with me either. Being taken care of is not even a problem, Marcus won't let me do anything right now and protection and stability is all around me.

As I sit here and think about all of this on the couch, the front doors burst open and in walks my father with Marcus and some of the other members from our coven. They have my clothes, furniture, and stuff from my room at home. They take the first load upstairs to my room and come back for more, that is when my father stops and lets me know what is going on. He knew i would be missing my stuff, he also being a vampire knows I don't sleep so having my things will make nights better for me when Marcus is wore out and needs his sleep. I just start crying because one, my father knows me so well. Two, my mate knew i needed more than just him while i adjust and he didn't even argue about anything or try to discuss it with my father. He simply arranged for it all to be picked up and brought to the house here and for that I care for him even more. I never said anything and me not being like him we can't read each other minds, that I know of any ways. I just sit on the couch and watch as my whole life is brought to the place I now call home. Honestly I thought I would be way more torn about this but, I am truly happy right now. Two weeks to go and I will get to see how many kiddos we have on the way as well. Marcus and Atlas are very excited and my father can't wait to be a grandpa. I am just still slightly weirded out that I am carrying eggs and not babies but, in our world nothing is of the norm.

Marcus comes down and gets me so we can go look at the room and I can arrange it how I want. We get up the stairs and instead of going to either of his or my room he takes me to the double doors at the end of the hall. In over a week these doors have never opened and I was sure it was a private area that we weren't meant to go. Boy was I wrong, those doors opened to reveal the biggest master bedroom I have ever seen. All of my stuff is in the room and it makes it look like I have barely anything due to it's size. All of the stuff that was in Marcus room of his is in here as well. There is a master bathroom that is almost as big as the entire room I was in when I came here, the room it self has tons of space and a full balcony that faces the forest edge. This room alone is like a palace and it's just one room, I instantly go to the closet to start putting my clothes away but, when I open the doors it is already full of clothes that are mine as well as clothes that are brand new. I have an entire wardrobe and it looks like nothing in this huge space. I turn to face Marcus and he has a nervous look on his face. I run to him and hug him tight with a huge smile on my face. He smiles and hugs me back, without even saying a word he knew what i needed. I snuggle into his chest and just let him hold me for a bit because honestly this feels really nice and that's when it happened. I felt movement in my stomach. I jerked away from Marcus and my hand instantly went to my belly. I must of had a scared look on my face because Marcus is looking at me and looks terrified. I tell him i felt movement from the eggs and that is when his face turns from terrified to just blank and all color drains from him. His eyes change color and shape and his fangs come out, Atlas is now on the surface and he looks worried too. He places his hand on my belly and then jerks his head up to look me in the eyes and he feels the movement this time too. In one swift motion he picks me up and runs to the doctors office. In record time we are here and I am in a room waiting for an ultrasound. Once she gets set up and starts we are all shocked to see what is in me. I am not carrying dragon eggs as we all thought, instead there are 3 little babies inside of me. Confused on what is supposed to happen now, the doctor explains a bit.

The room of gold and jewels will be kept because though they look normal on a scan they are part dragon and they will draw strength and growth from the stockpile. I however still only have two weeks left until labor starts and I see what my children look like. I know I am going to love them no matter what, I just am wondering why they are not eggs like lore says they will be.
