Egg Births

Silver Lining just sighed happily as she cuddled in bed with her newborn eggs, sweat beading out of her as she let her jelly tail wrapped around them protectively, secreting jelly as she did so to feed the eggs. “…I’m glad we were able to help you, but my goodness that was a surprise,” the carpenter said, patting his forehead with a cloth.

“Father? Will the eggs be okay? I don’t know if the eggs of Dropzillas will…” He smiled at his daughter and patted her on the head.

“It’ll be alright, Velvela, love, Dropzilla eggs are much hardier than you take it for. Ah, where is your friend, Silver Lining? Is he still nervous? I’ll go get him.”

“Father, I’m sure it’s-“ Velvela sighed as the man got up and went out of the room, adjusting his spectacles as he did so. She adjusted her own glasses as she patted Silver on the head. “Are you alright? Are you happy?” she asked.

I am… Silver thought to herself before smiling and nodding in affirmation. She took her master’s daughter by the hand and held it for a moment as she stared at her beautiful, pink eggs. Filled with the Queen’s love…and birthed by her. Born from the jellies of their “fathers” and her own jelly and the large amount of love she felt during that time when… She blushed and giggled to herself silently as her tail curled up around the pink eggs even more. One looked slightly smaller than the other, but only just. That was most likely hers and Shadowy Servant’s. The other, she was sure, was from Nan…

“Ah, I’m here, you alright? Not disturbing?” Shadowy asked as he darted into the room, looking rather flustered and worried. She nodded as she slipped her hand away from Velvela and held out her hand to Shadowy. His gloved hands immediately clasped it.

“You’re eager to get things done as ever, I didn’t think he’d start scrubbing the floors out of nervousness,” Faigel laughed as he reentered the room.

“Must work, otherwise not a good place for babies. Ah, not that it’s not safe or dirty, just…wanted more clean. Yes. More clean.” The man just laughed and shook his head as he watched the nervous young man cling to Silver’s hand tightly. “How are babies? Okay?” She rolled her eyes before nodding, slathering jelly on top as it sank into their shells. They were practically glowing with health. He smiled gently as he reached out to place a hand on the smaller egg. “That’s good…will take care, with all my heart…” he murmured. She moved his hand to place it on her cheek and they shared a smile, ignoring the fact her master was looking on proudly while his daughter was trying not to squeal excitedly.

“…We’ll keep them safe, don’t worry. They’ll be lovely children for sure,” Faigel murmured, “Come, Velvela, let’s leave these two alone, shall we?” The girl nodded and the humans left, letting the two Dropzillas be at peace with their new eggs. What a beautiful life to cherish…
