Clean Up

6/7/2023

After all the little ones had hatched, Saphira took them all up onto the bed with her...

...so Winston and Willie could clean up the nest and all the egg shells...

"These are a lot lighter with nothing in them."

Winston found it hard to keep his mind on the task at hand...

He was constantly distracted....

...and kept looking over at the little ones...

....and his heart filled with love...

...as he realized, all those cute little baby dragons were HIS children...

..and that he was their Dad.

the Last Dragon

6/6/2023

Everyone was watching the last egg, waiting for it to hatch...

"This one is certainly taking its time."

"It looks like the shell is starting to crack...

...and then suddenly there he was....

Another little boy...."Papa!"

"Mama!"

He looked around at his siblings....

And their family was complete.

"Mama??"

Meanwhile, back at their lair, Willie was busy knitting and watching the dragon eggs...

The eggs seemed to be getting a lot harder to turn over...

Then in the middle of her knitting, she suddenly heard the cracking of an egg....

One of the babies had hatched!

"Mama??"

Right at that very moment, Winston came in, returning from dinner....

"Papa??"

"Why, hello there! Yes, I'm your Father."

Saphira came in just in time to witness the second baby hatch, and lifted him and her daughter out of the nest....

..just as the third baby emerged.

It was another little girl.

"Mama?"

"Yes sweetie."

"I'm your Mom, and these are your brother and sister."

Dragons on Holiday

6/4/2023

Winston and Saphira were having a wonderful time together...

"This has been really nice, and I'm having a wonderful time, but I have a feeling that we really need to go back home."

"And if it's still okay, and our eggs haven't started hatching yet, then I'll make us a nice dinner."

"That sounds great. I'd love that!"

So after checking in with Willie, they flew to the King's castle, where Winston had kitchen privileges, and he put together a lovely meal...

"This has been a nice little break."

"It sure has."

"But I suspect we won't be able to do this again for a while."

"So, lets drink a toast to us..."

"To having found each other..."

"..and to starting a family."

"A toast to parenthood, and the start of a whole new adventure!"

Willie was back at the dragon lair, egg-sitting again. She had offered to watch their eggs, so Winston and Saphira could take a little holiday together for a day of two, before their little ones hatched. She brought along some more knitting to work on.

She was content to just spend the day knitting and turning the eggs...

It wasn't getting any easier to turn the eggs, and she noticed that the sounds coming from inside seemed to be getting louder, and the eggs were moving a bit more. The baby dragons could hatch any day now.
