The children had been helping their Mom with Winston's eggs, and had been taking turns carefully turning them over twice a day...
One day, as she was turning an egg, Paige thought she heard a small sound...
"I can hear something too. And this egg seems to even be moving a bit..."
Monica came over, "That's strange."
"Do you think maybe it's starting to hatch?"
"I sure hope not."

"Just put them back down carefully, and I'll send for Winston."
Winston had just returned from up north with the day's letters, when he heard that the Queen needed to see him.
"We have noticed little sounds coming from inside the eggs, and they even seem to have started moving a bit..."
Winston picked up an egg to listen...."You are right. I can hear something too."
"Does that mean they are going to hatch now?"
"Not necessarily. Saphira tells me that baby dragons can start moving and making little sounds a few weeks before they actually hatch. There's no way to know exactly when that will be, but it could be soon. So it would be a good idea for me to take them back home to our lair. Because you really don't want them to hatch here."
"No, I don't suppose that would be wise. But do you have someone to watch them at home?"
"Yes, Willie has offered to help me out if I really need someone." So he carefully put the eggs back into his cart...
The children were rather disappointed to see the eggs leave.

Especially Ringo. He'd secretly been hoping they would hatch here, where he could watch.
Then Winston covered the eggs, and started out. "Thank you so much for looking after them for me. I really appreciated it."
"Maybe after they hatch...and have been trained a little...I can bring them back and introduce you to each other."
"Yes, we'd like that."
And he took his eggs home...
