Disclaimer: I don't own The Land Before Time characters. Only my OC's
A/N: There will be OC's in this story; Littlefoot's parents are together; he will have three nestmates and an older brother. His mom's name is Jenna. Some OC's in this chapter are Jenna's brother and sister and Littlefoot's siblings. More OC's will make appearances as the story progresses. I decided to change the storylines around so it's not like the movie series. I always wondered what it was like if the dinosaurs were already in the Great Valley as a combined herd.
It was a lovely day in the Great Valley; the bright circle was high in the sky and there was a warm breeze. A family of longnecks are awaiting the hatching of their second batch of eggs. The mother known as Jenna laid down beside her mate Bron; her parents, brother, sister and son all crowded around the nest. They were very happy to be getting four new hatchlings.
"Oh, Mom and Dad; I can't wait to shower these little ones with love," Jenna claimed.
The grandparents laughed.
"We can't wait either, Jenna," Grandma commented.
"Don't worry, Jenna; they'll come out of their shells soon enough," Grandpa remarked.
Jenna chuckled.
"Oh, Dad; you're so funny," Jenna said.
Soon enough, Bron joined in chuckling just like Jenna was.
Moments later, the eggs started moving about in the nest. After a while, they all broke open and the hatchlings crawled out; the hatchlings were revealed to be two boys and two girls. However, the boys were identical; except one of them has greenish-blue eyes like Bron; his name is Zeke. The other boy has crimson eyes like Jenna and her parents; and his name is Littlefoot. The girls are fraternal twins; one of them is colored exactly like Jenna and has her dad's eyes; her name is Sonia. The other girl is colored like Grandma Longneck; and has crimson eyes; her name is Patty.
"Awwwwwwwww; they are beautiful," Jenna claimed.
"I have to admit it; you are right, Jenna," her brother Ajay responded.
Jenna's sister Emma looked down at them.
"This one looks just like you, Mom," Emma pointed to the blue hatchling.
"Oh my; you're right," Grandma responded.
"And the dark brown one looks exactly like you, Jenna," Ajay added.
While the family was bonding with the hatchlings; Eli was jealous. As much as he loved the idea of being a big brother in the beginning; he was now feeling left out. However, he pushed his jealousy aside and also bonded with the hatchlings.
All four hatchlings fought for their brother's love by pushing each other over to climb into his paws. Eli chuckled at that display of sibling rivalry; especially between Littlefoot and Zeke.
"Aw; you hatchlings; there's plenty of me to go around; I have room for all of you to cuddle with me," Eli said.
Jenna and Bron smiled down at their oldest son.
"Our son has just earned Brother of the Year; the hatchlings really love him," Jenna responded.
Bron nodded.
"Indeed; he's already becoming a terrific brother," Bron agreed.
Eli smiled up at his parents; then smiled at his grandparents, aunt and uncle. Moments later, the hatchlings settled down in between his paws and fell asleep.
"Awwwwww; would you look at that?" Bron asked.
The other grown ups smiled happily. Soon enough, the whole family fell asleep.
