Chapter 4 Halloween.
Bryant POV.
Its Halloween night. I am sliding my shirt down over my very large belly which is wrapped in a handmade belt that I stitched before this very sucessful pregnancy. I went into the kitchen of our warehouse in the city to make sure that we had enough candy for any trick or treaters that came by that night. I went into the bedroom to see how Leo and Ryu were doing. Ryu still hadn't hatched yet and Leo was getting nervous.
"Why hasn't he hatched yet?" Leo asked as he kept pacing the room.
"I think its because you're too stressed out." I told him. Leo came closer to me and put his hands on my belly. He began to kiss my neck and shoulders.
"I am a bit stressed." Leo told me as he began to rub my stomach.
"Am I helping you relax?" I asked him.
"Yes. Your scent is relaxing. It's stronger too than before." Leo pointed out.
"Probably because I'm still pregnant. And my magic has been known to enhance some things."
"Mmm. I've noticed your weight going up and you using your magic more. Is everything Ok?" He asked.
"I've been feeling more out of it this month. Donatello told me that my body is needing to store up more energy before December." I said as I noticed a few cracks forming in the egg.
"I think he's ready to come out." I said as we both gathered around the egg only to begin watching and waiting. It was a few hours before the first shard of the eggshell broke off. I gathered the shards that followed it and kept them aside for grinding up later to help Leo and I regain strength. We watched as Ryu pushed himself out of the eggshell; only to see that he was wrapped in a leathery pod. we could only see his face. He looked like Leo if he were a newborn. Ryu had his brown eyes and the same cute scowl that I have when I just wake up or exposed to bright light. Ryu reached out for Leo's face and touched it. I left the room to let the both of them bond for a while. I knew already that I had the 'magic touch' with infants and babies. Leo also knew that I needed to take care of myself for a while and that I would help care for Ryu when I could since I was in my last couple months of my pregnancy.
I hope everyone out there has a safe and Happy Halloween.
