Unplanned Parenthood chapter 6
Maya was finally ready to lay her eggs; five eggs plopped into the nest. The young couple didn't really care if they're all boys, all girls or some of each; all they cared about is that they're healthy. They laid there for hours just admiring the eggs. Soon enough, Topsy came by to see Maya and Zack.
"Hey you two; staring at the eggs won't make them hatch any faster," Topsy joked.
Maya and Zack laughed at Topsy's remark.
"Hi Grandpa; Zack and I were just admiring the eggs," Maya claimed.
Topsy chuckled.
"I know; I was just teasing," Topsy stated.
Maya and Zack chuckled.
Many hours later, Maya and Zack were upset; one of their eggs were cold to the touch.
"I can't believe this; it's so sad," Maya replied.
"I know Maya," Zack said, nuzzling her.
Suddenly, Topsy came by the nest and saw Maya and Zack crying.
"Hey; what's wrong?" Topsy asked.
Maya was crying too much to say anything.
"We have terrible news; one of the eggs died; it's not fair," Zack admitted.
Topsy lowered his head.
"I know exactly what you're going through; Diana was a nestmate to four other eggs herself; she was the only egg to hatch; I was just young like you are; the only difference being was that I was 20, instead of 15," Topsy stated.
"I'm sorry; I didn't know," Zack admitted.
"You couldn't have known; it happened many years ago; 48 to be exact," Topsy stated.
Maya stopped crying and looked at her grandfather.
"To think I was crying about just one egg; you lost almost all of your first batch of eggs," Maya admitted.
Topsy shrugged.
"You have the right to be sad, Maya; at least it wasn't in pain; I'll be wishing your remaining eggs to hatch; see you two later," Topsy said.
"Bye Grandpa," Maya replied.
Moments later, Littlefoot and Cera came by to see how Maya and Zack were doing.
"Hey you two; one of the eggs died," Maya claimed.
Littlefoot inspected one of the eggs and sighed sadly.
"I am so sorry," Littlefoot said.
"Me too," Cera added.
Maya and Zack nodded.
"We still have four eggs to love," Zack said.
The other three nodded in agreement. They all hoped the remaining eggs are able to hatch.
