Okay people this is it! The final surprise! It's gonna be really nice for Midnightsky0612 and ShadowSpirit020. You'll find out what it is is the end, and I have a feeling you have no idea what it is. Hope you enjoy.
I really wanted to tell Luna about the eggs. But I promised Toothless I wouldn't, so I wouldn't. I was just so excited for the eggs to hatch, but I knew that it would still be a few weeks, a month at most before Luna even layed the eggs, and then another week for them to hatch. I couldn't wait!
I had even been thinking of names for the hatchling/hatchlings. I had only thought of three so far, and none of them were even good. I knew I should be talking about it with Luna, but I wanted it to be a surprise until she laid the eggs. Then we can talk about it.
Finally, it was only one day until Luna lays the eggs, and I was about to explode with happiness. I feared that my face would give away the surprise, so I mostly avoided Luna. It wasn't hard. She was asking me to get fish for her twenty-four seven so I barely saw her except for when I dropped off her fish.
But it was all worth it.
That night, I woke up with Luna roughly prodding me with her paw.
"Hiccup wake up! Something amazing happened!" She exclaimed.
I got up and saw two small eggs. Both were surprisingly beautiful with dark grey and black stripes, and if you looked closely enough, you could almost see the Strike class symbol.(Okay I have to say it. I am listening to the most perfect song for this chapter while I'm writing. It's Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years." And it really matches both Hiccup's and My feelings. We have both been waiting for what seems like a thousand years for this, and it's finally here.)
"We're gonna be parents!" Luna exclaimed, and wrapped her wings around my neck. I smiled. I had known this for a month, but it still brought a smile to my face know that the time is finally here. And in a week, they would hatch. And we would be parents.
Luna released my neck. "I'm gonna go tell Stoick and Toothless. They're gonna be so excited!"
She didn't even walk five steps when said people(or dragon?) walked in. when they saw the eggs, a smile broke on both their faces.
"Congratulations you two." Stoick said.
'Thanks dad." I said, and looked down at the eggs. "What do you think they'll be? Girl or boy?" I asked.
"Both girls." My dad answered, and we all looked at him.
"How do you know?" Toothless asked.
"Because for dragons if the hatchling is a girl, it's egg is dull in color, while the boy is bright. The night fury has a purple stripe along with one blue. And since neither has that, they're girls."(This goes to all my teachers: HOW'S THAT FOR AN EXPLANATION! BOOYA!)
We stared at him. Funny. We're all night furies, and he just told us how to tell a boy egg from a girl egg. Weird.
After a while of discussing the eggs, Stoick and Toothless left, and me and Luna curled up around the eggs. We had set the eggs in the middle of the moss nest, and we had one of our wings each covering the eggs.
I looked over at Luna and saw her eyes gleaming with pride as she looked at the eggs. We finally had the eggs, and soon they would hatch. We would finally be parents, and we would be happy forever.
. . .
The week surprisingly went by fast. Luna and I talked about what we were going to name them, and we had finally decided on five names. (I ain't telling.)
Finally, the day came and Luna was more excited than me. And I was really excited.
I heard a slight cracking noise, and I looked up to see one of the eggs with a large crack in it. I just had time to warn Luna before it burst open and covered Luna with my wing to protect her from the blast. Once the other cracked open, I lowered my wing and saw two baby night furies, both with their eyes shut. One was a really dark navy blue, while the other was black with small white spots across her body.
We walked toward them, and Luna was almost crying she was so happy.
"They're finally here." She whispered. Suddenly Stoick and Toothless rushed in.
"What happened? We heard the explosion-" Stoick started, and saw the two hatchlings now in Luna's wing.
"They hatched." Toothless said, and lowered his head to sniff them. Luna lowered them down on the ground, and the two waddled about a foot away from me and Luna. They were tiny, only about as long as my tailfin. When one of them got a little too far, and Luna gently picked her up by the tail and lifted her over to where she was sitting. As she started to lick her, the baby gave a small sneeze. I smiled as the other one, the one with white spots, crawled over to Toothless. He sniffed her and the little dragon gave a small squeak in delight.
My father was looking at them with complete pride, and I could easily tell he always knew that this was going to happen from the moment Luna started to feel sick.
After a few more minutes, Toothless asked the question that I've been waiting for him to ask.
"What are you going to name them?"
I looked at Luna and we shared a look. We both knew exactly what we were going to name them.
"That one," She pointed to the one that was a dark navy blue. "Is Shadowspirit."
"And this one," I pointed to the white spotted one with my tail. "Is Midnightsky."
Surprise! I named the two babies after my two fave authors, ShadowSpirit020 and Midnightsky0612. I hope you two like the surprise. Hope you enjoyed and please review!
