Chapter 48: Eggs

Kelly's belly had began to grow much larger due to the eggs which were getting bigger and bigger inside of her.

Kelly had been more careful now since the eggs were quite fragile, she spent most of her time in the nest being cared for by her mate Jameson.

Kelly was now sitting in her nest while Jameson was out looking for food.

Kelly looked down at her pregnant belly and rubbed it softly.

"Don't worry kids, daddy will be back soon."

Kelly looked back up and looked out of the window of the barn as she waited for Jameson.

Soon Jameson returned carrying a meal of some worms and two strawberries.

"Bon appetit my beautiful Kelly." Jameson smiled walking over to her mate.

"Thanks Jamie." Kelly smiled.

She tried to stand on her own but she couldn't manage it, Jameson noticed this and picked up a worm along with one of the strawberries.

"Here you go honey." Jameson smiled.

"Thanks Jameson." Kelly smiled, "But really, you don't have to do all of this for me."

"Yes I do, you just need to relax and stay off your feet." Jameson smiled.

Kelly only rolled her eyes before beginning to eat the worm, once she finished she began to devour the strawberry.

"Could I at least stand up and stretch?" Kelly asked.

"Okay, just be really careful. Okay?" Jameson instructed.

"Okay, okay." Kelly rolled her eyes.

Jameson helped her stand and once she did she felt a small stomach cramp, she let out a small groan and as soon as she did Jameson became concerned.

"Are you okay?" Jameson asked.

"Yeah, its just that- ow!" Kelly cried laying a wing on her stomach. "Jameson... I think they're coming."

"Okay, okay, come on we uh, we need to get back to the nest." Jameson stuttered.

He quickly lead her to the nest and set her down.

"Okay sweetie, breathe."

Kelly began to take deep breaths over and over, surprisingly it did somewhat help.

"Great, you're doing great sweetie." Jameson smiled as he held out his wing for Kelly to take.

Kelly squeezed tightly as she continued to breathe.

"Jameson, it hurts." Kelly said.

"I know, I know, its got to hurt, it'll be over soon." Jameson smiled as he laid his against wing against her cheek.

She managed to form a weak smile as she pushed, tears began to stream down her cheeks.

Jameson raised his wing up and gently wiped the tears away, he then placed his beak against her's as they shared a passionate kiss.

Kelly kissed back even through the pain, as they separated she began to push once again until finally one appeared in the nest.

"You've only got one more, you can do it!" Jameson exclaimed.

Kelly hyperventilated and after a few seconds she made one large push and the final egg fell out.

"You did it Kelly! You laid the eggs!" Jameson smiled.

"I did?" Kelly said catching her breath.

"Yeah, you laid both of them and they're both perfect!" Jameson said before bending down and placing a kiss on the top of her head.

Kelly began to laugh while sighing.

Jameson nuzzled his beak against her's lovingly.

"Well I guess I should keep the eggs warm." Kelly sighed.

"No, don't worry about I'll take care of them, just go to sleep." Jameson smiled.

"Thank you Jamie." Kelly smiled before yawning and rolling onto her side.

"Goodnight Kelly, sleep tight mommy." Jameson said playfully.

"Goodnight daddy." Kelly said in return.

Kelly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep while Jameson carefully sat onto the eggs.

"Goodnight kids, daddy loves you." Jameson whispered.

Well it looks like Kelly and Jameson are one step closer to becoming parents.

P.S. Sorry this one is so short.
