Ch. 22: Laid
written: 4/8/20
Another couple of weeks later Lygia's cramps were at their worst and as a result she was becoming much more difficult to deal with. Her demands and cravings were
getting harder to satisfy. This was starting to drive Marcus insane, but he knew as a good mate that he had to love and care for her regardless of her seemingly
abusive behavior. "I need food now!" demanded Lygia. Marcus sighed. "Alright meu amore." he replied. "I'll bring you something to eat." "Be quick about it!" yelled
Lygia as he took off. "Just remember what Dad told you." Marcus told himself. "After Lygia lays the eggs you both will look back on it and see that it was worth the
pain." He headed over to the mango tree to find a good mango for Lygia.
At the mango tree Marcus picked out the most ripe mango he could find and he was about to take off. Then he felt a wing on his shoulder and turned around. It was
his Mother. "Oh hi Mom." he said trying to hide his pain and stress. "Marcus, I'm your Mother and I know you're having a hard time dealing with Lygia's pregnancy,
but you've gotta understand all the mean stuff she's doing to you is not really her." explained Pearl. "I know Mom it's the pregnancy hormones." replied Marcus in
understanding. "Yes and the more difficult she is to satisfy the stronger her pregnancy hormones are becoming which means the closer she is to laying her eggs."
Pearl continued. "Well then, I've got to go right now Mom because her pregnancy hormones have gotten so strong that I've almost gone insane." said Marcus. Then as
if on cue they both heard cry of pain at which Marcus dropped the fruit. "Seems like you were right." said Pearl. "Now go, go, go!"
Meanwhile, back at the nest Lygia was in extreme pain. "MARCUS HELP ME!" she cried. Just then Marcus zoomed into the hollow. "What's going on?!" he inquired.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK!" exclaimed Lygia. "I'M IN SEARING PAIN BECAUSE I THINK I'M GOING INTO LABOR!" "Don't worry meu amore." said Marcus as he grabbed
her wing. "I'm here for you, just lie back and this will be over before you know it!" Lygia squeezed out the first egg. "AAGGHHH!" she cried. The next egg wasn't any
easier. "OHHH!" she screamed. "MARCUS I CAN'T DO ANOTHER ONE!" "Yes you can!" he shouted with encouragement. "HOW?!" she cried as the final one began
coming out. With quick thinking Marcus leaned and kissed Lygia with such intensity that she forgot all about the pain. Once they parted from their kiss the two of
them looked in the nest to see the last of the three eggs was finally out and the pain of Lygia's labor was finally at it's end. Lygia turned to Marcus gave him a kiss as
she snuggled up gently on the eggs to keep them warm. Marcus snuggled up right next to her and they both decided to get some rest.
