It was the day. Kyle had asked Rogelio to be alone with their egg as it hatched because he wanted it to be as intimate as possible, even though the healers were there to make sure that everything was going alright. The healers had adviced Kyle and Rogelio to not touch the baby until it was out of the egg by itself because the baby had to do it alone.
"I wonder if he will like me" commented Kyle seeing it move a bit.
Rogelio hugged him. He was proud of Kyle for everything that he had been going through, for the way he had handled it. He complimented Kyle and caressed his hair.
"I love you too" replied Kyle.
Outside, Lonnie and Scorpia were waiting.
"Oh man, I am scared" said Scorpia "I hope the baby is alright"
"Don't worry, the healers said that the baby was fine" said Lonnie.
"I wish we could experience what they are experiencing now" said Scorpia.
"We will soon, I am sure"
Lonnie didn't feel ready to tell her.
A few hours later the girls were called in.
When they entered Kyle was holding a beautiful lizard with Etherian eyes, matching his own. The baby had blonde hair and human coloured skin in some parts of his body, but was mostly green like Rogelio and had a tail. The baby was extremely cute.
"Guys" said Kyle "come meet our son. His name is Veles."
That night Lonnie and Scorpia were still talking about the baby.
"He's gorgeous" said Scorpia.
"Yeah... Scorp"
"Uh?"
"Take care of me" said Lonnie, suggestive.
Scorpia kissed her and hugged her tight.
"Beautiful" said Scorpia "we'll have beautiful babies"
"I, uh, am sure" said Lonnie.
"Oh don't worry about carrying it! I want to do it myself!" said Scorpia "I think that I have to fo it myself to feel it more real"
Scorpia didn't know it, but these words had hurted Lonnie deeply.
"Scorpia" said Lonnie "let me touch your tail" it wasn't a question, it wasn't an order either.
"Why do you want to touch my tail?" asked Scorpia getting defensive "is my tail"
"I am curious"
"No, you can't touch it" said Scorpia.
Lonnie, understanding that that wasn't going to happen just left the room, no more words.
