2. Her Egg

Miss Queen B: Hello my lovely readers and Happy New Year! I hope you guys are having a better week than I am. I swear I had the same headache since Dec 26th and doesn't look like it's going away soon. Work is horrible right now, my Boss/friend decided to go on vacation after Christmas and left me in charge to get these pile of orders done for New year's eve and of course, I have that one older employee who doesn't want to take orders from someone younger so all hell breaks loose. Ugh. It's been one bitter fight after another after another and it's hard for me to write in a bad mood so sorry for the wait. There's some violence in this chapter because I wrote it when I was pissed off. Anyway Notes:

Note One: Ok, the most requests I got from my reviews and messages are: 3. the love scene aftermath which I already did. 2. An extended version of the Muto and Mosura fight (that will come later on so don't worry, I didn't forget) and 1. My goodness, I can sense the baby fever in the air. Is there going to be a royal baby? lol. Hmm well...

Note Two: the reviews, so many reviews on the first chapter and boy did they make me blush and giggle. I don't mind doing more romantic scenes, I really don't, but I don't want to go overboard either. I always believed too much of a good thing is bad, but again, I will find a nice balance in this story. Thank you so much for the reviews by the way. I'm so glad everyone is loving this story so far.

Note Three: About this chapter: The King is questioning his Queen's egg she's growing in her tummy and remembered the first time he witness her rebirthing cycle. In the flashback part: Although they are together, Gojira is having a hard time getting use to her being around since this is his first relationship. Like a lot of first time relationships, things do start off slow. Also a reminder, back then, Gojira is a younger version of himself so he hasn't reach his full potential when it comes to powers and strength. So things like atomic breath and nuclear pulse haven't' been discovered yet.

Note Four: This still takes place before the epilogue in the Let it Burn story. Enjoy.

Part II

Her Egg

~Don't fall asleep

At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us

Miles ahead of us

All that we need

Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough

Know we're good enough~

~Let me love you by DJ Snake

It was a gentle kick to his snout that woke him up followed by one of her giant wings slapping him in the face. He lifted his head up and shook it to get rid of the grogginess in his head. He huffs and looks down at his little Queen tossing and turning in his arms. Although she was asleep, she was clearly uncomfortable by the way she was making faces and the pinches he was feeling from their connection. She turned again making her wing hit him in the face once more, the soft glow from it made his tired eyes hurt a bit, but he managed to avoid another kick to the face. She was lying on top of his arms so he couldn't push her wing out of the way and had to wait till she moved again. After a few minutes, she moved her wing back and let it fall smoothly on the soft sand before cuddling up closer to him and let out a small, quiet chirp.

He could feel the firm roundness of her belly pressed up hard against his upper chest and looks down at the reason for his sleepless nights. More than a month flew by since she came out of her cocoon and instead of just popping out an egg right then and there she decided to take her time with it. Though he didn't think she would take this long to lay one knowing it was causing her discomfort, mood swings and forcing her to stay in one place so she wouldn't be in any danger, but best not to voice his opinion since he wasn't a female (Plus, she's been very testy with everything lately). He asked her why she wanted to take her time since she didn't with her last egg and she explained it took a huge toll on her strength and powers to grow an egg fast enough to lay before heading over to the city to help him fight the False King. No doubt, if she didn't have to lay an egg, she would have had a better shot fighting off Rodan and still have enough strength to help him out. That was one thing she regret during that fight was her not being strong enough to help out more, but she had no choice. It was like she knew she wasn't going to make it out of there alive and needed to make sure there was an egg to come back to.

Fully awake now, the King stared out at the ocean, watching the waves form and hit the shoreline and the feel of the warm breeze hitting his face. It was nice, but he hated sleeping out in the open like this, but it was the only place his Queen could get comfortable. The soft sand was better to lie down on than the hard ground of their cave and since he didn't want to let her out of his sight,(unless he needed to hunt) he had to sleep outside as well. His little Queen rolled over on her back, crushing her wings a bit and started to kick her legs again. The King move his head away to avoid getting hit and carefully pull out his right arm from under her and use it to bring her legs down. She tried to lift them again, but gave up quickly and fell back into a deep slumber. He stared at the swollen belly as it rises up and down from her calm breathing and place his large hand on it to feel it. It was weird, underneath the soft fur, he could actually feel the roundness of the egg and the tightness of her skin around it.

It seems like no matter how many times he would see her go through this process it still weird him out. Not in disgust or anything bad, it was just odd seeing her "pregnant" only to lay an empty egg so she can be reborn again if needed. He didn't get it and lost count how many times she would explain it and still wouldn't understand. But it didn't matter how it works, he was just glad she can never truly leave him by death. He sighed, wishing he could fall asleep again since he was going to patrol his territory tomorrow, but see no point now. He didn't want to go because he didn't want to leave her alone in her condition, but she told him she will be fine by herself for a day or two. He can't put off his King's duties because of her as she puts it plus he thinks she was doing this as a way to gain trust back between them. He shifted, curling himself around her for more protection and rubbed her belly to relax. She twitched from his touch and giggled in her sleep. She tried to shift again, but he held her in her place by keeping his hand firmly on her tummy.

She started to hum a little tune in her sleep and place her claws on top of his. The breeze hit his face again and he could smell her scent in the air. His brows perk up a bit, her scent was off again, it has been for a few weeks now and he didn't know why. He thought it was because of the egg, but it never change her like this before. It wasn't a bad smell it was sort of sweet and refreshing. It started to overpower his scent not to long ago, but didn't ask her about it since she seems perfectly fine if not better. Her fur was shinier, softer and fluffier than normal. She would spend her day by the shore singing and grooming herself non-stop which was nice to hear and see from afar. She was more tired than usual, resting next to him most of the day and night which again never happened from her previous egg laying times. He's not sure what it is, but something didn't feel right..

He shook his head and let out a big yawn. Why was he thinking so much about the egg, if there was something going on with it she would tell him. It was probably another female thing he wouldn't understand. Rubbing her belly again, he started to daydream the first time he witness her egg cycle….

Do you really have to go?

I have to eat…

But you don't know what's down there…..

000000000

~So go through the darkest of days

Heaven's a heartbreak away

Never let you go, never let me down

Oh it's been a hell of a ride

Driving the edge of a knife

Never let you go, never let me down

Don't you give up

I won't give up

Let me love you, let me love you~

~Let me love you by DJ Snake

(Flashback)

He stopped when his body was half way down in the water and rolled his eyes. I lived half my life underwater, Mosura, there's nothing down there that can scare me. He turned around to give her a firm look. She was sitting by the shoreline with a worried face and drooping antennas.

It could be dangerous….She said with a frown.

You're just trying to stall me from going. He said with a huff. Her needy flaw would come out every time he has to leave her alone to eat or just go for a swim. To him it was a trust issue between them since she would constantly fear he would leave and not come back like the last time. He wishes she would get over that, it was a mistake on his part, but again he didn't know how else to react when she told him she had feelings for him so he ran.

She blushed, I just have a bad feeling, why can't you hunt on land so I can look out for you.

You….look out for me...that's funny. I told you, I hunt better in the water. He said.

Mosura's frown deepens. Just be careful.

Gojira snorted, I will now stop worrying. I would've been done by now if you weren't nagging me so much.

Finally a small smile formed on her mouth, I only nag because I care, my Love. She said, lying down on the ground, letting the light wind make her wings dance in the air.

His mouth twitch from her little pet name she would call him and she waited for him to say something to her. What did I say about calling me silly things like that?

She giggled, What's wrong with me calling you that, it's cute and funny.

I don't find it funny at all. He snorted.

Maybe you need to laugh more than...

He scoffed and dove underwater before she could say another word. The water was clear and full of tiny sea creatures. Some swimming alone while others swim in packs or in families. None of these would make a decent snack let alone a meal, the bigger meat he wanted would hide in the dark debts of the ocean. He swam down till there was no longer light and let himself float there for a minute or two to put his mind at ease. The deep water would always make him feel like he was floating and free. After a while his mind went back to the pretty little moth that was full of life and colors. Mosura can drive him nuts sometimes with all this caring, love and attention because he wasn't used to such treatment. He still not use to her saying how much she loves him because to be honest, he didn't know what he did to gain such a feeling from her. He was always so mean to her and would push her away every time she would get close so why did she love him? He wanted to ask her because no doubt she would gladly tell him, but for some reason he felt like he wouldn't like the results. Last thing he wanted was for her to think so highly of him only to be disappointed or scared if she saw the real him.

They've been together for a few months now and it still freaks him out how much she changed his life. Everything was no longer for one, but for two. Hunting food for two, sleeping together instead of alone and most importantly to him, he was protecting someone else beside himself. That he can handle it was the affection he was having a hard time dealing with. Affection was something he wasn't exposed to when growing up since he's pretty much been on his own since he was a youngling. Unfortunately for him, Mosura was a very affectionate kaiju. He lost count how many times she would sneak in a quick nuzzle by rubbing snouts together, or cuddle close to him when they slept and would be very gentle with her tongue when it came to cleaning up his wounds. She once told him she didn't mind doing that sort of cleaning since his blood taste so good to her. She had a lot of patience which he was thankful for since she didn't seem too hurt when he didn't return the affection. Not that he didn't want to, it just something different, a whole new experience he thought he would never cross in his entire life.

He remember those bright blue eyes staring deep into his as she softly ask him if he loves her just as much as she did. Did he love her? He didn't know what this so called love is supposed to feel like. Before he was kicked out of his pack, he had a few smitten moments and flings with females, but never saw himself settling with any of them. He knew damn well he didn't feel the need to protect or want to have around with them like he did with Mosura. They were more used for shameful, empty sex and left forgotten. He didn't care if he hurt their feelings, it didn't take them long to shun him like the rest of their kind. Definitely not Love. The question came back to his head. Did he love Mosura? He did ask her to stay with him because she made him happy and he didn't feel alone anymore. Is that what love is supposed to feel like? If so why was it so hard for him to show it to her? One reason was him giving her the option to leave if she changes her mind about him and save him a lot of hurt and the other reason was her tiny size and form. She was not one of his kind so he would have to treat her differently.

His kind mate for life and was told when that time comes a courtship is done, followed by a mating ritual which would end with the male marking his female with a bite. The mark will show other suitors she was his and his alone and he wasn't sure if Mosura would handle a painful branding like that. Could she handle mating with him….could they even perform the act in question due to them being different?...

So lost in his thoughts while floating around in the water so freely, he didn't sense something coming towards him. The question of if he loves Mosura just as much as she did was interrupted when something scaly wrapped around his neck for a tight squeeze. He let out a loud gag, causing bubbles to fly out of his mouth. His instinct told him to swim up to the surface only to feel something wrapping around his legs and tail to keep him from going anywhere. He opened his eyes and let his plates glow for light to see dark green scales moving, circling around his chest for another tight grip. Now he couldn't use his arms and it was getting hard for him to breathe. He started to thrash, his tail whipping wildly in hopes to hit the thing that were suffocating him.

Now, now, if you struggle I will just hold you tighter. A sinister voice said.

The loop around his neck tighten, closing off his gills as a sea serpent came into his view with a wicked grin on its' face. The thing was nearly three times his size with razor sharp scales that were cutting his skin. It leaned forward and licked his mouth with its' fork-like tongue.

Tasty, you will make an excellent meal for my mate and hatchlings. I'm surprise to catch such a feast, don't your kind hunt in packs?

The voice sounded feminine telling him he was dealing with a female and no doubt the male is close by. She tighten her grip, not even caring his spikes were piercing her flesh. He couldn't move his neck or arms, making him hard to attack or pull away.

I told you not to struggle. She said, tightening her grip even more on his neck. The last remaining air was forced out of his mouth forming bubbles around them. At the corner of his eye, he could see the male swimming around behind him, increasing his speed over to him to attack. The male opened his jaws wide, he can see the layers of sharp tiny teeth thanks to his glowing back plates and use this as his chance to escape. He twisted his body to the left causing the male serpent to bite the female instead of him. The female roared, loosening her grip on him enough to grab hold of the disgusting creature by the head and flung her towards the male. His body started to sting from all the thin cuts the sea serpent inflicted on him and no doubt was bleeding. He wanted to stay and fight the two lovers, but no doubt the blood will just attract other foes. He quickly swim to the surface ready to hear the "I told you so" speech from Mosura before another attack could happen.

His head flew out of the water and let himself float there for a moment so he can cough up water and try to breathe. He turned his attention to the spot where Mosura should be at and sure enough there she was, standing up with this concern look on her face.

Are you alright? She asked…...My goodness, you're bleeding!

Before he can answer that, he felt something popping out of the water behind him and Mosura screeched. Gojira, look out!

He turned around only to be bitten in the neck by the male serpent and dragged back into the water again. The male's mouth was locked tight on his throat that if he pulled away he could tear a large chuck of flesh off. He grabbed hold of the male's face with his claws, stabbing the thing right in the head with his nails, but it only made the male bite even harder. He suddenly felt the wind knocked out of him thanks to the female ramming her head into his upper chest. In one quick move, she wrapped her body around his again for another tight squeeze. The tight hug force blood to leak out of his neck wound causing the water around them to cloud up red from his blood.

Stop making this so hard and die! The female hissed before biting him in the chest near his heart. The teeth cut through his scales causing him to bleed. He let out a loud roar making bubbles to float up and water to fill his lungs. The light from above suddenly went from bright white to orange and yellow causing him and the male to look up at the surface. He recognized the colors, they were Mosura's wings and most likely she was trying to find him. No, Mosura, you need to leave he thought, struggling from the female's tight grip, but it was no use. They were hungry and they were determined to make him their meal.

The male yanked his jaws away from him, tearing a huge chunk of flesh from his neck and swallow it right in front of him. Everything stopped dead in his mind as his vision in front of him turned a deep red color and could feel the blood filling up his lungs. Gojira stop struggling causing to female to let go of him so he can sink slowly to the ground. He hit the soft ground with a low thud as blood continues to pour from his neck and chest wounds and tried to get up. He could hear the two serpents talking although they sounded so far away due to his head getting light from blood loss.

There's something up there. The male said.

Who cares, we have enough meat that will last us for a while. The female said.

But it's so colorful and no doubt tasty. The male hissed.

Gojira lifted his head up in time to see the male resurfacing only to fall back underwater with a tight hold on Mosura's wing. Mosura's screech was swallowed up by the water and she started to panic. Dammit, she can't breathe underwater! He struggled to get up from the floor, ignoring his critical wounds and swam towards them, leaving a trail of blood behind. The female lunged towards Mosura, biting her hard in the chest and causing her wing to tear off from the male's teeth. His little moth was too busy trying to breathe to fight back and was violently shook by the female. She was thrashing in the serpent's mouth, hitting the giant creature in the head with her claws. Her stinger was out, but couldn't aim well due to the violent shaking. He could tell she was running out of time and needed air.

He was almost close to the females only to be tackled by the male and sent back to the bottom. His back hit the ground hard, feeling his bones pop and crack from the pressure. He felt something cracking in his back and the frustration was getting to him as well as the anger. The Male coiled himself around him again for one last ditch effort to suffocate him, but all he could see was blood pouring from his neck and the female tearing at Mosura's wings with her teeth. Something in him snapped and he could feel a strange power building up inside of him that his plates and eyes started to glow a bright blue causing the two serpent to stop what they were doing. The male even let him go so he can slowly swim away from him. The ground beneath him started to rumble, (Let go of her, you disgusting bitch!) He shouted in his mind.

He didn't know what was going on with him, but he suddenly feel a large, powerful pulse leaving his body, sending a shockwave all around him and towards the serpent mates….

0000000

Everything was a blur to him after that, but somehow he managed to crawl out of the water while holding Mosura in his mouth and collapse the second he felt dry land beneath him. His tail and legs were still in the water, feeling the waves hit them once in a while. He dropped Mosura to the ground, a little too hard he'll admit, but he was bleeding really bad and in a lot of pain. He wasn't even on land for a minute and already a puddle of blood was forming next to his neck and chest. Dammit, dammit, dammit, if he wasn't so distracted from his thoughts he wouldn't have been so blindsided by those two creatures. He looked over at Mosura who wasn't moving. Her wings were torn and there were blood appearing on her white fur from where the female serpent bit her.

Mosura. He called out to her in a weak voice.

He struggled to move his head closer to her and use his snout to nudge her. Mosura, come on, wake up.

He nudged her again this time a little firmer and she started to cough up water from her mouth and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were flickering from blue to gray and she gives him a sad smile. I told you I had a bad feeling. She whispered in a very weak voice.

Real mature, Mosura, kick me when I'm dow- He started to cough up blood which made her head jerked up as reality of his injuries hit her. His heart was pounding and he started to thrash.

She crawled over to him as fast as her injured body would allow and tried to use her body weight to push him over to his side. My love, you need to stay calm or you're going to bleed out. Now move so I can see your neck! She pushed him again using her head and he let himself roll over to his side. He let out a loud gurgling sound and could feel something leaking out of his nose and the side of his mouth. Everything hurts and sting and taste awful.

I can't breathe….

He spat out more blood and could see Mosura inspecting his wounds with a worried face and tears forming in her eyes. He tried to take a deep breath only to feel blood filling his lungs again and some squirting out of his open neck wound. Large droplets splash onto her face, leaving blotchy marks on her white, wet fur. Her eyes started to flicker and the tears poured down her cheeks. The wound is too deep, I don't think I can stop the bleeding. She said tearfully.

What did that suppose to mean. Was he really going to die this time because she can't fix his wounds? His head started to get light again and his vision of her started to blur.

I….feel weird…He said feeling dizzy. He can actually hear his heart slowing down and loud in his head.

Gojira….She called out his name but it sound low and muffled. I need you to stay with me….

I….not going anywhere…..He said, while his eyes started to get heavy. I want to stay….

You need to keep your eyes open….please. She said, shaking him with her claws.

You're making the….pain worse...doing…..that….

This is no time for your smart mouth!

Quit nagging me…..He said, annoyed. I'm dying here!

And I'm trying to save your stupid life! She screeched.

He wanted to bare his blood stained teeth at her, but was too weak to do so. She hesitated for a few seconds, he can tell she was thinking of a plan for one last effort to save him, but what? Despite her fur being wet and covered in blood and sand, she was beautiful, but her eyes were still flickering from blue to gray for some reason. Oh well, at least it was her face he gets to see before he dies. What a shame he couldn't show her how much...she…

Stay with me….She cried out again.

She raised her claw up and stabbed him right in the neck wound. He roared from the pain and started to thrash around again, but she held her place despite how weak she was. A warm sensation started to spread around his neck and he could see a blue light coming from her. Through his tired eyes, he can see her giving him a weak smile, but noticed the colors in her eyes and wings turning a dark gray.

Do you remember where my egg is? She asked, trembling and struggling to keep herself doing whatever she was doing. Where you first met me…..?

His eyes were getting heavy from the blood loss and exhaustion. Island?

She nodded. I need you to live…...find my egg….and you'll….find...me….

She fell to the ground right next to him. He claws reach up and place it down on one of her wings. Mosura…..

The last thing he saw was a bright light covering her body before blacking out….

0000000

He didn't know how much time passed, but when he woke up it was early morning and for a moment he thought he was dead because everything around him was quiet and peaceful. He quickly patted his neck with his claws only to pull away when he touch the raw flesh and hiss. It stung, but for some reason it didn't feel so sereve like before. It somehow went from a deep, fatal injury to a shallow bite mark, but how? He picked himself up from the floor enough to look down at his chest. The dirt clogged up his other injury, keeping himself from bleeding to death after blacking out, but the pain remains. Damn, his whole body hurts. What the hell happened?

He remembered Mosura talking to him and stabbing him in the neck with her claw and- Oh shit, Mosura! He moved his head from left to right quickly to scan his surroundings and didn't see her. Where was she? He told her countless times not to go off alone without telling him and she wouldn't leave him knowing he black out so where did she go?

Mosura? He called out and waited to hear a chirp or a soft melody. Nothing.

He picked himself up from the ground and after a few wobbly steps he regained his balance and stood there. The smell of smoke filled his nose and for some reason it was coming from him. He turned his head far enough to see the smoke coming out of his back plates. It was gently seeping out of the crack along with blue particles. Ok, this is new as well as that power blast he did underwater. Where the hell did that come from? Whatever he'll figure it later right now he needed to find Mosura. He let out a loud roar that could be heard miles away and waited. Again she didn't respond and now he started to worry. She would always respond no matter how far away she was from him. He closed his eyes and recalled her trying to save him and asking him about her egg.

(I need you to live…..find my egg….and you'll…. Find….me.)

Her egg? That was the last thing she told him before blacking out was to find her egg, but why? His eyes grew wide when he realized what she meant by that. She told him long ago that she can live forever as long as there was an egg she can come back into after she died….

She died…..?

His knees nearly buckled from the realization. She died...right in front of him no less. But, but, but she seems alright after surviving that ambush underwater. She was hurt and injured, and trying to save his life….how could she just die so sudden? He shook his head to calm his nerves from this situation. Ok, if she was really gone, she told him to go find her egg and it was on that little island that was very far from here. The thought of going back into the ocean made him cringe since he just fought off two serpents and the salt will sting his flesh wounds, but Mosura wanted him to find her. A little snort escaped his nose, if it was any other female he wouldn't care, but since it was her there was no second guessing. Is this what love feels like? He huffed, hungry, in pain and alone again, he begrudgingly step back into the water, telling himself to stay near the surface and headed out to find the island that was holding her egg.

000000000

It took awhile since the island was far away and he needed to sleep to regain his strength, but he finally made it. He was surprised he remember how to get here since it's been over two decades since the last time he stepped foot on this land. He didn't know how to explain, but during his trip over here, he could hear some sort of pulsing sound getting louder and louder the closer he would get to the island. As if it was a calling giving him directions to his destination. Was it Mosura calling for him, but that wouldn't make sense since she was "Dead" in a way. Either way, it did help and the pulse was so loud and strong it was hurting his head when he stepped out of the water and onto the sandy ground. A large tidal wave flooded the area around him, but he paid no attention to it as he was too busy looking around to make sure there were no other predators around.

The island was pretty much empty beside a human village on the other side that Mosura told him not to go near. They won't bother him if he didn't bother them so he can see why she would leave her egg here of all places. He suddenly felt the pulse coming from the left and followed it without a second thought. After walking around the shoreline for a bit, he spotted something glowing underneath a pile of little trees and vines. He brushed the plants away to see a glowing blue egg pulsing like crazy and slightly moving a bit.

He tilted his head. Mosura?

The egg suddenly stop glowing and went quiet and he felt a sense of relief coming from the round, smooth object. As if the egg knows he's here now so it can stop sending out a signal and finally rest and regenerate. He laid down next to it and had to poke it with his claws out of curiosity. So Mosura was in there? In this tiny little egg? How could she fit her body and those massive wings in something so small? Never in his life did he heard of a female giving birth to herself or a creature coming back to life, but what did he know when it comes to the moth. Most of the time when Mosura tried to explain her powers or the way things work when it comes to her, he would just nod in agreement. How can he argue with her without any back up so if she said she was in the egg then she must be.

Um, so this is...weird…He said followed by a quiet snort. Are you comfortable in there? Part of him wanted to question his sanity since he was trying to talk to an egg for crying out loud. He was pretty sure she couldn't hear him.

Part of him was a little upset with her since if she didn't come near the water when he was fighting she wouldn't have put herself in danger. Other part was upset with himself since he couldn't protect her from harm. If he wasn't so distracted, he would have fought off those serpents before she had a chance to get involved. The sudden fear of her leaving him came into mind. The one duty of a male was to protect a female or hatchlings from harm and he failed her. He warned her being around him will put her life at risk, but she wanted to be with him anyway. After this will she change her mind and if she did will he be able to cope with that. His pride is yes, but his chest tighten from the fear. Resting his head down on the ground, he stared at the egg. I'm sorry….this won't happen again….

A month passed and he was still waiting for the egg to do something. He slept for the most part of the wait, never leaving the egg side unless he needed to eat. His wounds were healing up nicely, but left scars no less. He lost count how many scars were placed on his body from so many bloody fights with strong opponents, but he wore them with pride. A warning to others how much he can endure in a fight so they wouldn't dare come near him. He thought about Mosura and how he could prevent another attack like the last one. He would have to come up with something to show predators not to come near her. A marking can only do so much, that was to tell suitors she was taken and mated, but won't protect her from being food. Well, the marking would be a good start for some protection, he just have to see if she was ready for it. Courtship was easy, but uncomfortable since he can't see himself doing romantic shit to woo a female, (she made her choice to be with him so why do a courtship anyway) it was the mating and the bite that was buggy the hell out of him. That subject has yet to be brought up and he wasn't sure it was because it was still too soon and it made him feel uneasy since unlike empty sex, mating involves emotions and feelings. Or because of the whole different species thing again.

His tail started to wag furiously from all those thoughts roaming around in his head and he felt his face heating up. Feeling uncomfortable again he decided to drop the subject again for now. He suddenly felt something nudging him on his side and turn his head to see the egg moving around and glowing. He got up from his spot and took a few steps back and waited for the egg to hatch. His heart was beating fast from anticipation as the egg crack and saw something pushing its way out of the shell. But instead of a white fluffy moth with giant wings, a small, pudgy, brown looking grub crawled out. With bright blue eyes and covered in sticky slime and silk, the grub looked up at him and gave him a few high-pitch clicks.

Hello, my Love. It said while stretching out her tiny little legs and the smooth armor plates on her back.

He fell on all four and leaned forward to get a better look. Mosura?

Yes. She asked.

He tilted his head a bit, it really was her. He can tell by her eyes, they were the same color blue and the fact she calls him by that silly little nickname. So his beautiful moth would go back into an egg only to have this tiny, squishy, chunky thing come out after hatching?

Gojira, are you alright? She asked, pulling the rest of her body out of the egg to get closer to him. The side of his mouth started to quiver and he clenched his teeth tight to keep the laughter from coming out of his mouth. His whole body started to shake and could tell she was picking up the giggly vibe off of him. The worm turned bright red which made him turn away so she wouldn't see his face scrunching up. Never in his life did he ever felt the urge to laugh this hard before.

He heard her make a few clicks. Are you laughing at me?! She asked, appalled.

Finally the low snickers escaped his mouth and all the guilt he was feeling for her dying faded. She looked fine and healthy, but it was her appearance he found rather amusing.

You are laughing! I don't look at that bad, do I?

You always said I needed to laugh more. He said before letting out a loud snort.

But not at me! She screamed. Of all the nerve, Gojira, this is how you welcome me after coming back to life! Wait till I get my stinger back and it will be me laughing up a storm-

He scooped her up with his tail and brought her near his face. Placing her down next to him, he choked back the last bit of giggles when she gave him a reddish, pouty look. Don't be mad, it's weird seeing you as grub.

She let out a frustrated sigh, I won't be for long. Once I cocoon I'll be back to normal. Can you handle that without the giggles?

He finally calm down and gave her a serious look. Is it really you? He had to ask.

Of course it's me. She said, leaning against his snout. Or else I would never be this close to you.

He sniffed her so he can recognize her new form's scent. So you did die….but how…you were hurt, but your wounds weren't fatal.

She sighed and nuzzled his face. I had to use my healing powers to fix that neck wound of yours. I knew you weren't going to make it so I healed you.

Since when did you have healing powers?

I always had it, but I try not to use it unless it was really necessary. It comes with a high cost.

Which is?

She stayed quiet for a second before finally speaking. Life….it drains my life and since I was weakened from the ambush, it took everything to save you….

Oh…

She still held onto his snout and he didn't mind this time. She saved his life once again and here he thought he was supposed to be the protector in this relationship. She let out a soft hum. It's good to see you again. She said while closing her eyes.

He exhaled and relax to her new touch. Yeah, me too.

A warm sensation filled his chest and he realize he really did love her….

00000000

(Present)

My king why are you still awake?

He snapped out of his thoughts and look down at his sleepy Queen. Her eyes were struggling to keep them open, but quickly surrender to sleep again. She curled herself into a tight ball while using her claws to cover her round belly. You were kicking in your sleep again. He said.

The Queen nodded and muttered something to him so quietly he couldn't recognize it and fell back to sleep. He could hear a small, gentle hum coming from her mind through their connection and the soft, steady sound of her heartbeats…..heartbeats...wait a minute….He lifted his head a bit to look at her sleeping form and raised a brow. If he really concentrate he can hear and feel her heartbeat just like she can hear and feel his. Just like how they can feel each other's emotions and communicate in their minds, heartbeats was another way to keep track of one another….

It was faint, but he could've sworn he can hear two sets of beats coming from her…..
