Early morning came. The light of the four suns entered through the window of the mansion and fell upon Natalie's face. She was still trying to sleep and put her paw over her face. She turned to face waway from the bed. Ten minutes went by and she felt someone nudging her shoulder. "Logar, it's too early. Go back to sleep, dear." The nudging continued. "Logar, I said stop. I'll blow you later." She then felt the nudging get harder. Annoyed she turned to say, "Go back to bed!" However, the moment she turned her head she was shocked, so all that came out of her mouth was, "Go ba- WHAT THE FUCK? !"

Logar woke up from hearing Natalie screaming. "What's wrong?" He looked down and yelled in surprise, "OH SHIT!"

Laying between them was a tiny newborn blue dragon with four wings and two tails. The baby dragon had been trying to wake its parents up and had been starlted by their yelling. The baby was smiling, but the smile instantaneously vanished and was replaced by a frightened face. The small hatchling started crying at the top of its lungs.

Saving the questions for later, Natalie picked up the baby. "Oh dear! I'm so sorry, child!" She gently rocked the baby, hoping to make it stop crying. "Shh shh shh. It's okay. We're not going to hurt you. Logar, get something to eat!"

Logar had been watching Natalie witha look of shock. Hearing this command snapped him out of it. "I'll be right back!" He ran out of the room in a hurry. "Gotta find food for the baby. Where's the kitchen? Where's the kitchen? Where's the kitchen?" he repeatedly asked himself as he looked through the mansion. He eventually found the kitchen behind the foyer. It was large and white with a table in the corner. The fridge was on the other side next to the sink and the oven. There was a female green dragon wearing a maid's outfit and standing on two legs. "Who are you?" Logar asked.

"I'm your maid, dipshit!" she said annoyed. "My name's Jenna. That joke of a queen made me work here after you won the place."

"Oh. I see," said Logar, not too happy about the attitude Jenna was showing. "Is there any food here for a baby?"

Jenna reached into a cupboard and pulled out a jar of baby food. "Well there's baby food. Is that good enough for you?" she asked sarcastically.

Logar struggled to keep a smile as he took the jar and grabbed a spoon. "Thank you," the words tasted like poison to him. He went back into the foyer, up the stairs, and into the bedroom. Natalie was still rocking the baby, which had stopped crying. "I have the food!"

"Good. Bring it here." Logar gave her the jar and the spoon. She opened the lid and scooped up the gooey substance. "Open wide." The baby sniffed the spoon carefully, unsure of what it was. It quickly opened its mouth and gulped down the goo. Natanlie continued to feed the baby until it was full. Logar sat next to her and looked down smiling at his child. Natalie lifted the baby to her shoulders and patted her back until it burped. "There we go." She set the baby down on the bed and put a blanket over it. The baby quickly fell asleep.

"Natalie..." Logar smiled and somehow frowned st the same time. "We missed it... We didn't get to see it hatch."

Natalie kissed her mate. "It's okay, Logar. The important thing is that we are here for her now."

"Her?"

Natalie nodded. "I checked while you were downstairs. It's a wonderful baby girl."

Logar looked down at his daughter. "A girl... Our little Resalia..." He was fully smiling again. "What do you think happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean."

Natalie looked at her daughter's wings and tails. "I don't know, but I do know that I am her mother and I love her."
