Once the door was closed, Snowheart prepared for everything, he even made himself appear smaller than his mother, lowering his head when she turned to him, a look of displeasure on her stunning face. "Well, what do you have to say for yourself Prince Snowheart" Which was something he was not expecting, he let out a whine, opening his mouth to speak only to have Glacier clamp it shut gently with her tail, curling it around his snout. "Shh, it's okay my little Snowstorm, I know you love Icesheet, and I know that Icesheet adores you since Arctic and Icewave said so" She looked over at Icesheet, but instead of glaring, her eyes were soft. Snowheart shook his snout, trying to get his mother's tail, which was wrapped around his snout, off. "Mommy, get off" His voice was muffled as he let out another whine, Icesheet put a paw to her lips, containing a giggle while his sisters poked at him, with Snowfall and Mink climbing on top of him, due to his size. "This is punishment son" Glacier grinned, her white teeth showing before letting her son go, letting out a loud laugh when Mink chomped down on his ear.
"Ow! Mink, careful with my ear!" Snowheart complained, shaking his head before focusing on Crystal who had sat on her haunches in front of him, just staring up at him with that annoying smirk. So, my big brother finally got laid... Who initiated it" Icesheet made her way over to Snowheart after taking Mink off and holding her in her forearms. She then placed Mink down before rubbing her snout tip against Snowheart's before speaking. "He did, in fact while he made our way to the complex, I slowly fell for him, for he cared genuinely for me, told me jokes, always showed his iconic smile, and used his wings to cover me. After getting to the Complex, we slept in the royal bedroom, which we are standing in now. And after some time, we... made love" She then kissed Snowheart, a kiss full of love and gentleness as her tongue fought his for dominance.
The whole royal family watched, Glacier had a single tear roll down her cheek. "My baby boy is all grown up" Frostbite heard from his wife, looking at her before he smirked, making her look at him before kissing her on the lips, making Glacier squeal out in surprise. "Eww, mommy!" Mink complained, rearing up and placing her tiny forepaws on Glacier's hind leg, looking up at her mother.
Meanwhile, Snowheart and Icesheet had broken their kiss, for now, all they did was hold each other, with Snowheart's wings around Icesheet while Glacier and Frostbite watched. "You know, we used to be in your position Snowy, the only difference being that I was a Prince from another family, while Glacier was a Princess from the main royal family." He looked at Glacier, seeing nothing but love in her eyes.
"um... So you two aren't mad that I... seduced General Icesheet?" Frostbite gave a nod, smiling at his son. Meanwhile, Snowfall looked rather unhappy, she had gotten down from Snowheart by now and made her way into the large washing room before the door closed behind her, which got Snowheart's attention. Kissing Icesheet, he told her he was going to check on his sister, turning on the spot before starting his way over to the washroom, opening the door that Snowfall had closed behind her, poking his head in to see a rather upset-looking Snowfall in the bubbling tub. Letting out a sigh, he made his way over to her, his claws clicking against the floor which earned Snowfall's attention. "I'm jealous you know, of you and General Icesheet... I'm nearly your age and I have yet to find someone" Snowheart felt his heartache as he heard her speak, hearing the pain in her voice before he slipped into the water, moving behind her as he scooped the smaller dragoness up into a hug, which she hugged back, a few tears rolling down her face.
"You're still too young to think about that Snowfall. I was only seven when I met the General, and Mother has always given me more room to breathe because one I am a prince and two I am her only son. Though I was still out of line to mate with a dragoness since she was legally of the age to mate while I was not" He let out a sigh, rubbing a large paw down Snowfall's back gently, his large claws rubbing against her wing joints gently as he added. "Though it seems Mother doesn't seem to mind that fact" "Oh, are you assuming Snowheart, Naughty boy" Snowheart jumped, nearly throwing Snowfall off as he looked back at the door to see his Mother standing there alone, a neutral expression on her face as she closed the door behind her with her tail before padding up to her son. "You're so big, mommy's big naughty boy" She chuckled, giving him a head rub before she took Snowfall from his grip, lifting the smaller dragoness before placing her down into the water gently.
She then focused back onto Snowheart, snorting as she entered the water, moving around Snowheart who was still leaning up against the sloping wall of the sunken tub when Glacier laid down beside her son. "Mother! What are y-" He was cut dead by his Mother placing a claw against his lips. "Shhh baby boy, Mommy wants to talk, can you remain quiet?" Snowheart gave a hesitant nod, looking at his mother with wide eyes while she remained beside him. He hoped to the stars No one walked in on this as he heard his Mother start. "Now" She moved under his left wing, letting out a sigh before she looked at her son, purring as she noticed that Snowheart's build was dominated by his father's genes. "I don't mind that you and General Icesheet love each other, I did have my suspicions when the first messenger came back, saying how flustered you and Icesheet were, Which got me thinking until it dawned on me that my baby boy had mated the General"
She grinned at Snowheart, showing her white teeth while shifting slightly, making Snowheart whimper as she continued. "Even if Icesheet is younger than me, she and I are great friends. I had seen Icesheet sneaking glances at you as far back as when you were six, of course, I had told her not to push until you gave the green light. Which gives me the allowance to ask another question... Who Seduced who?" Her head tilted to the side slightly as she waited for an answer from her son.
Meanwhile Snowfall gave a genuine smile, she loved to watch her mother use her dominant side, right now watching her older brother fall to pieces in her talons made her giggle, she then got up and took her leave to talk to the rest of the family.
"I-i did m-mother" He whined out, yet it was cut short by her grabbing his snout with both her forepaws and clamping it shut. She then looked him dead in the eye before asking. "Do you really love her son, or are you just in it for the sex" Her eyes narrowed, yet widened at seeing Snowheart's adorable reaction, his face draining of blood before he answered, though it was muffled. "I love her with all my heart, sex comes under, though whenever she wishes for a pleasurable night, then I'll always do that. I have never and will never push her into anything she doesn't want to do, I genuinely love her Mother!" He chirped out the last part, gulping when Glacier shifted beside him.
"Good boy, that's all I wanted to hear babes. Now, I'll be going" She rose, water dripping from her scales before she made her way out of the sunken tub, stepping around her son before drying herself off while Snowheart just stared at the still bubbling pool. Glacier was about to leave the washroom when Snowheart suddenly spun around and cried out to her. "Mother, c-can you..." He struggled to speak up, feeling the words get stuck while Glacier looked back at her son, looking confused for a few seconds before her expression slowly turned to one of a devilish one. "I'll be back with Icesheet, hang on" She then left the room, leaving Snowheart all along as he remained calm. (That... could have gone worse) He sighed, shaking himself while the warm water continued to bubble around him. Too preoccupied to hear the door swing open, both Glacier and Icesheet made their way in, seeing Snowheart in his lying position once more, though this time appearing more calm than in the past day.
"Snowy, hunny?" Glacier called out to her son, padding up to him before placing a paw on his shoulder, seeing that he was fixated on the bubbling water. Had she done something wrong? Did she do or say something? She wanted an answer, yet before she could do so, Icesheet had slipped into the bath, swimming over to Snowheart before placing her paws on each of his cheeks, staring into his eyes while smiling. This made him smile back as he then looked up at his mother. "I'm alright Mother... just surprised that you and Father were more... contained, though now, I wish to do THIS" He flung his Mother over him, being very mindful of the edges of the bath, but luckily the sunken bath was massive enough and deep enough. Glacier crashed into the warm water with a loud splash (warm for an Icewing) Coughing and spluttering before she looked at her son with wide eyes, only for them to narrow into slits.
"Oh, playing this game huh, then take This!" He heard her war cry, then felt a gush of water slap him in the face, closing his eyes before opening them after the splash stopped. What he saw AND heard was amazing. His mother was laughing, and dancing around while Icesheet, who now was her unofficially (until the wedding) daughter-in-law, splashed her with water. He laid back, letting the two females get along before he pressed another button, one which he had accidentally discovered a few months ago, yet he didn't tell Icesheet. Suddenly the bath expanded, growing longer in both directions before it was at least three times the size and nearly twice as deep. Now it was a family pool. (Thank the moons for animus magic) He thought, looking down at his left forepaw, flexing it when he felt three sets of paws around his neck. "Heya girls" He looked behind him to see his sisters, who all were hugging him, his father, along with Arctic and Icewave had followed them into this room.
"Ah, yes, forgot the sunken bath could do that" Arctic hissed out awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck, shifting his spines about before receiving an elbow in the ribs from Icewave. "Stop that!" He whined, earning a chuckle from King Frostbite.
Meanwhile, Snowheart had, like the gentle dragon he was, held out a forepaw, which Crystal and Snowfall took gently as he helped them into the water. "Thank you Snowheart" Crystal nuzzled into her older brother, she had grown, but was a lot smaller than her brother due to his genetic size difference, and the fact that he was abnormally large, just like Arctic was. "You're more than welcome little sister" He bowed to both princesses, which was, from what he heard, mandatory since he was a Prince and they were Princesses. He didn't mind this, yet his Mother had told him countless times that he was very special, and that he always noticed she treated him differently.
Then came Mink, looking up at her titanic-sized brother, who stared down at his two-month-old sister, seeing how soft her scales were, and just overall how small she was. "Hmm, seems your scales haven't fully hardened yet" He created the underside of his chin, smirking when someone let out a gasp. "Oh heavens, I forgot he had those!" Icesheet giggled, pointing to Snowhearts Antlers, which by now were fully grown, and looked majestic on him, though they were only temporary as he lowered his head to let his sisters touch and play with them. Mink was floating on the shallow part of the pool, Snowheart keeping a paw under her to make sure she was okay while he felt Snowfall and Crystal feel his Antlers. "Honestly brother, if you weren't my brother, and I saw you like this, and the way you speak and what not. I'll ask you on a date" Crystal said, startling Snowheart as he locked his gaze on his oldest sister. (Did she say that?) (Yep, she totally did!) His mind cried out while Snowfall tugged at his right antler gently, her paws still roaming over the rough bone that protruded from just in front of where his horns were. "Handsome I must say, they suit you" She finished, smiling at her brother before she went and joined Mother and Icesheet, leaving Snowheart alone with Mink and Crystal, the latter snuggling up to him, her head on his chest which startled the Prince once more, yet he slowly wrapped her in a wing, hugging her close to him, only to feel and hear her purr.
"How are you holding up son?" Frostbite had lowered his head, noticing that both Mink and Crystal were curled up on top of Snowheart, both of them snoring softly which made the Icewing King chuckle. "They had a long time flying, so it's not a surprise they are tired" He then focused back on his son, sitting down on the edge of the pool when Snowheart spoke. "I'm worried Father"
This made the older Icewing look at his son to his right, letting out a sigh before he asked. "Why son? What worries you so much?" His head cocked to the side while his tail curled around his feet as he waited for Snowheart's response.
"I..I guess I am worried about Icesheet, my place in the Royal family, my duties and my training" He replied, looking to his left at his father, a worried expression upon his face.
Frostbite looked away slightly, staring down at the water as he thought of a response to that. His wings twitched, as did his tail while he flexed his claws, tapping them against the icy floor before he looked back at his son, opening his mouth to speak. "You will remain as a Prince since you have found your mate, she will be crowned as a Princess, and may even become a King! Though I am just your Father, you will need to get your Mother's side as well, though I'm sure she will accept it like I have" He gave Snowheart a genuine loving Fatherly who smiled back with a toothy grin.
"Thanks dad, though... I must ask, when will my training end?" Cocking his head while he looked from his father to his mother, and back again, looking for answers. That was when Glacier piped up. "Well, since the reports have shown that you have been taught very well, we were hoping to see a mock fight" She looked up at him from where she was monitoring Snowfall, letting the smaller dragoness rest against her.
"Well... I mean if Arctic and the other guys are okay with it" Snowheart shrugged, waking Crystal up by mistake, who complained while nuzzling into his chest. "Brother! Stop it!" She whined softly while moving her head up to nuzzle into his neck, which made Snowheart blush from the odd position he was in now.
Everyone except Snowheart either giggled or chuckled at the sibling embrace, with Crystal and Mink holding their older brother hostage. Icesheet made her way over to him, being very mindful of the two girls as she kissed him on the lips once more. After a little bit, she broke the kiss, the two of them panting slightly while they stared at each other.
"I think that you should show your parents how good and handsomely you fight!" Snowheart wrinkled his snout, earning a giggle from both Icesheet and Icewave, Snowheart turned to look at his Father, letting out a sigh. "Alright, I'll show you tomorrow if you guys want? Since it's getting dark outside" He pointed his tail to his right, at the window that led to outside, seeing the three moons beginning to rise up over the horizon as the sky began to grow dark with darker shades of blue.
"Oh... where will we sleep Mother?" Snowfall questioned, looking up at her mother before Snowheart chipped in. "You can sleep here, I also found out that the bed me and Icesheet sleep on" He looked over at Icesheet, keeping their lovemaking a bit secret before he continued. "We all can sleep on that bed, for it's way too large for us both" He then looked down at the two sleeping dragonesses, blowing on them which woke them up. "Time for bed" Snowheart purred softly, not seeing or hearing Icesheet and Icewave whisper to each other.
"He will make a fantastic Father you know Icesheet, you're very lucky to have such a loving Drake, especially a Prince at that!" Icewave whispered, giggling afterwards while the whole family climbed out of the pool, with Snowheart drying Mink off as the rest of his family, minus his Father, dried themselves off before they left the washroom and entered the main bedroom, where the bed had been expanded, with Arctic padding around it, making sure it was perfect for their King and Queen.
"Here you go your Majesties, I made sure the best fabrics and pillows we had here, which are made of the royal silks, were placed on Snowheart's bed, of course, we made sure to spice up the bed before Prince Snowheart arrived" He bowed towards Glacier and Frostbite, looking up at them before the lumbering Icewing followed his smaller pregnant mate out the bedroom entrance, closing the doors before him, leaving them alone.
"Well, now we can all sleep as one happy family!" Crystal laughed and followed her sister Snowfall, who had jumped onto the bed. Snowheart followed behind her, with Mink clinging to his neck as he made his way onto the bed, before his Mother, Father and mate joined him. The whole family was now in bed. Snowheart and Icesheet were on the far right side of the bed, while Frostbite and Glacier were on the far left, and Crystal, along with Snowfall were in the centre. Mink refused to let go of Snowheart, and so curled up between Snowheart and Icesheet, falling asleep rather quickly while the two adult dragons looked down at the dragonet.
"You know Snowheart, Mink was always asking about you, what you look like and how you sounded. And it seems she has taken a high liking towards you. She looks up to you, you know, I saw how she stared at you with amazement when she first entered the washroom, just looking up at you" Glacier finished, looking at her son with a loving smile before lying her head down.
"Honestly, she is cute, an adorable little ball of scales" He ran a claw gently along Mink's back, hearing her purring only get louder before he brought his claw back away from her, lying his head down as well as the family fell asleep while the white light from the moons streamed into the bedroom.
