A/N: I just had this random idea on writing a baby journal for Caro, inspired by the red dragon from MK Armageddon. Although this was from a roleplay, I'd been involved with a Liu Kang RPer. He and my OC, Aiko Kang, who just became a wife decided to have a pet, particularly a dragon, rather than kids as they're too stressful.
On Sunday August 25th, Caro's egg was found by Liu Kang within the mountains and held by an old man along with several others. He somehow knew whether it'd be male or female, and he was lucky he had a boy egg. He brought it home before Aiko left work.
On Monday August 26th, Liu anticipated it was the day if the dragon egg should hatch. He has been incubating it. He asked me what day it is, and I knew it'd be the day we'd become parents. I remembered having a chocolate muffin for breakfast. Liu was ecstatic that egg would hatch this afternoon! He was nervous by then and he was holding my hand, I held his. By 3:03, the egg began to move a little, and we were very shocked. He hatched at 3:08 and he began to cry. He wouldn't stop until Liu whispered, Hello litte guy... and warmed him, then he licked my face knowing who his parents were. We then fed him warm milk from a baby bottle and he let out his first cute burp. He loves being in Liu's arms, and he even slept in them. I was nervous on holding his despite his assurance he's light; luckily it wasn't too difficult and he seemed to really love me too.
He took his first nap at 4:54 pm in his own bed. He congratulated me on being a dragon mom and I congratulated him as a dragon father. He then gave Caro his first plushie which was a rabbit. He then made dinner at 6:19 which was ramen while I watched over Caro, and he made him dragon baby food which was a puree of sorts. By 6:35 Caro woke up and Liu fed him. About an hr later I noticed he rose a back leg; that was when I needed to find his potty which was in the living room. Liu then decided to give him his first diaper. He actually learnt how to purr like a cat and let out some cute coos. By 8, Caro began to enjoy playing Liu's hair. By 10:07, Caro was asleep and we kissed him goodnight.
On Tuesday August 27th, we woke up Caro and I'd decided to make coffee, tea, and fill the baby bottle with warm milk. I also made some pop tarts for our breakfast while I found more pureed food for Caro. He woke up at 8:39 and he was happy to see us. I wanted to play with him but Liu wanted me dressed first; he loved his rabbit and dragon toys! But by 9:58, he stood up and walked a lil but his legs were shaky; we were very excited to see him walk within his playmat! He actually went to me first, then I actually taught him how to walk as I went down on all 4s, hoping he'd imitate me. He seemed to enjoy learning from me, always looking, mimicking my steps. I was worried he'd trip over his tail as I saw it get in the way of his steps, after that, he wouldn't stop following me! That was until Liu told him to come, which he did! We were very impressed he's a fast learner!
I wondered if he's ready to fly, Liu'd train him. Caro cuddled up to him and Liu thought on getting a collar for him. This afternoon he did while I watched over him, it looked good on him, a black collar with his name on it. He adored the jingling sound. Caro actually missed Liu so much, he was crying for him; I never thought he was hungry, so I gave him more training on how to walk. He wouldn't stop cuddling his dad, and he decided to work weekdays, while I work Fridays and the weekends, although we weren't sure who's gonna watch Caro on Fridays yet...
He cuddled onto my lap, and it was adorable Liu carried me onto the bed while Caro was on me! We actually had sushi before 6:30 for dinner while Caro had the dragon food. Caro looked so cute with the collar as he wore it by a quarter after 7. And Caro adored us so much. By 8 we had the idea on giving him raspberries, he laughed hard and moved his limbs a lot! He then had a stuffed bear in which he admired the softness. He then slept at quarter after 10 pm.
By 8:20 on Aug 28th, he woke up but was fussy; Liu figured he was just hungry which calmed him before he started to play. I'd shown more of Caro's dragon toys which had wings, and I was demonstrating how a dragon flies, even to see if he'd bend and hopefully open his wings. Liu admired his wings, but then Caro discovered of his tail and tongue; I needed to make sure he was in a spacious area and he wouldn't stop sticking out his tongue! He could however use it to eat and perhaps smell things, even kiss. He even started to play with my hair, which I was nervous since it was thin. It just wasn't the same as Liu's, though. Then he went around 10am as I'd noticed him raise a back leg. By 10:56, he enjoyed his playmat and toys so much, even the new toy music box! He wouldn't stop frolicking with them, as if they were his friends! We wished for him to meet real dragons someday. Caro was also getting better on walking. He played a lot until noon in which he started to cry; Liu figured he was hungry so I gave him a bottle and he calmed. He adored his playtime so much and Liu noticed his first fang at the front of his mouth! He was so happy, even wagging his tail.
Liu soon decided to take him out tomorrow to see the vet. He took a nap by 6 while Liu made dinner; we had rice while Caro had puree, then he played again till he was tired by quarter after 10.
