“Simon, am I oviparous, ovoviviparous or viviparous as far as giving birth?”
“I wish you’d asked Jennifer, your OBGYN, that.”
“Well?”
Sighing,“the last one, same as humans, Andy, or I think so.” Shaking his head, “I didn’t think I’d have to explain sex until our child was older.”
“I AM NOT a CHILD and no I don’t need the sex education lecture. I just want to know if I’m going to be passing eggs, or egg shells pieces afterwards or if our child is going to come oozing out in a burst of fluid.”
Simon paled, “he’ll come out without a shell. You have to understand, I was very young at the time and don’t remember much other than being squeezed out into the world rather suddenly and missing my parent’s warmth around me. It was traumatic.”
Arms surrounded Simon. “I love you Simon.” On a mischievous note, “want to be enclosed by me to show how much? Just a part of you, you understand, a certain snaky part of you.”
“Scales, I thought you’d never ask,” Simon smiled and then sobered as if the smile hadn’t been truth, “I love you too.”
“You’re an idiot, you know that don’t you? Do you remember that video I caught you watching?”
“Um, I can explain…”
“No need love. I’ve been doing some researching too, how else did you think I knew about the various ways snakes can be born? I was thinking, when I’m closer to giving birth maybe you could partially shift and use one of your hemipenes instead?”
“We are following Jennifer’s advice,” Simon said firmly. “We are not risking you or our child. I can put you before any of my baser needs.”
“Baser needs? You’ve been reading those historical romances again.” Andy kissed the corner of Simon’s jaw smiling, “you romantic snake you.”
“Hush. I’m a big bad snake familiar and don’t you forget it,” was spoiled by Simon’s leaning more into Andy’s embrace.
“MY big bad snake familiar, who happens to like watching snake porn and reading romances, and that’s just between you and me, love.”
