Blessed Event?
Chichi: *digging in Cureall's flowerpot* *dirt all over the floor*
Oriana: *sleeping with Optimus and Kirby and hasn't noticed*
Cureall: *heavy sigh* *cuddles Chichi as she picks her up.* There is plenty of dirt outside for you to mess in, why this pot?
Chichi: *chirps anxiously and wriggles to get down. She feels rounder and heavier than usual*
Cureall: *holds Chichi up for inspection*...are you...*gently feels on the little fire lizard's stomach* You are! *gently sets down Chichi*
Chichi: *grumbling softly as she starts to dig again, her eyes whirling slightly with worry. MUST get this done!*
Cureall: *taps her chin and peers over at the bunch sleeping on the couch as Baby Ratchet flies in, landing near by to make fussing noise at Chichi.* Hmm. *leaves and comes back with a big plastic tub full of dirt.* *gently lift chichi and her flower pot into the dirt tub.*
Chichi: *preoccupied and making little fussy sounds as she looks at the new dirt, then shivers slightly and squeaks as she turns back to her hole.* *and several minutes later there are three little eggs in that hole. Two of them are mottled with buff, and the last one shines faintly golden.*
Oriana: *lifts her head and looks over the arm of the couch as she realizes that Cureall is home, then frowns as she sees where she's standing.* What is it?
Chichi: *so pooped that she's nearly falling in the hole as she tries to cover it.*
Cureall: *keeps an eye on Chichi and pets her gently.* Seems I should have opted to get Chichi and Ratchet sterilized. Chichi has laid three very lovely eggs.
Oriana: *brows go up with surprise, and then she gently disentangles herself from the little ones to come and see*
Chichi: *scolds at Oriana wearily, then looks at her mate. Help?*
Baby Ratchet: *squawk as he was unsure what to do! He flies down to help finish burrying the eggs and soothe his mate.*
Cureall: Don't crowd them love, stay back here and watch.
Oriana: *steps back and then goes to her knees, her eyes large with wonder* What do they look like?
Chichi: *trying to make it look like there are no eggs there, but then abruptly faceplants and is asleep*
Baby Ratchet: *licks and cuddles Chichi*
Cureall: *smiles softly at the scene* Round, two are mottled and one is gold. Try not to disturb them, Chichi wants us to think she doesn't have any because of her instinct to protect them. *she kneels and hugs Oriana.*
Oriana: *leans against Cureall* Do you know when they'll hatch? *blinks* They'll need homes.
Chichi: *manages to wake enough to snuggle before she's out again*
Cureall: *hmms* I got baby Ratchet a few days from hatching, I'd have to study how long these will take. I think we have a few weeks at least. *smiles and pets Oriana's hair*
Oriana: *nods, carefully not looking at the nest so as to help the new parents feel safe* *then starts as the house com. beeps and goes to answer it* Hi, Amy. Oh... that doesn't sound good. I will if Cureall says it's alright. Alright. *turns back to Cureall* Amy thinks she has a virus, and wants to know if I can pick Rae and Dan up from school and if they can stay here for a few days.
Cureall: *taps her chin and nods* Since Sludge will most likely try to take care of her, yes you may.
Oriana: *eyes go to the nest* Chichi and Baby Ratchet like them, so it shouldn't upset them?
Cureall: *nods* Just remind them not to bother the nest. Both Chichi and Ratchet may bite them if they mess with the nest too much.
Oriana: Alright. *turns back to the com and tells Amy it's go, then closes the connection and goes to pick Kirby up* I should take you back to the Nexus before I go. *gentle, so as to not startle the little sleeping being*
Kirby: *coos and snuggles into Oriana*
Cureall: *mearly nods and smiles* Be careful, and don't take too long.
Oriana: *slight smile* If I see Blackout I'll go the other direction. *PINpoints away*
Chichi: *scolds in her sleep*
