Sixteen Gemstone Dragonets

Jasper was awoken from her deep slumber by the sound of eggshells cracking. She opened her eyes. Argent was already awake, observing the sixteen eggs closely.

“You were sleeping very deeply, my jewel,” Argent remarked. “They have been hatching for quite some time.” He smiled at her. “It must be the weariness from carrying my own clutch.” Jasper was pregnant again, thanks to Argent, though it looked like this clutch would be much smaller, as she could still move around with ease and her belly hadn’t gotten half as large as it had at this point during the previous pregnancy. Argent seemed disappointed, something that made Jasper upset. The dragon part of her wanted to please her mate, after all.

But Argent was a kind and generous mate, telling Jasper that it was just because she had laid such a large clutch immediately before. Her body wanted time to recover. They would have plenty of opportunities to have many hatchlings together.

Jasper joined Argent, who had moved the eggs out of the nest the two shared. He had explained to her the other day that he would do so when they hatched, so that the pieces of the shells wouldn’t wind up in their nest. Argent nuzzled Jasper. Jasper’s body reacted positively to the attention, though inside, she cringed.

Together, they watched the sixteen eggs hatch. Jasper had no ideas for names, but luckily, Argent did. As each egg hatched, he named the dragonet without asking for Jasper’s input. He was astonished by how many of the eggs were female; he had told Jasper previously that dragonesses were rarer than males dragons. Finally, the last egg, the golden one from Anya, cracked open, producing a male hatchling with brilliant golden scales.

Jasper looked at her children, mentally going over their names so as to not forget them. There were three black hatchlings, all male: Onyx, Flint, and Tourmaline. The red and pink ones were Ruby, Garnet, Coral, Rose Quartz, and Spinel; Garnet was the only male of that group. There were four blue ones, all female, named Sapphire, Aquamarine, Turquoise, and Lapis Lazuli. Two of the three white ones, Pearl and Opal, were female, while the third, Moonstone, was male. And finally, the golden son from Anya was named Aurum.

As Jasper looked over her hatchlings, a strong maternal urge came over her. She couldn’t leave her hatchlings. Not until they were old enough to be on their own. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn’t. As she came to terms with the fact that she would be tending to her hatchlings for years to come, she felt…
