As Bluefire was feeling sorry for herself, she felt an immense pain. She roared in shock. There was another bolt of pain, this time accompanied by an urge to push. Bluefire followed the urge, and after a few pushes, a pure white egg fell into the nest.
"Spark!" Bluefire called. Spark rushed back, Dartwing close behind her. "The eggs are coming. I need you to take Ember so I can focus."
"But we should have two more months before you lay," Spark protested. Bluefire grunted, pushing again. A second egg fell into the nest.
"They must be early because there are so many," Bluefire panted.
"Come fetch me when you have finished," Spark said. She picked up Ember in her teeth by the scruff of her neck. She left. Dartwing glanced at Bluefire before leaving as well.
The first two eggs were laid easily. The others took more effort and time, as they were larger. It gave Bluefire a chance to think. Once she was done, she planned on turning back to male, then kicking out Dartwing. If he wanted to stay, he would need to be turned into a dragoness. Bluefire wouldn't have another male snooping around. In that way, it was a good thing she had gone into labor early. She could nip the Dartwing issue in the bud.
Hours later, the fifth and final egg slowly entered the nest. Bluefire collapsed from exhaustion. She couldn't help but be proud of how many eggs she had just laid. Two eggs at a time were rare, let alone five. But she couldn't wait to return to male and never lay eggs ever again.
That being said...she was so incredibly tired, she just wanted to take a nice, long nap...
