Spark stirred in the nest, slowly raising her head. Bluefire ignored Dartwing in favor of her beloved mate.
"Hello, my love," she purred. Spark nuzzled her sweetly as well. "I apologize for leaving you alone for so long."
"I managed," Spark said. "Dartwing was a great help." She climbed out of the nest. Bluefire's eyes narrowed. Spark's body was not as slim as it usually was.
"Spark, are you with egg?" Bluefire asked. Spark looked at her in shock.
"What? No! I-"
"Let me check." Bluefire got out of the nest as well. As she moved, she could tell for sure that she was once again carrying eggs, but set that aside for now. Spark's condition was more important. She smelled Spark deeply. Sure enough, her mate had pheromones that indicated she carried an egg. "You are!"
"What?! Bluefire, I would never cheat on you!" Spark cried. Bluefire nuzzled her mate.
"I know, my love. And I know who is responsible for not just your condition, but mine as well." The dragonesses both looked at Dartwing.
Dartwing silently prayed that he had managed to get them to imprint on him. Otherwise, he was cooked.
