Hops+dream : the egg!

Exp between both 

The morning drew close as the sun peeked over the hills. The first to stir was dream as her wings twitched in the glow of the sun light.

Quietly her eyes peeked open, only to see her arms wrapped close to her friend’s body . Quickly she pulled back ,her dusted pink cheeks glowing with embarrassment. How could she have gotten so close to him in the night!? They had many late night outings and that had never happened before!

Softly she scooted back ,and watched to make sure he didn’t wake. As he slept soundly she let out a deep breath. Glad to know she hadn’t waking him with such an awkward scene . After she had composed herself dream let her body rest once more. Her hands falling to touch the blanket under her till suddenly. They tapped against something…hard .

Her eyes flared open in surprise . What was in the blanket with them! A rock ! maybe a creature!

Suddenly as she spotted the item. The oval round item dappled in blue and white …she realized ..this was an egg! It didn’t take her longer than a moment before she realized..that this…was Her’s and hop’s egg! They made an egg!

In a panic she nearly squeaked into a shout only barely catching herself as she clasped her mouth. The only thing saving her from yelping was recalling hops was asleep! She panned back over to see the man asleep next to her and then darted her view back to the egg. The hit her instantly … this was hers…. No…not just hers! their egg! This was no stone…no lifeless item…it was a life. With a tear in her eye she lifted the little egg into her arms. It felt as if this egg had been resting in between them all night …it was warm …well cared for , and she could tell it harbored life…a little finely …that was theirs.

But…how was she gonna tell him this…he was a dad …she a mom..and they …they weren’t ready . At least she didn’t feel ready. They barely were adults and now they had a new responsibility. A tear dropped from her cheek as a pained squeaked escaped her . Desperately she tried not to panic. Trying her best not to cry from the overwhelming thought. That was untilshe heard something.

,” huh…dream,” the voice echoed.

Quickly she knew he was awake! He was waking up and she was blubbering and holding the egg! Frantically she placed the small egg into her pouch and crawled over to hops .

,” yes? ,” she asked sweetly. Her brows furrowed in worry as she rubbed her face .

,” oh hey, there ya are. I thought I heard you crying. ,” he yawned as he sat himself up .

,” oh no no it’s ..nothing…just uh. Bad dream that’s all . I’m fine,” she lied, her face contorting into a guilty smile.

,” o-ok,” he said gently as he rubbed his head,” as long as your are sure ,” he reassured her softly.

,” I’m sure , it’s fine. ,” she stuttered and placed a hand on his arm and the other on her pouch . Her eyes shimmering with sorrowed guilt. The two would part that morning and no matter what she did…She just couldn’t bring herself to tell him. No matter how it pulled at her heart to speak and show him ….she couldn’t get it out…but she knew…she couldn’t hide the egg from him long…what was she gonna do…what was she gonna say…only time would tell.
