Part Four: Hatching that Egg
#1 of Adventures of a Hermaphroditic Dragoness
Roughly one week later:
"GET THIS DAMNED THING OUT OF ME!" Tresh screamed with a high whail of pain and a bone-crushing grip on Saereth's hand. Saereth watched with mild amusement as Tresh squirmed, even though from Saereth's point of view, the labor had scarcely begun. The hard little bulge hadn't even moved more than a few inches down Tresh's belly, and Tresh's water hadn't yet even broken.
Saereth stroked Tresh's belly gently.
"Easy, easy, love. It'll take some time before this baby makes its way into the world. Take it easy."
Tresh glared at her, her breath hard and panting.
"It feels like I have a damned boulder stuck inside me, and it wants OUT. You try being in my situation and then try being calm. You and your damned cock did this."
Saereth chuckled and grinned down at Tresh.
"Silly lover. You know I wouldn't have done this if I had realized what would happen. It's not exactly an easy experience to be a father, ya know?"
Saereth cradled Tresh to her, carefully maneuvering Tresh to cradle her in her lap, her hands reaching down to stroke Tresh's swollen belly, gentle motions against the hard little egg. Tresh moaned softly, her hands gripping Saereth's thighs as a spasm shook her body.
Saereth purred softly to her lover, projecting healing energy, spreading her calm magick into Tresh's heaving body, gently manipulating her lover, easing the ache of the thus far fruitless spasms. She reached down and gently parted the lips of Tresh's sex, then gently pressed her fingers into Tresh to feel how dilated she was.
She leaned a little to kiss Tresh on the lips as her fingers felt Tresh's sex, her magickal energy caressing Tresh's swollen flesh and sore muscles.
"Not much longer now, lovely. You're getting to be nicely dilated, you shouldn't have much trouble birthing this little boy into the world. In a few moments more, if he doesn't manage to break it, I'm going to have to help your water break. It's almost time."
She continued to cradle Tresh, her arms gently rocking her lover as Tresh panted, slow tears falling down Tresh's face. Tresh shivered then, her body wracked with a massive spasm as her womb heaved inside her and the seal holding her egg safe and warm burst outward, the heavy embryotic liquid spilling out of her to coat her legs and Saereth's. After that spasm passed, she relaxed again against Saereth, who simply continued to stroke Tresh's belly, crooning softly to her, unmindful of the thick goo that surrounded them and soiled their bed.
Tresh groaned then, and Saereth felt it as Tresh's womb and muscles began to force the egg out. She gripped Tresh's hand with one of hers while her other hand spread the lips of Tresh's sex and rested there, her hand just inside the entrance, ready to help the egg reach the outside world.
Saereth looked into Tresh's eyes, kissed her, then spoke.
"Time to push, love. Push as hard as you can. PUSH, then take a break. Remember to breathe. I'm here. Time for this baby of ours to come to the light of day. Come on now, love, it's time."
Tresh nodded, a look of determination crossing her face even as she moaned in pain. As Saereth held her, Tresh pushed, shoving hard with each contraction that wracked her body. Blood seeped from her sex, but Saereth kept a steady stream of healing energy moving into Tresh, keeping Tresh from feeling the worst of the pain. As Tresh pushed, Saereth encouraged her, gripping her hand, holding her tight, encouraging her.
When Saereth finally saw the end of the shell emerging from Tresh's sex, she shouted in excitement.
"This is it love! I see it! One more big push, and our young will be in this world. Come on Tresh, one more lunge."
Tresh panted hard, shaking hard with exertion, then with a deep breath and a squeeze on Saereth's hand, Tresh PUSHED hard, and with a pop and a loud shriek from both dragons, the egg emerged into Saereth's waiting hand. Saereth held the silver and red egg up in triumph and both dragons relaxed as they cradled the tiny egg to their bodies. Tresh quickly curled up around it, her motherly instincts kicking in.
Saereth purred softly and stroked Tresh's now flat belly as the two dragons laid there, both of them in awe at the tiny little life they had created.
Saereth spoke softly, whispering in Tresh's ear.
"If this egg is anything like my parents told me about my hatching, it should harden and hatch in a matter of a few hours.All we need to do is lay here and hold it until it hatches. Good job, mommy."
Saereth nuzzled Tresh affectionately as she laid there, both of them basking in the glow of their achievement.

Somehow, Saereth and Tresh both fell asleep, cradling their growing egg between their bodies, both of them purring softly with the impending motherhood. When the egg started to rock between them, they woke with a start and both of them knelt in front of the egg, watching it. Tiny cracks started to appear across the egg's width, then with a loud pop, a huge chunk of the egg fell away, revealing a tiny muzzle that stuck itself up, sniffed the air, then popped back into the egg.
Tresh gasped when she saw the tiny little muzzle emerge, then she gripped the edges of the hole and started to chip away at the edges, trying to help her baby emerge. Saereth started helping as well, both parents gently urging their child into the world, little by little exposing the soft little creature to the world. When the egg finally fell away from their child, the baby fell to the bed into an ungraceful gawky sprawl, all big feet and big hands and big head with little wings. The baby was quick to squall, its little voice raised in an angry whail as it laid there for just a moment before Saereth quickly scooped it into her arms.
Tresh looked down at the little bundle that Saereth was holding, then gently spread its legs apart to check its gender.
"He's a he, just like you said, love."
Saereth grinned.
"Told ya."
She purred softly down to the little boy she cradled so gently in her arms, then with a sigh, she handed him to Tresh.
"As the birth mother, I think it's only fair that you get to bathe him and give him his first meal. Let's get you two to the bathroom, Mommy."
Tresh looked up at Saereth, a bright love and joy filling her eyes.
"What are we going to name him?"
Saereth smiled down at Tresh, then stroked her mate's beautiful red hair.
"Coronis...for my brother, Coris, if you don't mind."
Tresh purred softly, stroking the soft scales of her baby.
"Coronisss....I like that. Coronis will be his name. Our son. Our child...my baby."
Tresh stood slowly and followed Saereth into the bathroom, walking as if in a daze, cradling her baby so carefully. She let Saereth run the bathwater and settle her into the bathtub, where she sat in the hot water, holding her child who stared up at her with such beautiful golden eyes. The two of them just sat there in the hot water as Saereth patiently bathed them both, washing Tresh's sore body even as her hand slid in and out of Tresh's folds, stroking Tresh's femininity with a gentle hand. Tresh shivered under Saereth's caresses and started to purr once more.
Saereth grinned down at Tresh.
"Let me show you what you're going to have to do with our baby...how it works..."
Tresh looked up at her, curiosity on her face.
"How what works?"
Saereth laughed, then bent and licked one of Tresh's nipples.
"These delightful things, dear heart."
With that, Saereth gripped the nipple between her teeth and started to suckled against Tresh, one of her hands caressing the milk heavy orb of her breast as the hot milk began to flow into her mouth. Tresh gasped and arched her back as Saereth suckled, the milk flowing from Tresh's body like fire and ice running through her. Tresh moved Coronis then, setting his little mouth near her other nipple, letting him draw in her scent. Coronis moved against her as instinct took over and his tiny mouth gripped her nipple hard, his baby teeth biting into the tender flesh as he began to suckle.
Tresh floated there as both mouths suckled on her, the heat of the fluid leaving her body making her sex tighten and dampen with the hot little pleasure that was running through her. Saereth, feeling Tresh's arousal as she drank from her mate, lowered a hand to Tresh's thighs, then slid a finger into Tresh's depths where she gently wiggled it, caressing the swollen muscles. She lightly stroked Tresh's clit, touching it with first one finger, then adding another, until three of her fingers were stroking the hot little muscles of Tresh's sex, making Tresh squirm against her even as Coronis and Saereth suckled on her breasts.
It wasn't long before Tresh climaxed under the onslaught being used on her, her body jerking and twisting with pleasure that pulsed within her, filling the water around her with the milky fluid of her sex. Saereth licked her nipple once more, then released Tresh, to let Tresh relax into the hot water. Eventually, even Coronis seemed full and with a burp, he fell asleep on Tresh's breast, at which point, Saereth lifted her sated lover from the water and carried her to the living room, where she laid her on the couch and Tresh fell asleep.
