[5 hours later, almost towards sundown...]
Terry: (was reading, while keeping an eye on the egg)
[a few moments later, the sound of cracking was heard]
Terry: ? (looked up) ... :o The egg... (called out) Grimm? Grimmy!
Grimm: [was in the nxt room brainstorming ideas for how to deal with Drizelda n had almost dozed off] (tired) [snorted] Hmm, huh? Wha-? Wat? Where's the fire?
Terry: (called out again) Grimmy, it's hatching!
Grimm: :O [intercommed one of his servants to announce the hatching, then made a mad dash into the room] Is it out?? Is it out??
Terry: :) It's just starting to crack.
[after the announcement was made, everyone came in]
Loathe: Is it here? Is it out?
Wander: Ooh, I can't wait to see
Hater: :O
Egg: (kept hatching, a foot poking out)
Terry: :) Come on, little one...
Fury: [watched in wonder]
Grimm: U can do it, sweetie... :)
(the egg finaly is fully hatched, and the baby is revealed to be a lizard like Terry but had pale black skin with orange markings and red eyes)
Terry: Oh...oh my... :o
Grimm: Aww~ Its adorable [picks it up n chk its gender] Its a baby girl. Our little daughter :D
Wander: Yayy! (clap)
Terry: She...she looks like...him... (worry)
Grimm: :| So? She's beautiful
Loathe: Aww~ Lemme hold her :D
[everyone seems to be oblivious or didnt care how she looks like as they dote abt her]
Terry: :( ... Yeah...she is cute... :)
Grimm: [noticed his worry, then turns to Fury] Go away, Loathe. Let Dad hold his new granddaughter. U get ur turn
Loathe: Aww~ >:C
Fury: [takes the mewling hatchling n nuzzled it]
Grimm: [put his arm ard Terry] I knw ur worried, Terry. Talk to me
Terry: I'm...I'm sorry... I mean, I wanted to forget about him, but her looking like... :(
Grimm: R u gonna love her less bcoz of tht? :(
Terry: No, I don't want to! But it's just...
Grimm: Terry, does it look like any of them care? [gesturing at the happy faces before him] Does it look like I care abt tht?
Terry: N...No...?
Grimm: It doesn't matter to me. I knew the consequences of taking u as my wife. I already knew the child doesnt belong to me. I had already expected tht one way or another, the child would not look like me, bt it doesn't matter. Its our child. I adopted her, n I accept her as she is. N my family definitely accepted her regardless, meaning they were also already prepared for it. Loathe looks like she could just eat her up already [gesturing at Loathe squeeing at the hatchling]
Terry: (giggle) Yeah... :) Take it easy, Loathe. Don't frighten Eliza.
Grimm: Eliza? :|
Terry: Her name. Our baby, she's Eliza. :)
Grimm: Eliza... Yeah, tht's nice. I like it. Rolls off the tongue well [nuzzled Terry] If it makes u feel any better, u can just pretend tht she got her looks frm someone frm either side of ur family, like a distant relative or a distant ancestor or something. There's bound to be SOMEONE in ur family tree who has tht type of looks, right? Just think of it like tht n one day u might just believe it n forget abt tht bastard altogether
Terry: (think) ... (nod) Alright.
Hater: (inlove)
Wander: (hearteyes) She is adorable~~
Fury: [wiped tears of joy] She is beautiful, just like u, Terry :)
Terry: :) She is. May I hold her now? (giggle)
Loathe: Oh! Sorry, didnt realize we're hogging her. She's gonna need to be cleaned off the egg goo tho [passes Eliza to Terry]
Terry: (takes Eliza into his arms) :) Hi there, sweetie. I'm your mommy.
Grimm: N I'm ur Daddy [tickled her chin, then whispered to Terry's ear] I can't wait to make babies with u once we officially tie the knot (giggle)
Terry: :$ Me neither. (nuzzled Eliza)
Wander: Let's leave the new parents with their baby :)
Loathe; Aww, bt I wanna hold her some more :(
Hater: :| You wanted to be her aunt, not her mommy.
Loathe: |-( Fine~ I'll go tell Archie the good news :D [rushes off to call her fiance]
Fury: [shook his head with a smile] In some ways, she kinda reminds me of ur mom wen she was younger. She was just as energetic as her :)
Hater: :) Heh. (took Wander's hand as they left)
Wander: [followed happily with him] So u ready for our upcoming adventures now tht Terry had his baby? :)
Hater: Yeah...I guess so. Just gotta try and convince Peepers first.
Wander: Why? Is he against u adventuring?
Hater: Pretty much. <_<
Wander: I'm sure we can get thru to him. He usually listens to u
Hater: Yeah, here's hoping.
Wander: Fingers crossed~ (yn)
Hater: Me too. (yn)
