As My Heart Dies-Chp30

[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)
