and then the day came. Dean was away and it came about so suddenly that he could not have made it back in time. I was alone at home. My due date was not until two months away, so we had not anticipated their coming. and before I could look or ask for help I delivered two eggs.
they were dark and scaly and I knew right then and there that they were dragon eggs. "I must keep them warm" it was instinct. I had to. I pressed them to my body and cover them. by morning, I could feel them tremble. they had hatched. Out came 1... 2... Small dragons. and then moments later, they transformed into two harmless blue-eyed, dark-haired babes.
right then I understand, our family Legend. our forefather made sure that the dragons and the men who sought to destroy them we're not successful in extinguishing either his or his wife's line. both by ensuring that all women had attributes that made sure they will bear children as well as maintaining a dormant Gene that will ensure about his children who were murdered callously will one day live on.
I did not know what I was going to do. Dean knows my family history, just as I know his, but even I did not know that his genes, his lineage, the immortality he had given me had activated a gene, a hidden twist to the gifts our forefather had given. nothing has even happened like this to our family before, and all the dragons after the death of my forefather, were hunted by men one by one, fearing a repeat of our forefather's mistake. to this day no a single Dragon existed... until today. today,I bore 2 dragons. not just mere the dragons who could take the form of a human while maintaining all the ferocity and lethality of a dragon.
if I tell Dean, would he abhor my children? for despite they're being a dragon they are still my children... the fruit of my womb. So for the time being, I kept them from Dean. I delayed his return to our little house.
a week had passed and I continued to nurture my two little boys. unlike human babes they grew at a faster rate. Within a week they were equivalent to human toddler. within a month, they were almost at puberty. They grew big and strong. with all the ferocity of a prepubescent teen as well as that of a dragon. I later learned, that they could their dragon form whenever they wished. after another 2 weeks, my boys were two full grown men.
they doted on their mother but was not above making mischief in the nearby Village. soon news that Dragons were real and were terrorizing a small Village near the home being built for us, reached his ears. without delay he returned.
I could, of course, not hide from him that I was no longer pregnant and the two full grown men had also apparently resided in our home. He could not believe what I had done. a great fight ensued in which both my boys became overprotective of their mother, especially since they had not known Their father. then, also, far from happy that his sons were to him, monsters, could no sooner remedy The situation then give birth himself. Serious, he banned The Boys from returning to the Village.
at one particular location, Dean became rather violent with me. the boys were away, once again disobeying their father. He had raised his hand and left and angry bruise on my cheek. disgusted with himself he left the house and did not return. the boys, angered by their father's aggression became even more boisterous in terrorizing the poor Village.
