"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be rude by shouting like that. I was just… surprised. I've never heard of this, so… it's a bit hard for me to digest it."
Abigail actually laughed. She enjoyed Arielle's panicked expression. "I see, I see… Otis said that humans are only pregnant for nine months. The comparison of nine months to ten years is a drastic number, but for those of us who have a lifespan of hundreds of years, that's not surprising. Even when I first heard that humans are only pregnant for nine months, I was shocked too. For us, nine months is just a blink of an eye."
Abigail explained in detail how dragons got pregnant and laid their eggs. They would maintain their human form to hold their pregnancy. Abigail had been holding her pregnancy for ten years since her husband died. They did it so that when they laid the eggs, they didn't have to wait long for the eggs to hatch.
