As I see the crack down the egg Cetoddle starts to shake me while crying with increasing volume. 'So this egg is a Swinub which means they'll probably come out around 2 inches tall or something.. This is why never wanted to be a parent.. did I not what to be a parent? I could've sworn..'
Shaking my head I lick at Cetoddle while hugging them to calm them down. 'It'll take a couple minutes for it to break out of the egg if I go based on my own experience so might as well wait.'
Sitting and finally giving Cetoddle some attention both me and the baby slightly play for a couple of minutes until a cracking sound is heard. Looking over to egg with out alarming Cetoddle, another crack is on the egg with it slightly rocking back and forth.
In another minute or so multiple lines are on the egg with multiple small openings until a small Swinub squeezes through a larger hole and as it does so the egg crumbles. 'That's weird I just realized that the eggs are full sized like the egg was a foot tall but the swinub is only 2-3 inches.'
The Swinub moves slowly and looks around until I step near it by removing Cetoddle from my head. When I get in Swinub's eyesight they make their way to me and start to rub themselves on me.
'So another child... Wait what am I stressing for I'm not the one who has to take care of them that's Amelia's problem!' While I'm smirking to myself Cetoddle comes over and looks at Swinub and makes coo's towards it while Swinub makes a oinking sound and they both 'hug' me with increasing force.
'The next step is wait for Amelia to get back and then I can dump the kids on her and then I can continue to mess with my shroud, and while I didn't feel it before this shroud is most definitely some part of my ability. While it needed certain energies to enable now that its out I'm not using any energy to keep it up which definitely means its different from a move since even Hone Claws requires some energy to be used and enabled.'
Grabbing both of the baby's using my shroud I hope back onto the bed and try my hardest to control both of them. Espically Cetoddle since in his baby brain he's made the correlation that cracks on eggs mean siblings. 'How he made that correlation I have no idea since he's like a week old.'
Another 50 minutes later both of the baby's have tucked themselves out and have started to whine and cry. 'For gods sake your going to try to destroy multiple eggs that aren't ready to hatch and then your going to cry about me stopping you? The newborn can cry all they want their probably just hungry.'
Moving my shroud to hold the children in place I jump of the bed and go into a bag on the floor holding multiple things like berries and Pokeblocks. Grabbing 2 oran berries and three Pokeblocks one yellow and sour another red and spicy while the final is neutral tasting.
Hopping on the bed again I give the sour and spicy Pokeblock's and an orange berry to Cetoddle while I give the final Pokeblock to Swinub and eat the other orange berry myself. 'Ah Cetoddle doesn't like the sour one but he likes the spicy one? I mean put it down but he keeps nibbling at it when he thinks I'm not looking. Doesn't these mean something in IV's or something. like sour for Special Defense? and spicy for Attack?'
After are impromptu lunch both of children start to yawn and go towards me and Cetoddle grabs my tail and lays it's body on it while Swinub rubs itself on me. '...Fine...' Laying down and using my shroud to bring Swinub and the eggs close to me I then "retract" the shroud back into myself.
After checking that I can still bring the the shroud back out I fully relax. 'Might as well get some sleep. Not like I could do anything else in this position.' Sighing I ease into the pillow my back is pressed into and close my eyes and apparently I'm a lot more tired than I thought since I fall asleep nearly immediately.
