- And why are we watching that stupid egg?

The brothers were all sitting around the living room, staring at the egg in the middle of their circle. It was a sunny day, they could have been playing outside !! But Grandma Rosiepuff smiled to them gently;

- Branch will hatch soon, she told them, Eggs always hatch around 9 months old, don't you wanna meet him when he hatches ? Legends says baby trolls get attached the most to first troll they see...

John Dory, Spruce and Clay just stared at the shell annoyingnly; and to thought they had wanted a sister ! Now there was another boy that would follow them everywhere without saying anything, just like Floyd--

Only Floyd, 3 years old at the time, was staring quietly at the blue shell. He curiously gently petted the blue hair comimg from the top. He wasn't annoyed that much, Floyd never got annoyed by anything as it seemed. His 3 older brothers just rolled their eyes at how quiet he was, which Floyd noticed and nervously placed with his fingers;

- I got more interesting things to do ! Clay left the room, I'm going in the yard to prepare my next prank.

- Clay you know very well that that material isn't for your age, let me help !! Spruce followed

John Dory looked over at Floyd;

- Aren't you gonna follow us ? He asked, surprised.

Floyd shook his head; he never talked this much. Maybe it was because he had hatched alone like Grandma had said Branch would need all their love ? He had not really any troll to which he ever told anything...

The pink haired toddler looked at John and back at the egg, then back at him.

- Well... okay, see you later Flo.

He left the room as well. Rosiepuff sat down next to the toddler, gently petting his hair;

- You wanna stay with Branch ?

He nodded.

- That's okay, we can wait together.

Floyd smiled to her and hugged her side, but he took Branch's egg and walked away with it. He always prefered to stay alone because, even if he tried to, he really did felt like he did not fit in... his older brothers already had something which he couldn't really be part of.

He placed the egg on the ground in his bedroom, he stared at it for a while, waiting... but the egg didn't even moved a single bit. Hadn't Grandma said Branch would hatch soon?? He didn't seemed excited to be born.

- ... I-I...I know the world sounds scary, Floyd told the egg.

Hearing his own voice felt unnatural. He just hugged the soft shell, giving his future baby brother all the love he could. He would make sure Branch was happy, he wanted to be the best brother to him ! If that meant waiting all night long he wouldn't let Branch hatch alone.

- Take your time, Floyd rassured him.

So he just went to his occupations, playing with his dolls with the egg next to him. Time to time Grandma walked in the room to make sure everything was okay, and John Dory was throwing rocks at Clay and Spruce in the yard-- a normal day.

Only Floyd slowly got more comfortable just staying with the egg; he felt important as he took care of it. Eventually Rosiepuff walked in the room again with his midday snack.

- There you go, angel, I made some apples, she gave him the plate, how is Branch doing?

Floyd just quietly took the plate and ate; he looked over at Branch's shell, still not moving. He started to tear up, saddened. Rosiepuff immediately comforted him;
