Sadness

Mom's not gonna be mad. Noooo way. It'll be fine. Aspen rubbed her expanding stomach.

"Aspen, we're almost there, you'll be fine. It's me I'm worried about." Birch, her husband, exclaimed.

"I know, I'm just nervous." Aspen replied. Birch leaned over and kissed her. "You'll be fine." he repeated.

"ASPEN BABYYYYYY!!!!" Willow comes speeding out of the tree house and barrels into Aspen. Sundew walks out and glances at Birch.

"... birch" she acknowledges him coldly. He grins and does his weird happy dance, making Apsen laugh.

"So, Mum, Mom. I...
"I'm pregnant." She held her breath.

"Oh... Em... GEEEEEEEEEEEE" Willow screams as Sundew starts crying.

"Mom are you okay?" Aspen asks, worried. Sundew walks inside, trying to hide her tears.

"I was thinking I'd name her Magnolia," Aspen tells Willow.

"Oh that's a beautiful name sweetie! And you decided to follow the Leafwing tradition? I couldn't have asked for a better daughter." Willow sobs and wraps her leaf-shaped wings around her daughter. Aspen melts into her mother's arms, crying as well.

A few months later

The minty green egg trembles.

"BIRCH! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!" Aspen shrieks. She looks over to where Birch is sleeping on his favorite chair.

"BIRCH YOUR DAUGHTER IS HATCHING GET UP RIGHT NOW!" Aspen yells.

"Whuzzapinin?" BIRCH snorts. The egg shivers and Aspen turns toward it immediately. It suddenly stops moving. Aspen leans forward and taps gently on the egg.

"Come on Magnolia, it's okay." she whispers. The egg doesn't respond.

"Birch?" Aspen calls. "I think something's wrong." Birch snorts again and this time, he wakes up.

"Huh?" he looks over to the baby crib where Aspen is standing over a dead dragonet, sobbing.

"My baby!" she shrieks and holds the dead child tight.

Birch slips his arm around Aspen's shoulders as she cries above baby Magnolia's grave- behind the Aspen tree where Aspen took her first steps.

"It'll be okay." he whispers to her gently. "It'll be okay."
