Once their hair retracted back, Branch held the queen close in a spooning position as he thinks to himself.
"Hey.. Poppy?"
Poppy's ear twitched at his voice.
"Yeah?"
"About earlier.. I was acting up because- well..."
He gently wraps his hair around her's and held her close.
"I couldn't imagine anything happening to our little baby.."
Poppy looks back at him confused.
"Branch, what are you talking about? We don't have a-"
She starts as she reaches into her hair, tho she stops when she felt it. It was tiny, but noticeable. The growing egg was attached to a thousands strands of her hair making it safer since its so small and fragile.
She looks to branch in shock.
"I wasn't sure yesterday or earlier today.. But now, after all of that... I felt it.. So no putting your hair in a ponytail until it's hatched."
Poppy smiles and nods as she turns and hugs him.
A few mouths later, the egg finally separated from her hair which meant it was only a couple days away from hatching. Poppy wanted to look after the egg at home so Branch did the important royal duties during the day.
It was midnight and Poppy woke up to the feeling of the egg moving. She moved her hair out of the way and put her hand on it. She smiled and was quick to wake Branch up. He rubs his eyes and groans.
He had a long day but hopefully this will cheer him up.
"Poppy? What's wrong..?"
Branch asks as they both sit up.
Poppy reaches into her hair and pulls the egg out. His eyes widen as he realized.
"Is it time??"
Poppy is smiling so much she could squeal any second.
"I think so! EEK!"
Then egg started to crack and the two fell silent. The egg then shattered and liquid like glitter leaked from the bottom of the remaining egg. There it- no. -she was.. Her parents stare in awe at he beautiful appearance.
She was lighter colors, soft pink skin that faded to a soft blue to her hands and feet. She had glitter freckles like her mother and light blue hair.
The baby opens her eyes for the first time and instantly rubs them. She then stares up at her parents, she hade her father's eyes.
"Pastel.. I think that's what her name will be.."
Poppy says as she picks her up from the egg and cleans the glittery egg liquid from her face.
"I think it's a perfect name."
Branch says as he gets off the bed and kisses her forehead.
I'll clean this up.
The End~
