Hotwings: Reunited

Chapter 27: Better Late or Never

Normal POV

A few days passed and the final egg still hasn't hatched. The thing didn't even move whenever Hawks tapped on it. "I think this one might be a dud. It hasn't moved or even tried to hatch. In that case, I'm going to take Akari and Kuuhaku to a hospital to make sure they get checked up and put in the the system. I will be back in a few."

Hawks left with the two baby's bundled in blankets and in a closed basket. He made sure to fly low to the ground and slow just so he didn't damage their precious ears.

Dabi POV

I wanted to go with them, but with these scars, it would scare people since they think I'm dead.
I thought.

Hours seemed to pass when I began to get thirsty. I got up and walked passed the bed, noticing the lone egg sitting there.

"You're probably scared of me too." I say in my usual low voice. "That's why you don't want to hatch." My stomach grumbles and I chuckle under my breath. "Maybe I should just cook you for dinner." I placed my hand only a few inches from the egg and my fingers started to flame with a blue glow. I then noticed the sudden heat began to darken part of the shell, burning it. "Shit." I take my hand away and stop the flames.

I began to walk away to quench my thirst and hunger, heading towards the kitchen. "Hawks is going to kill me when he sees I burned the egg."

Before I could reach the fridge, I heard the sudden crack come from behind me. I pause in my tracks, thinking maybe I misheard.

Then, another crack.

I turn back and stand next to the bed. The cracks in the shell were small. The egg was labeled #2 but waited to hatch last.

I chuckled again at a sick thought. I light my hand up again, and flickered the flames near the egg again. "Common little eggie. You can do it. Get in the fire." I couldn't help but tease the poor thing. It was presumed dead by the one who birthed it, and now hatching after I said I wanted to eat it.

The heat did make it crack the shell a little quicker. The previous eggs hatched in under a minute each. But this one was taking more than ten before finally the baby inside was visible. I then stop my flames.

I looked at the baby and it looked at me. I did look and confirmed that it was, in fact, male. The child was glowing, not literally, but in his beauty. I was stunned. His eyes were golden and piercing my heart. He, like his siblings, had wings, but his were smaller. His face was round and his features matched his other dad, or mom? His hair....

"Of course it's red." I mumbled.

The baby used his hands to grab the air between us. I shook my hand to ensure that it was cool enough to touch him and proceeded to pick him up.

It was the first time I ever held such a small child. I hadn't touched the other two yet because Keigo was afraid I would drop them. He was cute. I looked around for a blanket but I didn't see one in sight. "I should probably name you. Maybe something involving beauty or handsome." I pull out my phone to look up name ideas. Eventually I found the kanji's I needed and set my phone down.

"Sorahiko?" I said while looking at him. "Sora means sky and Hiko means prince. Does that sound good to you?"

He simply looked at me before falling asleep in my arms. I then looked for paper, which Hawks always left in his nightstand, and a pen. "Shit." I said quietly, realizing I was holding him in my dominant arm. I took the pen with the other hand and wrote the best I could his name with the kanji's, and the time he hatched.

"I guess we will have to wait till the others get home to feed me." I whispered to myself.

Normal POV

It wasn't for another hour till Hawks finally made it home. He opened the door to see the lights off and Dabi laying on the bed. Hawks set the basket down and placed the two baby's into their cradles before heading to the side of the bed.
To his surprise, he found the now empty eggshell still where he left it. But Dabi was further up the bed laying at a weird angle fast asleep. In his arms he saw the tiny, still naked child held close to his chest. Dabi's chin just barely touching the baby's head. Hawks took his phone out and snapped a quick picture before resuming.

The dim lamp on the night stand caught his attention and moved closer to investigate. "Sorahiko?" Hawks said. "Oh. Another boy."

He leaned over Dabi to take a closer look at Sorahiko and noticed the little red hairs sprouting from his head. He couldn't help but think of what Dabi said before. If there is another red head, then I'm leaving.

Hawks smiled. "I knew you cared." He whispered under his breath. He went to the closet and reached for a thin, full sized blanket and threw it over the two.

(A/N- I hope y'all enjoyed that. Dabi and little Sorahiko! I will see you in the next chapter! -e/n).
