Chapter Eight: A New Territory

He woke to Paulina’s hand on his face. He looked up, smiling at her.

“This is a sight I don’t see outside a full moon.” She laughed a little. “Here. Eat. You’re probably hungry.” It took him a moment to realize what she meant. He glanced down, and saw that his chest was covered in his cobalt-blue scales. He must’ve finished the transformation last night.

His stomach growled. She giggled again. He started to eat softly from her hand. She’d offered up pancakes with butter and syrup. It was a good meal. There was plenty, too. She’d foreseen how hungry he’d be.

It wasn’t all that surprising that she was able to figure it out. They had been married for two years now, after all. That was twenty-four months of turning into a dragon once a month, during the full moon. He was curled around their egg, the white oval hiding softly in his chest.

“There we go.” She smiled at him. “I love you, Cobalt. Don’t worry about a thing when Rani gets back. I’ll tell her what’s going on. We’ll have to tell her now that the egg is laid and you’re too big to get through the staircase upstairs.” He smiled again. A soft laugh echoed in his throat.

He nuzzled her hand softly. Communication would be difficult for the next day or two, but she always seemed to understand what he wanted to say. All he could do was growl if he was upset, nuzzle her hand if he was happy or wanted to show his love, and sleep. And eat. And eat and eat and eat.

“ Are you still hungry?” She held up the plate again. He’d only eaten half of the food she had brought him earlier. He nodded, and then continued to eat carefully. His teeth could easily tear through her hand if he wasn’t careful. He’d also eat the plate, but that would happen before he hurt her.

He smiled a toothy grin at her before snuggling a little closer to his egg.

As his eyes scanned the egg, he was happy to see that it wasn’t cracked or chipped in any way. That was good. He curled his tail around it a little tighter. Just a little tighter. He didn’t know how he knew how to do this. He just knew. Maybe it was a dragon’s equivalent to the maternal instinct that the human women have.

“Are you sure that you’re not hugging the egg too tightly?” She cocked her head to the side as she asked the question. He nodded. “How are you sure?”

He gave her the equivalent of a shrug. She laughed a little at him and began to pet his head. A purr escaped his mouth. This always felt good. There was nothing on earth like being petted by his wife. She smiled at him, and then kissed his forehead.

“I love you, Cobalt.” She smiled as he continued to purr.. He was stuck with the inability to speak for the moment. He hoped that he’d be able to speak tomorrow or the day after.
