I know you have to keep them warm and clean them after they hatch. They will be stronger than a human baby, but they will be the same size as one. They will need to be nursed and fed pureed meat for their proteins they need.

*Jiho explained that, though he never had babies before, he had seen some raised. He also explained that Jonghyun will gave a mothering instinct kick in as well.*

We will have to help him. Four eggs is a lot, in the wild, normally there is only one, maybe two. They probably made him more fertile as well as you so that those kinds of numbers will happen.

*Hazuki smiled as he pulled Jaejin into his side to cuddle up to him. Maya made an adorable sound at how cute they were and grinned. Hazuki just chuckled and shook his head at the lively dragon.*

It's okay, princess. You don't have to worry about anything. And besides, if you find out any of is have been mistreated, you can tell your friend and they can take care of it. You're the key to the inside look on dragons now, you were the missing part of your research.

*Hazuki reassured Jaejin as Maya left them to go play in the water. He was still curious about the opening in the far wall where the strong scent of dominance and new life came from. He had been told to stay away from there for a little while, but he was so curious. He still kept to his word and the will of the territories dominant, staying away until the time was right.*

Up to six months. Some could be earlier, since they have almost four months of gestation to become an egg, they have longer to form the baby inside.

*Jiho said as he looked at the glistening eggs. He was happy and excited to see this first hand, but he knew his own would be warming by the time those hatched.*

It is a long waiting process, but these eggs are bigger than even a Kiwi's.

*Hazuki smiled and led Jaejin back to the den. He pulled the younger into his lap and sat down on their bedding, holding the younger close. He cuddled and scented Jaejin as his.*

I'm sure your friends will be over to see you. I would like for you to get close with Maya, help him get comfortable around here. He is unsure of himself and things around here and I don't want him getting hurt.

*Hazuki said as he rubbed Jaejin's side gently. He pressed a kiss to his temple gently and tended to his needs.*

*Maya was a curious thing, he drifted closer to the entrance to the other enclosure a few times before staring at it. He was curious, but he walked away after some time. The fish were his favorite, he loved to swim and play with them. He mad himself a bed where he could look up at the sky and see the stars, feeling free now that he was in this environment.*

*Jiho flushed and smiled shyly to Seungho before he settled at his side. It had been a busy day for them, but things wound down for their dinner and Jonghyun was getting his energy back well. It would be a few days until he was completely recovered.*

*In the days to pass, Maya had gotten very curious, and Hazuki knew why they had put him there, but the time wasn't right. Maya wasn't ready for that, but he had a feeling he would be proven wrong.*

*Since things had calmed down from the eggs being laid, Jonghyun was cuddling up to Seungho and gave him a soft pout along with his puppy eyes.*

Dominant, can we go see Jaejin now? Please? I'm feeling better.

*Jonghyun grinned and hopped up to press a kiss to Seungho's cheek. He held onto the dominants hand as Jiho did the same while they walked to the territory. The hole was made to look like a cave to keep them immersed in their territory. When they reached the other side, they saw the three unknown dragons at the river.*

*Jonghyun recognized the scent and the sound of Jaejin's voice, smiling with a soft chuckle as the tiny new dragon call the dominant oppa. The brilliantly colored male turned to them after accepting the fish, only to have it flop from his hands back into the water.*

You must be my mates friends that I have been hearing about.

*Maya looked up and smiled brightly as he went to the bank of the river. His wet hair clung to his horns awkwardly and stuck to his skin as he looked to the new dragons in their area.*

You're the ones I keep smelling from the other side! I keep smelling bamboo fields and snow capped mountains.

*Jonghyun smiled brightly, hugging Jaejin tight. He was happy to see Jaejin finally be like them and have someone to make him happy. He bowed respectfully, as did Jiho, to the other dominant.*

I'm so glad Jaejin finally became like us and is happy with a mate.

*Jonghyun said with a smile as the blonde dragon pulled himself out of the river and shook off the water.*

Oh, he created you and your dominant? That's so cool, Jaejin, you must be like, super smart!

*Maya said with a happy grin as he went over to greet them. Jiho was shocked by the others coloration, he had to have come from another mountain like he had, but his scent was different. He could also see that he hadn't been mated yet.*

I could tell Jaejin would need more help understanding our kind, so I persuaded him to become like us. I'm glad to see he is happy, it was all I really did want. I am Hazuki.

*He said with a respectful bow to the dominant that was his guest.*

You were a human before? Wow! I can't believe it, you really are very smart! I have never met a human that has been as smart as you. You've done a lot!

*Maya said in surprise, he knew Jaejin was just self conscious, no other human would have been able to do what he had done. Jonghyun had to agree, Jaejin was a very smart human.*

He's right, Jaejin-hyung. You are really smart. Let's all do something together!

*Maya grinned brightly as he played with Jonghyun. Jiho made sure not to get as rough as Maya and Jonghyun were, he was carrying eggs now. He looked to Jaejin and hummed in thought, a strange scent coming from him. Leaning over to the smaller dragon, he sniffed him gently before smiling brightly.*

You're with child, Jaejin! It doesn't smell like a dragon with eggs, but I can smell new life on you.

*Hazuki leaned in and smelled his small mate's scent, smelling new life just as Jiho had said. He pulled back and gathered Jaejin into his arms and hugged him close.*

You are, my love. It may not be eggs, or it may be. We will have to see, but I will protect you and our child with my life.

*Maya smiled brightly at the news, hugging Jonghyun in excitement as they all congratulated the mates on their new child. Maya pulled away from Jonghyun and went to Seungho, looking the dominant over curiously. Like Jiho, he too was a little taller than Seungho. He looked over the gold scales, the metallic colors glimmering in the sun.*

You must be from a line of mountain descendants, your colors show that and they are excellent fliers.

*He noted as he moved to sit down in front of the dominants curiously.*

I'm Maya.

I suppose this will call for a celebration. All of your friends are invited as well as their dominant.

*Hazuki smiled as he held his precious small mate close in a loving gesture. He looked to the dominant visiting his area and gave him a friendly smile.*

You're a good dominant. Your submissives are safe, I mean no harm to them or you. I will even help your submissive teach you all of our ways from the wild, the magic we possess that is locked within you.

*Maya looked to Seungho before looking to Hazuki with a bright grin.*

Oh oh! I know a little bit, too! Can you teach me more?

*He heard a soft chuckle coming from the other bright submissive and tilted his head as he looked to Jiho.*

I'd love to teach you all as well. It will help me feel more at home...

*Jiho said as he flushed gently. He did really miss home, but doing this and getting to know his dominant and growing family would help him feel at home.*

We will teach you, then. I lived mostly with humans as of recent years, but it seems as if your submissive lived mostly with our own kind.

*Hazuki said as he moved his hands down to rub Jaejin's tummy slowly. He leaned down to press a kiss to Jaejin's cheek.*

I want to learn more, too! I know only a little bit, but I really want to learn how to fly.

*Maya said as he looked over to Jiho, his tail swaying behind him playfully.*

I can teach you, but I have to be careful. I'm carrying Seungho's eggs now.

*Jiho said proudly as he snuggled up to the brightly colored dominant. Jonghyun smiled as he looked over excitedly to Jaejin.*

Yeah, Jiho finally accepted Seungho and I laid my eggs! We are doing our best to incubate them properly and have babies.

Yes, of course I'll teach you. You'll need to learn to be one of us if you are to live among us.

*Hazuki said with a smirk, he had plans for escaping, but for now they would remain here so they could all learn and grow stronger.*

I'll be careful, I promise.

*Jiho said with a smile as Maya cheered excitedly and moved to hug Jiho and Seungho, thanking both of them.*

I'm really excited, hyung! They're warming still, and Jiho said it will take some time to incubate before they hatch.

*Jonghyun held onto Jaejin's hands as he grinned happily to the younger, newer dragon.(

*Hazuki smiled softly and let Jaejin go interact with his new friends. He beckoned Seungho to follow him with a friendly gesture as he let the submussives socialize.*

Come, walk with me. I mean no threat, I promise.

*Once they were out of earshot of the submissives, he started to talk.*

I wanted to talk with you, help you learn about our kind in the wild. You will need to know this, I am planning an escape for all of us. For this to work, though, we will need you and the others to learn how to fly.

*Hazuki explained calmly as he walked with Seungho.*

I wanted to speak to you about this so it wouldn't over excite your submissive bearing eggs. As for those that are already laid, we can make something to cary them in and keep them warm.

*Hazuki wanted to make sure Seungho knew what the world was like out there for their own kind so he knew how to better protect his mates and territory.*
