Something new came from his brother. This was another man, one with eyes that sparkled a bright, bright gold. This was 'mommy'? Skylark suddenly was tired. For some reason, he had a feeling he should sleep. What he didn't realize was resting his mind would help him develop, though it was important to think, as well. Suddenly, he was overcome with a feeling of being weightless. Deciding to let it go, Skylark drifted off, the mental connection with his brother severed in the process. 

Edge rubbed Sleipnir's egg a bit longer, then slowly stood up. After making sure they were warm, edge crept back to his and Path's shared bedroom, where the dragon was still peacefully sleeping. Edge knew that his mate was in a coma, but was unsure if he could hear him. Now would be the best time, he thought, to confess. Edge tenderly sat in his mate's stomach and squeezed Path's shoulders. They were so tough... 

"Path-Path?" He asked, though realized he would recieve no response. "The kids are okay. They're still eggs, of course. But. Um... I need to, to confess something to you.' Edge realized his eyes were a bit wet, abnd he paused to regain his composure. "I know you're familiar with mind control, seeing how you can induce it and all. Well, I might have hypnotized you at one point." Edge paused once more. "And when I did turn you into my slave, that was when you giot pregnant. I know..." Edge paused. "You can hear me. And I'm sorry. If, when you wake, you want me to leave, I get it. Just- Just know that I love you." Edge's hand traveled to his own heart. "Even a heart as cold and black as a hydra's can feel love. I just love you so, so, so much!" With that, Edge bolted out of the room.

*Mini-Timeskip!*

It had been seven days since Path had fdallen asleep, and Edge had made it his point to make sure the eggs were always warm. He would caress their shells and read to them. Currently, Edge was sitting on a sofa with one egg on ewither side of him They had grown quite a bit. Edge couldn't even carry them anymore; he had to roll them. "Daddy loves you, Sleipnir. You too, Skylark!" Edddge soothed. He giggled. He didn't think they could understand him, but he usually got a nudge from Sleipnir. If he couldn't feel Skylark's heartbeat, he wouldn't have thought there was a baby in there. 

BY now, Skylark was able to understand his daddy speak Dragons were, after all, fast learners. PLus, he had nothing better to do than to learn. And he could tell he loved to learn. "Sleipnir?" Skylark voiced. Skylark's voice was similar to Edge's, but was softer and filled with wonder. "I love you, Sleipnir... I want to meet Daddy now... Do you?" He voiced telepathically.
