Chapter 3: Nurturing Life

Hange gently rubbed my heavily swollen stomach, and I could feel my dragon eggs shift as they continued to develop inside me. The sensation was both fascinating and unsettling, but with Hange's loving touch, I felt a deep sense of calm. I was lying on my side, and Hange's hands cradled my belly, his fingers tracing the contours of my swollen abdomen. As I continued to eat the juicy meat that Hange had provided for me, I felt a surge of energy and nourishment flow through my body. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I devoured it eagerly, savoring the taste and texture. Hange watched me with a pleased expression, his eyes shining with love and adoration. Suddenly, Hange let off a deep, guttural growl, and I felt a vibration run through his body. I looked up at him, wondering what had caused the sudden outburst, but he just smiled and continued to rub my stomach. The growl seemed to be a manifestation of his excitement and joy, and I felt a sense of happiness and contentment wash over me. As I ate, Hange continued to hold me gently, his arms wrapped around my waist, and his hands supporting my swollen belly. I felt safe and protected in his arms, and I knew that he would do everything in his power to ensure the health and well-being of our unborn children. The sun was shining through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers. It was a peaceful and serene atmosphere, and I felt grateful to be surrounded by such beauty and love. As I finished my meal, Hange leaned in close, his face inches from mine. "You're doing great, Nick," he whispered, his voice low and soothing. "Our little ones are growing strong and healthy." I smiled, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. I was proud of my body for nurturing our children, and I was grateful to Hange for his love and support. Hange's hands continued to rub my stomach, and I could feel the dragon eggs shifting and moving inside me. It was a strange but wonderful sensation, and I felt a deep connection to the life growing within me. As we lay there, basking in the warmth and love of the moment, I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. We were building a family, and our little dragon princes were going to bring us joy and happiness beyond anything we could have imagined.
