**Chapter 3: New Beginnings**

As I continued to gaze at the holographic image, Hange's eyes never left mine, filled with a mix of excitement and adoration. The dragon eggs, pulsing with life, seemed to be growing stronger by the minute. I could feel a sense of wonder and trepidation building up inside me, but with Hange by my side, I felt a sense of calm and reassurance. "How many eggs are there?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Hange's smile grew wider as he replied, "There are five, my love. Five little dragon eggs, each one unique and full of life." He paused, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "The doctors say that the eggs are developing at an incredible rate, and they should hatch soon." I felt a surge of emotions, a mix of excitement and nervousness. I had never imagined that I would be a mother to multiple dragon eggs, but as I looked at Hange, I knew that I was ready for this new chapter in our lives. As we continued to marvel at the holographic image, the hospital room was filled with a warm, gentle light. The machines beeping around us seemed to fade into the background, and all that mattered was the life growing inside me. Suddenly, the door to the hospital room slid open, and a team of medical professionals entered, led by a woman with a kind smile and a stethoscope around her neck. "Good morning, I'm Dr. Samantha Taylor, the lead obstetrician on your case," she said, her eyes sparkling with warmth. Hange stood up, his hand still holding mine, and greeted the doctor. "Dr. Taylor, it's great to see you. We've been waiting for your update on the eggs." Dr. Taylor smiled and nodded, her eyes scanning the room. "I see you've already seen the ultrasound images. The eggs are indeed growing at an incredible rate, and we're expecting them to hatch anytime soon." I felt a surge of excitement and nervousness as Dr. Taylor continued, "We need to run some more tests to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly. But I must say, this is a remarkable case. We've never seen dragon eggs develop at this rate before." As the medical team began to prepare for the tests, Hange leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm scared, but I'm also excited. I know that this is just the beginning of our new journey together." I smiled, feeling a sense of reassurance wash over me. "I'm scared too, but I'm also excited. We're in this together, Hange. Always." As the medical team began their tests, I felt a sense of peace wash over me. I knew that I was in good hands, and that Hange would be by my side every step of the way. We were embarking on a new journey, one that would change our lives forever. But I was ready, as long as Hange was by my side.
