During her gestation, he was incredibly patient with her and got her everything she asked for. He loved just sitting with her and feeling the clutch squirm and wriggle around in her belly. He would grin from mandible to mandible.
"God, I can't wait...I can feel them pushing around..." He whispered, "Fighting for dominance.." He joked.
She giggled and smiled and soon enough, her gestation was complete. They arrived at the hospital, and she was placed under a sedative as she birthed the clutch.
He waited around, his mandibles twitching anxiously before he was finally approached.
"You'll be happy to know that there are six very healthy larvae. Three Laurata and three Eucalypti." The doctor said. He looked relieved.
"That's great..." He muttered, "And Lamya?"
"Resting comfortably. The sedative should wear off soon."
They were so soft looking. Small little pills of squish and peach fuzz. All in cute variety of color; blue, gold, pink, emerald, purple, and orange. He held two of her hands in his and gave a soft squeeze. "Look at them...we made those...!"
