Remy nodded with a smile, gazing at the egg lovingly.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage watched the egg too, humming softly after a moment. "How long do they stay in the egg," he asked. "And how old is it?"
|
|  |
|
|

|
"9 months, I'd say this one is about 6-7 months,"
|
|
|
|

|
Sage nodded, peering over at it before swimming over to look at it a bit closer. "I'm not sure how I'll manage to wait that long," he admitted with a chuckle
|
|  |
|
|

|
Remy chuckled. "Well, they grow up fast,"
|
|
|
|

|
Sage hummed softly, nodding along. "They do on earth too," he mused in thought. "Not that I know anything about human kids either," he noted, drowning slightly. Could he care for this child? He wasn't sure how
|

|
|

|
Remys gaze softened, "Hey, whats wrong?" he asked.
|
|
|
|

|
Sage just shook his head slightly. "I just...I've always killed. Never raised anything. Nurtured anything. I know nothing about raising a child and then growing healthy." He sighed heavily, just watching the egg glow under remys care. "It scares me," he admitted softly

"Sage, honey. Do you remember I was your specimen for how many months? You kept me alive, you nutured me, and then you brought me out of the water and taught me how to live,"
|
|
|
|

|
Sage let out a sort of bitter laugh. "I kept you alive because we needed you that way. And I just tossed things at you without knowing anything about you. We got lucky." He shook his head glumly. "I don't want our child to just be another experiment," he murmured
