Every word she spoke resonated within him, echoing those he had thought himself. Cy gave a mental swallow, having the strangest sense of deja vu. How was it that she seemed to know exactly what he was thinking? It was almost as if they had been designed for each other. Hoping he wasn't being the one to go too far with this, he managed to ask, "So you would consider being lifemates?"

"Consider? Cy... It's all I've wanted for awhile now." Seren looked into Cyabo's salmon eyes, studying them, wondering how she'd managed to not show him enough how much she loved him. She had thought that she was doing a fairly decent job. She settled back into the curve of his arms, they seem to have been made just to hold her.

"So that's a yes?" It obviously was, but the sheer joy of knowing that she felt the same way was making him giddy, and slightly mischievous. His hands fiddled with the clasp on her top again.

"Yes." Seren kissed him for all she was worth. She wanted to be as close to him as possible, not caring that his hands were on the clasp of her top, she wanted the barrier gone. She couldn't have been happier.

Returning the kiss, Cy makes short work of her top...

~ Chapter Seven ~ Serenata sat in the nursery, humming as she watched over the eggs while the small fry played on the other side of the room. The five eggs before her were her own, two larger than the others. She looked up as Echo entered the room, the poor girl had looked so lonely lately. Echo sighed as she swam into the nursery, flicking her tail to push herself further through the water. Still getting used to her new form she stretched before settling down on a sponge next to Seren. Her eyes wondered towards the newly hatched fry. "It's gotten busy in here..."

Cy eased his way into the room, past a swarm of rather excited fry that were chasing each other just outside the opening. When he spotted Seren and their eggs, a broad smile stretched across his face, proud and just slightly preening, making him seem so much like his father at that moment. Making his way over, he made certain to keep out of the way of Echo, who still seemed to be getting used to the extra appendages. "You'll get used to them, girlie."

"I know I will... " Echo replied to her brother, That's not what's been bothering me... She added silently to herself. Looking up, she saw the way her brother looked at his mate, and the way she looked back at him. That would be what's bothering me... Why can't I find what they have? Echo sat back against the sponge, moodily staring at the fry.
Seren, beamed at her Mate as he swam towards her. She couldn't help but feel bad for Echo, having theories about what really bothered the poor girl. Lately, Echo hadn't been as open with her as usual, passing bad moods off as nothing. She suspected that it was the males parading through all the time, trying for her affections and her inability to find her one. Seren frowned as Echo shifted away from her and Cy.

 From the scuffle of young ones outside the room came tumbling one who seemed to be wearing a headdress much too large for him. When he finally came to a rolling stop, in the center of the room between the content pair and the discontent maid, he shook himself off. "Er, whoops." Unable to help himself, Cy chuckled softly. "No harm done, Gild. You missed the eggs, and I think even Echo there could dodge *that*."

Echo Made a face at her brother. "I'm not THAT awkward anymore..." She cringed at the thought of her first excursion in her new form. It had ended so badly that Echo refused to let herself think about it anymore then necessary. Scooping up the small fry she checked him over for bumps and bruises. "Are you alright little guy?" She said in a very soft voice, she'd always felt a very strange connection with the little one, even when he was an egg.
Seren swatted at Cy, "Leave the poor girl alone. I seem to recall your own awkward moments..." She watched Echo with the little fry, children always seemed to cheer the female up. She's going to be a wonderful mother.

"Yus, ma'am." Gild took advantage of the moment to snuggle down in Echo's arms, which he had to admit were much nicer than her fins. Not that he minded her fins, but her arms were... Well, nicer. Aqua blue eyes peeped out at the eggs from behind her bicep, and he peered curiously at Cyabo and Serenata, having no idea what they were all talking about. Having not actually been around for Echo's first foray into the world of the humanoids, he hadn't seen her as anything but graceful and quick.
A bit of a pink flush crept across Cy's ears, as it tended to when Seren either touched or teased him.

Echo chuckled, cuddling the small fry close. Seeing Cy put off balance always seemed to put her in a better mood. "What's wrong, Cy?"
Seren leaned up and kissed Cy. "Be nice."

"I *am* being nice." Feeling the eyes of the young beta on him, Cy kept himself from saying, or doing, too much more. Instead, changing the subject, he reached out and smoothed a hand over one of the eggs. "Any signs of life?"
That interested Gild, too, and he peeked out even more, propping his little fins on Echo's forearm to get a better look at the eggs. "They gonna hatch, Miss Echo? Can I watch?"

"They were wiggling a little while ago. I think they might hatch anytime now." Seren beamed up at her Mate agian. She loved him more than anything, and was prouder than she'd ever been, knowing these were their eggs.
Echo laughed a little, "Of course you can, Gild." She scooted a little closer to the small pile of eggs. She smoothed a hand over the small fry, making sure his little headdress didn't fall over his eyes.

Wiggling excitedly, Gild managed to make the headdress slip down anyhow, then huffed and tried to blow it back into place. Never quite worked, and it was times like this that he really wished he had ears like Cy and Mect did. Those ears could do anything!
As if knowing they were being thought about, Cy's ears perked and twitched, though more at the prospect of his offspring pending emergence. "Really? Any time now?" He edged closer, then leaned in to look over his children.
