 Simia bit her lip, gazing at her reflection in the pool of water. There was no denying it now... She'd tried to ignore what had been happening recently, but now it was official. There was no way around it.
Simia was getting... fat.
...
No, she WAS fat.
Simia growled and splashed her now fully healed paw into the water viciously, displacing the water so that her reflection wouldn't be clearly visible. That was better. Simia always felt better when she couldn't see her physical faults (not that she had any psychological faults... OBVIOUSLY. ninja ). But now that she was with her mate, Lysander - the thought of him brought a goofy grin to her face - Simia was beginning to get a little worried that he might notice...
Of course, Simia was still a beautiful dragon... Much better than some of the dragons in the mountains... But he had known her way back when... like, a few weeks ago, when she had been skinny, and not... (Simia shuddered) Fat.
"Ohh.... That stupid gopher meat!" Simia growled, throwing a little tantrum by the side of the pool of water, "It must be, like, totally fattening... I will NEVER eat gopher meat again."
Which was a sad thing for her, since she'd actually been getting to like the taste of it.

Lysander was worried, he couldn't find Simia, and if his suspicions were correct then she needed more care then normal. He had seen a few pregnant females in his time and they shared a few things with his lovely mate. Not only did they share the same full belly that signaled that eggs were being formed but also they had an aura about them... or at least to Lysander they had an aura about them.
He wasn't sure how to broach the subject with Simia and only hoped she took it well. Lysander headed toward the river, calling out his mates name as he went, hoping she would answer him. They really needed to have that conversation soon so that Lysander had an excuse of being more of a mother hen then normal.

"Ohh..." Simia groaned softly as Lysander's voice arose, calling her name. She didn't want him to see her this way... Of course, at the very time when she wished he would just leave her to herself, and not be around to notice Simia's weight gain, he felt the need to know where she was every second of every day... She really hoped he wasn't some type of stalker. After all, she did love him... But she hadn't known him very long... For all she knew...
Anyway, the more likely reason for his overprotectiveness was pity. Simia hated pity. She hated that he would feel like he had to stay with her because she was getting fat and no one else would ever take her...
"I'm here," Simia called back miserably, laying her head down on her paws.
((Here Simia's overdramatic-ness comes into play. sweatdrop ))

Lysander gave a relieved sigh when he heard Simia called out. He knew he was being silly but this was the first time that someone he actually loved was pregnant and he wanted to make sure everything went fine.
Frowning at the sight of his mate looking so upset, Lysander was determined to bring up his suspisions. Hopefully it would bring Simia out of the funk she was in.
Laying down by Simia, Lysander nuzzled her a second before coming out and saying what he tought, "Meeya love, I think...well I think you might be pregnant. It's just you have this glow about you that I've only ever seen around other pregnant females."

Simia blinked. Pregnant? The thought had never occured to her... Now that she thought about it, it did seem likely... She and Lysander had been doing... that. She hadn't started gaining wait until after... She had pains in her abdomen every so often... Simia could very well be... pregnant.
"I glow?" she asked skeptically. That was so sweet... Lysander thought she glowed. And she'd been so worried a second ago, thinking he thought she was fat. But no, he thought she glowed! It was so sweet...
Wait a second...
"Uh, Lysander... Hun? How many other pregnant females have you seen... and... under what circumstances?" she asked him, her eyes narrowing suspiciously though her tone was nonchalant.
((Pregnancy-induced mood swings for the win?! xd ))

Lysander didn't realize the danger he was currently in other wise he would have been much quicker to reasure his mate, as it was he ended up stopping to think about it. "Probably around 3 or 4 while I was traveling but none looked anywhere near as stunning as you, probably because your my mate."

"OH!" Simia burned with rage, "Well if it's only three or four, that's FINE then, isn't it? Doesn't that make ME feel special" She scowled at him. "and as for me being your mate? We'll see about that."
And with that she stormed off, hampered only slightly by her large belly.
"I can't believe I'm carrying YOUR eggs! I can tell ya' one thing! I ain't gonna raise 'em. You can take 'em to those other 'three or four' dragons that love ya' so much."

Lysander eyes widen comicly and he started to swear mentally. He hadn't thought of what it sounded like if you didn't know better or if you happened to be emotionally involved in little details.
"Simia wait!" Lysander called after her, "It's not like that! I wasn't with them...or anyone. It's only ever been you. Yes I met up with pregnent females but it was them and thier mates. I had no part in making of any eggs besides ours. You have to believe me Meeya, I wouldn't do something like that."
Lysander was damn near panicking over the thought of losing his mate and future children only after a few weeks of finding them. There was no way he could go back to traveling the world alone and he didn't know what he would do if Simia left him.

Simia turned slowly to face him, and suddenly tears began to build in her eyes. She ran to him and buried her face in his fur, wailing pathetically.
"I-I'm sorry!" she sobbed, "I-It's just that you're so- so- NICE!!!" She wailed into his fur. "C-Compared to other guys I've been with any- anyway."
Her eyes widened.
"I-I mean, n-not like that! B-But, like... Old boyfriends. W-We never did anything like that, but- but- some of them had, wi-with other females and- OH!" She buried her face further into his fur.
What was wrong with her? Was this normal for pregnant females?

Lysander closed his eyes and nuzzled Simia, muttering quietly, "I know, I know, It will be okay. I love you so much Meeya, never want to hurt you. Always there for you, no matter what."
When he had been told to expect the worse when expecting he hadn't truely believed it but he could understand now what they were talking about, but it didn't matter if this was going to be the norm for the while. As long as he had his family safe and realitively happy, Lysander was content.

Gradually Simia's sobs quieted, and she just breathed into Lysander's shoulder. Breathe in. Breath out. Breath in. Breathe out. She inhaled his scent... It was nice...
Simia moaned softly.
"I'm such a dork."
She paused, then added thoughtfully.
"I don't deserve you."
She was silent for a moment, then added one more thought:
"I hope our kids take after you."

"Nonsense love, any child of ours would be lucky to take after you." Lysander reasurred her.
"This is just all very new to us and soon we will figure out what we are doing and how to handle it. I know we were meant to be together and have a family. It's going to be fine, I promise you Meeya."
Lysander nuzzled Simia gently and looked into her eyes, "I would do anything for you Simia, all you have to do is ask."

Simia sighed, and looking into Lysander's eyes she was inclined to believe whatever he said.
"Okay," she nodded quietly, "Okay... I can make it through this... WE can make it through this..."
Her stomache grumbled in complaint.
"Oh," Simia frowned, looking down, "Hey, Ly, you really meant it when you said you'd do anything, right...? Well... Could you track down a deer, or like, a dozen gophers or something for me?"
She blushed self-consciously.
"When... When I thought I was getting fat, I kind of... Well, I didn't starve myself, but I definitely didn't eat as much as I usually do... And if I am pregnant, then... I probably should be eating more than usual... right?" She looked up at her mate questioningly. Was that right? She had no idea. This was her first time...

Lysander nuzzled Simia lovingly, "Of corse I will go find something to eat for you. Will you be staying here or heading back to the cave?"
He really didn't want to leave Simia alone but she did need more to eat and as her mate, Ly was going to get it for her, just not before he knew where she was in case she needed him.

"Thank you, love," Simia smiled nuzzling her mate. "Um..." She considered for a moment, then grinned. "I think I'll go back to the cave. I should probably start getting it safe for hatchlings, right?" She beamed at him, suddenly ecstatic to be having children.
Children! She had never expected to have children! At least... not with a male around to help raise them. Subconsciously, she supposed that she'd always assumed that a male would eventually succeed in getting her to sleep with him, and then that he'd leave her...
She was so glad that she'd found Lysander, instead.
With a small wave, Simia began walking back to the cave, already thinking about what she could do to make it kid-safe.
