Damien wasn't quite sure what it was when he first saw it sitting a top the couch where he and Alabaster had decided to sleep the night before. His eyes lingered upon it and blinked slowly against the morning light, before his head tilted to match his perplexed expression. What was this... This black egg doing here? His arms left Alabaster's side in exchange for the egg and slowly lifted it up from it's space.
"Bast... Bast!" Damien whispered, giving his husband a nudge with his foot. "Look at this!"

Now Alabaster had been in a nice deep sleep when his nose was nudged by Damien's smelly clawed foot and slowly crept out of the groggy fog that was his sleep. What was Damien so excited about? It was too early for squealing... He rubbed his hand across his face and sighed.
"Whaaat...? I was dreaming..." He grumbled, allowing himself to sink back into the cushions. "What time is it?"

"Seven, but don't go back to sleep!" Damien cried, reaching over to shake Alabaster's arm. "I think this is an egg, Bast! Like, an egg for babies!"
He whined and flopped against Alabaster's legs in a weak attempt at getting him up, before shrieking in surprise as the egg burst into flames. He plopped the egg onto the couch and flailed.
"IT'S ON FIRE! BAST! HELP ME PUT IT OUT!" He screamed.

Alabaster shook his head. An egg? Why would there be an egg on the couch? He pried his eyes open, just as Damien launched the now flaming egg onto his tails. He paused, furrowed his brows, and slowly, the realization hit him. There was an egg, on the couch, right here, just there...
And it was on fire.
"HOLY CRAP, OKAY DON'T PANIC!" He replied, gently flapping his tails upon the surface of the egg until it stopped flaming before scooping it up into his arms. "Where did this thing come from? Did we forget to close the door or something?"

Damien shook with fright as the egg was quickly put out and heaved a sigh. Flaming eggs in the morning? Not how most people wanted to spend their morning... He leaned over and rubbed his hand gently along the warm surface of the egg and smiled to himself.
"I'm sure that I locked the doors, honey." He said, running his finger over the orange marking along the front of the egg. "...I think this is ours. Our baby."

Alabaster watched Damien run his hands along the egg and gave it a confused look. An egg... For them? His eyes widened and softened into a bleary red hue before he wrapped his arms around the egg. Their egg, their baby! The Legendaries had blessed them with a gorgeous baby of their very own! He was going to snuggle and love this baby so much when it hatched!
"Oh... Damien." He said, sniffling. "I've been waiting for this day since we got married. My dad always told me stories of eggs being given to couples who truly deserved them... And we got one."
He placed his hand on top of the egg and gave it a gentle rub, before squeaking in surprise as a burst of black flame engulfed his hand and quickly went out. What was it doing? Was it disturbed by being touched so much?
"... I hope they like us." He sighed, leaning against Damien. "And get along with Adriana, Meiling, and Marcus."
He paused, his eyes growing wide.
"How are we going to support so many people?" He exclaimed. "We already have three children, my sister, Crystal, Sybelle, Gabriel, and Osha living with us! Should we look for a bigger house? Is that even possible? Oh, Arceus, how are we going to accommodate this new little one? Do we have enough room, food, and money? Oh, Arceus, Oh, Arceus..."

Damien chuckled as the little black flame was quickly snuffed out and nuzzled Alabaster. He knew very well that they'd need to work a heck lot more than they usually did to support this new baby, given all the people that they already housed and took care of, but wouldn't it all be worth it in the end? This was their baby, a child that would resemble the both of them. They couldn't be ungrateful for a gift like that. He smiled and patted the side of the egg.
"We'll be fine, sweetheart, what's one more baby to love and cuddle?" He assured. "Maybe Crystal can get a part time job to help us with bills, I'm sure she wouldn't mind. Besides, Sybelle and Gabriel are already looking for a new place, too, so I've heard. We'll have plenty of room for this baby. Don't worry about a thing, okay? We can make it through anything."

Alabaster made a face and shook his head. Crystal would sooner shave her head than get a job, she was way too "dainty" to work. However, the prospect of Sybelle and Gabriel moving out made him feel a little better. That would mean two more rooms open and free for use and a whole lot more privacy. He simmered into the couch again and smiled.
"Yeaaah, you're right, Damien. We'll be fine." He agreed, his eyes fluttering closed. "... I can't wait to meet our new baby. Who do you think they'll look like more?"

Damien paused at the question and pursed his lips, before noticing smoke rising from the surface of the egg.
"Uh, maybe we should put the egg in the sink before it bursts into flames again." He said, taking the egg into his arms again. "Settle down in there, little one... You'll melt your shell!"
He skirted into the kitchen and placed the egg in the sink, before turning on a steady stream of cool water. But, soon, the kitchen filled with steam and sent Damien back out into the living room with the egg wrapped in a towel.
"... I don't think they like water." He chuckled. "Everything was evaporated before I could blink!"

Alabaster scoffed and took the towel wrapped egg back in his arms.
"Of course they don't, they're part fire type like me!" He replied, giving the egg a quick rub down with the towel. "Did mean ol' daddy Damien give you a bath? How rude."
He patted the egg a few more times and nuzzled into Damien's side again, just before the egg began to smoke again.
"I think they're doing this to spook us." He said, giving the egg a pout. "... We're going to be in for something, I can tell you that."

Damien stuck his tongue out at Alabaster and nuzzled into his shoulder.
"Oh, pfffft." He said, waving the smoke away from his face. "I promise not to bathe them if they promise not to burst into flames again. That was scary enough!"
He laughed and planted a kiss on the top of the egg, before kissing Alabaster's cheek a few times.
"Well, whatever you are, we'll be ready for you." He cooed. "Smoke, fire, and all."
