[Honestly, Legosi had assumed that what he was smelling was the fact Haru was getting sick. Just in a more general sense, nothing to do with being pregnant specifically. If he'd thought a bit harder about it, he might have started to suspect in a more correct direction...instead, he's been as blindsided as she was by the news.

The tip of his tail wiggles just a little bit as she reaches around to hold it, otherwise staying still in her grasp as they sit there together in the center of their small apartment.]


I guess...it will probably be a while until you feel anything.

[He's about as knowledgeable with this sort of thing as any other young man his age, which is to say...not very. It doesn't help that he dropped out, but it probably wouldn't have mattered either way. He'll learn everything he needs to know, be it from the doctor themselves, or the internet, or the plethora of books he's no doubt going to be picking up on the topic.

After a little pause, he'll reach over and cover Haru's hand against her middle with his own.]


It hasn't really sunk in yet.

[He can readily agree to that. It's going to take him just that long to get used to the idea, so he can't imagine how much more like a big deal it's going to feel like once others know. Not just their families, but their friends as well...it's really going to be surrounding their lives all at once. Surely Haru hasn't been pregnant for a huge amount of time, especially since these symptoms just recently developed. They have plenty of time to work out how they want to go about letting this information be known.

And if Haru thinks her family is overbearing...just wait until Gosha hears he's going to be a great grandpa.]


Yes...he would be happy to talk to you, I imagine. He raised me no matter how difficult I could be, so I doubt there is much that surprises him anymore.

[Well, beyond that time he learned his grandson was dating a rabbit. That was still pretty surprising.]

[...okay, that causes Legosi to snort on a laugh before he can stop himself.]

Please no...

[It's not that he looks back on his childhood badly, far from it. Even with how difficult the situation got with his mother, he was a happy child growing up. He never wanted for anything, and even being a hybrid he never felt the pressure of it because Gosha made sure to shield him from that harsh reality for as long as he could. Legosi was able to grow up thinking that having a komodo dragon for a grandfather was just a completely normal thing. He was special for having him in his life.

But...Gosha also was the type to document everything. Everything. Legosi is pretty sure there are half a dozen photos for every year of his life up until he moved out for school, so the amount there is for Haru to uncover is- quite honestly- going to be staggering. And once their child is born, that's going to be no exception.]


I hope you don't mind family photos...

[He imagines that's something Haru is also used to, with how many siblings she has.]

[Legosi's family was definitely a bit of an outlier in terms of what one might expect from your "textbook" hybrid family. Even with their komodo dragon blood, both his mother and Legosi himself looked like grey wolves in every way...at least until his mother started to grow scales as she grew older, things changing far too abruptly for her to be able to handle. Legosi wonders, sometimes, if he might begin to see similar changes in himself as he grows into an adult...he of course would embrace the changes, however strange. He's already gotten accustomed to the oddity of his regenerative abilities on top of his immunity to a komodo dragon's poison.]

I imagine...they aren't too much different from any other child, really.

[Even across species, children are children. Sure, a small rabbit is going to behave in some ways differently than a tiger cub for example, but they ultimately don't have the same concept of special differences at that age. Legosi was only so strongly aware of it because he'd grown up surrounded by reminders.]

Just bigger...toothier.

[Legosi finds himself squinting at the shape she makes with her fingers, even if he's close enough to get the gist without even having to be any nearer. Their offspring is scarcely more than a concept at this stage, slowly growing but very much there. Would the doctors be able to tell the predominant species of the child through ultrasound alone, he wonders? Would that not even be a factor you could see until they're born? It's not like it matters to him- he'd love them even if they had gills somehow- but he is curious. With how large their physical and biological differences are, the gene pool is vast and could be pulling from any number of places.

...Hell, this baby is going to be a small fraction part Komodo dragon themselves. It's pretty far removed at this point, but the fact of the matter is that it will be there. They'll be more hybrid than most, considering that fact.

As Haru rubs her eye, Legosi just...sets his muzzle gently atop her head, sniffing.]


It's okay. I think it's...exciting, to speculate what they might be like.

[Exciting, nervewracking...it's much better assuming they'll be okay and healthy than allowing himself to dwell on the possibility that some complications arise.]

And thank you...I know grandpa would be very happy to know you feel that way. He's worked very hard to find his happiness in life. This will only contribute to that.

[Haru's on the same brainwave as Legosi, seeing as how he'd immediately started to try to stand, only to have Haru wiggle herself free from him before he could properly get up. He decides to sink back into a sit, watching her go to the door while he waits in her wake. He's realizing that she's probably on borrowed time here, in terms of how much longer she'll be able to easily do things herself. Not that he imagines she'll let pregnancy stop her, but...he's under the assumption it's probably difficult on smaller mammals in particular. There's a lot of weight to carry, a lot of extra energy that needs to be stored to suit both the baby and the mother's needs.

He's going to make sure he's there for her, every single step of the way. Even if he turns into an absolute nuisance of a helicopter spouse, that's just how it's going to have to be.

God. He really is turning into his grandpa...]


I think he would be disappointed if he wasn't the first to be considered.

[He calls after her, his tail sweeping the floor.]

Big and reliable...I think he would be happy, hearing that.

[Gosha always strived to be exactly that. Helpful to a fault, sometimes to his own detriment...but he always meant well. Legosi could sense that even as a young pup, even when the world was unfair and nothing seemed to make sense. He'd gone off to Cherryton halfway against his komodo dragon heritage...now he wishes he'd embraced it more.

His nose is already going before the food gets properly set down, and he's not even meaning to really sniff the air as aggressively as he is. It's a canine thing...Haru will probably be able to feel his snuffling breath tickling the backs of her ears as he leans over her, clasping his hands together around her front.]


It smells good...
