It had been shaking a little bit lately. The first time he had wanted to rush down to the cafeteria and laugh in all of the grunts' faces, but the egg had only shook once or twice a day and their was no way to be sure when it would be shaking to actually show them. If he had gone down their laughing at them, with no proof, he'd have gotten laughed at himself at best, at worst they would have beaten him up and tossed the egg about, likely breaking it, for punishment for lying. William closed his eyes and sighed. He knew the egg was close to hatching. It had to be to be shaking once or twice a day; but, every day that it didn't hatch seemed to be too long. He had already worked for a month to ween the egg back to health, it really had almost been at dead as the grunts had thought it to be, and this past week of shaking had been as gratifying as it was frustrating. Gratifying because he had been able to save such a lost cause. Frustrating because every time the egg shook, but did not hatch, put another day between him and Cameron. Eyes still closed, William clenched his teeth and breathed deeply in an effort to reinforce his patience. The egg would hatch when it would. He felt guilty sometimes for putting the weight of all his hopes on the poor little egg. The stars knew it had already had a rough enough time as it was without having to suffer his need for revenge. "Don't worry, little one," He said in a gentle voice rolling over so that he was wrapped around the egg. "You may be my only hope, but that only means I'll love and care for you even more. I'd never force you into something before you were ready." The egg shook in the curve of his body, almost as if in response. "Huh, it's sure lively today huh?" William asked stupidly, turning to look down off the bunk to Asmarie who was looking a little silly, sitting on a chair with her legs pulled up under her, reading a book. "Oh, I'm sure it is." She said without looking up from her book as the egg shook against William's belly again. "After all, it is going to hatch today." "Really?!" William asked, happily surprised. Even after years and years of caring for pokemon eggs, William had never picked up the knack Asmarie had for knowing on the day an egg would hatch, that it would before it did. Perhaps it had to do with her having taken the form of a psychic pokemon. No matter how she knew though, if she said an egg was about to hatch, it was about to hatch. What that meant for William was that he needed to hurry. Scooping up the egg gently in his arms as it shook again, William vaulted from his top bunk, bending his knees upon landing so as not to jar the egg or the arms holding it. "Come on, Asmarie. We don't know what pokemon is in this egg. I need to be near water and I might need a towel." Asmarie sighed. "Oh, alright, I guess the mite is going to need someplace more sanitary than this. But I do wish it would have waited until I reached the end of my chapter." Even as she was speaking she stood and doggy-eared the place in her book, not caring that it annoyed William to find dog ears or creases in his books. William made his way to the restrooms, got a towel from the racks, and filled a bucket from the janitor's closet with clean, warm water before heading down towards the recruiting area. As soon as the egg hatched, he would need to register and get the proper starting kit. He set the bucket down next to a chair next to the recruiting area and held the shaking and cracking egg gently in his lap on top of the rough towel. He couldn't help but notice the looks of surprise some grunts were giving him as they walked by, and he preened under them. 'Who is unfit to be a grunt now? Not I!' he thought as he waited for the egg to hatch and for one of the workers to take notice of him. For all he knew, he might need the items from the starter kit sooner than most. |
