As the days passed, Diesel and Yvette made sure that their eggs were safe. Every day, Yvette was curled around them, keeping them warm and comfortable. Diesel would go out to fetch berries, to make sure there was plenty of food for when the children were born. On one such trip, he happened across a Leafeon, who was scrounging around a plentiful berry bush, but not picking anything.

Diesel - Good afternoon...

Leafeon - Hey...

Diesel - I don't think I've met you before... My name's Diesel. Diesel Warner.

Leafeon - I am... I am Lodz Poznanka...

Diesel - Well, Lodz, I hope you don't mind me picking these berries?

Lodz - I don't care, they aren't my berries...

Diesel - Oh, good! I need them for my wife; we're expecting children!

Lodz - Children... You mean... you have eggs at home?

Diesel - Yes! I'm... I'm rather excited...

Lodz - I have eggs at home... but the missus won't let me... never mind.

Diesel - Hm... Well, if you ever want to visit, we live in the cave, over there.

Lodz - I'll think about it...

So, Diesel went back home, with plenty of berries to sustain them for some time. Eventually, the Umbreon and the Furret fell asleep together, curled around the eggs. Unbeknownst to them, they were under watch from outside. Brown paws carried a lithe, tan body into their home, verdant ears straining to detect any sign of consciousness, but finding none. 

Lodz - Perfect...

He snuck forward, sniffing around, until he found the two eggs nestled between their parents. Finding them, he laid a paw on one, but found claws at his throat soon enough.

Diesel - Lodz... You sneak into my home at the dead of night... only to steal my children?

Lodz - Uhhhh...

Before he needed to answer, Lodz dashed away. The commotion stirred Yvette awake.

Yvette - What happened...? What were those footsteps?

Diesel - Nothing to worry about, my dear...

Yvette held the eggs, checking them over carefully.

Yvette - A-and the children?

Diesel - They will live long and happy lives, safe from evil...

And so, they kept up a vigil for the rest of the night.

--

As dawn broke, and the cool night air began to warm, a small pricking sound came up, from one of the eggs. Yvette and Diesel could hardly take their eyes from it.

Diesel - Th-this is it... Our first child...

Only moments later, the egg broke open, floppy ears poking out from the cracked open hole, then a little round body with a bushy tail. Yvette lifted the little creature in her paws, nuzzling her.

Yvette - I think we'll call you "Jessie..."

Jessie let out a chirp of approval, then squirmed away to meet her father. He nuzzled her softly with his nose, and she chirped again, then went to inspect the other egg, standing beside it and balancing on her tail as if she had been practising for years. After a moment, the other shell began to crack, until a hole was opened up. The little creature inside stumbled out, keeping her eyes closed, stumbling forward until she had bumped into her father's paws. He lifted her up and embraced the newly hatched shiny Eevee.

Diesel - And you...  think you will be called "Jan..."

Jan let out a happy little noise, and finally dared to open her eyes. She giggled to see her father, and her mother, but she was especially happy to see the other little creature her size, the one standing on it's tail. She waddled up to her sister, and barked. Jessie looked down at Jan from her perch, and patted her head, much to Jan's enjoyment. They hugged each other, and soon they were asleep.

Diesel - Yvette...

Yvette - Our children...

And so, for the first time, the Warner-Namara family slept all together.
