He'd been checking on it every day.
Ever since he realized what had happened. He made sure not to linger too long, because last time-
He didn't want last time to repeat itself.
So, he made sure his visits were frequent, but brief- visiting nearly every day, but not for that long. As the days went on, however, his concern grew.
The gemstone shard had hardly grown at all.
Had he really given life to it- made a life- like he thought? Or had he just... done something, given it something but not enough?
Or was it just small- so, so small? The stone was so small, and the child inside would be smaller still. It would grow- hopefully it would grow- but how much? Would it always be that tiny- weak- vulnerable? Would he be able to protect something that small? Would they be able to protect themself? Or would they-
And- And her. It was her stone, or rather, a chunk of her chrysalis. Did she know? Would she come to see it- the child? Would she- would she forgive him? For what had happened? Did he forgive himself?

It was bound to happen any day now- the hatching. He didn't know exactly how long this was supposed to take, but he just knew. So he lingered, longer than usual. Long enough for a sense for dread to creep in, like even staying this long was far too long.
But he couldn't leave them alone when they hatched- because the stone will hatch, he was doubtless that it would. So he stayed.
And he waited.
