Another month passes and Alisa is worried

Another month passes you succeed in the contests however there are a few close calls and you have gained a scar on your belly from a combat contest. News has spread that you are taking challenges instead of battles to the death and people have flocked to your castle in hopes for an easy victory and quick progression to being the new ruler. This has lead to an increase in poor knights both male and female who have nothing to give you and end up with a live trip to your belly. This lead to the creation of a warning sign that if you did not bring anything to forfeit if you lost then your life would be on the line. This did dissuade most but you got the occasional challenger who seemed to want to be swallowed by you.

Because of this influx of challenges and therefore food, you started to get a bit chubby. However, you had a unique weight loss method. You would use the energy you had stored up as fat to be able to transform into a humanoid more often, about once a week. This became a special time for you and Alisa and a third sign was put up for Alisa to declare that no challengers should come on a Sunday. Alisa sited religious regions on the sign along with a comment on letting her dragon guard recover but neglecting to say what you were recovering from.

All was happy until a few days before the next full moon. Alisa came to you with a look of concern on her face. "Gorwen, I am worried."

"Don't be, Princess, I relish the new challenges it is so much more fun than fighting all the time and we solved the problem with me getting fat. Besides, some of the challenges are getting quite good. Now that they live to tell the tale they also live to come back better prepared. That David fellow has improved greatly at chess. " You remark.

"That is not what I am worried about." Alisa replies. " I haven't had my monthly bleed and have been feeling ill. I think I might be pregnant." She declares in a concerned tone

You vaguely remember from helping Alisa with her teaching what this means. "Well then, lay the egg and you will go back to feeling better." You advise based on what you have been taught about females that put off laying for whatever reason.

"Don't you remember, we don't work like that!" Alisa scolds you. "The bleed is like laying an egg and although I feel sick when it happens or if it is late this is different. I think you fertilised my egg and it is growing inside me like other mammals, not a stupid lizard!" She shouts.

"Hey, I am nothing like those belly dragging primitives!" You snap back, being compared to a lizard was a soft spot for dragons. Then the full meaning of what she said sunk in. "Oh, Oh, I'm sorry, I just realised what this means."

"I know, I know, I shouldn't have called you a lizard, sorry." Alisa interupted. "But you got me pregnant, how does that even work? Magic I guess, Now what, no knight is going to want to marry a princess who is pregnant with a mutant dragon baby." She broke down crying.

You gently nuzzle her with your massive snout then wrap lie down and let her snuggle and cry into your side. After Alisa has stopped crying but is still whimpering and snuggling your side you come up with an idea.
