"What is it?"
"It's the form I thought of first that would conserve my energy by slithering rather than walking and is cute enough that you wouldn't kill me on sight."
"Like a little white blob with a tail that's half as big as a watermelon and little wings in the average place of ears."
He let out a squeak of joy and nuzzled her hand.
"Of course not. I said lizard, not dragon."
"Like a big,thick lizard tail without the scales."
He wrapped his tail around her arm.
He hugged her. "I'm sure she'll be fine now that Dad's back. She's tougher than she looks."
He let out a happy squeak before snuggling down into her arms and going to sleep.
He turned into his fairy form and curled up in her arms.
His eyes drooped as his body leaned into her arms.
He nipped her nose.
He nibbled on her ear. "Everyone is so impatient in this family."
"Young children. I already told you."
He clung to his neck and fell asleep again.
He cupped her cheek in a hand. "We'll try."
"Can you wait until then?"
"We've already had three without too much trouble."
"No! You're the only one meant for me."
