Matthew wrapped his arms around Rowan, glancing down at the eggs. He hummed faintly.
"They're going to be quite the handful," he said gently.

"You think?" Rowan hummed softly to himself. "I'd think wild birds would be easy enough… just gotta feed them. I guess they're kind of pets now, though…"

Matthew chuckled a bit.
"Yes, that's true… They can be very demanding, though. They'll need constant attention." He hummed faintly.

"That's fine… I'm used to demanding animals." Rowan laughed softly. "I'll try my best to take good care of them."

Matthew hummed a bit, laughing.
"I'll help if you need some." He smiled gently.

"Okay! You can help me feed them the bugs and stuff… I hate bugs." Rowan stuck his tongue out a bit as he looked down at the eggs again.

"Okay! I'll be in charge of the bugs and worms then." Matthew smiled a bit, looking at the eggs.

"Sounds good to me." Rowan smiled softly and held the nest a bit closer to himself so that it would be more secure.

Matthew hummed softly. The horses made their way out of the woods, onto a beaten path.

Rowan made sure not to fall asleep on the horse this time. He couldn't risk letting anything happen to the eggs he was guarding.

Matthew thought to himself a bit.
"Actually, there's something we should do for the eggs," Matthew said.

"Hmm?" Rowan looked up at Matthew curiously. "What is it, Matthew?" He asked, holding the eggs a little closer.

"We should add something that smells like you, like some hair or something. Right now they're in mine, but that'll just confuse them." Matthew hummed faintly.

"Oh! Okay!" Rowan hesitated before pulling out some of his hair with a wince and sticking it into the nest.

Matthew watched, smiling gently.
"There. That'll help them get used to your scent so they'll recognize you when they hatch."

Rowan grinned and gently stroked the eggshells. "Should add anything else? I think the hair clips would be a bad idea… they might choke on them."

Matthew thought a moment.
"Well, perhaps a few loose strings from your shirt or something? We can weave it into the nest so they couldn't choke on them."

Rowan nodded and tugged some loose strings out of his shirt and handed them to Matthew to put into the nest.

Matthew accepted the strings, arms around Rowan as he carefully added them to the nest.
"There we go…" he smiled gently.

"Now they'll know me when they hatch!" Rowan grinned. "When did you say you thought they were gonna hatch?"

"It could be any day now," Matthew said. "We'll have to be extra careful with them until then." He hummed faintly, arms still around Rowan.

Rowan nodded a bit. "We should name them! Birds are super cute. Is there any way to know what gender they are or should we go with gender neutral stuff."

"Well, we'd be able to tell once they're hatched! Are there any names you have in mind?" Matthew hummed gently, resting his head on Rowan's shoulder as he looked at the eggs.

"Mmmmm… we could call them Timmy, Tammy, and Tommy! If there's two boys and a girl anyway… matching names would be cute! Do you know what kind of birds they are?"

Matthew looked at the eggs a moment, thinking.
"They look like robins," he finally concluded. "And those names sound great!" He smiled at Rowan a moment.
