“He’s looking better,” Manc commented watching their son outside on the lawn in the growing darkness of dusk. “Good thing none of them are of the fae .”
“Amazing what a good season with rain will do to the insect population, isn’t it?” Allen responded. There was a gasp, “Are Lightning Bugs poisonous?” “Didn’t know he jump that high,” was said with awe.
“Well he is my son.”
“I’m going to get a glass jar. It’ll be interesting for him to see a Lightning Bug up close.”
Manc looked at Allen, “Like eating one isn’t up close….”
“Hush you.”
2 Lightning Bugs were captured. An event ignored by their son who was more intent on his own fun.
“You should really let them go soon. They’re out there to mate and produce the next generation.
You’re impeding next year’s Lightning Bug population.”
“Uhmmm. Too late.” Allen said looking into the jar.
“What?” Manc eyed his husband anxiously doubting his sanity.
“They’re.. um.. already attached.”
“You mean of all the Lightning Bugs in the backyard, you caught two compatible bugs who decided to mate with each other?”
“Yep,”
“Ooooookay.”
From inside the jar, “Oh baby, yes just like that,” had Manc and Allen look shocked at the jar and then each other.
“Wait a bit but put them outside before our kitten comes back in. I don’t think I’m ready to explain the facts of procreation yet.”
Allen glanced at Manc’s tummy and grinned. “We’re going to have to soon.”
