      Dragon's First Valentine - Emily Martha Sorensen

      Chapter 1: Vexed

      Rose woke up to the unmistakable sound of someone trying to be quiet.

      No no no no.  No no no no.  No no no no.  No no no no —

      There was an earsplitting shriek.

      Rose flung the blankets off her legs and stormed to the door of their bedroom, feeling rather vexed.  She had asked to be permitted to sleep in this morning, seeing as it was Saturday and Henry’s first class did not begin until eleven o’clock, but it seemed that was not to be.  Why had Henry permitted the baby to get so close to the door where she was sleeping?

      Your mother’s asleep, Henry’s voice whispered in a frantic undertone from the other side of the door.  We can’t disturb her.  Just —

      Rose flung the door open.

      Henry froze from a crouched position in the hallway.

      Looking past him, Rose saw that there were flower petals scattered all down the length, and Virgil was currently rolling around in them.  The baby dragon tried to shake a red flower petal off his vicious back claw, somersaulted into a sprawl, looked back, found it still stuck there, and let out another furious scream.

      I see he’s managed to make a mess, Rose said dryly.  Where did he even find those?

      He was supposed to be helping, Henry said sheepishly.  He leapt to his feet and spread his arms.  Happy birthday!

      Rose blinked and looked down more closely.  She supposed she could see how, if there had not been a baby dragon frolicking in them, those flower petals might have seemed romantic rather than looking like a florist’s trash had been knocked over.

      A better birthday present would have been an extra hour of sleep, Rose thought, exasperated.

      But she knew her husband was not as practically-minded as she was.  It was just like him to want to make a silly gesture like this.  And she could appreciate the thought behind it.

      Thank you, Rose said.  What a nice present.

      Oh, that’s not all, Henry said, bursting with pride.  Come into the living room!

      With some misgivings, Rose picked up Virgil and followed her husband down the hallway.  The little dragon wiggled and complained and commented telepathically about the red thing stuck on his back claw that wouldn’t come off and it was stuck and he wanted to breathe fire at it but he didn’t have fire in his tummy right now!

      Rose paid him no heed.  She was too frozen with horror at the sight before her.

      Twenty vases.

      Twelve flowers in each vase.

      There were twenty dozen roses.

      How —? Rose asked, her voice rising in a panicked squeak.

      I bought them, Henry said proudly.  See, your name’s Rose, and it’s your twentieth birthday —

      It’s two days to Valentine’s Day! Rose cried, hyperventilating.  "Why would you not ask me before making such an extravagant purchase?  Why would you purchase twenty dozen flowers at the most expensive time of the year?  Why would you purchase twenty dozen flowers anyway?!"

      Henry looked hurt.  It was a present —

      This is not a present! Rose exclaimed.  "This is bankruptcy!"

      Henry’s face turned bright red.  I was just trying to be thoughtful!

      "Then think about things!  Just because I’m balancing the budget now doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to look at the book once in awhile!"

      "We’re not that poor!" Henry exclaimed.

      How would you know?!  You’re terrible at sums!

      She knew at once that it was the wrong thing to say.

      Her husband spun around, flung open the door to the apartment, and stalked out, slamming the door behind him.

      Rose flopped onto the couch, trying to put her head in her hands.  Since their dragon son was still in her arms, he made a spiny, wiggly barrier.

      Why was Virgil’s mother upset?  Virgil’s father thought the red things were pretty.

      They are pretty, Rose mumbled, moving the baby dragon onto her lap and successfully depositing her forehead into her hands this time.  They’re also completely impractical.  Why couldn’t he have bought me a new saucepan or something?

      Virgil’s father liked pretty things.  Virgil’s father never thought they had enough pretty things.  Virgil’s father had been excited about buying Virgil’s mother the present.  Virgil had gone with his father.  It had been fun!  He’d only broken one of the vases while they were there.

      Rose sighed heavily.

      She’d handled it wrong.  She knew she had.  It really had been a thoughtful gesture.  She had no
