Epilogue
Fishemi swam over to Mam where she rested on one of the pieces of seaweed they slept on. He grinned and swam faster in time to see the black yellow spotted egg slowly start to crack open.
Fishemi swam closer curiously, his eyes widening when a small head popped out and he gasped as his baby brother was born. Two wide, unblinking purple eyes stared back at him. Fishemi stared back as his mam grabbed her son and wrappee him up in seaweed, bundling him close to her.
He looks so tiny. Fishemi thought with a small grin when his brother started crying softly, his deep purple patches making him look like one of those land creatures. Cows, his mind supplied helpfully, those his wiggling tentacles put him at odd with the hoofed creatures of legends.
He watched as Mam slowly rocked him to sleep, singing a quiet lullaby. When his baby brother finally settled into a restless sleep, Mam allowed him to hold the baby. He felt so light, his big head looking to big for his body, the sight making Fishemi laugh aloud, grinning down when Mam asked;
"What should we call him, Baby?" She planted a kiss on his forehead when he answered.
"Sea Giraffe," Mam smiled softly at him.
"Thats a wonderful name, 'Emi."
"We can call him Genya for short!" Mam laughed.
"Sure thing, baby." Sea Giraffe yawned, pink gums flash before shuffling and curling closer to Fishemi, who held him closer.
"I'm never letting anything bad happen to you. I'll protect you forever." He whispered, pressing a small kiss to his baby brothers temple and hugging him close.
