"Well this looks like a nice enough place."

Just then a terrible roar came out from the jungle, making the three of them all stand back on the beach. The trees all began to move as the ground shook. It was getting closer.

Then…

"NO!"

Trillian shot up from bed screaming. Seconds later her husband moved beside her, snapping awake. Looking off into the darkness of their bedroom, it took her a second to get under control and focus to her surrounds. It was just a dream.

"Whoa!"

Her husband's arms went around her tightly before her scream faded off. He gently shook her.

"It's all right, it's just a dream."

Trillian blinked and looked out at the glass patio door. Moonlight spilled through and made clear crystal pools on the bedroom carpet. In the faint distance, she heard the ocean. Looking around, her heart pounding in her chest she knew she was fine.

"Another nightmare?"

"Yeah…sorry."

Trillian said, still feeling her hands shaking. Taking one and kissing it, her husband gave her another goof ball grin and laid back with her. Trying to smile and relax, he slowly began kissing down her neck.

"Joey…"

She held back from laughing, holding onto him she glanced down at her wedding band. They had been married for nearly a year now, and here she was. No longer a thief living a reckless life. She had seen enough terror and adventure to last her a lifetime. Now she was settled down. Living in Florida in her condo with Joey. The two had dated for a brief period of time after Finnegan explained he really wasn't ready for anything serious yet. Trillian couldn't believe it and nearly ran away. After everything they had gone through, here she was alone again. But Joey, who now suffered from a limp ever since the cruise ship…kept the peace between them holding onto any friendship left. He didn't chose sides, he just understood what was going on and always seemed to make her feel better. Time past and before Trillian knew it, she was looking at Joey in a way she never thought she would before. Soon she found him cute, the way he looked and acted. Then when it really did come time for everyone to go their separate ways, she admitted she didn't want to go. She remembered him looking her over with those serious blue eyes of his, until she just burst out talking, telling all that she had been feeling for the last few months. She told him how sorry she was about his girlfriend and everything that had happened. But this wasn't a trick to get Finnegan jealous. She just understood they weren't meant to be together. Now here they were, falling in love with each other and unable to help any of it.

Before Trillian knew it, Finnegan gave their relationship a full blessing. Taking Trillian aside before the wedding, he explained once again how sorry he was, and how he felt better she would be taking care of Joey for now on. Their wedding was small and simple, but Trillian promised Joey she would turn her life around for good.

Now he ran an engine shop on the beach. She worked part time as a cocktail waitress, and for the last year they were somehow making this normal life work. They loved each other and that was all that mattered.

But these nightmares just weren't going away.

Laying back, Trillian brushed back Joey's fallen hair and smiled at him as they began to kiss.

She told him before the nightmares were always about the island they arrived on after the ship blew up. How they all struggled to shore and then heard those awful noises from the jungle. The next thing they knew they were washes up on the main land. The Navy and rescue team all ready searching for survivors. The investigation was short lived and somehow the case was closed before too many questions could be asked from the government. The three of them confused about what happened were happy enough to keep their mouths shut and forget about it. But when they did bring up the uncharted island, the Navy swore they never heard of such a place before. In fact it wasn't even spotted when they recovered the remains of the sunken ship.

Trillian often thought what really happened on that island. How did the three of them all black out and not a remember one thing? How did they all wash up on main land? Whenever she went on and on about what might of happened, Joey would roll his eyes and tell her to get forget about it. The only thing that mattered was the fact they were still alive.

Laying back, Trillian sighed as Joey began kissing her.

Something felt wrong.

The next morning, Joey was in the kitchen pouring them cups of coffee before he ran off to work. The radio on the counter was going and he zipped around the kitchen with not a care in the world. Finally Trillian dressed in a short sexy silk robe, appeared in the doorway. Smiling at him, she leaned against the wall and watched him. Trying his best to sing along to the song that was playing, he finally looked up and smiled at her watching him.

"Morning."

"Morning…I got something for you?"

Joey grabbed his cap and stuck it on his head, circling around the table he looked for his bag.

"Oh yeah?"

Trillian slowly nodded smiling.

"Something you've wanted for a very long time…"

Joey raised an eyebrow confused before Trillian held up the pregnancy test. Joey looked at it before Trillian burst out laughing.

"Surprise!"

Joey's jaw dropped before she handed him the test. Almost in a dazed slow motion state he took it and stared down at the positive sign. Looking up at her with wide eyes, Joey laughed.

"Yes!"

Grabbing her, he took her into his arms and began kissing her. Smiling through the kiss, Trillian looked at Joey.

"You happy?"

"Am I happy, babe this is amazing!"

Kissing his stubby face, she laughed before telling him she was going to the doctors to get checked out later this week. Kissing her deeply, Joey pressed his forehead against hers.

"Maybe we should both call in today…"

Trillian bit her bottom lip teasing him.

"Sorry buddy, not a chance."

A few minutes later, Joey got into his truck which was parked in the driveway. Trillian watched from the front steps, laughing as he stuck his head out the window backing up.

"Did anyone ever tell you how beautiful you are?"

Trillian shrugged.

"Oh once or twice."

Laughing, Joey blew her a kiss and drove away. Feeling her heat beating fast she never felt so happy before in her life. Going inside she couldn't wait to this evening when she could see him again. This was really happening, they were finally having the baby they had been trying for. Remembering them with machine guns killing sea monsters she laughed before crossing the room.

Then…

An awful cramp filled her body. Freezing into place, she held herself and let out a gasp of air before the pain faded. Putting her hand to her perfectly flat stomach she then felt something.

A kick?

Her eyes widened.

No, it was far too early for the baby to be kicking, she must of imagined it. Staying still she then felt something inside her squirm. Jumping back she screamed before the feeling didn't come again. Feeling uneasy, she dressed for work slowly. Heading off, she felt feeling her stomach for any movements.

But there was nothing.

Trying to brush it off her shoulders as her stomach just feeling funny since all the excitement, she kept looking off into space. Thinking about how that squirm felt just like…

Just like a squid.
