Welcome to this new story! It's time to explore the first few months of the new hybrids! As usual, the rules for my stories are in my bio (hint: read Book 1 first). So let's get started, shall we?

CHAPTER 1 – First Day

(P to Emily a few hours after Book 7) "Wow, that was some day," I said to Matthew. It had been a few hours since I had given birth to Dylan and Julia. The zoo was open, so it was just us four below. "You're telling me honey. I mean, we battled Blowhole and now we're parents," Matthew said to me happily, kissing me.

"I'm still so sorry I hurt you," I said sadly, tearing up. "I thought we were past that honey. As I said, I can't blame or hate you for that. It was my fault for not expecting the unexpected. And not just getting us out of here," Matthew said to me. "I still don't know how you can forgive me so easily," I said to him sadly.

Matthew sighed. "It wasn't your fault. Blowhole took advantage of your Mind Jacking. I mean, he was going to use you and our children as weapons. He's pure evil. You, however, and clearly, are not," Matthew said to me, giving me a hug. I gladly accepted that.

"You're right honey. I do need to let that go. I need to stop moping around. We should both be happy. After all, we're parents finally," I said happily, kissing him. "Let me tell you, though, that was painful," I said.

"You nearly broke my flipper, grabbing it. I can almost imagine," he said. I smirked. "That wasn't even close. It was probably more painful for me than Marlene, though," I said. "Most likely, since you were pregnant for over twice as long as Otters usually are," Matthew said.

"For both of us, though, it was probably more painful than any other Otters have ever experienced. Of course, I didn't mate with an Otter," I said happily. "Nope. A human," Matthew said. We kissed.

Suddenly, both of the children started to cry in their cribs, so we walked over to them. "Shh. Both Mommy and Daddy are here. What would you like?" I asked both Julia and Dylan. They simply looked at us. "Maybe they're hungry?" Matthew asked me. Both of their faces lit up with the word hungry. We smiled at them. *

"It seems like it. So, I know what to do, but do you? Dylan's a Penguin. Marlene said she had trouble feeding Samuel," I said to Matthew. * "I'd bring Skipper down here to ask him, but I think since the zoo is still open that my idea is absolutely terrible for our cover," he replied.

"I agree. Maybe we should look up what you have to do?" I asked Matthew. He pulled out his phone. "That's still weird to me as how that works," he said to me, while typing. We looked at how Penguins feed their young. "Yuck. I really have to do that?" Matthew questioned. I giggled. "Sorry honey, but you are the Penguin. Grab a fish and start chewing," I said to him.

"Actually, I've got an idea on how I don't have to do that," Matthew said, before making Dylan an Otter. I gave him a little love punch on the flipper. "Now that's just abusing your power," I said to Matthew, smirking. "But it is easier, right? But if you want, I'll feed him as a Penguin," Matthew said. He grimaced at the thought.

He obviously didn't want to puke into Dylan's mouth. It was perfectly understandable. If I were in his flippers, I wouldn't want to do it either. It was nature at work, but still gross. "You really don't want to have to chew and release, do you?" I asked him. "Not really. But I will if you want me to," Matthew said.

I thought for a moment. It actually would be easier. I could obviously feed both of the children with no issue. "You actually are right honey. It would be easier for me to feed both of them, since I can do that. And we don't have to worry about something going wrong, like a fish having some disease or a piece getting stuck," I said to Matthew.

"Those are good reasons as well honey. Something could potentially taint the fish. After all, infants do have weaker immune systems. And even though I would chew thoroughly, there's always that risk. And we know that you aren't sick," Matthew said to me.

"Nope. I'm just tired from giving birth," I said, causing us to laugh. Both Dylan and Julia started to cry again. "We're sorry Dylan and Julia. I'll feed you now," I said to them. They stopped when Matthew and I picked them out of their cribs and giggled. Matthew and I had a quick kiss before I sat on the table.

(P to me) I took Julia from Emily while she got ready. While she was lying down, I looked between her and the children. She was so beautiful. We had together created two amazing children. Our lives were perfect.

(P to Emily) I waited a moment before taking the children from Matthew. He was looking between me and our new children. They were so adorable. Our love had grown and had given us children. I sat back up and gave Matthew a quick kiss before lying back down. We nearly got lost in our moment, but the children started to cry again. Matthew and I blushed as I took them from him.

(P to me) "So do you want me to turn away or close my eyes?" I asked Emily. "Please. You saw me give birth. And how do you think I got pregnant?" Emily asked me with a smirk. "Always the nutty one," I said to her.

"Your fault," she said playfully. "Your idea," I replied also playfully. She blushed. "I know. But I can't complain about that. It helped make our children," Emily said happily. Both Dylan and Julia began to feed from Emily. "I feel like a cow doing this," she said. "Would you like to be one?" I asked her.

Emily smiled. "Not really. Especially since I'm busy right now," she said, making us laugh. She nearly disturbed the children, but didn't. Both Dylan and Julia finished after a few minutes and smiled at Emily. "They're so adorable," I said as we took them to their cribs.

(P to Emily) "I know. We've made beautiful children," I said, before we kissed. "Where do you think they got that from?" I asked Matthew. "You, of course," he said to me. We kissed again. "I was sleeping in my crate when I came here last year. What did you think of me at right that moment?" I asked Matthew. He brought up the Memory Viewer, while also turning Dylan back into a Penguin. **

"Ah, going to show me, are you?" I asked him, knowingly. "Yes," he answered me. He put on the helmet and we watched his memory. "Love at first sight honey?" I asked Matthew after we were done. He sent the Memory Viewer back down.

"Yes. I'm glad that worked out. Now we're married and have children," Matthew said happily to me. "I'm glad too," I said kissing him. We looked over at the children and they were both smiling as they slept.

"What do you think they're dreaming about, if they are dreaming?" I asked Matthew. "Well, we could get Kowalski to… actually, scratch that invention idea. But maybe it's about all of us," he said happily to me. "I sure hope so," I said to Matthew, kissing him again.

(P to later that day) "Well, your parents seem to really like our new children," I said happily to Matthew. We had just finished video chatting with them, showing off Dylan and Julia. "They're still weirded out that their grandchildren aren't human though. But they do love them. And I will turn them into humans before we go there," Matthew said to me.

"Me too, right?" I asked him. "Of course honey. Why should only us three be humans?" he said to me, kissing me. "Oh, I remember saying to the fans that spotted us after we beat Blowhole that we would tell them what happened. Can you call the computer back?" I asked Matthew. It appeared seconds later in front of me. "Thanks. This will be a fun post," I said to him, starting to type.

"Save the biggest news for the end my nutty wife," Matthew said to me. "Oh, I intend to. Do you have a camera?" I asked him. He pulled out his phone again. "Right here honey," he said to me.

"Make sure to turn off the flash," I reminded him. "Sure thing," he said, pressing some buttons on his phone. He walked over to our children in their cribs and silently took a flash-less picture of them, not disturbing them.

We put the picture and the news at the end of the post and then sent it. After a minute, everyone came back down, since they were done for the day. And Dylan and Julia woke up as well, staring at everyone. "You really do have beautiful children," Marlene said to us as they all walked over to them.

"Thank you. And as you did, we would like to see the results of their DNA tests," I said to Kowalski. "Sure thing," he said. We all walked into the lab, with the children enjoying the ride in their cribs. They were smiling as we rolled them in.

"So Kowalski, how come they look like Penguins and Otters instead of a human or an Otter?" Matthew asked him. "Well, it seems the genes for Penguins and Otters are more dominant for either gender than for humans," Kowalski answered. "Well, my normal species' loss I guess," Matthew said.

"I would ask if their appearance would change, but since my belly didn't grow when I was taken there, I don't think I need to. But how long will it be until our children eat solid food?" I asked Kowalski. "Well, for Otters it's 14 weeks, but for humans it's, well, I don't know," Kowalski said.

"Well, my best guess for humans, since I am one, is a few months to a year. But I'm not sure either," Matthew said. "Let's just hope it's on the shorter side of that scale honey," I said to him. "I sure hope so. That's still gross for Penguins," Matthew said. "What is?" Samuel asked him. "Classified," all of us parents said.

"You don't really want to know anyway honey," Marlene said to Samuel. "Well, what about me Mom?" Annabelle asked Marlene. "You don't really want to know that either," Skipper said. "Don't worry. We won't feed our children when you two are here," I told Samuel and Annabelle.

"So do you have anymore questions?" Kowalski asked Matthew and I after a moment. "When will our children be able to speak?" I asked Kowalski. "Well, for Pengotters it was a month. But once again, the human aspect makes me unsure," Kowalski said.

"Well, I don't know when it specifically starts, but it's usually after a year or so for humans," Matthew explained. "A year? Really?" I asked him. "It just depends honey. But that probably won't be the case," he said to me. "I sure hope not," I said. "I can help with that, if that does happen though," he whispered to me. "Thank you," I whispered back.

"Do you have anymore questions?" Kowalski asked us. We both thought for a minute. "I think I'm out of questions. Do you have more, honey?" I asked Matthew. "I think I'm out for now as well," he answered. With that, we went out of the lab and all played with the children. They seemed to love the attention. Then they fell asleep and we went to bed ourselves.

That's the end of the first chapter. So a lot of the things in the first chapter of Pengotters: The Early Months also happened here, yet altered to my OC's instead of for Skipper and Marlene. But it was a good chapter, right? Please rate and review it. I have a few notes today.

* Obviously copied Pengotters: The Early Months here.
