It was a glorious day in Octo Valley. Everyone had been anticipating this day and it was finally here. The King, Octavio and the Queen, Blanca had finally conceived their first child. It was only a few days wait for her to lay the egg and an even more days wait for the egg to hatch. Finally it was the day it was hatching.

"Octavio! Come! It's hatching!" Blanca called excitedly. DJ Octavio was barreling down the hall. He basically knocked down any Octarians in his way.

"Sorry! My baby's hatchin', yo!" he called to them.

"It's OK your majesty! Can't wait to see the new heir!" one called back. Finally he reached the room and slammed the door open.

"Did I miss it?!" he exclaimed loudly.

"No, you're just in time. Come see." He quietly walked over and looked at the egg. The baby was slowly making its way out. The two watched excitedly and quietly. Finally the baby got out of its egg and began squeaking loudly. Blanca picked their new baby up and cradling them in her arms.

"What is it? A girl? Right? Right?!" the DJ asked excitedly. She checked and gasped. "What? What's wrong?!"

"It's a boy..." she whispered.

"What?"

"It's a boy! The sea blessed us with a boy!" she said while bouncing happily. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Wh-what? I dunno. What if I-" She put their baby into his tentacles. He basically melted upon touching him. "I can't believe he's ours. This is our baby. Our prince..." He wiped a tear out of his eye.

"Octavio, are you crying?" she teased.

"No! I got something in my eye!" he retorted, attempting to keep his usual bravado. She just laughed.

"What are we going to name our little prince?" she asked. He almost forgot about names.

"Aw jeez, I dunno..."

"You can do the first name and I'll take the middle name."

"Well, alright... I guess I'll name him... Hum..." he pondered a bit." I guess I'll go with Octavio." She stared as if she wanted to say 'really?' He stared back defensively. "Hey, don't look at me like that! Think about how cool Octavio the Third would sound! We can call him Jr too!" She simply laughed. "What's the middle name?"

She thought for a little bit. She looked up at him and smiled.

"I was thinking of... Barnabas."

"Barnabas...? It's perf, yo! Octavio Barnabas the Third! This kid's gonna do great things. I know it." He raised Jr up in the air and Jr squeaked. They quietly enjoyed their time with their new baby. Eventually it was time to introduce Jr to the people of Octo Valley. They were all anticipating meeting the royal baby. The couple walked out onto the balcony and the Octarians began cheering loudly. DJ raised a tentacle and they settled down. He spoke into the mic.

"Presenting the new prince of the Octarians: Prince Octavio Barnabas the Third!" he exclaimed. Everyone cheered loudly. Jr cried at the sudden noise and Blanca rocked him. She tapped her husband.

"I'm gonna take him inside." she whispered. He nodded. She went back inside.

"Well... That's it. DJ Octavio out." he said while saluting the Octarians and heading back inside to follow his wife. He joined her in Jr's room where she was sitting in the rocking chair feeding him. He pulled up a chair and sat beside her. He watched silently.

"He looks a lot like you..." Blanca said.

"Wha? No. He definitely looks more like you! See, he's got your eyes." Octavio argued, pushing her hair out of her face, revealing her eyes. She looked up at him and smiled. He chuckled slightly.

"I wonder what he'll grow up to be like." she wondered aloud. He shrugged.

"We'll just have to wait and see together." He cuddled up closer to his wife and she cuddled back. They continued gently watching their baby as he quietly suckled the bottle.
