Note: Now who is Jericho? Geuss we'll find out.

Later that night Sheila slept restlessly. Her dreams clouded with sadness and grief. She was remembering when her mate died. She had seen the tragedy with her own eyes.

(Flashback)

The two adult dollies were swimming through the cool clear water. "Come on, I know you can swim faster than that," a male Dolichorhynchop exclaimed sarcastically.

"Oh stop you. Unless you want to carry these babies in your belly," Sheila said smiling at her mate.

"Ummm, no thank you sweetie" the male dolly said smiling back at his mate.

The two dollies swam in silence for a while. Then the female Dolly looked over at her mate. "Jericho, have I ever told you that you have the most beautiful shade of teal I have ever seen on our own kind," she asked while smiling at him.

Jericho looked at her and blushed. Sheila giggled at the sight of his occasional blushes whenever she complimented him on his shade of teal. He smiled and nuzzled her "Yes you have, but have I ever told you that the only female for me is you?"

Sheila blushed as he did a few seconds ago and she made the mistake of letting it be seen by him. "Ha you blushed to," he exclaimed.

Sheila rolled her eyes sarcastically at her easily embarrassed mate. "Okay, okay you got me. Are we almost there?"

"I think so," Jericho said with assurance.

"Good, because I think I'm getting close to giving birth." Sheila was a nervous one when it came to major things like this. Jericho looked over at her and knew that face she was making. "Look, don't worry as long as I am around no harm will come to you or our children," Jericho exclaimed. This sentence brought Sheila to her senses and knew nothing would go wrong. She knew her mate would do every thing in his power to protect her and their children.

While the two lovers near the ocean's roof of unending water were swimming, there was something dark and shady beneath them. Suddenly Jericho stopped. Sheila stopped as well and looked back at Jericho puzzled. "What, why have we stopped," she asked.

"There is something watching us."

"What is it," the female dolly grew uneasy and worried that they may be in danger.

The male dolly looked beneath himself and noticed something slithering in the darkness below them. The mysterious thing stalking them suddenly dove deeper, becoming cloaked in darkness. Suddenly without hesitation and warning the beast from below charged at the two suspicious Dolichorhynchops. The male's eyes grew wide. The monster was going for his mate first. 'I need to act fast,' he thought to himself.

Jericho threw himself at his pregnant mate "Swim! Get out of here, It's a Tylosaurus," he exclaimed while knocking his mate out of the way of the ferocious beasts lunging range. The Tylosaurus lunged past the couple and propelled himself up toward the roof of the water. He made it out of the water and into the air. With a great splash the Tylosaurus crashed back into the water in a daze. Jericho was trying to conceal his mate behind him. "Go, now! I'll distract him, it will give you enough time to get away," he exclaimed with fierceness in his voice.

"No, not without you," Sheila said as she swam up next to her mate.

Jericho looked back at her with sadness in his eyes. "No, you need to go. You're carrying the only two things I truly care about in this world. Our children and your life, now go live the rest of your life. I was made to protect my family and now it's my time," he said sadly as he looked in to his mate's eyes.

She nodded. "Okay," she paused and sniffled, "I love you."

"I love you to," Jericho calmly spoke in her ear.

He saw the Tylosaurus recovering from the splash it had caused from the air born lunge. Sheila looked at it and back to her mate and pecked a kiss on the side of his snout. Sheila knew he wouldn't make it out of this confrontation like they had so many times before. Sheila swam off before the fight started. The sea monster saw the female swimming off and tried to charge her. Jericho could see his plan and intercepted him and bit his neck giving his mate enough time to get away.

"You're not going to hurt my mate or my family," he exclaimed while still biting down on fierce animal's neck.

The Tylosaurus flung his neck back and forth with great force until the Dolly let go and spun off into the water in a daze. Jericho quickly shook it off and observed his opponent for weak spots. All he could see was hulking 40-foot long beast staring right back at him.

The beast smiled revealing jagged teeth and said, "You are a persistent one, maybe the bravest meal I have ever had the pleasure of catching."

"If you think you are going to hurt my mate or even take me as a meal then you are gravely mistaken," the male Dolly shouted to his foe.

All the Tylosaurus could do was chuckle and laugh. "That is very amusing seeing the prey become their vision of a predator. If you truly think you can kill me and stop me from having you and your mate for my late night meal then prove it," the beast challenged.

'How am I going to kill this thing, he's twice my size and made to dominate the seas. Hmm, if I can't kill him from the outside then I'll kill him from the inside,' he thought to himself. A grin appeared on his snout.

"Okay I call you on that challenge," Jericho exclaimed.

"You have seen your last sight of day light," the Tylosaurus said.

The Tylosaurus charged at the Dolly who just floated there in the same place. The Tylosaurus got a bit suspicious but ignored his feelings and bit into Dolichorhynchop. Jericho grunted in agony but saw his opportunity. He slipped into the throat of the Tylo and lodged himself within the large tube like structure.

The Tylosaurus tried to swallow him but couldn't. Jericho grinned and said, "I told you won't hurt my family, you bastard."

The Tylosaurus choked and gasped but had no hope. He fell lifelessly to the bottom of the floor of the ocean. Jericho had died from the lack of oxygen in the Tylo's throat and suffocated with a smile on his face knowing his family was safe for now.

Sheila however had been watching the fight from a safe view. She had seen her mate die by the hands of that monster, all for her sake.

(End Flashback)

Sheila gasped as she woke from her slumber. The water was dark and cool. She turned her head furiously and franticly in search of her children. Sheila looked down and saw them cuddled up next to each other. She sighed in relief and looked out of the mouth of the small cave. Her face was branded with a sad and grievous frown and eyes. "I wish you could have lived to see your two beautiful children," she said sadly to herself and laid her head down to go back to sleep.
