Summary: Things for Chris and Mimmi always seem to happen at one of the dolphin pools at the Marine Park. So when it comes to different momentous occasions in their relationship, they decide to keep the pattern.
Takes place following season 2 and based off those events with the addition of Karl. When I wrote this, I listened to a bunch of romantic type songs, so if you would like to as well, go for it.

Her shift started at 8 and his at 9. After two months of dating and working at the same place with the same schedule, other than the hour difference of start times, they both knew that full well. He got to work a half hour before his shift started and headed over to where he knew she'd have her cart set up to sell souvenirs to visitors at the Marine Park.
Chris watched Mimmi for a minute as he walked towards her. She was down at the level of a child, talking to him about the dolphin toy she was handing him. That was one of the things Chris loved about Mimmi— how good she was with kids. He knew she didn't have any younger siblings and didn't think she really had any younger cousins; she hadn't talked about babysitting, but he assumed she must have done a lot of it to do so well with kids.
The little boy returned to his parents and Chris made his way over to Mimmi. "Hey," he greeted her.
"Chris." She smiled and moved to hug him. They shared a quick kiss in greeting as they separated. "Anything special you're here for?"
"You," he smiled cheekily.
Mimmi laughed. "Anything else?"
"Yeah, actually. Today, after the park closes, do you think you can meet me at the dolphin pool where we worked with the dolphin before I left for the program?"
"What for? Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine."
"We're okay, right?"
"Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. I just have something I want to show you," Chris spoke, hoping she hadn't caught his slight lie.
Mimmi nodded and relaxed. Chris also let himself relax. This was Mimmi; he always felt at ease around and with her. He could be himself and he didn't have to hide anything from her. They talked for a little while longer before they were interrupted.
"Chris, I thought I'd find you here," a voice spoke, coming up from behind them. Chris and Mimmi turned and saw another co-worker and Chris' best friend, Karl, approaching them. "We need to head out soon, there's some turtles that need to get tagged today."
"Was that today?"
"Yeah. C'mon buddy; it might take us all day," Karl spoke, placing his hand on Chris' shoulder and trying to urge him to get going.
"I guess I'll see you when I get back," Chris turned to Mimmi sadly. Before he could continue following Karl, Mimmi caught Chris' wrist and took a step towards him to give him a kiss before he left. When they broke apart, a big smile had replaced the sad look on his face. "See you later," he said, turning and running to catch up to Karl.
Mimmi let out a content sigh as she watched Chris hurry to catch up with Karl. She had fallen for him hard when he got back from the States, even more so than she had while they had worked with the dolphin before he left. The problem was that she didn't know how to tell him how much he meant to her. Relationships were new to her. She loved his caring heart and his sweet personality in general. She loved watching him work with the dolphins, and they loved him about as much as she did.
Though she didn't get to see him at all for the rest of her shift, Mimmi's shift seemed to go by fairly quickly. She headed to Ocean Café for a little while to hang out with Zac, Evie, and everyone else before heading back to the Marine Park.

When Mimmi got close to the pool by the dolphins, she could see Chris sitting on the dock, his legs hung down off the side so his feet were just in the water. Mimmi made her way over to him and sat down next to him, but kept her legs on the deck. "So what was it you wanted to show me?" she asked.
"Well, to be honest, there's nothing I need to show you, I just didn't want you to think I was breaking up with you by saying we need to talk."
"Chris, what are you talking about?"
He turned to her and looked into her eyes. "I really like you, actually, that's a lie. I don't just like you, Mimmi, I love you and I'm in love with you. I can't imagine not knowing you anymore. You've changed me for the better, and I can't imagine not having met you just like I can't imagine not knowing you."
Mimmi's smile grew broad. "I love you too. I can't imagine not knowing you either. I love how you work with the dolphins and how you care about them. You've got a great heart and you really care about the dolphins and others, it's why I love you so much," Mimmi trailed off, looking away from him and into the distance.
When Mimmi looked back up to Chris, the smile on his face seemed endless. He leaned forward to capture her lips in a slow and tender kiss. When they broke apart, they leaned their foreheads together for a couple seconds, looking lovingly into each other's eyes.
A minute later, they stood and started towards Ocean Café. "You know, I wasn't sure how you'd take me telling you that I love you," Chris spoke as they walked. "I've wanted to tell you for a couple weeks but had to work up the courage to actually do it," he admitted.
"You don't have to be scared about that with me," Mimmi said, giving his hand a reassuring squeeze. "And I meant what I said. I really do love you, I just had no idea how to tell you either."
The corners of Chris mouth turned up into a smile and he let out a light laugh. "I guess it's good we were on the same page with that then?" he joked.
Mimmi couldn't help the grin that encapsulated her face and the feeling of falling more in love with him.
CHCHCH
He loves me, he loves me, he loves me. Mimmi repeated the words to herself as she debated telling her secret to Chris several weeks later. He wanted them to go to the beach, or go swimming together for a date, and he'd brought them up as ideas a couple times. As much as Mimmi loved them the ideas, she'd had to shoot them down or risk spilling the secret.
Since they'd first told each other 'I love you', the words had flowed more easily from their mouths when they parted ways. Mimmi meant it every time, and she knew Chris meant it as well, but tensions were arising since she was keeping her tail a secret from him. She'd almost lost Zac when they found out they were brother and sister, she'd lost her mother as a child, she couldn't risk losing Chris, but if she kept hiding things from him like this, she might lose him as well. It was something she shuddered to think of.
The more time Mimmi spent thinking, the more she realized she needed to tell Chris. She'd asked Evie and Sirena what they thought since Sirena had kept her tail a secret from David, and Evie had dealt with Zac keeping his tail a secret from her. Sirena hadn't had all that much trouble in keeping her tail a secret from David for as long as she had, but Evie had talked about the tension and trouble she and Zac went through when he was keeping his tail from her. Evie had mentioned how the two of them had broken up because of the secret, and she didn't want that to happen to Mimmi and Chris.
"If you trust him, you should tell him," Evie had ultimately advised Mimmi on the situation. Sirena had agreed with Evie and that was enough to give Mimmi the last push she needed.
CHCHCH
At 8, Mimmi had her toy cart set up where she was always stationed. About a half hour into her shift, Chris approached her, a smile on his face that he always wore like it was part of his work uniform. "Hey," he spoke as he came to meet her, greeting her with a hug and quick kiss.
"Hey," she replied when they had separated. "I was hoping you'd stop over here before your shift."
"I wouldn't miss it," Chris joked. "So, why were you hoping I'd come over here?"
"Well," Mimmi started. "There's actually something I want to show you over by the dolphin pool after work today once the park's closed."
"What?" Chris raised his eyebrow suspiciously.
"Will you trust me?" Mimmi asked, a small smirk on her face.
Chris gave a nod. "Yeah, of course," he agreed.
"Then you'll just have to wait and see," Mimmi smiled. She and Chris spent a few more minutes talking before he had to go get ready for his shift.
They took their lunches together later that day, and even though he was dying to know what it was Mimmi wanted to show him at the end of the day, Chris didn't ask. Like he'd said when they first talked that morning, he trusted her. By the end of his shift, his curiosity had peaked, but he knew Mimmi had already headed home since she'd stopped by before leaving to say goodbye. She had briefly mentioned that she had some stuff to get from home before they met up again after the park closed.
CHCHCH
As the Marine Park was closing later that evening, Chris made his way back inside and to the dolphin pool where he and Mimmi had worked with the dolphin before he got into the program in San Diego and where they had first said their 'I love yous' several weeks before.
Mimmi was already there facing the water while standing in the sand. She had a bag of towels sitting next to her. She turned at the sound of his approaching footsteps. When she saw it was him, a light shone in her eyes. "Hey," she spoke as he entered through the gate.
"Hey," he replied, walking up to her. Chris gave Mimmi a kiss on the side of her forehead as he reached her. "So, what was it you wanted to show me?" he asked, his curiosity once again peaked.
"Can I trust you?" Mimmi asked, looking up to him.
"You already asked me this earlier," Chris spoke, turning to look down to her.
"Can I trust you?" Mimmi asked again, more serious than the last time as she met his eyes.
"Yes."
"Close your eyes."
"What? Is this like with the dolphins?"
"No questions; just close them."
Chris sighed, but a smile played at his lips and he closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath, Chris focused on using his other senses. He heard Mimmi walking across the sand and down to the water as well as seagulls calling out to each other in the distance. A couple seconds later, he heard splashing in the water. Had Mimmi gone in? Fully clothed? He furrowed his brow but kept his eyes closed.
"All right, you can open them," Mimmi's voice spoke from somewhere in front of Chris.
He took another deep breath as he opened his eyes. Mimmi was in the water in front of him, but he could tell she wasn't wearing when she had been just 30 seconds before. His brow furrowed in confusion once again, until he saw why she wasn't wearing the same thing she was before. Her golden tail swished above the surface of the water. Chris gasped as he realized what was going on. Mimmi was a mermaid. Smiling, he went over to the water and dove in to join her.
When he surfaced, Chris faced Mimmi. He wore an even bigger smile than ever before on his face, and her expression mirrored his. Chris placed his hand softly on the side of Mimmi's face as he leaned in to give her a slow, loving kiss.
"So, you're not upset I kept this from you?" Mimmi asked when they separated.
"No. I mean, I probably wouldn't have told you if I had been a merman, or at least not right away," he added. "What else do I need to know about you being a mermaid? How does it all work? How long have you been a mermaid?"
"I've been a mermaid my whole life. I was born at sea," Mimmi explained. Chris' eyes widened. "And there's a lot more mermaids. But I transform whenever I touch water. I have ten seconds before I actually transform after touching it."
"Wow," Chris breathed. "Can you tell me more? Maybe after we get out of the water?"
"Yeah. That sounds good."
The couple swam over to shore. Mimmi explained how her powers worked while she dried her tail. When she was finished drying herself, Mimmi turned to dry Chris; he looked to his perfectly dry clothes in amazement a couple minutes later.
That evening, Chris got to find out who the other mermaids on land were, as well as getting a rundown of everything to do with mermaids and mermen. He soon felt like an expert and was happy just to know the secret. He promised he'd never tell anyone outside of the group that didn't already know.

4 years later (They're 21)
Chris found himself having trouble thinking about anything other than Mimmi more often than he cared to admit. He was able to focus on his work and get everything he needed to do at work done on any given day, but he found himself wanting to spend all his other time with Mimmi. He was sure more now than ever that she was the love of his life. He was never going to find anyone he connected to as well as he did with her. They shared a love of the sea and sea life which had initially brought them together as teenagers. After spending years getting to know her, getting to love her, and getting to share her secret life with her, he couldn't imagine being apart from her.
Every second he spent talking and laughing with her as well as loving her made him more and more sure that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, giving her the love and support she needed, and knowing she'd do the same for him.
Their shifts hardly ever started at the same time, and more often than not, her shift started before his. Every morning before his shift, he went over to her toy cart to talk to her like he had started doing when they were teenagers. On the days where she'd be busy with a customer as he walked up, he loved watching her eyes light up and smile broaden when she saw him. In the same way he seemed to brighten her morning, she brightened his. Not matter how groggy and tired he may have been, he always clocked in for his shift with a smile on his face because of her.
He'd spent time thinking it over; it was a big decision. They'd talked about it a little, and he knew Mimmi was fond of the idea. After deciding it was time, Chris went to Evie, who he was certain would end up being both his and Mimmi's sister-in-law.
"Evie, can I talk to you?" Chris spoke, coming into the café one day where he had gotten out of work before Mimmi after having a short shift.
"Yeah, just give me one minute to finish up here," she called out to him. She turned back to the customer she was with and helped her finish up before going to join Chris at a nearby table. "So, what did you want to talk about?"
"I want to ask Mimmi to marry me, but I don't know the right ring size to get. I was hoping maybe you could help because I didn't think Ondina was going to be much help on this front."
Evie smiled. "Yeah, of course I'll help you. I'm pretty sure her ring size is 6.5. Would you want me to do something to double check it?"
"Do you think you could? I mean, if it's too much trouble, I know rings can be resized," Chris spoke. He was about to continue rambling when Evie cut him off.
"It's not too much trouble. I have some ring sizers at home; I'm sure I can get her to think we're doing something else to keep her suspicions at bay."
Chris breathed a sigh of relief and smiled to Evie. "Thank-you for doing this for me."
"No problem. So, any ideas on how you're going to propose once you get the ring?"
Chris gave a sly smile. "Yeah, I have an idea, but it's a secret."
"You can't even tell me?" Evie joked. "You're sure you can't give me a hint. Even just a little one?"
"My lips are sealed," Chris spoke, making the zipping motion over his lips, miming locking them and tossing the key aside.
"All right," Evie agreed. "You don't need to tell me anything now, but I expect full details afterwards."
"Of course."
"And seeing the ring before?" she tried.
"Hmm," Chris trailed off in thought. "I don't know about that one." Evie shot him a look that said 'really' as she raised her brow. "Of course you can see the ring." Chris paused. "Should I talk to Zac about this since their dad is who knows where?"
Evie shrugged. "You two already get along like brothers, I'm sure he'll have nothing against it."
"Maybe I better check," Chris trailed off.
Evie laughed and got up to tend to her shop, leaving Chris in thought. He decided that while he waited for Evie to find out Mimmi's ring size for sure, he'd find time to talk to Zac alone to see what he thought of Chris' idea.
It took a couple days for Chris to think out the best time to talk to Zac, and though he didn't like the idea of having to skip out on some if not most of the time he usually spent talking to Mimmi in the morning before his shift, that hour would be the best to catch Zac. In that hour, he wouldn't have to worry about Mimmi visiting Zac and finding out about what he was planning for her. Chris also knew that Zac would be up at that time because of his own job.
Chris gave a few light knocks on Zac's bungalow door which was where he lived while still in school to get his business degree. "Come in," Zac replied almost instantly. "Chris, hey. Right, you said you wanted to talk today before either of us headed to work. What's up?" Zac asked as he made his way to the smaller of the two couches to sit down.
"There's something I wanted to ask you," Chris answered while he sat down on the other couch.
"Shoot."
Chris took a deep breath to try and gather his thoughts. "I want to ask Mimmi to marry me and I want to ask you what you thought before I do."
"Are you kidding? I'd love for you to marry Mimmi!" Zac replied. "You're a great friend and I know you'll be a great husband to her. And an awesome brother." Zac and Chris both stood and Zac gave his future brother-in-law a hug.
"Thanks. Now that that's sorted out, I just have to find a ring and ask her."
"I'm sure she'll love any ring you pick out for her. Good luck on figuring out how to ask her and everything."
"Thanks. I should head to work, so I'll see you later."
Zac nodded as Chris showed himself out. The meeting between the two had been short, but Chris was making progress with everything and pretty much had his whole plan in place as soon as he picked out a ring.
CHCHCH
When it came to picking out a ring, Evie and Ondina were a big help. They had both spent a ton of time with Mimmi and knew which style would suit Mimmi the best. While they were at the jewelry shop, he decided to design his own ring for Mimmi. He picked some of the features for the ring he liked the best then Evie and Ondina helped him narrow it down to the ones for it that would work best Mimmi. In the end, he loved the design and the three of them agreed that Mimmi would love it as well. Once it was designed, all Chris would have to do was ask her to marry him.
CHCHCH
The ring was in Chris' pocket as he had picked it up the night before after work. That morning, when he talked to Mimmi before his shift, he asked her to stay until his shift ended because he had something he wanted to show her. He promised that unlike the last time when he really wanted to tell her something, this time, he had something to show her. "So, can you stay a little longer than normal?"
"Yeah, of course," Mimmi replied.
"Sweet. I promise it won't disappoint. I love you," Chris said, placing a kiss on Mimmi's check. He had brought the request up close to when he had to leave so there wouldn't be too long for Mimmi to ask questions. They still planned to have their lunch together like they normally did, but Chris was sure he could take care of any questions Mimmi had then.
However, at lunch, Mimmi didn't pose any questions to Chris. She trusted him and like when she had asked him to trust her about revealing the secret to him; this time, it was her turn to trust him.
The day went by quickly enough for both Chris and Mimmi. While Mimmi waited the extra hour for Chris' shift to be done, she sat in the employee break room and had a snack, then went to see the dolphins by Chris— one of her favorite pass times.
At first, Mimmi stood at a distance to just watch Chris as he worked on tricks with them and played with them in general. They always enjoyed essentially playing fetch with him and the other trainers when they tossed different toys into the water for them. Chris was the only one by the dolphins at that time. The dolphin show was still going on so most of the trainers were helping there while Chris took care of the ones that weren't ready for the show yet or were being rehabilitated.
After a minute of watching him, Mimmi walked over to meet him. "Hey," she greeted.
"Mimmi, hey. I wasn't really expecting you to come over here yet. I'm still on the clock."
"Yeah, I know, I just thought I would come see you and them," Mimmi explained.
"Great," Chris replied, looking to Mimmi with a grin.
After another minute of exchanging words, Mimmi decided to get closer to the level of the dolphin they were by. She was still young and had been rescued to be rehabilitated. Chris checked to make sure no one was coming and that the dolphin show was still going, once he confirmed that it was, Mimmi began talking to the dolphin to make sure she was doing all right. Secretly, while no one else was around, Mimmi had talked with the dolphins, including this one, before.
Mimmi only talked with her for a couple minutes in case anyone would be coming from somewhere other than the dolphin show or in case it ended. In that time, she was able to find that the dolphin felt she was doing well, much better than when she had first been rescued. She felt like she was ready to go back home in the near future, and that aligned with what the other caretakers of the dolphins thought. Mimmi relayed it all to Chris once she stood.
"Sounds fantastic," Chris replied.
"Yeah," Mimmi added.
"I just have a few more things to help take care of before I can punch out. If you want to you can go and wait by the doors to the lab since you aren't on the clock anymore."
"Okay. See you in a little while," Mimmi said. She placed a kiss on Chris' check and made her way to the bench. She had long since gotten a phone of her own for work and other emergencies that might arise, so she looked through things on it while she waited for Chris to finish up his shift.
"Are you ready?" Chris asked, coming up to Mimmi after clocking out.
"What am I supposed to be ready for?"
"A surprise."
"Well, I think I'm ready," Mimmi replied with a laugh.
"Great." Chris took her hand and lead her around to a different dolphin pool than the area they had been most recently. Instead, he lead her over to the dolphin pool that was adjacent to the one they had been when working with the dolphins.
"What are we here for?" Mimmi asked. "This is where—this is where I talked with a dolphin the first time I was here."
"And where I told you that you couldn't be since you weren't a Marine Park employee."
"Where we first met," Mimmi recalled as realization dawned across her features.
"Yeah," Chris replied. "I thought it would be the perfect place to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while. Actually, it's a question I wanted to ask you for a while."
"Why here—?" Mimmi cut herself off as Chris was down on one knee; she knew full well what it meant.
"I loved you for a long time. I didn't know when I tried to kick you out of here that you were the one and only for me. I'm not sure all of what to say, but I love you and it's one of the things I'm most certain of in my life. So Mimmi, will you marry me?"
"Yes," Mimmi answered. Chris stood and the two shared an embrace and a kiss. The ring was placed on Mimmi's finger by Chris and the two spent awhile looking into each other's eyes, completely lost to the rest of the world.
They hardly noticed their co-workers who had become their friends standing around them clapping to show their congratulations to the happy couple. When the noise finally did bring them back down to earth, they both looked down sheepishly and their checks turned crimson. However, before they left, their friends made sure to give them their congratulations on their own.
"I always knew you two would get married," Karl commented when he had the chance to talk to them.
"Really?"
"Yeah. You've been head over heels for Mimmi for as long as I've seen you two together. So really since we came back from the States. You were completely smitten."
"Thanks for that vote of confidence," Chris replied. He hugged his friend who still had some work to finish since he was working a longer shift that day.
A little while later, the couple headed to the café where they shared the news with their friends, even though there were a few of them who already knew about it.
Chris and Mimmi gave themselves a little time before deciding on a date and beginning the planning of the wedding. They briefly considered having an outdoor wedding at the beach because of their love for the sea, but disregarded that idea on the chance it would rain. They couldn't have only people who knew the secret at the wedding and they couldn't risk those with tails transforming during it.
In the end, the ceremony was fairly small and at a small church that was used mostly for weddings by that time. The reception was catered by the café, giving their friends' business more exposure for the people that would be there who hadn't heard of Ocean Café.
The joyful bliss that Chris and Mimmi enjoyed after being married was only made bigger a few months following when their other friends began to get married as well.
CHCHCH
3 years later (They're 24)
It was happening. Mimmi couldn't believe it, and she needed to tell Chris, but she wanted to find a good way to do it like in the movies and TV shows she had seen since she came to land. First, she had to make sure Chris wouldn't suspect anything. He had run out for a few minutes so she had taken her chance with it all. Once everything was hidden, she decided to watch TV while she waited for him and began coming up with ideas of how to tell him.
As Mimmi began to think, the where of telling Chris became obvious. Everything important in their relationship had happened at the dolphin pool. They met at one, they had their first kiss there, told each other 'I love you', she told Chris she was a mermaid, and he'd proposed there. The only big thing that hadn't happened there was their wedding; and the only reason was because of the danger of transforming.
Now that she had the where, the how and when were the only real things that Mimmi needed to figure out before going through with it. She came to the realization of where just a few minutes before Chris got home. He had also decided to surprise her by picking up some seafood from the café for dinner, which sounded perfect to her.
It took Mimmi about a week to think through really when she wanted to tell Chris. She decided she'd just tell him one day after work. They would sometimes hang out by the dolphins for a little while after their shifts had ended and they had punched out. On the day where she would tell him, she would just suggest they go to see the dolphins.
After the two had gotten married and began living together, Dr. Ross changed their shift times so they could both start at the same time. Since Chris was normally in around 8 anyway, they both began to start their shifts then.
On Friday, when Mimmi planned to tell Chris, it had been several days since they had gone to see the dolphins after work. When they were at lunch, Mimmi brought up the idea as if she had thought of it during the day and hadn't been planning it.
"Yeah, that sounds good to me," Chris replied when Mimmi suggested they see the dolphins. "I know they love you—for very obvious reasons," he added in an undertone. "I'm sure they'd all love to see you again."
"Great," Mimmi smiled. She picked another prawn out of the container she had brought them in and looked to Chris while she smiled so he couldn't help but smile back. He took a prawn for himself even though he had brought a sandwich of his own for lunch. "Hey," Mimmi teased him.
"You want a bite?"
"Yes. You stole one of my prawns. I demand retribution," Mimmi once again teased.
With a laugh, Chris handed his sandwich to Mimmi so they could be even. They continued to joke with each other while they finished their lunches. Though many if not all of their co-workers already knew how in love the two were with each other, anyone who saw their interactions during their lunch could clearly see that they were in love.
After they finished their lunch, they departed ways with a kiss, planning to meet up when they punched out for the end of their shift.
A couple hours later, Mimmi was waiting for Chris when he was able to punch out. "How long have you been here? I didn't think I took all that long to get here."
"Just a minute or so," Mimmi replied. Most of the time the two arrived to punch out at about the same time, but when Mimmi was there first, it was usually because Chris got caught up doing something else for a couple minutes longer than he was meant to.
"Okay. All ready for the weekend." Mimmi cleared her throat because Chris seemed to be forgetting something. "Of course, that's only after we go to the dolphin pool."
Laughing, Mimmi reached down and took Chris' hand in hers as they made their way back to the dolphins. They spent a few minutes talking to the dolphins and playing with them like they normally would before Mimmi spoke. "Hey, Chris."
"Yeah?"
"I actually didn't want to come over here just because it's been a few days since we last were both over here for a little while. There's something else I wanted to tell you while we were here."
"What? And why here?" he asked while he made his way over to stand in front of her.
"Well, it seems like most of the important things that have happened with the two of us have happened here. We were by the dolphin pools when we met, it's where I helped you with the dolphins those first couple days after we met so we had our first kiss, it's where we told each other 'I love you' for the first time, where I told you the secret, and where you proposed. I wanted the next important thing in our relationship to be here too."
"What could that be?" Chris asked himself aloud and rhetorically as he began racking his brain.
"Chris," Mimmi drew his attention so he locked eyes with her. "I'm pregnant. We're going to be parents."
"What?" Chris asked, a twinkle in his eyes. "You mean—? And we're—?" he asked, unable to finish either question.
"Yes," she answered with a light laugh.
"I love you," Chris spoke, wrapping his arms around Mimmi and placing a light kiss on the top of her head. "I love you so much and I can't wait until we get to meet our little guy or girl."
"I love you too," Mimmi replied. The two separated a little from their embrace to share a kiss before falling back into the embrace. After a couple minutes, they decided to hang out with the dolphins for a little while longer.
Later that evening when everyone was at the café for David and Sirena's normal Friday night performance, the couple shared their new, exciting news with their friends. Congratulations and offers to help take care of the baby when he or she was born were offered around the group. Even without the help of their friends, Chris and Mimmi knew they were ready to face the next step in their lives—as long as they faced it together.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed this short. I tried to write it in a way that was especially adorable all around for Chris and Mimmi's relationship, so I hope I was able to do that. Since there were a few things in canon that happened at the dolphin pool, I thought it would be nice to have more things happen there for Chris and Mimmi in their relationship.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update. All of my classes this semester are reading heavy, but that's what I get for being a writing major with a history minor, lots of reading. I'm not sure how often updates will be over the next few months, but I'll try to get at least one out each month.
Anyway, let me know what you liked about this short or what you think could have been improved. I'd love to know what you thought and how I can get better at my craft. Thanks for reading, reviewing, favoriting, and following. Until next time,
