Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Ozzy was sitting at home, pondering the mysteries of the universe.
"I wonder if you took the bacon out of BLT and put in ham, you'd get a HLT," he said aloud to himself as he stared at a sandwich. Suddenly, Kara burst in.
"Ozzy! Come quick!"
"What happened! Did they finally use my idea for a peanut butter and egg salad sandwich?" Ozzy said excitedly.
"Thankfully, no. Estelle's having the baby," Kara answered.
"Oh, is that all?" Ozzy answered. In 3 seconds, his brain registered what had happened and he leapt up. He ran outside and hopped into the car. He would have tried to drive it himself if Kara hadn't gotten their soon enough.
When they got to the house, he raced up the porch and through the door, knocking Stitch down.
"Where is she? Is she OK? Has it been born yet? Should I boil some water? WHY DO I NEED TO SCREAM?!"
Stitch slapped him across the face. Ozzy drew in a deep breath.
"I needed that."
"Definitely," Stitch agreed.
The two, along with Kara, walked upstairs and found the door to one room closed. Voices came from inside.
"Going in?" Stitch asked Ozzy. The aquarium critter remembered that show on the Discovery Channel he'd accidentally turned to, the one that showed a gazelle giving birth. He shuddered faintly.
"No, I think...I'll...uh...stay out here. So I won't get in the way. That's it..."
An hour later, they were still waiting.
"This is taking too long! I need a sandwich to take my mind off of it," Ozzy said.
"Oz, that baby will come out the second you leave. That always happens with birthing. It's one of those natural things. Beautiful in its way..." Kara told him as he went down the stairs, shrugging off what she'd said.
Just as he was putting the top slice of bread on a sandwich made with weird alien spread, he heard cheering from upstairs. Ozzy went dashing upstairs as fast as his legs would carry him. He knocked several chairs over and didn't care. Upstairs, they must have heard the crashes because Kara was holding the door open.
Ozzy saw his mate lying in her bed, which just happened to be an old banana crate that Aba had found in the forest not long before she'd met Estelle. She was holding something in a light yellow blanket.
"About time you showed up, Gopher Boy," she told him with a smile.
"Will it work to say that I've been out inoculating orphans overseas?"
"No. It doesn't matter now. Come see our new daughter," Estelle said.
Ozzy walked over slowly, not knowing what to expect. What he saw was a tiny white baby in the yellow blankets. Her eyes were closed at the moment. Across her white fur, there were pink zigzags and spots. Her stomach was also pale pink. Her body looked exactly like her mother's who looked like Stitch. Her ears were like Stitch's and although Ozzy couldn't see it, her tail was that of a fox's. Her eyes were catlike too but Ozzy couldn't see that either. All he could see was his new daughter. She was beautiful as the light streamed through a window, making her white fur shine like snow and her ears shine pink. But one thing disappointed him.
"I guess she doesn't have anything that takes after me," Ozzy said.
As soon as the words had left his mouth, the baby's eyes shot open. She looked around the room and focused on her father's sandwich. He had made the mistake of leaving it too close to the crib, just in the reach of the baby. She grabbed it and tried to eat it. But her baby teeth wouldn't get it down. Ozzy stared in disbelief.
"She stole my sandwich!"
"She must not have meant it. I mean, she's only ten minutes old," Estelle told him. The baby's eyes flickered ever so slightly. It almost was the look that people get when their thinking of a comeback or insult. Or maybe it was nothing. Time would tell.
Ozzy quickly forgot about the sandwich and joined Estelle in looking at their new daughter. It had been a long road from planet Turo, but it had ended now. They had found happiness. Experiments 600 and 625, Estelle and Ozzy, and now Mom and Dad.
THE END
Wa'n that nice? :) I'll probably have a sequel to this but not right away. As for the baby's name, you'll have to read the sequel to find out. Mostly because I haven't thought of one yet. I know, I kinda broke my promise about more Kara and Aba. But it's hard to use all the characters. Oh well. Hope you liked the story!
