Chapter 4: Amitie
I blinked. I feel funny. Or heavy? Maybe? My eyes feel watery. It's hard to see. I wish I could do something about it. But then something rubbed against my eyes, it's a little scary. I-I did this?
Now I can see good. I see two big humans in front of me.
I used the thing I used to wipe the water away to touch the humans. WOW! I have two of those!
"H-How're you feeling?" One of the humans asked.
I have no idea what any of those noises mean.
"D-Do you remember anything?"
I blinked.
"I guess not, Honey. Looks like we need to start over like he said."
"Let's hope we don't change diapers again, Dear."
"Don't even joke like that. Let's raise her right this time."
"We don't even know what went wrong. We were just being ourselves."
I laughed. They made funny noises with their face holes. I have a face hole too!
The big humans looked at me. "Hello." One of the raise their water wipers. I tried doing it too. She laughed back. "I'm your mommy."
"And I'm daddy."
"Imma mum-me. Am-y daddie." I made noises too! The humans are happy. They lifted me up and spun me around. When they put me down I suddenly was super tall. Not like the humans, but I'm super tall.
"My, this fast to say semi-correctly pronounced words and she's standing up like a champ. She's catching on quick, Dear."
"Must be some kind of muscle memory. Think she'll be ready for a normal life in a year?"
"Yeer."
"Let's hope… Hi. Your awful mommy hasn't told you your name yet."
"Love you too, Amitie."
"Uh uh uuuh~ Dear. Amitie's our daughter. I'm her dad."
"Oh. Heehee. Welcome to the world, Amitie~"
"Eh-me-tie."
"Yes." The louder of the two used their water wipers to touch me. "Amitie." I touched myself there too.
The humans wrapped their water wipers around me. I feel happy.
"Eh-me-tie. Eh-me-tie."
