the next morning went by with little to no talking. Kowalski didn't even stay long until he was back in his lab. Rico had been aloud to sleep in by both Skipper and Abby. and Private hadn't wanted to watch tv so he decided to go for a walk over to Marlene's.
Skipper and Abby had been keeping a good distance apart since last night. while Skipper sat at the table,
Abby would be looking out of the port-hole window or Abby would be by the fridge and Skipper would be off doing some practice fighting skills off in the distance. looking up at the clock, Skipper saw that the zoo would e opening and soon.
"okay men lets head up now."Kowalski and Rico came out of the lab door and headed up. Skipper saw that Abby was quick to follow them before he came. following them up Skipper saw that Private was back and was showing something to the others. "
what you got there Private?" everyone turned to see Skipper and Private handed him a piece of paper that had some zoo news on it.
"Says that the zoo is getting another new animal today but it doesn't say what Skippah." looking down at the paper Skipper saw that Private was right, " 'come see the cute new baby animal coming to the zoo.'" Skipper shrugged and turned to see Alice coming over with a small cloth in her arms."what in the name of Galileo is that?" Kowalski ponder out loud. as Alice came over to the Penguins habbitat, she placed the cloth on the island. " here you go little guy. maybe this one will acutally be normal?"
as Alice left they five penguins looked down at the cloth she had left in front of them. "Kowalski options?" Kowalski was about to answer but was stopped when the saw that the cloth was moving. "sweet artic air, what is it?" Abby asked out loud. as everyone moved closer a piece of the cloth moved away and a small gray puff-ball popped out. "AWWW, look." Rico pointed to show that the puff had two eye's and a beak, a baby penguin. "aw, what a cute little baby." Private smiled and picked up the baby, cuddling him sweetly. "well, this is interesting." Skipper said as he looked over the baby, "look at theses." Skipper held the baby's head to show that it had a pair of blood red eyes. "K'walski, what is this?" Private asked he looked at the eyes. "from the looks of the eyes and the tint of the feathers, i say that this little fellow is an albino.
very rare, rare indeed." Skipper rubbed the baby's head, who cheeped in responce. "either way he is sure cute, right Abigal?
Abigal?" looking over Skipper saw that Abigal was far away and was looking the baby with eyes that showed fear. "Abby you okay?" Private asked as he held the now squirming baby. Skipper looked at her and knew what was wrong. 'she's afraid of it. No, she's afraid of the elders being here.' Skipper thought and saw that the baby wanted to go to her and was fighting Private's grip. before he could say anything the baby jumped out of Private's grasp and waddled over to Abby. Abby watched as he came over and she was filled with fear. he looked so much like her own, one of the many that she had. she remember them walking by her cave and she saw how they all looked the same and this one looked just like the rest of, except thoses eyes but she wasn't paying any attention to that. seeing this little guy only made her think that the leaders had found her and this was their sick way of saying that they were watching her, by sending a baby that looked like them, like Linda. soon the baby reached her and raised its flippers and started to jump up and down. "uppy! uppy!" everyone looked at her with a look of wonder. they wondered why she was acting this way to the baby and turned to Skipper for answers.
"Abigal, it's not one of them. they didn't send him, your as far away from them as Penguinly possible. their not here." the three other penguins looked at the two wondering what they were talking about. turning back to Abby and the baby to see that the baby had stopped bouncing but still held his flippers up. "Uppy?:-(" Abby let Skipper's words sink in 'it's not them, their not here, i'm safe.
letting out a slow breath Abby smiled "o-okay" lifting up the baby, Abby let it rest on her chest, holding it close. looking down, Abby saw how the baby was smiling at her and was rubbing its head in her chest feather. everyone looked puzzled and turned to skipper "just leave her be boys,
it is none of you concern for now." listening to their leader they walked over to the two and looked at the baby as it was now playing with Abby's flipper and happily suckling on it. placing a flipper on Abby's shoulder, Skipper looked at the little guy. "well, he needs a name. got any idea's men?"
"Albert." "Kaboom" "how about Jordan Skippah?" everyone looked each others sugestions and thought of them as junk. "Atticus. he looks like a Atticus."
everyone turned to see Abby ruffling the baby's top feathers. "why that?" Skipper asked. "he just looks like one. i read a book once and a main protaganist was named that. he was a man who was fair and didn't judge people by the color of their skin. and from the looks of this guy, he seems to fit the title." looking at the baby, everyone seemed to agree. "i like it, it suits him." Skipper smiled and rubbed him on his head again.
looking over, Skipper saw that people were comeing in. "show time boys, Abby, and Atticus." turning to the people they waved and smiled at them.
looking down, Abby saw that Atticus was playing with her locket. with a smile Abby placed Atticus down and joined in on the waving. feeling a pressure on her feet she saw that Atticus had settled himself down on her feet and was huuging her middled. "Atticus, little At." looking over to Skipper Abby gave him a smile. retturning the smile Skipper placed a flipper on her shoulder. "things are better now Abigal, just remember that."
looking back at the people, Abby knew he was right. but how right could things go until things went bad?

as soon as the people left for the day, Skipper noticed that everyone was surrounding Atticus. joining in the circling, Skipper saw how Atticus would cling more toward Abigal then play with the others. "he sure likes you Abby." Private said as Atticus grabbed his flipper and started to lift him up and down. "Scientificly speaking, a child of his age shouldn't be left alone. so he's looking for a suragant mother and since Abby is the only female here, he choose that doesn't mean a thing if she doesn't know anything about raising him properly. you do know how to raise him right?" Abby smiled as Atticus waddled over to her and hugged her flipper. "yeah, i know a thing or two." Skipper smiled at how Abby had warmed up to Atticus but something had buzzed in the back of his head. how would she react to raising another baby and with what had happened to Linda, it just made Skipper wonder. "and from what Skippy over there told me, you guys have had a chance to raise an egg before and a perticular baby penguin one time." Abby winked at Skipper who rolled his eyes. "well enough said, lets go down bellow for the night team."
as everyone went down Abby saw that Atticus was yawning and rubbing his eyes. "sleepy uh? come here." lifting Atticus up, Abby let him fall on her chest and soon he was sleeping quietly. walking to catch up to her friends, Abby smiled at how cute this little guy was.

in a good game of cards, Abby and Skipper were on the brink of winning but only one could win. "do you have any jacks?" Skipper groaned and flinged the card to her. "well that makes it 15 fish to none. want to play again to see if you can get them back?" Skipper shook his head. "na, it's late anyway." looking up at the clock it said that it was 2200 hours. "bed time." looking over at a pile of blanket, Abby saw a sleeping Atticus suckle on his flipper. "well, looks like someone has already beaten us to it." walking over Abby picked up the small fuzz ball and rubbed his back. "Night Skippy." "night Abigal, night Atticus." Skipper rubbed Atticus on the head and looked up to see that his boys had already gotten into bed and were snoring up a storm. "you know your safe here right, they'll never find you here?" Abby nodded and walked over to her bunk and placed Atticus down. "yeah, i know that now." as Skipper jumpped up into his bunk he looked down to see that Abby was cuddling Atticus on her chest. "he really needs you, you know that to?"
Abby didn't answer right away, she just stared off at the wall. "yeah, but he just doesn't have me. he also has the guys and he has you ... just like me."
Skipper lowered a flipper to her and she took it in hers. "yeah you do." Skipper said smiling at Abby. letting go of his flipper she closed her eyes. "night Skipper." turning on his back Skipper closed his eyes to, "night Abigal." Abby sighed, things may not have been so good in her early years but now she knew that her future could be much better now that she had Skipper and the boys. not to mention the new little puff-ball she was holding would make a big impression too. with that Abby let her mind drift off to dream land which held stories of the future and only had happy endings.
but just like life not every story ends in a happy ending. with events taking place right under the now six penguins beaks, they wouldn't know what to do with would happen in the next week.
