DUN... DUN... DUN! Okay, like I said before, baby names! Keep e'm coming!

R&R?

"Really?" Martin asks. And then he instantly looks at her stomach. Duh.

"I'm not showing yet!" Candice exclaims, covering her stomach.

Next, Aviva tackles her in a hug. "Congratulations, Candice!"

"Congrats, bro!" Chris exclaims, putting a hand on Martin's shoulder.

Then he surges forward, picks Candice up and twirls her around in those romance movies. Aww! SO CUTE! And like they say in the fandom world... SHIP SHIP SHIP SHIP! I need to come up with a ship name. Like, seriously. Chris and Aviva are Caviva. Eh, I'll do it later.

"So... you're okay with it?" Candice asks once Martin sets her down.

"Are you kidding? I love kids!" Martin exclaims. "We're gonna be parents!"

"TOLD YOU!" I exclaim.

"You are?" Koki asks. Oh, yeah. She and Aviva were talking or something. And I swear she's glaring at Candice. "Congrats."

"Okay, back to Nessie." Candice looks over at Martin. "How are we going to get her without having her seen?"

"Maybe having her seen isn't a bad thing..." I look over at the water. "There's a fan club. And some law would probably be put in place to protect her. We just have to ask her if she agrees."

"That is a good idea..." Chris looks over the water.

I walk over to the water and jump in. It's cold, but not too cold. And I feel something: Nessie. She lets me grab onto the top of her neck and her head is just above the water. She kind of feels slippery, like a fish, but not too slippery.

"Nessie," I whisper. "The fabled Loch Ness Monster..."

She seems to nod, and I continue. "Okay, so you probably know I'm Leilani. That's the crew over there- my family. And we had this idea to reveal you to the public. You could live like you are now- free and in the wild, as Chris says- and there would hopefully be laws to protect you and your family. People would also want to study you... So what do you say?"

Nessie just waits. Candice gives me the thumbs-up from the shore. I give a smile back, and notice Nessie seeming to nod. I hug her, and if animals/"monsters" can smile, she definitely is smiling. Then she moves over towards the shore and lets me off. I get out of the water and smile, shivering.

"So? What'd she say?" Martin asks.

"She said yes!" I exclaim, smiling. "Now let's go get those laws passed! And other stuff.

Over the next week, we make plans to reveal Nessie to the world. There will be someone from the government and probably a bunch of news stations. And I have to be nice to people. If any of them go near the Tortuga with weapons and are not invited, there will be a problem. (Or near my family.) I doubt Nessie will eat them, though. And today's the day. I begin to walk out, but Aviva stops me.

"Go change into something nicer!" Aviva exclaims. "Maybe that nice dress you wore as a bridesmaid."

"Aviva?" I fold my arms. "Do you really want me to go jumping into Loch Ness wearing that?"

"Nevermind."

I walk out with Luna. She wears a collar today with the Wild Kratts paw print logo, and a bunch of pictures are taken. Everyone's like, OH MY GOD! Leilani's like, ALIVE! OMG! I gotta tweet this! or something. I just smile and wave as I walk through the crowds.

I meet Natalia down by the lake, and soon everyone arrives. And then comes Richard Lochhead, the "Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Food and Environment." (Also known as The Guy Who's Going To Make Sure Nessie's Real And Then Pass The Law to ME.) (A/N I did look him up, and that's what it's called.)

"Ah, are you the Wild Kratts?" he asks, walking over to us. "Oh, what a nice doggy!"

"Wolf," I correct. "Her name's Luna. And yes, we are the Wild Kratts."

"So, the Loch Ness Monster." He looks at the quiet loch.

"Nessie forever!" Natalia exclaims, filming with her phone. "And we're here with Leilani Corcovado-Kratt, Queen of the Wild and Mr. Richard Lochhead, the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Food and Environment."

"Ah, who are you?" Richard Lochhead asks. "A Nessie fan?"

"Natalia Clarke, President of the International Nessie Fan Club," she answers, smiling. "And Wild Kratts kid."

"Ah. Miss Clarke, Miss Corcovado-Kratt, excuse me for a minute." He walks over to my parents, Martin, Candice, Koki and JZ.

"So formal!" I remark, looking over. "Suit and tie. And calling us miss-es!"

"I know!" Natalia exclaims. "Anything you'd like to say to the INFC?"

"Hi?" I wave awkwardly. "Okay, I don't know what to say."

"That's okay." She presses the stop button on the camera and looks at the crowds. "Maria Johnson probably is around somewhere, but doesn't have a gun. Everyone got checked."

"Good," I reply. I'll call for Nessie, and she'll come. That's basically the plan.

"Okay, Miss Corcovado-Kratt." Chris winks at me. "Call her. Call Nessie."

I take off my silver jacket and walk over to the dock. I walk to the end, and everyone waits for me to call for it. I sing a few notes and do something no one except the Wild Kratts crew expects: I jump into the lake. I can hear the gasps as I surface, and see Nessie under the water. I swim under again and stand on her back. Nothing like a dramatic entrance to make life more fun.

She rises up, out of the water, until her entire head and neck and part of her back is visible. I stand on her back, and everyone gasps. "I present to you... Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. She is very much alive. Pass the law. Protect Nessie."

Then another Nessie comes up: a guy version of Nessie that Martin named Surgeon after the most famous photograph of the Loch Ness Monster: Surgeon's Photograph (even if it was a hoax). Everyone looks surprised: two Loch Ness Monsters?! I hop off Nessie's back and onto Surgeon's.

"And this is Surgeon, named after the famous Surgeon's Photograph and named by Martin." I pat his neck. "He's Nessie's mate. And if you haven't made the connection, Nessie is going to be a mom. Just like Aviva and Candice."

I hop off Surgeon's neck and into the water, then back onto the dock. "So you see, there is more then one Loch Ness 'Monster.' But they are not even monsters. They're beings- just like you and me or Luna over there. And they need to be protected. They don't eat people. They like fish. And guess what! Unless you're a fish, you're off the menu."

"That's a lie!" Maria Johnson runs up. "My daughter could swim. And she drowned in this lake! Those things ate her!"

"And what proof do you have?" I ask, glaring. "Nessie saved Chris, Martin and Candice!"

"Amelia said she was going for a swim in the lake when she was eighteen, many years ago. And she disappeared! What else could have happened?!" she spits. "It's not like she ran away. Amelia Lindsay Johnson was her name. And those things ate her!"

Amelia Lindsay... Where have I heard that before?! WAIT! Could it be... Catherine's mom? Amelia Lindsay Jenkins was her mom. But she had married someone before Catherine's dad... Could she be? Amelia is a Scottish name... I think. Amelia Pond was Scottish!

I quickly type in Catherine's number. Scotland is 5 hours ahead of the USA's Eastern time zone, right? And it's 12-ish here... hopefully Catherine won't be too mad I'm calling her at 7 A.M.

"Who is it?" Catherine asks sleepily turning on her video chat. "OH MY GOD, LEILANI, YOU'RE ALIVE AND IN SCOTLAND!"

"Yeah, yeah," I reply. "Okay, I need your help. Your mom, her name's Amelia Lindsay Jenkins, right?"

"Yeah, why?" She raises an eyebrow.

"Just go with it. What was her maiden name? Was it Johnson?"

"How'd you know?"

"And was she Scottish?"

"Are you stalking me or something?" Catherine folds her arms.

"WHAT?!" Maria asks. "What does your mom look like, girl?"

"First off, who are you?" Catherine asks, not impressed. "And second off, why do you care? Here's the story on my mom: She ran away when she was eighteen-ish because her mom was a complete bitch. The end."

"I'm her mom!" Maria protests.

"Actually, that description's pretty accurate." Both Catherine and I laugh at my comment.

"So you're telling me my daughter ran off to America?!" Maria sighs. "Ugh. Kids."

She storms off, and Catherine sighs. "Now come on, spill, Leilani!"

So I tell her the story of Nessie and Surgeon. Then I tell her about my "death." While that happens, Richard Lochhead discusses the new law about the Loch Ness Monster species on the phone. Once Catherine hangs up, I look over at him.

"Yes, sir." He puts up his phone. "Well, I'm glad to say that the Loch Ness Monster Act has been passed. No one may hunt the Loch Ness Monster species and to study them they must get a permit from the government or our Queen of the Wild here." He smiles at me. "The government has named them the Loch Ness Monster species, but if the Wild Kratts object, the name could probably be changed. And congratulations to Mrs. Corcovado-Kratt as well as Mrs. Kratt."

"No, the name's fine." I smile.

"NESSIES LIVE!" Natalia exclaims, filming all of this. "NESSIE FOREVER!"

I laugh. "Yes, Natalia. Nessies forever."

And with that, I jump into the lake. I get on Nessie's back, and she takes me for a ride around the lake.

Ahh, sweet ending! :D Next up is a little one-shot with lots of fluff. Yippee!
