Late one night, Marlin and Coral Finn were waiting for a bus. The street was empty except for a group of teenagers that had just gathered around a bench.

"Oh they're kicking," said Coral feeling her belly, "we still have to name them."

"You wanna name them now?" said Marlin, "okay, how about….Coral Jr and Marlin Jr?"

"I like Nemo for a boy."

"Nemo? Okay one can be Nemo and the other one can be Marlin Jr."

Coral giggled, "Just think, in 2 months we're gonna be parents!"

As they were walking towards the bus which had just arrived, the group of teenagers stepped in front of them. They had their caps pulled down to hide their eyes, their hoods up and scarves over their mouths. One boy was holding a knife and another had a baseball bat.

"Hand over all your money and no one gets hurt"

"And that ring too!" said another pointing to Coral's wedding ring.

Coral tried desperately to remover her ring, but it was stuck; her fingers had swollen from the pregnancy.

"Hurry up!" said the one with the bat.

Impatiently, he lifted the bat ready to swing at her.

"No!" Marlin jumped in front of Coral

Marlin felt the bat hit his head, and then everything went black.

Marlin woke up in a hospital bed. The first person he saw was his younger brother, Simon.

"Dude, take it easy, you got hit in the head," he said as Marlin tried to get up, "you've been in a coma for six days."

"Where's Coral?" asked Marlin, "Is she okay?"

"I don't know how to tell you this….she…she got hit in the stomach and….she went into early labour and….she didn't make it, neither did your daughter."

"You mean….their….their dead?" said Marlin unable to hold back his tears, "Wait, what about my son?"

"They almost lost him too, but I guess he's a little fighter."

After spending weeks in an incubator, Marlin was finally able to take his son home. He was surprised that such a tiny baby could make so much noise. Marlin cradled him in his arms and tried to stop the crying.

"There, there, there. It's okay, daddy's here, daddy's got you. I promise I will never let anything happen to you...Nemo."
