It had been three days since the interrogation, you didn't know what had happened, whenever you asked your dad he would change the subject in a matter of seconds. He also kept you with him at all times, literally.

You didn't even leave his line of sight. you went to meetings with him which were incredibly boring. You would just be sitting on his lap and playing with whatever you had been given to you while your father and the leaders had a conversation you couldn't fully understand.

He even took you out of school and was now homeschooling you, he said it was only temporary until everything was safe for you. You didn't know what he meant by that...

The other leaders and ambassadors would look at you sympathetically whenever they saw you, you asked them if they knew what was wrong and they would say that it wasn't something you needed to know about until you were older. When you asked your aunt and uncle it was the same response.

You also noticed that your dad's colours were looking a little grey and he often seemed distracted and sad, however he would try and hide what he felt when you were around, but when he thought no one could see him, he looked....sad.

You felt worried, what had happened?

Did you do something wrong?

Was it because you disobeyed him?

You didn't know....

You were in your room, drawing a picture of techno reef. You then heard a knock at your door, it opened and your dad came in, along with Beat.

"Hey sweetheart, we're gonna visit someone today, you don't know them, but, there your grandparents, your mom's parents" he said softly, he looked....a little sad, but he quickly hid it and smiled softly at you.

Wait....

Your mom's parents!?

They were alive!?

"I thought mommy's parents were dead" you said, swimming up to him, you had seen your grandparents, your dad's parents, but they were busy and traveled around the ocean, but you had seen them at your your birthdays, except the last one, they were too far away and couldn't make it in time, but you still saw them in the holidays. When you asked about your mom's parents he told you it was complicated, you always assumed that it meant they were gone.

He looked away, looking sad once more "Well....after what happened with your mom, they we're really sad and found it it really hard to leave there home, but there doing a lot better now, and they want to see you" he said, picking you up

You thought for a minute "did.....did they blame me for what happened to mommy?" You asked

"No baby, they didn't. They saw you as an egg and already loved you very much. But....they needed time to heal over what happened and they kind of shut themselves away. But hey, don't worry there better now" Trollex said.

On the day of the funeral, he had seen his mother and father in law, they looked incredible grief stricken...however though they did manage to smile, just a little when they saw you as an egg.....however though that was the only ounce of happiness they showed that day, but he couldn't blame them, he had heard that loosing a child was the worst pain anyone could go through...

Trollex pushed those thoughts away, he didn't want to remember that depressing day, he couldn't cry, not in front of you.

He smiled at you and kissed you on the forehead "Come on baby, let's go" he said swimming out of the castle and heading in a direction you had never gone in before.

*time skip*

You arrived at a nice looking shell like house, the shell itself was a mix of pink and neon blues.

Your dad placed you down and knocked on the door, a few minutes later a female techno troll opened it.

She had F/c scales, H/c hair that turned purple at the top, magenta and lilac coloured pixels on her tale, and lilac and hot pink arms and dark pink eyes. You noticed that her colours were looking a little grey.

She smiled at your dad warmly, she then noticed you and gasped "Trollex, is that..." she said, looking down at you in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes.

Trollex nodded "Yeah Pearl, it's her"

You suddenly felt nervous and hid behind your Dad's tail. He noticed and picked you up, giving you a soft gentle smile

"It's ok baby, she's your grandma, she won't hurt you" he cooed gently, giving you a reassuring squeeze.

You still weren't so convinced and clung on to your dad tightly, hiding your face in his chest.

"Sorry, she's shy" your dad said, stroking your hair

Your grandmother smiled "it's alright, I understand"

You swam into the house, it looked nice, the walls were a nice cyan colour, the carpet was a dark blue colour, there were shell and coral ornaments on tables and there were pictures of what looked to be your mom hanging on the walls.

You went to sit down on an arm chair, but as you touched the arm of the chair something suddenly moved and swam away in another direction.

You jumped up in fright and hid behind your dad, shivering slightly.

Pearl laughed softly, she looked in the direction the creature swam in, you looked too and noticed it was a seahorse.

The seahorse was looking at you and your dad curiously, it's eyes lit up after looking at your dad, it swam towards him, making purring sounds and nuzzling your dad.

Trollex laughed and pet the seahorse "hey Stormy, I missed you too"

Stormy jumped around in excitement, his eyes then landed on you, he looked at you curiously.

Your dad smiled at you "sweetie, this is your grandparents pet sea horse, Stormy"

You slowly swam closer and gently stroked his snout, Stormy nuzzled his snout into your hand making you giggle.

Stormy wrapped his tale around you and placed you on his back, swimming to the living room.

Trollex and pearl chuckled softly

"He likes you" Pearl said

You chuckled and pet him on the head

"You two make yourselves at home, I'll go and get Hector" your grandmother said, swimming out of the room.

A few minutes later a light blue techno troll entered the room, his tale faded to a aquamarine colour at the bottom, a pink heart on his chest, dark blue hair at the top and aquamarine at the bottom and aquamarine coloured eyes, and yellow coloured arms. His colours looked a little grey too...

He had the same reaction as his wife, his eyes widened in shock and he looked overjoyed

He smiled at you warmly "hello sweetie, I'm your grandfather, I saw you when you were just an egg"

You once again clung to your father, wrapping your little arms around his belly and burying your face into his side; still feeling a little overwhelmed by everything.

Your dad stroked your hair and cooed at you gently.

"Sorry Guys, she needs some time to get used to this" Your dad said, rubbing your back comfortingly.

"Oh no it's alright, we understand" your grandfather said, giving you a sympathetic look.

As time went by, you began to relax a little around them. You snuggled up to your dad as you listened to the conversation while he had his arms around you, They Mainly talked about how things were going in there lives and what had happened, then your mom was mentioned. Your grandparents suddenly looked sad, it was a type of sadness you had never seen before...

"Y/n, sweetie, would you like to see some pictures of....of M/n" your grandmother said, her voice cracking a little, looking sad.

"Yes please" You said, your grandmother took out a large book from a draw and sat down at the kitchen table, you followed her and sat on her lap, she opened the book, you saw pictures of your mom as a baby, there was a picture of her and your dad as toddlers holding hands, they looked to be at a rave, and other pictures of her as a child, she looked so sweet and happy. There was one of her at a carnival smiling and enjoying herself.

"That was her first Birthday" Pearl said, pointing to a picture of a baby M/n with a party hat on.

Your dad came over, looking at the pictures with a sad expression. The pages consisted of your mom holding trophies for a statue building contest and a cake baking contest, and her and your dad smiling together, they were teenagers and were dancing at a rave.

Pearl then turned the page and you saw a picture of your mom with your dad, your mom was in a beautiful lilac dress with a white pearl necklace.

"What's that one about?" You asked, pointing to said picture

Pearl and Hector couldn't help but smile a little "that was your mom and dads first date, we took this picture of them right before they left" Hector said

She then pointed to a picture of your mom in a wedding dress "and that was your mom and dads wedding day" your grandmother said, smiling sadly at the pictures.

You looked at it, your mom and dad looked so happy...

Pearl then turned to your dad, she noticed he was looking a little off and pale which worried her "would you like to stay for lunch? You look like your starving" she asked looking at him worriedly and snapping him out of his thoughts.

Trollex was about to deny it, but his stomach growled loudly, causing him to get concerned looks from the two older techno trolls, he placed a hand on his stomach and blushed in embarrassment, he recalled that he hadn't eaten breakfast, and he was very hungry.

"Yeah thank you" He said, managing a soft smile but frowned as his stomach growled again,this time causing everyone to chuckle while you couldn't help but roll your eyes....seriously.

He must have noticed you rolling your eyes because he gave you a playful glare.

You just rolled your eyes again, smiling slightly.

Hector chuckled "someone's hungry" he teased, smirking at his son in law.

Trollex only grew more embarrassed, looking away shyly and rubbing the back of his neck with his left hand and placing his right arm on his stomach "ah...uh...y-yeah, I guess I am..." he stammered nervously, his stomach growling loudly again.

Pearl chuckled and got up, giving Trollex a sympathetic but teasing smile "I'll go start making lunch, you guys sit tight" she said swimming off to the kitchen.

As your grandmother was preparing lunch, you found out your grandfather was a EDM machine engineer, he even had a work place in the garden that he let you look around, you saw half built DJ booths, headsets and many more EDM machines. You also learned that your grandmother was a Beat drop button fish breeder, she had a little building out in the garden where she bred them.

When you returned to the house, lunch was ready, you all sat down and ate. The food was delicious, your grandmother was a really good cook.

Trollex sighed contently, feeling better now that he had eaten "thank you Pearl, that was delicious, I forgot how great you are at cooking" he said giving her a kind smile.

She smiled back "oh it was nothing really"

After lunch, your grandparents took you up to show you your mom's room, your dad stayed behind to look at the photo album of your mom some more.

The room had dark pink walls and a double bed with lavender coloured sheets, and the carpet was a nice magenta colour. There were seahorse ornaments and beautiful pearl ornaments on the bedside tables and drawer.

The walls had pictures of your mom as a child, one of them had your dad and Tbdb in, they were eating cake and looked happy. Your grandparents showed you pictures and drawings thar she had made too.

You then spotted a f/c seahorse plush on the bed, swimming over you picked it up and noticed a little tag attached to its tail, you looked at the tag and saw it had the words Y/n written on it.

You turned to your grandparents "why dose this plushie have a tag with my name on it?" You asked

They looked at you, having the same sad/warm looks on their faces.

Your grandfather came over to you, placing a hand on your shoulder "that plushie was something your mom made for you, she made it when her and your dad came over to visit"

He said, remembering watching her make it

"Honey, are you sure our baby will be a girl?" Trollex asked, smiling lovingly at his wife who was sewing the tale on the seahorse plushie.

"Yeah, I just have this feeling that our first baby is gonna be a sweet little girl, mom was the same way, right mom?" M/n asked, looking up at her mother.

Pearl chuckled and nodded "it's true Trollex, us girls just know what gender our babies will be before there even born"

Hector laughed a little "it's true, Pearl was the same when she was pregnant with M/n"

Once M/n was done with the tale, she grabbed a tag and tied it to the end of the seahorse plushie's tale and wrote the word Y/n on it.

She turned to her parents "hey mom, dad, please keep this safe, I wanna give it to Y/n when she comes over here for the first time" she handed them the finished plushie.

Hector and pearl smiled at her lovingly "of course darling, we'll keep it in your room"

M/n smiled "thanks guys, I can't wait to meet her"

"Nether can I" Trollex said, putting his arm around his wife, he kissed her on the cheek, looking at her lovingly.

Hector and Pearl smiled at how happy there daughter was, they couldn't wait to meet there first grandchild

Both of them were close to tears, but they held it in for your sake, once they saw you looking at the plushie with a sad expression, they decided to cheer you up

"Hey Y/n, would you like to have a seafood barbecue tonight for dinner?" Hector asked

"Yes please" You said, holding the fish plushie closed.

Later on, when dinner came around, a barbecue was held in the garden, your grandfather showed you some EDM instruments he had been making, and your grandmother showed you some beat drop button fish eggs, you also learnt that Beat had been bred here, he was gift to your dad.

After the party was over, your dad put you to bed in Your mom's old bedroom.

"Goodnight baby girl" He said kissing you on the forehead before swimming out of the room.

Stormy was curled up beside you, drifting off to sleep.

You laid down and closed your eyes, but then you heard voices. You got out of bed, you hugged the seahorse plushie close to you and swam to the top of the stairs, you wanted to know what they were talking about.

"Hector, Pearl. There's something I need to tell you about M/n, she.....she didn't die the way we all think she did...." Trollex said, looking down sadly.

"What do you mean?" Hector asked, looking confused

"She......s-she was poisoned" Trollex said grimly

Hector and Pearl gasped, looking horrified/devastated

"I knew it" Pearl growled

"What?" Trollex asked, looking up at her in confusion

"I knew something was off about her death, i suspected she might have been poisoned, but no one believed me, I just feel so guilty for not throwing that tea away when I saw it" Pearl said, her voice cracking, looking down at the floor sadly.

Trollex sighed sadly, his colours turned slightly greyer than before, his rainbow arms were loosing their glow.

"It's not your fault it's mine, I should have thrown it away, but I never thought that it had poison in it" Trollex said, looking grief stricken.

Pearl placed a comforting hand on his shoulder "don't blame yourself for this Lex, you couldn't have known"

Hector then spoke up "actually, I remember that M/n was acting strange before she....You know, it always felt like she was hiding something from us and she never used to, she was always open with us, she also began eating this new strange seafood and when we asked her why she just said it was good for her baby"

Pearl then said "I also noticed things were off, she was sometimes upset, as if someone made her angry or something, I just assumed it was because of her hormones or you and her had a fight" she said looking up at Trollex " I also saw her making gifts and letters for Y/n and when I asked her why she was making them, she said she had a feeling she wouldn't be able to be there for Y/n, so she was making sure the letters and gifts would show how much she cares about her and let you know she was always watching over you and Y/n, I always assumed she was talking about being busy with her duties as Queen, but....did she know something none of us did?"

Pearl and Hector looked at each other with sad, worried expressions,

Trollex was silent, he recalled that she was acting a little strange, but whenever he asked her if she was ok, she would deny anything was wrong and say it was her pregnancy hormones making her feel off.

"It's getting late, we should probably head off to bed" Pearl said getting up with her husband

Trollex nodded "Yeah, we can talk about this another time" he said getting up from the chair.

You sighed sadly, you then froze when you saw your grandparents heading to the stairs, you zoomed back to your mom's old bedroom and pretended to be asleep, you waited until you where sure everyone was in bed and you then snuck down out of the room and to the basement with Stormy by your side, you saw some boxes that had 'precious memories' written on them, you looked inside the box and saw a few vhs tapes, there was no TV in here, but you remember seeing one in your grandfathers work place.

Picking the boxes up one by one, you moved them into your grandfathers work place, successfully and without waking anyone up, you looked inside once more and there was one labelled 'the best day of our lives' you picked it up and saw the tv, you placed the vhs tape in and the tv turned on, a F/c egg with dark pink and red pixel patterns appeared on the screen, it was in your grandmothers lab, you also saw your grandmother looking at the egg excitedly. it began cracking, and you heard excited gasps (presumably your grandparents) two F/c hands broke out of the egg shells, and after a ten minutes, a head popped out at the top, she was a F/c baby techno troll with H/c hair, eventually after fifteen minutes, the baby had fully hatched and fell out of the egg, cooing and waving her little arms around. You heard your grandparents cooing and talking softly to the baby.

It hit you.

The baby was your mom!

Your mom opened her eyes to reveal light pink ones, she stared up at her parents curiously and then smiled, "hello little M/n" your grandmother said, stroking her hair lovingly. Hector stoked her fin like ears with his hand, M/n the. Grabbed his index finger with her small hand, cooing and looking up at him curiously. Suddenly the scene ended. And the screen went black.

You carefully took the VHS tape out and placed it on the floor, you swam over to the box and pulled a VHS out that had a heart drawn on the label, you swam over and carefully put the VHS in.
