It's not too much longer before they break the news to their manager. They're congratulated and things feel nicer for the day. But things soon go back to normal. The only difference is, Blu is eventually gonna go on medical leave. Blu is still fully capable of doing her job. Not for long, however, as the egg forming inside her grows and puts more and more stress on her body. Eventually, she has to stay home. Or at least, not go to work. Being alone takes its toll on Nate. But he pushes through it to support his unborn child.

"Hi, honey!" She greets him in her usual manner as he walks through the door.

"Hey, Blu..." He's very tired. As per usual since he's been working alone.

"Was your day okay?" She inquires.

"No. Not really. But what else is new?" He replies in a flat tone.

"Ohhh I'm sorry. Did anything happen?" She asks.

"Nothing really. Just same old same old. But 'same old same old' sucks." He puts a bag on the table. "Hey, did you want to eat these right now?" Referring to whatever is in the bag.

"Yes please!" She answers happily.

Nate brings the bag to the couch where she sits. He gives it to her.

"Here. I got a big bag this time."

"Yay! Thank you!" She kisses him on the cheek and starts eating. They're grapes. Lots and lots of grapes.

"Anytime darling." He smiles and watches her devour them. This is the highlight of his day.

"You keep eating those grapes and the kid's gonna be addicted to em when it's born." He jokes.

"I can't help it! I keep craving them." She responds.

"Do you got any name ideas?" He asks.

"No, not really. We don't even know whether it's gonna be a boy or a girl." She says.

"Wellllll how about we just, think of some names that could go both ways?"

"Hmm..."

They both ponder for a while. Eventually, they land on a name they both like.

"How about...Tango?" Nate says, a bit unsure.

"Where did that one come from?" She inquires.

"I dunno. Just thought it sounded cool." He says.

"Hmmm, I like it too. Guess we're going with that one." She smiles at him and they both cuddle up.

They fall asleep together on the couch. Life resumes like this for a few months. Nate slowly gets more and more fed up with his job. As if he wasn't already. Months of working the job alone has turned him into an irritable person. Only when he gets home to Blu is he not in a constant state of annoyance.

Eventually, the stress of holding back his anger and frustration finally catches up with him.

"Hello, ma'am. May I take your order?" Nate recites.

"Yes, I'll take a number 2 with NO pickles." The lady says in a snobby tone.

'Wait...is this the same lady?' Nate thinks to himself.

"Will that be all for you?" He asks.

"Yes. Don't screw it up again." She replies harshly.

"..." Nate says nothing. It IS the same lady. He stands still for a moment and a lot of violent thoughts fill his head. He keeps calm for now.

He gets the order out and hopes she just leaves. Nevertheless, she shortly comes back.

"What did I say? I said NO PICKLES!" She berates him.

"Ma'am...they did-"

"I knew you'd screw up again. I didn't expect anything more." She cuts him off like the bitch she is.

"..." Nate stands there. Tensed up. Struggling to calm himself.

"What? Aren't you gonna say anything?" And she continues.

"Awww what is it? Don't have your little girlfriend to calm you down this time?" You better stop, lady.

"She must have REAL low standards. Or maybe she's just as dumb as you are." Uh oh...

That was the last straw.

Nate hops the counter and tackles her. Pinning her to the ground by her neck.

"ACK!....." She struggles to breathe now.

Nate doesn't say anything. He just growls and stares her in the face. He's showing his teeth and it looks like he wants to kill her. He does, in fact, want to kill her.

"ACKKKK........S....S..T...O...P......KKKKHHHH......"

She starts drooling and her face is beginning to change color. She's staring death in the face right now. Or what would be her death if Nate's co-workers didn't pull him off.

It takes four people but they do get him off. He growls a bit louder before finally coming back to reality.

"H-huh? O-oh no...." He immediately realizes what he's done. The woman lays on the ground in shock.

"Nate! What the fuck man! You almost killed her!" A co-worker yells.

"I'm sorry..." He says in vain.

The manager comes to the front and fires Nate on the spot. The police are called and Nate is arrested. He doesn't make it home on time that night. Blu gets very worried when she gets a call from the police station.

"Hello!?" Blu asks frantically.

"H-hey Blu..." It's Nate. He sounds very distressed.

"Nate!? What happened!?" She's panicky.

"I...." He starts crying. "I went too far Blu..." his speech is interrupted by sniffs. "I went too far and now I'm gonna go to prison..." He struggles to speak through his tears.

"N-Nate..." She doesn't know what to say. "N-nooo no no no no no...." She starts crying too. "The baby, Nate. W-what am I gonna do!? I can't do this alone!" She yells.

"I'm sorry....I'm sorry....I'm....sorry..." He just keeps apologizing over and over again. Neither of them know what to do.

"I...don't think I can get out of this one...I...messed up...I messed up...I messed up..." He keeps repeating this. He's not emotionally stable right now. Frantic thoughts rush around his head and he can't seem to calm down.

"Nate..."

They both cry over the phone till it's time to sleep.

A few days go by before it's time for Nate's hearing. When the day does come around, he pleads guilty. There's no way to prove himself innocent here. It's over when it starts. Nate accepts the consequences that he's created for himself.

"I hereby sentence Nate Bynes to a year in prison" He breathes a sigh of relief as he was expecting a harsher sentence. Blu, on the other hand, begins to cry again as he's taken away. She doesn't know if she can go on without him.

Time trudges forward. Blu visits with Nate almost every day and not much else goes on. Blu is still on medical leave for a while. About a month after Nate's imprisonment, Blu is home. She can feel something. It's the egg...

"Uunnff oh nooo..." She gets a bit panicked as she can feel the egg coming.

"Aghh! G-gotta..." She makes her way to the bed. Barely.

"NGghhhgGgaagg!" The contractions are merciless as she can barely get her pants off in time.

"NGhh..nN..nooOo!" It's extremely painful. She grits her teeth as she births the egg. Alone.

She wails and cries hard as she pushes. No one is there to support her. The feeling of desolation in the house makes the experience all the more torturous for her.

It takes her about an hour but she finally does it. All by herself.

"nnnGghAGGHH!" The egg pops out and she lays back on the bed, trembling and covered in sweat.

She rests for a few more moments, then sits up to observe the fruit of her labor. It's a silver egg. Covered in mini-scales.

"H-hah...w..woah..." A sense of pride fills her as she picks her egg up. It's heavy, and a bit bigger than her head. She lays down with it and hugs it gently. With no one else to share her emotions with, she cries tears of joy while she clutches her egg. She falls asleep with it, making sure to share her warmth with it.

She wakes up feeling extremely hungry. She eats and keeps her egg warm.

"Mn...I wish I could take you to see your dad..." She doesn't want to take the risk of letting it get too cold outside the walls of their home.

"How about this..." She retrieves a camcorder from the closet.

She takes plenty of pictures. She wants to remember every step of Tango's growth.

For the next week, she doesn't leave the house. There's almost no time when Blu isn't right with Tango. She rations her food and lives off of it longer with the sole purpose of not needing to leave. She's paranoid that something might happen to the egg if she takes it out with her. But she also can't leave it alone. Well, she could, but in her mind, she can't. Luckily for her, the egg doesn't need much time to hatch.

After about a week and a half, the egg begins to move as Blu holds it.

"Ah! Wait a second!" She rushes to get the camera ready.

It takes a bit, but eventually, the egg hatches. A small purple dragon comes out. It's screechy and probably pretty hungry.

"A-aww...my beautiful boy..." She picks up the new life and hugs him. He calms down a bit and licks.

"You're just...adorable..." She starts crying and holds him close. An incredible sense of pride and joy fills her. The only thing missing is Nate. Which also makes her sad.

She tries breastfeeding a bit, but it's rather irritating her first time doing it.

"Ng..here..." She pulls him off.

He starts screeching again.

"Ohh I'm sorry, just one second sweetie..." She says compassionately.

She brings him to the kitchen and gets some grapes.

"Here...Try one of these..." She feeds him a grape.

He stops screeching and eats it slowly. He seems to enjoy it. He reaches towards them. He wants more.

"Guess Nate was right huh?" She keeps feeding him grapes. He seems more content with these than he does with milk.

"Here sweetie, wait." She puts him on a table with the grapes and gets some mutton from the fridge. She begins to cook it and the room fills with a hearty meat smell.

It's about halfway cooked when she decides to turn around. The grapes are gone. Tango ate them all.

"Wh-...there were like 50 grapes! How did you eat them all!?" He just stares at her and sniffs the air. He drools a bit as he can smell the mutton.

"Are you still hungry?" She asks as she finishes cooking.

He just sits there and licks his lips.

"Here sweetie. Try this..." She plates the mutton and slices a small piece off. She feeds it to him.

He eagerly chews the meat and swallows it. He doesn't wait for her to cut another piece. He snatches the mutton.

"Hey! Y-you can't eat all that at once!" She says.

She attempts to pull it out of his mouth. He doesn't let go. Instead, they have a tug of war match with the piece of meat. He growls a bit as she tries to wrestle the meat out of his maw.

"Let go of it!" She demands. He doesn't.

Soon enough, it splits and he ends up with a smaller piece. He gnaws on it. He growlingly eats the entire piece.

"I guess you like mutton then?" She gives him the other piece. "And you eat quite a bit..."

She feeds him a bit more. Soon enough, he gets tired. He curls up on the table and starts to go to sleep.

"Aww...come with me..." She picks him up and goes to the couch with him. She cradles him in her arms and falls asleep with him.

When morning time rolls around, Blu wakes to find Tango still asleep. She finds herself crying again. This truly is the best thing that's ever happened to her.

"Morning sweetie..." She says gently. She shakes him lightly but he doesn't wake up.

"No way..." She sets him down and makes some toast. She brings it back to the couch and waves it in Tango's face. He wakes up at the smell.

"Wow. Just like your dad huh?" She just smiles at him. He yawns and eats the toast.

"How about we go see your dad huh? You wanna do that?" She asks.

He just stares at her. Naturally, he doesn't understand her.

"Cmon. Let's go do that." She says as she picks him up.

She cleans and clothes him. They both eat and then leave for the prison.
