#ecto tummy

Mimic loved his mate. They were the sweetest thing ever. If he didn't love them so much, he might have even tried to eat them! He didn't, but he did think about it at least once or twice… Maybe three or four times.

He met them for the first time the time that they fell into the water, and he was GOING to eat them, but they were so cute and scared looking that he couldn't bring himself to do it! They looked like one of those cute puppies that he saw on the beach… he took them to his 'hiding' place and kept them there for a while.

They spoke about so much stuff and, sadly, he had to return them to their own place… luckily they came back sometimes to hang out with him!

Now they had been together for about three years; and he knew that Deep knew that he was dating them. He wasn't sure if the others knew, he was sure that they didn't.

Maybe Ringer did? Chum wasn't that smart. Er… nothing against Chum, of course… Mimic loved Chum! Yeah.

Today Mimic was sort of buried in the sand, his head rested down against his arms, relaxing. Hey, if he doesn't have to go and meet up with anyone he's gonna relax. Though… he was feeling kinda weird.

He shifts and squirms, letting out a soft sound. He had been laying there for a while now, so he slowly comes out from the sand, shaking himself off the best that he could.

He stretches out, digging his fingers into the sand while his tentacles shifted and curled around brushing up the sand into the water. He didn't really care, it would settle after a while. Once he was done, he reaches down rubbing at his tummy starting to swim away but paused.

Wait…

Why did he have a tummy?

He turns his head down, and his eyes widened. Oh! Okay that is a thing there! That sure is a thing. His stomach ecto was summoned and there seemed to be a little soul forming.

"What the hell?" he whispers to himself, then starts to swim quickly. He needed to tell Deep! Was this really happening? A souling means that there's going to be a baby! He didn't think that this could happen, plus it seems to be a human soul? Just very pale… maybe a mix of human and monster? Haha… that's awkward.

When Mimic got to Deep, he swims over quickly, "Deeeeeppppp!" He cries out and latches onto his boss, "I don't know what happened, Y/n's gonna be so confused!"

"Mimic… unhand me right now." Deep tells him, annoyance in his voice.

"But Deep, I'm gonna have a baby. I should be allowed to hug someone; it causes… hugging problems, you know?"

Deep sighs, rubbing his hand over his face but paused, and turned his head to look at Mimic, "You're-" he swims away a little, turning to look at the other merfolk, "How did you even… you know, I don't want to know. Go find Chum while I and Ringer go find your mate."

Mimic smiles and starts to swim off to go and find Chum. He figured it made sense that he would have to stay with Chum, make sure that he ate… would suck if he died cause of having babies. He wondered how many he was gonna have? How exciting!
