*Your Pov*
I didn't sleep well that night. I really do love animals. If this one doesn't hatch, I'll cry. I already want to cry. I continued to walk around with it in my tail. Max continued to hold my hand. "(y/n)?" He asked today. I was looking at the egg, thinking. My hand was on it. "Yeah....." I answered slowly. "(y/n)." I didn't look at him. "What." He sighed. "(y/n)! Look at me!" He cupped his hands on my cheeks, forcing me to look at him. "What?" I answered sadly. "Look, I'm worried about you. Answer me honestly. Are you okay?" I hesitated. "I, I dunno." I said looking away. "Fuck this." He mumbled. "What's wrong?" I sighed. "I'm just worried about the egg." But this was only half the truth. Lately, I've actually been thinking about my parents. "Come on." Before I knew it, he was pulling me into the forest. "Wha-" he led me to our morning spot. I was holding the egg with my hands now. "I'll repeat this once more. What. Is. Wrong." I looked away. He faced me towards him again. "It's not really to important." I lied. "Bullshit. Why else would you act like this?" He remarked. I sighed. Finally, " It's my parents. I've been thinking about them lately." His eye's widened a bit. "You can tell me anything, (y/n)."
"When, they, killed themselves, someone else found me. I tried to kill myself, but he stopped me. I became his bodygaurd. But of course, I had a life before that. And, I've been thinking about them lately." A tear fell down my face. Max wiped it off and pulled me into a hug. I started crying as he hugged me. Suddenly, I heard a crack. He let go of me. "Did I break it!?" I turned to see a cracked egg. But, it kept cracking. "No. It's hatching!" Max replied. Out came, a baby platypus. I picked it up immediately. "Awww!!" Max smiled. "God, your a fucking idiot. But, you are cute as well." I laughed and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you too." We walked back, but I heard something behind me. In the bushes. Out came the mother platypus. She jumped up to eat the baby, but gladly, I moved it before she could. I gently kicked it away. It hissed, and waddled away. The baby was adorable! "I think I'll keep it as a pet!" I smiled. "You better not get hurt." Max reminded. "I'll be fine!"
I found out, it was a boy. I named him Waddles. I dunno. It was almost midnight and I was out of ideas. I ate with my friends and they noticed Waddles. Nikki thought it was awesome, while Neil was concerned for the safty or some shit. "What's his name!?" Nikki said loudly. The other campers heard, and they came over. Everyone crowded me. "Um...." Max frowned. "EVERYONE! BACK THE FUCK UP!" Max yelled. They ignored him. I was startled when Gwen and David came in. "What the gosh darn Heck is going on here!?" I hid Waddles.
