Johnson rubbed his head and looked up. He was propped up on the wall. Rico, Rica, and Ru sat at the table. Johnson got up and walked over to sit down. 
"You're up!" Rico exclaimed. He smiled. Ru shot a glance at Rica.
"Um, sorry for knocking you out before," Rica said shyly, one foot scratching the other nervously. 
"Forgiven," Johnson said, being the kind penguin he was. 
"Ohhhh,"
The penguins glanced to see Skipper was up. He saw them sitting at the table, with Rica, and jumped into the fighting position. "What's going on!"
Rico walked up and put his arm around Skipper. "Nrma prba."
"Ah," Skipper said. "Are you sure?"
"Are we still alive? Yes, we're sure!" Johnson said.
"And once again, how do they understand you?" Rica rolled her eyes.
Skipper sat down at the table as Private stepped up. He shook his head and, seeing Rica, curled into a shaking ball.
"Don't worry, Private, it's fine," Ru said. "They're under control."
Private nodded and walked up to them. "What exactally just happened?" he asked.
"First of all, again, I'm sorry about knocking you about. Sometimes I go crazy like that," Rica said.
"Ah, so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Skipper commented.
"Hey!" Rico exclaimed.
Ivy gave a high pitched scream and ran to the exit. "Don't hurt us!" she shouted at Rica.
"Nah, it's fine. Sorry about that, I was kinda crazy," Rica explained, again.
Meanwhile, the scream had woken Kowalski. He franticly looked around to see where he was and calmed. He saw Rica and screamed too.
Rica sighed. "It's fine. Sorry about knocking you out." She rolled her eyes.
"Uh, okay," Kowalski said. "Did I just do that scream aloud?"
"Sure did, soldier," Skipper said.
Kowalski walked to the table, embarrassed. Ivy followed him.
"Oh, great news!" Private exclaimed. "Ivy's-" 
"Not now, we have things to do," Rica said. "We still have to do something about the bringing family together stuff."
"Bring her here," Johnson shared his suggestion. Smiles clung onto the daughter's faces.
"Brilliant!" Ru exclaimed. "But how?"
"I recently built the Transportatron 3000!" Kowalski exclaimed. The penguins looked at him funnily. He slumped in his seat. "Teleportation machine."
"Teleportwhatza?" Ru asked, curling a feather around on the tip of her flipper.
"It can take us places very quickly."
"Great idea, Kowalski!" Johnson exclaimed. 
"Okay then, once again, to the lab!"
The penguins filed in. Ivy waited until Skipper went in, then caught up to him. She giggled, then when no one was looking, kissed him.
"Hope those eyes feel better soon," she whispered, then headed over to the others.
Skipper stood there stunned. There was no telling what was going on, or why Ivy was acting this way.
Lately, Ivy had been pulling Skipper away from things and sneaking a smooch. Her stomach had begun to almost bulge out, and was now a pinkish color. Skipper had not the faintest idea what it was. He waddled over to the table.
Rica, Ru, and Kowalski were exchanging ideas for a plan. Ivy had turned and was tying to hook up the machine. She stopped for a second, patted her stomach and whispered something. Skipper could just make it out.
"I'll tell them about you soon. Everything will be all right."
Then Skipper realized. 

Can anybody realize Ivy's secret?
