Here's a little known fact when it comes to fairies. Not all of them share the same sleeping patterns, but the ones who do? They totally sleep like rocks. That's what Titania believed, anyways. Beliefs, however, are much different than reality more often than not. Because not only did Titania not sleep like a rock (quite the opposite,) she was also at least...ninety five percent sure she went to sleep alone?
The fairy was not sure why there was something else in the bed, but she opened her eyes and flopped around to find...An emerald and pink digiegg.
...
Wait, what? Titania rubbed her eyes and did a double-take at that, before she hopped out of bed and flew out the door. SOMEONE NEEDED TO ANSWER FOR THIS.

What a lovely day it was! Mizu had gotten up early to breathe in the morning breeze on the roof of the Great Moving Library. Here, about 300ft in the air, the morning breeze smelled fresh and unpolluted by the nearby city. It was such a perfect morning, with the sun rising over the gently flowing sea of green. The Betamon sighed, and walked back into the library. Such a perfect morning, nothing could go wrong today.
Just as she turned the corner, she saw how Titania flew out of her room. Eh? What's gotten her so disturbed? "Hey, Titania, sweetie, what's the matter?~"

Titania's flight had been cut a little short. And by a little, it was actually a supremely short flight. It was a good thing that Mizu was out and about, because she just so happened to be the girl she was looking for.
What's the matter? "I found an egg in my bed's the matter, what the heck happened to cause that?" She didn't seem that distressed, just really confused. "...Heck, did we even do anything last night to make an egg?" The fairy put her hands on her hips and landed right next to Mizu. Again. Titania didn't seem mad, just...confused. Like she had no idea what was going on.

Mizu blinked. An Egg? In Titania's room? What the heck? "Eeeeeeh, an egg? Uuuuh." Did they do anything to make one? Mizu recalled the previous evening. She decided to show Titania her Lilymon X Armor form. There was a lot of Digital Scotch. "...nope, can't think of anything we could've done to make it! That means someone must have put it there as a prank! Come on, let's find the egg and then find the culprit!" Mizu seemed rather nonplussed, too. This was, of course, just an act. Internally she was screaming at the top of her lungs.

While Mizu was at least able to remember the previous evening, Titania...well, not so much. She rarely remembered the days when she drank. "...Really? Who'd play a prank like that? It's a pretty weird idea." The fairy grabbed one of Mizu's flippers and dragged her back to the room. "I left the egg where it was, so there's no way it could've moved, right?" Of course, when they had actually reached Titania's room...They were greeted with a very peculiar sight. There was no egg. The only indicator that the egg had been there was some remnants of the shell. Titania herself was pretty flabbergasted at this. There's no way it could hatch that fast, right? How long had it been there? When was it formed? "I...I swear it was right here..." Meanwhile, up above? On the ceiling? This thing was there. Drifting up and around, rather harmlessly, and eventually announcing its presence with a noise that sounded like it came from a Kirby game. Or, rather, the Poyomon sounded like Kirby. Titania stared up at the ceiling. In silence.

Mizu did not resist as Titania dragged her along, back to her room. ...where there was no egg, just egg shells. "Uuuuh, darling, are you sure you didn't just dream about an egg?" She sure wished this was the case, but as Titania looked up and Mizu's eyes followed hers, she too spotted the Poyomon. "...well butter my butt and call me tempura shrimp. That's a Baby alright." The Betamon had no idea what to say. There was a baby on the ceiling. There were eggshells. Something had definitely happened last night, and the very reality of it was throwing the usually so calm Betamon way off course.

"I-It was right there! A-And now it's up there!" Titania pointed there. And then towards the ceiling. She kept her gaze there for a few long moments. "...I hope you're not actually serious about that because I might." Something happened, yes. Titania didn't know what happened to lead to right now.
The Poyomon decided that maybe those people down there wanted to talk to her, so she'd give them her blessing by descending from the ceiling before landing right on Mizu's head. "Kyu!" She did not seem capable of forming words yet. Which was...understandable given she had just been born.
"Hey, so...What do we do with it? Her? Him?" Titania had zero idea how to tell the difference here.

When the Poyomon landed on Mizu's head and spoke, something awoke deep in the Betamon. Maternal instincts. This sweet, innocent creature clearly took a liking into them already. Her eyes welling up with tears, Mizu responded Titania's question what to do with this baby. "We will love her and care for her and be the best parents for her ever!!!" Any confusion Mizu had before was dissolving, replaced with sheer adoration. She always had a soft heart. Confronted with a literal baby, it just broke into pieces. "I don't care whose child this is, she's ours now! She needs a name! And a crib! And food! And toys! And...and...and...stuff!"

Titania had never seen Mizu looking like that before. All teary-eyed, that is. Sure, she was super apologetic during their trip to Luminas...But she could tell why. Here? It was love for a child.
Something she could also feel, given a warm smile quickly graced the face of the fairy. "Alright, we're moms now!" She stated, an air of confidence brimming from her! Only to be met with a "...Poyo!" from the Poyomon. "Oh, I think...We can get the crib and food from Mikemon. Toys I can look into, and a name..."
What would you name a Poyomon if you were the Daughter of the Sun and the Sea? "...A sea nymph. I think I'll call her Nereid. That sound okay?"
"Kyu!" Nereid seemed super receptive to that name! But she was wondering if her mom was, too. So she just looked down at Mizu. With those beady eyes.

"Nereid is a beautiful name! Befitting a child with such beautiful parents!~" Mizu twirled, full of cheer. "Would Mikemon have all these things, even...?" Her train of thought was thrown off when Nereid looked at her with those huge eyes of hers. The Betamon promptly welled up and then broke into tears, grabbing the floating blob with her forelimbs and hugging her. "Oh gods, you're so precious! You're the best! I will be the best mum ever! I will take care of you and love you and I promise I won't let myself get eaten by a giant Leviamon while you're forced to watch!" ...that was awfully specific.

"Last I saw, he got them in preparation for when Syre was born--and we used the leftovers for...Uh. Haru. There might still be some supplies left but if not I can get some more."
Titania didn't expect Mizu to start actually crying at the sight of what seemed to be their daughter's big beady and most certainly not soulless eyes. Nereid herself felt like a floating ball of jelly. The slime Digimon made a squee-ing noise as she nuzzled against her mom.
Yet the fairy could not help but note the...specificity of what Mizu just said. "Mizu...Uh...That's...specific. And kind of grim...And a little unlikely. Is there anything you want to talk about?" The fairy asked as she quickly went to hug both Mizu and Nereid. The Poyomon was both elated but also curious towards the turn that the words her moms were speaking had taken.
"Poyo...."

Mizu held Nereid closely. She said nothing, but it was clear her inside was a maelstrom of emotions right now. She'd unwittingly spilled out her deepest trauma. No use in trying to hide it again now. "...that...is how I lost my parents...my birth parents...it happened out at sea...they distracted the demon lord Digimon so I could be safe...but they were both eaten...if Tsu hadn't found me I would have remained adrift at sea forever..." Recalling all these events, it made the Betamon well up with tears. It had a deep, emotional effect on the girl, it seems.

Okay, to put things simply? Things got heavy enough that Titania was actually rendered speechless. That...happened to Mizu? In front of her, no less? When she could finally manage some words, they were quiet. Shocked. "I...Sovereigns, I'm so sorry to hear that..." The fairy tightened her hug. This wasn't easy to hear.
So, she could imagine this wasn't easy to reminisce about, either. Titania wasn't sure what else to say, until a little, squeaky voice made itself known from between her and Mizu.
"N-No cry."
That voice had to be Nereid, so if it actually was? That meant that the Fresh had just said her first coherent words. The Poyomon was trying to squish herself against Mizu, too. Like she was trying to hug her. "That won't happen to us. I promise. That...That won't ever happen to us."

Mizu kept crying as she was hugged by a sympathetic Titania. Yes, this had not been the best time to bring forth past traumas, but...she couldn't really hold it anymore. And then...the little one actually spoke her first words, and even squeezed against her. This opened the floodgates, and the Betamon began to bawl her eyes out. "W-w-w-waaaah! You guys...! Th-th-thank you so much! Yes, let's be together forever! Let's be a family!" Any doubts and confusion Mizu had about Nereid's sudden appearance had vanished, replaced by pure, undiluted emotion. She didnt even question the Poyomon's existence anymore. For all she cared, she was a gift from the sovereigns themselves, to allow her to be the parent she never got to enjoy herself!

Titania was no stranger to traumas. The past few months (human world months) had ensured that. However, not being a stranger didn't mean that she wasn't any good at dealing with them. At most she could try just being there for the ones close to her.
Thankfully, it was working. She was in awe at her daughter's first words. Awe that lasted for all of five seconds before it was replaced with tears. Happy tears, but tears nonetheless. "We're already a family, silly! A great family!" ...The fairy was still a bit on the fence about this whole being a parent thing, but...She felt like she could do it.
"Though, um...I have no idea what we should do -now.- Like...Is she hungry...? What do babies eat?"
"Poyo." A wise addition.
