Theo typed away at his computer when Doug walked in, he quickly closed out the window.

"Hey Tag, what were you working on?" Doug grinned sitting next to him.

"Nothing."Theo said.

"Aww Theo, you wouldn't be looking up naked ladies would you?" Doug tsked him.

"What?! No!" Theo cried in horror.

"Well, jeez, don't make it sound like a crime." Doug huffed.

"I wasn't looking up p-porn." Theo stammered as he turned red. "I was just typing an email."

"An email? To who?"

Theo gave him an irritated look from the side. "Just a friend." he said.

"A pen pal?"

"Yeah, a pen pal."

"You could have just said that little dude. Didn't have to get all on the defense!" Doug told him. " Wait a second, is it a girl?" 

"Maybe." he said.

"Uh oh, international man." Doug laughed before standing up. "Alright, I'll leave you and your little girlfriend to email." he said leaving.

Theo waited until everything fell quiet before he opened up his laptop and continued.

Keira stood outside the Bungalow with the hose on spraying Athena who was covered in a dark substance as Theo returned from the main building. Athena was hopping around attempting to catch the water in her mouth.

"Stay still, you nutcase."

Theo walked over and smelled her quickly. "Whoa!" he fanned the air in his face. "What did she get into?"

"Ankylosaurus droppings. Face planted right into it."

Theo laughed. "Gross."

"Look at her, happy as hell." Keira chuckled spraying the dog in the face slightly. She lifted her hat wiping her brow that was collecting sweat.

"God it's so hot," she mumbled,  "I swear the Apatosaurus' were passing gas just to get a little breeze out in the plains."

Theo smiled. "That was beautiful Mom."

"Yeah, your Mom is full of class." Owen came out of the Bungalow.

"Watch yourself, Mr. Grady." She said aiming the hose in his direction. He placed his hands up.

"Please, I have a son!" he said dramatically grabbing Theo and placing him in front as a shield.

"Hey!"

"I'll just have to take both of you down then. No witnesses!" She opened fire soaking the two Grady males. Owen made his way over before wrestling the hose out of her hands and tossing it to Theo.

"Get her!"

Theo sprayed his mother who squealed in his father's grip. Athena joined in running in circles while barking tripping Keira and Owen to the ground.

Theo stopped to see his parents laughing on the ground covered in mud. Many times he had heard people on the island call his parents and their family perfect. They always seemed so happy.

But his family was taken care of. With the Masrani fortune sustaining the island, he would never have to worry about anything really. His parents have the financial ability to pretty much do anything. They never had to worry about where the next meal was coming from.

Was it wrong to want families all over the world to be as happy as his?

"Back again?" Gray asked as Theo walked into the lab. "I haven't seen you show any interest in the genetics before."

Theo shrugged. "Are you complaining? Don't you like explaining this stuff?"

Gray smiled. "No, I'm not complaining. Come on over here. I'll show you some of the equipment more in depth."

Theo followed Gray around. 

"This machine right here is used to rotate our eggs during the incubation period and during hatching. They're pretty new, we just upgraded and swapped out all our old stuff. To think back when this place was the first park, they used Mitsubishi Movemaster RV-M2 's to do all that. Now, we can do everything even quicker and more efficient than before."

"So how long does it take eggs to hatch?" he asked.

"Well," Gray began sitting in front of one of the nests, "it depends on the species of dinosaur we're looking at. It normal respects, it takes our smaller species eggs about forty to forty-five days to hatch naturally. Our bigger guys, you're looking at roughly eighty days. But this is all if they are in a real nest. Right here in the lab, we've cut most of those times in half in a lot of species."

"So you go from waiting almost three months to only a month and a half with the larger dinosaurs?"

"That's right. Crazy isn't it?"

Theo watched the machine rotate an egg before him. "Yeah, it's crazy."

Keira laid on her stomach looking out at the baby stegosaurus that were moving around a little ways from the herd. They were rolling around in the sun light letting out happy grunts.

"Mom!" She heard Theo's call. She sat up a little ways and waved her arms signaling him over. He ran over as she laid back down. Theo sat beside her.

"Are those the babies?" he asked her.

"Yes, they are. They're growing up quickly."

"Yeah they are."

He saw one of the adults walk over with some leaves placing it down before them.

"It's so beautiful to watch them." Keira said. " To observe them in their natural state. People have no idea what they miss out on. To think, so many people still think these are just dumb animals who have no thought process and attack at any given moment. But it's not like that at all. From the moment they are born, they open their eyes searching for someone. Someone for guidance. Whether they are a carnivore or herbivore, it's just remarkable to watch."

Theo watched as the young stegosaurus began to eat. The adult with the youngsters looked over at them and curled it's tail protectively around the young. Theo swallowed before breaking eye contact. His mom rubbed his back with a smile.

"Come on, we should head on home. Your dad is cooking tonight."
