AN: I have always been a Godzilla person. Not a huge huge fan, but rather enjoying the thought of the character. Ever since watching the new movie 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters', I have never been more intrigued. I also adore the fact that he had a thing going on with Mothra, I believe, so now I ship the two together. This fic is mainly for the sake of entertainment and for those of you who do enjoy the whole Mothra x Godzilla ordeal.

So, these are meant to be a serious of one-shots. I got inspiration for baby Echo (who is supposed to be a future plesiosaur titan and my made-up character) from the water horse movie. P.S. none of the kaiju monsters talk like humans in this fic, but you'll be able to understand how the communication works. I really wanted to have this sort of nature, parental instinct vibe when it comes to creatures unlike us when we have kids. Hopefully you like it and let me know what you think!

As the rightful ruler of earth and king of the monsters, Godzilla made it clear to all other kaiju that he was not a force to be reckoned with. If anyone were to mess with him or those on his side, they would easily come to regret such a decision. Mothra, as queen of the monsters, was the same way as well; No titan was to interfere with their ruling or dare underestimate their full potential. Together, they were an unstoppable force and made an excellent team. Much to Rodan's annoyance, he found it better to just stay within his volcano instead of having to listen to their orders. Mothra found it quite amusing since Godzilla had already made sure that the pterodactyl was aware that if he ever lay a talon on the queen or disobeyed them again, he was going to end up as the king's next meal.

The humans left the monsters alone too as they knew that the two kaijus were on their side. This made it the perfect opportunity for both Mothra and Godzilla to relocate and find a new domain to call home. They traveled for miles, by sky and sea, until they finally found the right island. Mothra flew overhead first to make sure the spot was isolated, contained no hidden titans, and had a reliable nesting ground for she and the king. The large cave on the island was simply ideal! Especially being large enough for Godzilla to sleep in! It was later apparent that another kaiju had once called this place home, but had abandoned it sometime ago.

Who cares though, it was perfect! Both the queen and king loved everything about it! From the beach that surrounded the island to the tropical forest that stood below their cave, this indeed was the perfect place to call home. It was also hundreds of miles away from the humans so it made it very convenient. If other kaiju dare come uninvited, their would be trouble no doubt.

The idea of having young came one day when Mothra and Godzilla felt lonely with their relationship. After spending several years on the island doing the same routines day and night, the king and queen knew that a part of life meant having offspring somehow. However, due to species and size differences, it was merely impossible for the king and queen to mate. Mothra came up with the idea of raising other young kaiju and taking them in as an alternative; of course, the neglected ones or ones without parents would be taken in and raised as their own. Godzilla despised the idea at first, but that was just the dominant side coming from the big guy. When they finally came to an agreement, Mothra would venture out at night in search of young kaiju while Godzilla would embark through ocean in search during the day.

The first kaiju baby was found by Godzilla one sunset afternoon. Mothra had been resting in the cave at the time, but the cries of another titan awakened her instantly. She knew what this meant. Flying over to the shore, the excitement the queen had upon hearing the cries of an infant kaiju faded when she saw only Godzilla reaching the shore. He shook himself like a dog and landed his golden eyes upon his wife, who was looking around him for the baby she believed to have been hearing. Godzilla couldn't take the thrashing and biting that kept occurring in his mouth any longer, so he lowered his head towards the sand and opened his maw to kick out the baby plesiosaur he'd found, letting it slip down his tongue since he was trying his best to be gentle with the hatchling.

The baby kaiju was terrified; taking one look at Mothra and then again at Godzilla before trying to flee back to the water. Godzilla threw his tail down in front of the baby plesiosaur to block his way, and Mothra began chirping in amusement when the infant dinosaur growled in a fit of annoyance. He hurriedly turned the other direction, scurrying as fast as his flippers could take him, while Godzilla and Mothra just watched him go. The king decided to have some fun with the annoyed child and quickly moved his tail back in front of him to prevent the little guy from going back to the ocean. This angered the baby plesiosaur and he looked up at the king angrily before roaring at him. Godzilla purred briefly before snorting strictly, asserting his dominance. This was enough to scare the baby and he sunk down in fear just as soon as Mothra flew by to get a closer look. Godzilla watched with admiration as his wife examined the infant while standing atop his tail. He knew that she was instantly in love.

The plesiosaur titled his head as Mothra attempted to communicate with him, chirping and then singing a tune to help calm his nerves and have him understand that they wished to become his new family. Once he got the hang of what was happening here, the baby titan fell in love with Mothra and her motherly vibe, churtling in response. His big, green eyes then darted back over to his new father and the baby immediately grew frightened again when he made eye contact with the king. Mothra landed on the sand to comfort their new son in which he quickly hid underneath her wing while peering up at Godzilla anxiously. He then couldn't help but tell his mother about how scary Godzilla was when he had caught him. He snatched him up aggressively and then kept tossing him high into the air, later catching him in his maw every time and even teasing to swallow him whole. This angered Mothra and she chittered angrily at her husband, who just took it by surprise. He was just trying to have some fun and make the kid laugh. The baby plesiosaur was then given a name: Echo.

It suited him. He was Godzilla and Mothra's only adopted offspring until the king and queen found another little one. However it wouldn't be until the coming winter. For now, the two titans were content with just having Echo as their only until they found the next hatchling.

It was another summer evening on the island and Godzilla and Mothra were sleeping soundly in their cave. They had just finished dinner a few hours ago so their bellies were nice and full for the rest of the night. Echo, however, couldn't sleep for some reason. He was eager for adventure! The baby kaiju wriggled out from underneath his father's belly, a nice spot to cushion under once in a while, and waddled his way over to his small pond inside the cave. It was time for a swim! Mothra faintly opened her eyes upon hearing the baby kaiju churtle happily as he swam in circles and did small flips in the water before contently going back to sleep. Godzilla of course was zoned out from hearing any ruckus their son was making and continued to snore peacefully.

Echo finally had enough of doing laps and decided to take it one step further. His curious pupils glanced on over to the night sky coming from the mouth of the cave. His excitement was triggered even more upon hearing the waves crashing on the shore. It was calling his name! However having been raised enough to know the rules now, Echo knew that going out at night was a no-no from mommy and daddy. The only times he was ever allowed to go into the ocean was when he was with Godzilla. Until he was old enough to defend himself, the king would tell him, he was not allowed to be left unattended.

Godzilla's sudden sneeze startled Echo and he darted underwater in his pond for cover. The king growled softly upon waking himself up briefly before quickly drifting off back to sleep. Echo slowly lifted his head up out of the water and once he saw his father asleep again, the baby plesiosaur quickly made a run for it. Reaching the foot of the cave, Echo looked down and noticed that this was not going to be easy. He had flippers; not wings or claws that could help guide him down. The only way he got up here was either by mom or dad. No way would he survive out there if he left on his own either. Darn! Guess there was only one way around this one...

Godzilla and Mothra were startled awake upon hearing the plesiosaur's cries echo within the cave. Godzilla immediately looked underneath him, but began to worry when he didn't see the baby kaiju there. Mothra flapped her wings and frantically stood on her perch, chirping in an attempt to communicate with her son. However, the panic they had ceased when they noticed little Echo waddling his way back over from the mouth of the cave. Stunned for a moment, the king and queen kept their gaze locked on him as he made his way over to communicate with Godzilla.

Echo churtled a few times, gesturing his head towards the ocean at the titan and once Godzilla got the memo, he immediately glared at his son and snorted in response with a big fat 'no' before lying back down to continue sleeping. Echo growled and let out an unhappy croak upon his father's answer before waddling over and beginning to nuzzle his enormous snout. Please, Echo expressed by calling for Godzilla's attention. The titan lifted a tired eye before snorting again to go back to sleep. NO.

As important as it was to keep the rules as they were, Mothra couldn't stand to see her young kaiju upset about something simple he longed in doing. Echo was very limited on going out into the ocean, but maybe tonight her husband could take him out for a good long swim and enjoy the stars. Taking one look towards the sky then back towards her son, Mothra decided to let it slide for just this one night. But Godzilla would be accompanying him. Mothra chirped sharply for her husband to awaken and take Echo, but the big guy pretended to not hear his wife's orders. Mothra knew when he was faking, so she chirped again; this time a little more harshly. Godzilla still pretended he didn't here and began to snore softly.

Mothra grew impatient and didn't have time for this ignorance. She was tired, and not to mention grumpy, at this time of night during her slumber so her chirp immediately turned into an annoyed chitter. The king stirred in his slumber soundly before Mothra finally had the last straw and shot a batch of cocoon at her husband. Godzilla woke up almost immediately and turned to glare at the queen for what she'd done, but the moth didn't want to hear any of it and informed him to take the baby plesiosaur to the ocean. The king sneered at his wife and angrily growled under his breath while Echo watched them from down below with excitement filling in his eyes. He knew his mom was going to win the argument! She always does!

Mothra argued back with Godzilla and the titan thrashed his tail annoyingly upon hearing her chittering, thrashing it against the cave walls as they continued bickering. Echo, being as small as he was compared to them, jumped up off the ground each time his father whammed his tail. Finally Godzilla snorted angrily as Mothra again had won the argument. Fine, he would take Echo to go for a swim, but only for a few minutes. The moth chirped in appreciation before nesting herself back to sleep while Godzilla then eyed his son with a look of pure agitation. The enormous titan then lazily began to lift himself up off the ground and proceed to crawl like a lizard out of the cave. Echo followed him with pure delight and was trying his best to keep up, but once he got to the edge, he nearly fell to his demise when he couldn't halt himself in time.

Godzilla now stood in front of the cave, watching with slight amusement as the baby dinosaur kept pacing back and forth to see if there was any other way he could get over solo. Godzilla released a soft growl. The only way he was getting across to the island was by mouth. Echo protested against his father's orders by croaking in annoyance. He hated being treated like a baby! He was a big boy now! Not a little hatchling!

Godzilla ignored him and leaned his head downward, opening his mouth for Echo to hop in. Echo roared again in disapproval and this was enough to get the titan to shut his maw before glaring at him. He was beginning to lose his patience and didn't have time to argue with a child. He wanted to get back to sleep!

Godzilla let off a small roar that was enough to scare the crap out of Echo to inform him that there was no time for this mess at three in the morning. It was either swimming or sleeping. The young plesiosaur sulked and stopped his whining before Godzilla leaned back closer and opened his mouth again. Echo jumped in no problem this time and the two were on their way once Godzilla closed his maw. Even if Echo had the audacity to escape out of the cave himself, it probably would have taken him a good hour or two just to reach the shoreline. With Godzilla, it only took a few minutes.

Finally reaching the shore, the king decided to keep hold of his son a little longer until they were completely submerged underwater. Godzilla opened his mouth big enough for the small kaiju to swim out of and watched as Echo swam in circles happily before him. Typical kid showing off to their parent that they were excited. He then made his way over to his father and purred up against his nostrils. Godzilla smiled and licked the baby kaiju in response upon getting the thanks he was receiving. You're welcome.

They swam for a few miles, enough to where whales were usually located during the day to do flips in the water, with Echo swimming around in front of his father. He even did a few flips himself! Before he had been too young, but now that he was getting older, the young kaiju was slowly learning on how powerful he was yet to become.

A great white shark had been spotted in the distance before them, but quickly swam in the other direction upon seeing Godzilla. Echo felt his stomach rumble and decided that it was time for him to have a late snack. Taking one look at his father, Echo churtled for permission to chase after it. Godzilla released a gentle purr immediately. Of course he could go hunt after the shark!

Once he'd been given consent, Echo swam as fast as he could after the great white while Godzilla took his time in following him. The plesiosaur's green eyes scanned his surroundings ecstatically in search of his prey. This was probably one of the first times he was hunting on his own as well since he was so used to his parents feeding him. However, tonight was special for some reason because his predatory instincts were kicking in like crazy! This would also be his first kill if he succeeded in catching the shark. He could feel the vibration of his father's growls not far behind him just to let the hatchling know that he was watching. Good. Hopefully this would be enough to prove that he was no longer a baby.

The shark finally was spotted swimming further out into the ocean, presumably hunting for his own food, and Echo quietly began to sneak up on him. It was oblivious to the plesiosaur hunting it so this made it the perfect opportunity for Echo to catch up and snatch it in his jaws if he could. Deciding to impress his father, Echo decided to swim downward at high speed before leveling with the shark and swimming up at an even higher speed to snag him. The shark didn't even see it coming and Echo quickly locked it in his jaws and shot right out of the water with it; the shark wriggling angrily in his catch.

Echo shook the shark like a dog; his teeth sinking deeper into the fish to make it easier for him to tear it in half. The shark used all its might to try and attack the plesiosaur, but was quickly killed off when the young kaiju finally got through to it. Seeing the gory aftermath made Echo slightly think about Mothra for a second. As much as she encouraged hunting, she hated witnessing things like this. Unfortunately, she wasn't the carnivore type like Godzilla and relied on herbs to eat. In fact, Echo was forced to drink a certain nectar every meal to ensure that he met healthy standards and growth needs. It was disgusting, but he did it to make his mother happy. Echo ate the rest of the shark hungrily just as soon as Godzilla finally caught up with him. A soft purr echoed in his throat, informing his son that he was very proud of him getting his first kill. The young plesiosaur cooed happily before swimming in circles. The king was impressed!

They swam a bit more and longer than Godzilla had intended for it to be. The moon shined high and bright above them as they continued to enjoy the water. Echo would swim in front and chase some fish here and there, but when it was time to head back to the island, he couldn't help but throw a little fit. When Godzilla turned the other way and ordered for the pup to follow him, Echo roared unhappily and actually refused to go. Godzilla stopped swimming and turned to face him with a glare. Now.

This was probably the only time in Echo's life that he ever dared challenge his father's orders. Okay, maybe more than just this one time. Hey, he was a very stubborn plesiosaur so the fact that he didn't know who he was dealing with sometimes was very alarming. Godzilla could probably just get sick of him and either eat or blast him to smithereens with his atomic breath. Echo glared at the king and gestured his body forward, signifying that he was going to continue swimming whether he liked it or not. He wanted more time and was not ready for bed just yet!

Godzilla just watched him silently before deciding that he had enough and turned the other way, swimming back toward the island. Confused, the baby plesiosaur didn't understand what this meant. Okay, so he's just leaving? Did that mean he was on his own?

Pretty much.

Echo roared for the king to not go but the large titan ignored him by swimming off and then later disappearing in the distance, leaving the baby kaiju alone in the deep waters. He called out for him again but Godzilla was gone. No no no, he couldn't be alone like this! He was just a baby! Who knows what other titans lurked in these waters that could kill him!

Echo let out a distress wail for his father, but didn't get a response back.

He cried again.

Nothing.

He was all alone.

Echo decided to get some oxygen and swam his way up towards the surface. He glanced up at the stars, the moon, and then his surroundings in case he saw Godzilla anywhere. He tried to track his scent, but got nothing. Maybe if he called for Mothra, she would come and rescue him. He let out a sharp, heartbroken wail that echoed out over the silent ocean night. Hopefully, it was loud enough to reach home...wherever that was now.

Suddenly something rose up out of the water and the baby plesiosaur backed in fear as he didn't know what was happening. His green eyes then followed the massive figure that had now risen. Hey, he recognized those spikes! He recognized that scent! It was the king of monsters!

Godzilla looked down at the young kaiju and couldn't help but give a soft gurgle, or rather chuckle, to the frightened pup. Did he really think he was going to leave him all alone to fend for himself in these waters? Of course not! Not only would Mothra kill him, but he cared for Echo as he would his own. No way was this little guy going to be left alone.

Echo slightly whimpered while his father kept trying to make eye contact with him. Godzilla snorted and growled for his son to face him. The pup was too afraid and refused. He didn't need to hear a lecture right now. The king had been right. He couldn't handle the ocean alone for not even a few seconds without him. Echo needed his parents more than he realized. Godzilla huffed upon the sudden attitude and immediately lowered himself back into the water, swimming toward the island. Echo followed this time and made no further attempts of arguing back. He had learned his lesson.

When they finally reached home, Godzilla walked out of the water and onto the beach before stopping and waiting for the small kaiju to catch up. His golden orbs suddenly then turned over down towards the small figure silently swimming along the surface of the water and he watched as Echo quietly waddled out. Okay, he probably had learned his lesson but that didn't mean the king had to be too harsh on him. Echo had already been abandoned when Godzilla had found him, so it was very much a jerk move to pull that type of trick on the pup.

Godzilla lowered his head and attempted to nuzzle Echo apologetically with his snout. He didn't mean for what happened and he knew the hatchling was mad at him. Echo didn't respond at first, but his father kept interfering with him moving in the sand, and the plesiosaur snapped at the king in pure annoyance and agitation when it became apparent that he couldn't even take a few steps without being tossed around. He was just as mad as an angry puppy. Of course, Echo's bites were mere tickles to Godzilla so it had little effect on him. Godzilla decided to annoy the baby some more by continuing to nuzzle him in a playful manner, accidentally flipping Echo over a little harder than intended. The baby kaiju sneered angrily after getting back up and he snapped at his father again as the titan now tried to lick him. He was in no mood to play! He froze in a curled, threatened position when he finally had enough and bit Godzilla again on the snout. The king playfully backed his head up and kept eye contact with the angry plesiosaur as he tried to get to the forest; his massive tail swishing back and forth curiously as he kept eyes on his young. A playful growl escaped from the king as he now attempted to nip at the pup and playfully push him some more. Echo angrily roared and snapped again, making it clear that he was agitated and was done for the day. Leave me alone!

Before the pup could make it into the forest to escape from him, Godzilla snagged him up into his mouth. He shook the water off his body and quickly made his way back over to the cave. Mothra woke as soon as she heard her husband crawl inside and return to his resting ground. He opened his mouth and gently placed Echo into the pothole that he usually slept in underneath his body. The baby plesiosaur pouted annoyingly as soon as his father turned around to lay in the proper direction before gently lying over him. His annoyed cries could be heard coming from underneath but Godzilla ignored him. He also ignored the bites that were being given to his stomach. Eventually, Echo would pass out after tonight's exercise and go to bed. They would continue on with their day later.

Mothra chirred lightly and Godzilla peeked an eye towards his mate before purring in response while Echo began to cease his unhappy croaking. While his parents began to drift off back to sleep, he couldn't help but start to feel tired as well. I mean, the hatchling just ate a great white shark for crying out loud and had dinner before bed! Again! He should also be tired from using all that energy for hunting right? Yup. He was tired alright.

Echo curled up and slowly drifted off to sleep under his father's warm aroma. Today would be another new, interesting day.
