The final chappie! Hope you liked! :D

The four entered the fish-bowl door, and found the five adult penguins sitting around the table. They looked up, and smiles brightened their gloomy faces when they saw them.

"You're home!" Private cried, as she ran and scooped up Gracie. The other fathers did likewise with their adopted children. She clung to him like she'd never let go, sobbing into his feathers. "I knew you'd come back!"

"And I knew you'd still love me," Gracie replied. Then she looked over his shoulder to Salmon, who had a sad smile on his face. She wriggled down from Private's grasp, and walked over to him, holding out her flipper.

"If you still want to take me back to Antarctica, then you can," she whispered. He took her small flipper in his larger one, and smiled more.

"No," he said. "I would like you home, but I see you have such a beautiful relationship with your adopted father. So I think you should stay here."

"But what about your wife?" Gracie asked.

"I'll tell her, and our friends I found you," he said. "And who knows? We may come visit you sometime."

"That would be nice."

"Wait a minute!" Skipper suddenly exclaimed. "Where's Cam?!"

"She thought you wouldn't love us anymore," Ace explained. "So… she didn't come…" Skipper put him down, and rushed out the door. "I'll be right back!"

Cam stared at the zoo for several moments, and sighed. She couldn't go back; Skipper would never forgive her. She sighed again, and turned to leave. She had only gone a few small steps when she heard shouting behind her. She turned to see Skipper belly-sliding as fast as he could towards her. He ran right into her, and scooped her up in his arms, hugging her tightly.

"How could you think I wouldn't love you anymore?" he asked.

"It was stupid, running away like that," Cam admitted. "But we didn't want to go to Antarctica."

"You're not," Skipper explained, as he put her down, and she held his flipper, and they walked back to the zoo. "Sal says he won't take you, but he and his wife, and his friends will visit sometime."

"That would be great!" Cam remarked. "I get to meet my real parents, and stay at the zoo with you."

"What about – he still has no name – the hatchling?" Gracie asked as they ate dinner together. "Do you want to take him back, at least?" She glanced over to the crib, where he was fast asleep.

"Antarctica is cold, and harsh and young chicks don't often survive," Sal said. "I think he'd be safest here, though my wife – her name is Marine, by the way – and I will miss seeing him grow up."

"At least come with her while he's still a baby!" Gracie begged. "She has to see him like this; he's so sweet!"

"We'll do our best, sweet," Sal laughed.

"What are our parents' names?" Ace and Cam asked.

"Your father is called Kelp, and your mother is Aqua."

"And mine?" Cleo asked.

"Ramsey, and Nefertiti – though, she's mostly referred to as Nef." He turned to Rusty. "And as for your parents; your father was called Alpha – he died in a leopard seal attack, I'm sorry to say – and your mother is Veronica. I'm sure they will all be excited to meet you."

"I'm excited to meet them," Cleo said, with a little laugh. "Isn't it funny? My name is Cleopatra; and Egyptian queen, and my parents are Nefertiti, and Ramsey, also Egyptian kings and queens. You didn't happen to know anything of this, Dad?" she asked Kowalski. Kowalski shrugged, and shook his head.

Hey; quick author's note update. As you can see, I have left the new hatchling unnamed! O_O But I have afew ideas; go to my profile, and take my poll. It closes on the 28th. Thanks! :D
