Susan: "Here eat this. آپ need to keep your strength up."

Caleb: "Susan, we both know I'm dying. I can feel it. My mother had the same symptoms. She was gone within 3 days."

Susan: "No. آپ can't leave me. We have to raise our baby...It must have a father!"

Caleb: "I know آپ will take good care of our son یا daughter. Why don't آپ get your brother to help you?"

Susan: "He's gone all the time. I barely get to see him."

Caleb: "Susan, he can help آپ during migration. That's about the only time you'll need big help. سے طرف کی then he will have no choice but to شامل میں in on the migration. آپ will do just *breath* fine. I've been sick for 2 1/2 days. My time is coming. آپ must be strong...for our baby."

Susan: *begins crying* "OK...I love you..."

Caleb: "I love you, too." *drifts slowly to sleep*

Susan: "Caleb! No! Come back to me! No! آپ can't leave me!" *begins weeping harder*

*crack*

Susan: *looks up*

*crack*

Susan: *sees egg hatching* "Oh, Caleb...You just missed it..." *goes over and cradles her newborn boy* "I'll name آپ Private. It was your grandfather's name..."

The اگلے Morning...

Susan: *running up to her brother* "Nigel! It happened...He hatched!"

Nigel: "Oh, Susan! How wonderful! Uh, where's Caleb?"

Susan: "...Uh...Nigel...There's something I need آپ to do..."

Nigel: "What is it, sister?"

Susan: "Caleb. He's...gone. It happened last night. While آپ were away...I need آپ to help me along the migration. آپ have to help me raise my son."

Nigel: *takes Private from Susan* "Oh, Susan, I don't know if I can."

Susan: "Please. I have no one else..."

Nigel: "OK, my dear. I will try. So what's the chap's name?"

Susan: "Private. After Caleb's father."

Nigel: "Private. A lovely name."

5 Years Later...

*Susan & Nigel alone in the ہوم while Private plays outside with his friend*

Susan: "Nigel, this is getting to me. آپ go away for a long time, sometimes even for days. You've got to tell me where آپ go..."

Nigel: "Susan, آپ know where I go. To the far side of the reserve, feeding the children."

Susan: "No آپ don't. I went there yesterday to say hi & آپ weren't there. What's going on Nigel?"

Nigel: *sigh* "I guess you'll find out sooner یا later. I'm a secret agent. I go all over the reserve to help those in need."

Susan: "Secret agent? Why have آپ never told me?"

Nigel: "I didn't want to worry آپ یا put آپ یا Private in any danger. آپ have to promise me آپ won't tell anyone. Especially Private."

Susan: *sigh* "OK. Fine. But be careful out there. آپ know I need you."

Nigel: "Don't worry. I will."

Penguin: "It's OK. I know I'm not going to make it so I need آپ to promise me one thing."

Nigel: "I'll try."

Penguin: "If آپ meet a young پینگوئن, پیںگان named Skipper, tell him I کہا I love him..."

Nigel: "OK. I'll do just that."

Penguin: "Thank you. Thank *breath* you..." *drifts to sleep*

Nigel: "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, miss. Susan, it's OK now آپ can come here..."

Susan: ...

Nigel: *rises to his feet & looks around* "Susan?"

Susan: ...

Nigel: "Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening...SUSAN!!!!" *echos her name*
