Perhaps due to parental instincts or some grander factor, both Anna and Malachi immediately paused when they felt their youngest scream under the water.
Malachi immediately took his hand out of Anna's bikini and stood up with her in tow.
"Move!"
There was a large rush and all of the water in the lake came streaming upward like a geyser, taking any marine life up in the air with it.
The couple found their infant sitting on the bottom of the lake, completely unterrified and holding a small creature in her even smaller hands.
Once she saw her parents staring at her from above, Cami excitedly held up the creature for both of them to see.
"Ama! Ada! Bu!"
"Ah... yea, we see."
"Wouldn't exactly call it cute though, munchkin..."
Sitting calmly in Camille's hands was a smalll black axolotl the size of a tv remote.
baby hands have unmatched speed and strength when it comes to snatching food off your plate that it's not even funny
