Spring was in the air. The temperatures were getting warmer, and the days were getting longer. Soon the beaches would be full of young couples and happy children.

Hope and Keen had wed in the winter. It was a practical and financial decision. Their love was strong, and they were eager to start a family.

They booked a room on the beach soon after the wedding. Finally, the week had come. Hope and Keen made sure their house was in order and packed all the supplies they needed for the trip. Then they set off on their joyful adventure.

Soon they arrived at the beach. The sand mounds were already starting to form. As the days passed, the mounds grew larger.

Hope and Keen spent all day waiting by their chosen mound. Then on their fifth day there, the sand mound burst open, and a beautiful little girl popped out.

Joy filled Hope and Keen’s heart as they finally met their new daughter. Keen gently washed the child and clothed her. He smiled at Hope and handed her the child. They had already chosen a name, Sandy.

In keeping with the law on planet Shorelife, Hope and Keen would not return for two years when they would be allowed to await another child.
