The pregnant male

My seahorse is Ben, and he has friends. The name of his friends are Jay, Lito and Jake. He also has a neighbor. His neighbor's name is Vince. They all have corals to live in and they are very happy.

One day, Ben wants to have a woman to love. So he starts on an adventure. While swimming, he sees a woman just about his age, and he approaches her. "Hello, I'm Ben, what's your name?" he asks her.

"Oh, I'm Ana," she replies. Ben asks her to be his wife. Ana says yes. And so Ben and Ana get married.

After a while, Ben is now pregnant. "Wow, Ben, you're pregnant!" Ana says excitedly.

"Yes, I am!" Ben happily confirms. It takes four weeks before the baby seahorses are born.

On the first week, Ben and Ana just swim together. By the second week, they begin to look for corals where to raise their coming young ones. In the third week they prepare for the birth of their young ones. On the fourth week, Ben has the babies out.

Many baby seahorses come out. Ana and Ben are so excited. And they live together happily ever after.
