Caption: Acorn sprouting from whence a mighty oak will grow.
In a metaphorical way, our pre-inflation-era pocket universe was the acorn from which our modern pocket universe grew inside the multiverse.
Of course, a pocket universe probably can't be considered an organism since it doesn't contain a recipe to reproduce itself---and anyway that view is pantheism---which is the worst.
