Ariel's News
Early that morning, Ariel took a walk on the beach. She enjoyed the warm ocean water lap on her feet. Ariel had some news but she decided she would tell it at dinner.
Ariel walked further on the beach. She didn't get very far when she heard a small voice call on her. Ariel turned round to find it was her five year old daughter, Melody.
Melody had just come in from her swim in the sea. Her hair was all wet and some of her locks stuck to her head. Ariel smiled at her daughter. Melody hugged her.
"Hi sweetie, did you enjoy your swim?", Ariel asked.
"Yes Mommy, I saw this pretty shell in the cave by the seaweed forest", Melody said.
"Melody, I told you that was out of bounds!", Ariel said raspy.
"I know but Floretta told me about it", Melody said.
"Your fish friend?", Ariel asked. "Who is Floretta again?".
"She's Mr Finns' daughter, Mommy", Melody replied.
"The youngest Finns daughter, Melody you know she's trouble!", Ariel said.
"Mommy! She's nice!", Melody said. "You just want me to play with Flounder's daughter, don't you! I'm sorry, Mommy!", she said,
Ariel looked at her black haired daughter. "It's okay, just don't go to the cave again".
Melody smiled. "Where's Dad?", she asked. "Is he at the palace?".
"No sweetie, he's at the village", Ariel said. "But he'll be back for dinner".
Melody suspected her mother was hiding something but she didn't know what it was. She followed her mom back to the castle. Ariel went to the parlour. Melody didn't like the parlour so she went to her room. The little blue-eyed princess sat on her large bed. She held her doll. "Oh hello Dolly", Melody greeted. She looked at her teddy bear. "Hi Teddy!", she said. She hugged Dolly and Teddy. She found her old doll, Mollie.
Melody played with her five toys. Dolly, Teddy, Mollie, Ted, and Melly.
Ariel came into Melody's room and announced dinner.
The dinner was brought through in large silver trays. They had roast turkey and gravy.
Melody tucked in. She put several pastries on her plate. The more gravy the better!
After dinner, Ariel shared her news. She announced her 5 month pregnancy she had been keeping a secret. All were pleased. Ariel would give birth in only 4 months so the maids had prepared a cot and nursery for the new baby. Ariel wanted to tell her father but that would have to wait of course. Ariel did some preparing herself. She knitted several dresses and bonnets. Melody was excited. She painted several pictures.
2 months past. Ariel was now heavily pregnant. 7 months pregnant to be exact. Everything was prepared for the baby's birth. Ariel spent most of her time lying down.
That night, Ariel dreamt of her new baby. She wondered what he or she would look like. She might name the baby if it was a girl, Athena, Harmony, Ariella, or Claire.
Eric could decide the name for the baby if it was a boy. Ariel fell into a deep sleep.
In the night, she felt intense cramps. Ariel wished they would go away.
Another two months past. Ariel was due in a week or so. Ariel felt intense cramps.
Then late at night, Ariel went into labor. She screamed as the pains got worse….
