Lucia

"It's a girl!" the doctor told me.

"A-a girl?"

"You did it Lucia!" Kaito said. I finally let go of his hand, which he'd probably long since lost feeling in.

"What are you going to name her?" Hanon asked me.

"Analee," I had wanted to name her that before I knew that she was a girl. I was going to let Kaito choose the name if it was a boy.

When they'd finished cleaning her, the nurse brought her over to me.

"She's so beautiful!" She already had hair, vibrant fuzzy red hair. When I held her close to me, my Pearl Necklace started shining. I opened it to see another Pearl inside! A translucent reddish Pearl, it looked as if it wasn't really there. Hanon saw it too.

"Lucia, where did that come from?"

"Where did what come from?" had Kaito not seen it? The doctors didn't seem to notice anything unusual either. Was the shining something only us Mermaids could see?
