Hi, guys. This time I´m writing the seventh chapter of "Wonders of the sea" as I write at the same time my main one; I want to apologize with you since my Harry Potter story is on hiatus for now since I have writer´s block and I don´t know what to write anymore. To be honest, I´m thinking of deleting it. Anyway, this chapter is special since Rachel starts to change in her pregnancy…at the end of the chapter something heartbreaking will happen and please don´t hate me

Don´t forget reviewing

1 month…exactly one month had passed since Rachel´s pregnancy and the time frame in which Kitty was about to give Finn the love potion and then steal the little girl was getting closer. As for Rachel, who was expecting a child with aquatic powers, she began to show different strange behaviors: craving for seafood, being in the water all the time, sing with a siren voice when at singing she could hypnotized any boy or man who came to her; so Finn was protective of her, and even Rachel developed the power to control the weather with her mood. One night, it was not the exception…she was sitting on the rocks as she put her sore tiny feet on the water, she rubbed her baby bump lovingly as she sang a lullaby to her unborn child.

[Rachel]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there´s nothing he shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, through the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!

In the dark blue sky so deep
Through my curtains often peep
For you never close your eyes
Til the morning sun does rise
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

"That was beautiful" a sweet voice said as Rachel suddenly stopped singing and realized that Jenny was peeking out her beautiful face out of the water. "Can I sit with you?"

"hi, Jenny" Rachel answered, looking at the red-haired mermaid and then patted the empty space next to her for Jenny; which she did as her fins and the rest of her tail rested in the water. "I feel like a mermaid sitting on the rocks and staring at the moon…except that I have no fish tail like you"

"Maybe it´s because you´re expecting a child who is half-mermaid half human?" Jenny said with a small smile and Rachel blushed looking at the ocean for a moment. "Rachel…I owe you a big apology"

"Why?" Rachel asked. "You didn´t do anything wrong?"

"By distrusting humans" Jenny simply replied. "It´s just that…I was devastated when the love of my life passed away and…when I discovered that my former student fell in love with one…I just freaked out"

"I think if I were you I would do the same" Rachel commented and Jenny nodded. "So…we´re good?"

"Yeah, we are" Jenny replied with a smile and both hugged. "What about your baby? Do you know if it´s a boy or a girl?"

"Well…Marley had a vision about Finn and I being parents of a beautiful girl" Rachel explained. "But from the bottom of my heart I feel that actually it is. And…I´ll name her Marissa"

"I love it" a male voice said and Rachel and Jenny looked up to realize that it was Finn; who was looking for the love of his life and mother of his future baby.

"Hi, Finn" Jenny greeted to the handsome boy before diving under the water. "Well, I guess both of you want to be alone so…I´ll give you some privacy"

"Thank you" Finn simply said with his handsome smile watching as the mermaid had already disappeared from the surface and was already inside of the underwater. Then he swam towards his girlfriend with his tail splashing in the process. "How is my beautiful girlfriend and my beautiful baby girl?" he asked as he kissed Rachel and then leaned to kiss her small baby bump.

"We´re fine" Rachel replied lovingly rubbing her belly. "Marissa really missed her daddy"

"Daddy missed you too" Finn replied as he talked to his unborn child.

"Jenny came to see me" Rachel commented. "She apologized actually"

"It was very thoughtful of her" Finn replied. "So...the two of you are friends now?"

"Notyet...but at least it´s already a process, don´t you think?" Rachel pointed as Finn nodded.

"Hey um...how come you´re in the water if you can´t swim" Finn asked taking her hands in his and kissing them.

"Being pregnant with a child who is half mermaid everything is possible" she simply replied.

"I guess so" Finn replied with a smile and Rachel went into the water to meet her beloved merman; he immediately took her in his arms and wrapped his tail around her legs. "I love you"

"I love you too" Rachel replied, both leaning slowly and finally kissing each other passionately.

"Pardon me" Sebastian announced as he swam toward them as his working legs and pincers allowed him.

"Hello, Sebastian" Rachel greeted after she broke the kiss between her and her boyfriend. "It´s really nice to see you again"

"What´s up, little dude?" Finn asked when he saw that the little crustacean had a pale face as if he had seen a ghost. "You look worried"

"I have something very important to tell you" Sebastian commented as he took a deep breath.

"I...I better going, I have to do my homework anyways" Rachel replied as she swam away from Finn.

"No" he swam back to her and grab her arm. "Now that you´re carrying my baby, you´re already part of this world"

"Wait...what did I miss?" the crab asked looking at the tiny brunette and then at the handsome merman. "Please don´t tell me what I think it is"

"Sebastian...Rachel is pregnant and...I´m the father" Finn announced.

"Oh no, oh no, this can´t be happening" the crab exclaimed. "This is wrong! It´s wrong! Both worlds are now in big danger thanks to your irresponsibility!" he then pointed at Finn with his pincers. "I´ll pinch you to tears from your eyes! How could you do this to that poor girl?! not to mentionthat she`s not a mermaid!"

"Sebastian, please don´t be mad at Finn" Rachel said staring at the crab´s eyes. "It´s not his fault...it was something unexpected and...It´s also my fault"

"Don´t justify yourself with his faults, young lady" Sebastian replied. "It´s incredible that that boy has a brain and decides not to use it"

"I don´t understand what the big deal is" Finn commented. "Melody is half human half mermaid to be conceived by my cousin and her husband"

"Technically Ariel was converted into a human by King Triton so she could married Eric and Melody was born on land" Sebastian explained.

"There may be some possibility that Melody is half mermaid since she spends most of her time in the ocean" Finn commented. "And doesn`t mean that she was conceived by my cousin when she was still a mermaid"

"still this is wrong" Sebastian exclaimed looking at Finn "how`s that possible that you`re going to be a father? You are nothing than a boy and...what is the queen going to say when she finds out that you got a human pregnant...and how did this happen in the first place?!"

"Well...Rachel and I had sex..." Finn started saying but the crab already covered his tiny ears with his pincers.

"That was a lot of information" he complained.

"You asked" Rachel responded defending her boyfriend.

"I won`t do it ever again" Sebastian commented. "let me guess that..."it" happened when Prince Finnegan Christopher Hudson of Coventry had his legs"

"that`s true" Finn said rolling his eyes. "And don`t call me that, okay? I`m sick of being the prince of the seven seas"

"it`s okay" Rachel said putting her hand on his cheek and then turned to look at the crab. "Well...what was that important thing you had to say to Finn?"

"Ariel and Eric...are alive" Sebastian replied.

"What?!" Finn and Rachel exclaimed at unison.

"How is that possible?" Rachel replied and then turned to her boyfriend with confusion in her beautiful face. "You told me that your cousin and her husband had died drowning when they fell from the boat"

"that`s what I also thought" Finn whispered before taking the crab in his hands. "Sebastian, you have to tell me the truth because Melody deserves to know what happened to her parents. where`s Ariel and Eric?"

"The sea witch has them prisoners in her den" Sebastian commented sadly. "both are inside of a bubble that allows them to breathe underwater but...the worst thing that they both know Morgana`s plans"

"What the hell?!" Finn gasped outraged.

"What kind of plans?" Rachel wanted to know.

"I don`t know, but...it has to do with Melody" Sebastian lamented.

"We can`t let Morgana hurt Melody" Rachel responded. "Sebastian...you and Flounder have to keep her safe"

"Don`t worry, I`ll go and look after her with Flounder" Sebastian said with a salute after Finn put him back in the water and he disappeared into the ocean. "Whatever you do...stay away from Morgana"

"Well...I have to go now" Rachel responded but Finn wrapped his arms around her waist to stop her. "Finn..."

"Not without me" Finn responded. "You won`t get rid of me so easily"

"Fine...you will sleep on my pool tonight" Rachel laughed.

"I love sleeping with you" Finn said with his half-smirk. "In both ways. Please take me with you...I don`t have a place to go and...I can`t go back to Coventry...not with a dangerous sea witch and my mother and her obsession with arranging my marriage"

"You owe me, mister" Rachel responded as she and Finn crashed their lips to each other and started kissing passionately. From afar, Kitty poked her head at the surface and had a little bottle in her hands.

"Enjoy him while you can, silly human" Kitty said to herself but witnessing Finn and Rachel making out passionately. "Finn will go back into my arms and you`ll end heartbroken. He and I will raise your beautiful daughter as my own" Meanwhile, Marley could hear from afar what Kitty was thinking and as fast as her tail and fins could go, she swam towards the gorgeous mermaid to give her an ultimatum.

"What the hell do you think you´re doing?" Marley responded by folding her arms as she stared at the blonde mermaid.

"Well, well, well...but if it´s the pathetic little brown-haired girl with blue-eyes Marley Rose" Kitty replied sarcastically. "Haven´t they told you that it´s rude to spy on people?"

"First of all...we are mermaids, not human" Marley said. "And secondly...I have telepathic powers so I could read your thoughts about hitting on my brother and it´s wrong" Kitty rolled her eyes and simply was doing waves with her hand in the ocean. "You need to back off, Kitty. Finn chose Rachel and he loves her; for God´s sakes, they´re having a child together...my niece!"

"Please, Marley. You know perfectly that Rachel girl doesn´t belong in our world" Kitty replied. "She´s human, not a mermaid. Besides, Finn is my fiancé...we are meant to be together, or else our parents would never have arranged our marriage"

"You don´t love my brother, Kitty" Marley said upset. "You´re only interested in becoming a princess, and that´s why you agreed to marry him in the first place; but no way will I let you to stand between Finn and Rachel. Rachel may not be a mermaid like us, but she´s the nicest and kindest girl I´ve ever met. She´s beautiful inside and out and makes my brother happy. You are just an old hag who only marries for interest"

"Maybe it´s true...by becoming Finn´s wife, I´ll be the princess of the seven seas and future queen of Coventry" Kitty said with an evilly grin. "Maybe Finn doesn´t love me like he does that thing...but he will learn to love me"

"I swear if you make my brother break up with his girlfriend because of you, you´ll be sorry" Marley threatened her.

"I can´t wait to see it" Kitty said with a smile. "You may be Queen´s Carole´s daughter, but you can´t help it, kiddo. Finn is going to be mine, even if I have to get you out of my way"

"I won´t tell you again, Kitty. Stay away from my brother" Marley responded creating an ice bubble and sending it towards Kitty, but the blonde burst the bubble with a spark on her fingers.

"You can´t scare me with your magic of mermaid" Kitty replied. "I was one of the best students at Mermaid School" she looked once more at Marley before disappearing into the water. "I´ll be the future Mrs. Hudson and princess of Coventry" immediatelyafterwards, she dived and splashed Marley with her fin.

Marley stood for a moment alone in deep sadness to feel helpless for not being able to defend her twin brother from a psychopath fiancée. Therefore, she looked at the moon, singing a sad song and at the same time feeling a desire in her heart.

All souls to what's true

[Back in the ocean; Marley is still thoughtful that she doesn`t realize a group of mermaids go out the surface and sing along with her; all of them were young and beautiful and were harmonizing with their beautiful voices. Marley turned to look at her friends as they smile at her]

[Mermaids]

Craving

Aha, constant craving

Has always been

[The scene switches to Rachel walking in the beach as Finn walks towards her and holds her hand intertwining his fingers with hers and Marley inside of the water singing with the mermaids]

Marley finally stopped singing and kept staring at the moonlight; when one of the mermaids that had long brown hair and green eyes broke the silence.

"Why are you sad?" the mermaid asked as the others looked at Marley with interest.

"it`s nothing" Marley simply answered and immediately observed four of the mermaids: two were brunette and two were blonde. "Oh my God!" she exclaimed smiling and hugging each one of them. "Story, Nelly, Lyla, Wendy. Why are you guys doing here?"

"we haven`t seen you in a long time" Story, the brown-haired, green-eyed mermaid answered, her scaly tank top was an intense turquoise color as was her fish tail which could be camouflaged with the color of the ocean. "Where have you been?"

"it`s a long story" Marley sighed. "But...I don`t understand; how could you find me?"

"It was simple...we could hear your singing a thousand miles away" the pretty brown-haired blue-eyed girl Nelly replied. "The other mermaids we were swimming near the reef when we heard your song and...it was when we swam to the surface and then we saw you sitting on the rocks. is everything okay? Where is the prince? The queen has been sad since you haven`t returned home and the prince hasn`t returned since his last visit to the underwater kingdom"

"Well...my brother is forced to marry Kitty" Marley explained. "He couldn`t stand the idea of marrying for interest and swam to the mainland, later he appeared in a pool where a human girl found him and...both fell madly in love with each other. And...now, the girl is expecting a child from Finn and..."

"are you going to be an aunt?" Lyla asked and Marley nodded. "that`s wonderful" she answered with a smile and hugged her.

"what is the name of the human girl?" Wendy asked. "I have nothing against the prince having found the love of his life even if she doesn`t have a tail like us, but...are not supposed that humans and mermaids can`t be romantically involved?"

"it`s supposed to be a punishment but...Ariel was a mermaid and looked for Ursula to turn her into a human so she could be able to be with the prince Eric" Marley explained. "and now...it`s too late because they died and left their daughter Melody orphan. she`s now under the care of my uncle and...apparently Finn is following the same steps as Ariel"

"does he want to give up being a merman to become human?" Nelly asked. "then that means...that he also went to see Ursula to ask for her help. this is bad"

"actually...Ursula died long time ago, the one that reigns the depts of the ocean in the darkest grave is Morgana, and she`s much worse than her sister" Story explained. "even the sharks themselves are afraid of her"

"the truth is...I`m upset" Marley confessed. "Kitty is obsessed with my brother and...she told me to not intervene or else I`ll suffer the consequences"

"ugh, I hate that mermaid with no brain...who does she thinks she is?" Lyla refuted. "as I know...she`s not the princess of Coventry. you are"

"I know, but...not even because I`m Queen Carole`s daughter, I can do something" Marley sighed.

"what does Finn thinks about this?" Story wanted to know as she splashed water with her fins.

"he spends most of the time on land with legs" Marley replied. "to be closer to Rachel and his baby"

"how does he have legs?" Nelly raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"when you get out of the water...your tail dries and splits into two forming two legs" Marley explained. "you can also use them at night as long as they don`t get wet"

"it`s not painful?" Wendy asked.

"no...although at first it`s a little hard to use them because it`s learning to walk with them" Marley replied. "it`s like riding a bike" Story, Lyla, Wendy and Nelly turned to look at the princess with confusion on their faces. "it`s only a expression said by the humans when they want to talk in metaphor"

"how can we help you?" Lyla asked.

"keep Rachel safe and away from Kitty. she can`t hurt her and my brother`s baby; two mermaids have to be in land to be close to Rachel and two of you have to go back to Coventry to warn the mermaid council about Kitty" Marley said. "I have to be close to my brother since I have nowhere to go and we are twins so...it`s better that way"

"Wendy and I will go to mainland" Story replied. "it will be interesting to learn how to use legs for the first time"

"we`ll look for Coraline" Nelly said as Lyla nodded. "If Kitty is dangerous...for more reason the pod have to be away from someone like her and...we don`t know if she allied with Morgana but if she did..."

"you know what to do" Marley said. "and Nelly, if you and Lyla can visit my mother, please tell her I`m fine"

"As you wish, your highness" Lyla said, bowing.

"just call me Marley" Marley replied with a smile. Nelly and Lyla nodded before diving back into the ocean; leaving only Story, Wendy and Marley on the surface. then she turned to look at the two mermaids. "I guess I will teach you how to act like humans during the time you spend on land; follow me" she continued in a monotonous voice as she swam to the seashore with Story and Wendy following her. Once they touched the sand, Marley`s legs returned and wore her peach-colored summer dress. "are you not coming?"

"how is that you wear a dress?" Wendy asked still inside of the water.

"I`ve been on mainland for a long time" Marley explained.

"but, Marley; don`t you think it`s a little risky for us to show ourselves to humans?" Story asked. "We have to be careful, I mean…you`ve spend most of your time on land but for Wendy and I this is new, you know?"

"Come on" Marley said with a sweet smile. "it will be fun. I know you can do it"

Story and Wendy looked at each other and finally came out of he water. As they touched the dry sand their tails split in two and they found themselves with two pretty legs and completely naked; although neither of the two mermaids had noticed but Marley.

"We did it" Wendy exclaimed as she ran her fingers through her long blond hair and then looked at her bare feet smiling. "it actually worked"

"It worked" Story said smiling and tapping her toes on the sand watching the traces. "I can leave footprints"

"Me too" Wendy said and then turned to look at Marley. "Well…now we can go and take care of Rachel"

"I wouldn`t do it if I were you" Marley responded by putting her flip-flops on her feet and crossing her arms.

"Why?" Story asked innocently and then turned to look a young boy with a smile. "Hi, how are you?" the boy said nothing and kept looking at the pretty naked girl totally terrified and then ran away scared.

"Mommy!" the boy screamed as he collapsed in his mother`s arms as she hugged him.

"I don`t understand, what did I do wrong?" Story asked confused.

"excuse me" the woman approached really mad to the two pretty naked girls and the only pretty one wearing dress and flip-flops as the boy was holding his mother`s arm. "what the hell is wrong with you?! This is not a nudist beach for you to be so vulgar and got the nerve to scare my son"

"I`m so sorry, Maàm; we didn`t know…" Wendy started saying but the woman raised her hand to stop them.

"Save it" the woman said angrily and then softened her tone to look at her son. "Come on, Tommy. Let`s camp somewhere else"

After the woman left; finally Wendy and Story realized that they were completely naked and quickly ran to hide behind some palm trees.

"it`s okay" Marley calmed them. "she`s gone"

"I think we`d better go back to the water" Wendy said shyly.

"it`s true, we can`t walk on land being naked" Story admitted. "and I didn`t want to scare the poor Tommy and now his mother hates me for that reason"

"I`m sorry, I didn`t know that woman would come to the beach with her son" Marley replied.

"Humans are not very nice" Wendy commented. "That woman unfairly attacked Story"

"that`s because she doesn`t know we`re mermaids" Marley added as she snapped her fingers and covered the nudity of the two mermaids with two summer dressed. "You can come out"

Story and Wendy came out behind the palm trees and noticed that they wore dressed and were only barefoot.

"We`ll have to get you shoes" Marley noted.

"This dress is so pretty" Wendy said smiling and twirling around. "it`s the color of my tail"

"Mine too" Story commented smiling. "but it`s much better than being naked"

"come on; let`s go with Finn and Rachel" Marley said as Story and Wendy walked towards her.

"Are you sure Rachel is kind?" Wendy asked.

"She is" Marley replied as she and the two mermaids now using their new legs were taking a walk in the beach.

"I feel strange having legs" Story admitted. "I`ve spend most of my life with tail, scales and fins"

"well…you can get used to being on land" Marley affirmed with a smile and the three girls left the beach to make their way to Rachel`s house.

Meanwhile, Finn and Rachel were sitting in the hammock in the garden as some fireflies fluttered around and the air smelled of jasmine. Finn took a ukulele from the floor and began to play a melody as he stared lovingly at his beautiful girlfriend and mother of his baby girl. He started to sing making his gorgeous baritone voice to fill the atmosphere.

[Finn]

I saw you with that ribbon in your hair
Think that I began to stare
Maybe I'll love you for a while

A stranger at a table in a place
And that really pretty face
I wonder what happens when you smile

I might never be your hero
Never been one to fight
That don't mean that I can't be your valentine
I won't be your savior either
Couldn't even if I tried
But I—I think I could be someone you like
Someone you like

[Finn continues to play the ukulele while the melody is heard with invisible harmony. Rachel smiles and continues to sing the next verse in her angelic voice]

[Rachel]

Reading in a coffee shop we share
Hiding shy behind my hair
Watching our movie in my mind

I promise, promise not to fly away
Make a story of today
C'mon, give me a try

Now I might never stop your sorrow
Fix you up good as new
That don't mean that I can't hold your hand in mine
I might never say I'm sorry
Even if I done you wrong
But I think I could be someone you like
Someone you like

[Finn stops playing, gets up from the hammock; takes Rachel`s hand as they walk to the middle of the garden and they sway as continue singing]

[Finn and Rachel]

I might never be your hero
But I think I'd like to try
And the way you look at me is your reply

You got a lot to learn about me
Maybe you could start tonight
'Cause I—I think I could be someone you like
Someone you like

Just as they finished singing; suddenly Rachel gasped to feel a slight tingle in her tiny bump; which made the boy turned to look at the love of his life with concern.

"love, are you okay?" Finn asked, placing his hand on her belly. "are you hurt? I think I`ll take you to your room so you can rest"

"it`s not that" Rachel responded in shock but at the same time her voice indicated emotion. "I think…I think the baby just kicked"

"what?" Finn asked confused. "how do you know?"

"Finn, I feel it inside of me" Rachel responded by getting emotional. And again feeling a slight tap on her belly. "oh my God, she did it again. I can feel our baby girl"

"I don`t feel anything, Rach" Finn replied rubbing her tummy. "maybe our daughter wants you to feel her since you have a connection. Almost like a bond between mother and daughter"

"wait" Rachel replied putting a hand on his cheek. "you have to be patient until Marissa wants to kick in. she doesn`t like daddy pressuring her"

"Oh" Finn replied with a half-smile until he suddenly felt a small kick under his hand. "Whoa!" he exclaimed gasping.

"What?" Rachel asked with tears in her eyes and smiling. "You felt it too? You felt our daughter?"

"Yes I did" Finn replied with emotion. "it`s awesome…it`s a strange feeling; a good feeling actually, as if thousands of sea horses swam at full speed through the Australian stream or as if here on land thousands…how they are called hose beautiful little flying bugs and they have colors on their wings?"

"Butterflies" Rachel answered softly.

"Just like a thousand butterflies fluttering around" Finn continued as his gorgeous hazel eyes filled with tears as he felt another kick. "She likes the sound of…my voice"

"Seriously?" Rachel asked tearfully.

"Say something" Finn pointed to his girlfriend as he continued to rub her belly.

"I love you" Rachel replied as she looked at her handsome boyfriend and the baby kicked again. "And I love you too" she said lovingly to her baby bump.

"She also likes the sound of your voice" Finn said chuckling. "And I don`t blame her; you have the most beautiful voice in ocean and land"

"I still think Ariel has the most beautiful voice in the whole world" Rachel continued as they both sat down again in the hammock.

"my cousin can have a pretty voice and that`s why Eric fell in love with her when she rescued him from the shipwreck without seeing her face" Finn explained. "But your voice is beautiful, almost like music, and if you lived with me in Coventry; all mermaids, mermen and aquatic animals would be enchanted to hear you just like I and our baby are"

"You`re so sweet" Rachel said as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "Our baby is very lucky to have you as her daddy"

"and she`s very lucky to have you as her mom" Finn responded lovingly as Rachel fall asleep on his shoulder. "sleep well, my love" he said leaning over kissing Rachel`s head. "and you too, my little bundle of joy" he said to Rachel`s baby bump and covered it with sweet kisses.

What neither of them knew was that something vile and ruthless was about to occur. Kitty, as she got her legs and stole a few clothes and shoes, decided to take advantage of one of Rachel`s human friend Tina (who always felt jealous and threatened of Rachel) to find about her whereabouts without telling her the real reason.

"Why do you think I want to help you?" Tina added folding her arms. "I haven`t even seen you before"

"because if you help me, I`ll tell coach Sylvester about the precious cheerleading Captain`s position that you want" Kitty replied with a smirk. "or you don`t want to get the spotlight and stop being a puppet next to Rachel?"

"she`s my friend" Tina said feeling insecure. "I can`t do this to her"

"but it`s not fair that you should shine as well?" Kitty continued. "I`m the answer to your prayers, dear Tina Cohen-Chang"

"Wait a minute, how do you know my name?" Tina inquired.

"I have my sources" Kitty responded. "And I`m just someone who can help you. Why do you need a loser like Rachel as a friend, having all the world`s popularity, cool friends and that Asian hottie that`s on the football team to be yours?"

"Mike is already my boyfriend" Tina pointed. "But he doesn`t care that I`m not a cheerio"

"Trust me, he`ll go crazy about you when he sees you in that cheerleader uniform" Kitty said. "I`m about to make your wish come true. Now tell me, where does Rachel Berry live?

"In a house that is near the dock" Tina explained. "her cousin Quinn Fabray is living with her for now while her dads travel around the world for business…her house has a swimming pool…I think that`s where she and Finn met"

"Thanks, Tina" Kitty responded by snapping her fingers and turning the tiny Asian girl into a pretty cheerio. "Now you`re a hot cheerleader and I`ve got everything I need" she turned on her heels and walked away in the middle of the street leaving Tina alone dressed as a cheerleader and smiling. "well, I got rid of that silly girl" Kitty said aloud as she headed to Rachel`s house. "And now…to get my future husband back"

Once she made it to Rachel`s house; Kitty saw there was no one and continued exploring it until she went upstairs and reached Rachel`s bedroom. She noticed that there was a glass of salt water on the bedside table. "it`s probably for Finn since that dwarf has no tail" she whispered and then took the small bottle from her bag, removed the contents and poured a few drops in it, which caused the liquid to turn pink before recovering its original state.

"what are you doing in Rachel`s bedroom?" Lizzie said entering her friend`s room and turned her gaze to the glass of salt water. "and that`s for Finn, what were you doing with that drink?"

"that`s none of your business, Tinker Bell" Kitty said turning to look at Lizzie; who rolled her eyes at the nickname she had just received. "So I suggest you don`t mess with me"

"I`m Rachel's conscience, so this is my business as well" Lizzie replied.

"Ooh scary" Kitty mocked. "Elphaba received Glinda "The good witch" as her counselor instead a pathetic cricket" before her face turned cold. "You can`t do anything about it. I`ll get Finn as your poor protégé ends heartbroken and pregnant. Finn and I will live happily married in the beautiful underwater world of Coventry and then Morgana will have great sidekicks who will help her to rule the ocean: Marissa and Melody"

"Wow, you`re really a despicable witch" Lizzie said angrily.

"Oh thank you" Kitty said with a smile. "But at last I will get what I want, a trophy husband and I`ll become a princess…"

"How? By putting Finn under a spell to seduce him, leave Rachel without a soulmate and her child without a father and the worst…allying with the sea witch for your own stupid selfish purposes?!" Lizzie argued. "I never thought that someone like you could fall so low and do something vile and cruel to Rachel"

"and that`s not all, dear Elizabeth" Kitty continued. "I got some help…I bribed one of Rachel`s friend…Tina. To tell me where she leaves and well…here I am"

"Did you make Tina betray her own friend?!" Lizzie shouted as Kitty smiled. "that`s enough. This was the last straw; please get out and don`t come back. I`ll tell Rachel everything you did to her and sooner or later, queen Carole will see the monster of daughter-in law you are. Get out!" Lizzie`s eyes filled with tears. "GO! YOU ARE A MONSTER, KITTY! GET OUT!" she tearfully screamed at Kitty; who simply turned around and walked away from the room, closing the door behind her. Lizzie left Rachel`s room, fell in the sofa starting to sob at feeling powerless and unable to stop Kitty.

Minutes later, Finn entered Rachel`s house with her sleeping in his arms and noticed that Lizzie was sitting on the couch crying softly as she wiped away her tears.

"Finn…hi" Lizzie said wiping her tears. "I`m fine, I just…is everything okay with Rachel?"

"yeah, she`s asleep" Finn replied. "I`m taking her to her room so she can rest" Lizzie flinched as big tears streamed down her face. "Hey…Lizzie, are you okay? You`re leaking salty water. You are not melting, right?"

"I was crying" Lizzie explained sniffing and wiping her tears. "And the salty water you see rolling down my cheeks are tears"

"I guess we don`t notice it living under water" Finn replied and then looked at the petite pretty blonde with empathy. "Are you sad?"

"Yes, I`m sad" Lizzie tearfully confessed. "I`m scared something bad will happen to Rachel and you…I…I have to protect her and I feel so frustrated and mad that I can`t do anything about it"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa…" Finn responded quietly by trying to not wake Rachel. "What are you talking about? What are you trying to protect me and my girlfriend, Lizzie?"

"Kitty was here, Finn" Lizzie started to explain, but Finn shook his head.

"that`s impossible" Finn protested. "Kitty doesn`t know where Rachel lives, and where`s everybody?"

"Finn, listen to me…" Lizzie stammered.

"First tell me where Quinn and my sister went" Finn interrupted.

"Quinn went to her date with her boyfriend Noah Puckerman or as she calls him "Puck", I don`t think she`ll be back until the next day, and Marley went swimming in the bay…" Lizzie replied nervously. "Finn, I need to tell you something"

"Not now, Lizzie" Finn said abruptly and made Lizzie startle. "it`s been a long day and the only thing my baby`s mom need is sleep, so…" he headed for the stairs but Lizzie immediately rain to stop him. "This is not funny anymore. What the hell is your problem?"

"You can`t go there!" Lizzie screamed and to her surprise Rachel was so deeply asleep that she didn`t realized what was happening. "Don`t you get it? Kitty set you up. It`s a trap!"

"Lizzie…enough!" Finn argued upset. "End of discussion; I`ll take my girlfriend to her room so she can sleep"

"Finn, please" Lizzie begged. "Kitty bribed one of Rachel`s friends to tell her where she lived…listen to me!"

Finn rolled his eyes and ignores the warning of his girlfriend`s conscience; he went upstairs with Rachel in his arms, entered her bedroom and laid her carefully on her bed before kissing her lips sweetly. Then he watched the glass of water on the night stand and took it without knowing that it was altered with the love potion and despite the desperate attempts of Lizzie to stop him.

"Finn…please don`t do it" Lizzie pleaded when she reached the room. "The salty water is poisoned"

"Stop it!" Finn shouted and then turned to see if Rachel had woken up; which she didn`t. "I`m thirsty, okay?"

"No!" Lizzie screamed, but the boy took the glass to his lips and began to drink the water calmly until he swallowed the liquid; immediately, the effects of the potion began to take effect. "what`s happening to me?" Finn whispered, rubbing his temples and closing his eyes tightly. "I feel strange" he looked at Lizzie, walked over to her and handed her the empty glass. "I`m sorry I have to go"

Marley, along with Story and Wendy was heading to Rachel`s house to protect her from Kitty when she suddenly became catatonic and saw clearly images that caused her headache.

"Finn, please don`t do it" Lizzie begged in tears. "it`s a trap!"

"Lizzie, that`s enough!" Finn demanded. "You`re hallucinating things. I need salt" he started drinking salt water with the love potion ignoring the girl`s pleas and immediately began to feel effects of the potion.

The next scene that Marley observed was much more disturbing one than the first.

"There you are" Finn replied walking towards Kitty and showing her his half-smile. "I`ve been looking for you everywhere"

"Oh really?" Kitty said innocently. "Because I was just looking for you" Finn said nothing; just leaned over and captured her lips with his. "Mmm" Kitty purred against his lips. "You`re such a great kisser"

"My lips were made to kiss you, my future wife" Finn replied lovingly. "I can`t wait to marry you"

"But…what about Rachel?" Kitty asked. "Don`t you love her?"

"Rachel?" Finn chuckled. "I have no idea what you`re talking about, baby. You are the love of my life; I`m in love with you, Kitty. You`re so beautiful that it`s almost hard to believe; your blond hair is like the sunshine" he pulled out from his pocket, a beautiful gold ring with a large diamond and a pearl. "I found this the other day when I was swimming near the reef and I thought of you"

"it`s beautiful" Kitty replied getting emotional.

"Then…Katherine Wilde…I plan to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you unconditionally and I will do it forever…would you make me the happiest merman of the seven seas by becoming my wife and princess of Coventry"

"Finn…" Kitty said smiling and nodding. "yes, of course I do" Finn put the ring on Kity`s finger as she looked at her engagement ring with pride. "it`s perfect"

"You look perfect, my love" Finn replied stroking her long blond hair. "let`s go. We have to plan our wedding"

"We have all the time for that, hot stuff. For now, I just want to make love to my fiancé" Kitty said seductively as she undressed and stared at him.

"You are so beautiful" Finn replied feeling hypnotized under the spell and immediately took off his clothes.

Once Finn and Kitty were completely naked, they lay on the sand kissing passionately as they began to make love. Going back to the present, Marley fell to the floor and her face reflected disgust.

"Marley?" Story asked. "You look pale, what happened?"

"I`ve just had the most horrific and bizarre vision I`ve ever seen in my whole life as a mermaid" Marley confessed shivering in disgust. "It makes me hurl that my brother and that awful Kitty could have…"

"Wait…but how was it possible?" Wendy protested. "Mermaids and mermen can`t get involved passionately. We have tail"

"Unless we go to the mainland and…." Story said understanding everything. "Oh my God…how did Finn and Kitty have sex?"

"he drank the love potion that was in his glass of water and despite Rachel`s conscience, Lizzie; who is a girl and not a cricket, warned him it was a trap, my brother didn`t listen to her and now he and Kitty are doing something disgusting" Marley said horrified. "I feel sick"

"this is awful; we have to warn Rachel before it`s too late" Wendy said as Marley and Story headed for the house.

The next morning, Rachel woke up and saw that she was in her room but saw no sign of her boyfriend, so she got up from her bed and headed downstairs where she found Marley talking with two girls she had never seen: both beautiful, one was blonde and the other one had brown hair like Marley.

"hey…what`s going on here?" Rachel asked. "Marley, who are they? Um…does any of you where is Finn?"

"Hi, Rachel" Story introduced herself. "I`m story and this is Wendy" she pointed to the pretty blonde. "we are mermaids and we`re Marley`s friends. We come to protect you"

"I really appreciate it, Story. And it`s so nice to meet you and Wendy" Rachel said, heading to the door. "But I need to find Finn"

"Don`t!" Wendy, Story and Marley protested at unison.

"it`s okay" Rachel said sweetly. "my baby girl wants to say hello to her father and I want to see my boyfriend" she added rubbing her small baby bump. "I`ll see you later, okay?"

"let`s follow her" Wendy indicated the other mermaids as they walked behind the tiny brunette.

"Rachel, don`t go in there" Story called as Rachel was heading towards the beach. "go back!" but anyways, the girl continued walking. "Go back!"

Rachel was walking towards the beach when she heard strange noises like moans and groans.

"Oh God" Story said fearfully when she found out that Rachel was about to discover the worst thing in the planet.

"Ohh! Yes! Ooohhh, Finn!" Kitty moaned in ecstasy.

"Kitty?" Rachel asked as she heard the blonde and then heard….

"Kitty! Oh, Kitty! I love you!" a familiar voice groaned as Kitty moaned.

"Ohh! Ohh! Oooh, Finn! Ohh, yes!" Kitty arched her back in pleasure and then…the tiny brunette discovered it.

NO!" Rachel sobbed as she discovered Finn and Kitty totally naked and having sex; she immediately turned around and ran away from there in tears. "No!"

"Oh no" Wendy said sadly.

Rachel continued running in tears towards the mermaids and collapsed in Marley`s chest.

"Rachel?" Marley asked as Rachel sobbed hysterically and big tears streamed down her beautiful face.

"He cheated on me" Rachel sobbed. "Finn cheated on me!"

"Oh my God…" Marley exclaimed as she hugged Rachel and comforted her as Rachel continued crying.

The most horrifying thing had just happened to Rachel and all because of a love potion.
