Chapter Ten Creating a new home
Lewis POV
I'm so happy, I finally have a place I can call home, I have the love of my life as my fiancé, and me and my friends are building kingdoms.
After building everything, we headed to the Atlantic Ocean where everyone was.
"So, my new kings and queens, what do we name our new home?" One of the mer citizens said. We all just looked towards Rose waiting for her to say something.
"How about Atlantia?" Rose said. I love it.
"All hail our new home Atlantia!" Someone in the crowd said, and then people started chanting Atlantia.
A few months after everyone had moved into their new homes, and we were all finally married, on our heads were our crowns. Ash and Emma were both wearing a silver crown with a snowflake symbol. Rikki and Zane were wearing a gold crown with a sun symbol. Bella and Will were both wearing crowns that were molded by green leaves and ivy. Me and Cleo both wear a silver crown with the cloud as our symbol. Rose and Nate wear a silver crown with three lines representing the three oceans, mers in a circle and a couple of sea creatures.
"Well, looks like we have a future ahead of us to plan" Emma said.
"Or we can just relax." Ash suggested.
"As fun as that may be, we do need a plan to stay hidden." Rose said.
"I should probably tell you, I'm pregnant." Emma said.
Rose POV
The year is now 2044. It was hard being pregnant in the ocean; I mean how does a mermaid give birth? Well, we eventually found out. Emma had given birth to her baby boy, back in 2019 on March 23rd. But he was born with legs, so I took her back on land and called up a friend who was training to be a doctor. He knows about my secret. He was able to pull some strings and found a home.
Then back in 2021 Rikki gave birth to a baby girl on August 16th, who she also had to give up. On May 21st 2022 Bella gave birth to a girl, who also had been adopted. On September 19th the same year I gave birth to twins, both babies being a boy, then five days after Cleo gave birth to a boy, we both had to give them up, since when we gave birth there was no tail.
Then in 2027 Emily gave birth to her second son on May 5th and I gave birth to my first daughter on November 19th, again we had to give them up since they were not born with legs, Noah said he would find a great home for our kids. Then in 2028 Cleo gave birth to her first daughter, her second child on February 7th and Rikki also gave birth to her second child, who is a boy on November 22nd.
Then 2029 came round, me and the girls got pregnant again, apart from Cleo. On March 7th Bella gave birth to a baby girl, but gave her up. On April 11th Emma gave birth to a baby girl, who she had to give up as well. Then on June 6th Rikki gave birth to a girl who again had to be adopted because she was born with legs. Then on October 8th I gave birth to a baby girl, she was born with legs like the others, so I gave her to Noah to give to a family. Then finally in 2030 Cleo gave birth one last time to a baby boy. Again the boy had to be adopted, it was hard for all of us to give them up, but if we could keep them, we would've, but the ocean was just too dangerous for them. We may go on land from time to time, but can never live on land, as we now have duties as kings and queens, but we would never forget them.
At the moment we are on land at a nearby café. Noah told us to meet him there.
"So you guys think this is a good idea?" Emma said.
'Why wouldn't it be?" Ash said.
"At least we get to know where our kids are." Rikki said.
"To know if they are doing well." Zane said.
"Who knows? Maybe we can go see them without them knowing." Nate said.
"That's nice." Bella and Will said.
"What's nice?" Noah asks taking his seat.
"To see them." Cleo said.
"So we know what they look like." Lewis said.
"Well I am happy to tell you that they are safe, and I haven't seen any signs that would suggest them having tails." Noah said.
"Great. So where are they?" I asked.
"Pennsylvania, in a small town named Rosewood." Noah said.
