Chapter Six
The door to the Sertori home opened and in came Belle rose.
"Hello father it's been 13 years since i have seen you. How is everyone?" Belle rose spoke with the spiritual but mature tone.
Her dad and the guys just replied with fine. She stepped into the living room and told them how it was going to go down.
"Was that clear? Or do i need to say it again?" Belle rose asked.
"No it's fine dear we got it right?" Done asked his brothers as he was trying to reassure himself.
His brothers hust nodded as confirmation. They made sure that they knew what they were going to say at dinner.
Belle rose had told them that their daughters would be arriving at dinner so they could inroduce them as their daughter and as the oldest child.
Mr.Gilbert and Mr. Hartley were both having second thoughts about telling their kids the truth. What would their wife think of all of this?
"Terry would like to have dinner here tonight? Maybe there's a way we can tell them both." Don daid with a soft tone.
"That would be great thanks Don. I actually gave nothing to come back to there's only me and Rikki . Neil has a wife and son and Brian has his wife and you have Sam." Terry spoke what he thought was true.
"Not anymore." Don said looking down at the floor with teary eyes. Terry's eyes widened and felt his older brothers pain.
"What happened? Does Cleo know?" Terry asked him.
" I told her the truth, that's what and she said she needed some space so she took the job offer she got from America. Just last week i got these." He gave Terry the long browm envelope.
Terry opened it then opened his arms for his brother to be comforted by.
At the moon pool.
The girls were now at the moonpool.
"That was fun." Cleo and Bella spoke.
"I can't believe we stayed underwater for almost three hours." Emma said head popping out of the water.
"It's almost dark out we should head back." Rikki said. The girls nodded in agreement. Once on land they parted ways.
When thay arroved home their dad told them that the they will be having dinner as a family.
Terry had told Rikki that Don invited them for dinner, so they headed out towards the Sertori house.
There was a knock on the door.
Cleo opened the door to fond that Rikki and her dad just arrived.
"Dad Rikki and Mr. Chadwick are here." Cleo told her dad.
"Dad's just getting dinner ready, he wanted to make it himself today." Cleo told Rikki.
"I'm going to help him." He kissed Rikki on the forehead.
"Do you think Emma and Bella are going through the same thing? The whole family meal thing? although me and my dad was invited to your dinner." Cleo just replied with a shrug. They started watching tv while their dad's cooked.
Emma's house.
"The reason why i asked for this dinner was because i have something to say." Mr. Gilbert told his family.
"Your not divorcing mum are you?" Elliot asked hoping he was wrong. Lisa Gilbert , however looked at her husband worriedly making sure that her son was wrong.
"No of course not." Neil replied. His wife relaxed. He was now wondering she would react when he tells her the truth he's been hiding for the past 20 years.
"Then what is it dad?" Emma asked.
"Now i know you maybe mad at me about this but it's the truth." Neil said feeling nervous.
Emma could tell he was nervous. Elliot wasn't really sure what was going on.
"Spit it out already Neil." His wife told him.
"Ok. Emma. I know your a mermaid. I knew since you were born."
"Neil stop it this isn't funny at all." His wife said interrupting him Emma just looked at him speechless, even Elliot didn't know what to say.
" Emma you don't have to listen to this garba-." But she was interrupted by Emma herself.
"Go on dad explain more." She finally spoke.
"You might wondering if your friends are going through the same thing as you right now, well that's because they are. We asked our healer to put a spell on you girls making sure you wouldn't become mermaids, but what we didn't know was that would be broken by the full moon. I am actually from Mako Island our parents separated us into the sea and we each would rule apart of the ocean. My parents were King Triton and Queen Athena Our older sister was married off to a human she was in love with. Me and my brothers ruled the kingdoms until we found true love, we did that was when we all had our first born, but their mothers died at birth. That same year i met your mother and fell on love with her, then we had you, a few years later we realised we could not go back since we fell in love with a human so i put my 7 year old daughtercon the throne, she would be 20 by now." That was all he said for now wanting to hear what they think.
"Is there more to the story?" Emma asked, her dad nodded.
"So what's the rest of the story?" Before Neil could answer Elliot had asked if he was one as well, sadly he is not. This only happens the first born child of a human and a mer.
Then the doorbell rang. Neil asked Elliot to get that. In came in Ravina.
"Ravina." Emma said.
"What are you doing here?"She asked trying not to sound rude.
"Emma. Ravina is your sister." Neil blurted out. Ravina giggled a little knowing her father didn't mean to spit it out like that. Emma just stared at Ravina. Ravina...Ravina?...RAVINA!!! All of a sudden Emma remembered.
"Your the girl from my dream." Emma said out loud That sounded better in my head she thought to herself.
"Your getting your memories back." Neil said.
"You have met her from time to time, but stopped because i couldn't always take you to her in the ocean." He said to Emma.
Emma was processing everything? she, Cleo and Rikki did once asked themselves 'why us?'
oh no Cleo, Rikki and Bella. "What about Cleo, Rikki and Bella?" Emma questioned her dad and Ravina.
Her dad spoke first saying yes they were and still is involved with all of this, that is when Ravina tells the rest of the story.
"Our dad, Mr.Hartley, Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Sertori are the brothers Mr. Sertori was the oldest out of the boys and the most powerful, he was to replace Grandpa Triton as the King of Mako once he died which he did 20 years ago. Mr. Chadwick was King of Triton's reef. Our dad was the King of the Trident's Cave and Mr Hartley was the king of the Mangrove Forest."
"Wow so that basically means we are royalty." Emma said with a imaginable look.
Bella, Rikki and Cleo are just about to get thsame experience as Emma just have.
