Hi, guys! First of all; let me tell you that I´m really happy. I can´t believe that I got 102 reviews on my main story, thank you so much for all your support and good wishes; for you it´s the reason I keep writing. Right now I will focus on the sixth chap of "Wonders of the sea" and then the second chapter of "Endless love"; as I said on my third story; just because I started writing about Harry and Ginny doesn´t mean I´m forgetting about Finchel.
Right now we´ll start a new chapter and this is the continuation of the fifth chapter; what will happen with Kitty, Finchel and the rest of the characters? Find out!

Two weeks had passed since Finn and Rachel had consummated their love, and when they were not swimming, learning about the underwater world or surrounded by friends and family, they spent most of the time in Rachel´s bedroom loving each other until the wee hours of the morning. And that afternoon was not the exception. Finn and Rachel were lying naked and tangled on the sheets as they tried to catch their breath after a passionate love making. Suddenly; Rachel felt a sharp pain in the stomach and a strange sensation in the throat; so she put her bathrobe on and ran to the bathroom, once she managed to lean over the toilet; she vomited everything her empty stomach lacked.
"Rachel, are you okay?" Finn asked as he put on his boxers and a shirt and ran to Rachel; he kneeled beside her, held her hair and rubbed her back in circles.
"Please go" Rachel moaned before throwing up. "I don´t know what´s wrong with me. I don´t want you to see me like this; please go" she continued coughing.
"I´m not going anywhere; even if it means I have to clean your vomit" Finn tried to joke with his girlfriend but she simply continued leaned on the toilet. "I don´t get it; are you sick or something?"
"It may be something I´ve eaten" Rachel responded flushing the toilet and putting down the lid of the toilet; next she gets up and brushes her teeth. "Can we…continue what we were doing?" she then asked as she started to untie her bathrobe but Finn stopped her. "What?"
"I don´t think it´s a good idea of us having sex right now" Finn said sadly. "You need to rest and I will stay with you until you feel better" he then kisses her on the forehead.
"You don´t want me?" Rachel asks and then she starts to cry.
"No! Of course I want you, love" Finn said lovingly as Rachel continued crying. "I want you so bad"
"Then why you don´t want us to make love?" Rachel asks tearfully. "I´m ugly, don´t you? You rather beautiful girls like that mermaid Kitty"
"No! Rachel, I love you so much" Finn responded. "But you are sick, baby. You need to rest; I don´t know what´s wrong with you and that freaks me out. We were making love and then…you go and throw up and then…you start crying out of nowhere. It´s that a disease?"
"I don´t know" Rachel said wiping her tears. "Finn, can you please go? I need to be alone, please"
"Oh…okay" Finn said sadly. "I thought you wanted me to be with you"
"Not right now" Rachel responded. "Please"
"Fine" he then leaned and kisses her lips softly. "I will visit Melody then; I hope you get better" Finn turned on his heels and left Rachel´s room without saying anything; but at the same time he was hurt, and it was not the first time it happened.
Rachel in tears run down the stairs and she found her cousin baking some muffins but Quinn after knowing that Rachel and Finn were sexually actives; she had earphones to avoid the passion noises that came from Rachel´s bedroom.
"Hi, Rachie" Quinn said with a smile. "Are you hungry? I baked some strawberry muffins"
"Quinn…" Rachel said as she continued crying. The blonde immediately ran towards the brunette and hugs her tightly.
"Rachel, why are you crying?" Quinn asks as they break the hug.
"I need your help" Rachel responds sobbing hysterically.
"Why? What´s wrong?" Quinn asks as she stares at her cousin with concern. "Rachel, you´re freaking me out. Please tell me what´s going on?"
"I think I´m pregnant" Rachel finally said as she collapses on her cousin´s chest.
"Oh my God…" Quinn whispers in shock. "Does Finn know?" Rachel doesn´t respond and she simply sobs. "Shh, it´s okay" she holds her tightly as she rubs her back in comfort. "It´s okay; everything is gonna be okay"
On the other hand; Morgana was staring at her crystal ball; and she could see that Finn had tears in his eyes and big smile on his handsome face as he lovingly kisses Rachel´s belly.
"Enjoy it while you can, Finnegan" Morgana said spiteful as she continued watching her crystal ball. "because that bundle of joy that your beloved Rachel is expecting, will be mine soon and she will help me to rule the seven seas!" then, she released such a sinister and macabre laugh than the marine animals swam to find a hiding.
And on the other hand; Marley could see the future and she had a vision where she saw how Rachel was holding a beautiful newborn baby girl while Finn embraced them both and looked at his daughter with devotion and love; after the flash-forward; Marley gasped and touched her chest, but at this time, Finn was inside of the water and got his tail back.
"Marley…what´s wrong?" Finn asked when suddenly his sister was in a catatonic state. "Marley?"
"I´ll be Aunt" the young lady simply responded as she looks at Finn. "I´ll have a beautiful niece"
"Aunt?" Finn asks as he looks at her. "What are you talking about?"
"You and Rachel are expecting a child, Finn" Marley said. "I saw it. She was holding a beautiful baby girl as you looked at the baby tenderly"
"But…that´s impossible" Finn replied hesitantly. "Rach…Rachel can´t be pregnant. I…She´s human and I…I´m half fish…"
"You´ve spent most of the nights in her room in your human form" Marley explained. "Babies are usually created by a moonbeam and a majestic wave when it comes to us. But…when you´re with a human and at that time you don´t have your tail….a baby is created. And one of the nights when you and Rachel made love…was the reason why the baby girl was conceived in the first place"
"Oh my God…" Finn said shocked. "Mine?"
"Rachel hasn´t been with anyone else" Marley told her brother. "Please don´t be mad at her. It wasn´t her fault"
"Oh my God…oh my God…Oh my God…" Finn responded shocked. "I…I have to go with her"
"Now it´s not a good time" Marley sighed grabbing her brother´s arm. "She´s upset"
"But it´s my baby too" Finn protested. "I want to be with Rachel and be there for my baby. You can´t forbid me that, Marley" he swam to the surface with his tail splashing water. "I am his or her father"
"Well…it´s your decision" Marley said disappearing under the water.
On the other hand; Rachel had returned with Quinn with the doctor and she was really scared as her cousin tried to calm her but without success.
"Rachel, it´s gonna be okay" Quinn said as she rubbed her cousin´s arm. "You have to tell Finn"
"I can´t" Rachel said between sobs. "He´s going to hate me"
"You can´t know that, Rach" Quinn said softly. "If you knew how he looks at you all the time. For me it´s true love and…I´m sure he will love that baby as much as he loves you" Rachel shakes her head as big tears stream down her face.
"What´s wrong?" Lizzie asked as she and Sarah entered the living room.
"It´s Rachel" Quinn responded as Lizzie and Sarah look at Quinn confused.
"What do you mean? Is something wrong with her?" Sarah asked.
"Rachel is having a baby" Quinn simply responded.
"Oh my God…" Lizzie muttered.
"Is she…?" Sarah inquired.
"Pregnant?" both girls asked at unison as Quinn nodded.
"But how…wait I know how it happened" Sarah said and then look at Rachel. "Why Rachel? You weren´t careful?"
"I…I don´t know" Rachel said tearfully. "I don´t know if I can raise a baby. I don´t want to be another Quinn Fabray who got pregnant in high school"
"Hey…" Quinn protested.
"I´m sorry" Rachel apologized before looking at Sarah and Lizzie. "I´m freaking out and I don´t know what to do. I don´t even know if Finn wants to deal with a baby in the first place to be honest"
"Don´t worry…everything will be okay" Lizzie reassured her. "You don´t have to tell Finn if you don´t want but…sooner or later he deserves to know"
"Yeah, after all he is the father of the baby" Sarah agreed. "You can´t hide the secret forever"
"I´m sorry…he can´t know" Rachel said. "I…I have to go"
"What you don´t want me to know?" Finn asked as he entered the house fully clothed.
"No! No! No!" Rachel shouted sobbing as she ran away from them.
"I don´t get it…" Finn asked confused. "What did I do?"
"It´s not your fault, Finn" Lizzie replied. "Rachel is going through a moment of a nervous breakdown"
"It was something I did?" the handsome merman asked innocently.
"Partly yes" Sarah muttered as Lizzie and Quinn immediately turned to see her with a glance.
"Look, Finn…Rachel needs to be alone, okay?" Quinn finally answered.
"Marley also told me the same" Finn said rolling his eyes. "Why my sister and then you forbid me to be with Rachel?"
"You wouldn´t understand" Quinn simply replied. "She´s just upset"
"There´s something fishy here that you don´t want to tell me" Finn replied coldly. "And I will find out what it is" he turned on his heels and left the house before the astonished look of the three girls. At that time, Marley was entering the house just when Finn was searching for Rachel; the girl bit her lip constantly because of the nerves.
"Marley...are you okay?" Quinn inquired as she stared at her.
"Finn knows about the baby" Marley said softly.
"Wait...what?" Sarah asked. "How did he know?"
"Actually I had a vision about a little girl" Marley began to explain. "She´s not an ordinary girl...she has incredibly powers that manipulate both the land and the ocean. In theory, she is half human half mermaid and that´s what makes her powerful...when Finn went to talk to me...he discovered that I had a vision and that was how he knew about his child"
"And we didn´t tell Finn the real reason" Lizzie lamented.
"You guys did the right thing" Marley said. "You were trying to protect Rachel"
"Yes, but now your brother hates us because he thinks that we wanted to hid the truth on purpose" Sarah sighed. "That´s not easy to forget"
"It will be worth it" Marley assures them. "Sooner or later Finn will find out that he is expecting a child"
"What I don´t understand is...you said that a hybrid is powerful on land and at sea" Quinn said smoothing her long blond hair. "I want to know if that makes them dangerous"
"Yes and no" Marley said. "no because they are pure of heart and they have no intention to hurt anyone...and yes because Morgana wants to take advantage of their powers and wants to enslave them so she can rule the ocean and destroy mermaids and mermen for good. Even the magic of a hybrid can be used to make more powerful a trident. The trident was created by a merman long time ago to have power over everything. Even if was able to destroy mermaids in the process"
"And that´s not the worst of it...I have a feeling that Kitty has to do with it and...She does just to steal Finn´s heart"
"This is awful" Lizzie said sadly. "we have to do something"
"For now we have to protect Finn, Rachel and the unborn baby" Marley commented as the three blondes nodded.
On the other hand, Rachel continued to run scared as if an invisible being was chasing her. big tears streamed down her cheeks, not realizing she had accidentally collided with a pretty young girl, with freckles, white skin, brown hair and blues eyes like the ocean.
"Be careful, Miss" she responded softly as she took Rachel´s arm. "I don´t want you to get hurt"
"I´m sorry..." Rachel apologized sniffing as she wiped her tears. "I...I didn´t look where I was going..." she looked around and discovered that she was no longer outside...actually, she was inside a cave. "where am I? who are you?"
"It´s okay, you are safe" the girl replied sweetly. "You´re in the den of my mentor Jenny...I´m Matilda and I´m half human half mermaid...I know you are pregnant with a baby girl who is like me since I could see it in my vision. Jenny is my guardian after a shark killed my family...she is a mermaid"
"Oh I´m so sorry" Rachel felt bad for the nice and pretty young lady. "I guess you miss your parents so much"
"Sometimes I do" Matilda responded. "But I remember that once...my mom told me to look at the moon every night and that she would always be with me"
"My mom left me when I was a little girl and...I was raised by two dads but...they work all the time and I barely see them"
"Now it´s my turn to say sorry" Matilda pointed.
"It´s okay...I´m getting used to" Rachel sighed as she rubbed her stomach in circles. "I don´t know what to do"
"About the baby?" Matilda asked as Rachel turned to look at the young girl in confusion. "I can read minds…it works in land and the ocean"
"Oh...that´s great" Rachel said as the young girl smiled.
"The baby that you have inside of you is so special and getting rid of it would be a huge mistake" Matilda said. "So I wouldn´t do it if I were you"
"Matilda...?" a sweet and female voice called as she swam towards the cave. It was a beautiful redhead mermaid. "You´re talking to someone? You know perfectly well that is a risk bringing strangers to the den"
"Hi, Jenny" Matilda greeted sheepishly as the mermaid stared at her. "She´s not a threat...I swear"
"How do you know you can trust her?" Jenny raised an eyebrow as her tail and fin were resting on the sea rock. "She is a human...which means, she is not like us"
"I´m half human, remember?" Matilda reminded her. "And my mother was human before becoming a mermaid to marry my father"
"Jenny..." Rachel started saying, making the mermaid to look up and staring at her. "Don´t blame Matilda, okay? I...I´m not going to hurt you...I...now I have a situation and I hoped that Matilda would help me"
"Why do you think she can help you? She´s still young" Jenny responded coldly. "And human like you can´t be trusted"
"Look...I know you don´t like me very much but..." Rachel continued. "I´m pregnant...and the baby I have inside of me is just like Matilda"
"A hybrid?" Jenny asked as Rachel and Matilda nodded. "oh my God..." the mermaid gasped."You put both worlds in danger...do you have any idea what have you´ve done? Getting involved with a merman..."
"It wasn´t her fault" Matilda protested standing in front of Rachel as a shield. "The merman found Rachel when he ran away from an arranged married and both fell in love. Please don´t be so mean with her...try to understand and don´t judge" Jenny said nothing and simply nodded.
"Well…in that case we need to protect your baby" Jenny responded swimming towards Rachel and putting her hand on her stomach. "She´s so special and if Morgana finds out about it…it could be so late"
"Thank you for understanding" Rachel simply said as Jenny gave her a little smile and shook her hand with hers.
"It doesn´t change anything" Jenny said after they shook hands. "It will take time before I can trust you"
"I understand" Rachel responded staring at the mermaid. "But I want to know…why you don´t trust us…which was what we did to you so you ended with a broken heart"
"I fell in love with a human boy…his name was Andrew" Jenny started her story. "he discovered my secret and still we were happy…until his stepfather found out his stepson was dating a mermaid and wanted to take me to a museum to exhibit me as a freak; Andrew tried to stop him and…he stabbed him to death" big tears rolled down her cheeks. "Andrew was bleeding terribly and died in my arms…and all for trying to save me" Jenny couldn´t continue as she started to sob.
"I´m so sorry for your loss" Rachel replied sadly as Matilda left the cave to leave Rachel and Jenny to talk alone so she could comfort the girl. "But holding a grudge in your heart for the murdered of the love of your life will only bring more sorrow. And not all humans are like him…Andrew wouldn´t liked you to continue sad, and…I´m sure that now he is history"
"Actually…Andrew´s mom found out and divorced him…he is now in jail…for 40 years" Jenny responded sniffing as she wiped her tears. "Thank you for listening"
"Thank you for telling me" Rachel responded as she took Jenny´s hand in comfort.
Meanwhile, Finn was still looking for his beloved human girl when he found himself face to face with Matilda; who stared at him with curiosity.
"Oh…hey, kid" Finn replied politely. "I´m looking for my girlfriend…do you know where I can find her?"
"You must be the merman, right?" Matilda responded with curiosity as she crosses her arms. "The merman who left the ocean to be with Rachel"
"Yeah, that´s me. I´m Finn" Finn said as he shook hands with the girl and then raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Wait…how did you know all that?"
"I think the fact of being half human half mermaid can answer your questions. Plus; I also met Rachel" Matilda replied. "As you are a merman, I don´t think Jenny has a problem that you came inside of the den...she is a south mermaid"
"Thanks but...I still have no idea of who you are" Finn said politely but at the same time with confusion in his voice. "I mean...you´re a really nice kid and...your eyes are like the ocean. is just...I hadn´t seen you before...there´s someone else like you? a hybrid?"
"Some of my species were destroyed by the sea witch when they opposed to join the dark side and rule the seven seas" Matilda explained. "But there´s two girls like me...Ariel´s daughter and your unborn child"
"Whoa, whoa..." Finn raised his hand in confusion. "Do you know Melody? She is my niece"
"I know who is Melody, you know?" Matilda answered without hesitation. "She is the granddaughter of king Triton; now...do you want to see Rachel or not?"
"I try...but every time I get close to her...I don´t know...she just run away and doesn´t give me time to talk to her" Finn said sadly. "I love her and...now that she has my baby inside of her...I love them both"
"I´m sure that if you tell her what you feel, she will understand you" Matilda said extending her hand. "Come with me"
"You will tell me who you are if I come with you?" Finn wanted to know as he took the young girl´s hand.
"I promise" Matilda said sweetly as both entered the den. "I´m Matilda, by the way"
"Matilda is beautiful name" Finn replied with a half-smile.
"Thank you" Matilda responded as they walked inside of the den. "Jenny..." she turned to the mermaid, who was now calmed and was talking with Rachel."we have company"
"Jenny?" Finn asked.
"Finn?" Jenny asked.
"Rachel?" Finn asked as he looked at his girlfriend.
"Finn..." Rachel whispered softly.
"Do all of you meet each other?" Matilda asked confused.
"Jenny was my teacher at school for mermaids and mermen in Coventry when I was a kid" Finn said. "But now I´m surprised that she left the pod to live in a secret den"
"I did for love" Jenny responded. "it´s forbidden that mermaids and human fall in love so...I just left to make a new life and it turned worse because my soulmate was murdered in the process for protecting my secret"
"That´s why she doesn´t trust humans" Rachel said sadly.
"You said it, Rachel...not all humans are the same; you are different" Jenny replied softly before turning to her former student. "Finn...the queen knows that you and your sister ran away from home?"
"I don´t love Kitty and that´s what my mom doesn´t understand" Finn replied in frustration. "I want to marry for love. And regarding Marley...she followed me"
"the important is that you are safe" Jenny replied. "and I see you found the human girl" Rachel started to shake in nerves but the mermaid nodded the girl in encouragement that everything was fine and she shouldn´t be afraid.
"Oh my God, Rachel..." Finn said running towards her and taking her in his arms. "are you okay? I thought something bad had happened to you...is the baby okay?" the tiny brunette said nothing and just looked at her boyfriend with fear. "love, talk to me"
"I´m fine" Rachel replied before looking at Jenny and Matilda. "I need a moment...excuse me..." she turned around and ran out the den in tears.
"Rach, wait..." Finn exclaimed running after her. "I´m not mad at you...please don´t run away from me"
"What are you doing here?" Rachel just said when she stopped raining.
"What am I doing here?" Finn chuckled in confusion and then put his hand on her cheek. "I´m walking across the whole island looking for you. From the start I should´ve known you were in the den of Jenny...please don´t leave me"
"It´s the best for both of us, Finn" Rachel replied tearfully. "You didn´t want to have a child in the first place and...I´m just a human...I´m nothing"
"You are everything to me" Finn said stroking her cheek. "And I know about the baby"
"what?" Rachel asked confused, shaking her head. "I don´t understand"
Finn said nothing; he simply kneels in front of Rachel, kisses her stomach, puts his hand on it and began to sing to her softly.
[Finn]
Havin' my baby

The need inside you
I see it showin'
Whoa, the seed inside ya
Baby, do you feel it growin'
Are you happy you know it
Thatyou're
Havin' my baby
Rachel smiles with tears in her eyes and starts to cry; Finn immediately stops singing as he looks at her with concern.
"What´s wrong, my love?" Finn said wiping her tears. "I didn´t mean to get you upset…I just wanted to show you how much I love you and…having my baby…makes me fall in love more of you every day"
"These are happy tears, silly" Rachel chuckled tearfully before she cried softly. "But at the same time I´m scared…"
"We´ll get through it together, against all odds" Finn said taking her hands in his. "I won´t leave you, Rachel. I´m so happy to be a father…a beautiful little girl that looks like you…makes me the luckiest man in the world and both worlds…the land and sea"
"But I don´t think your mom…" Rachel started to say but Finn put a finger on her lips to silence her.
"Eventually she will find out that she is going to be a grandmother…and she will have a beautiful granddaughter…" Finn said kissing her forehead. "We´re going to be parents of a beautiful baby girl, Rach…" his eyes fill with tears and a smile showed in his handsome face.
"How do you know…we need to go to the doctor to find out about the sex first…" Rachel said but Finn interrupted her again, this time with a kiss.
"I know about the baby" Finn repeated. "Marley had a vision about it and…oh my God, she´s so beautiful. She´s just like you, Rach…and for that reason I will love her forever. I´m so in love with you…both of you are my favorite girls" big tears stream down his face while he spoke to his girlfriend´s tummy. "hi, my baby…this is your daddy…you have no idea how happy I am to know that your mommy and I created you with love…I love you so much and…I promise I will take care of you and I will protect you forever and always" he started peppering kisses on Rachel´s stomach, then he stand up and started to kiss Rachel passionately as he continued crying of happiness. "I love you so much…thank you for making me the happiest man…thank you so much" Rachel said nothing as she sobbed and the couple held each other tightly as they celebrated the new journey that was about to start…parenthood.
Meanwhile, Kitty returned to the den of the sea witch to tell her what happened in the last few days…although Morgana looked increasingly impatient.
"Time is running out, young lady" Morgana replied upset. "I want the child"
"But the months haven´t passed yet…" Kitty protested. "the baby just been conceived by Finn and that human girl Rachel…you said I would bring her to you on her thirteenth birthday…the child hasn´t born yet…you have to give me more time"
"I will give you a month…that if you want to get your fiancé back" Morgana said before swimming towards her cauldron. "Now leave…I have a potion to prepare…"
Kitty stood at a crossroad when she saw that she had no choice…once that she had allied with the sea witch was no turning back…but inside of her at the same time she started to regret for the simple fact that she would hurt an innocent child in the process and the happiness of Finn and Rachel would be shattered by a possessive and jealous mermaid.
