Some people are probably wondering about how Emma told her family about her mermaidness. I thought that I would write a chapter about her doing that. Some people also wanted another Emma POV. This chapter is probably shorter than the others. Here it is and don't forget to review, even if you have complaints. I will take compliments and insults. :D

Chapter 29

Emma's POV

Telling my parents about me being a mermaid

When my parents arrived from vacation, I moved back into our house. vacation, i id

They hugged me and I tried to find a place in our conversations to tell them about me. I thought about how they would react. Elliot would find cool. My mom and dad, I don't know. I'm scared to tell them, but they need to know.

We drove home from the airport. Ash was driving. He claimed that I shouldn't drive yet. I disagreed, but Zane and Rikki took his side.

We arrived at our house and Ash went back to Rikki and Zane's house. We walked inside and we sat on the couch. They asked me what happened to me. I guess this was the time to tell them.

"I will, but first, I have to tell you, well, show you, something else. Elliot can you get a small glass of water for me," I said to my family. Elliot listened and got up and got the glass of water.

"Here, Emma," Elliot said as he handed the water to me.

I'm starting to think that telling them is a bad idea. Will they treat me differently? Will they see me as their daughter or sister anymore?

"What did you want to tell us sweety?" my mom asked me.

"Promise that you won't hate me or freak out," I said.

"Just tell us."

"Okay." I was about to pour the water on me when Elliot stopped me and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I have to show you something. This is the only way." They all looked confused. "Trust me."

I poured the water on my leg. Ten seconds late my tail appeared.

My mom gasped and my dad just stared at my tail. My brother had my favorite reaction.

"That is awesome!" he screamed.

"Shush Elliot," my dad said.

"Please don't hate me," I said.

"What the heck is this Emma? Is this some kind of joke?" my dad asked me.

"It's not a joke. I'm a mermaid."

"That's ridiculous."

"It's true. You can check for zippers or whatever. Truth is, I'm a mermaid. So is Rikki and Cleo. Also Bella, but I just met her."

"How long have you been a mermaid?" my mom asked me.

"You actually believe her?" my dad asked my mom.

"Let her talk," my brother said.

"Since I got stranded on Mako," I said.

"That long?" my mom asked me.

"Yeah. I can also do something else. Elliot, can you refill the glass with water?"

He took the glass and did what I said.

"Put it on the table," I said to him. He did. "Thanks."

"What are you doing Emma?" my dad asked me.

"Just watch the water."

I put my hand up and froze the water. They all gasped and I just started at them. Did I make a mistake telling them?

"This is who I am," I said. "I can't change this and I don't want to. If you can't deal with it then fine. I love being a mermaid and I needed to tell you. I was kidnapped because of this, but saved. I've been through a lot as a mermaid and I'm not ready to give it up. I miss swimming for the swim team, but now I can swim with dolphins and fish. I can explore the deepest part of the ocean. I discover new places every time I swim. I love it. I can't imagine my life any other way."

"We need to talk about this. Can you give us a minute alone?" my dad asked me.

"It's kinda hard for me to move on land when I'm like this," I said.

"Okay." They left the room and I dried off. My tail disappeared and my I was now looking at my legs.

They came back into the room about twenty minutes later.

"Emma, I'm sorry about how I acted. I don't care what you are. None of us do. We love you for who you are. Nothing will ever change that," my dad said.

"Thanks Dad. That means a lot to me."

We hugged and I felt relieved.

They accept me.
