Evie opened the front door of her boyfriend's house to see the Blakely's and Mimmi hugging. She stopped suddenly.

"What did I miss?"

Mimmi detangled herself out of Rob's arms and walked over to Evie. She looked at her and hugged the confused brunette. After a moment of shock, Evie hugged her back.

They stopped hugging, and Evie looked at Mimmi's huge smile. She then looked at the resto the people in the house.

"What is going on here?" Evie asked with a laugh.

"Zac finally told his parents about me. They like me Evie, they really like me!" Mimmi replied, her grin growing bigger.

"What do you mean that he finally told them?" Evie looked over at her boyfriend. "You didn't tell them until now? Zac!"

Zac looked down, ashamed.

Lauren looked at Evie. "Wait, you knew about them?"

Evie nodded. "I was there when they found out. That night in the…" She trailed off.

"In the what?" asked Rob.

Evie looked at Mimmi, who had just sat back down on the arm rest, and at Zac. The twins shook their head in unison. Evie gave a slight nod towards them, a notation that she understood. She then looked back at the adults.

"In the living room. Rita's living room where she revealed that Zac and Mimmi were siblings." Evie looked at the twins, who nodded.

"How does Principle Santos play into all of this?" questioned Lauren.

"I told you. She knew Nerissa. She knew that I was Nerissa's daughter and there was rumors that she had a son. She saw us together and saw that we were so similar. She checked with some of her friends and came to the conclusion that Zac and I were siblings. She helped us realize that we were not only sibling but twins." imputed Mimmi.

"Oh, well that makes sense." Rob replied.

Zac let out the breath that he didn't notice that he was holding.

Mimmi too visibly looked relieved that they had bought the story.

"Now I have a question. Who is older?" Rob asked, pointing to the twins.

Zac was about to answer, but stopped with a puzzled look on his face. He too looked at Mimmi who smiled.

"Zac is the oldest." Said the grinning Mimmi. "But only by a few minutes I believe. At least that's what Rita told me."

Evie then walked away from the door and towards the smile pile of prawns on the table. She picked up and uneaten one, cracked the shell and popped it in her mouth. She then looked over and caught Mimmi's eye. Mimmi raised an eyebrow.

"What? I was hungry."

Mimmi laughed. "Come on. I'll go get you some fresh ones. I'm late with meeting the girls. Care to come with?"

"I would love to." Evie said.

The two brunettes said their goodbyes to everyone and exited the house.

Zac looked over at his parents.

"Do you forgive me for holding such a big secret from you?"

Lauren sighed and smiled. "Of course sweetheart. I just wish you would have told us sooner."

"You know Zac, you can tell your mother and me anything. We will always love and support you no matter what." Rob said, placing his hand on his son's knee.

Zac looked down at his knee and then into both of his parents eyes. "I know."

Mimmi and Evie swam into the moon pool to greet the fellow mermaids.

"You're late." Ondina remarked in an annoyed tone when they surfaced.

"I know, I know. I'm sorry. I just had some things to sort out before I came." Mimmi explained to her best friend.

"What sort of things?" questioned Sirena who stopped counting the shells she had collected to join the conversation.

"Well, Zac finally told his parents about me, and they accepted me. Rob even called me his daughter. I have a family now!"

Sirena squealed and swam over to her friend.

"Oh Mimmi! I'm so happy for you!" She grabbed her and hugged her tightly.

Evie came over and joined the hug. When they separated, Mimmi looked over at Ondina who had her arms crossed.

"Am I the only one here who sees a problem? Mimmi, they are not your family. We're your family. And because you revealed this secret, Zac's parents are going to wonder what other secretes their son is keeping from them. You cannot trust them. They are land people and mermaids can't…" Ondina stopped as she saw the sorrow began to form in her friend's eyes

"Trust them." Ondinia finished. "Look Mimmi. I don't want to see get hurt. They are not like Cam, Carly and David. Once they find out that their son is a merman and his twin sister is a mermaid, they are going to try and fix you. Besides, isn't Zac's dad a doctor?"

Evie nodded.

"Exactly, it is in his nature to try and cure people like us." She made air quotes at the word cure.

"It's too risky. Please don't hate me."

Mimmi swam over and hugged her best friend.

"Thanks for looking out for me." She said in Ondina's wet, crazy hair. She pulled back and looked into her friends blue eyes as she held her shoulders. "But I have a feeling that everything will be fine."

Ondina looked down and sighed. "I wish I was as confident as you are. Go on, I trust you."

Mimmi smiled and swam out of the moon pool.

"I hope she knows what she has just gotten into." Ondina mumbled.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I really like this chapter and I hope you did to. Thanks for your support.
