Keefe's POV
"You know it's a balloon not a bubble." Sophie tries to explain, while walking over to the balloon.
"Yeah, yeah." I counter" A human thing. This was a really good idea Soph. I didn't even think of surprising myself! By stabbing a bubble!!!"
"Balloon!"
We walk over to the HUGE half pink - half blue bubble. I grab the large pointy pin, scheming how I can make the bubble pop the loudest.
"Count us down!!!" Sophie yells towards our friends. And Bangs Boy.
"FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!" Everyone screams the words louder and louder.
I stick the pin in the bubble so hard the pop was deafening. YES!
The balloon falls like a crumbled piece of paper, revealing confetti everywhere.
And the colour was....
BLUE! 🩵
"I'M GOING TO BE A DAD TO A BEAUTIFUL BOY!!! WOW!!!!!!" I shout out. People were cheering and throwing the confetti in the air. I run over to Sophie, pick her up, and spin her in the air. She lands on the ground and she hugs me, resting her face into my neck.
"Keefe." She whispers. I lower my ear to her face.
"Yeah?" I whisper back.
"I told you so."

Sophie's POV
Wow. A baby boy. I KNEW IT! My beautiful baby boy.
"I told you! I TOLD YOU!" I was so so so so happy that Keefe was wrong. Mama Sophie knows best. Hmm. Mama Sophie. I like that. I'm also happy I'm having a boy. Not just because Keefe was WRONG!!!
I was in my bedroom with Keefe. He was styling his hair. (WHICH TAKES FOREVER....) and I was reading: The Elves Baby Book for Boys. It gave me lots of different ideas. So far, I'm wishing that elves had human names.
"What about... Finor? I had a cousin named Finor." Keefe asks, adding more products into his hair.
"No. It sounds too much like Fintan. How about..." I look through the book. "Faelar? Nah. It sounds like a Vikings name."
"Viking? Nevermind. It must be a human thing."
"Yeah. Do you like -"
"I know what we should call him!!!" Keefe says eagerly, walking into the
"What? What?" I say. I sit up straight with excitement.
"Keefe Jr!" He looks at me with jazz hands. "Tada!" I flop back down onto my bed.
"Wow. That's a whole lot of disgust I'm feeling from the two of you." Keefe says, waving his hand in the air, looking like he was smelling something really bad.
"He can hear us?" I wonder, looking at the baby with a new light. "Do you like the name Keefe Jr" I talk to him in a baby voice.
"Yep. He hates it." Keefe says disappointedly. "That's too bad. It's only the best name ever."
"Hmm. I wonder if we could go through the book with him. If he likes the name, I'll add it to the list."
"Good idea! CAN WE PLEASE START WITH NAMES BEGINNING WITH K! IT'S THE BEST LETTER EVER!"
"Fine." I flick through the book to the letter K.
"Kael. Kairo. Kelvin. Kenton. Kielan. Kyrell." I look at Keefe as I say them, his head shaking every time.
"Well, we know Keefe isn't a good name." I wink at Keefe.
"Ouch." He clutches his chest like he was wounded. "That hurt."
"Ha. Ha. Oh. What about - Oh no. We can't do it. Can we?" I see a name in the book.
"What is it?" Keefe asks me.
"A name. It's kind of perfect. I actually love it. But we can't name him that. Can we?" I point to the name.
"Hmmm. I like it. Ke-"
His voice is drowned out as I suddenly I get a hail from Councillor Bronte.
"Sophie. Good Morning. Congratulations on your child." He tells me, rather quickly.
"Thanks Bronte." I answer cautiously. Why is he being nice?
"Hmm. Well, I was wondering if you would do something for me?"
"Oh. Well that makes sense. What is it?"
"Well. I want you to go to the Mermaid Kingdom."
"Again? Why?"
"Yeah. Why, Bront. Can I call you that? Or maybe Bron? Bront Boy? Councillor Bront Boy???" Keefe jumps in.
"No. No. No. And, No." He says, with a hint of a grin. "Focus. Last time, you didn't go to the Mermaid Kingdom, Nereides. You went to Danter Caves, which is connected to Nereides."
"That still doesn't answer my question? Why would I be going there?"
"Well... That's the tricky thing. We think..."
"Think what?" I ask, when he doesn't continue.
"Well... We think the mermaids have committed treason."
