I home in a bitchy mood because Mr Kendall gave us extra homework to find out the meaning of our names.
mom saw me in a dazed expression,and she gestured for me to come sit beside her.
"what's wrong honey?"
I sighed.
"stupid Mr Kendall gave us extra homework."
Mom shaked her head and and smiled. "darling, that's not any thing to worry yourself over now go and do your homework"
she slapped me lightly on my shoulder ,and I got gently shoved towards the stairs.
I started up the stairs and went into the bathroom to have my regular hot water bath,as I do every evening.
I rided my self of clothing,and stepped into the warm water .Ten seconds after this, I transformed in my mermaid form,but something was different. Instead of my regular silver streaks,they were firey red,kinda like Adrian's which heavily contrasted with my aqua hair and silver and aqua scales.
"Mom!" I yelled in my loudest voice that I could muster,and suddenly appeared in front of me.(she had teleportation powers unlike me, I could control the weather.)
"what on earth is going on in here!
I left the seaweed casserole in the oven and if it burns...." mom rambled.
"I'm over here!" I yelled again.
"oh sorry darling,its just that its your fathers favorite dish and I don't want to ruin it."
Well you know love when you see it they always say.
"mom my silver streaks are gone "
I say while blowing a few strands of hair out my face.
my mother looked at quizzcaly."did you dye it?"
"no mom I didn't"
"Well I'll ask your father about it"
I nod .
"now you get out out and come help me in the kitchen. I'll be waiting" she said tauntingly.
And with that,she teleported herself into the kitchen leaving me to haul myself out of the tub.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were sitting at the dinner table when I told dad about the change in my hair .Dad glanced up from his seaweed casserole and looked at me."are you sick darling?"
"no dad, I'm not sick" I add, as I took a sip of my salt water.
Mom touched me on my shoulder and glanced at dad. Dad nodded.
what are they going to tell me? am I adopted?
mom smiled at me .
"darling,I'm pregnant"
my frown turned into a huge grin .
" oh my God mom! is it a boy or a girl? What's is its name?"
Dad smiled." Calm down there little one,or should I say big sister?"
I walked over to dad and embraced him the biggest hug I could muster.
He smelt like the sea,like the clamshell he always slept in in our underwater home.
"midnight now go to sleep ,remember we have to visit the king tomorrow."
"ok dad." I told him.
"goodnight,"
I told all three of them.
mom smiled at me and continued to rub her stomach.
