Tavari POV:
Four months passed since Aph moved here, her belly is bigger, meaning that our babies are growing, we found out that we'll have a boy and a girl, I can't wait to see them "Tavari, where is the sea bunny skin? I need for a potion." I say "Near the jar with shark teeth, but why are you making a potion? Doctor said you need to take it easy." she says "Katelyn wants three speed potions." I move her "I will do it, you go eat." she wants to refuse "I don't accept a no." I point to the kitchen "Fine" I make the three potions for Katelyn "Aph is lucky to have a family who loves her, but the sad thing is that her biological parents are dead..." after I finish the potions, I swim to the kingdom. Katelyn is at the barrier "Tavari? Where is Aphmau?" I say "She is eating, I told her that I will make them." I give her the bag "Thank you. Before you go, I need to ask you a thing. Aphmau got some weight these months. Do you know why??" I shrug "It's her life, I don't care of her weight or her looks." I go back "That was very close." I swim back "Tavari!!" I gasp "I need to hurry!" I swim faster "Aph??" I find her on the floor, holding her belly "Are you ok?" she says "I felt kicks, the babies kick." I gently touch her belly, I feel kicks too "Aph" I hug her "We will protect them, no matter what." Aph is sobbing "Our babies..." I feel tears too.

Zane POV:
"Nana?" I search for her "Nana!" she is nowhere, where is she? "Zane!!" Nana comes running "Sorry for being late. I got a few clothes and towels. Why did you need-" I take 2 towels to cover my waist and chest, then I reveal my pair of legs "You are human!" I say "I drank a potion and here I am. It lasts 3 days." she asks "Can you walk?" I say "I don't know how to." I dress up "I'll help you. It's not hard." she helps me get up "Do one step" I do a step "Keep going" I fall on the sand "Nope, I can't walk." Nana says "I should get you to the castle..." I ask "What if someone will suspect me as a merman? I just came here." she is smiling "Only I believe in mermaids." it takes us 30 minutes to get there "Oh prince Travis~!!" I have no idea where this is going "Nana, where were you?" she says "I was with my friend. This is Zane." I slowly wave "A new visitor, it is a pleasure to meet you." I say "Same here your highness." I bow "Welcome to the kingdom. Feel yourself at home. Nana, bring him to his bedroom." she takes me to a room. The castle is huge, no wonder Aphmau was amazed "Um, how many rooms are in this castle?" I look left and right "Many" she opens a door "Here is your room~!" it's bigger than my parents' house "If you need a hand of help, I am right here." I touch the bed, it's soft "How do you sleep?" I say "When I was a crab, I was sleeping under a seashell." I sit on bed "Wow, it is really soft." I lay on it "Do mermaids sleep on beds??" I say "Mermans does, mermaids sleep in big seashells." I get up "Are you hungry Zane??" I say "Not really, just tired..." she says "I'll let you sleep." she smiles "Sweet dreams" she closes the door, I lay on this nice bed...

Aphmau POV:
Where is the transformation potion? I put it here! "What are you looking for dear?" I say "Transformation potion, I put it on the table and now it's gone!!" he asks "What transformation??" I say "In a human" my eyes widen "I think... Zane took it. We need to find him!" he says "Calm down, I think he wanted to stay more with Nana." I say "You got a point. Sorry, the pregnancy makes me crazy." I hold my belly "When are you going to tell them?" I say "In a week" I yawn "Can we go see my parents?" he asks "Right now? Sure" he holds me to help me swim to my parents' graves. I pick a few flowers to decorate "I think your parents are proud of you. You're a sweet woman who likes to explore." I blush "Thanks" I decorate the graves "Hi mom... hi dad..." I continue "I miss you a lot... this is my boyfriend Tavari. He is the sweetest merman I ever met. He takes care of me and helped me in many situations." I sigh "I want to say that you will have grandchildren. We know it's soon, but we love each other and we will take care of them." I sob "I love you mom and dad." Tavari puts a hand on my shoulder "Aph... I need to tell you something." I look at him "We have been friends for a long time, you helped me with my feelings. I thought I still loved Lucinda, but my heart was yours. What I am trying to say is..." he takes out a black box and opens it "It... can't be..." he asks "Aphmau... will you marry me...?" I start sobbing "Tavari" I cry "Yes!" I hug him tight "Shh, it's ok" I say "I can't help it..." he slips the ring on my finger "I love you Tavari!" I say "I love you too Aph. I'll always be with you." these words go to my heart "You promise?" he says "I promise. A shark better eats me if I don't." I laugh at his joke "Should we celebrate?" I say "We should" we swim while we hold hands to a random place "I'm not dreaming, I can't believe it happened, i'm happy." I see the place where couples kiss, then watch fireworks from the sky "There" we find a place to sit "Just in time!" we see the fireworks "Wow" they are so... colorful "You are more beautiful than the fireworks." I giggle "Oh Tavari" we enjoy the show, our hands still locked.
