Chereads / Mermaid Tale: Angel Wins / Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 - Kristina and Justin

Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 - Kristina and Justin

After the Christmas ball, Kristina and Justin made a report to their mother, Lucy, saying that they could not get inside the palace, even other people could not get inside and then they heard that those with evil hearts cannot get inside past the invisible barrier. Lucy told them that their work is done as they found out the palace where the angels live, although they cannot enter, and she finally realised why Raphael gave Charmeine, the Mother Pearl or why the Mother Pearl chose Charmeine, because it is safe in Charmeine's hands away from her and her twins, Kristina and Justin. They then decided to make a camp outside the palace and starts destruction as people goes home from the Christmas ball, little did they know that the whole palace is equipped with weapons as well for any attack, and there are other angels patrolling but in disguise, so when Lucy asked her twins to attack the people coming out of the palace, the angels patrolling the outside of the palace, which is Richard and Marius, they save the people from the twins defending them and no one was harmed. Princess Charmeine and Prince Gabriel was at the Garden and heard the attack from outside, so they checked what was going on by watching using the element of light, and saw that the twins has finally shown their true selves, then they planned for a strategy as they poured water on them and hitting the pearls the twins are wearing with their arrow sneakily, without the twins noticing, their pearls were removed and they turned back to being a mermaid, and since they are on the land, they cannot move, and they were captured. Princess Charmeine took their pearls and purified it, erasing the black pearls from existence, which removes the power of the twins. They were able to win without killing Raphael's cousin, and they captured them instead and put them to trials and prison asking if they want to change and have a different life with freedom, not being asked what to do by their mother, but their freedom of choice to live and do the right thing, and choose what they really want to do, not what their mother wants. The twins chose to live a normal life but they are scared of their mother and prefer to stay in prison until they captured Lucy, at least, inside the prison of the palace, their mother cannot find them. Raphael promised to give them food every time of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and will also provide them proper bed to sleep inside the prison. After that, they prepared for a battle against Lucy. Gabriel and Charmeine decided to have their wedding after their battle with Lucy and became victorious, as it will also be their Victory Party for winning the battle against her, and finally the kingdom of Raphael and their world is safe from her because they will take the Black Mother Pearl and purify it, which will remove Lucy's powers. Prince Michael, Zadkiel and Chamuel are still hurt from the shock when Gabriel announced and proposed to Charmeine. Prince Michael then came to Charmeine to talk but she is with Gabriel and then he contacted her asking if he can have a private talk with her, just the two of them alone. Charmeine told Gabriel that Prince Michael wants to talk with her alone privately, they both wonder what does he need and why, and since they all can use powers, Gabriel agreed in a condition that they must not go outside the palace and make sure that they are both wearing the pearls, because if Prince Michael started to have evil thoughts or tries to take her away from him, the pearl will change it's colour and Prince Michael will be kicked out of the palace, which, he knows it wont happen because Prince Michael is an upright man who always follows the rules. Gabriel and Charmeine kissed and hugged each other before Charmeine goes to talk to Prince Michael.

Uriel: Finally, I can talk to you privately. You accepted my request.

Angeline: What do you want? or what do you want to talk about?

Uriel: Angeline, or I say, Princess Charmeine, you know the reason why I was away right? It was not really my intention.

Angeline: Yes, I know, and?

Uriel: Why can't we go back together? Don't you miss me? I know you still love me. You still have feelings for me despite the fact that you've chosen Gabriel. You know that it was not my intention to be away from you. It just happens and also, regarding my time with my best friend, that was because I was away from you and I miss you, but I cannot do anything because of the issues with my ticket. I spent time with her and those posts, I am sorry, I just want to know if you miss me, and how you will react because I want to know how much you love me by making you jealous. I am really sorry. Please, I can't live without you.

Angeline: I am sorry too but I can live without you, and I cannot live without him. You know that I have chosen him and I finally realise my true feelings. I finally realise who I cannot live without, who I really care for, who I really want to spent my life with forever.

Uriel: But Charmeine, I can see your heart that you still have feelings for me. I know you have feelings for him but whenever you are with me like this, you know you cannot help but miss me, miss our moments together before, you miss our past, wondering if you made the right choice.

Angeline: Of course, I made the right choice. I'm sorry, Prince Michael, but thank you. Thank you for being honest, and telling me everything. I may not be able to be with you anymore because I have chosen someone else but I hope you will still be there for me and our children, just as their father, and my friend. I don't want to lose you still because you are a part of us, angels, you have been with us and we need you, you are a special member of our team, a prince, and a special friend. I just can't be with you as a wife, nor a lover anymore. I hope you understand and you will agree.

Uriel: It is okay, I understand. I am really sorry for what I did, but don't worry. I will still be there for you and the other angels, if you guys need me. Everyone has become part of me too and became my special friends. I'm an angel too, so, I will still stay and help. I don't want to lose you either, even if I cannot be your husband anymore, at least I can still be by your side as a father to our children and as your special friend as well. I guess, I really deserve this, and I cannot change your mind anymore, but if you don't want to see me because you get confused again with your feelings, I will try to hide but I will still be here inside the palace. I know you're getting confused again between me and Gabriel, Charmeine. If in case, you realise and decided to come back as my wife, you are still welcome. I still love you that is why I am still staying here, so I can still be with you, even if not as husband, I want to be able to see you and stay by your side.

Angeline: Thank you, Prince Michael. I have to go. Please come to the meeting this time, and don't go away. We will form a strategic planning regarding our battle with Lucy. Please come later at the meeting place.

Uriel: I will be there.

Charmeine then left and went back to look for Gabriel and saw him playing with her babies. She then smiled as she watches him playing and her babies are smiling happily and laughing.

Angeline: You really seem like their dad, Gabriel.

Gabriel: Oh, you're here. Yeah, thanks, since I am going to be their stepdad soon, I want them to think of me as their real dad as well, I know Prince Michael is their real dad and I will be their stepdad, I still want to be there for them as their dad. Right babies?

Then the babies smiled and said with a big smile and laugh.

Babies: Yah!

Then both Charmeine and Gabriel laugh and smiled as well as they heard the babies said Yah and that became their first word.

Gabriel: Oh my babies, say daddy. C'mon say daddy.

Angeline: Hey, why make daddy their 2nd word? It should be mommy. You already gave them their first word "yah", although away from the word daddy or papa or father, haha.

Gabriel: Because they like me.

Babies: Yah!

Charmeine and Gabriel laugh again as the babies seem to always agree on what Gabriel is saying. Prince Michael saw this and became jealous of Gabriel having fun with his babies with Charmeine, and it seems the babies like him as well. He also wanted to have fun with his babies and play with them and make them talk. He is the real dad but their future stepdad got it first before him. He came towards them and joined them.

Uriel: Can I join?

Gabriel: It's okay.

Uriel: Hi my babies. This is dad-dy. Dad...dy..

Babies: Da...dy!

They were all surprised and amazed how Prince Michael managed.

Gabriel: How about me? What are you going to call me, my babies? I am your daddy too.

Angeline: Oh right. How about papa and mama then?

Gabriel: That's a nice idea. Babies, I am pa..pa..

Babies: Pa..pa..

Angeline: Say ma..ma..

Babies: Mama!

Then they all laughed and smiled but then Charmeine realised why her babies learned to say mama as the 4th word.

Gabriel: I am 3rd. I guess babies likes to call their fathers before mothers.

Angeline: I don't think so, because I don't.

Uriel: I guess not for our babies.

Angeline: Just because they learned to call you two first before me. Well, at least they learned to call me at the same day and almost the same time, just after they learned to call Gabriel.

They then all laughed again as they had fun playing with the babies.
