Morning finally came and mom was at the house making breakfast as usual. Haha come to think of it she has been doing this since the second day she has moved in. I wonder if Nova made a deal with her. I turned around and saw Nova was still asleep beside me. I kissed him on the cheek and smiled at his handsome boy like face. Wondering how I got so lucky. A few minutes later he woke up fluttering his eyes. "Morning handsome." I said. "Haha. Morning beautiful." We gave each other a good morning kiss and got dressed to head out to the kitchen.
"How you feeling Zee?" said mom. "I'm feeling better. The herbs the doc gave me really help me sleep. The ones that the mermaid doc gave me work wonders during the day." Aquarius finally woke up. "Oh morning Aquarius." "Morning Zee. Did you get in the water this morning?" "No but I should. Let me do that while I still can." "Let me help you there. That is why I am here after all. I have to make it the same temperature as the ocean as to get you and your future child used to it." So we went into the bathroom and she got the water ready. "Hey Aquarius? Do you know anyone who has had a baby as a mermaid?" "Yeah speaking of my cousin just had a baby boy why?" "Well I get that girls have to wait until mermaid puberty which can happen as soon as age 9 0r 10 and as late as 18 but if I have a boy how soon would I be able to take him on land after he is born?" "I don't know much but I heard the first year or 2 are crucial. You should ask your father when you see him again. I'm sure he will be up for a visit sooner or later to see how you are." "Yeah your right." I got in the bath and relaxed. Aquarius went out to give me some privacy.
I sat in the tub thinking. That dream I had. I had 2 twin boys and twin girls. The boys looked older. Who knows boys are taller than girls weather they are older or not usually. I hope I have girls first they will be a little harder. Maybe I will have a boy and a girl. Maybe that is what I had twice. Well I guess we will wait until the time comes I guess. (sigh) Finally my time in the bath is done. Aquarius came in to help me dry off. I am finally starting to show. It is now the second month. I will be turning 19 at the end of the month.
After breakfast my phone rang. "Hello?" "Oh hey Zee. How is that baby doing in there?" "Its doing fine Revy. How is your brother and Crystal doing?" "Fine I guess. Oh I called to see if we can visit soon. Would that be ok?" "Hang on a moment." I covered the phone and called for Nova. "Nova! Come here a second!" Nova came up and said, "What's up? Everything ok in here?" "Yeah its fine. Can Revy come over sometime soon?" "yeah they can come Over anytime you don't have any plans and I won't let you until that baby is born." "Oh you worrywart. Fine be that way." "Yeah its fine." "Oh is that Revy on the phone? May I speak to her?" "Yeah sure." "Revy Nova wants to talk to you." "Ok sure."
"Hello Revy." "Hey Nova what's up?" "Well since Zee is pregnant she won't be having plans unless it's the doctors. I work a lot in my study. The only girls here are her, her mom, and her friend Aquarius. It would be nice if you can help out as well. The more females the better. I'm sure Zee will like it as well." "Hehe of course. I will be happy too. It will just be me and Crystal anyway. Kiran has work somewhere anyway. We will be over around noon." "Ok sounds great. Here is Zee." "See you later and good luck on your book." "Thanks I know I can come to you if I need help." "Yes you sure can." "Hey Revy. So when are you coming over?" "Oh I'm coming around noon today. Have some yummy food waiting for us. Its just me and Crystal. My brother is working." "Ok well see you soon love you." Then we hung up and I rested on my bed.
I put my hand on my belly and said, "What are we going to do little one or ones. Mommy is bored right now and tired." Aquarius walked in and said, "I know we can watch video's of you when you were dancing. Ooh lets watch the ones where you first started out." "Those are embarrassing but fine. What do you think little one or ones? Do you agree with auntie Aquarius? Hehe. Fine lets go." We went in the living room to get the tv ready and Nova came out. "Oh your going to watch a show?" said Nova. "Something like that. We are watching my dances. We are watching how I started out first. My street dances." "Oh sounds like fun. I came out to ask you something. Its some advice on a story I'm writing. Read this to see how it is and how this situation would go." "Sure. I will." While Revy and Crystal were getting things ready, I was helping Nova and Aquarius was helping mom in the kitchen for a bit.
"Ok so the situation looks good. I would suggest you put this how to solve it." I was a good typist so I typed what I thought would work. "How does that sound?" "Yeah I like it. Thanks Zee." "No problem. Ready to watch girls? Mom and Aquarius I'm sure you are done with snacks and drinks lets go already." "Ok Ok Geez pregnant woman are just so impatient." Said mom. "No its just her." Said Aquarius. "Hehe. Is that so. I guess she takes after both me and Kei. Oh dear." "Hehe its fine lets get the snacks in here or she will be hangry." "Hehe I know right." So they got the snacks and drinks in and us girls started the video and ate and drank our snacks. "I forgot who was filming it at this time. But it was either Nova or his brother Teo. I have known those brats apparently since I was 5 years old. I think. Here comes the embarrassing parts. Let me know when they are over I can't look. Baby or babies never ask mommy to see her embarrassing video's ok? Promise me in the future." "Oh ouch. That looked like it hurt." Said Crystal. "Yep and embarrassing moment. Now I know who filmed it. It was Teo. He laughed at me once it was over and made fun of me. Nova stuck up for me even if he did laugh a little. He saw I was upset." "I think it was 3 or 4 years after this video before he went missing.(Sigh)" "You girls enjoy the show. I need to go outside and take a walk. Fresh air you know." "I'll go with you." Said Aquarius. "Thanks." So she and I took a walk.
"What's really going on Zee?" said Aquarius. "(sigh) Its just everytime I see that video, I remember that a few years after was the day Nova disappeared. I know he is finally back but I'm afraid he will disappear again." Then I started crying. Aquarius hugged me as we walked. "Oh Zee. It will be ok. I'm sure he won't go off again like that. Especially since he has a child on the way. He wouldn't leave his girlfriend and baby all alone." "Maybe its just all this pregnant stuff. That I am emotional. I don't usually get this emotional for something simple as this. Dang." "Hehe. Its ok Zee. Lets head back. When the video is over you should get in the tub." "Yeah ok sure."
I walked in and saw the others running to me to make sure I was ok. "I'm fine girls. Thanks for asking." I sat down and watched the rest of the video with them then said, "Sorry girls I have to take a bath." "Its fine go ahead. I know about your skin condition remember?" Said Revy. "Yeah thanks."
When I went in the bathroom with Aquarius I said, "I have a question Aquarius. I don't see Nova in the water as much. Are boys different than girls and the time for needing water?" "Not necessarily. There is a pill or pills to take that help them with their water intake for males. They have some for females but you can't take them right now as your pregnant but you can ask the doctor about them after you have the baby or babies." "Yeah sounds great. I wonder when father will be up again?" "Oh I heard from him. He said he would be up for your birthday for sure." "Really? Cool! Do I have any aunts or uncles on dad's side?" Yeah he has an older brother and 2 younger sisters. Only by 4 years. I'll ask him to bring them. As for your mother I don't know." "According to dad, mom doesn't have any that she knew of at the time. They could be around but want nothing to do with her." "Oh I'm sorry." "No Its all good. I'll talk to mom about it I'm curious." "Ok get in now Zee." "Hey Aquarius? Can you stay in here? Its not like there is anything to see except for my tail and seashell bra." "Sure ok." I always have to go in with 2 feet at a time since my fin changes the moment I hit water. "I'm sure the doctor will be here for my birthday as well. I hope both of them are. I want to check and see if he or she or they are doing good." "By the way you look, you look like you could be having twins. By your birthday you will definitely be showing if I am right." "He he wouldn't that be great." I said sarcastically. After we talked awhile it was finally time to get out. "Ok lets dry you off my pregnant friend." "Hehe. Yeah I sure am." I let her dry me off and we headed out.
"Oh I have to tell Nova something." I knocked on Nova's study room door. (Knock Knock.) "Yeah who is it?" "Its me Zee." "Oh Zee come on in." I opened the door and sat down beside him. "How is your story coming along?" "Oh its doing good so what's up?" "I know you said I shouldn't have any plans but I need to go shopping for clothes. According to Aquarius it looks like we may be having twins. My clothes just aren't working for me right now. I was thinking since all the girls are here now we can go out to the mall and have a little girls day out. Would that be ok Nova?" "(Sigh) Yeah I guess so. Remember to rest when you need it don't over due it. Also not far from the mall is the ocean. Aquarius can help you there. As for the others, have them do something to occupy why you are in the water ok? I'm sure Aquarius is good at that. That is why your father picked her to help you out." "Thank you. I knew I loved you." "You just figured that out now?" I gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "Bye I love you. Girls its shopping time. Mom is driving." Us girls went out and got in the car. Nova walked us girls out and told them "Be careful have fun." I threw him a kiss he caught it and put it to his heart. "Ok lets go mother." I sat in front. The other two in back.
"Ok here we are." Said mom. "Lets go girls." Said Revy. Aquarius ran to my side to help me. "How you feeling Zee?" "I'm fine. So since I only have an hour lets go look at clothes first." So we headed to the maternity clothes.
"Ok so what do you want to buy for maternity clothes?" said Aquarius. "Well I was thinking a couple of dresses pants and shirt. "Oh I found the dresses." Said Revy. I looked at the dresses and grabbed two I liked then I went to the pants and shirts and got those. We paid for the clothes and went to get ice cream.
After we ate our ice cream it was time for me to go in the water. Aquarius made an excuse for us two to be alone and I got int the water for a little while then got out and put my old clothes back on. "Ok girls. Where to next?" said mom. "Lets go eat. Me and my babies are hungry." I said. "Hehe. Ok good Idea." Said mom. We went to the food area where they had different food. I patted my belly saying, "Hmm. What food do you babies want? Of course of all things you want. The babies are craving Mexican food. Anything Mexican I don't care. Make it spicy." "I know just the thing." Said Aquarius. They all looked at her weird. "Hey I visit from time to time." Only mom and I knew what she meant. We got our food and ate.
After we were done eating Revy said, "Lets people watch for a bit before we head back. Do we have time?" "Yeah in fact Why don't you people watch while I get in some water?" I said. "Ok see you soon." Said Crystal. Thanks mom, for staying with them." "No problem dear." So Aquarius and I walked to the Ocean and I chilled for awhile longer than I did before. Aquarius decided to join me this time. "How is the water Aquarius?" "Its great. I just miss being in the ocean but the water at Nova's is ok. Also I take the medicine I told you about as well." "Oh that makes sense I don't see you bathe as much either. What about Teo? Does he take the pill as well?" "No he has to bathe. He almost died when he first took the pill. That is why I suggest after your babies are born to talk to the doc first about taking them." "Yeah good Idea." It was finally time for us to change and get back.'
"Hey everyone ready to head back?" said Aquarius. "Yeah." Said us girls in unison. So we walked back to the car and I felt strange for a minute but shook it off and got in the car where I sat before and the others were in the back while mom drove.
We finally got back and said, "Well I had a good time girls. Thanks for coming." Then Revy and Crystal got in their car and left while mom and Revy walked in the house with me. "Aquarius can you walk mom out to her house?" "Yeah sure. Be right back." So Aquarius took mom to her house and I went to the room and saw Nova there reading a book. "Hey Nova I'm home." "Oh hey how was your girls day out?" "It was good. I'm tired I just want to sleep right now." "Wait a minute before you do take your medicine from the doc ok?" "(Sigh)Fine." I took the medicine and drank the tea I was given. "Now can I sleep?" He looked at me and said "No. Something is wrong. I can sense your worried." "(Sigh) I hate it when you do that. We need to find a way to turn them off." "Everything was going good at the mall for girls day but as we were walking to get in the car I felt strange or that something was wrong but I shook it off. I'm sure its nothing." "Just rest we will call the doc in the morning ok?" "Yes Nova."
