"No dilly dallying we need to get this done now."
They took me out of the cage like I had planned.
I headbutted the one that was holding me.
ran to Theodore he used his power and destroyed the place.
"Let's go."
I used my power to get us out of the lab.
We ended up at my step parents house.
I knocked one the door.
"Hello."
"Mia is that you?"
"Caroline."
"I have missed you so very much."
"My how you have grown."
How old are you?"
"I have missed you so very much."
"I am nine years old now that makes you twenty three years old."
"Mom, Dad, Lucas come quick."
"What is it, honey."
"Mia, you're okay."
"I am so glad your back."
"Yes and I am here to say goodbye to you all."
"Are you leaving already?"
"Why?"
"Sorry Caroline I can't stay here when I know I wont be wanted."
"Why wouldn't you be wanted?"
"How did you escape?"
"They said that it was supposed to be impossible for you to escape from there."
"Emily what are you saying?"
"I am saying Dan she wasn't supposed to get out ever she was supposed to die in that lab."
"See Caroline, that's why I am not wanted here is because of your Mom."
"So this is all your doing Mom but why?"
"I missed Mia so much I have had no one to play with or hangout with for three years and now she's leaving again because of you?"
"Well goodbye everyone."
"Bye Mai we are sure going to miss you."
Theodore and I walked to the beach shore line.
"No matter what happens I will always stay by your side."
We walked side by side into the water.
"I will always be by your side to Theodore."
The only thing that I haven't told Theodore is that I am pregnant with his child.
Of course it happened when I was locked up in the cell he had a key and would come inside the cell with me.
He doesn't know about me being pregnant yet.
I will tell him after we settle into our new home.
We got to our new home.
Swam inside.
Everything was already set up for us.
The furniture, dishes, and just everything.
"Well I guess we won't have to unpack."
"Nope it's all here and set up for us."
"How nice."
"What do you want to do?"
"We need to sit down and talk."
"I have something to tell you and don't worry it's good news."
"What's the good news honey?"
I took a big breath in.
"Theodore, I am pregnant and you're going to be a father."
"What!?"
"Really!?"
"That's great."
I gave Mia a big hug.
"That's so amazing baby."
"I am here for you if you ever need me or anything."
"Thank you Theodore."
"I love you so very much."
"I love you to honey."
Since mermaids are not all human our birth time is shorter by three months so we waited days, nights, and months until a week before my birth Theodore swam to land with me.
I have to be human to give birth or I will turn into bubbles of course the baby would be okay but I would be dead and the baby needs a mother and a father.
We rented a hotel so I could be comfortable for the birth.
We just wait now.
I sat down and my water broke.
"Theodore the baby is coming tonight."
It's a good thing we came to land tonight.
"Just breathe and stay calm."
All the pain I went through and the long time it took was so worth it because I gave birth to two wonderful babies born into our life.
"It's a miracle isn't it?"
"Yes it very much is a miracle."
"I am so happy that they are healthy."
"We will go home tomorrow sometime but for now just rest and take it easy."
We all fell fast asleep.
I was up every hour on the dot taking care of the babies.
Changing their diapers, feeding them, and even just comforting them.
At least they both would wake up at the same time that made things a lot easier.
I woke up to Mia awake with the babies in her arms.
I walked over to them and she handed one of the babies to me.
"Morning my love."
"Morning."
"Are you ready to head home?"
"If you're ready I am ready."
We walked to the beach and into the water holding one baby as Mia was holding the other.
"When we get home we should pick names for our children."
"That's a good idea."
We all changed into mermaids and swam home.
When we got home we put the babies to bed.
"What should we name them?"
"We should draw sticks."
"Sounds good to me."
We put names in two cups.
Theodore picked one and I did the same.
"I got Lilly for the girl."
"I got Jake for the boy."
"They are such great names for them both."
"Yes the names fit perfectly."
"Two amazing babies with two perfect names."
"They will grow up in a better place than you and I were raised in."
"Though scientists were not sweet that is for sure."
"Yea no kidding."
"At least we are all free from the scientist."
"I want our kids to grow up happy and I want to show them everything that I can."
"Time is so precious."
"Yes you said it, time is not to be wasted on being bad."
"It's spent with laughter, love, family, and friends."
"You got that right."
