Lilly is fast asleep.
I swam to town and to the police station.
"What can I help you with?"
"Yes there is."
"Do you remember the little girl that went missing eleven years ago?"
"Her name is Lilly."
"Yes she was kidnapped with a lot of other kids but she's the only one we still have not found why?"
"Why doesn't her family remember anything about her?"
"That's to us, to erase their memories so that they wouldn't suffer."
"Okay thanks for your time."
I started to think on my way home.
How can the memories be brought back to her parents?
I know Lilly's powers.
I swam back to my house as fast as I could.
"There you are, I am glad you're home."
I swam to him and gave him a big hug and kiss.
"Hey Lilly I know how you can restore your families memories."
"How?"
"Using your powers."
"You have the power to help them remember."
"No way are you lying."
"No I am not just taking me to where your family lives and try it please."
"Okay fine I will only do this because they are my family and I miss them so very much."
I grabbed Lincoln's hand and took us to my parent's house.
We got to their front door and I knocked again.
"Hello?"
"Mother, father it's the two mermaids from a year ago."
"Hi I am Lilly and this is Lincoln."
"You are my parents and Jake is my twin brother."
"You might not believe me because your memories have been erased a long time ago."
"So please let me help you find them and remember me."
"Umm okay sure."
I started to concentrate on giving them their memories back.
"There done, do you remember?"
"Yes."
"Lilly is that really you?'
"Yes it's really me."
"This is Lincoln."
"I know he has done a lot of bad things but he is a great guy and we are getting married soon."
"Really that's great honey."
"We are so happy for you two congratulations."
My family and I are all back together.
I married the man of my dreams.
Lincoln was never put in jail for his crimes but everyone is really happy to be with their families.
Lincoln and I had three children.
Two boys and one girl.
I named my baby girl after my mothers step sister Caroline and the boys are Tom and Jerry.
Lincoln still watches how my powers continue to grow.
I started a hobby of drawing since it's the only thing I really know how to do.
My brother Jake has a wife of his own.
Her name is Jane.
They have five kids of their own and I am sorry to say they are all girls.
Just kidding I am laughing my head off.
They are all good girls.
I do spoil them from time to time.
Their names are Dahlia, Brennan, Lillian, Bean, and sweet little Tiny.
Everyone is happy and living life to the fullest and that's our story.
"No that's not all I still have something to give you for your wedding gift."
I handed her the gift.
"I got told the story of how your mother met your father."
"So I made this special for you."
"Wow that's amazing."
"Thank you."
