After that night, Atla and I are in love. Yes, I wished for it, but I already had feelings for her and I just wanted to make sure she felt the same way. But it been a few months since then and alot has changed since. I gave her the ability to become human so she lives with me in the house. I made myself 20 so we could live here without my parents (I moved them somewhere in Australia. They're fine). I wished Atla up some official documents so she shouldn't have to hide in the ocean. Only myself and the doctor I wished knew everything about mermaid health know her secret, but at least this way she can walk around without worrying about how to explain where she's from. And as for me, I'm a 6 ft 5", incredibly buff, rich, 20 year old who has a mermaid as a girlfriend and a magic ring that can grant me anything. My life is great.
Around our third month living together, Atla wanted to take me on a diving trip to one of my favorite coral reefs nearby for my birthday. We spent the whole day swimming, taking pictures, fucking after lunch, playing with dolphins, fucking in a sea cave - general date night stuff. To finish every one of our dates, Atla and I take a picture and put in our bedroom to remember the day we had. Some of them go in a secret box because they're mermaid related, but it's a tradition we have. So on this particular date after we took the picture, Atla hunched over in pain.
"What's wrong, babe?"
"Nothing, my stomach just hurts. I've been bloated for a while."
I let it go and we swim back to where I anchored our boat to go home. Yes we can swim home, but boats are fun too.
The next morning, I wake up in our bed with Atla curled up in front of me. I cup my hand around her left breast and start to play with her nipple. She wakes up and turns towards me. "Whoa Atla. Are you okay? You look so desheveled."
"I'm fine. I just didn't sleep last night. My stomach was bothering me again."
"Oh really?" I move my hand away from her boobs and move it down towards her ass and slap it, making it jiggle tremendously. "This seemed fine last night." She rolls her eyes and starts to get up, but I pull her back down on top of me so we're chest to chest. Normally I would take this opportunity to motorboat my girlfriend's incredible rack but something does feels different. I rub the small of her back and move to caress her sides feeling her tummy.
"Uh Atla. You really are bloated." I lift both of us up and have her sitting next to me. Sitting up, I lift up her shirt exposing her belly. Compared to last night's slight bump, it has pushed out at least twice as far. "Feel it." I place a hand on her bulging stomach and motion for her to do the same. It feels strangely warm. What the hell? "What's wrong with me?" She starts to tear up.
"Nothing's wrong, Atla. We'll go talk to Dr. Bennett as soon as we get dressed." I snap my fingers and we're both sitting in Dr. Bennett's office's waiting room. Atla looks at me from the examination table "Couldn't wait?"
I chuckle trying to make light of the visit, but she just worries some more. I lift her chin to meet mine in a kiss to calm her. We only just separate when Dr. Bennett comes through the door.
"Mornin all." He goes straight to wash his hands and starts putting on some plastic gloves. "What seems to be the problem?" He stops when he sees Atla's stomach. "Oh I bet it has something to do with this." They both nod and explain how she's been having discomfort and how it grew some much in one night. I ask the Doc "I gave you all knowledge on Mermaid health for Atla. What is wrong with her?"
Dr. Benett closes his eyes for a minute. And when he opens them he has a giant smile on his face. Atla holds her stomach. "Doctor, what's wrong?"
"Wrong? Oh nothing. Nothing at all."
I gesture to her stomach. "Then what's this?"
Dr. Bennett smile beams "That would be your future son or daughter. Congratulations you're pregnant!"
My jaw drops. "Pregnant? How is that possible? Well I know how it's possible but we're not even the same species. How are we even compatible?"
"Humans and Mer folk are very similar in DNA with only the fish half of the Mer folk separating the two groups. You two bridged that evolutionary gap."
We leave the doctor's office stunned and confused. Apparently in 7 months, Atla and I will have our own little guppy to call our own.
