The door opened, and she came into the bathroom to see with her eyes that Nathan had splashed water all over the tub and had made a mess. Chloe walked towards the tub and crouched close to the tub and watched Nathan smiling beneath the surface and blowing bubbles with the addition of sporting the fishtail she saw earlier on the beach and the pointy ears.
" Oh my god “was the only thing Chloe could say before Nathan resurfaced saying” Mom it's true, everything that happened today at the beach was real. Look, I can breathe underwa...
“ No, stop right now and get out of the tub now !!" his mother cut him mid-sentence. Nathan stopped and looked his mother in the eyes and understood she was serious about this and immediately stopped moving. “ B-but I only… "
“ I said right now, don't make say it again "as she stood straight and raising her arm and pointing towards the open door. “ Ok I'll come out “Nathan said with his head low and on the verge of tears. He used both of his arms to climb out of the tub and stand on the edge. With his left arm, he reached at the stool and grabbed the towel and left around his neck. He then proceeded to bring the stool to the edge of the tub and bring himself to a sitting position on the stool. As a result, he brought the tail out of the tub, dripping water on the floor and in the process, giving his mother a good look at the glistening scales on his tail with all the blues, blacks, whites, and some orange. As he tried to dry his fishtail without much success.
“ Do you need an extra towel to dry up? “ His mother told him. He lifted his head up and forced a smile saying” Yes please “she then grabbed a towel from a hanger and quickly began to dry off her son’s tail, hoping that his human legs would come back. While Nathan was drying his hair.
In less than five minutes, Nathan began having that strange feeling again and shouted," Mom I can feel the change” . Chloe stopped what she was doing and took a step back, focusing her attention on her son's face. At the same time, Luke came into the bathroom and saw the transformation begin, with his mouth open and his eyes wide. First his hair and ears returned to normal, as well as losing some muscle mass. Now the pressure and shifting of his bones beneath the skin made his tail fins move back and forth like it were trying to swim in the air. Both Chloe and Ethan noticed that the 2 side tail fins started to slowly shrink while the 3 one was conjoining with the other two, and it began to shrink too.
Meanwhile, the scales started losing their bright colors and began disappearing beneath the skin, leaving him with a flesh tail. His tail fin disappeared and his toes and feet returned. Then his flesh tail split in half, giving Nathan back his ankles, knees, and the chance to see his manhood return.
“ Back to normal… I guess "Nathan said with a somewhat sad tone.
“ So it was all true "Ethan said as he walked towards his son and helped him stand after the transformation. Chloe took a new towel and wrap it around his waist. “ Yes dad it was all true, and now I can breathe underwater or rather we can breathe underwater now “.
“ That's true, but for now, it's time for bed "Chloe said, taking him by the hand and guiding him to his room.
“ I'll stay here and take a bath." Ethan said, closing the door behind them.
