"Alright, alright, now, the deal, please, anything."
"Ah yes, how could I forget, well... let me think... Ah yes I've got it!"
Your heart began pounding as she opened her mouth to say the deal.
"Michelle... You must become impregnated and give birth to a child of your own if you want to be with your
wife."
Your heart sank into your chest.
"Wha... what? I... I can't! First of all, I can't wait 8 months to give birth and go back to her! I'd be there
a month or two late to my child's birth! She'd think I abandoned her! She might find another man..." you try
to reason.
"If you to really loved each other, then you have nothing to worry about. Why did you come here anyway?" she
asks.
"I came here to see if the waters around here were good for deep sea fishing. A friend told me about this
place." you explain.
"Then there you go, you'll tell her you were stranded on an when you went fishing, and found a child on the
way back."
"You mean, lie to my wife?" you said, nervously.
"Of course, you can't tell her you gave birth to the child, or that you're a mermaid, that's a secret that
we've tried to maintain for thousands of years. Every man we've met we've either changed them, drowned them,
or been with them until they died of old age if they were good men that could keep our secret. You should be
lucky we made you a sister, we don't do that often you know, the last one was Elizabeth 500 years ago."she
said.
"Yeah, but I was actually a girl when you changed me, I don't know how it feels, but I think the whole turning
into a girl thing bothers Michelle. Oh well, there's only one Merman in the entire world, and that's the way
he likes it. You've heard of him, Neptune, or Poseidon, whichever name you prefer." Elizabeth said.
"You guys are going off topic for something so serious!" you proclaim.
"Is there anything else you need to know?" Florencia asked.
"Yes, how exactly will the mating work?"
"I'm sorry, but that's a secret until you decide, so do you accept the offer, or do you decline it?"
You decide...
