"What kind of options?" I curiously asked.
"It's either I make you abort that maybe or you give it to me? Which one will work for you w***e?" she said with an evil smile on her face.
I was shuttered by the suggestions, why the hel* does she think she has the final say to my baby's life but why am I surprised because she has the final say to my life. Always had but never will be.
"If I give it to you, how will it survive here? This baby is a human, I conceived while I was in a human form and was made to conceive by a complete human" I explained to her!
She started to look distracted, obviously she didn't think about it this far. All she was obsessed about was a baby!
It wasn't long since a hot slap rested on my cheek.
"GRRRR!" she screamed, broken and disappointed. Her mermaidal tail whipped me!
"YOU FOOLISH w***e!" she continued.
I just stood there staring at her! There was nothing much I could do or say to calm her down. Anything that would have came out of my mouth, would have made things worse!
After started to eat her fingertips, scratching her head and trying to figure out an evil way to deal with me.
"Look! You can't give birth to that baby, it'll make things worse for me and you! You'll be banished from this kingdom if not killed. Because you made a whole human with another human"
She went back on her fingertips. What I didn't understand was that she doesn't love me at all and having me killed or banished would have made her very happy.
"But I thought that's what you'd want" I said.
She threw a gaze at me.
"Yes but I think I'll need you. I have another proposal for you"
I wonder what is it this time. She was full of plotting and skimming everyday.
"it's up to you that I call others and let them know that you're pregnant before marriage and with a human to make things worse OR..." she went mute for a few seconds.
"OR what?" I asked since she was keeping me in suspense.
"Or you abort that human, then I give you a merman to make you conceive a mermaid baby then when you give birth I'll take that baby and make it my own and your father's, which makes it your baby sister!" she said.
I was amazed at what I was hearing.
"And where will I be at that time? And what will you say to my father when your tummy is not growing?" I asked.
She drew her eyes all over the place, again she did not think about this plan of hers clearly.
"Smart as*, come up with solutions not stupid questions. I'm trying to save your own life here! She shouted.
"I don't have any solutions, sorry!" I said
"Then shut your miserable mouth up!"
"Wait, there's this witch I know in the middle of the sea. We'll go there, she'll make you some herbs to get rid of that human inside you and then I'll find a merman to impregnate you for me then you'll give birth and die" She cracked her evil laugh.
I felt darkness hovering over me, and it was almost as if I was swallowing the whole sea and it suffocated me. I touched my belly and in my heart I made a promise to my baby that I'll protect it from any harm by this witch and I remained strong.
"So, so what will you say to my father. Where will you say you're going?" I asked.
"it doesn't matter, I'll pick up an unnecessary fight with him about you and then leave" she explained.
"What if he moves on with another? I mean 9 months is a long time" Suddenly my voice came back.
"He wouldn't dare even if he wished. It wouldn't happen" She sincerely stated.
I was amazed by her confidence. Something told me that there was more to it but what could it be?
"Why are you so sure?" I asked.
"I, I... I'm just saying" she stuttered.
I knew there was something more to it, I knew that she did something to my father and that is why he started to despise me after married to her.
"How did you and this certain witch meet?"
"You're starting to get on my nerves, I don't answer to you" she said.
"Now, here is a plan. I'll start a fight with your father and leave but I'll come back for you, I'll expect you to tell your father that you're going to look for me. He won't care about your whereabouts anywhere. You'll find me outside waiting for you. For the record, if you trying something funny you'll die. If you run away to the world again, your father dies, do you understand me?"
She explained and I had no other choice but to agree to her terms.
I miss Wyatt so much, I miss Maya too. I looked at my pregnancy although it was till not visible enough. I fantasized on how great Wyatt would have been to our baby, I knew he'd be a good father! but somehow I still had faith.
What do I do? Or maybe I should have killed this woman... Oh no I'm not a murderer but it wouldn't have been a bad thing.
I looked above and I missed my mother. I felt venerable without her protection, I felt lost and distracted. I shouldn't have left the world, I should have came back. I should have listened to Maya but I am pregnant and being strong for my baby was the only choice I had.
I had no regrets about my pregnancy! It was a perfect gift and I loved it.
