Chapter 23: Untitled

"Welcome to the surface Everyone. My name is Ocean." Naia's parents decided to visit for today. They stayed with Makani and the kids.

"Well so far how do you like the surface? Is it warm?" "Well its different." Said a teenage boy. "Yes its quite different. I've lived here in my teen years I was born in the Ocean like you all here. So now down to business. I am going to go over the rules of what is to be done here. You are going to be treaded like land humans. Yes your skin will sparkle in the moonlight so it will be pretty. Kids will be going to school and you will help when asked unless its something dangerous like killing someone or stealing something illegal pretty much the same in the ocean I am sure. Your health will be looked after by our kind. If you are having trouble with a land human you come let me know I will talk to you and them. I won't side with anyone. I remain neutral. Oh yes another thing. You have no choice but to help. If you don't there would be no reason to stay here. Like this agreement says any sea human that comes to the surface needs to report to me. I don't care if they are visiting or living here. Now there are quite a few sea humans and land people living here that are willing to take you people in. I want you to be nice to them since they are offering. If you aren't they will send you to me and I will send you back home to the sea. Oh now speak of the devil they are waiting for us outside lets have them follow us to the meeting place outside now." So they all followed Ocean to an empty park looking place.

"Ok now here we are. Singes family and couples split into groups please." Nen was there too he Makani and the family stayed with him. "OK now families that are taking some of them in group into that group please." They did just that. Makani saw Konane and smiled. "He actually made it. Haha. He must be eager to met her." Said Makani. "What are you talking about? Makani." Said dad. "I told you was going to introduce her to Konane." "Oh yes that's right. Good luck." "Oh and I will take you to meet my parents after all this ok?" "Yes thank you." Said mom.

"Now its time to meet the families. No pushing or shoving please." So they went to meet the families.

That's when Makani grabbed the woman's arm. She was startled at first then relaxed when she saw who it was. "Oh Makani. You scared me." said the woman. "Oh is this him? He handsome." "Well thank you young lady. My name is Konane. I am Makani's older brother." "Nice to meet you Konane my name is Emerald." Emerald had Emerald color hair and eyes very beautiful. "Will you two be ok now? I will be at our parents house if you need us ok big brother." "I'm not a little kid but thanks little brother I will." "Jeeze just trying to look after my big brother lets go everyone." Said Makani. "Haha Oh little brother you never change." Said Konane. Then he went off to spend some time with Emerald.

Makani walked in instead of knocking. "Mom, Dad I'm back. I brought the two older kids. I also have some news." Mom came out and saw Nen and the boys. "Oh welcome back Nen. Haven't seen you in ages." "Sorry I have to take over for my sister a lot. Makani did you say you had some news for them?" "Oh Yeah. Get dad. Its important." "Honey Come down family meeting time!" So Dad came down to join them.

"Well dad. This is the last time so I will tell you. She is pregnant again. Naia is pregnant again. Looks like its one child like Kida was. I just hope it's a boy. A girl will be fine too." "I see." Said dad. "I would say so she looked weaker even if she wasn't sick." "Yeah I know dad that's why I worry for her. Oh and we just recently found out that Ocean is the next God." "Really?" said mom. "I would have never thought it would be him." "Yeah I know right?" Then everyone visited for awhile. " We will be staying here for 2 days and the ones that want to go back home or want to come down are going to meet us at noon at oceans place in the big room." "Oh well then. That's good."

2 days later it was finally time to meet everyone that wanted to go back. Before they went back, Makani and his family stopped by his house. "Hello big brother. So how did you and emerald do?" "We hit it off. Although she is a strange one you are right. But I can get used to it. She is what you call….what is that word? Unique. She is not like anyone else. She is beautiful and I want to say quirky I like her. I know I will never get bored with her around." "That's good to hear. So are mom and dad willing to take her in?" "Oh of course sure." Said mom. "Uh about that, I was thinking of renting to own a house for us. We were going to look tomorrow." "Oh good for you both I'm happy. I'm glad I got you two together?" "Oh hello Emerald." Said K0nane. "Oh hi emerald" said Makani. "What's going on?" said emerald." "Oh nothing Makani was just seeing if everything went ok. It's the day they are leave back to the ocean." "Oh that's right that's today. I'm staying here." "I figured. Well I guess I will see you all next time I come up to visit. I don't have long hours like poor Naia but she is pregnant now so I have to do what I can." "Yeah good luck brother. Who knows by the time Naia comes back we will have a kid or at least pregnant." "Haha I know right?" "Ok well see you all. Be good. OK brother?" "Yeah yeah." Then he left back to Oceans.

"Sorry we are back Nen." "Woah this is quite a few people. Uh are we swimming or going on boats this time. Is Tide here?" "No not right now." "Ok let me give him a call." "Hey Tide its Makani. Are you busy right now?" "No I'm on break whats up?" "Do you have time to come to Oceans? We might need quite a few boats. Don't worry I will pay you. This is quite a few people." "Ok sure. I'll let my captain know." They hung up and not long after Tide came over to see how many people there were.

"Wow you are right there are quite of few. Lets have them separate like before. Then we will know how many ships." Said Tide. "OK sure." "OK everyone. Lets have you separate between singles, couples and families with kids please." Nen said. Then it got kind of crowded then finally they were situated. "Ok that's better. Now I see most of you are families that is why its so big. We might have to have 2 boats for family and 2 more for singles and couples. I'll let the captain know. Oh and no need to rush on the payment ok? The captain said no rush." "Ok thanks." Then he went the call his captain to get the boats ready. So everyone went on the same boats that the last ones went on except 1 more whose name was captain Zen. Then they traveled out to the ocean and got to where they were, Makani and Nen discussed what would happen and they all jumped in and followed them to the goddess' Cave.

"Mom their here. Want me to help them?" "I'll be ok thank you Ocean." Makani came by to see How I was doing. "I'm doing fine. I may have a big belly right now but that is all." "Just take it easy." "I know that. Hi mom dad and kids." "Hi mom how are you doing?" said Grey. "I'm fine how was the surface?" "It was ok. I prefer here to help you with Kida." "Haha that figures. It's the type of guy you are. Can you help Nen and the butlers show the others to their rooms?" "Yeah mom I will." Said Ocean and Grey. "Good boys thanks." Then I went to sit down to rest.

Once everyone Is settled, I announced that whoever wanted to take in anyone can. There are more people with kids than anything. If you want to take them in then tomorrow meet me in the big room at noon thank you. Not long after I felt light headed so I had to sit down. "Sis! Sis are you ok?" "Yeah Nen I'm fine. Just a little lightheaded I'll be fine." "Are you still lightheaded?" "Yeah, maybe I should lay down. Nen can you take me to my room?" "Yes hang on." He put his stuff down and put her arm over his neck. "Thanks. Sorry I know I'm heavy." "Your not heavy you still as light as a feather maybe slightly heavy but that's because you got a baby in there." "Yeah your right. How is your girlfriend doing while being pregnant?" "Oh she is fine for now. She rests a lot." "That's good is anyone at home to take care of her?" "Oh yeah her brother and his wife are staying with us until she delivers." "Oh that's helpful." "Yeah." "Ok sis here you go. Try to get some rest ok?" "Yeah thanks." I ruffled his hair. "Hey sis. I'm going to be a father now. You know I don't like that." "Hehe I know. Be a good boy." "Whatever. Don't over due it sis love you." "Love you too. See you." "Yeah." Then I laid down and went to sleep.

Makani went to Naia's work to see how she was doing but only saw Nen. "Oh Hey Nen where is Naia?" "Oh she was feeling lightheaded to I took her to her room to lay down." "Ok thanks. I'll go see her." So he left.

He went quietly in the room and saw she was already asleep. He laid down next to her to take a nap himself and snuggled to her. She felt it then turned around and snuggled with him and they both fell asleep.

Couple hours later they both woke up. "How you feeling Naia?" "I'm feeling ok I guess. I don't feel lightheaded anymore." "That's good. Nen said to take the day off." "Yeah I think I should. How are the kids?" "Oh they are fine. Kida's been wanting to play with you." "Poor baby. I know I just haven't been up to it since I got pregnant. This one better be a boy to make it even." "Haha yeah well you will be happy either way." "Yeah I will."

8 months later the baby ended up a boy after all and he had white hair with light blue highlights did we named him Knight. The doctor gave me some medicine so it would help me not to get pregnant again. I have to take it for a month after that I don't need to take it anymore. I should be safe not to get pregnant anymore.

Everything up is so far working I haven't been hearing anything above lately. I decided to call Ocean to see how things are up there. I dialed his number.

"Hello?" "Oh Naia hey how is it?" "Good I had a little boy. We named him knight. He as white hair with light blue highlights." "Oh awesome. So what's up?" " I was just calling to see how things are up there. Any complaints?" "Actually no more than usual a lot of people were excited to have our kind up here to meet them." "Oh is that so?" "Yeah so recover quickly and come visit ok?" "I'll do what I can thanks Ocean." "Yeah no problem." Then we hung up.

"Hey Makani? I was thinking. Once I have a month of recovery, I want to go up and meet your sisters kids. They should have had their babies now. They weren't far off from me." "Yeah your right. I would love to meet them too. I have an idea when you go back to work and the next time you come up to visit someone let me know we can meet the kids for a few minutes before you go back to work." "Yeah good idea."

A month later she was all good and healed then she went back to work. "I'm good and healed now brother. I'm back to work. You have a day off. Go ahead and leave early today if you want." "But sis…." "No buts you have been working to much. I can see the circles under your eyes. Plus you have 2 boys at home." "Since you put it that way then fine. Just have a substitute take my place ok?" "I'll be fine brother." Then he left for home and I stayed to work.

I looked at the chart and smiled. "Well they look green. They seem quite happy now that they ended up on the surface. I'm glad. Everyone up here seems content as well." So I just decided to do some paperwork I'm a little behind on.

She fell asleep on her desk. Makani came to see how she was doing and saw her asleep on her desk. He chuckled. "Haha. Naia your going to have a back ache if you sleep like that." "Hmm. Makani?" "Haha yeah hang on your paper is stuck to your head. There you go." "Oh thanks. Sorry about you finding me like this not one of my best moments." "I know its all good. So how is everyone doing so far?" "Well everyone seems to be doing better since they have been to the surface and come down here. No blinking yet." "That's good to hear. Ok well good luck with work I just wanted to see how you were since you are back." "I'm good thanks. I gave Nen a few days off. He has two boys to take care of." "Yeah that's true. They were told she had a girl but ended up with two boys. Crazy right?" "Yeah well you have a couple little ones that need your attention so go take care of Kida and Knight. I'll be off work soon. I have to go to my parents house so have the kids come along." "Ok will do." So he left to tell the kids to get ready to go to grandma's house.
