Life Is The Bubbles 6

I took Jack by the hand as we entered my house. My mom and dad were sitting at the kitchen table, a section of the newspaper in each of their hands. "Hey guys.." i smiled. They looked up and grinned at me, but the grin slowly turned bigger as they saw Jack's hand attached to mine, and then it turned to a full on smile when they saw what Jack looked like.
"Hey sweetheart! Who's your friend?" My mom asked with a smile in her voice.
"Guys..this is...my...boyfriend Jack." I say smiling up at Jack his cheeks slightly pink.
"Boyfriend?" my dad questioned trying to play the scary dad role but failed when his trying-to-look-mean face broke into the welcoming smile I loved so much. "Nice to meet you Jack." My dad says giving Jack a firm handshake.
"Nice to meet you to sir."
"Oh call me Ron, and this is Emma." he says introducing my mom. Jack kisses her cheek and my mom looks very pleased.
"Dad...I'm in trouble." I come out with it. My dad's face immediately becomes unfriendly.
"Are you pregnant?!" he hisses and glares at Jack.
"What!? NO!," his face changes back to a smile. "Do you know of a ... prince Will?"
Once again their happy faces turn into one of fear.
"W-why do you ask dear?" my mom mumbled while not meeting my eyes.
Anger over took me. I was convinced they had really set me up with him "BECAUSE! He just came and broke my eardrums with the most painful shriek I had ever heard, then said I was his fiance and PUT DOWN MY BOYFRIEND!" Both of them looked horrified.
"He came to you?" my mom whispered.
"Yes!"
"So Jack knows..." my dad asks
"Yes Jack knows I'm a mermaid. He also knows Belita is a fairy and you guys are mermaids to! He knew before Will came."
"Oh." they said at the same time.
"What going on!?" I exploded after a long moment of silence.
"We..we don't know. It's probably his stupid king of a father Alexandre. He is... picky. And Nixie your beautiful. Your voice is the most beautiful in the sea and you're a good person, someone Alexandre would be proud to have as a daughter in law and someone Will would love to be married to." My father explained.
"Well can't you stop them!? I don't want to marry Will! They can't make the decision for me!"
"Dear, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do...right Ron?" my mother comforted.
"Exactly."
"What are we going to do?" I whispered close to tears.
"Well...We are going to have to call Kaleb." my mom shrugged.
"Ugh, are you serious?" i groan, not my stupid overprotective big brother.
My dad was already on the phone with Kaleb explaining everything. I could hear Kaleb yelling about how he would kill anyone who laid an unwanted finger on me. After my dad pumped Kaleb up like a coach he hung up. Kaleb would be here in about 4 hours because he had to pack his bags and come home from the University. I sighed and put my face in my hands contemplating if I would go crazy by the end of this mess.
"You doing ok?" Jack whispered in my ear while my parents argued.
All I could answer was with a short grumble. He chuckled and rubbed my back reassuringly. "We'll get through this." he promised.
"If you're so sure."
"I am babe." he kissed my nose and i giggled. "You hungry?" he asked. I nodded realizing the sharp pain in my stomach. "Come on." he grabbed my hand. "It was nice to meet you." he smiled to my parents.
"You to jack. Be back in an hour or two to say hi to Kaleb." i nodded and followed Jack out the door. I took him to a small cafe and we had coffee and talked, forgetting our bad situation and just having a good time.
My phone rang and i flipped it open "Hello?"
"Is this the dork?"
"Hi kaleb." I groaned
"come to mom and dad's your big brother needs a big hug."
"Ya, ya ill be there soon." I rolled my eyes and motioned for Jack to follow me. We paid and started walking home. I groaned when I saw Kaleb's motorcycle in my parents driveway.
