    ... broken shell of a man who wants a second chance.” “Jason reminds me a lot of me before I met you.” “How so?” asked Angel as she looked at Don. Don took a deep breath, then said, “You know I was married before I met you. And I won’t lie, I loved Amy with my whole heart, and her rejection hurt me beyond words. Before I met you, I would have done anything to get her to give me a second chance.” “And now?” “And now I have you. You healed my broken heart, mended my wounded spirit, and gave me a reason to believe that my mission here on Earth wasn’t over yet. I mean, if someone had told me two and a half years ago I’d be weeks away from being a new father with a wonderful woman I would have thought they were crazy. Yet here I am, with my amazing mermaid wife, playing with my unborn daughter in her belly. I can’t begin to stress to you just how blessed I am to have you Angel, and how nothing will ever change that. Even if Amy walked through that door right now and begged me to take her back, I’d ask her to leave and never return.” Angel smiled.

I now understand why Grace and the others would disappear during this time. Can we talk about this later hon?” Don sighed. Angel had not wanted to talk about having their baby, as she didn’t know what to expect. “Sure baby. I’ll be in the bathroom. Holler if you need me.” Don padded into their bedroom, stripped down, walked into their bathroom, and turned the water on to their tub. Even though their home had a shower, and he used it during the week for work, he enjoyed relaxing in the large two-person tub. As the water filled, he reflected on how it was a moment in a bathtub that changed his life forever. The moment when he pulled Angel in for what he thought would be a chance for make-up sex, only to find out her real secret. Turning off the faucet, Don stepped into the warm water and sat back, closing his eyes. He reflected on how happy he was, and how much he was looking forward to the birth of their child. Don thought about how much he wanted to give his new daughter the world, and protect her from all potential harm, though the rational side of him knew better. He ...
