    shower. Angel smiled as she watched Don interact with his human co-workers and friends, even though she couldn’t really see them since Don kept the screen aimed at himself. She couldn’t help but wonder how these people would react if they knew the truth about her. Occasionally, Angel would have to shift her weight as the baby moved within her swollen belly until Don’s desk chair was just too much for her and she bade him farewell. She logged out of his Skype account and slowly rose. Yes, it was time to swim in the cove. It was the one thing she could do to keep their daughter calm until Don came home. “I know little one,” she said to her belly, “you want your daddy. Well, he’ll be home soon enough. So, in the meantime, let’s go for a swim.” Angel waddled down to the cove, stripped off her clothes, and walked into the water until her tail morphed. She floated in the water as she looked at their home and smiled. Her mind wandered back to the day she knew she needed the Elder Council’s help. They had been married for over a year, with no child. Don had admitted when they first met that this was the key issue with this first wife early in their relationship. He felt bad that he couldn’t give Angel a child.

Their most senior member, Melpomene, said, “I understand there is one among you who wishes to address the Elder Council.” Angel looked around, then said, “I do.” “Come with me child.” Angel swam in, and saw the Elder Council, including her aunt and her mother waiting for her. Melpomene took her place and said in a soft voice, “What brings you to us?” Angel sighed. “I have been with my human husband for over a year now, and still, I have no child. He tells me he can give me no child but I feel he is wrong.” “Why do you feel this way child?” asked Melepomene. “I dream of Don holding our curly haired daughter. Please, I beg the Elder Council, help me give my husband the one thing he feels he cannot.” “We do not like to interfere with the lives of humans,” said Calliope “But he’s my mate!” cried Angel. “He’s all I ever wanted. Please, I know he will make a good father to our daughter. This is only the second time I’ve asked the Elder Council for anything.” “Third,” said Calliope in a sharp tone. “Or have you forgotten?” Angel paused for a moment. “I ...
