Not able to hold back any more, with the next contraction he pushed again, nearly letting out a roar as he could feel its head crowning. Now he understood why merbabies were usually born fin first...

Soon they'd be a family and suddenly the idea wasn't so absurd. After all, Ilita was his best friend. Why not spend the rest of his life with her?
He craned his neck to look at her. "Is the baby alright?"
