The little Mermaid and her prince

chapter 2

The next morning Eric woke up with Ariel snuggled into his chest. He smiles at this. "Oh Ariel, My sweet Ariel!" He says to himself mentally. He starts to run his fingers through her hair. Oh it was so soft and smelled like the ocean. Eric absolutely loved that. Eric continues to stare at his new bride. He couldn't believe she was all his and the night they had together had proved it. Sure it was a little bumpy and wasn't perfect but he didn't care. All he cared about was that Ariel was all his. After a while his lovely bride woke up. "Good morning Darling." She looks up and him and smiles. "Good morning Eric." She says as she leans in to kiss him. "So how did my wife sleep?" He asks as he continues to play with her beautiful red hair. "Oh Eric, I had the most wonderful dream. I had a dream that we had two beautiful children. One of them looked exactly like you and the other one looked exactly like me." She says excitedly. "Oh really? That sounds divine darling." He says as he kisses her. "You know we can make that happen if you want." Eric tells her. "Well I would love that, but I need to learn a little more about humans before we can do that. I just have so many questions! I mean how is a child born in the human world? What do I call my body parts? How does that thing we did last night have anything to do with having children? And what does......." Eric interrupted her. "Woah woah, Ariel, slow down now I can answer all your questions. Luckily I have a library on this ship. We can go through some books ok? Come on. Let's get dressed and go down and see what we can find ok?" He asked as he caressed her cheek. She gives him a big smile and hugs him. "Thanks Eric! You are the best!" She says. He kisses her head. "Anything for you Darling." They pull into a kiss. "Now let's see what we can find to wear." He says as he gets up and puts a bathrobe on. Then he walks to the wardrobe and opens it. Ariel sits up with the blanket held around her body. Eric first lays out a pair of underwear for both of them. Then he pulls out a pair of blue pants and a white puffy long sleeve shirt. "Eric?" Ariel asks. Eric looks over at Ariel. "Yes sweetheart?" Ariel stares at the underwear. "Why do we have to wear that?" She asks as she points to the underwear. "Well it protects your clothes from getting dirty. It's called underwear." He says as he turns back to the wardrobe. "Oh ok. Underwear." She says mostly to herself. Eric then picks out a casual black and blue dress for her. Lays out their clothes on the bed. "Is this one okay baby?" He asks as he holds it up. Ariel nods. Eric lays it on the bed. Eric then starts to put on his clothes. Ariel then gets up and starts to get dressed herself. Then one of the crew members knocks on the door. Ariel is scared by this, and scrambled to the bed and hid under the blankets. Eric couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He answered the door. "Your majesty, your breakfast is ready." The man says with two trays in his hands. "Oh why thank you. I'll take those." Eric says as he takes the trays from the crew member. The man bows and leaves. Eric takes the trays to the bed. Ariel was still under the covers. "Ariel, Sweetie, it's alright you can come out now." He says. She slowly comes out from underneath the covers. "Sorry I just didn't know that there would be anyone disturbing us during the honeymoon."  She says. "It's alright darling. Here. I have breakfast. He says as he sits one tray on her lap. "Oh good. Come to think of it I am kinda hungry." She says with a smile. Eric sits next to her on the bed. They both pull the cover off their trays. There was bacon and eggs and some orange juice. Ariel has never had these things before so she just stares at it for a moment to examine it. Eric noticed this. "Oh I forgot you guys don't eat the same things we do. Don't worry darling. Those yellow things are called eggs. They come from animals called chickens. They are quite good. Try one." He says as he points to the eggs. "They come from animals?" She asks. "Well yes, I can explain this more to you later just try it ok?" He asks politely. Ariel knows that Eric would never do anything to hurt her. So she decides to try it. Ariel nods and picks up her fork and eats a piece. Her eyes light up. "Mmmmmm This is fantastic!" She says as she starts to chow down on it. Eric laughs at this. "I'm glad you like it sweetheart." He starts to eat his breakfast too. Ariel then looks at the orange juice. Eric looks over at her again. "That is your drink. It's called orange juice. It is made from a fruit that grows on trees." Eric explained. Ariel smile. "Oh ok." She says as she takes a sip. "Mmmmmm this is yummy." She says as starts to drink it. Eric laughs again. "Did you get enough to eat sweetie? He asks. She nods. "Ok then I will take this and explain what it is later." He says taking the bacon off her plate. After they eat, they go down stairs to the ship's library. Eric pulls out a book about human biology. He helps her to read the book and explained what certain things meant. They sat down and read for hours. "Ok so let me get this straight. I have eggs inside of me?" Ariel asks. "Yes you do and I have seeds inside of me that help to fertilizer your eggs, and that's how children are created." Eric explained. "Wow! That's fascinating! So that's what you were doing last night?" She asked. Eric nods. "Wow! There is a lot more human stuff to learn than I thought. This is amazing!" She exclaimed. Eric smiles. "Oh Ariel you are one of a kind. I love you so much." He says as he takes her hand. Ariel blushes. "I love you too Eric." She says.   Then they start to study more. Eric eventually gets tired of teaching. "Ariel I think that's enough teaching for today." Ariel looks shocked. "But why? I have so many more questions." She says. "Well I'm sorry Ariel but your teacher is tired. I just need a break. We can start again tomorrow ok?" He asks politely. "Oh well ok, I guess that will be ok." She says kinda saddened by that statement. "Ariel, these books are not going anywhere. They will be right here on the shelf waiting for you tomorrow. Ok sweetie?" Eric says with a caring tone. Ariel then nods with a smile. "Great. I will mark our spot so we can start where we left off tomorrow." He says as he folds the corner of the page. Then he puts the book back on the shelf. "Thank you Eric." Ariel says as she runs and hugs him. "What for?" He asks with a confused look on his face. "For teaching me about your world. There are a lot of people out there who don't have patience to put up with me. Thank you for being so kind and patient with me." Eric smiles. "You're very welcome darling."  He says as he rubs her back. Ariel looks up at him. "Hey how about we practice doing that thing that we did last night?" Ariel volunteers. Eric smiles. "Are you sure? It can get kinda rough." He asks. She nods. "Yes Eric I want you to be able to do something you enjoy on this trip too." She says with a huge smile of her face. "Ok but only if you want to." Eric says with a concerned tone in his voice. "Oh Eric I really do." She said. Eric smiles and picks her up. He spins her around and pulls her into a kiss. Then he takes her back to the bedroom. They enter the room and Eric closes the door with his foot. Eric carefully throws her on the bed and crawls on top of her. Ariel giggles. Eric then begins to strip her of her clothes. Then she does the same thing with him. Then Eric starts to kiss her neck. "Mmmmmm....." She moans happily. "Is everything alright darling?" Eric asks. "Yes Eric, don't worry. I will scream if it hurts." She says as she caressed his face with her hand. "Ok but make sure you do. I don't want to hurt you again." Eric replied with a caring tone in his voice. Ariel nods. Eric begins to kiss her passionately. Ariel enjoys this. Soon they were both naked and were in a full out make out session. After a while Ariel gets tired. She could barely keep her eyes open. Eric noticed this. He pulls out of her and wraps them both up in the blankets. Then he cuddles her up against his chest. Then he grew tired himself and fell asleep.
