met a mermaid on a glass boat

Siren's condition wasn't lost on Chimera. He watched her daily as her belly swelled with his children. She had chosen to keep them, but he wondered if they would come out deformed. Monsters with two heads or their guts on the outside. Their parents had been siblings. He and Siren were siblings, cousins, lovers... He had been born half blind so he could only imagine what sort of monstrosities might be swimming around in Siren's belly. For her sake, he hoped that he was wrong, but there was some part of him that wanted to see what horrors he could make.

Coming across the sun spattered atrium, Chimera's gaze fell upon the sleeping form of his sweet, round sister. He stopped and stared at her resting frame for a long while, admiring the swell of her belly as it rose and fell with her breathing. Even full of puppies, she looked so pure and innocent. Siren was perfection in a tiny, fawn and caramel package.

Crossing the distance between them, Chimera gently and quietly lay down beside the pregnant woman. He stretched out his long length, curling it around the nest that she'd made in the roots of the ficus tree. A long sigh of content was released and he simply lay there, gazing upon the golden beauty before him. The rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves above illuminated her dainty form, making her look as ethereal as one could get.
