. Jane: Wait, what? You're a mermaid? Ruby: Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I wasn't sure how you'd react. Jane: That's not even the craziest part. How are you pregnant? You can't be pregnant, can you? Ruby: Actually, mermaids can get pregnant. I didn't plan for it to happen now, but it did. Jane: Oh my god, Ruby. We have to tell someone. Your parents, the school nurse, someone. Ruby: No, we can't do that. My parents would freak out and they might try to keep me from having the baby. And the school nurse wouldn't understand. You're the only one I can trust. Jane: But I don't know anything about raising a baby. We're just kids. Ruby: I know. But we'll figure it out. We'll do it together. Please, Jane. I need you. Jane: Okay. We'll do it together. But we have to tell someone eventually. We can't keep this a secret forever. Ruby: I know. But for now, I just need to focus on taking care of myself and the baby. And with you by my side, I know I can do it. Thank you, Jane. Thank you for being my friend.
