Cait couldn't put off any longer. It was time to grab the shark by the tail and tell her parents of her engagement to Ty. She had thought long and hard about how to do it and the best way seemed to be that she tell her mother first and then tell Arthur.

She fully expected Arthur to go ballistic and be banished from Atlantis again. Of course that was if Arthur didn't lock her up and keep her under lock and key. No matter how it went it wouldn't end well. For a few moments she had thought about taking Pippi with her, but that would feel too much like cheating and Cait knew she would feel guilty afterward for manipulating Arthur.

Taking Ty along with her was totally out of the question. On a good day Ty had tenuous control over his powers. Around Arthur that control was almost non-existent. Ty already brought Atlantis to the surface and almost destroyed it in the process. This time she was sure Atlantis wouldn't survive.

Cait entered Atlantis with the usual fanfare (she hated it) and went to find her mother. Divide and conquer. Or at least divide and have an ally to keep Arthur from killing her.

"I see her everyday. She's dating now. I thought she would have introduced him to you at least by now."

"Perhaps she isn't serious about the young man." Mera paused. "It /is/ a young man?"

"Yes," Cait assured her mother. "I think she's afraid of Arthur's reaction since he's a surface dweller."

"Her choices do not have the same impact as yours," Mera said with some frankness. "And she both young and still foolish. I have hopes of both Ash and your father maturing in the near future."

Cait sighed. "I suppose Arthur needs to be told now."

"If you feel this is the time to tell him, then do so. Share your happiness." Mera squeezed her hand again. "If you'd like me to be with you when you do, I will."

Cait didn't think Arthur would share the happiness, but he deserved to know. "If you would I would appreciate it. It's not going to be easy."
