Ariel was finally figuring out things in her life and the best part was she'd met someone.
She decided to call Else and talk with her. Else had more experience with well... everything than Ariel. Ariel couldn't think of anyone more perfect to talk to. She didn't want to mess this up now that Hook and her were over she needed to know where to go from here.
Else agreed to come over and talk with her. Ariel was thrilled she even got them lunch at the diner. She went back to her room on the ship singing to herself and smiling.

Else proceeded onto the deck of the ship. "Ariel?" She called. Didn't seem to be above deck. She went below, pausing briefly at the Captain's Cabin. She brought her hand up to knock. She remembered what happened LAST TIME she came when she was not expected. But perhaps he knew EXACTLY where Ariel was on vessel. It was a decent sized ship to wander...
Against her better judgment, she knocked. "Captain Jones?" She called.

Hook was looking over some books he'd found in the library, studying them, this world was certainly different. Then there was Else's voice somewhere above deck. He smiled to himself and hopped up the steps.
"Hello Love, " He grinned as he made it upstairs ," Just can't stay away is that it?"

"Cool it, Romeo." Else said, looking around. "I'm actually here for Ariel..." She frowned as the Pirate raised a dark eyebrow, mischievous amusement in his grin. "...FOR LUNCH. She said she needed to talk to me about something. Something important."
She then turned on her heeled boot. "Speaking of which... I know it was YOU who tipped off my husband as to my whereabouts on Valentine's Day, and I just want to say...thank you." She played with her hair, dreamily, remembering that perfect night... and how it blissfully melted into four-day voyage out in the Bay, spent with the young couple re-acquainting themselves with one another... in EVERY way...
"We ah... came to an agreement..." She said, trying to stifle the smirk playing on her lips, her cheeks getting red. "So thank you, yet again, Captain, for setting me back on track towards a happy ending."

"Happy Endings are what I'm all about, Love" He winked
though secretly he was a bit disappointed, he certainly enjoyed Else's company... and Ariel... she waned her distance from him. He could imagine why, but it left him wanting...
"Well, don't let me stop you" He shrugged, trying to shirk off any annoyance he may have of all these 'women' taking over his ship, first Cora, then Ariel and now apparently Else. He turned and started down the steps," I'll be in my cabin if you need anything, rum or... well, that's all that's left I suppose..."

Ariel heard voices coming from above deck and figured Else was here. She made her way above deck.
"Else you made it." She smiled. "I am so happy! I got us lunch come on." She took her arm and led her down to the deck Ariel had turned into her room. Ariel had finally found a bit of peace with Hook. They weren't sleeping together or screaming at each other. They were civil at least right now.
"How have you been?" She asked.

Else smiled brightly. "I been... quite amazing, actually." She gave a laugh. Oh GODS it felt like she was glowing inside. Everything was starting to feel right: Hans, the pregnancy, meeting new people...
"What about you?" Else asked. "I heard you were SINGING with a band somewhere..."

"Yes, at the club where we had Ladies night at least a few nights a week. I do love it though. I am so happy for you Else your glowing!" Ariel told her smiling.
"Are you hungry? I got a few sandwiches from Grannies for us." Ariel told her she had a table set up with food.
"I called you because of what you told me that day... and well I met someone."

"Thank you Ariel..." Else smiled warmly. "I guess it's true what they say about a pregnant woman..." Else wasn't offended when the comment seemed to fall to the wayside. The mermaid had something pressing on her mind.
"Oh, thanks, hon." She accepted one of the sandwiches. Else went for the pickle first. It just sounded good. And so did ice cream. Good gods, it was FAR to early for pregnancy cravings, what was WRONG with her???
Then Ariel finally revealed what was truly on her mind. "Someone?" Else asked, eyes widening with interest. "And who might that be?"

Else and Ariel were down in one of the bunks... he was lying to himself, saying he wasn't interested in the slightest about what they were chatting about. It wasn't like it would be about them.. right?
No... dammit it this was so juvenile, but it was his ship wasn't it? If he wanted to barge into that room and monitor their very conversation he had the right to! Which is why he stood quietly outside their door fearing his breath would be enough to tip the ladies off

"His name is Jefferson he has a daughter named Grace. He is truly a Gentlemen I have never met anyone like him."
Ariel remembered hearing pregnancy before "Else your going to have a baby? How exciting!" Ariel smiled at her.
"When? How long do these things take?" She asked truth was Ariel knew little of babies.

"Oh...he sounds wonderful." Else said, but then was startled at how Ariel quickly changed the subject back to Else. "Uh...Yes. Yes it is exciting. It will take a little under nine months... but I wanna know more about this Jefferson character." Else crossed her legs, sitting attentively towards the mermaid. "It sounds like you really like him. Where did you meet?"

Jefferson...?Who the bloody hell was that? The man from the beach right?
He leaned in against the door, careful not to miss another word, he had only met this man for a moment before... now he'd hear what Ariel thought of him.

"Well we met actually in Belle's hospital room first for a few moments anyway. Then I met his daughter and him at the docks. His daughter invited me to spend the day with them. So we went to the beach. We had lunch and I made necklaces out of shells. Else, he is so nice a perfect gentleman in every way. He is sweet, kind, handsome and he is a wonderful father." Ariel smiled remembering how sweet he was with his daughter.
"The thing is I don't know how to do a relationship, I mean what I had with Hook wasn't even close. He didn't care about me not the way I cared about him." Ariel stopped for a moment, she wasn't still in love with Hook was she? She didn't think so no she was moving on.
"Also how do I even do this Jefferson is so not like Hook, he would never take advantage of a women or do anything without asking first. I have no idea what to do if I screw this up I will hate myself." She felt actually better just talking to Else. Else was smart if anyone could give her advice it was her.

"I think the best thing would to be YOURSELF, Ariel." Else laughed. "Don't over think it. Obviously the man was drawn TO you... so continue on that road. You like music, let him know that... maybe he might come and hear you sing. Ask what he likes and engage him on that level as well."
The man truly did sound wonderful, but Else was amused at why Ariel was eating up her advice so. Else was very limited in attracting men... her marriage had been arranged by Rumpelstiltskin and her ALMOST marriage to the sorcerer only occured because Else had been put under a spell. All the young men in her village had tried to trick her into their beds; but she wouldn't budge. Only Sally's fake memories supplied her with tidbits about attracting Fletcher during highschool.
