In the fanfiction, their pregnancy could be a time of great change for the kingdom. The people might be excited and also a bit apprehensive. There could be a lot of celebration preparations. Ariel and Prince Eric could go on little adventures together during her pregnancy, like visiting special places in the kingdom that they want to share with their future child. They might also face some challenges, like dealing with any jealous or envious characters in the kingdom who don't like all the attention the royal couple is getting because of the pregnancy.
The fanfiction could explore Ariel's relationship with her family during this time. Her father, King Triton, might have mixed feelings. He could be happy for his daughter but also worried about the future of his underwater kingdom with a half - human, half - mermaid grandchild. Ariel might also seek advice from her sisters, who could offer their own unique perspectives on motherhood. Meanwhile, Prince Eric's family could be involved too, perhaps with his mother or an older relative giving advice on raising a royal heir.
One challenge could be the reactions of their families. Their families might have different expectations or concerns. Another could be the fear of the unknown, like potential problems during the pregnancy.
Their love could grow through shared anticipation. As they look forward to the arrival of their baby, they'll create new memories together. For example, they might spend evenings talking about their hopes for the child.
Ariel was a curious mermaid who often explored the surface world. One day, she saw Prince Eric and was smitten. She desired to be part of his world. With the help of her friends, she got a chance to meet Eric as a human. Eric was charmed by Ariel's beauty and innocence. However, Ursula's evil plot put their relationship in jeopardy. But Ariel's determination and Eric's growing love for her were strong. They fought against all odds. Eric recognized Ariel as the one he truly loved and they shared a beautiful wedding, symbolizing the union of their love and the two worlds they came from.
A plot could revolve around Prince Eric and Ariel having a misunderstanding. Ariel misinterprets something Eric does and runs away to the ocean again. Eric then has to go on a journey to find her and prove his love. He faces many challenges in the underwater world, which he's not used to, but his love for Ariel drives him forward.
One idea could be that Ariel and Prince Eric go on a journey to discover a new underwater kingdom together. This would involve Ariel showing Eric all the unique and magical creatures she knows, and Eric using his human knowledge to help them navigate any challenges they face along the way.
One plot idea could be that Ariel has some unique challenges during her pregnancy because she is a mermaid in a human world. For example, she might struggle with the differences in medical care. Another idea could be that Eric is overly protective and Ariel has to balance his protectiveness with her own desire for independence. They could also face some opposition from the kingdom's council who are not sure about having a half - human, half - mermaid heir.
He might be initially shocked. His eyes could widen and he might take a moment to process the news. Then, he would probably be overjoyed as he loves Ariel deeply.
Maybe the plot involves the baby getting kidnapped by an evil sea witch who wants to use the baby's unique heritage for her own dark purposes. Ariel and Eric then embark on a dangerous adventure to rescue their baby. Along the way, they meet various sea creatures and humans who either help or hinder them. In the end, they manage to save their baby through their combined strength and love.
Their relationship can be developed by showing them learning about each other's cultures more deeply. For example, Ariel can teach Eric more about the different species in the ocean, their languages, and their traditions. This would bring them closer as they understand each other's worlds better.
One of the most touching moments is when Ariel saves Eric from drowning. It shows her selfless love from the very start. Another is when Eric finally realizes that Ariel is the one he loves, even without her voice. It's a moment of pure connection.
