A time tested question, how do mermaids reproduce?

Well, Edmund C. Roberts managed to solve an ages old mystery.

The anatomical features of your basic female mermaid (Sea Maiden), while obviously and gloriously equipped for nursing, offer no hint as to how any postulated union of Sea Master (merman) and Sea Maiden (mermaid) is affected.

The following is an excerpt from Robert Kline’s novel The Forgotten Voyage of the HMS Baci in which Edmund Roberts and Dr. Gebeaux watch as a beautiful mermaid helps to answer just how they are able to reproduce.

The mermaid (Sea Maiden) moved her hands to just above her waist and deliberately and carefully pushed them downward against her tummy. The topmost edge of her lavender tail slid down, wherein she hooked her thumbs behind it and actually a bit inside, and further moved it down. She withered again, smiled briefly and then proceeded to reveal that the fleshy portion of her upper body actually extended under her lavender sheath of her fish-like lower half, until low and behold, unanswered questions became obvious. In exquisite detail she revealed herself to be more human in nature than any had dared to dream. Dr. Gebeaux whispered, “Unbelievable: homo sapien in all particulars.” Edmund C. attempted to avert his eyes. “Heaven above,” he marveled, “and apparently below, also,” he added after a pause.
