I walked into his room only to see him laying on his back his arms sprawled up over his head I thought he was asleep I backed up slowly the floor creaked and he turned his head to me sitting up I stopped moving as he came closer to me he grabbed my arm pulling me closer to him he kissed me forehead I smiled but it felt surreal he frowned pulling me even closer

"angel" he whispered and my body shuddered as I looked up "I want to make you feel better" I swallowed hard I knew what that meant

"rikard I---"

"I know" he said

he gently kissed me leading me back to the bed he picked me up laying me down on it placing his fore arms on either side of my head as he evened out his weight away from my stomach he slowly kissed along my jaw until there was no turning back

I woke up with my head on his chest and his fingers tracing slow comforting circles on my back I smiled as I felt the beating of his heart against my ear his chest rose higher as he yawned and I took that as an opportunity to shift around and look up at him he smiled down at me I smiled back snuggling back into his chest he continued to trace the circles

"how did I deserve someone like you?" he whispered causing me to smile

"you must have done something right pirate" I teased he chuckled at this

"I must have little one" he said as I fell asleep again

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

I woke up fully dressed wide awake and ... by myself? I sat up yawning I slipped out of bed walking out of the dorms up the stairs and onto deck we had come into port rikard had all the crew gathered around the mast I walked closer quietly I was in the mood to scare someone and that someone was Gero who by now was oblivious to the fact I was sneaking up behind him and he continued to listen closely to whatever rikard was saying I scanned him quickly no sword but I was ready to jump away at any moment as I stood on tippy toes brought my mouth close to his ear

"what cha doing"

I jumped back as he cried out in fright spinning on his heels to see me the crew snapped their attention to me and they chuckle I smiled at them

"what was that for?" pouted Gero earning another laugh s he rested a hand on his chest that was rising and falling quicker then usual

"payback" I voiced "no one scares me and gets away with it" he chuckled

"touche" he said smiling

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

I walked around a little I felt rikard near me most of the time as I walked down onto the beach of the beautiful little town who were so excited to finally have a visitor I smiled to myself as I recalled all the women coming up to rikard but were quickly disappointed when I came along I sighed as I sat down on the sand the tide was out and I watched as it washed up on the yellow sand I looked out on the water as the sun slowly began to set behind the water turning it's blue surface all different colours of reds and yellows I felt someone next to me I looked to see rikard I sighed happily

"I had thought I had travelled all around the world" I told him as he shifted closer to me on the beach "oh how wrong I have found myself to be" he chuckled and kissed my forehead

"lets go to bed" he whispered and I nodded

888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

rikard was talking to a few of the crew as I came closer I could just hear what he was saying

I'll have to take it up with angel go tell the others they nodded

I smiled knowing we were about to leave I turned back to the town as I felt warm arms wrap gently around my waist

"what are you thinking about?" he asked I smiled bigger and chose to say what was on my mind

"I'm thinking that I think I like it here" I told him and he smiled swaying me gently from side to side

"agreed" he said gently "I don't think it's a good idea to have the baby at sea maybe we could settle down for a little while" I smiled

"I think I would like that" he kissed my temple

"awww" the crew chorused but we ignored them

"and I think here's a perfect place" he whispered and I smiled

"so your agreeing with me on this one?"

"Don't I always?"

"ahh no" I said in a matter of fact tone

"well then" he said "I better start now then shouldn't I?"
