It was late warm evening the three cabin teens were sitting in the galley finishing up chores before they could sleep. Sea and Jim were creaking nuts for Jane so she could use them the next day for dinner. Still trying to figure out about her Jim decided to ask Sea about her life. "So uh Sea what about your parents?"
"My papa went missing nearly a year ago I lived with him until then." she said brushing back her golden hair. "what of ya mom... did she not have anythign to do with ya?" Jim asked thing of his father.
Just then sudden jerk of Sea's head and glare shottign from her deep brown eyes made him sorta regreat opening his mouth. "Dont you DARE talk about my mother!" she snapped and stood up grabbed her bucket and stomped over to the other end of the galley. Jim looked at Jane who had just finished her last dish amd placed it in the drying rack.
Jane came out from behind the stove the sttod in the middle of the cooking area and walked out to the mess hall where Sea was working. "Sea-seannah?" Jane asked gently touching the girl on the shoulder to notice she...was crying? Sea the same girl who was constantly at attention who looked and acted tough as concreat. "Jim didn't mean it."
"I know." She herd Sea whisper then herd her clear her throut and commenced in turning towards them. "I'm the one who should say sorry...you don't know." Jim walked over and sat near her. "know what?" He asked more easier this time. "M-my mother died when I was only five years old." Jim suddenly felt guilty. "her name was Katrina Savan Robertson Arrow. she and my father Alton Arrow married at 21 after meeting at eighteen my father was twenity one when I was born and my mother had barely turned 21. i'll tell you about her and my past." listened eargerly to the girl.
"Sea baby please come down off that window seat."Alton Arrow asked his daughter as she jumped around with the energy any three year old had. "But papa it's so bouncy!" "Sea.." he said warningly. Sea innored her fathers tone and jumped again causeing him to roll his eyes. But before he could say another word as Sea jumped up in the air again two arms got her from behind and held her close.
"I thought I herd your father tell you not to jump Seannah." Katrina Arrow said from behind her still squirming daughter. "But mommy it's so fun!" she pleaided looking into her mother soft hazel eyes. She to had the same golden hair as her daughter only her's curled more than Seannah's. "Why don't you go jump on your trampoline outside instead honey?"
"But I done wanna go out there by my self mom.." she said playing with a lock of her hair. Katrina look from Sea to her husband and he looked at her and sighed. "Alright we'll accompany you." He said picking up the paper work he'd been workign on for the Royal Navy .
Sea unlike most children her age had a good life. They lived in a large home with five bedroom three baths , upstairs that held the bedrooms and two of the baths her father's study other wise known as the library, then down stairs there was the great room where you walked into their home then you go left you'll meet the family room and a small hallway leading to the down stairs restroom. Go right you'll meet the kitchen and dining rooms. And Sea had no siblings so she got all the attention from both grandparents.
With her parents sitting in two lawn chairs on the patio the young girl went and tried to get on her trampoline alone as she was very independent or atleast tried to be. After four failed attempts she finally just gave up and looked to her father who was deep into his paper work.
"Papa!" she called and he instantly looked up. "Yes Seannah?" "I need your help." "What do you say Sea?" Katrina said looking to her daughter. "Uhhh ." She serched for the anwser. "Please?" "Alright im coming."
Once he was there she said , "I wantcha to throw me up their not lift." "Are you sure?" He asked as if it was dangerous. "Yes!" "..Alright here ... we...go." he said and lightly tosed her ont to the trampoline. She squiled and began doing an area of flips and jumps. Alton shook is head and smiled as he walked back to his wife. "Sassy one isn't she." Katrina mused as he sat back down looking for hhis paper work. "She is...have you seen-" "I am reading it." she smirked holding the paper higher for him to see. "Well is it apporved?" "...No it isn't ." He looked questionly at her. She grinned and put the paper down he got the message andkissed her. "Now...It's apporved. " he chuckled and went back to make sure he haddnt forgotten apart in the paper .
As Katrina went back to watching there daughter jump. "I can't wait." she started. "For what? " "for the adventures with her. watch her grow up become a woman and mother and so on." "Slow down Trina." "I dont want to slow down Alton. Life doesn't slow down."
She looked at her wedding ring. "Honey we're 24 years old with out lives ahead of us." "But don't wait for tomorrow Alton because we're not promised tomorrow." He looked at her as she stared off into space. "Hey." he said gently. "No matter what comes our way i'm here for you Trina." "I know Alton.. I know." She smiled and looked at him. "I think I'd best start dinner. "she said smileing and called for Sea. But she wasn't there. "what did she go? " "How did she get down is what I-oof!" Alton said as Sea came out of no where and tackled him to the ground due to him being in a plastic chair and she caught him off balance. "Ha! Gotcha!" "Yes.. you did Seannah." He began to laugh as Katrina ,who was also laughing, picked Sea up into her arms.
"Come now it's time for you to get a bath while I start dinner. " Katrina said warmly to her daughter. "Awh but mommy-" "No Buts missy." alton said dusting himself off from the leaves and other litters of the patio. With that he took a hand and led his wife and daughter into there large home.
