Chapter 2: The Long Talk Brings a Surprise, Heading Down to the Docks

After a rather long shower, which I purposely had to force myself out of, I finally went to my and Lizzie's room to get dressed quickly; knowing that the longer I took the more worried and upset Lizzie would become. Once I was dressed I headed down the stairs and immediately went to the dining room to take a seat at the table where Lizzie was waiting with breakfast already made.

"I don't know why I'm bothering trying to tell you what I am considering that I know that you're not going to change your mind because you're stubborn." Lizzie said smiling though also sighing.

"Aw Lizzie I know I can be stubborn but I do care what you have to say, I've gotten a lot better at listening to your opinion on things." I said sweetly as I got up from my seat, went over to hers, and wrapped my arms around her neck sweetly.

"Yes love I know and it means a lot to me that you take my opinion more then you used to but the point is I know you won't take it this time…especially not after I tell you the good news." Lizzie sighed softly as she looked up at me with her big beautiful brown eyes.

"Good news? What good news?" I asked curiously as I rest my head gently on top of hers.

"Johnny… I'm pregnant." Lizzie said in a soft voice though smiling more and more when a look of pure joy came to me face.

"Really, when did you find out?" I asked curiously in a very happy and also very excited way.

"I found out the other day when I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling well, I'm not very far along so I don't know what gender the baby is but still." Lizzie said giving me the most beautiful smile.

"Lizzie this is great, I've always wanted a child and once I get back from fishing and looking for that ship we'll…" I started to say when Lizzie interrupted sweetly.

"That's just it though Johnny…I don't want you to go looking for the ship." Lizzie said sweetly as I stared at her in a very confused way.

"Sweetheart I don't understand, you do realize that even if I don't find the ship while I'm out that I'll still be rewarded and that if I do find one I'll be so rewarded that we'll be able to live a better life." I said sweetly before adding.

"Don't you want better life for our child?" I asked curiously not understanding why she wouldn't want me to go.

"Of course I want a better life for our child sweet heart and I admit that this would be a good way to get it but…" Lizzie said looking to the side as she trailed off embarrassedly.

"What sweet heart, what is it?" I asked lovingly as I kissed her sweetly.

"Never mind, you'll think I'm silly." Lizzie blushed with another of her sweet smile.

"Aw come on love you can tell me, I won't think you're silly." I promised with a loving smile.

"I just have a bad feeling that if you go look for that ship you won't come home and the feeling just won't go away no matter how hard I try to make it." Lizzie said looking up at me worriedly with those big brown eyes.

"Oh sweet heart I probably just got you worrying when I asked agent Michel if he and his man would give you the reward for finding the ships if something were to happen." I said sweetly feeling bad that I had caused Lizzie to become so worried about me.

"Well I admit I was more worried when you asked him that but I actually started worrying the moment Michel told you why he was here." Lizzie admitted sweetly.

"Please Jonathan I'm begging you, I just want you to go fishing like you usually do and when you come back you can tell agent Michel that you couldn't find anything." Lizzie added in a pleading way.

"Sweet heart I have to at least try to find the ship, I can't go down there go out fishing and not look now that I said I would." I said sweetly with a sigh wishing Lizzie would try to understand and worry less.

"I was afraid you would say that, I suppose there's no point in continuing to try to convince you to not go looking for a ship while you're out." Lizzie said with a sigh that broke my heart.

"Oh Lizzie I'm sorry, I wish that I could go back in time just a few minutes and stop myself from…" I started to say when to my surprise Lizzie interrupted by hugging me sweetly.

"Just try to be careful love and don't forget to take important things like some identification." Lizzie said hugging me with an understanding but never the less sad sniff.

"I promise to be careful love and don't worry; I have everything I need with me." I said hugging Lizzie back with a soft smile.

"Well not everything, there's one more thing you need." Lizzie said smiling a bit as I looked at her in a confused way.

"What that sweet heart…I thought I had everything.' I said feeling very confused as I tried to think of what I had forgotten.

"Here sweet heart, I want you to take this with you and wear it while you're out." Lizzie said handing me her favorite locket on its silver chain.

"Oh Lizzie, I can't take this with me; this is your favorite locket and I might…" I started to say in a surprised way before being sweetly interrupted.

"You won't lose it love, I know you won't; please take it…it'll keep you safe and at least this way you'll have a piece of me when you're away." Lizzie said in a pleading way as she held out the gold heart shaped locket on its silver chain for me to take.

"Thank you Lizzie, I promise to take good care of it." I said sweetly as I opened it out of curiosity seeing a gorgeous picture of Lizzie inside.

"You're welcome love but you better head down to the docks now, the men will start to worry if you don't get there soon" Lizzie said in a sweet but still clearly worried way.

"Alright I'm off then, try not to worry ok sweetie." I said kissing my dear sweet Lizzie before I finally left.

I felt slightly bad as I headed to the bus stop like I always did when I wanted to get to the docks because I knew that my poor Lizzie was sitting at our small house still worrying about me.

"Poor thing...maybe this wasn't such a good idea." I said to myself as I saw the bus slowly approaching in the distance.

"Then again if I can find a ship I'll be able to start a new life with her so I guess…'I started to add to myself when a honk from the bus, which had arrived without my noticing, woke me up from my daze.

"Hey Johnny are you getting on my bus or are ya gonna sit there and talk to yourself all day." Big Benny the bus driver from New Jersey, who had for some reason moved to this small town in New York, asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah sorry Benny I'm coming." I said with a chuckle as I got on the bus quickly so Benny didn't have to wait any longer.

"Good cause I was 'bout ta come put ya on the bus myself if ya didn't get on, you're the only company I got this early in the morning and I gotta rant ta someone you know." Benny said with a chuckle as I took my seat.

"Well I'm more then glad to let you talk while I listen." I chuckled with a smile as Benny pulled out from the bus stop.

"Normally I would say thank you for that but I actually got something I want you to explain." Benny said as I nodded already knowing what he was going to ask.

"You saw Agent Michel leaving my house, didn't you Benny?" I asked in a curious but knowing way.

"I sure did Johnny, the feds aren't giving you trouble are they?" Benny asked in genuinely worried way that touched me.

"No Benny he wasn't causing any trouble, here let me explain." I said kindly wanting to reassure my old friend and favorite bus driver as I slowly started to explain what had occurred.

"Wow Johnny that's one heck of a deal ya got going there but how you know that this Michel guy will keep his promise about giving ya the reward for finding the ship." Benny asked curiously.

"Actually, could you do me a favor now that you mention it?" I asked curiously as I shifted in my seat as we drove along.

"You want me ta sure your friend Agent Michel remembers his promise don't ya Johnny." Benny asked in a knowing way with a kind smile.

"Well yeah, but remember, only help if it looks like Michel has forgotten it." I said wanting to make sure that Benny only helped if it was necessary.

"Alright chief if that's what you want." Benny promised as he continued to drive.

"It is Benny and if you don't mind there's one more I'd like to ask you to do for me." I said politely as the docks became visible in the distance.

"I don't mind at all Johnny, you're like family to me and I'll do anything ta help ya." Benny said a smile as we got ever closer to the docks.

"I want you to promise me that if anything happens to me while I'm out looking for that ship that you'll help take care of Lizzie and my unborn child for me." I said softly as I clutched the locket around my neck in my hand.

"Well firstly I'd like ta congratulate ya man, secondly of course I'll do it but nothing is gonna happen to ya so I won't have to do it." Benny said patting me on the back as he stopped the bus and I got ready to leave.

"I hope you're right Benny but thanks for promising anyway." I said with a sigh as I slowly made my way out of the bus.

"Aw you're welcome Johnny, like I said you're like family to me but again I don't think ya need ta worry 'bout nothing." Benny said trying to make me feel better as I hopped off the bus.

"Thanks Benny that makes me feel a little better." I smiled as I sort of carelessly through the bag containing all my valuables, excluding Lizzie's locket which was staying around my neck, over my shoulder.

"You're welcome Johnny, try to relax okay…don't want the guy ta worry 'bout ya do ya?" Benny asked with a kind smile.

"Yeah you're right Benny, I just need to relax." I sighed earning a chuckle from Benny.

"Anyway I better get going or I'll start a panic because I showed up late for the first time." I said earning a kind smile and a nod before Benny drove away.

With that I headed down toward my boat The Guardian Angel and as I got closer I could see Michel and one of my guys talking to each other

"I better go see what they're talking about." I said to myself worriedly before I hurried a little more to get to my boat and wondering what the guys would say to me when I finally got done heading down to the docks.
