A/N: This chapter is a little short but I wanted to update. I already updated my other fanfiction (Severus Snape ... Jr.?) and I wanted to update this one too.
So I hope you like it! - looks hopeful -
Chapter 2: Natalie?
A few days later, Delbert and Amelia were having their normal morning banter over breakfast when the doorbell rang. Still chuckling from Delbert's comment ("Oh great! Another voyage request for the lovely, strict, magnificent, and deadly vicious Captain Amelia!"), Amelia got up to answer the door. Delbert was always teasing her about being loved and hated at the same time. He just couldn't understand how she could portray herself to be such an ice queen and yet she was always the one that people came to when they needed a captain.
With a natural smile on her face, Amelia reached the front door and opened it. Instantly, Amelia's expression turned from a happy, smiling and laughing one to one of shock and surprise.
Standing in front of her was a female human. She seemed to be in her early 20s but those who knew her knew differently. She was a bit taller than Amelia (without her boots). Her dirty blonde hair hung loosely just passed her shoulders and was partially in her face. She wore a navy spaghetti strap that displayed just enough cleavage to tempt anyone who saw her. Her black jeans hugged her hips just right and her black boots made her seem taller than she really was. She wore a silver necklace with a rose-shaped charm on it. Her entire out fit hugged her curves and fit her form perfectly. She looked at the astonished Amelia with her sapphire-blue eyes and put on a dazzling smile.
Amelia continued to stare and had to resort to holding on to the door frame to keep herself from falling over. She finally managed to choke out, "N-Natalie?" The woman chuckled at Amelia's stutter, knowing that only she could make Amelia stutter like that.
"Hi Mia," she said quietly. The two women stared at each other, one thrilled to know that she had finally found the woman she had been looking for; the other, amazed to find that she had been found. There was a short awkward silence, then Natalie stretched her arms towards the red head and Amelia rushed into her arms. They embraced for what seemed like an eternity but the pair just couldn't seem to get close enough to the other. Amelia pulled away slightly and looked at the woman who she hadn't seen for three whole years. She couldn't believe that it had been that long. She ran her right hand through Natalie's soft hair while her other hand held the other woman close to her.
Natalie pulled Amelia into another embrace and whispered in her ear, "I can't believe I found you. I heard that you got married and I thought that I had lost you forever … that I'd never see you again."
Amelia was saved from having to answer when Delbert came to the door asking, "Who's at the door, love?" Amelia jumped back and out of the embrace. She had completely forgotten about Delbert! Suddenly and without warning, she felt ripped in two. Seeing Delbert made her heart jump and do a little dance, but when she saw Natalie again … she felt almost complete.
Noticing that Amelia was off in La La Land, Natalie stepped forward and offered her hand to Delbert. "Hi. My name is Natalie. I'm an old friend of Amelia's." As she shook his hand, she released a smirk that made Delbert uneasy.
