In the inside of the house there was a big, light room padded by the bamboo. There were a table, a worktop which separated it with the kitchen, a bookcase, the armchairs and many magical accessories.

Maeve held Sinbad's hand as she led him through the room. The young captain took a quick look at the accommodation and followed the redhead through the wooden, winding stairs.

"Where are we going?" he asked curiously.

"To my bedroom." Maeve proclaimed.

"Very good idea…" Sinbad smirked, but the sorceress just rolled her eyes and slowly opened the door to her bedroom. It was also a very light and cozy place. The walls were bright, just like the curtains pendent on the two sides of the window and the bedclothes. There was one more thing which riveted Sinbad's attention. It was the wicker crib situated in the corner.

Maeve came closer to and inclining on it she said to aghast sailor.

"Come closer, please"

He got closer and looked into the cradle. He saw a cute, little child smiling at him. The baby had exquisite blue eyes and blond hair. Sinbad could not take his eyes from the most beautiful, little being he had ever seen. A smile automatically appeared on his face.

Maeve interrupted the moment with the words, "Captain Sinbad, let me introduce to you your daughter – Marina"

When he heard these words, all his strength left him immediately. He looked at the girl in the crib and then at Maeve with disbelief.

"What did you say?" he asked.

The sorceress chuckled and while she was taking the baby on her arms she pronounced, "I said that she is your daughter"

Sinbad had big mess in his mind at this moment. The bed was close enough so he collapsed on it and wiped his eyes. He took a deep breath, sat down and looked at the woman who was holding a child.

"My daughter? But how?" he gave a stupid question.

"You know, when woman and man…" Maeve started to explain ironically when he cut in.

"I know how it works but…" Sinbad stopped and they both laughed.

The captain looked again at his daughter. It was love at first sight and it seemed to be reciprocal. She was still smiling at her father.

The redheaded mom came closer to Sinbad and asked, "Do you want to hold her?"

She did not give him a chance to answer; she just passed him the girl.
He gently took her in his arms. He had never felt like this before. It was the best moment in his life.

Maeve was watching them with the smile and said, "Looks like someone is going to be daddy's little girl."

The crew was sitting with Master Dim-Dim by the round table in the small, beautiful garden. Red, yellow and pink roses surrounded them. The old wizard was telling his friends how he had arrived on that island, and why he had to bring Maeve there as well.

Bryn was listening to his stories with astonishment, and she impatiently was waiting for a good moment to ask the old man about her past.

"I found out that Rumina lost her powerful confidence after Maeve and Sinbad used The Gryphon's Egg against her. She found protection in her uncle's house…"

Dim- Dim was relating to the crew when Sinbad walked in carrying his daughter, "Brother, crew."

He applied to them and then everyone turn their eyes at him.

"I want you to meet my daughter – Marina" He introduced the little angel and thereby put everyone into a big shock.

Firouz opened his mouth to say something, but to everybody's amazement he did not say anything.

Bryn felt like someone had pushed a knife into her heart. She dropped the glass which she held in her hand and coerced herself to put on a smile. Rongar watched the girl carried by his captain, as well as Doubar who as first broke the silence. The big man stood up and moved towards Sinbad.

"Congratulations, Little Brother!" He said with gladness. The scientist and the mute followed the first mate and also came closer to the happy father and his baby.

"Just look at her, Doubar! She is beautiful and small. Look! She has such small hands, nose…" Excited Sinbad could not find the words to describe his daughter. His big brother giggled and nodded.

"Yes, she is beautiful" He clapped the infatuated man and whispered into his ear.

"You made your best." Doubar winked and his little brother and they both smiled.

Firouz exactly had watched the girl and said, "She has to be around eleven weeks that means that Maeve was…" Then the redhead went in and improved him.

"Marina is 12 weeks and it means that Rumina didn't want to kill ME on that horrible night!"

She was about to go and sit by the table when she saw Bryn. Both women looked at each other. In Maeve's eyes anger was apparent. Suddenly, all her bad memories came back and with them also the pain. She ran out hiding the tears.

"Maeve!" Sinbad yelled and made a step to go after her but Marina started crying, so he stopped to cuddle her.

Disorientated, Bryn, just like the rest of the crew just stood there; nobody knew what to say.

Finally Master Dim-Dim moved closer to the scared brunette, grabbed her hand and said first to Sinbad, "Maeve needs her own time. As for Marina, she needs to sleep."

Then the old man turned at Bryn, "And we need to talk. Come with me, my child."

He added and they both left.

Maeve sat on the beach and cried. Sinbad decided to go and talk with her after an hour had past. He knew that there was some stuff they had to talk about. He sat next to her and wanted to hold her but she stopped him.

"Don't touch me!" The redhead growled and he took his arms back.

"I guess, it's high time to talk…" He started uncertainly but she did not let him finish.

"You wanna talk?!? About what?!?" The sorceress exploded.

"I was trapped here!!! I was pregnant and desperate!!! And you?!?" She was yelling at him.

"You quickly found a way to cheer up!!!" She stood up and walked away but the captain energetically moved after her and grabbed her hand. She tried to break away but he did not let her.

"I understand your anger but Maeve! Please, let's talk…" he said with calm.

Sinbad was the only person who could influence his Celtic beauty. All her bad emotions went away and they sat down again. The young sailor took a deep breath. It was not going to be easy admitting to all the mistakes he had made during the last year. He still was holding her hand in his. He started confessing everything; she just sat there and watched him. How much he had changed since she last saw him? His face was full of worries which made her pity him. She knew it had not been her Sinbad with those girls.

He finished his confession with words, "There were many women and a few really close moments…"

She closed her eyes while he continued, "…but I have never, NEVER betrayed you. I couldn't!"

Maeve looked into Sinbad's eyes and she knew he did not lie to her. She believed that.

"I know…" The sorceress said and kissed her captain.

They kissed passionately.

Sinbad took off his shirt. Her hands explored his chest and his hands worked on her dress which was removed in a very next moment. He gently collapsed on top of her. They fell on the sand, still kissing with passion. He settled his body between her legs. They both were embraced by their desire. They forgot about the whole world and let their emotions carry them away.

In an hour later, the naked lovers were laying on the ground nestle in each other. Maeve softy kissed captain's lips.

"Sinbad?" she started.

"Yes, my love?" he reacted.

"Take me from this horrible island..."
