Chapter 9

She gave him a small smile and wave your hand back and forth slightly trying to play off what he had just said to her Lucy laughed nervously as she replied" I must be sea sick". She truly hope to that the sweet bear would buy her lie. With a sigh Bepo replied quietly "alright if you say so, but if you don't start feeling better soon and quit throwing up I will have to tell the captain. I mean there are a lot of really nasty diseases you could catch in the new world and I would just hate to have something happen you know because we are friends right"? Saying the last part with a big smile at this Lucy couldn't help but smile and giggles lightly with a quick nod off her head in agreement. But in truth some where deep inside of her she knew the truth and as the thoughts of it entered her mind her face begin to show worry. As if he could read her mind and know she was troubled he quickly chimed out "so what shall we play today cards, dice, or I could read you a story if you like"? At this Lucy raised her head up while placing her finger on her chin to think for a minute. Before happily replying "hmm... how about a game of hearts, I think I can beat you this time". At this Bepo quickly raise an eyebrow at her and replied "is that so, we'll just have to see about that". As they began to play their game the two of them continue to laughed and talk together. Sadly unknown to the two people inside the room someone in deed had heard their conversations. Law turned and continue to walk down the hall back to his operating room to continue his work. A very wicked smile spread across his face as he began to think of what he just overheard and could not help but whisper to himself "well now this should be truly fun".

(Law's p.o.v)

How boring... nothing more than just a broke leg, I swear I can't seem to find a decent patient occupy my time with. Oh well... guess I'll just go tell his captain and collect my pay. I know maybe I'll swing by and say good morning to Miss Lucy that's always a good source of fun. That's odd the door is cracked Bepo must have brought her her breakfast and it sounds like they're talking hmm. What!... did he just say she was sick? That can't be I just did blood work on her earlier this morning it all came out clean. Sea sickness well that's not unheard of for someone who has spent the whole life on land... My what a very interesting conversation indeed, but now I'm hurt... Miss Lucy's just why wouldn't you want him to tell me. Oh well I guess we'll talk later.

After about two hours and ten games of cards they heard a loud knock at the cabin door, as Bepo got up to answer the door and greeted his captain he looked back at Lucy and saw that she became very sad. As Law entered the room he playfully spoke "why good morning Miss Lucy are you feeling okay you look pale, I hope that you aren't getting sick"? Lucy's eyes widened quickly and shot towards Bepo in response to what he had just said. Law pretended that he did not see her reaction to what he had just said as he quickly turned around to face the white bear standing beside him and began to speak "Bepo I want you to tell the rest of the crew that will be arriving at a town shortly and that we will be going ashore". His playful smile only widened as he continued to talk his eyes shot back towards Lucy "I think the crew could use a few days rest to blow off some steam would do them good, that's all it going". With that the white bear sadly turned his eyes towards Lucy before replying in a quiet whisper "yes captain" as he left out of the room closing the door slowly behind him. When the door shut Lucy found herself all alone once again at the mercy of the man she truly despise. Nervously she found herself unable to look him in the eyes and she could hear him move closer to her as he took a seat on the foot of the bed. In the sweetest tone Lucy had ever heard Law commented "I guess that I must have done something to make you mad for you not even bother to reply to my greeting" at Lucy's head snapped up to look at Law. Who now had a fake look of hurt on his face, slowly moved around the bed and snuggled ever so gently to Lucy side. as he did this just Lucy became frightened because she never knew just what he would do .
