As they began their journey, Luv placed a pair of dark colored glasses onto her eyes and she looked at Deckard, "I'm going to run a quick scan and make sure I can tell my good friends where you're the weakest. That will make our work so much quicker," she said with a bright smile.
Ella looked at him as she listened the the sound of waves crashing below them and hoped Luv wouldn't turn the glasses onto her because their secret would quickly be revealed, if the baby had survived what they'd already been through.
Deckard looked back at her, his own eyes showing the same concerns. She saw him swallow and hated to seem him really afraid when it was all her fault.
"I might as well give you a once over too," Luv said after she finished looking at Deckard.
Ella's breath caught as she sat locked up, unable to avoid what was coming, as Luv locked her glasses on to her.
Just as Luv began her scan, she was interrupted by the sound of one of the ships providing them protection exploding. Ella and Deckard began trying to get out of their handcuffs while Luv spoke with their driver to get to the island before they were hit.
"It's Joe," Ella said as she looked at Deckard, "And he saved us in more ways then one," she added.
Deckard nodded, "I was terrified as she looked at you but I won't lie, it would have been nice to know the baby is ok."
"If we get out, steal her glasses and then you can look," she said with a devious smile as she worked with her aching muscles to free herself.
Neither could get any headway on their bonds before Joe hit their transport just enough to put it down without causing any injury. They crash landed into the water and skidded across to the land but the waves were fighting to pull the ship back to itself.
"We have to get out," Deckard said as he looked at Ella and then down at the floor where the water was starting to come through.
Luv opened the doors to get them to land but she was grabbed by Joe and the two disappeared into the water but the open doors caused the water to start to come in faster.
"Deckard," Ella said truly panicked for the first time, "How are we going to escape before the water gets too high?"
"Take deep breaths, Babe," he urged, "Panicking will only make this worse. Just keep trying to loosen your restraints. Your wrists are smaller," he added.
Ella took a few deep breaths as she began to work her hands to try and slide out of the handcuffs while the water grew higher and higher around them. She looked up while she worked and saw Luv coming back.
She sped up her work and with one more tug, she freed herself and just as Luv entered the ship, Ella lunged forward and pushed her underneath.
Luv found against her but Ella's anger plus the pregnancy made her stronger as she forced her to stay underwater until she was finally limp just as Joe swam into the ship.
"Get Deckard!" Ella yelled as she held her breath and submerged herself beneath the water to get the glasses Luv had used earlier. She grabbed them and then came up to see both men ready.
The three swam to shore through the angry waves and once they reached land, Ella's actions finally took their toll and she laid down on the ground regaining her breathing. Deckard bent over, grabbing his legs as he too got his breathing under control before he finally looked at Joe who was severely injured.
"Why didn't you let me die back there? I know that's what Freysa would have ordered if you found her," Deckard questioned as he made his way to Ella to check on her.
"You did die back there and now you two can join them and you can meet your daughter," Joe replied though his breathing was labored.
Deckard couldn't hide his surprise as he reached out his hand for Ella's, "Can you stand?"
She nodded as she grabbed his hand and stood, leaning against him once she was up, "I'll be fine by morning. It's the paralytic that's holding me back," she replied as she handed him the glasses, "Here, you can check now."
"Check what?" Joe asked, clutching his side.
Deckard looked at the young man, he knew he could trust him now as he put the glasses on, "She's pregnant but we don't know if the baby made it through today," he revealed as he turned back to look at Ella and he looked straight at her stomach as a large smile crossed his lips.
"Is the baby ok? Your face makes me think so but I sometimes can't read you," Ella said while Joe remained quiet to process the news.
Deckard nodded as he removed the glasses and pulled her into his arms, "After twenty-eight years of solitude, I'm getting another chance at a miracle along with a chance to reunite with my first. I know I've never said this in all the time we've been together, Ella but I love you and I'm so glad you broke into my home," he said as he wrapped her tightly in his arms.
Ella rested her head against his chest, wrapping her arms around him as she listened to his heartbeat, "I've said it every night when you fall asleep. I love you too."
