Luna woke up to the feeling of some one rubbing her back, when she slowly openend her eyes Jake was sitting on the edge of the bunk rubbing his hand slowly over her back. Not wanting to leave the comfort of the bunk ( or the lack of it ) she got up and sat down on Jake's lap who throuw his arms around her and started rocking her like a baby.
" So how did you bad dream ended ? "
" Bad dream, I didn't dream "
" Luna you did, I could hear you talk about your steph dad and your brother, they way you felled betrayed by him. How you wish your Mom would leave your stephdad, that you miss your real dad and grandfather. And you wish He was back. Who do you mean with He? Your dad "
" I do not want to talk about it "
" Luna please, I am your man you can trust me "
" Jake please you already heard enough, you weren't supose to know this. "
" Luna Why not? "
" Because I don't want to bother you with this shit "
" Baby ... "
" Please Jake don't just please can we drop this please " She felled the tears in her eyes. He wasn;t suppose to know this she wanted him to tell this some where else, not on a boat.
" Just know that you can trust me "
" I know baby and I am gratefull for that "
" Ok now let's go. I made you breakfast "
Jake lift her up like she weight nothing. She knew she had lost some weight because well working on the bering sea takes a toll on you body. When there arrived in the galley everybody had already eating and was on deck. Luna hadn't noticed it yet but there where in Dutch offloading. She heard the guys running around on deck and she heard some one walking down the steps.
" Goodmorning Luna, did you sleep well ?"
" Good morning Phil, I slept good thanks " Jake had got up to get his dad some coffee and Phil had took his spot next to Luna, he tried to steal some toast from her plate but it didn't work. Luna slept him on the hand.
" Are you going to hit your Boss"
" I do when he steals my food "
Phil grabbed Luna in a head lock and messed up her hair. She just laughed and they had fun. Then Luna saw how a white envelop was on the table with her name writing on it. She regonized the hand writing, it was from her brother. She didn't know what this was about maybe the flight times or directions. Phil saw Luna looking at the letter.
" They just dropped it off as soon that with hitted the dock. It says on the back Luna's eyes only important "
" I will readed it in my bunk "
" You don't have to I will get back to my wheel house and Jake will be cleaning around here so no one will bother you "
Luna grabbed the letter and read it.
Dear baby sister,
If you read this letter it means you have hit the docks. Will you please call me?"
Luna ran up the stairs to ask if she could call, Phil looked up to her
" Can I help you Luna "
" My brother asked me if I could give him a call as soons as I read the letter can I ? "
" Sure I am going to town should I bring you anything ? "
" No thanks"
Luna Dialed the number and waited for the phone to be picked up. She treied to remember how much of a time diffrence there is when the phone is been picked up
" Chizoba loge Alex Speaking "
" Alex its your baby sister "
" LUNA! You got my letter how was it on the bering sea, are you oke, did Jake took good care of you ?"
" I'm ok and Jake took good care of me. Now why did I have to call you ?"
" Well I want to tell you that a plan ticket and everything is set for you. When you arrive in the states some one will join you flying down here "
" Do not tell me Satan will join me " " No Luna he will not join you because Satan and his son will no be here spending Christmas with us "
" Than who will join me "
" Some one we have missed for a long time "
" You mean.. no it can't be. Alex I dreamed about him is HE joining me ? "
" He has never been here and this is what he and Dad talked allot about. And he feels guilty that he has stepped out of our lives when we needed him, when mom needed him. He and dad were such close friends"
" I know Alex, I miss him "
" So do I. Are you ok with it "
" Of course I am ok with it Alex"
" Good give me a call when you stepp on the plane and I will take care of the rest "
" I will but it mide take a couple of days we have bad weather "
" Take your time just be here before Christmas "
" I will I love you Alex "
" I Love you to see you soon Bye "
" Bye "
Luna hung up the phone and stared out of the window for a while. She didn't heard Jake come up. He placed a cup of tea infront of her and just standed next to her watching all the emotions run across her face.
" Baby are you ok ?" Jake said while he slowly stepped towars her
" Can your dad miss you for a little while "
" Yes he can he is in town, why? "
" Because I need to tell my story "
And with those words Luna took a deep breath, this was it.
