Hey everyone! Thanks for your reviews and advice. I'll try to put more
Lucas
(or any other characters I might use.) Well I hope you like it, it's a little different from what I've been writing so far.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Seaquest. I do not own this song either, It is "Because you Loved Me" By Celine Dion.
Warning: This is probably a sappy fic. It is a Bridger/Lucas paring. No Slash! It just points out the father/son relationship that I think Bridger and Lucas share.
Lucas laughed, as he looked the soaking wet Captain. Darwin was splashed him after Bridger told him he couldn't play today. "Oh, and you think is funny do you?" Bridger asked Lucas with mock anger.
"I think it's extremely funny! But that's what you get for saying no to fish-face here."
"Bridger Play!" said Darwin more insistent.
"I told you, I can't. I have work to do."
"Screw work." The dolphin replied. Bridger sat there staring at the dolphin, then at Lucas.
"I didn't teach him that!" Said the teenager, reading Bridgers expression.
"Well then who did?" He asked.
"Ummm.Ben?" Lucas said.
Bridger laughed. "You're the only one I can think of that uses that word."
"Well either way, Darwin's right, take a break. You've been working too hard lately."
Bridger sighed. "Ok, just let me get my wet suit on" He said and walked off.
Lucas remembered that he didn't like the captain when he first met him, but Lucas now thought of him as the father he never had. He did have a father, but his father didn't care, Bridger did.
Lucas was never truly happy until he met Bridger. He showed Lucas that there is someone who cares about him for who he is, not for his brains.
*For all the times you stood by me*
*For all the truth that you made me see*
*For all the joy you brought to my life*
*For all the wrong that you made right*
*For every dream you made come true*
*For all the love I found in you*
*You're the one who helped me up*
*Never let me fall*
Bridger came back wearing his wet suit and got in the moon pool. The dolphin wasted no time swimming up to him and dumping him with his snout.
"Bridger It!" It called and swam quickly away.
Bridger laughed and headed straight toward Lucas. Lucas gave a startled cry and dove under the water. Darwin swam by and let Lucas grab his dorsal fin, but instead of the dolphin leading him to safety he led Lucas right over to Bridger.
"Your it Lucas." He called.
"Thanks Fish-face." Lucas said sarcastically, but failing to hide a smile. Lucas liked it when Bridger took a break to play with him and Darwin. His real father never gave Lucas the time of day.
*You're the one who saw me through*
*Through it all*
*You were my strength when I was weak*
*You were my voice when I couldn't speak*
*You were my eyes when I couldn't see*
*You saw the best there was in me*
*Lifted me up when I couldn't reach*
*You gave me faith cause you believed*
*I'm everything I am because you love me* They played tag for about an hour when Bridger announced that he'd better get back to work.
"Coming with me Lucas?" Bridger asked and held out his hand to help Lucas out of the pool.
"Sure, if you don't mind having me around." Lucas said, taking Bridger's hand. Bridger was the only person that Lucas felt he could trust completely.
"Lucas, I never mind having you around. In fact, I like having you around. We'll just go get dried off and change first. I'll meet you at your quarters." He said and walked off again.
Lucas had never heard those words spoken to him before 'I like having you around'. Maybe they weren't that much to people who were used to feeling like they were loved, but to Lucas it meant the world. Just those small words made Lucas feel like the luckiest kid in the world.
*You gave me wings and made me fly*
*You touched my hand I could touch the sky*
*I lost my faith you brought it back to me*
*You said no star was out of reach*
*You stood by me and I stood tall*
*I had your love I had it all*
*I'm preying for each day you gave me*
*Maybe I don't know that much*
*But I know this much is true*
*I was blessed because I was, loved by you*
They had been working for a couple hours when Bridger suggested they go to the Mess to get something to eat.
"Wow Lucas! You are amazing! You got twice the amount of work done that I did." Bridger remarked.
"You really mean that? The part about me being amazing." Lucas could hardly believe it.
"Of course I do! You're the most amazing person I've ever met! Hasn't anyone ever said that to you before?"
Lucas dropped his head. "No. Nobody even pays any attention to me."
Bridger could barley believe what he was hearing from the boy. How could nobody pay attention to this brilliant, funny and sweet kid.
"What about your father." Bridger asked softly.
"Father? I don't even think I can call him that. The only time the man ever talks to me is to ask me for a favour!" Lucas voice was raised now, and Bridger could see him getting more upset. "I don't even know why I was brought into this world! Nobody even loves me!"
Bridger put a comforting hand on the young man's shoulder. "I do."
*You were my strength when I was weak*
*You were my voice when I couldn't speak*
*You were my eyes when I couldn't see*
*You saw the best there was in me *
*Lifted me up when I couldn't reach*
*You gave me faith cause you believed*
*I'm everything I am because you love me*
Lucas looked up at him, his eyes brimming with tears. It wasn't like Lucas to cry, but all his life he never thought it was possible for him to be loved. Until now.
"You do?"
Bridger bent down till he was eye-level with Lucas. "Lucas, listen to me. You are the most smart, funny and sweetest kid I've ever met, and I would be proud to have you for my son."
Lucas was struggling to fight back the tears. He didn't trust himself to talk so he just through his arms around Bridger and hugged him tightly.
Bridger was slightly surprised at first, but soon hugged the kid back just as tightly.
*You were always there for me*
*The tender wind that carried me*
*Light in the dark, shining and glowing to my eyes*
*You've been my inspiration*
*Through the lies you were the truth*
*My world is a better place because of you*
They broke the hug when O'Neil's voice came through the intercom."Captain to the bridge."
"I think that's you." Lucas informed Bridger.
Bridger laughed lightly. "I think that's me." He replied and got up to leave.
As he was walking away Lucas called out "Captain?" Bridger turned around. "Thanks."
Bridger smiled and walked on.
*You were my strength when I was weak*
*You were my voice when I couldn't speak*
*You were my eyes when I couldn't see*
*You saw the best there was in me*
*Lifted me up when I couldn't reach*
*You gave me faith cause you believed*
*I'm everything I am.*
Lucas smiled to himself. A smile that almost literally reached ear to ear. He was loved by someone. And he truly loved that someone back
*Because you loved me*
So what did you think? Good? Bad? Ok? Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions. ^_^
