A special thanks goes to my beta-reader Jackie and to Joxer, Kas, Dolphinology and Sara for their nice Reviews.
@Joxer: you can believe me, you rock. Interesting kidney story. But in my imagination, it was just a simple car accident. Oh, thanks for the flower :- ). The little story that Bridger has told is really true. A really painful thing and I don't want to repeat it.
@Sara: Thanks for the "i"
Sorry that it took me so long with posting this chapter but I had a few problems with fanfiction.net.
Feedback is always welcome.
***************************************************************************
6 days later Lucas, was sitting beside the moon pool, throwing a ball to Darwin. Because of his plaster cast, he couldn't go into the water and swim with the dolphin.
Nathan Bridger stepped up beside the teenager. He wanted to speak with him today. He wanted to tell the truth. "Hey kiddo, how are you?"
Lucas turned around and looked at the Captain. "Oh hey, I'm fine. And you?"
"Me too." Nathan looked at his son. How should he begin? This was something he had often thought about in the last few days.
The teenager glanced questioningly at the captain. "Is something wrong?"
Bridger shook his head. "No, no. Everything is fine."
Darwin looked at the two most important people in his life. Humans could be so complicated! Dolphins were so much easier. Darwin decided to help these two and take matters into his own hands, or flippers. "Lucas like Robert!"
The computer genius turned around to the dolphin and lifted his eyebrows questioningly. "What do you mean, Darwin?"
"Lucas like Robert!" said the animal again. Now the teenager looked at Bridger. "Do you understand what he's saying?"
Captain Bridger understood what Darwin was saying. Dolphins really were able to look into the soul of a person.
Nathan took Lucas gently by the shoulder and walked with him away from the moon pool. "We need to talk..."
**************
A few moments later, they were in the captain's cabin and were sitting on his bunk. They nearly always sat there when they were talking to each other.
Nathan cleared his throat. "Alright Lucas... This whole thing isn't so easy for me. I've thought about it a long time and the best way I could tell you this." He took a little pause. "Do you remember the day when you showed me the picture of your mother?"
The teenager nodded. "Sure."
"Good. I didn't tell you this at the time, but I met your mother, years ago. Until that day, you showed me her picture, I hadn't known that Cynthia was your mother. I had never thought of any connection between you two."
"Why didn't you say anything when I showed you the picture?" asked the boy.
"I was a little bit overwhelmed and I had to clear my head first. And then the accident happened and I wanted to give you some time to recover from it."
The look on Lucas's face was getting more and more confused. "Captain, what are you trying to tell me?"
Nathan swallowed. "I - I was at that conference too..."
The teen's eyes were getting bigger. "Do you know who my father is?"
Bridger just nodded with his head.
"Who?" Asked Lucas, he had a nervous feeling in his stomach.
"I'm your father."
