Maeve walked in to breakfast the next morning with a content smile on her face. Sinbad had crept in earlier that morning and, thinking she was still asleep, took the awake Lottie out.

"Morning" she smiled cheerfully.

"Hi mummy" chirped Lottie from behind a big stack of pancakes.

"I thought I'd let you sleep in, so I took Lottie out. I hope that's ok?" asked Sinbad nervously. Maeve smiled.

"Don't worry sailor. I know you did. You weren't exactly quiet!" she laughed.

"Sorry" he muttered as the crew laughed and exchanged winks.

"Ah, but neither were you" smiled Doubar mischievously. Maeve frowned.

"What do you mean?" she asked, knowing the smug look he wore.

"Did you have a visitor last night Maeve?" asked Firouz slyly. Sinbad blushed, as did Maeve.

"Only Sinbad" she said, keeping the worry bottled inside her.

"ONLY Sinbad eh?" repeated Doubar smugly. "You two made quite a racket. What on earth were you doing in there?"

"We, erm" blushed Maeve, looking horrified at Sinbad, he took the hint.

"We were just talking about the plan today. I mean, we were both really worried, so we talked about it. But we're ok now." he smiled, nodding at her.

"Yeah" breathed Maeve with a sigh of relief.

"We understand how worried you two must be" agreed Firouz.

"Yeah" Agreed Doubar. "It must be awful. But that doesn't explain why you were making so much noise." he winked. Maeve glanced at Sinbad again.

"I think we may have had a little too much to drink" he laughed.

"And Sinbad was being immature as always" giggled Maeve.

"Nothing new there then" agreed Doubar.

"Oi" smiled Sinbad.

"Don't worry Daddy" smiled Lottie. "I still love you"

"You're the only one then!" joked Maeve.

"No I'm not" stated Lottie adamantly. "Uncle Doubar loves him too"

"Yeah, I love my little brother" he grinned. "No matter how stubborn he is"

"And so does Mummy" grinned Lottie smiling at Maeve, almost daring her to deny it. Maeve was torn. She didn't want to upset Lottie, yet she didn't want to admit it in front of the crew. She turned to see Sinbad giving her a babyish, pleading face with big eyes, and Lottie gazing at her sadly.

"Of course I do" she smiled finally. "How could anybody not love that adorable face?" she smiled whilst pinching Sinbad's cheeks.

"Ow" moaned Sinbad, rubbing his cheek whilst the crew laughed.

"You know what" laughed Firouz. "I think I can guess why they were so noisy last night"

"Aye" agreed Doubar. "What a pair we have here!"
