Chapter thirty-two: Sacrifice
"Nathan no!" Lynn cried as visions of her dream came back to her. This couldn't be happening she thought...She couldn't lose Jack just when everything seemed to being going right for them. Nathan turned to her, a look of pure evil in his eyes that allmost made her flinch.
"NO! I did nothing but love you...And what did you do after we were finally engaged? You faked your own death. You think I'm crazy... a psycho? This is what you made me!" Lynn was shocked. She opened her mouth to speak but no words would come out.
"I didn't..." she finally managed.
"Don't! Don't say anything. I'm going to clean up this mess you made. We can start over, the way we were supposed to. Without him and his bastard daughter." Without further hesetation Nathan pulled the trigger.
All the sounds combined...The gunshot, Lynn's screaming, the baby crying. It created a white kind of silence.
Jack's eyes went wide...Will didn't hesitate. As Nathan was shocked by what he had done Will launched at him and pried the gun from his hand. Jack kneeled by aunt Rachel. She had saved his life jumping in the line of fire just in time. Annamaria took Frankie over from Lynn so the woman could check on her aunt.
"Aunt Rachel?" Lynn whimpered as she raised the woman's head and placed it in her lap. The older woman smiled as she looked up at her niece.
"Oh dear... That was rather, stupid of me wasn't it?" she asked as the colour slowly drained from her face.
"Why did you do that?" Lynn asked.
"Oh sweetie. Frankie needs both you and Jack, I don't have anybody who needs me...It just seemed like the right thing." The woman said, still smiling.
"Didn't think it would hurt this much though." She said. She removed her hand from the wound in her abdomen and whimpered when she saw the blood oozing from the wound. Lynn looked away from the wound.
"I need you."
"You need Jack more sweetheart."
"You were the only family I had left, beside Frankie." Aunt Rachel frowned. It was getting harder and harder for her to speak.
"You've got family. You've got Will and Annamaria. And your other friends." She turned to Jack.
"And Jack. He's family to aren't you my boy?" Jack grinned and nodded.
"Besides...he owes me now don't you?" Again Jack nodded.
"Do me a favor lad... Promise me you'll always be there for my little Rosalynn and your daughter."
"I promise." The woman smiled before she slowly drifted of.
Frankie cried louder then ever when Lynn closed her aunts eyes. Jack wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forhead.
"I'm sorry love." He whispered. Lynn sniffled and looked up at him.
"Do you think we can give her a sailors funural?" Lynn asked softly.
"Sure love."
"Are you awake?" Jack asked as he rolled and wrapped his arm around Lynn's waist. Lynn sighed.
"Hmm?"
"Are you awake?" Jack asked as he started nuzzling Lynn's neck. Lynn squealed and chuckled as she turned to face her husband.
"You're terrible. If it isn't the baby that's keeping me awake all night it's you."
"You like it." Jack grinned as he captures Lynn's lips with his. Lynn smiled as she returned his kiss.
"Yeah I like it."
"Jack?" Lynn asked as she broke the kiss.
"Yeah love?" he asked as he began unbuttoning her shirt.
"Do you ever regret not going after my dad's treasure?" Jack smiled.
"I got your father's treasure right here." Suddenly the door bursted open and a little girl about four years old with dark brown curly hair entered. Jack quickly pulled the covers over him and Lynn.
"Hey sweetie." Lynn smiled as she quickly buttoned up under the covers. Frankie grinned as she climbed into the big bed between her mother and father.
"Couldn't sleep?" Jack asked as he moved over for his daughter. The girl didn't answer...she just had a mischievous grin on her face. Not much later the door flew open and Annamaria stormed in carrying her son Taylor.
"Look what your daughter did to my son!" the woman shrieked as she motioned to the clothing the little boy was wearing.
"We were playing dress up." Frankie said to explain why Taylor was wearing a dress.
"I found him tied to a chair and I'm sure that if you check your daughters pockets you'll find some of the toy's Will made for him." Jack grinned as he fished the toys out of Frankie's pockets.
"She takes after her father." Lynn smiled as she handed the toys over to Annamaria.
"Girls will be girls." Jack said as he looked at young Taylor and burst into a fit of laughter.
"I feel sorry for you Lynn, you don't just have a daughter to raise...but a husband as well!" with that Annamaria stormed out of the cabin. Jack was still laughing when Lynn looked at him with a stern look.
"What...it was funny." Jack stated. He turned to his daughter and began tickling the girl.
"Ye little menace."
"That little menace should be in bed. Now go on sweetie." Frankie pouted but finally gave in when Lynn warned her that the little girl didn't want to be in here while she punished her daddy. When the door closed Lynn turned to Jack.
"What are you going to do?" Jack asked with a grinn as Lynn crawled on top of him straddling his hips.
"Finish what you started."
"I love you." Jack muttered as Lynn leaned in spreading kisses over his bare chest.
"I love you to."
"AAAARGH!" Nathan growled as he trew his mug of God knows what in the corner of his cell.
"Hey you!" the guard said to get his attention. Nathan looked up at the soldier.
"What do you want?"
"You've got a visitor." Nathan stared as a figure stepped out of the shadow.
"You?" he gasped. Elizabeth grinned.
"Yes me."
The END.
A/N: That's it for 'More then Meets the Eye'. Sorry for the open ending but it was kind of necessary cause there will be a sequal witha grown Frankie as one of the main characters. So if you want to know what Elizabeth was doing visiting Nathan you should keep an eye out for the sequal.
Thanks everybody who reviewed. You're the best!
