Chapter 2
Father Meet Daughter

Ivy sat back and rubbed her temples in an attempt to calm herself. She sighed and took everything in. Her mother, aunt, and fellow team member had been taken captive by Blowhole and now their only hope was she could get her father to help her. That was all she had to do. Ask her father for help. She figured she wasn't going to like him so she would rescue her team and get out.

But what if I like him? What if he's nice? What if I want to stay with my dad? Ivy though as the auto pilot took her to New York City. She sighed in confusion and reached for her phone and hit the first speed dial. It rang several times as Ivy mumbled, "C'mon, pick up dammit!" finally on the last ring a groggy voice answered.

"Uhhh... Hullo?" a half asleep male voice answered

"How the hell were you still sleeping Justin?" Ivy exclaimed

"Why the hell are you awake Ivy?" Justin spat back

"Shut up, it's one in the afternoon!" Ivy replied

"Exactly! It's winter break. You should still be sleeping."

"Mom had me up early cause Beth came home today."

"Oh yea, how's Beth?"

"Good...well not really...that's what I called you about."

"This better be good. You woke me up 2 hours off schedule! Did she not take the news of you finding out about your newly discovered relationship well?"

"No, she took it fine but well..."

"...well what? C'mon Ivy, we're best friends. You can tell me anything." Ivy could hear his bed squeak as he sat up on the other end.

"Blowhole kidnapped her. Her and mom and Camille! They're gone and now I'm going to see my father. He's the only one who can help me get them back!"

Justin was silent for a moment, "Whoa. This was worth waking up early! So, when are you picking me up for your epic trip to see your pop?"

Ivy sighed, "I've already left. I love you Justin but you and I both know your left hook is like getting punched in the face by a Care Bear."

"Very funny Ivy." Justin growled, annoyance in his voice. Ivy giggled, she loved to mess with Justin.

"Look, I don't know how long I'll be gone so just look after everything here okay?"

"Sure thing Ives, just don't die."

"I'll do my best." Ivy smirked, Justin had the best sense of humor.

"You better or else you're grounded!" Justin chuckled

"'Kay Justin, whatever you say. But I better get off my phone and fly this baby!"

"See ya." then the line went dead.

The HQ was quite. Private and Kowalski sat in a corner working on their writing skills as Rico sat across from them sharpening an ax. Now Skipper was sipping some coffee as he looked at a newspaper. He pretended to just look at the pictures, when in fact he was reading the paper just fine. He didn't want his men to think he was too smart, or else they could end up like Manfredi and Johnson.

Kowalski held a book in his hand and leafed through the final pages he had left to read. It was Shakespeare, his favorite. Kowalski had to hold back tears at this point. It was the wedding scene from Much Ado About Nothing, Benedict and Beatrix were about to be wed and there love mad him think of his love. He missed Beth. He missed her starry blue eyes, her silky feathers and her sharp wit, terribly.

The tallest penguin was interrupted from his thoughts by a soft knock at the fishbowl entrance. It sounded exactly like Beth's knock so Kowalski raced up and shoved the bowl out of the way, only to come face to face with a female penguin...

Only she wasn't Beth. She looked like her, but it wasn't her. For one, she was much shorter, about Private's height, with sharp black and purple bangs, very skinny, but she had Beth's eyes.

"Umm..." Ivy stuttered, "Mr. Wilson?"

Skipper bolted up the latter to the fishbowl, threw Kowalski out of the way and climbed up so that he was face to face with Ivy.

"Umm, excuse me, are you Thomas 'Skipper' Wilson?" Ivy asked

Skipper paused, "Well that depends on who you are."

"I'm Ivy Beck and I'm pretty sure that I'm your daughter."

Sorry it took so long to update, for those of you who don't know my grandmother recently died so I decided to take a break from everything. Thank you all for understanding! Sorry this chapter was so short but the details were needed! See you all next time!
