Chapter 3

Ivy Wilson?

Skipper slammed the fishbowl over the hole faster than Ivy had time to react. He jumped down from the ladder and brushed his fins off on his sides. The other three penguins looked at each other with different expressions. Private looked a little more hurt than anything, Kowalski looked like he was thinking hard, and Rico seemed amused by the long strand of swear words Ivy was screaming above them.

"Do you think that was necessary Skippah? Couldn't we just have seen what she wanted?" Private asked

"She had Beth's eyes..." Kowalski whispered

" Wastard! Wackwass! Wouchewag!" Rico exclaimed, repeating what Ivy was still screaming

"Sorry Private, no can do, She's a Dane, here to get rid of me, take me away! Stop that Rico. Don't repeat her foul language. And what was that, Kowalski?"

Kowalski looked up and repeated, this time louder, "She has Beth''s eyes."

"Get Beth out of your mind. That's an order, lieutenant." Skipper said as he headed over to the kitchen.

"What are you doing, Skippah? Are you just going to leave her out there in the cold while screaming swear words?" Private asked as he followed his leader into the other area of their base.

"It's the only think I can do, Private." Skipper said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Excuse me Skipper, but if we leave her out there, she's going to attract attention!" Kowalski complained

Skipper groaned, he figured he should probably tell her to get lost. He pushed back the fishbowl and came face to face with the same penguin, but she was different. It looks as though she had been crying.

Ivy sniff and begged.,"Please, p-please let me in... I'm c-cold... a-and I have... a proposition."

"Which is?"

"Let me in and I'll tell you."

"No."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Please?"

"No."

"Let me in or else your sister is going to die."

"Why?"

"Blowhole."

Skipper moved out of the way so Ivy could jump down.

"Start at the very beginning." he commanded

"He attacked. He got Mom, Beth, and Camille. Some how he missed me."

"And who would this mom person be?" Skipper asked

"Jessica Beck"

Skipper flinched.

She had those perfect hips, that delicious Southern Belle voice, and the sharpest wit of anyone Skipper had ever met. The memories rushed back and made him weak in the knees. Kowalski ran behind his leader in case he passed out.

"Are you okay, Skipper?"

Skipper gave a shaky nod, but quickly regained his cool."I want a DNA test done right now, Kowalski. If She's mine and Jessica's kid, I want to know right now!"

Kowalski ran off to his lab.

"Rico! Get all our weapons together. Blowhole may attack at any moment. "

Rico did as he was told.

"What about me Skippah?" Private asked

"Keep her here. Under no circumstances may she leave. No one can know that she's here." Skipper said as he headed of to the kitchen and poured himself some fresh coffee.

Ivy growled and marched right over to Skipper, "She? I have a name! Look, I get you and my mom had a bad split or something, but you're still my dad an-"

"There's no proof that you're mine." Skipper hissed back. He started to walk away but Ivy stepped in front of him.

"What's you're problem? I'm still your guest! Just treat me with some respect, I'm not your prisoner!"

"You were never invited! I don't even want you here! Blowhole's gonna come after you and find you here! Do you think I want to have to deal with that right now? I just managed to get through a visit with my sister, and now she's been taken by my arch enemy! Can you blame me for being stressed! And this confusion with Jessica... and you... well I can't deal with it right now! Okay?"

Ivy nodded and slowly trudged back over to where Private was sitting and sat next to him in silence for a few moments. She then realized she didn't know this young penguin's name.

"I'm Ivy."

"Hello, I'm Private." he replied

"Nice to meet you." Ivy said quietly and she then began searching through her backpack until she found her diary and pen. She scribbled down an entry ask the other penguins did as Skipper commanded.

Ivy paused and looked up art Private, "Why do you think I'm not allowed to leave?"

"Well, Blowhole could come at any moment and snatch you away. If he did that without us tracking where he went, well... we would have no purpose to keep you here." Skipper butted in

"So I'm basically shark bate?"

"Technically, you'd be dolphin bate." Kowalski said as he reappeared into the room, "Now, open." he said and pulled out a Q-tip, Ivy stick out her tongue and Kowalski took a sample of her spit and then did the same for Skipper.

"I'll have the results momentarily."

Skipper nodded and began to pace back and forth by the door that lead to Kowalski's lab. Ivy's flippers began to shake. She didn't know if she should be excited or scared to find out if this man was really her father. She went back to writing in her journal until Kowalski appeared.

"There's no doubt about it. She's yours, Skipper."
