Thanks to who ever read and reviewed the last chapter! Its always funny to go check your stats and see how many views you've gotten. Hardly anybody reviews it thou. Ha, oh well. You guys asked me to update soon, so I will. I'm in the mood. (And my cousin is washing her hair, after she randomly left the bathroom with black hair, which was blonde.) I know the last one was really short, so here..enjoy just one more for now. Please review it, and I hope you like it. :)
It appeared that both Indy and Marion could not bear to hear him say those words. "I'm so sorry.." What the hell was he saying? Had he already given up on him? He knew the kid was fighting as much as he could, and so did Indy..but perhaps it was a good idea not to get anybody's hopes up so much.
Marion didn't respond to him though. She didn't say anything at all. Not even a tiny, small peap of emotion. Just nothing. It was horrible silence. Silence now that they were left all alone, although there were guards surrounding their area, just incase one of them tried to escape.
Another moment passed. And then another. Then one more moment, before Indy edged forward to her, slowly. "Marion?"
Through her teared eyes, she managed to look up at him. "Marion..are you alright?" He didn't know what to say at that point.
She looked at him like he had three heads. " Am I alright?" her voice was cold and shaky, something Indy had never heard before. It sent shivers down his spine. He heard her sniffle, then wipe her eyes, but the tears came back in a second's time anyway. "Am I alright?!"
Almost sounded like a sarcastic tone in her voice, although she was too distraught to show it more. She forced a laugh. It was a very difficult task to do. "You're asking me if I'm alright.." She looked back at her son, still keeping a very firm grip on him, then looked back up at Indy. "You actually have the fucking nerve to stand there and ask me that. You're trying to tell me my son is dead? And you ask me if I'm okay?"
A small sigh escaped from his mouth, as he leaned forward again, reaching for her. She refused.
He had to think for just a second, before bending down to the kid's level. He looked at him quickly, but he felt he couldn't. Turning his head to face Marion, he brushed one of her tears away. "Marion.."
She didn't look at him this time. She was in a daze, as she stared off at her son. Her darling son..her little baby boy. He was still so young. And he was all she had. He was the only man who hadn't let her down yet..
She wouldn't let him be gone.
"We tried everything. We really did. I tried. We just didn't do it in time. I'm really sorry, Marion."
He wasn't sure how he managed to say that. How in the hell did he just apologize to somebody, that he hadn't been able to save her son? There was this one time where Indiana Jones..had lost.
He didn't know how much he had lost, though.
"You don't understand..." She croaked, between sobs. It was almost like she wasn't crying. She was making it so silent. Probably because she didn't want to show Indy that she had given up yet, either.
"Yes I do."
"No, you don't, Indy. You really don't."
"I know how it feels to loose somebody. I've had my share o-"
"You don't get it, do you?!"
He immediately fell silent. "You just don't get it..You don't understand. He's all that I have."His mouth opened in response, but no sound made it out.
"I sent him to find you...I got him into this trouble. I shouldn't have made him go get you. It's all my fault...He's just a kid!"
Indy was unconsciously holding his breath.
"He's just a little boy! He's my little boy. Now, look at him! You're telling me I've lost him!"
"M-Marion..."
"Oh, shut up!" She finally forced herself to stand. She needed a second to find her balance though. "I can't believe I told him to go and find you! I told him you'd help him! I told him you'd help us!"
"Marion, pleas-"
"Once again, I made the mistake of thinking I could count on you! You should have known you were supposed to watch him for me. You shouldn't have let him come with you. You just..."
She stopped. Why did she stop?
"What, Marion?"
"I just..you. It's not fair. I had to loose the people I loved the most. The two people I loved more in my entire life! I thought maybe you'd changed a bit. But, maybe you'd be able to do something for me. After you left me with a ton of burdens on my shoulder."
"What burdens?"
She wouldn't really call Mutt a burden. After all, he was the most important thing in her life and he adored her equally. But, raising a child mostly on your own isn't a very easy task.
"A child."
Indy's mouth fell open so a second, and he closed it once he noticed. "What?"
"Oh, please, Indy. It isn't that hard!"
"What isn't?!"
She motioned over to Mutt. Indy still didn't understand. Through her tear streaked face, he was trying to find a sign..any sign, of what she meant. It was hard. She didn't have just one emotion plastered on her face. She had tons. It almost appeared that she wasn't that sad, although he knew it. She was just in a shock mode. It hadn't hit her yet, the fact that she didn't have a son anymore, because she simply wouldn't let it.
"Wha-." He stopped before he could finish. He understood it all now! And, he couldn't believe it. No, he wasn't a dad...was he? If he really was the father, then that meant that he had just gotten his son. And lost him in an instant.
"Y-you mean...he, Mutt. He.."
"Yes, Indy. He's your son."
Indy didn't know what to think.
"He's our son."
Woooo. Kinda short still, but whatever, its still an update right? Tell me what you think so far! What do you want to happen witth Mutt? Does it make you saadddd? :D bahhaa. Ok, happy reading amigos!
