soon as Alton got home , with the blueberry tarts, Amleia could see his mood was differnt then when he had left. "Sweet heart whats wrong? " He explained to her all the pricipal had said. "I can't believe it! Why didnt you call me!" "What part of not need ing any stress didnt you understand?" She glared at him but she knew he was right. "This voyage will stessful enough...And I still dont want you doing it." "i'll be fine...we'll have four officers on bord." He took a deep breath but second geussed arguing with her.
Bethany was standing her parents door 'accidently' listening on there conversation. Sadly they had there fan running so she only herd parts of it she did manage to hear, "We could home school her Alton... I do have a teaching degree." "It would save us money..." The family was ten thousand dollers in debt. Bethanys ears droped Thankfully they owned there home and carriage and of course Amelia owned the Legacy. But Still times were hard. And now with the baby coming? how would they do it? "We can do it Alton.." "I know we can. We've been in worst no doubt. " she nuzzled close to him and closed her eyes. "call Beth in here please." She whispered. "Bethany!" 'Crap!' She walked away from the door quitely but ran back and opened there door. "Yeah?" "Come here sweet heart." Amelia said while patting the other side of the bed.
"im sorry mum.." "dont you worry about that , your father told me you won." Amelia smurked. "Yeahh... Oh that reminds me mum what did the Doctor say today?" "Uhh its just older people things dear needn't worry." "Oh okay." "right now you father and I have decided to home school you-" "Really?" "Well ofcourse that way theonly people you can beat up is your father and I." "Thanks mum! Thanks dad!" She hugged both but Amelia put one hand on her abdomen protectively. But Beth was so excited she didnt notice.
"Now go on to bed Beth we leave in two days." "Okay goodnight." After she left Alton changed into night clothes and got in bed beside of Amelia placeing his hand on her stomach. "I can't believe were having a baby.." "Me either.." She said smileing.
The next day Jim came back to drop them a visit since they left the very next day. "Hi Mister Arrow." Jim said just incase there was anyone other then the Arrows there. Butwhen he said , "Hello Jim."He knew it was safe to be casul. "Is Amelia around?" "I belveive she's in our study." "paperwork? " "Yes we're about to have a paparer work party...would you want to join?" Alton joked. "Eh...I think im good ... I've got my own.." Arrow laughed and Jim headed up the stairs. "Hiya Jim!" Bethnay's quite voice said as she went up to him." "Hey Beth. wheres you mom?" "Mum's in the study." "thanks Beth." He walked down the grand hallway to the last door and knocked. Everydoor in the house were double or french doors becasue of Alton.
"Captain?" "enter." He herd her accented voice say. He opened the door to see her sitting at the desk next to the bay window. "Ah Hello there James. " She said when she looked up from her stack of paper work. "Are you ready for tomorrow captin?" His bright blue eyes were bright with excitment. "that I am mister Hawkins its not every day I am asked to import rare jewels across the galaxy." "you don't think they'll be pirates...do you? What about Beth?" "Bethany is going with her mum anddad ofcourse and pirates Ha my dear boy this is a Navy Mission full of Navel personel." "Point well taken." She chuckled lighty "I'll be right back James." She excused her self to the restroom. Jim sat there looking around the large room. When his eye caught a paper on Amelia's desk..a bill. It read ten thousand dollers due. 'I didnt know they were in debt that bad... no wonder she took this mission so easily.' Her and altons pay for this trip would just about pay off what they owed.
Then Amelia came back. "would you like to stay for dinner James? Alton cooked." Amelia joked she could cook but..she didnt like to accually she hated it! "sure Amelia.' he laughed. And followed the good Captain down the stairs. The dinner as usual when Alton cooked was grand. Not with expenssive foods but still amazing. "Well you guys I'd love to stay but im gonna be spending the next three or four monts with you guys so I need to get home to mom."
"See you in the morning James." Amelia called as Bethany helped her father with dishes. After ward Alton came in to the bedroom he and his wife shared She was laying there dressed in a blue night gown and reading 'My sisters Keeper.' "Hunny do you think you should be reading such a sad story?" "why not?" "Well soon your emotions are going to um- well not right." "Oh Alton you worry way to much." He changed into his Pj's and slid next to her. Kissing the top of her head. she marked in her place placed the book in her suite case and got back into bed only sitting up and leaning against Alton."amelia you know they'll tell you out baby could have a weak heart."
Amelia pulled back and looked at him . she didnt know it when they married but found out they Alton had a very ill heart. He had lern to control. He was born with ahole in his heart and a heart murmer. It was why he never really yelled much only when he had to. "how much of a chance does our baby have of inheriting it Alton? 5,10, 20 percent chance?" "50.." Her eyes went wide , "thats no where near 10.." She mumbled laying back down on his could hear his heart it didnt beat normally due to the murmer. "Well if the baby is born with my heart , praying to God it doesn't , medicines nowa days are betetr than when they were with me."
"I think you do really well." "So good you didnt even notice." "Or the enitre Navy." He chckled. "why would you risk your health for something like that?" "I wanted to be in the Navy my entire life. So I wrote it down but passed the fitness test and here I am..and If I didnt I wouldnt have met you." "thats true.." She yawned . "Good night sweety." "Good night Alton , You two baby." And both feel fast asleep praying soon there worries would be over.
