A/N: Wow so here we go... THIS IS NOT THE END. Just let me say that right now, although you will be able to gather towards the end of this chapter that this story is not over! Because there is still so much more to write after this.

I have of course been reading all your reviews (which I love) and know how you feel about whether or not I would kill Kendall or James or both... So here we go. Here are your answers (some of them anway).

Enjoy! and review! x

P.S This story gets me so emotional. It's insane. Even though it's my own work and I know what's going to happen I still find myself having a little tear here and there. I'm crazy.

Oh and you will understand the title of the chapter "The Pirate King" within, it does make sense, and the way in which it was brought about had me choking up.

Chapter 15 - The Pirate King.

Logan P.O.V

"Dr Mitchell..." The man begins to say, voice full of pain and sorrow.

Logan doesn't dare look up into his eyes. His voice says it all.

"Dr Mitchell my name is Paul and you have listen to me, we have to move fast"

Logan snaps his head up, heart beginning to fill with hope.

"They're not dead?" He whispers, beginning to cry harder but now with happiness as he lies protectively over Kendall and James' bodies.

"Dr Mitchell wait..." Paul says sadly, "One of them... one of them hasn't made it. Which one is your son?"

Logan begins to feel his heart being torn in two; it is being ripped apart by an uncontrollable force of nature that has set its plan to destroy Logan's life. What has Logan ever done wrong? Hasn't he lived his life with sincerity, love and care for others? He almost doesn't want to answer Paul, afraid of what answers the man will hold.

As Logan stares at the two boys on the ground, vision blurry from tears he realised that fate was providing him with a choice; James or Kendall? Not that it was his choice to make. Immediately he thinks the dead boy must be Kendall, as he is the one who intended to end his life and Logan can clearly see the bloody wounds on the blonde boy's wrists but then his mind begins to wonder the other possibility. James has been out here for hours in nothing but a thin t-shirt, his jacket on Kendall and it is clear James had applied immediate forms of first aid on Kendall as Logan doesn't fail to notice the make shift bandages tied tightly around Kendall's wrists. So what if... what if Kendall has lost a lot of blood but body is holding on and James' body went into a state of shock, having no other solution but to shut down? Logan has read medical cases such as these before, were men and women could die in mere hours if they are trapped in conditions in which they are not will equipped. So who is it, Kendall or James?

"Logan, which one of these boys is your son?" Paul asks again, breaking Logan out of his trance.

Logan's throat is dry, hoarse and it is almost impossible to form words at this stage, but he manages to say, "Kendall, this one"

Logan then holds Kendall's icy cold hands in his own, signally to Paul which one Kendall is.

"Oh Logan..." Paul says with a heavy heart, placing one hand on Logan's shoulder. "I'm afraid... Kendall hasn't made it. I'm so sorry, Kendall is dead"

Kendall is dead...

An excruciating pain begins to pound on Logan's chest and he feels as if his vision is going black. He can't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. He won't believe it.

"No" Logan says in barely a whisper. "No... He can't be... He's not... I don't... No."

"I'm so sorry" Paul says again, squeezing Logan's shoulder tightly. "But Logan, James is still alive and we must save him"

A small wave of relief washes over Logan briefly at hearing that James is still alive but once his brain has registered that James will now be ok his heart switches back to the cold, dead blonde boy he loves so much who's hand is limp and lifeless within his own.

Logan notices Paul lifting a lifeless James into his arms and wrapping the two of them in a blanket. Being a Doctor Logan knows the procedure to treat hypothermia, that body to body heat is the fastest way to treat a victim and until they get more help from the rest of the search and rescue team there isn't much else they can do for James at the minute.

Logan shifts his position slightly so that he is sitting behind Kendall and lifts his son's body up so it feels as if Kendall is almost cradled in his arms.

"Kendall Kendall Kendall" He whispers as he begins to rock back and forth. "Please don't do this to me. You didn't even say goodbye." There is undeniable hurt in Logan's voice but there is no resentment for what Kendall has done.

"You'll always be my son Kendall" Logan says as he begins to cry. "You know, when I first met your Mother at the hospital I knew she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen, it wasn't long until I was completely head over heels for her. She was caring, loving, smart, kind, beautiful... she was everything, and she still is. I'll never forget the day she nervously asked me if I wanted to meet her kids. At first I was hesitant, I was still young and children seemed completely out of the picture for me at that stage, I was only an intern and your Mum was already a surgeon. You know, you and James reminded me a lot of me and your Mother. I knew instantly she was older than me but it didn't matter, my heart wasn't concerned over such a silly thing as age. She was also incredibly popular at the hospital, everyone knew her and knew of her kindness and beauty so who was I? A shy, no name intern, but she saw past that. It was magic between us from the very first moment Kendall and I knew that no matter what happened or what obstacles we had to face that she was the woman I wanted to be with. That's how it was with you and James too, Kendall. I could just tell from that very first meeting in my surgery that for you it was like a dream come true but there was no denying that James had a spark in his eye for you, and then of course when you came home from after dinner it was as clear as day and I found myself thinking 'So, when should I book the wedding?''

Logan laughs quietly to himself but it is almost impossible to feel any sort of joy or happiness in this situation.

"So after dating for a while and both me and your Mum had pretty much decided we were going to spend the rest of our lives together, your Mother asked me if I wanted to meet you and Katie. I was so nervous; I kept thinking and in fact saying to Jen 'They're going to hate me'. I remember going over to her house in the afternoon, it was a Saturday and it was incredibly warm for Minnesota in February. Jen welcomed me with a big smile, we were both a bit nervous but she said she just knew that you were going to love me. You were playing in the backyard with a play sword I remember, swinging it around and claiming that you were 'King of The Pirates'. You were the cutest child I had ever seen, with messy blonde hair, green eyes exactly like your Mums and a big cheesy grin with adorable dimples, I fell in love with you instantly. When your Mum interrupted your playing and introduced me you gave me huge smile and extended your hand and said "Hello Mr Logan, my name is Kendall, but you have to call me The Pirate King if you want to play!" and I knelt down and said "Well Mr Pirate King, do I get a cool pirate name too?" to which you said "Sure! You can be... Pirate Captain!" And then I remember we played all afternoon, until the sun went down, creating adventures and sailing to faraway lands and you told me that one day you were going to sail the world and be the King of your own future"

Logan can't stop the tears that are now running freely down his face but he doesn't care.

"I'm so sorry things happened this way Kendall, but at least now you are at peace and you have travelled to a faraway land where you will always be The Pirate King, and one day I will join you and The Pirate Captain and The Pirate King will be reunited once more to conquer the world and save the day. I have always loved you like you were my own son Kendall and I always will."

Logan cries hysterically into Kendall's hair, knowing his words probably sound pathetic but they mean the world to him right now. If he can just cling on to these precious memories he will always feel connected to Kendall.

Logan notices silent tears fall down Pauls face, "I'm so sorry" Paul says, having heard all of Logan's story.

"Where are the others?" Logan asks softly, still well aware that James has a chance of life and will need to get proper medical attention as soon as possible.

"They shouldn't be long, they know where we are. You and I were quite a way east of everyone else though."

Logan nods but doesn't reply, instead clutching Kendall tighter knowing that there will only be a few more minutes before Kendall is taken away from him.

"I love you so much" Logan cries softly, unable to accept yet that his son has died. "What ever happened to never giving up? Following your dreams? Please Kendall, please"

Logan can hear the others now, fast approaching, but he won't let go. Eventually he feels hands on his shoulders and people shouting but he just holds Kendall tighter.

"Dr Mitchell please" He hears a man say sadly to his right, placing a hand on Logan's shoulder.

Logan however immediately shrugs the hand away, "No, I'm not leaving him"

"Logan we need to get him out of here on a stretcher, this isn't the place. We need to get James to the hospital and you have to come with us."

"Yes, please take James and save him, but leave me here with Kendall"

"So you can die as well? No. Don't leave your wife without a son and a husband"

Logan cries harder at the man's words, his wife's face in his mind. Losing Kendall was going to absolutely destroy her.

"You're right" Logan sobs, "Just give me one more minute"

The man nods his head and turns to help the others with James.

"Come on Kendall" Logan whispers. "Think of me, think of your Mum, think of Katie, think of Carlos, think of James. James isn't going to be able to live without you, you're his world Kendall I know you are. You can't leave James to face this world alone, I know he thinks he's strong but he's going to be lost without you." Logan begins to raise his volume and speaks directly into Kendall's ear, "James is still alive Kendall"

Logan has one hand placed on Kendall's heart and the other supporting his weight over his middle. He treasures these last few moments he has, sobbing quietly. He is going to miss Kendall, so much, and he doesn't think there will be a single day that will pass for the rest of his life where he won't shed a tear for the boy who he loves like a son. He will always treasure every moment they have shared, every hockey game, every adventure in the backyard, every laugh, every tear, every –

"Wait, wait" He murmurs, sitting up straight. "Everybody quiet for a second!" He yells, actually causing everyone to freeze from the shock of Logan's outburst.

He might be imagining it, going crazy from the heart crushing sadness but unless his palm on Kendall's heart decieves him...

"There's a heartbeat!" He practically screams, jumping like lightening so he is positioned over Kendall's body with his middle and index finger positioned on Kendall's pulse point on his neck and his ear hovering over Kendall's lips for any signs of breathing.

He is not imagining it, he is not going crazy, there is the faintest, faintest of pulses and Logan collapses onto Kendall's torso in hysterical tears.

"HE'S ALIVE!"

What do you think? ...
