Chapter 14
Day 40
Daley POV
Miley and I were walking down the beach on our way back from picking up fire wood when we decided to swim. We were swimming in the ocean and we started talking,
"Daley, do you really think we can raise twins on the island?" Miley asked.
"Do we have a choice? I mean, if we don't get rescued we're going to have to." I said.
"How many more days until she is due?" Miley asked. I quickly did the math in my head and came up with 2 ½ months.
"2 ½ months. But she said that her grandmother and mom went into labor early so it could be as early as 1 ½ -2 months." I said. I looked at Miley and she looked really worried. "It'll be okay." She started whimpering.
"Daley, I know we can't raise twins. We are barely staying alive our selves. And how is she going to give birth here? I just want to go home." She said crying. I pulled her in for a hug.
"I know this might be hard to believe but, I know it's going to be okay. No one will die. We are going to be fine." I said. She just held onto me trying to calm down. When she finally did we walked back to camp. We got to camp and were walking to the plane when we heard a crack in the woods.
"Jackson? Melissa? Eric?" I shouted into the woods. No answers.
"I thought everyone was doing there chores." Miley said.
"They are." I said. We both looked at each other because no one was supposed to be back there. There was no path, trail or anything. We heard another footstep and took a step back. Just then a body immerged from the woods. A very skinny man who looked like he had many injuries to the head and leg. He just stared at us with anger in his eyes. Miley and I both took 2 steps back when got one step closer to us. I looked closely at the man and realized it was Captain Russell.
"Captain Russell?" I asked him. Miley looked at me confused.
"Looks like you guys had it pretty easy here." He said looking around. When his eyes caught the plane he looked outraged. "You trashed my plane. Why'd you do that?" He yelled. He took another step closer to us and we backed up another step. "You destroyed her! She meant everything to me!" He said. Miley and I could both tell he had a mental problem. We just stood there staring at him not knowing what to do. "Well maybe I'll have to destroy one of you to make up for it." He said smirking at us. We both gasped and he started walking closer to us. Before we could turn around and run he grabbed my wrist.
"Let go of me!" I shouted. He pushed me to the ground hard and looked at Miley. Before he could grab Miley, Jackson came up and punched him in the face. Nathan was right behind him and grabbed my arms,
"Are you okay?" He asked me helping me stand up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said. Lilly, Rose, Eric, Lex and Taylor came up the beach and stood at the sides of me. Captain Russell then hit Jackson in the stomach hard and Jackson fell to the ground. Eric and Lilly both jumped at Russell and he hit Lilly square in the gut and made her fall to the ground landing on Jackson. Eric hit Captain Russell in the gut and he stepped back.
"You're not worth it!" He yelled as he ran back into the woods. Eric and Nathan took Lilly's arms and helped her stand up.
"Dude, are you okay?" Eric asked Lilly.
"I think so." Lilly said. "My stomach just hurts a little. Eric and Nathan then helped Jackson stand up. He stood up and we all did a huge group hug.
"Is everyone alright?" Jackson asked us. We all nodded and went up to sit around the fire.
"What if he comes back? We could all die!" Taylor said.
"Taylor, no one is going to die!" I said to her.
"What if he comes back when we are all asleep?" Taylor asked frantically.
"He won't. He's scared of us." Jackson said. Taylor then shut up and looked down. It was a silent night and so we all decided to go to bed early.
Day 53 (Yes, I did skip 13 days….sorry)
Lilly POV
We had been on the island 50 days when I remembered what date it was. It was my birthday. I doubt anyone remembered considering I had forgotten it myself. I woke up first out of everyone and went and sat out around the fire. I started the fire and grabbed a fish out of the cooler and started scaling it. Taylor woke up and came out of the shelter.
"What are you doing up so early?" I asked her.
"Stupid Melissa hit me in the face with her arm." She said. I laughed because I knew Taylor was not a morning person. The next person to wake up was Jackson. He came out of the shelter and sat next to me and put his arm around me.
"Good morning baby." He said. I smiled and Taylor made a gagging noise. We heard a noise from the shelter and Eric came out so Jackson let go of me.
"Why can't the sun have a snooze button?" Eric said rubbing his head. We all laughed a little and just looked around awkwardly. I saw Eric look into the girl's shelter for something then he looked at us and said, "Don't you think Rose is extremely big for being 8 months pregnant?"
"Eric, she's having twins." Taylor said as if he was stupid.
"I know but still." He said. We sat in silence for another minute until Lex and Nathan woke up. They sat down and I said,
"I'm going to go get some oysters. Anyone wanna come?" I asked. No one volunteered. Not even Jackson. That's weird, I thought he wanted to be with me. Oh well.
I walked down to the rocks and scooped up about 30 oysters. I put them in a cloth bag and I was gone for about 15 minutes. I started walking back to camp and when I turned the corner everyone yelled,
"SURPRISE!" I was so shocked I took a step back. There was a big sign that sais Happy Birthday Lilly! There was a table with a lot of food on it and it looked like a couple games were set up.
"Is this all for my birthday?" I asked everyone.
"Lillian, you don't think I would forget your birthday would you?" Miley said and gave me a hug. Everyone took turns giving me hugs and Jackson was last. He gave me a hug and kissed the top of my head. I turned around to see everyone acting normal.
"Why is everyone acting normal? You just kissed me." I whispered.
"They've known about it for a week. These people aren't stupid." He said. I walked further up the camp and sat down in a nice folding chair while everyone else sat on logs.
"We even have presents!" Lex squealed. He looked really excited. I look at everyone's faces. They all looked so happy, so peaceful, even though they were stuck on an island. I looked over at Rose who looked happy then all of a sudden looked shocked.
"Rose, is something wrong?" I asked her. She just stared at the ground for a minute with a shocked look on her face then finally she said,
"My water just broke."
PLEASE REVIEW! IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!
