Delbert felt like fainting then he did faint he woke up to a gray world rain trickling down the rooftop of the building thunder was distant lighting flashing, "amelia?" He asked looking all around for her then he found her lying in bed, he breathed a sigh of relief and reached to touch her, only for her to disappear along with the room. everything around him was a menacing hospital room with sick people all around him he seen Amelia again a man in a dark robe was covering her face. "what are you doing?! " He yelled and shoved the man away to see he has a skeleton face and a threatening stature. It reached a hand up and whacked him across the face causing him to fall he started falling into the darkness. "Wake up you bloody canid!" echoed in the abyss. "DOCTOR!" Delbert Jumped up and blinked Victoria was standing over him.
"Amelia-" "Has been transported to the hospital." "NO SHE'LL DIE-" "AND HER STAYING HERE IS GOING TO RAISE HER CHANCES?! NOW CALM YOUR SELF MAN!" Victoria snapped. "Sorry sorry." He mumbled standing. "lindsey says her chances are good if we get her a sampling of Bonzag extract. " "Thats half way across the galaxy?!"
"Aye and extremely hard to find unless on the black market." Victoria growles slamming her fist into the wall. "Pirates could get it the scurvy dogs." Then it clicked with Delbert, John Silver!
"I know who can help!" "Whom?"
"John silver." "Hell no!"
"Victoria he can help!" "Ask help from the same pirate that nearly killed her?!"
"Victoria you want me to help my wife, your sister, I presented a way and you've shot it down! "
Victoria blinked, she was not one to be yelled at , especially by a canid...But he was right Amelia was in danger, "Very well Doctor do whatever it takes to get my sister well again."
"I will Madam Admiral I will." with that Victoria nodded and walked out of the house more then likely to head to the hospital to visit Amelia.
"I'll call James...he doesn't know it but we all know he's talking to that ol pirate." Delbert slightly mused to himself as he got into his carriage in the early morning hour, and started to the Benbow inn. What if he lost her and the babies? Could he deal with it again...No, no that would not happen to his amelia it simply could not!
He would become a pirate himself before that happen! He sighed as he pulled up to the Inn getting out and into the warmth of the already packed place. "Delbert!" Sarah called in an always cheery voice same as every time she'd seen him.
Delbert forced a smile to his friend," Hello Sarah...is Jim around?"
Sarah smiled some and nodded, "He's up stairs i think Delbert in his room or on that rooftop again." "thank you Sarah." Delbert walked on to the stairs , "Oh Del?" "Yes sarah ? " "I almost forgot how is Amelia?"
"That is why I need to speak with Jim Sarah..."
"what's wrong Delbert..." Sarah asked in a more hushed tone.
"Shes sick Sarah..." Sarah gasped slightly, "with what?"
"Scarlet fever.." Sarah eyes widen, "Oh...Oh my Lord Del..." "I need James to help me with something..." "Of...Of course go right on up." She nodded.
Delbert silently walked up and perked his dog like ears he heard giggling and whispers. "...James?" he walked into Jim's room to see nothing then walked out onto the roof to see Jim out there with a girl named Callah whom worked at the benbow they were right in the middle of about to kiss when Delbert awkwardly coughed. Jim and Callah both jumped up and turned around "DOC?!" "Doctor Doppler..." Callah blushed and deep red.
"Don't mind me I uh just need to borrow you for a moment James.." Delbert said blushing himself and rubbing the back of his neck. "Fine Doc.." Callah went back inside leaving the two men alone.
"what is it doc..." Jim asked boredly sitting down on the edge of the roof. "James i need your help contacting john Silver..."
"What?! why?! "
"Amelia she-"
"Oh this makes sense Amelia wants him i'm not letting her drag him to prison to be hanged Delbert-"
"James stop! its not that!"
"What is it then doc?!"
"Amelia will die without him!" Delbert blurted.
"W-what?"
Delbert Sighed, "She's sick James...I need silver to try and get the medication she needs ...its only available in the Black market...Please Jim p-please! I-I c-can't lose h-her!"
"Calm down Doc Calm down of course I'll help you."
"T-Thank you Jim." Delbert breathed a sigh of relief.
"Meet me here tomorrow and we'll go..." Delbert nodded and thanked Jim once again leaving heading straight for the hospital where Amelia was, Victoria was there right by her sleeping sisters side she looked up at him as he walked in.
"Well?"
"I got everything set up for tomorrow."
"Good..."
"H-how is she.."
"Just as you see here Doctor she hasn't changed since I got here." Delbert sighed and took her limp hand, "Don't worry Mia...help is on the way."
