Emily's shoulders shuttered slightly as she and her dates made their way back onto the deck, her fingers curling around Aaron's jacket that lay on her shoulders. The deck had become abandoned of most passengers and sailors, letting the couple and small child roam freely without interruptions.

"Miss Em'ly!"

The brunette looked down to the small boy between her and Aaron and smiled. "Yes Jack?"

Jack jumped on his feet, his small jacket wrapping around his body. "Do you wanna play with me by the railing?"

Aaron immediately shook his head, swooping down and taking his son into his arms. "Son you cannot play by the railing."

"But daddy! It's fun over there!" The young boy smiled, his dimples similar to his father's. "The water looks SO cool!"

Aaron sighed before shaking his head again, seeing Emily's shining eyes looking his way. "Jack it's very dangerous to play over there, especially in the dark. You're not allowed. Is that understood?"

Emily laughed when she saw the young boy's shoulders slouch before he nodded his head. "Your daddy is right, Jack. It's not very safe to be over there at night." She gave the blond a smile as her finger brushed his cheek. "But that doesn't mean we can't explore the rest of the deck! There are plenty of other places to go."

"Like where?"

The brunette woman bit her lip as she and Aaron stopped in their tracks, her mind searching for something to say. "Well… we can go up one deck and ask to say hello to the captain."

Aaron looked at the woman beside him. "Emily, I don't think we're allowed to do that."

"Why not?"

"Emily he's sailing the ship."

Emily nodded slowly, her and Aaron's feet beginning to move slowly against the wood panels of the floorboard. "We could always read stories."

Jack's eyes brightened at the woman's statement. "I wanna read stories!"

Aaron smiled to his son before setting him down between he and Emily. "Alright, we can read stories." His eyes made their way to Emily's and watched as her lips curved into a smile. "Do you have any books with you?"

Emily bit her lip before shaking her head, feeling Jack's small fingers wrapping around hers as they walked. "None that would be appropriate for Jack to hear…"

The older brunette let out a laugh as they sat down on a couple of deck chairs ten feet from the railing, his eyes smiling as Jack sat himself down on Emily's lap. "Well then how are we gonna read stories?"

Jack's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands together. "We can tell new ones!"

Emily looked down to the boy in her lap and tightly hugged him to her chest. "That's a great idea, sweetie! We can make up our own stories and tell them to each other." She looked up to her date and saw the smile that graced his face. "Doesn't that sound great, Aaron?"

Just as Aaron opened his mouth, a scream came from the other end of the boat. Both brunettes turned their heads and watched as officers began to run towards the stern of the ship, their voices screaming towards the person in need of help.

Emily and Aaron quickly stood, Emily hiking the small blond onto her hip as they looked towards the rucus feet away. "Aaron what's going on?"

"I don't know, I can't really see anything."

Emily squinted her brown eyes as she tried to see what the commotion was at the other end of the ship. And then she saw it, letting her eyes widen. "Oh Aaron!"

The older brunette turned his head, his eyebrows furrowing when he saw Emily's eyes widening. "What is it, Em?"

"It's Jack! They're arresting Jack!"

…

Jack's eyes rolled when he felt the handcuffs click onto his wrists. These officers were completely stereotypical. They hadn't even asked what had happened, just assumed and went from there.

"Wait!"

All eyes turned to see two brunettes running towards the crowd, a small blond in the woman's arms.

Jack felt a smile grace his face as his friends features appeared in his line of sight. "Emily."

Emily stopped short in front of her friend and the officers, her chest heaving as she clutched her date's son to her chest. "You can't arrest him."

The officer that stood behind Jack just shook his head, his fingers readjusting the cap that sat on his barely there hair. "I'm sorry miss, but you don't know what has been going on here." He pointed to an annoyed Jack in front of him. "This gentleman almost pushed poor Rose overboard."

Emily's eyebrows shot up. "Rose?"

A redheaded woman raised her hand as a fellow officer laid a blanket over her shoulders. "That would be me. And sir, I've told you three times already that Jack did not try to push me over."

Emily nodded her head as Aaron's son wrapped his arms around her neck. "I know this man and he would never do that sort of thing."

Aaron looked to the man being handcuffed and nodded his head. "I met you this morning, did I not?"

"Yeah, you did. I'm Jack."

"Aaron."

Jack's eyes widened as he looked to a meek Emily standing close by. "Oh. Aaron."

The white haired officer shook his head as he stepped away from a shivering Rose, his hands going to Emily's shoulders and shoving her slightly. "Alright ma'am, you need to leave this spot."

"Don't you touch me!"

Aaron's eyes glowered at the older man before shoving him away. "Get your hands off of her!"
