Revenge 4
"Delia where are you? " Uma called. She knew Cordelia and Max were right behind her.
"Right here! The baby keeps sitting down! Silly baby! " Cordelia giggled as she tugged Max on to the ship.
Doug stood up from the rocks he was ready to go grab his son.
"I know this is hard but not yet. " Ben whispered as Evie grabbed his arm. He kneeled down again.
"Come on Delia we are going down below" Uma picked Max up and grabbed Delia's hand. When they got to the room Harry was walking out. Harry picked up Cordelia when she ran to him.
"Alright love you are going to stay and play with your friends" Harry pointed to the room Uma was taking Max in.
"No I'll stay with Gil!" Cordelia pointed to Gil who was sitting by the door.
"This is not for debate missy. Now in you go. " Harry took her in the room. The room had a small bed in the corner and that was it. AJ had Atalie leaning up against him on the bed. Max was laying on the bed beside them and Moxie was pacing.
"Mommy can I stay with you? " Cordelia whined and reached for Uma.
"No you have to stay here where you will be safe. I will come get you later" Uma kissed Cordelia on the head. Harry kissed Cordelia and put her down in the room and closed the door.
"I don't wanna" Cordelia pouted. She turned around to see the others looking at her.
Uma had just got back on the deck when a a man in a green bow tie walked on board.
"Excuse me have you seen my little boy. He is eighteen months old, blue-green eyes with curly blonde-blue hair. He unfortunately looks more like me than his beautiful mother. Oh and he goes by the name Max, Maxie or Maxwell. " the man rocked back and forth.
"Who are you and how did you get here? " Uma drew her sword.
"My name is Doug and I would like my son back now! " Doug said firmly stepping forward his hand where he could reach his sword.
Doug had filled out some since high school. He wasn't quite as lanky as he was and since Lonnie insisted that everyone know how to fence, even before this happened, he had gained some muscle. He still wore his same style, which sometimes drove Evie crazy.
"How did you get here? Where is Mal? " Uma growled.
"That doesn't matter but just know if you come peacefully you might get to see your daughter before she is a teenager. " Doug said calmly.
"Did you just threaten my daughter? Who are you to threaten my child? " Uma chuckled.
"You took my son so yes I threatened your daughter. Bring all the kids to me and turn yourself in and this will end peacefully." Doug slowly reached for his backpack while Uma laughed.
"What makes you think I want just throw you in with the kids and make Mal come get you too? " Harry came up behind Doug.
Suddenly there was a puff of smoke between Doug and Harry. This alerted the other pirates . Doug quickly ran back towards the dock. Ben and Mal headed towards where they saw the kids being taking, only to be stopped by Uma and Harry. The others were busy fighting with the pirates no one saw Doug slip down in the ship to get the kids.
"Gil I have to go potty! " Cordelia whined through the door.
"No you don't! You just want to come out. " Gil sighed.
"Please just for a moment! " Cordelia's little fingers came under the door.
"Delia stop it! " Gil demanded.
"The girl baby is making funny noises I think she is sick! " Delia said more seriously.
"Dang it! " Gil whispered as he stood up.
He slowly opened the door he could see AJ still holding the girl. He walked into the room only to be pushed by Cordelia and Moxie. Not expecting to be pushed Gil fell forward. AJ quickly got off the bed holding Atalie while Cordelia and Moxie hurried out the door both of them holding Max's hand. When AJ was out the door Delia closed the door and took the key. Moxie, Max and Cordelia turned right going towards the deck of the ship. While AJ turned left going down a long hall. Doug was slowly making his way down from the deck making sure no one followed him. He stopped and drew his sword when he heard someone coming down the hall. He quickly put his sword away when he was it was Moxie and Max.
"Dada!" Max cried running to quickly picked Max up and gave him hugs and kisses. Max didn't know weather to laugh or cry so he did both.
"Uncle Doug! " Moxie hugged his leg tight.
"Oh Mox! I am so happy to see you too" Doug scooped her up with his other arm and kissed her on her head.
"Well that was to easy where did you guys come from? Where are AJ and Attie?" Doug asked he was sure someone was going to come around the corner and see him with the kids.
"Delia got the man to come in the room and we shoved him down and took the key" Moxie explained pointing to the small girl still standing there. "And I don't know! " Moxie added.
"I don't like to be locked in rooms" Cordelia said darkly.
"Thank you so much! How old are you Delia?" Doug asked as he put Moxie down and kneeled in front of Cordelia. She was so was tiny to have such a tough face.
"I'm three! Can I have my baby back now daddy gave him to me." Cordelia reached for Max. Max gripped his daddy's shirt tighter and buried his face in Doug's shoulder.
"No, Max is my baby but when we get home you can come play with him sometimes" Doug said.
"Where is your home? " Cordelia frowned.
"We live in Auroadon ." Doug explained.
"That's where mommy and daddy want to live! " Cordelia said excitedly.
"They won't like it when they get there. " Doug grumbled.
"Is Delia coming home with us? " Moxie smiled.
"She sure is! Come on let's go find Attie and AJ so we can go home." Doug took Moxie' s hand and lead her down the hall.
On deck was complete chaos. There were smoke bombs going off and people sword fighting everywhere. Harry and Uma were protecting the way down stairs. Which was worrying Jay. He was waiting on the other side of the ship. Why hadn't Doug come up with Atalie yet. The plan was to take the other three kids to the car. He was taking Atalie by boat straight to Auradon to the Hospital. Jay had to blink twice but he thought he saw small fingers coming up from the floor boards right where Chad and a pirate were fighting.
AJ carried Atalie to the stairs around the corner. She was getting heavy AJ needed help getting her up the stairs. He hurried up the stairs and tried to open the door at the top but it was heavy. He stuck his fingers through the boards hoping to push better. His fingers were gently pushed back through the boards and the door was ripped open.
"Mommy!" AJ cried when he saw the person that had opened the door.
"My baby! My sweet baby boy! " Alana scooped AJ up and began to kiss his face.
"Mommy Attie's sick! " AJ quickly sat up in her arms.
"I know baby we're going to make her better! " Alana quickly handed AJ to Lonnie and went downstairs.
"You OK buddy? " Lonnie gently stroked AJ's hair.
"I'm sleepy and hungry. " AJ cuddled into her.
"We'll get you home soon, brave boy. " Lonnie quickly dodged out of the way of a sword.
"Sorry babe he got away !" Chad quickly began to fight the pirate.
"Glad to see you are OK buddy" Jay came over to them after he knocked the pirate overboard.
"Hi daddy! " AJ waved and reached for him. Jay quickly took him from Lonnie and hugged him tight. It was one of the few times AJ had every called him daddy.
"I missed you, buddy, but now I got to get Attie to the are so brave and I'm very proud of you. " Jay kissed AJ on the head and gave him back to Lonnie.
Jay ran down stairs to where Alana was. He came back up holding a bundle wrapped in a blanket. Chad and Alana shielded Jay as he made it to the dock so he could go to the boats with Atalie. Lonnie was fighting a pirate while holding AJ on her hip, which made Chad fall even more in love with his wife.
She was very protective of the kids and was the one that insisted they go help get the kids back. Lonnie was going to make an amazing mother one day. Lonnie was trying to make it to the dock so she could get AJ to the car. Uma spotted Lonnie with AJ.
"How did one of the kids get out? Harry go check on them! Uma demanded. Harry left to go downstairs. He quickly ran downstairs when he got to the room he saw the door was still shut but Gil was missing. He opened the door to see Gil sitting on the bed with his head in his hands and the kids missing.
"WHERE DID THEY GO? " Harry bellowed.
"I don't know man! I came in because Delia said something was wrong with the kid that was coughing and I was shoved down. " Gil explained sheepishly.
"You idiot. Now help me find them! " Harry dragged Gil out of the room.
Doug and the kids had hidden in another room when he heard Harry come down the stairs. He put his finger to his lips signaling to the girls to stay quite. He peeped out the door making sure no one was coming. The girls slowly walked out the door and up the stairs to the deck Doug followed them with his sword out. He walked out the door first his sword in one hand and Max in his other arm. Before he could stop her Cordelia ran towards Uma. Ben caught Cordelia before she could reach Uma. Mal quickly scooped Moxie up. Lonnie gave AJ to Chad.
"Give me my daughter! " Uma demanded.
"Why you took mine? " Ben asked. Ben quickly tucked Cordelia under his arm when she bite him.
"You can have her back just give me my daughter. " Uma stepped forwarded. She motioned for her crew to stop.
"I'm sorry Uma but we gave you many chances but we can't forgive this. " Ben said firmly.
"So what your going to take my kid because I took your kid. " Uma voice was starting to crack.
"Someone will take good care of her while you go to our prison. " Ben explained.
"How much worse can it be than here? " Uma chuckled.
"You will be all by yourself. No more crew, no more leading, just you by yourself. All of you will by yourself. " Ben said loudly. Several pirates ran away.
Uma actually looked scared. Ben gave Cordelia to Lonnie and walked over to Uma.
"Give yourself up now and we may allow visiting rights. " Ben said calmly.
" Not a chance! " Harry came up with Gil both of their swords drawn.
"Give it up, Harry! I want to see my kid sometimes. " Uma sat her sword down.
"She's my kid too and I'm not letting them take her! " Harry turned towards Lonnie. Chad and Adam stepped in front of Lonnie.
"Daddy? " Cordelia looked confused.
"Take her to the car, please Lonnie. Take all the kids to the car." Ben said, calmly.
"No! " Harry went forward. Chad immediately stopped him.
"Stop Harry! " Uma demanded! "Please. " she said softly.
"At least let me say goodbye. " Harry and Gil put their swords down.
Ben nodded and Adam stepped aside. Lonnie put Cordelia down and she ran to him.
"Are we going to where you wanted to go? " Delia asked.
"Yeah baby and you are going to love it there. Mommy and daddy and uncle Gil are going away for awhile but I promise we will see you again. I love you!" Harry kissed her on the head. Uma took Cordelia and hugged her tight she wouldn't let her daughter see her cry.
"Love you mommy and daddy! " Cordelia kissed them and then walked back to Lonnie. She picked her up and headed for the car. Mal, Doug and Chad followed her with the other kids.
When they got to the car Mal hugged and kissed Moxie.
"I missed you so much baby! " Mal hugged Moxie again.
"I missed you too mommy! "Moxie laid her head on Mal's shoulder.
On the way to the car Cordelia had started to cry so Lonnie was gentle stroking Cordelia's back. It wasn't a hurt or angry cry it was a genuine sad and scared cry.
"I want my mommy! " Cordelia whimpered.
Doug and Mal's hearts clenched at the saddnenss in Cordelia's voice, no parent wanted their child to be that sad.
"It's going to be OK sweetheart. " Lonnie shoothed.
Evie quickly opened the limo door. Max squealed and launched himself at Evie.
"My sweet boy! I missed you! " she began kissing his face all over. The limo began to move.
Max be began to giggle. Evie began to check him over.
"I wonder how he got these scratches on his legs? " Evie gently ran her hand down his chubby leg.
"He kept falling down when we walked to the ship. " Cordelia sat up in Lonnie's arms.
"My sweet baby is not used to walking far. " Evie cooed kissing Max again.
"I hurt my arm when Delia pushed me down" Moxie showed Mal her bloody elbow.
Mal gently kissed Moxie's elbow.
"They were mean and the food was yucky! " AJ added.
"I'm sorry buddy but you are a brave boy" Chad patted AJ on the back.
"Oh no the bridge! " Cordelia gripped Lonnie tight as she stared out the window
"Mommy? " Moxie said unsure.
"It's OK just watch. " Mal pointed to the window.
Moxie and AJ watched intensely as the golden bridge appeared.
"Cool! " both AJ and Moxie said together.
Cordelia was shaking in Lonnie's arms her head buried in Lonnie's neck.
"It's OK baby! We are safe! I will keep you safe" Lonnie shoothed rocking her a little. Even Chad was gently rubbing Cordelia's arm.
Mal smiled. It didn't take long to find a good home for Cordelia.
