We should be pirates.

Molly Combs was only really an acquaintance of Archibald, in fact, she didn't speak much to or of the man. However, when he turned to his pack of friends, saying they should be pirates, she couldn't help but join in. She was walking about their port town knowing well that there wasn't much she could do, not with her skills. She could become a serving wench or a barmaid or take up less modest work, she had the body for that... She hopped off the upper walk she was on and onto a barrel on the walk the boys were taking. She looked down them and grinned, "Pirates?"

She hopped off of it and landed softly, "I think you'd all be a right horrid bunch of pirates," She looked to Archibald, "Of course, a woman can always polish up this rag tag bunch into a proper crew," She grinned at Archie, hoping he was getting what she was getting at.

End or no end

Elliot smiled softly when he called her their best medic. She shook her head slightly, "I'm not the best... We have actual doctors here..." She sighed and closed her eyes, relaxing. She clumped Jacob's shirt into on hand as she sat there, "I'm sorry for worrying you...."

She bit her lip, she was getting tired, she was terrified of what her brain might do. She swallowed, "If I seem to have a nightmare... at all... wake me up... okay?" She begged him. She didn't care what it was that she did, she didn't want to be trapped in another nightmare. Her hand that clutched his shirt as the sleep that she had been holding off washed over her.

End or no end

Elliot curled up into Jacob. She moved to allow her legs to rest across his lap. She was still shaking as he held her tighter, telling her to sleep. She shook her head, "You were sleeping soundly and I know that used to have a lot of nightmares and... I didn't want to wake you up because of mine... Just like you wouldn't."

She didn't close her eyes, "I don't want to sleep... What if the nightmare comes back? I don't want to have to go through that again..."

End or no end

Elliot leaned against him but didn't look at him, "I couldn't sleep... I had a nightmare," She practically whispered as though it were some kind of secret, "I almost... forgot what they were like...." She rubbed one of her eyes, she was tired but just couldn't do it..., "I didn't want to wake you or just lie there anymore... so I came up here around three..."

She sighed and placed her head against his shoulder, burying her face in the crook of his neck, "I've just been sitting here since....."

End or no end

Elliot looked up when she heard Jacob. She spotted him and tried to find her voice. She had been up there a couple hours, alone and in silence. She was shaking from the cold but she didn't want to leave. It had even rained a little bit earlier, leaving her hair stuck to her face as she curled up on the dry spot she made on the bench. She nodded, "Over here..." She spoke quietly but she was sure that Jacob would either hear her or see her. She felt like she had probably been sitting alone for long enough...

The Making of a New Queen

Anastasia sat with her eyes closed and allowed the sun to beat down on her face. In her arms she held her baby, who started to squirm a little. She opened her eyes and looked down at the baby boy and laughed a little. She heard Alexandra call to her, "Mom!" She looked up to see her daughter, all grown up running to her. She laughed and fell to her knees in front of her, "Come and play with us! Dad keeps splashing us and we can't get him back."

Ana giggled and handed Theodore to Millie before standing. She wore pants, which was very uncommon for her but it made moving around so much easier and travelling or riding was far more comfortable. She stood as Alexandra ran back to the ocean. Anastasia ran behind her, she laughed and as she reached the ocean, kicked up some water at Samsul. She walked over to him and kissed him, happy to be there with him and their children. Alexandra whined slightly, "Moooom!"

Marcus, however, took the chance and splashed the both of them. Ana gasped as the cold water hit her and laughed before kissing her husband again.

End or no end

LOVE PERCY JACKSON! >.< Like... WAY too much...

The Making of a New Queen

Arabella walked around the room slowly with little Marcus as he turned into her, seemingly happy to lie in arms over a crib. He was quiet as he slept, moving only from time to time in her arms. Arabella looked at Millie, "If they are this calm all the time. We are hardly going to have to do anything at all... I was wondering how Anastasia was keeping so calm while caring for the two of them most of the day alone."

Anastasia walked into the office with her husband and closed the door behind them. She pulled him into a deep kiss. Between the kids and everything else, the two of them rarely got time to their selves anymore. She broke it after a moment and smiled at him. She walked over to her desk as though nothing had happened and for the first time in months picked up her pen to work. She smiled, "As long as they don't become too spoiled, I'll be okay."

End or no end

Elliot sat, curled up, on the bench on the roof, looking out on the city. She sighed and placed her forehead against her knees. She had fallen asleep with Jacob and for the first time in a long time had a nightmare. She woke up in the middle of the night and could find the will to go back to sleep. To face the images again. So, she had gotten on her shoes and coat and went to the roof. Her eyes were red from crying and there were dark circles under her eyes. All together, she looked like a mess. She sniffed rubbed her eyes trying to calm down.

The Making of a New Queen

Arabella reached down slowly and took the sleeping Marcus into her arms. She smiled broadly, "They make beautiful babies..." She rocked him and giggled a little, "I can tell that this sweet heart is indeed a prince. There is no denying it."

Anastasia laughed, "We are quite up tight it seems," She rested her head against Samsul shoulder, "I think we need to relax a little. Millie and Arabella would run straight to us if anything were to go wrong. And I'm almost positive that nothing will go wrong," She smiled, "Besides, they'll be with us in a few hours to get fed anyways."

She looked up at Samsul and kissed him, "Imagining how we are going to be when they are running all over the palace."
