Dreams on Waters - A Camren Fanfiction

Chapter 30

I sighed with relief when I found myself back on board the ship, I watched as we got away from the small island and that only made me feel a little better, a little more secure. Moving away from the gunwale, I observed how all the crew had Camila surrounded, offering her more and more beer. Everyone was very happy to have her back, even the women who cooked came out to meet her. Of course I was having a hard time controlling myself, it wasn't nice to see your girl being spoiled by other people after all. But I decided to give them space because it had been a long time since they last saw her.

I went into the crew cabins, reaching the bed that had been assigned to me and threw myself into it. I was extremely tired, it had been a very tiring day and all I wanted at the moment was Camila hugging me while I slept but now I would have to settle for just the sleeping part. I was about to close my eyes when I heard a nearby screech that alarmed me, I sat up in bed to see what was happening until I saw Gerd in a corner of the room with his little friend. It seemed that they were playing or something like that, the image of the big man made me smile. Knowing that it was nothing bad I went back to bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

I was waking up some time later by a soft touch on one of my arms. I stirred in bed making the caresses disappear and suddenly I found myself missing them. I turned starting to open my eyes seeing a silhouette on one of the sides. I blinked a little and then realized that the person who was there with me was Camila. A smile formed on my lips.

"Hey," she said softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up."

"Don't worry," my voice came out somewhat hoarse.

I looked around noticing that some beds were taken and only a few were empty, probably from the men who would be standing guard.

"Is something wrong?" I asked quietly without wanting to wake anyone up.

The brunette shook her head and playing with her hands gave me a small smile.

"I just thought that maybe we could sleep in my cabin" she started shy "You know, because now we are together..."

My smile widened, she had come to find me probably after finishing with the little impromptu celebration that the others had organized. Camila should be tired from everything she had to go through but she was still here.

"Come on" I carefully got up, took my boots and held out my hand.

Her eyes gleamed with excitement taking my hand without thinking too much about it. We walked a few steps until I felt a little dizzy, I staggered a little managing to lean on her. The thoughts of the probable reason for my dizziness began to invade my mind and I couldn't help but feel guilty being next to the brunette.

I had to tell her, even if she walked away from me after that but I couldn't hide from her that I was possibly pregnant and that I believed the father was Shawn.

"Are you okay?" She asked concerned, wrapping her arm around my waist.

"I ... yes, I'm fine just a little dizziness but there is something I must tell you. The best thing would be to speak where no one could hear us" I answered trying to smile.

"Well."

She helped me up the stairs to the hatch despite having told her that I could alone, she denied saying that she did not want to risk me falling. We continued in silence until we reached her cabin, she opened the door and without letting go of me, she left me on the bed. She sat next to me watching me intently, wordlessly indicating that I should speak. I took some air, nervous about what would happen next.

"If we're going to be together I don't want to hide things and what I want to say is something serious" I took a break "That night we were at Ally's tavern I ... I think I slept with Shawn and I think I'm pregnant" I finished closing my eyes tightly.
