Alluring - JJ Maybank Fanfic

Forever and ever and ever.

After we climbed into the small boat, heading down the Orinoco river, the girls took Emmy from me to change her while Pope and JJ patched up my bullet wound. I hated every second of them cleaning it, but thankfully the bullet went straight through the skin on my side, so it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. My sweet little baby bean is safe and sound, still growing inside of me. 

I let out a sigh when they finish bandaging me up, climbing onto JJs lap so I can burry my face against his neck, letting him run his fingers through my hair, "I love you, Princess."

"I love you too, Jay." I press soft kisses into his neck, "I believe you."

He peels me off his chest, a confused look on his face, "Believe me?"

I smile, "Yeah, I believe you." 

He caresses my face, understanding crossing his features, "You're my world."

"I know," I peck his lips, "and you're mine." 

"You have no idea how happy this makes me." He murmurs in my ear after I cuddle into him again, "I've been so worried about you, baby."

"We'll be okay, because it's us." I wrap my arms around his neck, clinging to him, all my emotions hitting me, "I have so much to say," I blubber, "but I'll wait until we get home, okay?"

"Okay, Princess, that's fine." He runs his hands down my back, resting them on my hips, "You're showing now, back to having a cute little baby bump."

"I know." I kiss his neck again, "Our second little baby." 

"Are you okay?" He lightly squeezes my hips. 

"I've been better," I answer honestly, "but I've also been worse." 

He sighs, "We'll get you home, baby. You can rest soon."

"Hey, dad, hang in there, okay?" John Bs voice breaks.

"We did it together, my boy. You, me and Willow." His weak voice makes me look over at him, tears in my eyes.

John B sniffles, "Yeah."

"Just... Just like we drew it up."

"We did it." He holds tears back while watching our dad struggle to breathe.

"Bird. Sarah." Our dad looks over to Sarah.

"Hi. I'm here, Big John." She smiles softly at him, her hand slipping into his, tears falling from her eyes.

"Bird, you got to hang on to this one." He groans in pain before continuing, "I know that I wasn't any great shakes as a father."

John B frowns, "Stop, Dad."

"But you, Bird... You took care of your sister when I couldn't and you figured out things about the treasure that I never did. And.. and Willow.." He turns his head towards me, "You've always been special." He chuckles, "I want you both to know that..." He trails off, trying to stay awake.

"You can tell us when we get home, okay? Almost there."

"Okay." Big John breathes out.

"Hold up. Look, Dad. Look." John B grabs a piece of gold from his bag and set it on his chest, "We did it." He sobs, "You did it."

"I'll see you... I'll see you at home, kids." Big John fades away.

"Dad! Dad, wake up."

"He wasn't worthy, Johnny, you know he won't wake up." I turn into JJ again, letting my tears soak his shirt.

"We should bury him here." Kie quietly tells us, "We can't take him home like.... this."
