(Y/n) pov

As a child, I always dreamt of a life filled with adventure. Kinda like Indiana Jones, Survivor, Bonnie and Clyde, Total Drama Island. I thought that would be more fun than staying as a Kook in Figure Eight. But there was something off about those adventures.

Treasure hunting, exploring new countries,..it's not all victory parades and gold loot. For every great quest, including the famous ones, there comes some roads that lead to disaster, and every path seems to be a trap. And every choice made, is a fucking obstacle. There's death, danger, betrayal, and pain.

JJ and I went to the chateau in the morning, everyone excited to see Big John, my father. My husband, of course, was so excited that he jumped on his back like a child. It made me smile to see him smiling brightly and laughing like he hasn't before.

"Yeah, so, we went to the archives in Charleston but it was...it was a dead end. Nothing there, so...", my brother stated firmly.

JJ and I looked him up and down. I know he's lying, or at least keeping something from us, I'm just not sure what it is. It has something to do with Charleston, that's for sure. What isn't he telling us?

"So, that's the gold, the cross, and now El Dorado. We're three-for-three in losses, zero wins, guys.", Pope chuckled sarcastically.

"That's some Ward Cameron level bullshit right there, John B! No offense, Sarah.", I scoffed.

"None taken.", she stated plainly.

"It's not bullshit, it's-", John B attempted.

"The truth? Yeah, I've heard that all before. I don't know what he pulled you into, but I'm gonna figure it out. I can't believe you, John B, won't even tell me, your fucking sister!", I spat viciously.

"That's because there's nothing to fucking tell, (Y/n)! You need to calm the fuck down, okay?! God, I really hope that any kid you have doesn't turn out like you!", my brother argued back.

"Don't fucking start saying shit about our kid, John B! Don't even! I hope our future kid turns out strong like her and not pathetic like her fucking uncle!", JJ argued with my brother.

"Let's go fish, babe. Thanks for your useless info.", I scoffed as I pushed past John B.

"Our kid is gonna be fine. The baby will have the greatest parents ever, unlike John B. Not that your dad is-", JJ rambled as we got in the car.

"No, Big John is an ass. It's like, ever since we got back, he's been secretive. I mean, going off to Charleston with him and not telling anyone? Not even Sarah? That's just not adding up.", I explained to him.

"You're right, it's not adding up but you shouldn't stress about it. The only thing you should worry about is yourself and me, because, well, I'm me.", he explained briefly.

"Yeah, that's a good idea.", I chuckled to myself.

"Hey, you're gonna be an amazing mom, eventually. So don't worry about anything.", he reassured me.

"I love you, JJ Maybank.", I said as I kissed him.

"I love you too, (Y/n) Maybank.", he smiled back.
