My Treasure (Norman Reedus Pirate)

Twenty Eight: Home

Btw, this is Isabelle.

"N-Norman?" I asked, stunned. Slowly, the bag was lifted off of my head, revealing the love of my life. Though this time, he was dressed back in his pirate attire. In his hands, he held a few articles of clothing for me.

"Hello, Isabelle." He murmured, leaning forward again and pressing his lips against mine. While kissing me, he slowly removed my wig, letting my hair fall over my shoulders. Then he pulled away, and took out a rag and wiped the makeup off my face. Once I was cleaned off and restored to my natural beauty, Norman leaned forward and gave my cheek a kiss.

"What...how....?" I mumbled, still surprised.

"I knew you were getting married. So I sent out a few of my men to 'kidnap' you after the wedding. That way, Jose will already be king. So technically, he doesn't need you anymore. And your two kingdoms will be at peace." He explained. "Since you were taken by an outside force, the Spanish have no reason to go to war with you anymore."

I smiled a little at him, and the smile broadened into a huge grin. I wanted to throw my arms around him, but my dress constricted my movements. Norman sensed it, and leaned forward, wrapping me in a tight hug. I buried my face in his shoulder, while I felt him give me kisses.

"I love you, Norman. I love you so much." I mumbled.

"Love you more." He murmured, pulling away. "Stand up." He ordered. I obeyed, and stood up. Once I did, his gaze instantly lowered to my stomach. When he saw the bump, I saw a small smile spread across his face. Then he moved to stand behind me, and he slowly started undoing the strings of my dress. I let the dress fall to the ground, and his hands brushed my sides. Then he removed my underdress, letting that fall to the floor again. Now I was naked before him, and he slowly turned me around. He dropped to his knees, so that his face was level with my stomach. He gave my belly button a kiss, and rested his forehead against it.

"We love you." I murmured, running my hands through his hair. He mumbled something against my slightly bloated stomach, and slowly looked up at me. His eyes were sparkling and full of love. I smiled, and he slowly got to his feet. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest. He lowered his face to my neck, nuzzling into the crook.

"I love both of you." He mumbled. "I love my Isabelle and Perseus."

"Or Andromeda." I corrected him, resting my cheek on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

Suddenly, the door opened. "Captain, we-" it was Jack. Of course.

Norman whipped around and covered me with his body. "Jack! Every damn time!" He roared, and I saw Jack chuckle.

"Sorry Captain. Just wanted to say that we're out of the harbor and leaving swiftly." He said.

"Good. Now get outta here before I kill ya!" Norman snapped.

Jack laughed loudly and left. Norman then turned to face me.

"Damn Jack." I mumbled, giggling a little.

"Damn Jack indeed." He said, smiling.

"You won't kill him." I stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

"'Course not. I'll never harm another one of my mates again." He mumbled, kissing my forehead. Him saying that reminded me of a long time ago.

"What about that old man? The one that captured me?" I asked, gazing up at him.

Norman sighed, and moved his hands of my hips. "Maurice was dying. He had some sickness that couldn't be cured. We had gone to every medical expert we knew, even Tituba, and none of them could help him. He was suffering, and I just ended it early. I didn't want to, but I did." He murmured, resting his forehead against mine. I nodded once, resting my hands on top of his. "You're not scared of me, are you?"

"Of course not. I don't blame you. My dad had a disease like that, but he had to suffer longer." I mumbled. Norman nodded, giving my nose a small kiss. I glanced at him, and snuggled closer to him. I felt his rough hands hold my still naked hips. "Hey, Norm, as much as I love hugging you naked, I'd like some clothes."

Norman pulled away and handed me a white shirt and some leather pants and boots. I smiled, slipping them on. Once I was situated, Norman pulled out a sword. My sword. I smiled at the sight of it. "Figure you'd want this back. Even though it's pretty pathetic." He said.

"Well, we'll just have to go to a town and get me a new one, now won't we?" I stated, smirking at him.

"Maybe in the morning. Now come on, I wanna sleep with you again." He murmured, taking my hand and leading me out of the cell room. Back on the deck, I immediately took a deep breath of the salty air that I missed. I let out a sigh, tightening my grip on Norman's hand. I saw him smile at me, before leading me towards the Captain's Quarters.

"Hey Isabelle!" I heard Henry call. I turned, just as a strong set of arms wrapped around my waist. I squealed when Henry lifted me off the deck, making me laugh. When he set me down, I looked up at him and gasped. Henry now wore a black eyepatch over his left eye.

"What happened to your eye?" I asked, tempted to look at it myself.

"One of that bloody prince's men shot me in the face. We all have scars from where we were killed." He muttered. I nodded, still staring at the scar.

"Do you know how you're alive?" I asked, hoping that maybe someone would know. But unfortunately for me, Henry shook his head.

"None of us know." He said. "But we're happy to be alive. And happy that you're back." He stated, smiling and heading away. "Try not to be too loud tonight!" He called.

"Can't make any promises!" I shouted back, earning a chuckle from Norman.

"How loud do you wanna be?" He asked, pulling me close and resting his hands on my hips.

"Hm, actually, I was thinking about just sleeping tonight." I said, resting my hands on his biceps.

Norman let out an exasperated groan. "But it's been two whole months!" He whined.

I giggled a little. "You can wait. Plus, I'm already pregnant with your child." I said, giving his lips a small peck.

"Fine." He groaned, before grabbing my hand and leading me to the Captain's Quarters. Well, our quarters now.
