((Don't play the Song until I say so))

Percy had gotten Joe calmed down...

Joe needed some quiet time and he needed to rest.
Percy had explained that Susan had died to to an illness in the sea that had been spreading around...
And she had been cheating on Joe with that pirate... he had been named Yanda... Captain Yanda.

Joe had been depressed today... the life kind of left him... he dragged his feet a little bit...

It was raining again... this world seemed to feel depressed when certain characters were depressed and it usually rained when somone was depressed or something bad was soon to come...

He refused to go inside, even after the rain got so bad that the crew had to retreat into the boat...

It had been three hours...

"He isn't coming in... is he?" Banana King asked the others as you all were doing your own things.
Salty Joe Joe grunted in response.

Calvery Stankoff sighed in annoyance at the figure outside... standing with his head down in the pouring rain and the stormy weather... You played with the children and noticed something about the baby Joe had been given. "P...Percy... this baby.... h....he's missing an eye...." Percy's face looked scared. "What?!" "Yeah... he has... an X on his.... Oh my gosh Percy this isn't that captain's baby! IT'S JOE'S!!" Percy took the baby and walked upstairs...

¤~♧Percy's P.O.V♧~¤

He just stood there... short lil shit...

"JOE!!! STOP WORRYIN US AND GET YOUR SORRY ARSE IN HERE!!!" I yelled and that guy...
he just pouted and kept looking down... and I know he heard me cause he flinched and crossed his arms.
I grabbed a satchel and put it on, set th baby in it and then I ran out and grabbed Joe, picking him up and carrying him inside. He was flailing and screaming and yelling, I wasn't havin it... I sat him down on a chair and then I slapped him... he went quiet and so did everybody else...
I grabbed th baby and held it in front of Joe.
"It's your's..."

Joe kinda glared at me.
"What're ya going off about?" I pointed to the baby's X on his eye and then Joe's eye went wide... he held the baby ever so gently... and I had never seen a man so genuinely happy, th tears of joy that dripped down his face were pure while he played with that baby... letting th lil thing hold onto his finger...
"Hey... what's his name?" I asked.

Joe looked at his child and then he smiled at it... th baby smiled back. "His name's Cyra... it means Moon... I remember hearin that once..."
"Why moon?" I asked... a bit curious.
"Cause.... now this has a meanin to it..." He pulled out a small moonstone... that was connected to a necklace....

He then put it over th baby's head and smiled

He then put it over th baby's head and smiled. "It was from his mother... before she died...." He smiled and gently pet the baby's hair. "So that's why he told me to keep ya wrapped up... he didn't want to admit that he didn't have her first kid with her... you were mine..." He smirked and I walked over to Y/n... she was smilin as well... th storm outside wasn't going to destroy this moment for any of us...

♢°♢Later that night♢°♢

I woke up to th sound of th ocean...
As usual... but it was too late to be up so I walked up to the deck... only... to hide when I saw Joe... he was singing...
And it was beautiful...
I watched him as he danced.

((Now you may play ze song.))

■}"I was fine.... with the men.... who would come into her life now and again
I was fine 'cause I knew, that they didn't really matter until you
I was fine when you came
and we fought like it was all some silly game...
over her, who she'd choose, after all those years I never thought I'd lose

It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?

You won and she chose you and she loved you and she's gone
It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?

War and glory, reinvention.
Fusion, freedom, her attention.
Out in daylight my potential, bold, precise, experimental

Who am I now in this world without her?
Petty and dull with the nerve to doubt her...
What does it matter? It's already done
Now I've got to be there for her son

It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
It's over isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
You won and she chose you
And she loved you and she's gone
It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?

It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?"{■

He stared into th ocean... he was such an emotional boy... probably had all that held in since he was born... he had been part of the Rubber Fishes fer so long... must've been tough...

I walked over... never thought I'd see someone jump like that....

He looked as if he'd gotten a five second heartattack.
"You alright there?" I asked him and he nodded. "How long where ya there?"

"Eh... long enough... you got yourself some voice..." He looked embarrassed and I brought the cold wierdo inside... we had a long talk about life and what our lives were like now... he really loved the ship and th crew...
he was pretty grateful to be a part of it...
I'm glad... I lied when he asked if I knew who he was singin about...
I knew...
But I said no...
He was singin about Sally and that Damned Yanda... but I was happy he was feelin better... he really is a good guy...
