Scrooge McDuck x Reader: Love in Duckberg

Waiting to be Rescued

Your POV
"Scrooge!", I shouted loudly, crying out for Scrooge and the others for what felt like an eternity. I was shouting their names ever since I got separated from them by the hurricane. I began to feel tired from shouting, but I knew if I stopped, they may never find me. I sat down on the sand, crying to myself. "This is all your fault, if you could've told Scrooge you were pregnant, none of this would of happened," I thought to myself as I wrapped my arms around my waist. I just hope that the hurricane didn't push them out further to sea.

I felt around my chest and pulled out the locket that had a picture of Scrooge and I kissing. My tears kept rolling down my cheeks, still wishing to be in his arms once again. I still remember when he told me his famous expedition and how he got filthy rich. I chuckled at the thought of him talking in his sleep or his famous catchphrase, "Smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies". I got up and looked at the sea, clutching the locket tightly. "I miss you Scrooge, but I will not give up. I will nourish myself to health and find a way to build shelter for myself and my-NO! Our unborn child."

I looked up at a tree and saw some coconuts. I grabbed a rock and threw it, causing it to be knocked out of the tree. I caught it and began to bang it on a huge rock to crack it open. It took me about a couple minutes, but once I heard it crack, I opened the tough shell and began to drink the milk from inside. I needed extra strength and hydration from throwing up.

Once I drank the milk and scrapped the inside of the coconut for coconut shavings fora snack later, I sculpted a tool to cut down a few trees to build a little house. I saw this from Scrooges adventure when he was shipwrecked a long time ago for ten days and got rescued by his secrete agency. I saw a good size tree and began to cut it down. The logs were perfect and rid of bugs that might come onto me when I slept. I fashioned a rope to tie the branches together and formed a little tiki house. I was amazed on how I did this that took up the rest of the day. I realized I still had my purse in case I forget something on the ship. I brought out a lighter and used the rest of the logs to build a fire. I sat close to the fire, rubbing my aching feet and my tummy every once in a while. I looked out to sea and saw the reflection of the moon. The sight was extraordinary, but I was still thinking about how Scrooge was going to find me.

My voice was hoarse from yelling his name and everytime I tried to yell, my voice was squeaking. I had to let my voice rest for the morning if I can still use it. My heart still aches at the thought of Scrooge's face when I told him I was pregnant. Shock, worry, and disbelief was on his face. I hope he accepts that I am pregnant with his child. I rubbed my stomach, a bit round but not fully noticeable. "Don't worry little one, Scrooge will come to rescue us. I hope".

Scrooge's POV
The ship was turned around to head to an deserted island. I didn't leave the railing where my beloved (Y/N) fell into the ocean. Whenever the boys or Webby will ask me a question, I kept my eyes locked on the open sea occasionally nodding or shaking my head. Mrs. Beakley came up to me, arms folded. "So how do you feel about being a father?" I sighed, hated when she treats me like a child. "I am excited for becoming a parent, but I am just worried how I am around the lad or lass." Mrs. Beakley frowned and settled beside me. "Come on Scrooge you have to rest." I shook my head.

"No. I will not rest until I save my love from that blasted island." The sun had set a while back. The kids were down in the compartment, sleeping. Launchpad tried to stay awake so I went up to the captains mast. "Go on Launchpad. Go and rest yourself." Launchpad nodded and went to the compartment while I took the steering wheel. Mrs. Beakley came up and sighed. "You have to rest Scrooge." I growled. "For your information, Agent 22, I lost my beloved when I tried to rescue her. But you wouldn't let me." Mrs. Beakleys expression turned to concern. "I know you are upset, and I am sorry I held you back from helping her. But please see to reason about your health." I kept my eyes peeled on the ocean. "I can't just rest. I need to find her and make sure that she is safe." Mrs. Beakley looked at the map and compass. "Then let me take the wheel. When you rest, you can have her in your arms." My eyes began to droop. "Oh alright. I give into your request." I started to head down to the compartment where Huey was still awake. "Lad? Why are you still awake?" I sat beside him as his tears ran down his cheeks. "Is auntie (Y/N) ever going to be rescued?" "Lad, we are going to find her and rescue her from that island."

Huey nodded and wiped his tears away. "Do you love her so much that you want to marry her?" I blushed at the question. "Of course I do. In fact, once we reached the abandoned pyramid, I was going to purpose to her." My eyes watered again for the hundredth time today. Huey put his hand on my shoulder as I pulled out the ring box from my pocket. I opened it slightly, showing him its a golden diamond ring. "Its from the Golden Lagoon that I had crafted for her. I hid it so well so that she didn't grow suspious. When she told me she was pregnant, my heart grew more than the size of me Money Bin." Huey smiled at me as I teared up out of happiness. "That's why I should rest up for tomorrow and hopefully Mrs. Beakley has landed on the island where (Y/N) and my unborn baby is at." I heard Huey yawn and put himself back on the pillow. I covered him back up and went to my own bed. I looked at the picture of (Y/N) and I again. "I'll see you again soon, my darlin'."
