Hope Jones The Pirate Princess

Kids

After a crappy day at work Hope made her way home only to find Dalton wasn't home but he had made it onto the news and it only made Hopes bad mood one thousand times worse
King Dalton and Queen Melody to provide the kingdom with its next heir this winter!
Hope couldn't believe what she was hearing, as if that woman hadn't done enough to wind her up that day. Whilst Hope had been giving orders Sam had come crashing through her office doors yelling that Melody had sent orders that the current fleet of ships had to be brought back as she didn't think it was important enough to use the kingdoms money for.
Just as Hope thought she had heard enough the phone rang, she picked it up and saw that it was Dalton
Hey,
Hey so I take it you've seen the news?
Yeah I'm just hoping this is a 'it's not mine' call,
Don't worry it is!
Thank god! Honestly after what she's done today if that child would've been yours I would've had no problems filleting the bitch!
Woah! Calm down sailor! Sam called me about that and I spoke to Mel, she apologised and had the fleet turn around and head back
Don't 'Mel' her she's a dick! So what? Now she's the good queen again because she agreed to send them back out after already sticking her fishy fingers in!
Don't be like that Hope!
I've got a right to be mad! Babe, she completely trashed the mission! There's no way we're going to be able to catch up to Turner and the chest now!
I know,
I don't think you do! We've been chasing him for three months now and that was the closest we'd been before Melody had them turn around! I swear if that woman wasn't pregnant she'd be sleeping with the fishes!
I don't blame you! But right now you need to calm down, go for a bath watch your crap on TV and I'll get home as soon as possible!
Ok, I love you!
I love you too!
After she'd hung up Hope followed Daltons orders after which she found him sat in his study screaming at someone down the phone. Great now I'm calm he's riled up! She thought to herself.
She walked straight past the study and headed for the kitchen before returning to him with a plate of cookies and milk just like his mother used to make for him on the occasion she was feeling especially maternal.
She set the plate down beside him and sat herself on the desk beside him running her fingers through her hair as she listened to him on the phone.
It suddenly became very obvious who he was talking to, it was his father. Thomas was insisting they tell the kingdom that he and Hope were divorcing and that Melody's child was his but Dalton refused to lie to his people. As far as his people were aware Melody was only Queen because Hope didn't want to be (it wasn't exactly a lie but it wasn't the truth either).
Hope very quickly snatched the phone from Dalton and flicked it onto speaker so they could both hear him yelling
You will do as I say Dalton or I will put Darling on the throne!
Darling doesn't want the throne father! She's in the midst of a very messy divorce, as you very well know, whilst also caring for your granddaughter!
And that's another thing Dalton! Melody will happily give you this child as the heir to the throne but that pirate your married to... I'd be surprised if she had a maternal bone in her body!
Thomas, I may not have given Dalton a child... yet, but to be honest I don't really think that's your concern! You are no longer the king so if you'd kindly stop interfering in Daltons reign it'd be kindly appreciated. Oh and for the record I'm not a pirate but I'm sure my father and his crew would happily show you what a pirate looks like!
With that she hung up the phone whilst she and Dalton burst into fits of laughter. They both knew Thomas was terrified of Killian, but only because they'd had a few run ins before her parents met.
She was furious that Thomas had insulted her, twice, but she knew he did have a point. Hope and Dalton still didn't have a child but at this point it wasn't because they didn't want one it was because they didn't have the time.
If having Darling and Destiny living with them taught them anything it was that they most certainly didn't have the time to raise a child. Hope helped Darling as much as she could when she wasn't busy and they both absolutely adored Destiny.
"Hope? Dalton?" Darling yelled as she and Destiny came in through the front door absolutely soaking
"Don't come any further!" Hope laughed as she saw how filthy Destiny had managed to get herself on the short walk from the carriage to the front door
"I know! I know!" Darling giggled
"What's with all the shouting?" Dalton asked as he made his way out of the study
"Uncle Dalton! Your here!" Destiny squealed as she kicked off her boots
"Hey Dest! Of course I'm here I live here," he laughed before finishing their conversation "how was school?"
"Boring!"
"Schools always boring!" He smiled
"You loved school!" Hope reminded him and as much as he hated to admit it he did and he missed it. In fact if he wasn't the king he probably would have become a football coach at Enchantica.
Darling politely asked Hope if she and Dalton would watch Destiny for the night whilst she headed to the court Hope couldn't say no. So after Darling had left Hope made quick work of dinner before throwing Destiny in the bath.
"I could've done that!" Dalton smiled as Hope dressed Destiny
"I know, I wanted to!" She smiled as she tapped Destiny's nose
"Dalton, take me to bed?" Destiny yawned as she threw her arms around his legs
"Of course" he smiled earning a look of awe from Hope. It took him an hour to get her to sleep but when he did he made his way to the lounge where Hope had fallen asleep on the couch. He slid underneath her and switched the channel
"Hey! I was watching that!" She yawned
"Hope, you were asleep!" He laughed
"I was not!"
"You most definitely were baby!"
"Speaking of... what do you say we think about having one?"
"I would say yes! What could possibly be better than a little you running around?"
"I wouldn't count on it being exactly like me!"
"Why not? Looking at your dad and then at you I'd say the Jones genes run pretty strong!"
"Yeah I guess they do! But it might look like you and Darling!"
"Maybe, I mean she would certainly be thrilled considering Dest looks so much like Elijah and Anna!"
"She does doesn't she!" Hope yawned snuggling into Daltons chest
"I told you that you were sleepy!"
"No you didn't!"
"Come on!" He smiled shutting off the TV and carrying her up to their room.
