"On you."

"Why me?"

"Well if you want me then I'll stay..."

"I do, most of the crew do, Amora does."

"Most of the crew? No.."

He nodded.

"I- I'm barely there. Peoole barely notice me."

"Believe me they do."

Eventually Amora brought Rico up into the ship as it got cold and dark and she took him to his room to help him. Change for bed.

"Are you and dad going t be mad at each other for long over me?" Rico asked with a frown.

"Wh- why?"

"It's not over you baby" She promised him as she helped him to dry off and change into night clothes.

He shrugged.

"Yes it is, I'm not dumb."

"It's about other things, but don't you worry, mummy and daddy will be fine." She told him.

"Good because I made you both a ring."

"A ring?" She asked.

He nodded, pulling it out of his pocket and offering it to her. "You and dad need to get married so I made it so you have no choice but to ask each other."

She smiled. "And you made this all by yourself?" She asked. "Why don't we go and see if dad is awake so you can. Show. Him?"

"No," Rico frowned. "You need to use it to ask him to marry you. Since hes too scared to ask.

She nodded. "Alright baby." She told him. "Do you want to come. And say goodnight?"

Rico shook his head in the negative. "Can I just sleep?"

She nodded. "Okay darling."

"Night."

"Good night darling." She pulled the blanket over him.

Rico closed his eyes. Not taking long until he was fast asleep.

Amora smiled and she looked at the ring he had made before she took it with her as she went to see if Wyatt was still awake.

Wyatt was awake, but only just. Drifting in and out.
