Across Seas Remade Mark II

"She was fine with your parents, Kovu and Bella. They've all fed a baby before."

She sighed. "Yeah I know."

"No point you just sitting here is there? You don't seem to want to want to and I dont intend on moving for a while."

"What if I want to sit here?"

Wyatt shrugged, closing his eyes.

Amora watched the water.

Wyatt remained where he was.

Eventually Amora knew she had to go, so she got to her feet.

"Bye..." Wyatt mumbled sadly.

"Come down to the shore later?" She asked.

Wyatt shook his head in the negative. "No... I don't feel like moving."

"In the morning then?" She asked, kissing his cheek. "I love you."

"Maybe.. Love you too."

She headed off to the ocean.

(( skip? ))

((yeah sure, you post first?))

The next day Bella was still laying beside Kovu, her head on the pillow beside his as she watched him closely.

"I went a few hours ago and Wyatt was still just sat there, soaked through and shivering but he regused to move." Darcy whispered to Jack with a frown.

"He thinks he's alone in this." He told her as he fed the baby.

Kovu was still asleep, he had come. To bed late last night, after making sure his crew were safe and his dad had gave him and Belle the back room.

"Maybe," Darcy frowned, "Or maybe its not that selfish. Kovu got hurt, imagine how you would be if it was worse than it was."

----
Bella gently brushed her fingers through his hair.

"I'm not saying it isn't justified, but he forgets that he has a daughter to look after."

He stirred. Considering be wasn't able to move his legs, he had managed to have the crew deliver a wheeled chair that now. Sat on his side of the bed.

"It's been a day," Darcy reminded, "He came to you and felt he was being told off, he can't go to Kovu when Kovu is dealing with his own problems. Amora can't sit with him like he wants her too and he can't be the support she needs either. The difference here is Amora has you and me. The boy has no one, and he may be grown but in times like this all he is is a lost boy, Jack. All we all need to do is be gentle with him."

---
"Hey sleepy," Bella whispered in greeting.

"Then he needs to come to us." Jack told her. "And Amora cannot come. Onto land, therefore she hasn't got anyone either at the moment."
_____

"Hey, are you alright?"

"I held her yesterday, all you done was made Wuatt feel worse. She doesnt have us immediately but she knows that we wouldn't make her feel like shit. He doesn't." Darcy replied, frustrated. "This is no competition between the two of them. I can go out onto the ocean for Amora, you can't leave land but Wyatt is on land so find your heart and go comfort the boy. He came to you yesterday, Jack. Its not hard to hold someone... You know how to be comforting, you always are to me."

---
"Mhm, are you?"

He sighed. "When she's down for her nap." He nodded to his granddaughter, who was close to fallijf asleep already. "
______

He shrugged." Not much change to be honest. "

Darcy nodded, kissing his cheek gently. "Thank you."

"I meant mentally," Bella whispered. "How're you coping?""
