Chapter 4
The next morning Alfred woke up to the smell of something delicious. He opened his eyes to see Gabby surrounded by blankets, with her fists and legs spread out, as she slept like a baby. He chuckled at the sight, and got up. Then he looked around to find his navy jacket and pants gone. He looked around frantically for his uniform, but sighed seeing as they were no where in sight. While he was looking around for his uniform, he failed to notice a certain little girl who had awoken from her sleep to watch him with amusement. "Cawptain Jownes... Are you owkay?" she asked in her regular voice. "Yes, I am fine... I just can't find my clothes..." Alfred said scratching the back of his head and looking at the amused Gabby with a confused face. "What is iwt?" she asked as he looked at her. "Why are you talking like that?... And quit calling me Captain Jones... Alfred is okay." Alfred said as he watched the child waddle off of the bed. "Thiws iws my nowmal langwage... I usuwally awm abwle to contwol how I tawlk, buwt I awm tiwred wight now... awnd okay Awlfwed..." Gabby said as she wobbled out the door downstairs with her blanket wrapped around her. Alfred couldn't hold back anymore, and he laughed. "Oh my god! That is so adorable!" Alfred laughed as he followed the child. "Be quwiet..." she said embarrassed, as she made it to the table, and sat down... "Owh my lowrd! You hawve gowt to be kiwdding me!" she yelled. She could barely see over the table, because she was small, "Mawma! We gowt a sewious situwation hewre!" she yelled mad. Arthur, who was bringing over three plates of food just chuckled. "I told you to get a cushion, but you always forget." Arthur said as he gave Alfred a plate, and took the plate that was on his head off of his head and in front of Gabby. "I know, buwt I down't wike the thiwng..." Gabby mumbled, and Arthur just rolled his eyes, and pulled her onto his lap. "There, now you can eat." Arthur said, as he ate his own food. "Thawnk you mawma..." Gabby said, and she ate it. Alfred looked at his food to find that the food actually looked good. "I thought you were a bad cook... but this is surprisingly good." Alfred said after taking one bite. Arthur almost choked on his food as he blushed hard. "You sodding git! I happen to be a very good cook!" Arthur puffed as he grumbled and ate his food. Alfred just chuckled, "Wow... didn't know the great Pirate Arthur could get offended just because of his own cooking." "Shut up..." Arthur said, and finished his plate. After they ate, Arthur did the dishes, and Alfred was playing with Gabby.
"So Gabby... would you like a treat?" Alfred said holding out a piece of candy. "Oh! Yews pwease!" Gabby giggled as she tried to reach for the candy. "But wait! You gotta tell me something first." Alfred said as he pulled the candy away. "Giwve me cawndy fiwrst, awnd I will tewll you anything you want!" Gabby bargained with a grin. Alfred sighed and gave her the candy, and she popped it into her mouth. "Owkay... what do you wawnt to know?" she asked happily. "Who is your father?" Alfred asked seriously. He had to know. That one subject was bothering him the entire time he had discovered that Arthur had a kid a few years ago. Who was the dad? Gabby looked at Alfred with a serious face. 'Why are you interested in that topic...'
"My fawther iws my fawther, duh. What ewlse would my fawther be, unlwess he were to be my mowther, which iws highwly douwbtful siwnce Awrthur was the one who conceiwved me thawnks to mawgic." Gabby answered smartly with a smirk, "You weren't being vewry speciwfic..." Alfred groaned as Gabby skipped away with the candy in her mouth. 'That girl was smart... too smart for a six year old... She must have gotten it from her mom.' Alfred thought to himself as he stood up, and walked into the kitchen.
"So Alfred... Where will you be taking us today?" Arthur said as he dried his hands. "That's a secret. But first I need my uniform... but I can't seem to find it." Alfred said, as he looked down. "Oh, it's drying on the clothing line outside... I washed it, because it smelled a lot." Arthur said with a disgusted face. "What! It wasn't that bad... was it?" Alfred asked in shame and looked down. "Oh, it was bad. It smelled like ten thousand fish were dying on the inside yelling 'help! Can't breathe! We can see the light!'" Arthur said in a mock voice, "Jeez, for a Navy Captain you sure don't clean your clothes." Alfred just laughed, "This coming from a pirate? That's ironic." "Well at least I take care of my hygiene, unlike you." Arthur laughed along with Alfred. "True, but it isn't my fault. I have over 50 crew members on my ship. What makes you think I would have enough time to wash my clothes." Alfred said as he wiped away a tear from laughing too hard. "That's what crew members are for! Some of them can look after your place on the ship, while you could go and wash your clothes, or you could ask one of them to do it for you." Arthur informed Alfred. "I know, but it takes time. Plus, I'm also capturing evil pirates 24/7..." Alfred said, and Arthur got a little quiet. Alfred realized his mistake about mentioning pirates being evil and blushed embarrassed. "Not that you and Gabby are bad pirates or anything! I'm just talking about the ones who do bad things! Ya know! I mean, your crew probably isn't bad either, but I don't know. I've never met them. I mean I met you and Gabby and you two seem kind of cool... and now I am just running on and on about stuff, I am sorry. I forgot that you two are also pirates for a moment, and I didn't think about what my choice of words, and I mu-" Alfred's ramble was interrupted by the sound of Arthur's laughter. "Alfred, it's alright. I get it. There's no need to make such a fuss about it." Arthur said as he wiped away the tears from his eyes, since he laughed a little too hard. Alfred sighed in relief, but his blush never went away. "That's good... sorry... I'm not used to being so open with... with a pirate such as yourself." Alfred said honestly. "I understand. It's kind of different when you actually take the time to know someone, right?" Arthur answered with a soft smile, and Alfred nodded. "Why don't you go get your uniform on? I'll get Gabby and we'll get ready, alright?" Arthur said as he walked passed Alfred, who had only nodded and went to the clothing line.
Arthur sighed as he saw Gabby eavesdropping. "What are you doing love?" Arthur asked. "Twying to see iwf my pwan is working..." she answered. "What plan?" Arthur asked. "It's a secwet..." she said, and ran upstairs to get ready. Arthur followed after her, and also got ready. He obviously wore his pirate uniform, and Gabby wore hers. it was a little similar... but smaller, and her sword was silver... not gold, whereas Arthur's sword was gold. Once they got downstairs again, Alfred was waiting by the entrance for them. "Ready?" he asked the two, who nodded in response. "Lead the way Captain Jones." Arthur joked with a smirk, as he held Gabby's hand. Alfred nodded, and grinned as he pulled them outside to see a-
