Chapter 72 - Probably Mine

"Uh..it's a three-seater in a row." Brian turned to looks at Luna and the kids. They have to divide into two groups and one of them has to sit with Jamal and Raymond.

"It's okay, I'll seat with the kids," Said Luna and when she went inside the sitting row, Lily's face turns a bit pale. She got seasick and easily get dizzy, especially if there are so many people around her.

She tugs her hand on Brian's three-quarter pants. "Daddy.." She holds her mouth from vomiting, really..she feels so sick right now.

"Are you okay, baby?" He then carries her into his arm and Lily nodded her head with slowly.

"I'm dizzy." She covers her face on Brian's chest. Not wanting to separate from him.

Jamal and Raymond already take the same row seat at the right side while Brian looks at Luna with a bit guilty. He can't just let her daughter feel sick like this, and Luna understand his circumstance, she had to sacrifice Alex's seat.

"Alex, baby.."

"It's okay, Mama. I'll sit with that uncle over here." He then happily turn around and lift up his eyebrow to the man who still wore the sunglasses inside the cabin, even though there's no sunlight right now. "Move over, uncle," Alex said to the man.

"I'll take a look at him," Brian said, he then places Lily at the middle seat between him and Luna.

"Mm." Luna nodded and she rummages inside her bag, finding a seasick reliever for Lily. "Here, honey. Drink this and close your eyes. Try to sleep, okay?"

Lily take the medicine from Luna's hand and drank it before she leaned back on the seat and close her eyes like her mama's instruction. "Mm...I feel sick.." She murmurs and rubs her forehead a few times.

"I know..it'll disappear soon." Luna tries to calm her down. She also hopes that Alex will be just fine sitting there close with his real father.

…

Twenty minutes after the ferry leaves the jetty, Alex saw Lily already fall asleep, while his mother was indulged in a conversation with his daddy, chatting about something fun maybe?

He then turns to the man who engrossed with a magazine in his hand while their so-called 'tour guide' already sleeps like a log.

He nudged the man beside him. "Hey,"

Raymond glance at the kid who nudges his elbow before he 'hmm' to him.

"Did you send it yet?" he asked with a low voice. Hoping that their conversation will not be heard by his daddy.

"I've got it done. Don't worry, buddy." Raymond ruffles Alex's hair and curled up his lips.

"When the result will be out?" He asks again while slapping Raymond's hand from messing up his hair. It takes a lot of effort to manage his bed hair today.

"You're so impatient. Just wait for a few more days." Raymond then squinted his eyes a bit. Thinking who's personality did this kid take after.

'Oh, probably mine.' He chuckles.

"Hey kid, what are you gonna call me when the result is out?" He tries to be close with him by intriguing him with the excitement if he is his son.

"Huh? Stupid? Idiot? What else? Jerk?" Alex taps his little finger on his chin, pretending like he was thinking hard.

Like a flash, Raymond pinches his chubby cheek before he pulls it up and down. "Uh-huh? Who teach you those words?"

Alex then pinches back Raymond's hand while signaling him to release his hand from pinching his cheek or else, he would start shouting, alarming his mama and daddy at the other side of the row.

"Tch!" Raymond then releases his hand and says again "I prefer you to start calling me papa. Sound cute, don't you think?"

Alex rolled his eyes while touching his red cheek. "Okay then, pop."

"What? Come on..that's so lame." Raymond still persuades him to call him 'papa' .

"Old man."

"Wrong, call me papa. Come on, say it."

"Tch! Wait until the result is out." Alex clicked his tongue and cross his small arm into his chest which makes Raymond laugh softly.

Amused with his action. How nice if he was there when Alex's is still a baby. With that thought, he feels a bit melancholy. Upset that he doesn't found him earlier.

He touches Alex's head and brings it close to his lips. Kissing him lightly and whisper. "I'll wait until you call me papa."

Luna was a bit startled when she unintentionally saw something that Raymond do to Alex. It was enough to make her heart pounding as it will explode anytime.

"What's the matter?" Brian asked, looking at her green eyes, blocking the view of Raymond and Alex at the other side of the sitting row.

Scrunching a bit, Luna shakes her head. "Uh…no, I just..ahem.." She clearing her throat a bit which feels a little bit dry.

"I'm sorry we have to go through the crowded. You know..I-"

"Oh, that's okay. We can have another vacation next time. And…it'll be fully on me." Brian said to which Luna only give him a smile.

She glances at Raymond again, but he already reading the magazine in his hand while Alex playing his game on his Nintendo Switch device.

'Maybe Raymond just comforting Alex?' She feels a bit relax and avert her eyes back to Lily who soundly asleep beside her.

The journey from jetty to the island takes about 40 minutes and they need to exchange from ferry to the open passenger boat because they get off at the area which doesn't have jetty for people to cross, they have to transfer to the boat and the boat will bring them to the shore.

It's said for the island to keep their coral and water so that it'll remain unstained and maintaining the marine life ecosystem around the bay. The beaches were so white and the sand also looks sparkling from afar. The water is the combination of green, blue and turquoise color. It was so beautiful and scenic view.

"We've arrived," Jamal said while looking at them with a big smile on his face. Because it's already a bit hot right now, they decide to put on the hat and sunglasses before they get off from the boat.

So many tourists from another country also come here. It was listed in this country as the best place to dive, so Luna thought she wants to experience the diving activity in here.

But, first..they have to check-in the hotel before they start their activity today.
