Baby {JJ Maybank}

10.

"JJ," Josie groaned and held her hands out to him

"Yes, baby?" He asked and walked over to her

"I wanna hug," she said still slightly tipsy

"Okay," he laughed and she wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head on his chest

"You looked good in a tux" Josie said and turned her head to look at him

"And you look beautiful all the time," JJ smiled down and her

She turned her head back to avoid him seeing the blush that crept up her neck

"Josie, JJ! Get your asses over here!" John B yelled and they walked over hand in hand to the fire

"Hey, guys. So, like, my dads already gonna kill me. So what's this mandatory meeting about?" Pope said sitting down next to JJ and Josie

John B looked at JJ and fired finger guns at him and he looked over at Pope

"Might as well tell him, man, before we're gaffed," JJ said to John B

"Tell us what?" Josie asked looking between her brother and the blond

"You ready for this?" John B asked to the group

"Yeah." Kie answered after no body else did

"So, the gold never went down with the Royal Merchant-" John B started but Pope was quick to stop him

"Oh, my God. Here we go again with this." Pope said obviously annoyed

"No. All right, wait. Hear him out, all right?" JJ said looking at pope

"It's been here the whole time. It's in the Island" John b said with a smirk

"That doesn't make sense. It could get off the boat" Josie argued

"Seriously? Oh my, God" Kie said with a small chuckle

"I'd like to voice my skepticism" Pope said making Josie giggle

"I'm sure you would, Pope, but can I please present you with my evidence, Sir?" John B

said holding out an arm to him

"Proceed," Pope said waving him off

"Alright. So, in my backpack, I have a letter from Denmark Tanny," John B said holding up a folded piece of paper

"Who the hell's that?" Kie asked quickly

"Wait, wasn't he one of the slaves in the Merchant?!" Josie said a little too excitedly

"Ding ding ding!" John B said pointing to her and she did a small bow

"But here the kicker, he survived. Check this out," John B said and handed a paper to Kiara

"What?" Her and Kie said at the same time.

"Okay, slaves weren't mentioned as crew members on the ship, but dad, he found the complete manifest," John b said looking at pope

"Yeah, his big discovery. I would like to add, I helped with that," Josie said smiling widely

"I'm sure you did, jo" JJ said and pulled her into his side

"Whatever, so Tanny used the gold from the Merchant to buy his freedom." John b said and Kie whistled getting Josie attention and she passed her the letter

"This is kinda cool," Josie said running her finger along the paper. JJ snatched it from her hand and handed it to Pope causing her to hit his arm

"After that, he bought his farm. Drumroll, please, because that farm is..." John B started and Kie and Josie started slapping there knees to make a drum roll
