SOUL REVENGE OF DRAKE

The next day, Bogg, and Jeffrey went to sit on the beach to spend time together. Bogg had wanted some down time with the kid, cuz he REALLY needed to talk with him.
Course, being here on the island had helped the kid. It was even just as good for Morgan. They seemed to have gotten along better, laughing and playing with each other and spending quite a bit of time with each other.

Bogg sighs as the fresh, warm hit blew against his face and allowed his hair to blow. Being a former pirate, the smell of salt water was always a welcome to his nostrils and at time would make him hunger for the sea. But, now with the kid and all the traveling...he was not sure if he missed pirating or not. Wasn't being a Voyager almost as good as being a pirate? Would he go back?

" Bogg?" Jeffrey's voice startled him.
ʽ Yeah, kid?"
" What is the matter? You're awful quiet,"
Bogg turned to face his boy. "Nothing's wrong, kid. My mind kind of wonders every now and then."
Jeffrey nods and smiles. "Yeah, I know what you mean."
" Jeffrey, I know this is gonna be hard, but we DO need to talk about Drake."
Jeffrey shook his head violently.
" No, Bogg. I don't even want to hear that name!"
" Jeff, I know it's gonna be painful, but we gotta talk about it. I know he hurt you, and that he violated you very much. I want to know how you feel about it. I don't want you to keep it bottled inside you."

For the first time in days, tears came flowing down Jeff's face. The visions he had been trying to forget were popping back inside his mind at racing speed.
" Bogg, please..."
"No, Jeff. We have to get past this. He violated me just as he violated you. Maybe not as many times, but he did. Please, kid, let me help you!"
" You have, Bogg, by bringing me here. This place has been wonderful for me."
" Yes, but you have hardly said two words to me since we have been here. And that hurts me, kid."
ʽ I am sorry, Bogg. I don't mean to hurt you," Jeff sighs and looks back out at the ocean.
" I know you don't. Just talk to me, Jeff."

Jeffrey sighs again. He knew Bogg wasn't gonna let it go.
" I do not know HOW I feel, Bogg. I know I hurt, I am confused. Am I gay? What am I? What did I do to deserve what he did to me? Am I gonna act like that some day?"
Bogg looked at his partner. At least he was being honest AND talking.
" No, Jeff, You're not gay,"
"How do I know, Bogg?" Jeff refused to look at his partner when he said,"I'm not sure, but I think at some point at I liked what he did to me."
" Jeff..."
"Bogg, you wanted me to tell you how I feel and I'm doing it."
ʽ I know you are and I am glad. I just do not want you to question your sexuality. You like girls, don't you?"
" Well, duh..." Jeff rolls his eyes.
" Okay, there ya go. You're not gay,"
"Doesn't mean anything, Bogg."

" Okay, Jeff. I want to know how you REALLY feel about Drake,"
"I HATE him, okay, Bogg? I can't EVER get that feeling out of me. Not out of my head or body. No matter what I do!"
Bogg nods. "I know. I feel the same way,"
"How are YOU handling, Bogg?"
Bogg looks over at him. "Hey, we're talking about you, remember? How'd it get changed to me?"
Jeff forced a smile.
" When you mentioned you felt the same way,"
"I was just saying that to let you know I know how you feel. And I'm doing okay with it. He didn't do it to me as much as he did you and."

" Bogg, stop!" Jeffrey hollered, he got up and started to run.
" Jeffrey!" Bogg stood up and chased the boy.

" Jeffrey!" Bogg finally got close enough to tackle the boy into the water.
" No! Let me go!" Jeffrey cried.
Bogg grabbed Jeff in a bear hug, wrapped him tight in his arms.
" Jeff..."
"Bogg, help me!" Jeffrey cried.
" I'd like to Jeff..."

As they Bogg and Jeffrey at the beach, Olivia stretches on the chair. She looks over at Morgan, who was leaning on the front porch beam.

She sighs and stands up to stand next to Morgan.

" Morgan, I want you to tell me something," she says.
Morgan turns to face her.
" What is that?"
" Have you any nightmares lately?"

Morgan turned back to the scene of Bogg and Jeffrey. She did not want to talk about it, not to Olivia, to anyone.
Knowing Olivia, the older voyager would NOT back down. She did not even tell Jeffrey about it. Morgan knew that even the mention of Drake's name infuriated Jeffrey.
" Morgan...."

She sighs. "All right, all right. If it'll keep you from bugging me all day."
" It will," Olivia nodded.

" I had one the night when Jeff and I were at the hut."
" What hut, Morgan?"
Morgan winced. She had sworn to Jeffrey she would not say anything about the hut, but there she did it. She let the secret she shared with Jeff. And she blew it.
" Morgan? Are you all right?"
" I'm fine, Liv. It's just that it's hard to talk about it right now."
" I know you are in pain, I can feel it. I can see it and sense it. I also don't like that you're not telling me things,"

Morgan looked over at her partner for a minute before she went back to watching Bogg and Jeffrey.

" I can't take it any more, Liv. I can't forget what Drake made Jeff, I do, and it doesn't matter WHAT I do to try to forget it. I was hoping when we came here, the fresh air and being with Jeffrey would make me forget, but it doesn't. Nothing will help, Olivia! Nothing!" Morgan said, burying her face in her hands, feeling ashamed.
Olivia pulls the hands away.
"Morgan, honey, that's only natural and I'm glad you're finally able to tell me your feelings. It is not good for a person to keep them bottling them up inside, not even for you. You've seen Jeffrey, how easy it is for him to tell how he's feeling."
" That is why he is emotional. I'm not,"
"You're not emotional now?"
" Not like Jeffrey,"
"Jeffrey's different, Morgan. He has been taught to show his feelings, you have not. I'd like to 'retrain' you, if I can."

Morgan sighed. "I know Jeff's different. That is why I..." Morgan was going to say,"love" but she changed it. "That's what I like about him."
" How did we get to Jeffrey? When we were talking about your dream?"
" Oh, my dream."
" Yes, your dream."

" Well, I was dreaming about Drake. I dreamt that I was watching Drake fucking Jeffrey. I was trying to holler to them, but they could not hear me. Drake kept fucking him. I also could not move to run to them, to make Drake stop. Then, Drake came after me and Jeff just stood there, like he could not move or anything. Drake came to me, starting to put his hands on me. In my dream, I couldn't move, I couldn't even scream to Jeffrey."

Olivia gasped. She had no idea that Morgan was going through all this, especially dealing with this dream alone. She spent so much time with Jeffrey now, did she tell the boy anything?

" Does Jeffrey know about this dream?"

Morgan nods. "He does. But, he does not know it was about Drake. He does not even want to hear that name. If I say Drake's name, he goes berserk on me. He doesn't know the full extent of the dream, he just knows I had one and it was pretty bad."
" Oh, Morgan. It sounds like Drake has really messed you two up!"
" Olivia, I don't deserve to have someone like Jeffrey."
" Morgan Jacobs! How could you say that?"
" I am just not worthy. I am dirty, Liv. Just plain dirty!"
" Now you listen to me, Morgan. Just because Drake did that to you and Jeffrey do not make you dirty! It's Drake who's the dirty one and he's behind bars."
Morgan crossed her arms in order to hug herself. She wasn't used to people telling her things like that and it made her nervous.

" Morgan, how can I convince that you are a beautiful young girl who has a whole life ahead of her? Don't you know how much you are loved? Forget about Drake and just allow the people who love you take care of you,"
"I can't, Liv. I'm not used to that,"
"Get used to it! Morgan Jacobs, I love you. I love you as if you were my own daughter,"
"But, I'm not your daughter, Liv."
" Would you like to be?"

Morgan looks at her partner in shock. Yes, she loved Olivia. More than she could ever know. Now Olivia was asking about making her a daughter? Could she deal with that?

" Olivia, I'm just not that sure." Morgan sighs, wanting nothing else in the world to be Olivia's daughter.
" What's holding you back?"
" Whenever something good happens to me, or if I start to love someone, they get taken away from me."
" Oh, Morgan, that will not happen! I'm NEVER going to leave you!" tears sprung into Olivia's eyes.
" You won't?"
" Honey, I couldn't leave you if I tried!"

At that moment, Bogg and Jeffrey came back from the ocean. Morgan could see Jeff had been crying and she looked at him questionably.
Jeffrey shook his head.
" Any one hungry?" Bogg asked, holding him up his bundle of fish.
" Yeah, the fish got hungry, so now they're gonna feed the pig!" Jeffrey teases Bogg, nudging the pirate in the arm.
Bogg moans. "Smart kids give me a pain,"

"Hmmm, they sure look good, Phineas. Would you like me to trim them?" Olivia smiled, trying to hide her excitement.
Phineas smiles back at her. "Sure, why not? I'll come help you."
The two older voyagers left the living room and went to the kitchen, leaving Jeff and Morgan alone.

" Jeffrey?"
" Hmm?"
" Did Bogg grill you?" she asked.
" But of course. I could not help it, Morgan. I opened to him. He just kept bugging me and pressuring me,"
"Same with Olivia. I could not tell her everything. And Jeffrey?"
" Yeah?"
" I told Olivia about our hut,"
Jeff turned to face her. "You didn't!"
" Jeffrey, it just came out! I didn't mean to do it, it just came out."
" It's okay, Morgan. I told Bogg,"
"Oh,"
"Did you say anything of what we did?"
" No! I could never tell them that!"

Jeffrey sighed. "That's a relief," he said.
" Shouldn't I have told her?" Morgan asked.
" No, it is okay. You didn't tell her where it was, did you?"
" No, Jeffrey It wouldn't be our own, special place, would it?"
" You're right," Jeff nodded.

Bogg and Olivia came back in.

" Well, the couch is in one piece." Bogg said.
" Bogg!" Jeff moaned.
" Sorry,"
"It is okay;" Jeffrey shrugged.

" Phineas, can I ask you a question?"
" You just did!"

Everyone laughed at Bogg's little joke as he grinned. Jeff loved this time. Everyone was cherry and laughing, no one worried about Drake or a red light zone. God, why did THAT name have to come up? He shuddered when the name came to his mind.

" Jeffrey? You okay?" Bogg asked him.
" Yeah, I'm fine." Liar.

Olivia turned to face Morgan. "Morgan, may I ask you something?"
" Sure, Liv. What?"
" I-I-"
"What's the matter, Liv? Cat got your tongue?" Bogg asked.
Jeffrey playfully hit him on the arm. "Can it, Bogg. Can't you see it's serious?"
" Oh, sorry." Bogg sighs.

" Morgan, we have been together for a couple of years now. I loved you as a daughter and now I would like to make it official. Would you allow me to adopt you?"

Morgan's mouth dropped opens, her eyes wide. She never expected this, in a million years! Someone actually wanted her! For who she was, with or without flaws.
" I-I don't know what to say," she said when she found her voice.
" Say yes!" Jeff hollered.
" Jeff," Bogg scolded.

Morgan looked at Olivia. "You really want me?"
" Of course, you silly egg! I wouldn't have asked the question if I didn't!" Olivia smiled.
" I don't want you to regret it later and leave me,"
"Morgan Jacobs, how many times do I have tell you? I will NEVER leave you!"
" Then it's a yes!" Morgan squealed with delight. She threw her arms around Olivia's neck and the two women hugged each other.

" Wow...I don't if this is a good time or not," Bogg said.
" What is it, Bogg? What's wrong?" Jeff asked, concerned when he saw the look on Bogg's face. It was different. It was not sad, but it was not happy, either. Now Jeff was getting nervous.

Bogg smiled. "It's okay, kid. It is not that bad. At least, I hope it won't be." Nervously, Bogg turned to face Jeff. He was tied all up in knots, not knowing really what to say.
" Kid, I want to adopt you." There. Plain, short, simple and sweet.
" What?" Jeff gasped, was not ready for this. He knew Bogg loved him and he loved Bogg. He all ready felt Bogg was his father, in his heart and mind.
" I want to be your father,"
"Really?"
" Kid, how do I have to spell it out for you? I want to adopt you!"
" Yes!"
" Yes? You said yes?" Bogg's bright blue eyes widened.
"Yes, yes, yes! Three times over!" Jeff wrapped his arms around the pirate, who in turn wrapped his strong arms around his son. HIS SON!

Then, it happened...Bogg's Omni beeped on his belt.
