.. ⚓ Sammich & labradoodle.![]()
.. ⚓ Jezebel and Rolo Benjamin.
.. ⚓ Everyone knows as well as I do that sometimes it can be a pain to find just the right bean to fit your concepts of a dream bean. I have struggled with this for who knows how long, and I decided why not give this bean a try? The looks of a bean are not nearly as important as the personality and love that comes with them. As I build this form, I'm connecting more and more to this lovely mystery, and have connected more than I ever could have with a bean just by appearance.![]()
.. ⚓ If I were to win, I would be keeping the baby, Most likely with the gender of a male.

- .. ⚓ The deep blue sea sparkled under the light of the sun, a breeze cold enough to chill your bones ripped through the air. It was early morning, and out on the oceans waters a lone ship strayed, bobbing back and forth, drifting towards town. The sky remained bright blue, the clouds fluffing across the horizon like fluffy balls of cotton waiting to be snuggled On the shore that was soon to be spotted, the land was flecked with freckles of trees and nature that were strewn over with snow and ice. From the sky glistening snowflakes swayed back and forth on their journey to rest on the ground below.
.. ⚓ "Ahoy Loves! I have spotted Land!" Her voice pierced through the cold winter breeze like music, a beautiful melody dancing and swirling through ones ears. She was a beautiful lass, short but curvy, her hair flowing freely around her shoulders like black curtains that hung from a royal room. A shiver shook her as she pointed ahead at what appeared to be land. They were the place she had once called home before her and her mate had gotten lost at sea in an almost tragic event. Now, after her agonizing time stranded on an island with her newly formed family, the dearest lass had completed her dangerous voyage with more hope than she had ever had before. With one look into her eyes one might just see this.

- .. ⚓ It was not long before that the family of four set foot on the the earth two of them had once known before, stepping off of their ship and into the cold snow. "Jezebel! Quick, catch!" The voice was gruff and friendly, a welcoming tone mixing with his words. A giggle slid from Jezebels lips "Rolo?" The lass turned around, squeaking as she opened her arms to catch the last coconut they had left from the island. The last of their food for the end of their journey. Her eyes gleamed with admiration as she stared at her husband, and looked over their two children snuggled safely in his pouch "Love, this is going to be the best Christmas we've ever spent together." She stepped over to him, and offered him a sweet kiss on the lips, expressing her affection for him. With their children safe and warm the two wasted no time and began to trudge through the snow, a sight not seen for quite a long time, and the lady's short legs struggled in the deep snow. She shook with shivers, having very little to keep her warm. After they had been on the tropical island so long, she had forgotten how cold it got at her old home.
.. ⚓ They walked through the woods for what seemed like ages, the cold weather and long distance soon taking toll on Jezebel. She did not say a word during their whole walk and she merely trudged on, Rolo's arms wrapped tightly around her until he noticed her legs shaking. "One moment," he said, looking at her with love and sympathy, pausing and taking his scarf off, wrapping it gently around her neck. He scooped her up in his arms and continued on through the snow.
To be Continued....

- ✘ What are you getting your children for Christmas?
.. ⚓ Well I get them what they want of course, but I never give them too much. A person should be allowed to get the things that they need in life, and sometimes the perfect little rewards here and there but no one should ever get all the things in the world without doing work, even on Christmas. I will do my best to spoil them rotten anyways, just not completely rotten.
- ✘ How are you going to get all that money?
.. ⚓ For what? The presents? I would never waste money on presents that the kids don't need to survive, but that doesn't mean they aren't getting Christmas of course. I am a pirate, I am loaded with money, but that's for family emergencies, you can't steal health care. On the other hand, yes, I do my job and I pirate for the presents. I would do anything to make the holiday season happy and memorable for my little angels.
- ✘ Won't that teach them bad morals?
.. ⚓ Of course not! I am obviously working to get the money for their things. People have insurance for their things anyways, so whats wrong with just taking a few things that will be replaced to make some kids happy? I see no harm in it at all. It's not illegal if you don't get caught.

- .. ⚓ Jezebel blushed, a warm smile spreading across her face and she leaned in against her mate. The sun was high in the afternoon and it shone brightly, a blanket of false warmth falling over the woods. She closed her eyes, nearly dozing off until she felt Rolo's pace quicken, and she opened her eyes once more to see what had changed his step. Up ahead sat the park from her childhood. Her eyes gleamed with excitement and she wiggled out of Rolo's grip, a screech of delight escaping her throat as she ran for the park. During her run she tumbled to a stop letting her children and her mate run ahead, something dark in the snow catching her eye. She couldn't believe her eyes at first and she gasped stepping carefully next to the object. When she raveled her arms around the egg she shivered feeling the lack of warmth, and a frown fell upon her face. She blushed, looking around and running to Rolo, a look of urgency in her eyes "Rolo! Roolooo! Look what I've found!" She called.

- .. ⚓ Standing next to Rolo, she showed him the egg, trying to keep it warm all the while. "A-An egg?" He asked her, curious. "May I?" He asked her. She slowly handed the egg over to him, tilting her head "The WORST Christmas Present ever..." Jezebel read it aloud from where she stood. Rolo looked at her quickly, horrified "What? How could you say that?!" "No! No! Thats what the card on it says!" She pointed to the end of the string "It's horrible!" She exclaimed. Rolo nodded "Hold on." He handed her the egg, grabbing the card, a smile spreading across his face as he pulled something black from his pouch. Reaching his arm up he used a marker and scribbled on the tag "There, the BEST Christmas present ever!" He looked up at Jezebel. "I think we should keep it," he told her.

- .. ⚓ The family agreed to keep the baby, and take care of it as if it were their own. Jezebel and the family spent some time on a swing, cradling the egg. She cooed with joy and she sighed, letting out a hum, a tune coming from her throat, before she began to sing a lullaby......

Jezebel's Lullaby
"Set the sails the time has come,
Best prepare our journeys begun
The clouds they swirl, a storm has formed
but worry not child, your safe and warm
Off we go, Atlantic at show
Protect you we will from the rain and snow
The waters rough, the waves they churn
the storm goes on, the lightening burns
I smell your fear, i see your tears
I ensure you child this path is clear
You Once were lost, but now youre mine
Protect you I will, a permanent bind
The ship it rocks in dangers of water
its only salt dear whats the matter
The clouds will clear and the sun will shine
Swim we will, together some time
Just hush for now were almost done
I see the land, youll soon be home
Throw the anchor, Still at the docks
I promise well stay, Anchor in rocks
Child were home, please smile my dear
Weve made it together, its time for cheer
Open your eyes, its time to smile
Just promise me child, youll stay for a while."
Song Written and Sung by Me

- .. ⚓ After visiting the park the family had decided to visit the shops around town, a time of fun for the parents and the kids. Putting their pirating skills to work, the children distracted the store owners with their new egg as Jezebel and Rolo collected presents for the family. Stuffing many things into bags and their pouches the family quickly collected a large amount of good Christmas presents and things. Full of fun and stress, their Christmas shopping was merely complete. With the parents tired, and the children giggling the family headed to find a place to call home for the night, for they were unable to spend time finding a place to live.

- .. ⚓ Up on the top of a hill an abandoned home sat, worn down by ages of tear and lack of care. The grass was overgrown and the windows boarded up. To others the home might looks unlivable, but to the family it looked just right. They hauled their presents and decorations into the home, setting up. For a while everyone relaxed, children played, parents planned, and all the while the egg was loved by all. Taking silly photos with the family, and playing pirate games everyone was having a good time. Rolo and Jezebel waited for the children to fall asleep, curling the egg up with its new siblings, and quickly got to work on being Pirate Santa Claus's. They worked hard stocking presents in the corner, putting up stuffed stalkings, and putting store made cookies on the table left in the building before curling up together and falling asleep in await for Christmas day.

Whilst waiting for the egg to hatch, Jezebel and Rolo grabbed an old camera they had found on the fireplace top, and began taking pictures. While the film developed the camera dropped, and the pictures were a bit messed up... whoops.

- .. ⚓ How did the parents and the family prepare to make sure the baby started its life in the most perfect place? They Pirate-ed it up of course! they started by Filling a room with a crib and a bunch of baby toys, getting lots of baby food, and of course, singing pirate tunes to the baby while it's still in the egg. Why not start early? The family is also preparing to get a new camera to get pictures, and Mia and Cosmo are excited to play with their new adopted sibling!
- ✘ Cosmo;;
.. ⚓ "Alright, I'll type it right here: I think the eggy is cool!! I hope it will be, hmmm! A boy! It look like it might be a boy. I like the egg because it looks like a big rock. I wanna sit on it, but it might break the egg. It looks like with the red string, it might be a reindeer!!"
- ✘ Jezebel;;
.. ⚓ "I am thankful to find something so wonderful on Christmas, I mean who doesn't want a little pirate apprentice egg? It just adds on another person to pass down our family name, and love of pirating! Just adding one more kid to take care of isn't going to kill anyone, and that just means that there's going to be someone for Mia and Cosmo to look over too!"
- ✘ Rolo;;
.. ⚓ "I never planned on having another kid, a boy and a girl are perfect, but the more the merrier. We'll definitely make mistakes along the way, but that doesn't matter as long as we try our best to give the baby a healthy, happy, and fun childhood. Let me tell you, as the king and queen of the sea, we can do that and more."
- ✘ Mia;;
.. ⚓ "I really want a little sibling! I don't care if its a boy or a girl! I just want it to hatch! Come on little baby! Hatch already! I bet you will be perfect!"
