Emma sat sniffling, she had just received another emotional blow. She had no one to turn to on Haven, and with her boyfriend gone she didn't know what else to do aside from call up the only person that would defend her, that would care for her no matter what happened.
Touching the screen she wiped her eyes and ran her fingers through her freshly cut hair. When the screen lit up she spoke quickly.
"Daddy? I'm in trouble."

Rider was taking his morning walk around the estate as the sun was rising. A tradition for him since he got the place just before Emily was born. Bellerophon had an impressive sun rise. It almost seemed as it the colors were more true then on any other planet. His staff never interrupted the walk, instead opting to wait with what news they may have till after he was done.
Today though was different, one of the security staff rushed out to greet him. "My apologize sir for inturrputing but you have a wave from Lady Emily." The security guard said as he caught up and walked beside him. "It's not a problem, thank you for letting me know. I'll take it in my office."
"Of course sir." The guard said before he rushed off to leave him to his walk. Eugene picked up the pace a little cutting his walk a little short. He made his way back to the estate house and up to the third floor where his office was.
He took a seat at the desk and turned the screen on. Emily's face appered infront of him on the sceen. Her eyes gave profe that she had been crying. "Whats wrong Emma. Just let me know and I will fix it." He noticed her hair had been cut, she always did seem to like change in whatever form she could find it. "You look like you've been crying." Eugene voice showed his concern. He impatiently waited for her reply so that he could find a resolution to the issue.

"Daddy, I have been on Haven for the last few months, waitin' for Joshua to come back after his newest trip around the Red System. Haven was attacked Daddy, and I lost the baby, and I can't get a hold of Joshua, I heard he died. I don't know what to do Daddy."
She looked down at her hands. She wasn't sure he would approve of her having a baby, it wasn't something she had ever wanted before she found out she was going to have one. However, regardless, there was no baby now, and at least she could honestly tell him he was going to be a grandpa some day. Just the thought of her child brought tears to her eyes, and she sniffled.

Haven, she hadn't told him she was on Haven though that was most likely because he would have protested the idea and she would have just done it anyway. And now she is saying she was pregnant, he had his suspicions but he hadn't asked her about it. SHe would have told him in time. Though this is not what he wanted to hear.
"you just stay safe and I will have someone bring you back home right way. I'm sorry about what happened. Can you tell me who attcked. I'll contact the authorities and have someone there right away. We'll get this all resolved." He wanted to be upset about not being told about the baby but this wasn't the time or place for it. He wanted to find who did this and make sure they got exactly what they had comming t them. He would go to get her himself but Haven was a long flight from Bellerophon and he could surely find someone trust orthy to bring her back and save the time for him to get out there.
He had the resources to get it all done that was no problem. "Is there anything I can do to make it easier for you Emma. Just say the words and I'll make it happen" It didn't matter what it was he would find a way to make it happen. He would find a way to destroy the whole damned planet if that would make her happy.

She looked up at her father and tried her best to smile. "I don't know Daddy, I just wish I knew what happened to him and why. He never hurt nobody when I was flying his ship." Her mind wondered for a moment and she thought about flying again.
"I miss him Daddy, I don't think you would have liked him though." She gave a wary smile and put her hand on the screen. "Let me know who you are sending. I'll be packed and ready for them. I just want to come home and see you." What she really wanted was the person that killed her father's head on a pike. However, the Duke didn't need to hear that, how could her sweet father ever be happy hearing something like that from her.

Rider was truely concerned, he even found himself concerned about Joshua. She was right he probibly wouldn't like him but she did and that is what mattered. "Don't you worry Emma I'll find the someone close to come get you, that way you don't have to wait long."
Eugene leaned back in his chair looking at Emily's face on the screen. His pride and joy, he would figure something out. "I'll find someone to look for Joshua and see what happened. Everything will be fine as soon as I know who we can get out there I will let you know." As soon as they were done talking he would have everyone working on finding a way to get her home.

"Thank you, Daddy.. I'll have to fill you in on everything we were doing when I see you. I promise most of it will make you sigh at me." She tried her best to smile. She realized now more then ever she missed him though she would never let on.
She also thought about how much different she was around him, in his presence. She hated that about herself, never allowing herself to be completely free, having to hold back much of her wild side. He would always love her sure, but he didn't really need to know how much enjoyed drinking, partying, and flying through space.
Her main love for Joshua was the power he represented to her. He was strong, had a small crew, but was feared for several planets. Some of the things he didn't think her father would understand or do. He might have dealt with evil people, but her father would never do any person harm on purpose.
"Daddy, I think you owe me a rematch, I have been practicing with my sword."

Eugene was glad to see she seemed to be doing alright now that they were talking. Though deep down he knew she was just putting on a face for him, either wy he appriciated it. "Just cause I'm getting older doesn't mean your going to be able to beat me you know." He joked with her about the comment of rematch.
"You'll have to show me what you have learned though." Swordsmanship was something he had taught her from a young age, and she was one of the best. Odd were she might just be able to beat him. He was good but so was she and he really was getting old in the last few years he had been feeling it more and more.

"One day I will finally beat you Daddy, and it will be you asking for a rematch." She smiled to him and then looked at someone in the room with her. She nodded a thank you and accepted the tea. Taking a sip she looked over to her father again.
"I'll see you soon Daddy. I have been helping rebuild around here, everyone needs a home again. I love you." She leaned in and kissed the scree then looked back into his eyes and smiled at him lovingly. She was feeling better, she could always count on him.

Eugene was starting to feel a bit better about it all. That she was going to be alright, of course he will feel even better when he has her on a ship back home. "I love you to Emma and I am sure some day you will beat me."
Eugene pressed a botton on his desk, it would call to the security office on the estate and let them know he needs to talk to one of them. He would have them help him fond someone to get her back home. "I'll see you soon and stay safe out there, I'll have someone out there for you very soon." He placed his hand on the screen and waited for her to say her final goodbyes for the day. He would call her back tomorrow with news of who to expect to come get her.

"Thank you, Daddy." She smiled at him and put her hand on top of his. "See you soon." She kept smiling and turned off the screen before she took another sip of her ale, that was hidden inside of the tea cup. Things were looking up, and she was going to be home before she knew it.
