Victoria

Victoria had been a mistake. But she had also been the most beautiful mistake Uma (and Harry and Gil) had ever made.

When she had noticed the first clues that she was pregnant, Uma didn't even think about them actually pointing to her being pregnant. Her having irregular periods wasn't unusual due to all the stress she encountered on the Isle. And the morning sickness could have been caused by the bad pollution, bad food or just a random virus she caught on the Isle. But as her pregnancy continued, the signs had gotten harder and harder to misinterpret or ignore - the slow bulging of her stomach (despite her eating only irregularly) and the continued missed periods. Eventually (and surprisingly) Gil had figured it all out. He - as always had - forgotten all social norms and one day just barged into their shared cabin. "I think you're pregnant, Sh... Uma", he shouted excitedly. "Quiet, Gil", they both growled from their shared bed, before their minds screeched to a halt with the implication of what their third had just said. Uma propped herself up on her elbows and said softly: "Gil, treasure, I' m not pregnant. We always took all the necessary precautions and ...", her voice failed her for a moment: "having a baby wouldn't be good at the moment, actually it wouldn't ever be good while we're still stuck on this damn Isle!" She nearly slammed her fist into the bedcovers, but stopped the action when she saw Gils hurt look. "Gil, I'm not pregnant.", she repeated: "it's thankfully nearly impossible for me to be pregnant with my strange sea witch- human hybrid biology anyway." Gil slowly walked across the room and shed his clothing. He then crawled into bed with them and said stubbornly: "But you're really showing all the signs. The missed periods, your craving and this.." He gently stroked her slightly bulging stomach and Uma caught his hand firmly and tried to distract the blond boy by kissing him equally forcefully. Harry watched them smirking and said in a sultry voice: "How about we three just forget 'bout all of this and have some fun?" Gil and Uma grinned back and advanced towards Harry.

After two more months Uma and Harry had become more and more accepting towards the idea of Uma actually being pregnant, mostly due to the fact that the signs were much harder to ignore now. Because of that, they had decided to visit the only "doctor" available on the Isle- Yen Sid. The elderly man had greeted the trio with an almost knowing smile and led them into a room in Dragon's Hall. It had been decorated to somehow resemble an Auradons' doctor's office, but it was severely old- fashioned, equipped only with the medical stuff from the time the Isle was created. "Lie down on this bed, please", Yen Sid said and as Uma, under Harry and Gils watch, did so, he wheeled a large machine with a small screen and a thick pencil like structure connected to it with a thick cord over to the bed. He smiled down at Uma and asked her gently: "Could you please expose your stomach, then I will put this gel on it and use this machine here to check if you're pregnant and how far along you are." Uma nodded her consent and pulled up her shirt to let him do so. Yen Sid powered up the machine and quickly put the gel and then the pencil on Umas stomach. Then a fizzy, black and white picture appeared on the connected screen, causing Gil to gasp excitedly. Uma sent an exparated look to her third and then turned her attention back to Yen Sid. The man was muttering to himself and now started to move the "pencil" around while looking intently on the screen. Suddenly he ceased all movement and turned to the teenagers: "Could you please look at this with me now? After all, eight eyes are better than two." Harry, with eyes used to spotting things to steal, spotted it first. "There's a shape there", he muttered: "It looks like a ... human." Yen Sid nodded seriously and then abruptly smiled: "Congratulations, you're pregnant!"

Uma had decided to assemble the crew. They gathered inside the lower deck of the ship and Uma, Harry and Gil stood in front of their crewmen (and women). Uma glared at them, hushing all quickly, and began to speak in a chillingly calm voice: "Crew, I have an announcement to make: I am pregnant. And I will keep it and raise it on this ship. Anyone who has a problem with that should say so and you can get out, never talk about it and never come back. Or you get fed to the sharks. Understood?" Her razor sharp eyes scanned the people before her and everyone nodded in silent agreement to the statement. Silently a boy, dressed in one of the Tremaine step-sisters orange, turned around and walked away, but everyone else stayed with absolute certainty and support for their captain. Finally, Desiree broke the increasingly awkward silence: "Well, let's prepare a room for a newest crew member."

The birth itself had been an incredibly long and painful process (Ursula always called it a reminder that, like the birth, kids were a pain in the ass), but when Gil and Harry tiptoed into the medical room at Dragon's Hall with Umas little baby girl in Gil's arms, Uma knew the birth, painful as it might have been, had been worth it. She took her girl from the blonde and rested her against her upper body. "What's her name?", Harry asked quietly as to not disturb the baby. Uma gently kissed the child's soft hair: "Her name is ... Victoria" "From victorious", Harry concluded and Gil grinned: "A good name for OUR child." Yen Sid looked into the hospital room and smiled softly as he saw how Gil and Harry stood next to the bed and stroked Uma's shoulders and the baby's head. He softly closed the door and decided to let the little family have their peaceful moment, escaping from the brutal life on the Isle.
