DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"You can't play with us!" Jack said to his little brother, Joshua.

"Why not?" Joshua said pouting.

"Because your too little!" Gabe hollered.

"Mommy said to play nice!" Joshua was now crying.

"Well, mommy isn't here now is she?" Jack said with a wicked grin.

"You're mean…" Colette said soundly to Jack. They were playing in their large playroom, it had everything you could think of that a child would want.

"No I'm not, I'm only telling the truth." Jack huffed and then turned away from the two younger children.

"We can play together." Colette said to her brother. "I'll play with you."

"I don't play with dolls." Joshua went after his brothers.

Colette sighed deeply, and continued playing with her dolls. Her eyes lit up when her mother walked in the room. "Mommy!" Colette scrambled to her feet and pulled at her mother's skirt.

Eve knelt down in front of her daughter. "Hi sweetie…" Eve the picked up her daughter and swung her onto her hip and held her tightly.

"Are you hungry?" Eve asked her children. "Dinner is set."

"Yeah!" All three boys went scrambling down the stairs into the dining room.

"They weren't playing very nice, were they?" Eve asked her little girl.

"No." Colette said as she nuzzled her face into her mother's soft hair.

"Boys never do." Eve said as she smiled.

"Mommy, could you bring home a sister? For me to play with?" Eve asked innocently.

"Oh darling, I don't know."

"Why?"

"Because it takes time. Daddy has to say yes too."

"So? What if I promise I'll be good?" Eve just smiled at her darling daughter. Eve couldn't believe a child could be this intuitive, Elizabeth told Eve once that Colette had an old soul.

"How about I'll think about it?" Eve said.

"Agreed." Colette said happily. Eve smiled again, something she picked up from Jack.

"I'll start sending ships at the end of this month." Gabriel said to Eve as they started dinner.

"That's really early." Eve said as kept her left eye on her four hellcats.

"The colonies are demanding everything at once. Especially since they are refusing almost anything the king says."

"They should." Eve said.

"Hey Gabe…watch this…" Jack whispered.

"Watch what?" Gabe whispered back. Jack then flung is spoonful of mashed potatoes across the table, hitting his father directly in the face.

"Oops…" Jack said slinking down in his chair.

"Jack!" Eve stood up from the table. "What were you thinking?" Eve said as she took the napkin off her lap, helping Gabriel clean up.

"I wanted to get Joshua." Jack said stoutly.

"Jack, come here." Gabriel said in a voice, only a father could mimic. Jack slowly sauntered over to his father, his head down, knowing he would be sent to his room for this. Gabriel looked at his son, incredibly angry at first, but then he looked at Eve, who was, in fact, on the brink of laughter. Gabriel took his hand, scooped up the rest of the potatoes on his plate, and smushed it all over his son's face. "Punishment!" Gabriel said as he roared in laughter.

"That's not fair!" Jack ran back to his seat…his young mind churning. "Get him!" Jack shouted. Jack and Gabe then came running at their father, Gabriel leaped out of his chair and started running. Joshua ran after them, wanting to catch up.

"Mommy, can I go?" Colette asked.

"Sure." Eve then helped her daughter down and she was off. Eve started cleaning up the table, until Marie came in.

"I'll clean that up…now go enjoy your family." Marie said as she took a plate from Eve's hand.

"Thank you." Eve smiled. Eve walked into the parlor where her children were wrestling with their father on the floor. Eve leaned against the door, and she smiled. Gabriel was lifting Joshua high in the air, his strong arms holding his son.

"I think mommy wants to play…" Colette said as she noticed her mother.

"No, sweetie…"

"Daddy tell her she can play…" Joshua said. Gabriel winked at Eve.

"Mother is a girl…she can't play…" Jack said with such arrogance, it reminded Eve a lot like Jack, her children were learning a bit to much from the former pirate Captain.

"Oh really?" Eve then walked over to her son, knelt down, and said close to him, so silent that only he could here. "Your mother can play with the best of them…" Eve then started tickling him on his sides, a place she knew, since he was a baby, that was his most ticklish.

"That's not fair!" Jack cried out as he wiggled. Gabe then climbed on her back trying to release her hands.

"You too?" Eve took one of her hands and hooked it around Gabe and pulled him against her, holding him tightly.

"Dad! Help!" Jack cried, his face was red from laughter.

"Alright…" Gabriel got up, took Gabe from her grasp, and grabbed both of Eve's wrists. "Play with someone your own size." He said with a smirk on his face.

Eve stood up with his help, and whispered in his ear. "We can play later." Eve then tapped his chest. "Soon as everyone is securely tucked into bed…"

Gabriel then stood back as if he was shot, staggering back until he fell on a sofa. "Your mother is a killer." Gabriel said as he flopped his head to the side. Colette and Joshua scrambled to the sofa next to their father, as Jack and Gabe held on to one of his knees.

"What she say?" Gabe asked.

"She said, that it is time for bed." Eve said stepping in, very anxious to have Gabriel to herself. Sounds of disappointment filled the room.

"Do we really have too?" Joshua cried.

"Listen to your mother." Gabriel said sitting up.

"Jack, Gabe, I want you to take your brother and sister to bed."

"Why?" Jack said as he rolled his eyes.

"Because you two are the oldest…" Elizabeth then knelt in front of her two oldest boys. "…and you have to always protect them…they are your baby brother and sister…"

"Alright, only because we love you…" Jack smiled that wicked grin of his and hugged his mother. All the children hugged their mother and father goodnight, and trudged upstairs.

"There're a handful…" Eve said as she sat next to Gabriel.

"They are." Gabriel then slipped his arm around her shoulders. Eve then leaned into his shoulder, and he kissed the top of her head.

"Silence…" Eve said as she closed her eyes. "I love it…" Gabriel smiled at her. She was indeed a wonderful mother. Gabriel offered to hire a nanny to help Eve, but she refused, wanting to raise her children on her own.

"Colette wants a sister…" Eve said suddenly.

"What?"

"She wants a sister…" Eve then opened her eyes. "She asked me if I could bring one home."

Gabriel just laughed and helped Eve up. As they were walking to their bedroom, Gabriel spoke up. "I have a dinner meeting to go to tomorrow night. Damien and Katherine are going." Katherine was Damien's wife, they had just married a year ago.

"So you need a beautiful woman on your arm?" Eve said with a sly smile.

"I could take an old hag if your too busy." Eve laughed as she lightly hit his shoulder.

"That's it, just a dinner." Eve knew that these thing were boring.

"An opera as well." Gabriel said quietly, knowing full well Eve hated the Opera.

"All right, I'll go but you have to make it up to me." Eve said as she opened the door.

"A done deal." Gabriel said as he started to slip his jacket off.
