Return to the past
Chapter 1: Full parent mode
With Bethany – the new Mrs. Sparrow- pregnant, the crew of the Black Pearl were in full speed making preparations for the child of their captains. The cradle had been set up in Jack and Bethany's cabin, bottles, blankets, diapers and pacifiers littered the room. Bethany herself was now eight months pregnant, lying on their bed watching her husband pace frantically about their cabin. As crazy as it sounds Captain Jack Sparrow had gone into full parent mode…
"Do you have any cravings?" he asked her.
"No, Jack" she said.
"Your ankles are they swollen?" he asked.
She rolled her eyes "no, Jack."
He snapped his fingers. "I knew it! You're still having morning sickness!" he assumed.
"Jack, nothing's wrong" she smiled "please just sit down, your making me dizzy!"
"Alright" said Jack, not wanting to argue.
Just then the baby kicked inside Bethany. "Oh!" Bethany cried out her hands going to her stomach.
Jack jumped to his feet mistaking the situation. "The baby's coming!" he yelled running out of the cabin. "All hands! The baby's coming!" he yelled to the crew.
In mere seconds the entire crew had Bethany surrounded with a basin of water, clean towels and salad tongs. Jack shoved them aside and ran to her side.
"Right then, like we practiced, luv" he told her.
"Jack-" she said.
"Breathe deeply and slowly" he instructed.
"Jack-" she said.
"like we practised"
"JACK!" Bethany yelled "it was just a kick!"
The crew sighed tiredly.
"Alright" said Jack "false alarm, everybody out of our quarters!"
The crew piled out of the cabin while complaining:
"A kick? You know who I'd like to kick!"
"That's the third false alarm today!"
"It's like the boy who cried wolf!"
"Or the captain that cried baby!"
Jack shut the door behind them and turned to Bethany who was trying to hide a smile.
"It's not funny" he said.
She giggled "it kind of is."
He went back to his side of the bed and lay down beside her, putting a protective hand on her belly.
"It's hard to believe that in there is our child, swimming around like a guppy" he smiled at the thought.
"I like that name…guppy" said Bethany lacing her fingers with hers "our very own guppy."
Jack grinned and kissed her passionately.
X Baby's P.O.V X
I was having a really good nap when I heard a strange noise coming from the outside. That mommy person was making the noise, I hear her talking all the time, and her voice is soothing and sweet. And sometimes I hear daddy talk to me his voice is a little rougher, but still nice to hear. But what am I hearing now?
Oh no! Mommy and daddy are kissing! Gross! I don't wanna hear that!
I started to kick; hoping mommy would get the message.
"Aw! The babies kicking! It must be able to hear us!" said mommy.
Duh! I thought.
"What's that, guppy" said daddy, pretending to hear me "you want us to keep kissing? Alright!"
Noooooo! I thought as I kept kicking cut it out!
They just laughed.
Ugh! How much longer till I get out of here?
AN: okay small start! But more will be coming! And since I already know what gender the baby will be! I want to know which gender you think the baby will be? Boy or girl?
