It was a cold, stormy, December night in Tortuga. A young woman who was heavily pregnant walked the streets.
"Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high."
"Heave ho, theives and beggars, never say we die."
A rugged man walked beside her strumming on his guitar.
"Teague...will you not take me with you?"
"You know how its bad luck to have a woman aboard luv."
"I'm carrying your child for petes sake!"
"I'm a pirate. We have many woman carrying our children."
The woman's hands curled into fists. "I will tell the authorities you raped me! They will find you and kill you."
Teague stroked under her chin. It made her knees wobbled but she wouldn't give in.
"Take me or die."
"We don't have a doctor on the ship."
"Teague I swe- Your letting me come?"
"Follow me before I change my mind."
"But my things..."
"I'll be in the docks."
"Teague..."
"Yes Clarissa?"
"Its time..."
Clarissa kneeled down as the labor pains paralyzed her. Teague scooped up his lover and rushed her to her home.
"Uh...what do I do?"
"The doctor won't be up at this hour. You have to deliver them."
"But..."
Teague was cut off by the shrill yell of Clarissa. Teague kneeled down in front of Clarissa's skirt and began to lift it.
"Wash your hands!"
Teague mumbled obsenities under his breath, but obeyed. Once his hands were clean he knelt infront of Clarissa again.
"Push?"
Clarissa grunted and began to push. Her yells echoed throughout the house and problaby through the neighborhood. In a half an hour a head appeared.
"I see a head."
Clarissa cried out in joy.
"One more push Clarissa."
Clarissa pushed her self up and gave one last push. She fell back as the baby slide into Teague's arms.
"A boy! I have a son."
"Jack."
Clarissa smiled down at her little boy. Just when she thought it was over another pain overwhelmed her.
"Teague...I think there's another."
"Twins?"
"No...octopuses, yes twins!"
Teague grabbed a towel and placed little Jack on there for now. Clarissa mustered all her strength and pushed. Finally two hours after the whole ordeal had started Teague and Clarissa laid in bed with their son and daughter.
"Jack and Felicity. My darling babies. Aren't they beautiful Teague?"
"Aye...Clarissa, this is against everything pirate but...Would you marry me?"
"Oh Teague! Yes I will!"
Teague pulled two rings from his pocket.
"I Teague Sparrow take your Clarissa Nightingale to be my wife. For richer or poorer. In sickness and in health," he said placing the ring on Clarissa's right hand.
"I Clarissa Nightingale take you Teague Sparrow to be my husband. For richer or poorer. In sickness and in health," she said placing the ring on Teague's left hand.
"I may kiss the bride," Teague said slyly kissing his bride.
"Teague...," Clarissa giggled.
The two laid together with their twins through the rest of the night.
Its short I know, but it's a new story I thought I'd try out. Let me know if I should contiune.
