Time Period: Elizabeth's Flashback-The Twins' birth
The unsteady rocking of the ship has made childbirth and morning sickness really hard for me. The ship's movement doesn't seem to bother Jack. I can hear Jack and his
drunk crew mates singing Christmas songs outside my bedroom door. My screams fall upon their deaf ears. A drunk one night stand with Jack put me in this highly stressful
position nine months ago. Will's love and compassion slipped through my hands. Pregnant, my fate and destiny were already made. Anyway, I am glad that Jack is far away so he
doesn't have to watch me suffer. Exhausted, I continue to knock on death's door. "Push, Liz, bear down" my friend and midwife, Piper instructs me. I grit my teeth and push hard
with each contraction. Piper puts her hands underneath the bed cover in preparation to catch the baby. " I can't do this, its too hard " I cry out in pain. "Your ordeal is almost
over. You are making excellent progress" Piper encourages me. Her encouraging words restores my strength and hope. Surprisingly, I deliver twins whose names are Belfire and
Noel. I consider them to be my Christmas miracles. Their loud cries call forth Jack and his crew mates. I am the center of attention for once. The men favor my son, Belfire more
than Noel. Since Noel has breathing problems, she doesn't deserve their love. The umbilical cord was tied around Noel's neck in which has caused her shortness of breath. It is
possible for this problem to develop into Asthma. Piper expects Noel not to live long. My heart breaks over the thought of losing my precious baby girl. I hold Noel close to my
heart because she is sick and needs extra tender loving care. Slowly, the sunlight returns back to her pretty eyes.
