A/N Sorry it's a bit delayed, I've been working on another fanfiction: The Show Must Go On. I have had a eventful first week of my summer. Just to clarify they have now got off the Pearl.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates Of The Caribbean but I do have Orlando locked up in my cupboard though. I shall be expecting a massive ransom from Disney.
Chapter 14: It Takes Two
"Will, Jack, Rhianna dinnertime" Elizabeth tapped on the saucepan, waiting for the thundering sound of feet hitting the wooden steps.
"Coming" Jack was first to enter the kitchen with a angelic gleam in his emerald eyes.
"Where's your father and sister?" Elizabeth began to set the table hastily, pausing time to time to rest her aching legs.
"Daddy's with Rhianna and he's hanging her out of the bedroom window" Jack smiled cheekily, a toothy grin.
"He's what?" Elizabeth waddled towards the arched door but stopped at the frame.
"Anna dropped her hat out the window" Jack ran to Elizabeth's side to comfort her the best he could.
"Okay, Jack, get your father" Elizabeth waved hysterically to usher the boy, a clear liquid appeared visibly on her blue dress.
"But Mummy" Jack sat beside his mother as she panted heavily, grasping tightly on the door frame.
"Just go and get him" Elizabeth gritted her teeth as Jack ran timidly upstairs.
"Daddy, Mummy's peed herself" Jack gasped, Will lifted Rhianna out of the window and sat in front of Jack.
"Mummy's done what? Calm down, Jack" Will questioned the five year old intensely.
"Mummy said to tell you...to come...downstairs" Jack began running towards the stairs hastily.
"No Jack, stay with your sister" Will pointed towards the door and ran down the stairs as quickly as he could.
"Will...ow...it...hurts" Elizabeth clutched her stomach, screaming as the contractions worsened.
"Elizabeth keep calm. You've done this before" Will lifted her in his muscly arms as Elizabeth let out an ear-piercing scream.
"Oh...no...let's...leave...it in...there" Elizabeth clutched onto Will's shirt, tears of agony streaming down her face.
Will ascended the stairs carefully and turned to open their bedroom door.
"I'm getting that baby out of you, if it's the last thing I do" Will wiped the droplets from Elizabeth's flushed face.
"You...always...know...how...to...make...light...of...the...situation" Elizabeth smiled weakly as Will placed her gently on their bed.
"Just like before eh" Will slipped in his hand into Elizabeth's and smiled into her deep brown eyes.
"No...no you're going to get the doctor" Elizabeth gritted her teeth as she squeezed Will's hand.
"No, I'm not leaving you like I did last time" Will smoothed Elizabeth's honey blonde hair from out of her eyes.
"Please just go, I'll be fine" Elizabeth let go of Will's hand and resisted his help.
"No, Elizabeth I will not hear of it" Will sat at the other end of the bed and lifted Elizabeth's dress onto her knees.
"The...contractions...are...getting...closer...together" Elizabeth dug her nails into her bare thighs.
"I can't see anything" Will stared at Elizabeth, bewildered.
"That's...because...the...bloody...thing's...not...out yet" Elizabeth laid her head back against the array of pillows.
"Calm yourself, dear" Will swept Elizabeth's brow with his shirt sleeve to calm her.
A loud repetitive banging broke their scene, a certain captain crossed the boards up to the Turner's bedroom.
"Jack?" Elizabeth stared at the tall, statuesque figure standing in the doorway, holding a large half full bottle of rum.
"The one and only, lass" Jack noticed he had come at a bad time, he stood outside of the door and waited impatiently.
"Jack, get Mrs Cartwright. Elizabeth's in a critical position" Will poked his head round the corner, wiping his hands clean of Elizabeth's sweat.
"Right on it, mate" Jack ran down the stairs excitedly, he didn't notice the end step. Jack wobbled precariously until he fell head first on the marble floor.
"Butterflies, pretty butterflies" Jack followed the imaginary pictures through the door.
"Pirate!" A willowy young lady screeched uncontrollably, her eyes blazing with fearfulness.
"Shut it! I need to talk with Mrs Cartwright" Jack cupped her mouth and dragged her into a dark back street.
"Mrs Cartwright isn't here. I'm her daughter, Jennie-Lynne" She wriggled free from his tight grip and stepped into her mother's establishment.
"What's seems to be the trouble?" Jennie packed a small doctor's bag full of medical equipment.
"My mate's having a baby, well it's his wife because obviously men can have babies. What I'm trying to say is his wife's having a baby and he asked me to tell you to get your arse down there" Jack pointed towards their exit and hastily ran for the door.
"I couldn't find Mrs Cartwright, but I got the next best thing" Jack ran up the stairs, gripping onto Jennie's hand tightly.
"She's seven centimetres dilated, the baby's coming" Jennie scrubbed up and assembled herself at the rear of the double bed.
"Another one...ow...another one...ow" Elizabeth screamed, tears trickling from her lachrymose eyes.
"They'll just keep coming, longer and harder, Mrs...what's your name?" Jennie swiped her brow, a firm smile across her face.
"Turner...ow...Elizabeth...Turner...my husband...Will...he's 25...I'm...22" Elizabeth's panting deteriorated into terrified screaming.
"I don't think we need a life story, Mrs Turner. Now you're fully dilated so push as hard as you can for as long as you can" Jennie-Lynne placed a blanket underneath Elizabeth's feet to cushion the arriving baby.
"Just like before, Liz" Will squeezed her hand tightly and spoke to her soothingly.
"You're on the home stretch, love" Jack sat in the large wicker chair, the sun detailing his bronzed face and beard.
"Push, thrice more. The head's crowning" Jennie held out the blanket and grasped the baby's head with her hands.
"Come on, Liz. Three more pushes" Will squeezed Elizabeth's hand a little to reassure her.
"There we go, a lovely baby girl" Jennie-Lynne cradled the babe in the soft blanket and handed her to Will carefully.
"Oh she's beautiful" Will gazed into her big, sapphire eyes adoringly.
"Oh...there's...another...one...in...here" Jennie took another blanket from her bag and stood erect at the end of the double bed.
"T-twins...there's...more?" Elizabeth gripped onto the thin sheets, gritting her teeth through every tedious contraction.
"Two babies at the same time, wow" Jack snorted unknowing of the facts of childbirth.
"Yes, it is possible, Jack" Will sat in the chair beside Elizabeth, gently soothing her with his loving tone.
"Oh, she's...lovely...your father...and...ow" Elizabeth dug her nails into Will's trousers, her screaming drowning out any of their conversation.
"The baby should be arriving any time soon" Jennie wiped her hands clean of the additional blood.
"The sooner the better, I say" Jack yawned and stretched his scarred arms.
"It comes when it comes, Mr Sparrow" Jennie swiped Jack with the towel and shot him an angry glare.
"How long is she going to be like this?" Will squeaked with pleading eyes, Elizabeth's nails still embedded in his trousers.
"It's hard to tell" Jennie traced the time on the little clock on the mantle.
"I can...ow" Elizabeth screamed as she struggled with all her might.
Ten minutes passed before Elizabeth laid her head back against the array of cushions and let out a deep sigh.
"I am pleased to inform you that you have a beautiful baby boy" Jennie smiled jubilantly as she gently handed the crying baby into Elizabeth's waiting arms.
"Okay, shh, that's it, darling" She wrapped the baby comfortably to calm him.
"Caleb Weatherby Turner" Elizabeth whispered to herself softly, she glanced over to the chair beside her. Will lay sleeping, her daughter nestled in his strong arms.
"Your father is the fellow sleeping in the chair and that bundle in his arms is your sister, Arralyn" Elizabeth smiled at her sleeping boy, resting peacefully in her arms.
"Did I miss anything?" Will woke startled, he regained his composure and held Arralyn firmly.
"No, no you have a nice boy, Will. A beautiful baby boy" Elizabeth beamed happily as Will leaned over the bed and gave Caleb his little finger to latch onto.
"He's got blacksmith's hands, good and strong" Will visualised his son following the same profession as his father.
"And that little madam there, she'll be the envy of everyone in Port Royal" Elizabeth traded babies with her husband and gazed into Arralyn's deep, blue eyes sparkling nonchalantly.
"A blessing twice" Will sat dewy-eyed looking down at his beautiful son, sleeping in his strong arms.
"I wouldn't have got through it without you, it takes two to make a baby" Elizabeth grinned seductively at her husband, showing her defined features.
"Yes, but let's wait a bit, before we jump on the bandwagon" Will took her hand and squeezed it softly.
"Oh Jack and Rhianna, I almost forgot" Elizabeth gasped, holding her delicate hand to her mouth.
"Don't worry, when Arralyn was being delivered, I told him to keep an eye on them" Will stood up from his chair and walked cautiously towards the door, smiling jovially.
Elizabeth could hear the muffled voices through the wall, she watched as Rhianna and Jack trailed into the bedroom, Will and Jack Sr. following behind them.
"Thank you, Mummy" Jack hugged Elizabeth tightly as Will sat with Rhianna and Caleb on the end of the bed.
"For what, love?" Elizabeth gently handed Caleb to his big brother, watching them bond happily.
"For giving me a brother like I wanted" Jack smiled, a toothy grin dominating his chubby face.
"Aw! That's alright. Just think it as an early Christmas present" Elizabeth stroked his soft brown hair and lifted Rhianna onto her lap.
"And for you, Anna. A little sister, Arralyn" She watched as Rhianna's rosy face lit up with sheer wonderment.
"Wow!" Rhianna touched Arralyn's chubby finger lightly and stroked her soft baby face.
"Well, be seeing you around, no doubt" Jack wandered aimlessly down the stairs, stumbling down wary of the bottom step.
"Jack?" Jennie-Lynne stood at the bottom of the stairs, her arms crossed and her brow furrowed.
"Yes?" Jack turned to see Jennie running towards him, her arms open wide in a warm embrace.
"Is it possible for an honest woman to fall in love with a pirate?" Jennie smiled into his deep auburn eyes, burning like fervidly.
"Don't know, love. You'll have to find out for..." Before Jack could finish his sentence, his lips were locked firmly with Jennie's.
"Is this what you really want? To be a pirate's wench?" Jack slipped out of the passionate embrace.
"Well when you put it like that?" Jennie took Jack's tricorn hat from his head and placed it on hers.
"Suits you" Jack held Jennie strongly in his arms and walked down the porch with her.
At the very same moment, Elizabeth and Will were sat with their four beautiful children, praying that the day wouldn't end.
A/N Oh so Jack's got a new lover! Jennie-Lynne will be a firm character now. Elizabeth and Will are parents once again; Arralyn and Caleb! Four little children running about the place. Chaos will ensue quite quickly!!! Please R+R A.S.A.P.
Bearing in mind I won't be here next week or the two weeks following that.
