Part four: Twins

Irene walked toward the captain quarters dreading what she might walk in on. So instead of opening the door she knocked, covered her eyes, and then walked in. She peeked out to see jack sitting with his feet on the table. Emily was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling dreamily Suddenly she looked as if she were dieing. Irene and Jack ran to her side. She grabbed Jack's hand and looked at Irene "The twins are coming!" she said breathing heavily. "The- oh shit!" exclaimed Jack. Irene knew he wasn't surprised but Emily was cutting the circulation off in his hand. "Jack go get Anna Maria!" yelled Irene. Jack ran out the door only to return with Anna Maria. "The twins are coming." "Oh dear, I'll go fetch some scissors, towels, and warm water." said Anna Maria running out the door. 'Anything I can do?" asked Jack. Irene ignored him. "Hun I need you to breathe! In, out, in, out!" exclaimed Irene, Irene noticed Jack breathing as Irene told Emily. "NOT YOU!" "Sorry lass, I'm just. is there anything you want me to do?" Jack pleaded. Anna Maria had returned. "Let's move her below deck." They picked up Emily and they went below deck into a strange room. Emily was sitting up with her legs spread. Jack made the huge mistake and looked under her dress. What he saw he didn't like; he fainted. Anna Maria and Irene rolled their eyes. Sylvia and Elizabeth came in to help. They saw Jack. "He looked under the dress didn't he?" asked Sylvia. "Yep." replied Anna Maria. "Alright, now let's get this done." said Irene THREE HOURS AND A LOT OF SCREAMING LATER: Jack is awake ...finally. "Jack...we have some bad news." said Irene with sadness. "What?" Jack asked. "I'm sorry but....the twins didn't make it." Elizabeth said sniffling. Jack didn't say anything. Jack leapt up and ran to Emily was crying. Emily saw that his eyes were watery. A single tear slid down his cheek. Emily turned her head. "Emily," he said knowing some part of her will forever be broken, "sweetheart...I love you. It's okay." "No Jack....our babies....th-their dead, our babies are dead. " cried Emily. Jack kissed her gently and rubbed her forehead with his thumb. Tears fled form Emily's eyes. Irene, Elizabeth, and Sylvia were standing around. "Emily, Jack, would you like us to run the ship so you and Emily can have some time alone/' asked Irene. "Aye, thank you." replied Jack. The girls left Emily and Jack alone. "Jack I love you." she whispered before falling into a restless sleep.
