Jack walked back to the house that Ana had been living in for the past few months while he was at sea. He was unsure of what kind of reception he would get from her, as he was later then he had hoped to be... by about 2 weeks. As he got closer to the house he stopped. He could hear what was like a party going on inside and lots of laughter coming from the walls.
Jack knocked on the door that led to the living room, when he walked in he looked like he wanted to turn and run back to the pearl.
Almost all of the women in the tiny village were gathered in the small front room for the baby shower held for Ana this time. When Ana spotted him she waved him over, he opened his mouth to say something before shaking his head and making movements to show he was getting away from all the women. Ana just laughed.
When he walked into their bedroom, going to sit on the bed he found he couldn't. It was covered with baby clothes, toys and accessories. The crib at the end of the bed had been made up and now was awaiting the arrival of a tiny body to go in it. Jack looked at the tiny toys, one that resembled a little bear. Suddenly remembering the package he had in his pocket he brought it out and looked at it with a grin on his face.

Ana stirred uncomfortably in her sleep, waking Jack up with the movement. He sighed and was thankful that she had stopped thumping him now. Looking at her, his eyes almost popped out of his head at the size of her bump. When her eyes opened Jack jumped, obviously not expecting it.
"You ok?" Ana groaned. "Ok. Stupid question." Both of them stayed silent for a few minuets.
"What do you want?" Jack frowned. "I mean boy or girl. Which one do you want?" Jack stayed silent for a few seconds thinking it over.
"Boy." He paused. "But if it's a lass it'll be just as good. Only" Jack stopped.
"Only what?"
"If it was a boy, they tend t' like there mothers more, well in most cases girls like there fathers more." Jack stopped again, obviously processing the information he had just told himself. "so if it was a girl I would have more role and you'd be er... well you get the picture." Ana laughed.
"Aye I get what you're trying to say. So which do you want, boy or girl?" Jack turned his face so he could look directly at her.
"Not fussy. Be happy with either. As long as she was like you- sort of like you I should say. I don't want an exact one of you." Jack stopped, shuddering at the thought. As much as he loved Ana he couldn't cope with two of her!
"Ye mean ye want a lass that likes being a pirate and not being afraid to break a nail." Jack grinned.
"Aye!" both pirates fell silent thinking about their child wondering what he or she would be like.
"What shall we call it?" Jack shrugged.
"Do we have to decided now?" Ana shook her head, sighing she closed her eyes again and lent her head onto Jack's shoulder as sleep once again took over her body.

Wetness woke Jack up. Lying next to him, Ana was wide-awake as contractions had started to shake up her body. Once again frightened of what was going to happen she hadn't said anything to Jack, and for the past few hours had laid still, trying not to make a sound as pain ripped throughout her stomach.
"Ana?" Jack touched her arm, then her forehead that was already sweaty. She was shaking a lot.
"I... need Cathy. And Heather." Jack nodded as he got up and walked out of the room, gently tapping on the door that leads into Cathy's room. Poking his head around the door, he noticed she was currently curled up with a familiar figured, which along with Cathy jumped at the sight of him.
"Er Ana need's ye..."
"Has she gone into labor?" Jack nodded, still staring at his friend with extreamly red cheeks. "waters broken."
"Either that or she wet the bed, and I think that's unlikely." Cathy nodded and turned to the man lying next to her.
"Can you go get the doctor and Jack you'll be needed with her." Jack nodded.
"Can ye get that Heather lass while your out?" Jack looked directly at Will who just nodded.

"This is all your bloody fault sparrow." Jack face turned white as Ana put more of a death grip onto his hand then he had ever thought possible.
"Is it normal for her to be shouting this?" All the women in the room laughed at him (except for Ana that is who was getting ready to push again.)
"Most women blame their husbands and shout at them. It's a way for them to get through the pain. I blamed mine for being dead!" Jack grinned for a few moments, before the grip once again took a hold of his hand.
"Glad im such a good pain relief." Jack winced as Ana cried out in pain.
"your not a good one... your bloody... crap."
"always like to help a little Luv." If it had been any other time and situation, Ana would of rolled her eyes at that remark, but she was too busy pushing their child into the world for her to think of that.
"Ok Ana one last push." Ana narrowed her eyes at the doctor.
"That's what you said LAST tim-" Ana didn't finish her sentence as she started to push again. Finally with one last push, and squeeze of both Jack and Heathers hands she pushed her baby into the world.
"Its girl." Jack grinned, both of them expecting a little cry to fill the room. Instead the sound in the room was Ana's heavy breathing.
"Why isn't she crying?"
