"Elizabeth!" Jack looked over at her as she shook with fear, this was the first time she had used a gun in anger.
"I uh I ...... Oh my goodness what have I done?!" Liz dropped to her knees. Jackstood there in total shock.
"Liz, How could ye?" He looked back over at Michelle who was regaining her conciousness. "Liz how could ye?"
Michelle stood up stammering a bit but finally stood on her own, "Mom? Jack? What happened?" She looked and saw Layla's lifeless body and then turned to see Liz with the gun. "Mother what did you do?!"
"I did what had to be done! I can't have my daughter being kidnapped and put up in some bet that he probably would have lost!" Liz stood there shaking but unbeknownst to her Layla's brother was behind her his sword drawn. He looked past Liz and saw Layla on the ground.
"What have ye done to mah sister?!" He ran to Layla's side. "You'll pay for this Elizabeth Turner!" He took Layla's body and left the cave.
"Mom! What is going on?!" Michelle walked over to Jack and fell into his arms. "Just take me home." Jack picked Michelle up and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Liz why don't you go home and have some tea, don't tell Will about this and it will all be fine." Jack nodded and Liz walked out of the cave and started home. Jack watched her go and held Michelle close to him. "Your goin ta be allrigh'." He kissed her forehead and started walking back to the inn where they were staying. Jack carried her through the streets of Port Royal which were half empty. He reached the inn and carried her up the steps and to their room which he had left unlocked. He laid Michelle on the bed and kissed her on the forehead again. She had fallen asleep on the way there and turned to her side once she was laid down. Jack walked over and half undressed himself and stretched out next to her. Michelle sleepily nuzzled next to Jack. He sighed and was just glad the day was over. But there was much more to come .......
Hayden who was up and walking the next day was currently working on his homework ..There was a knock on the door Hayden was the only one home so of course went to get the door ..But who was there was shocking ..His girlfriend who he hadnt seen for months. "Allie?" She didnt smile ..just looked down ...His eyes widened "Please tell me your not!"
Allie sighed "I am." Hayden nearly passed out he needed to grab the door frame.
"Is it mine?" He asked in a whisper.
"Yes Hayden your going to be a dad" Hayden slapped his forehead.
"Oh god Allie" He stopped and invited her in to talk .... a few hours later after the talking was finished he waited for someone to come home. Sitting on the couch head in his hands.
Michelle was the one to come home first. She had finally fully recovered from the attack both her and Hayden had endured. She opened the door and walked in, seeing Hayden she walked in and sat down next to him, "Hello Hayden ...." She looked at his expression, "Is something wrong?"
He sighed loudly" You could say that" He muttered sitting up rubbung his forehead" My girlfriend stopped by ...She's 8 months pregnant" His head went back into his hands" It's mine" He whispered.
"Oh my," Michelle looked shocked. She didn't know what to say so she wrapped an arm around his shoulder, "It's ok ..... things like this happen all the time even if it was an accident. I mean look at you ... you were an accident and Mom and Dad still kept you!" She chuckled trying to make him laugh.
Hayden gave her a look ..But had to laugh and shoved her off of him with a laugh" Yeah ..But they where married and over the age of 18 ..Im 15 and shes 16 ..." He groaned" Dad's going to kill me! ..he told me to be careful ..But no i didnt listen" ...Will toke that moment to walk in the door with Elizabeth ..Hayden froze and swore under his breath.
Michelle almost started laughing really hard as Will walked into the living room.
"Hayden is something wrong?"
"You look as if someone stabbed you." Michelle took this time to start laughing. She laughed so hard she fell off the couch. Lord knows why she found this funny but she did.
Hayden glared at his sister" Michelle! its not funny!" He yelled and groaned" Yeah somthing's wrong! ...Allie showed up today dad ...Guess what shes pregnant" .He slapped his forehead" She's 8 months almost nine" He sat back down the couch he stood up from.
Michelle stopped laughing when Will glared at her. W: "I told you to be careful! I told you what would happen! You didn't listen as usual!" Will shook his head and Liz sat down next to Hayden.
"Don't worry Hayden, everything is going to be fine. It's not entirely your fault nor should you suffer from it." She hugged her son and kissed his forehead.
Hayden glared at his father" Dont you think i know that! ..god dad and she blames me!" He sighed ..and toke comfort in his mothers hug" She plans on giving it to orphange ..she doesnt want it ..What am i supose to do here? "
"Hayden what do you feel is right?" She looked at him extreme concern on her face. "No one should be given the choice of either taking or leaving a child."
"How could i live with myself knowing my child is growing up like that ...I couldnt live with myself if i did that ...I cant let that happen" He couldnt ask his parents to take him his child
Michelle finally spoke up, "Well Jack and I plan to get a home here in Port Royal so if you choose you want to keep this child you can come live with us until your ready to be out on your own...." Will glared at Michelle again.
"Michelle the boy is 15!"
"And he's got a big responsibility on his shoulders now! Someone needs to step up and be a parent instead of relying on someone else to do it!" She now stood face to face with Will.
Hayden stood up" Im 15! ..what do i know about raising a child! ..Im still a child myself! ...I cant even stay out of trouble! ..Im not old enough to be a father!" He sighed" Thank you Michelle ..But im not old enough to deal with this"
"Well can't say I didn't offer you a home ..." She shook her head and left.
"Hayden since you claim your so young and can't handle it then let her deal with it! Don't bother!"
He yelled out of frustration" Damn it dad! ..what would you do? ..I cant let my child grow up like that ..But i cant raise him ...dad you raised me better then that ..I should just find a nice home for it"
Liz stood up, "Hayden this is your choice we can't make it for you."
"She's right ... this is your child not ours." Will said solemnly.
He stood up and walked out of the room and turned around" Yeah your right ..Neither one of you where never there for me ...I shouldnt expect you to be now ..Im leaving" He stormed upstairs and slammed his bedroom door locking it.
Michelle woke up early that morning. She carefully slipped out from under Jack's arm. She couldn't be happier, she's in love with a man who loves her just as much and they now had their own home. Michelle stood up and stretched out her arms. She walked out of the bedroom and into the sitting room, yawning she walked past and opened the front door. She stepped out to get some fresh morning air.
Hayden watched from the shadows ...His new born son was sleeping peacefully in a basket on the front step of Michelles new house ...She and Jack could give the infant the family it really needs ...That Hayden couldnt give him ...A note was in the basket ....Dear Michelle and Jack ....I guess you know whats going on by now ..This is your nepthew ..I named him Evander you keep his name please? ...I cant give him the family and life he deserves ..Please Mich raisew him as your own ..Just tell him when he gets old enough that i love him ...I will be back someday ..I want to be the father he needs ..I cant be it yet ..I love you Mich tell mom and dad im sorry ..Your right ..the only way for me to grow up is being on ,my own ....Love Hayden ... PS: there's a few things for the baby includding my old teddy bear ..I might help you out ...Hayden left the shadows leaving his son in capable hands
Michelle looked down to see the basket. She first picked up the note and knelt down next to the infant. As she read the note tears fell from her eyes, what had Hayden done?! She shook her head and lifted the basket into her arms. She walked back into the house to see that Jack was now awake.
"What's that?" Jack asked with a cocked eyebrow.
"This is Hayden's son."
"Why do you have him?"
"He left him here! What an irresposible thing to do!"
"We can't keep him ..... I'm not ready to take on fatherly duties."
"I know and I sure as hell am not prepared for mother-hood. We've got to take him back, I love my borther but I won't do this for him!"
Michelle grabbed all the items Hayden had left, and then her and Jack took the infant to Will's house. Jack knocked on the door and waited there until someone answered. But no one had answered after about 15 minutes. Will and Liz were at the Smithy shop and Hayden was in persuit of leaving town.
Hayden walked down to the docks with a duffle bag of everything he needed and couldnt bare to part with ,,Pictures of his family ...and the blanket he first held Evander in ..He proceded to get into a ship headed to England ..To figured himself out and to become the person and father he should be.
"Jack, we can't keep him." Michelle said as she sat on the floor watching Jack hold the baby. "It wouldn't be right."
"Well let's just see how it goes." The baby cooed and Jack smiled.
"I'm looking out for us! We're not ready for this, we haven't even ... well you know."
"Yes I'm well aware of that," He glanced over at Michelle and smirked, "I think we should keep him ... raise him to be a pirate."
"NO! We can't keep him! He's not ours. He is my brother's!" She stood up and walked to Jack and took the baby gently. "I'm taking him to the orphanage. Hayden will just have to understand I couldn't take the child."
"Michelle you can't do that." He looked at Michelle who just looked so natural holding the baby. "You want to keep him ... I can see it in the way you look at him."
"I know but Jack it's not right." She smiled and laid the baby in the bassinet she had purchased so he wouldn't have to sleep in a basket.
"Look Michelle let's go talk to your parents soon and we'll see what they think." He stood up and Michelle walked up to him and he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders. "I love you alot Michelle and you and I both know everything's going to be ok."
"I know. I just don't want to ruin our relationship by keeping a child that isn't ours."
"Why would that ruin it?"
"Because if we keep Evander then well.....I won't to have kids." She buried her face into his chest.
"Are you saying you want to have children?"
"Of course ... well someday not anytime soon!" She chuckled.
"Michelle, this is exactly why I love you so much, your so open and honest with me."
"I could never be dishonest with you......" She kissed Jack on the lips and smiled. He kissed her back picked her up. Jack carried her to their bedroom and dropped her on the bed. She giggled as he crawled on top of her. Placing kisses along her collar and up her neck made Michelle shiver. Jack was surprised by her shiver he kissed her like this all the time but now it was special. He kissed down her jaw to her pouty lips. Jack kissed her gently and moved his hand from hers and slowly moved his way up her stomach. As soon as she wrapped her arms around his neck Evander started screaming. Michelle looked up at Jack who looked very frustrated. "I'll go get him." Michelle slinked out from udner Jack and went into the living room and picked Evander up from the bassinet. She held him and he kept screaming. She tried to rock him but it only made things worse. Jack walked out of their room and took Evander from Michelle. He instantly quieted down.
"Aww the little fella likes me."
"I don't know why ... I mean I would want a stinky old pirate holding me." She laughed and then went quiet. "Jack I don't want to keep him anymore."
"Why not? He's so precious."
"Jack, he's not mine and I'm not going to keep him." She grabbed her coat from the couch, "Let's go." She grabbed a bunch of Evander's stuff and Jack reluctantly followed her as the left for the orphanage.
They got a block from the center and Michelle stopped dropped to her knees tears flowing slowly down her cheeks. "I can't do this! I just can't! Hayden would kill me if I gave his son to those idiots! Maybe my mom and dad will know what to do!" Hopping to her feet she started walking in the other direction with Jack and Evander close behind her. They got to the house and knocked on the door. Liz opened it and smiled.
"Michelle!" She saw Evander and looked at Michelle her eyes wide open. "Is this Hayden's son?" Jack nodded and handed the baby to her.
"Michelle doesn't want to keep him but can't let Hayden down ..... too much responsibility for us." He sighed, "We're not ready for this." With that Michelle and Jack walked off leaving Evander in Elizabeth's care. Michelle sighed both of relief and sadness.
"I only hope Mom can give that baby something." Michelle looked at the ground, "Something I couldn't."
"Don't worry Michelle, one day we'll have our own family and we'll be fine." They reached the house and Michelle walked in. Went into their bedroom and laid down looking upset. Jack walked in and laid down next to her propping himself up on his elbow. "Don't look so sad, you've still got me." He smiled and Michelle sat up a bit and looked at him. She smiled.
"Your right Jack .. I do have you. I always will have you right?"
"Yes you'll always have me." He smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Now let's get up out of this bed and go eat something.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Elizabeth!" Jack looked over at her as she shook with fear, this was the first time she had used a gun in anger.
"I uh I ...... Oh my goodness what have I done?!" Liz dropped to her knees. Jackstood there in total shock.
"Liz, How could ye?" He looked back over at Michelle who was regaining her conciousness. "Liz how could ye?"
Michelle stood up stammering a bit but finally stood on her own, "Mom? Jack? What happened?" She looked and saw Layla's lifeless body and then turned to see Liz with the gun. "Mother what did you do?!"
