"I am taking her to the farm, I have already begun to get it up and running, so by the time we get there it should be all set. I need you to stay here and keep me informed, if there are any more threats, any more ships." Gabriel said to Damien as he started to slip his jacket on.
"I'll keep you in check. Now what about your so called mercenary?" Damien said with a laugh, knowing it was Captain Jack Sparrow.
"His ship pulled in this morning. I assume he went to the house to see Evelyn."
"What's the story on the two of them? They are rather close."
"Very close. Jack knew her since the day she was born, regarded her and her siblings as his own in a way. When Evelyn met his son, and got married, their bond grew even more. Then Jon ran off, and Jack took Evelyn's side. Jon came back, to settle a score with Evelyn, and she managed to keep him back long enough for me to get there."
"What happened between the two of them? I read about their romance, they were very much in love."
"Jon went missing, for half a year. Evelyn thought he was dead, and moved on completely planning on raising the child she was bearing by herself. She bought a house, Jack lived with her, and then Jon came back. Evelyn told me he did not come back the same man, she was just so happy to have him back, her instincts, of course, screamed at her but she ignored it."
"And?" Damien was extremely interested in this story.
"Captain James Barbossa, eventually came back, wanted Evelyn to himself. She fought hard, but it wasn't enough, he stuck a dagger into her abdomen…the baby she carried died." Gabriel took in a deep breath. "She may not ever conceive children again, with her son in the ground, Evelyn blamed Jon for not staying home with her, to protect her…and that resentment lasted, I don't think she ever told anyone, not even Jack."
"But why did he want to kill her?"
"She knew the truth and told Jack. Apparently while, Jon was gone, he had an affair with some woman and produced a child. Evelyn knew, she just pushed it away, ignored it, thinking it would just go away. But the rumors persisted, and she eventually found out that he was going to leave her…When he came back he couldn't bring himself to tell Evelyn that he was leaving for good, she was having his child…and when their son died, he couldn't leave her either, and this whole other thing with the curse, couldn't leave her then either."
"Piece of work that fellow is…"
"No kidding. When Eveyln was safe in his arms, he accused her of having an affair with me…I think to push her away, maybe she'd be the one to leave. But she fought for him…then he just completely turned on her…"
"Doesn't explain why he wanted her gone."
"She told Jack of his affair. Jack then wrote a letter to Jon telling him he was no longer his son. Jack is many things, but he is a good man, and if he ever had a stable relationship…he wouldn't ever do the things Jon did to Evelyn. Jon couldn't stand the fact that once again, Jack sided with Evelyn, so he went to kill her. And here we are."
"Knight in shining armor? The girl is infatuated with you…can see it in her gorgeous eyes."
"I told her father I would do anything to protect her, and I will. Even if that means she is mad at me…" The door then busted open. "Jack?" Gabriel then looked at his eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Better get home mate…" That was all Jack had to say, Gabriel pushed past him and bolted down the street.

Gabriel reached his home in record time, he could hear Jack behind him. Gabriel bounded up the stairs to see the staff hanging around his bedroom door. "What's going on?" Gabriel asked James.
"Doctor is in there with Eve, had herself a spell…nearly fell down the stairs, but your associate caught her." James pointed at Jack. Gabriel then slowly opened the door and stepped inside.
Evelyn was lying down in bed, the doctor sat on the bed next to her, holding her hand as tears streamed down her face.
"Evelyn?" Gabriel didn't know what to make of the situation.
"Gabriel!" Evelyn lifted up and held out her arms as he hugged her.
"What happened?" Evelyn turned away. Gabriel continued to hug her, and looked at the doctor. The doctor motioned that he would be waiting outside for him. "Are you going to be alright? I'm going outside to talk to the doctor. I'll be right back." Gabriel pulled her back and looked into her eyes.
"I'll be fine." Eve then watched as he got up and shut the door. Evelyn put her head in her hands and wept.
XXXXXXX
"I'm Doctor Lange." He held out his hand and shook Gabriel's.
"Gabriel Johnson. What happened?"
"Maybe we should talk in private…you should have a seat." Gabriel then directed him to the study and sat down as the doctor began.
"Evelyn has told me she hadn't been feeling well for the past few weeks or so."
"Yes, she told me she was a bit nauseas, light headed, headaches…she told me she would get a doctor."
"Well, I'm glad she got someone to get me. I have some very interesting news." Gabriel braced himself. "She is having a baby."
"I'm sorry, what?" Gabriel couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"She's two months along."
"Wait a second, she…the other doctor…"
"Yes, she told me about the other doctor. And from what I gather, even though I wasn't their at the time of the examination, I think her chances were slim, but as you can see she has beaten those chances. I do however think she is at a high risk."
"High risk?"
"Yes. She needs bed rest, I don't want her up and about more than a few hours a day. No stress, so try and minimize her stress levels. I don't want her angry, because that will raise her blood pressure. If any of these things are violated, she will run the risk of a miscarriage. She has told me of the past. And in my professional opinion, she can carry this baby, this baby can be born healthy, she just needs to take care of herself."
"Easier said than done."
"I know. But try. I have told her everything I have just told you, but I think she needs your reassurance." Gabriel breathed in a deep breath. "Also, make sure you can handle this as well, your going to be a father, it is a tremendous amount of stress on you as well." The doctor began to get up. "If you have any questions, feel free to get in contact with me."
"I actually have a question." Gabriel began to walk him to the door. "You obviously know that I run a trading company."
"Yes."
"Lately, I have been receiving threats, personal ones against myself and Evelyn. I have a large estate in the country, I wanted to take her there. Would that be safe for her?"
"Safer than having pirates take her, I wager. She should be fine for the what two day trip?"
"Yes."
"She should be fine. Maybe it will do her good to get her out in the country…away from Paris." They shook hands, and Gabriel showed him to the door, and let him out. Gabriel then climbed his way back up the stairs, and into his bedroom.
