DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"I'm sorry." Eve said as she watched Gabriel walk in.

"For what?" Gabriel sat on the bed and took her hand. "You have nothing to be sorry for. You should be happy."

"Why should I set myself up for disappointment?" Tears started to fall from her eyes. "I'm just going to have a miscarriage…something will happen, then that's it, I will lose another child…"

"I won't let that happen."

"Gabriel, don't you see it…threats are made, then I find I'm having a child…" Gabriel then tilted her head so she would look directly into his eyes.

"Evelyn, I didn't run this by you, but I figured now is the best time." He took a deep breath. "I have the country estate, I have had it brought up to working order. I want to take you there, keep you away from the city…and perhaps more importantly the harbor. I already asked the doctor, and he said the trip would be safe for you."

"I'm scared." Eve said in an exasperated breath. Gabriel then took her in his arms and let her cry. "But I am happy too…"

"I will never let anything happen to you…I promise you…never let anything happen to our child…you can be happy Evelyn…I want you to be happy with me." Evelyn then placed her hands on his cheeks and positioned his eyes to hers.

Eve then smiled. "We are going to have a baby…" Gabriel then leaned in and kissed her.

"Yes we are…I'm home now…for the rest of the day…"

"Just the day?"

"Settle a few things tomorrow, then I am home until you want to kick me out." Eve giggled. "We can start to pack things up…"

"Sure." Eve then started to get up.

"Oh no you don't…I will handle this, you are going to rest, I will make sure everything is settled, you don't have to do a thing." Eve didn't put up a fight, she just settled back in the pillows, she would not risk anything. "Good, glad you agree. Want me to help you get into your chemise?"

"No. I can dress myself. Just go talk to Jack, he'll be worried sick."

XXXXX

When Gabriel stepped into the hall Jack was waiting in the hall. "What happened? The quack wouldn't tell me a bloody thing!" Jack was worried.

"Relax…she's fine." Gabriel said calmly, a smile threatening to form.

"So what happened to her?" Jack then grabbed his shirt.

"She's having a baby…" Jack then let Gabriel go.

"Oh…" Jack's demeanor…his presence seemed to sadden.

"The doctor seems to think she can carry the baby full term…" Gabriel watched Jack's shifty eyes. "Jack, she'll be fine I promise."

"How is she taking it?"

"At first, she was a bit apprehensive. After I talked with her, I think she is better. I wanted to talk to you, rather important."

"Go ahead."

"I am taking Evelyn to my country estate. I need to get her out of the city, away from the sea…is more like it."

"I understand. What do you need from me?"

"I was wondering if you would come with us. It would make Evelyn feel better to have you around…not to mention, I trust you with her."

"Can't go with you."

"Why?" Gabriel had no idea why he couldn't come.

"Her parents are going to make a trip here, to make sure she is alright. I have been to your estate…" Jack winced, he couldn't believe he was talking like this. "So, when her parents get here, I will take them. They should be here within a week or so…When are you planning on leaving?"

"The things we need, will leave tomorrow. We should probably go the following day."

"I should be there a week after you arrive."

"Ok. Listen, I am going to talk with the staff, see which ones are going to come with us, which are going to stay. Stay with Evelyn, she'll enjoy your company."

"Everyone enjoys my company." Jack grinned as he walked into the room.

"Jack!" Eve squeaked as he walked in the room. "You heard right!" Her face was red from the excitement.

"Sure luv, congratulations…" Evelyn noticed his stature.

"You don't think this will work, do you?" Evelyn said.

"No, I just don't want to see you hurt, that's all." Jack sat down next to her.

"You are coming right? Gabriel talked with you, I assume."

"Yes, but I'll be coming a week after, I have to take your parents there, they don't know the way." Eve frowned. "Just a week. I swear on my mothers grave."

"Jack you didn't care for your mother."

"Then my father."

"Didn't know him…"

"I swear, ok!" Jack threw his hands in the air.

"No need to get testy!"

"Christ, your just like your mother!" Jack then rubbed his forehead. "Drives me bloody crazy sometimes."

"We just like to keep you on your toes." Eve said with a smile. "William and Laura aren't coming I wager."

"No, they are keeping an ear open to the seas, making sure they don't hear anything specific against Gabriel. No one knows you are the woman they are threatening. Think it's just some doughty woman."

"They can't find out…that will just give them more of an incentive. Do you know how many ships I have had a hand in sinking? I don't have many allies…"

"You've got the important ones." Jack then got up at the knock on the door. It was Marie.

"You need to start picking out the wardrobe for the trip…" She moved past Jack without even noticing him. "I suggest heavier clothes, it is getting a bit…Oh, sorry, didn't see you standing there…" Marie noticed Jack.

"Oh, I guess I should be going anyway, have plenty of things to do." Jack winked at Eve before he left.

"So what do you want to bring?" Marie asked opening the closet.

"I don't know, how long do we intend on staying?" Eve then climbed out of bed, throwing her robe on, and standing next to Marie, staring at the closet.

"Seven months…"

"Seven months!" Eve nearly jumped out of her skin. "Why so long?"

"Because, I want to make sure you are safe, and our child is safe…" Gabriel said behind her, leaning on the doors frame. When Eve turned around, she wanted to yell at him, but with him standing there, looking so handsome, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

"I'm sorry…I'm…just a bit jumpy…" Eve then sat down on a chair. Gabriel bent down in front of her.

"Just relax…I will take care of everything." Eve then looked at Marie that was holding some dresses.

"All of them." Eve said.

"What about for later? Some of these I can take out, but, you will need clothes for when you get bigger."

"Hadn't thought of that…" Eve said. Gabriel then took her hand. "Where are you taking me?"

"Shopping."

"Now? It's late…most shops are closed by now…"

"Nonsense." Gabriel swung open the door. "James!" Gabriel called his most trusted servant.

"Yes?" He poked his head into the hall.

"Please get the carriage waiting. We are going to go shopping."

"Shopping?" James said confused.

"Yes."
