(A/N) One final down, two to go! My faithful, I missed you all! I can see some of you are interested in another installment, my only hesitation is that because Eve and Gabriel aren't the 'original' characters, that people will lose interest...so let me know, and I can get started on it ASAP! One chappie tonight, even though I could give you more...I am just plain awful!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"I can have them ready for signatures by the end of the day." Damien told Gabriel.

"Good."

"Do you have a ring for her?" Damien wondered.

"Of course. I've had it since…the first day we arrived in Paris."

"Where are you going now?"

"Her father wants to speak with me." Gabriel swallowed that sentence very hard.

"That sounds like fun."

"I hope it will be." The day was growing to an end, and Gabriel was probably the happiest man in the world. Practically leaping down the stairs, Gabriel went into the parlor, where Will, Jack, and Adam, sat all solemn faced.

"Sit." Will said, no break in his voice. Gabriel obediently sat across from him. "I want to make sure my daughter is well cared for."

"She will be. I love her and will keep her from harm."

"She is very important to the three of us. If anything happens to her…it will be your head." Jack said.

"I understand." Gabriel felt a trickle of sweat roll down his temple.

"We all have loved that girl since the beginning. We want to keep doing so until the day we die." Adam said.

"Yes." Will then got up and put his hands on the arm rest of the chair Gabriel sat on, and leaned forward, close enough that only Gabriel would hear.

"I have no problem with making sure you rot…make sure you do not hurt my daughter…understand me?"

"Yes." Gabriel said. Will turned around and sat back down. Gabriel watched the three look at them…and noticed their faces relax and then they erupted in laughter.

"Relax! We were just having a bit of fun with you!" Jack said as he laughed.

"This was all a joke?" Gabriel said.

"Yes, help you loosen up and relax!" Eve said as she walked in the door.

"You were behind this?" Gabriel asked her.

"Yes, we are trying to warn you…sure you want to marry her? Devil in disguise if you ask me." Jack said.

Eve sat down next to Gabriel. Elizabeth also walked in and sat down next to Will. "You just looked so nervous. They are going to take you to a tavern in the small town that isn't too far from here, so you can enjoy yourself." Eve smiled.

"I can't leave you."

"Sure you can. I'll be here with her." Elizabeth said.

"So will Damien, and the doctor isn't leaving until tomorrow morning." Eve then slapped his hand. "I'll be fine. Go."

"What is it I'm drinking now?" Gabriel asked, his speech slurred.

"Don't know!" Jack slapped his back and the four of them started laughing.

"It's really good…" Gabriel then chugged the rest of the drink.

"Eve is going to kill me…" Will said. He watched his intake of alcohol…but Adam, Jack, and Gabriel didn't.

"No she isn't…she got babies to think about…" Adam then fell off his chair, and started laughing.

"Yes she will…" Will then helped Adam back on his chair.

"Two babies…Christ…how am I going to handle that?" Gabriel said as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Your going to have to…Eve is going to need you…" Will said. Gabriel then took a swig of Jack's rum.

"Get your own bloody drinks!" Jack swiped the drink from his hand.

"Maybe it's time we get home." It was past midnight, and Will did not want Elizabeth or Eve to worry.

"Ok, Willy…" Jack roared in laughter. "Willy! I like that! How come I never thought a that before!"

Will made sure the three got into the carriage before he woke the driver and stepped in the carriage himself.

Eve found a place to sleep in the parlor…but sleep wasn't coming. It was late and she was worried about Gabriel. "What are you doing up?" Damien came in the parlor.

"Waiting for Gabriel."

"Mind if I take a seat."

"No go ahead." Eve sat up and made herself comfortable.

"How are you feeling?"

"Tired. I am having a lot of trouble sleeping lately."

"Why? Is there something on your mind?" Damien said with a smile, trying to make light of what was happening.

"You could say so. I can't get comfortable. I can't sleep because I am terrified that I will wake up and…well I have these dreams."

"Tell me about them."

"I wake up in the morning, turn to face Gabriel and his throat is slashed from ear to ear. And there is the killer…standing over my bed…a knife…a gleaming knife…and…" Eve stopped. "He plunges the knife in my stomach."

"Some dream."

"Yes, and that's when I can sleep. You can imagine my enthusiasm when night falls."

"Does Gabriel know you aren't sleeping?" Eve shifted.

"No, he doesn't. He probably doesn't know that I know he isn't sleeping well either." Damien nodded, and she explained further. "In Paris, he would sleep for a few hours…but since we found out I was having a baby…he's gotten worse."

"Do you want me to talk to him?"

"No. I will…I have tried everything…without him knowing. Tea before going to bed…giving him a few extra pillows…I've done everything short of drugging him." Eve let out a small laugh and rubbed her eyes with the edges of her fingertips. "I am so tired." The door then crashed open. Damien jumped up in front of Eve.

"For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow! Which nobody can deny!" Adam, Jack, and Gabriel came through the doors singing. Will walked in behind them and gave a look of, 'I'm sorry', to Eve.

"Evelyn, I had such a good time!" Gabriel came barreling towards her.

"Really? That's wonderful…"

"I missed you…" Gabriel then puckered his lips, wanting a kiss.

"O for heaven's sake!Father, I said make sure he had a good time, I didn't want you to bring home a drunk!" Eve said trying to contain her laughter.

"More rum Jack!" Adam asked.

"More rum my good man!" Jack and Adam then headed out of the room towards the wine cellar.

"Can you two help me take him upstairs?" Eve asked as she saw Gabriel slumped in a chair…snoring.

Will and Damien then hoisted Gabriel up and carried him to their room. "At least he will sleep." Eve said to Damien as they flopped him on the bed.

"At least."

"If you need anything just ask your mother and I are down the hall." Will then give his daughter a squeeze of the hand and left.

"Need my help?" Damien asked.

"No, I can handle him." Damien then nodded and went back to bed.

Eve looked at Gabriel sleep, it was a welcoming thought, that he finally was sleeping, but he was drunk, tomorrow he would feel the brunt. Eve went over to his side of the bed and pulled off his boots and tossed them to the floor. Eve tucked his legs under the covers and covered his body with several blankets. "Well, plenty of practice for dealing with an actual baby…" Eve smiled to herself. She then dragged a chair across room next to his side of the bed and started to make herself comfortable, there was a long night ahead of her.

Gabriel woke the next morning with a terrible headache. Rolling over he saw Eve sleeping in a chair across from him. Now along with the headache he felt like a complete bastard. "Evelyn darling, come on, come to bed." Gabriel whispered as he grabbed her leg. Eve jumped at his touch.

"Your awake." Eve smiled and leaned over. "How's your head?"

"Terrible. Come to bed. You shouldn't be sleeping in a chair."

"And sleep with you snoring and smelling the way you do? I had a better night in the chair." Eve got up and stretched.

"I smell that bad…"

"You came home rather late last night…do you even remember any of it?"

"No…What happened?"

"Came home well after midnight, drunk, and Damien and my father took you up here."

"Your father drank…"

"He probably did, just knows how to control it a bit better than you." Eve smiled. "I had James set up the bath this morning. It will do you good."

"What about you?" Gabriel asked as he kissed her hand.

"I bathed last night. You need to…"

"Promise me you'll get some sleep while I'm gone…you don't look well." Gabriel said as he got out of bed.

"I'll try."

(A/N) Okay one more!
