(A/N) Last update, probably till Tuesday! Tuesday I will put up the final two chapters of this fic!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Damned bloody week!" Eve grumbled to herself as she got herself out of bed. There was no point in changing out of her chemise, because nothing else fit her. Eve was now a week overdue, she was officially over her nine month stay.
"You've just made it exceptionally comfortable for them." Gabriel said as he buttoned his shirt.
"For Christ sake, Gabriel, do you have to be so bloody understanding!" Eve was not in a good mood, whatsoever.
"I could be honest." Gabriel said a smirk forming.
"That would be good."
"Alright, they don't want to come out because they might think their mother is a bloody tyrant, listen to yourself, your going bloody crazy!" Gabriel said and when he saw her face he burst into laughter.
"You think it's funny?" Eve said with her hand on her hips.
"No, I am late to meet Damien, and I don't want to argue with you, remember stress is no good…" Gabriel opened the door.
"Stress? I am stressed to the bloody point of no return!" Gabriel turned back to the room and held her at her shoulders.
"I will be back in a few hours. Then I will take you out, and you can relax, I promise."
"In my chemise?"
"In your chemise. I really have to go, otherwise, I'll never get back home." Gabriel then kissed her softly and went out the door. As Gabriel left Marie came in.
"Jack is asking for you." Marie said as she started picking up.
"Thank you." Eve then dipped her hands in the basin of water and splashed it on her face. A pain hit her in the stomach. Waving it off, thinking it as nothing, she went to Jack's room.
XXXXX
"Jack you have to leave the girls alone. Some of them are younger than me." Eve said as she sat on the large plush armchair that was positioned by his bed. Two young maids looking after Jack, were giggling as Eve walked in.
"I can't help it if they love my Sparrow charm." Jack said.
"Are you feeling any better?" Eve asked.
"Much. When are your parents and Adam due back?"
"Well they are going over the building of their homes. They should be back soon, any day." Eve leaned back in the chair and rubbed her stomach.
"No activity yet?"
"No. I'm beginning to think they will never come out." Eve then got up and walked to the mantle above the fireplace.
"What's on your mind?" Jack asked.
"A lot." Eve then bent over and held her stomach, clenching the mantle.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Nothing to worry about, at least not yet…"
"Have you thought of any names?" Jack said , still looking concerned.
"Oh yes, I have them almost picked out…but I think when their born, you know, then we'll name them appropriately." Eve smiled and rubbed her stomach.
"Are you sure your okay? You look like your ready to fall over."
"Why thank you Jack…you look pale and emaciated just as well…" Eve then leaned over again. "Uh-oh…" Eve let out a small gasp.
"What was uh-oh?" Jack said alarmed.
"My water broke." Eve then looked at Jack. "This is it." Eve held onto the mantle tightly, with a small smile on her face.
"What do you need me to do?" Jack said looking to get out of bed.
"Nothing. I can make it back to my room. Jack don't do anything." Eve walked by the bed and sat down. "I just can't make it all at once." Eve laughed nervously and looked at Jack. "This is it, I'm going to be a mother…"
"Then get to it luv…" Jack clenched her hand in his and gave it a loving squeeze. Eve then slowly made her way to the hall where she saw Marie.
"Marie, I am in labor." Eve said between breaths.
"Oh dear, what do you need me to do?"
"I trust you…oh, but please help me back to bed." Eve continued speaking as Marie helped her back to her room. "Tell James to get Gabriel, and I need you to run and get the doctor."
"Of course." Marie then helped her into bed. "Do you need anything?"
"Not right now. Also if you could send a carriage, to look for my parents…that would be nice…"
"Right away…" Marie placed some covers over her and quickly scooted out of the room.
Eve flopped her head back, she wasn't in that much pain, but she knew that was quickly going to change. Eve let a small smile escape her lips, she was going to be a mother, not to just one, but two…she was so happy, she practically soared.
"Ouch…" Eve said as she felt a surge in pain. She held her hand at her stomach, feeling them move within her. "Okay, now please, just don't hurt mommy…" Eve said talking to herself. "I'm so scared…" Eve said as her eyes glanced around the empty room. "Okay enough of that…" The same surge of pain. The door then burst open, it was her parents. "Thank God someone's here!" Eve said in relief.
"Your in labor?" Elizabeth asked as she quickly took her daughter's hand.
"Yes." Eve then shifted in bed.
"Where's Gabriel?" Will asked.
"Down at the docks with Damien, someone went to get him. Marie went to get the doctor." Eve closed her eyes.
"Just breathe Eve, it helps." Elizabeth said.
"Where's Adam?"
"He stayed behind. Marie was outside just as we pulled up. She sent the carriage ahead anyway to get Adam." Will answered her.
"Okay…I'm scared…" Eve's eyes slowly began to fill with tears.
"I know." Will kissed her forehead. His baby having a baby…flashes of her first steps, first words, first lesson in swordplay…and he smiled.
Marie then walked into the room with the doctor behind her. "Marie, where is Gabriel?" Eve asked breathing heavily.
"James is already on his way…soon I promise."
"Oh Christ…" Eve said as she clenched the sheets.
"Eve, my name is Doctor Henry Danskin, I am going to deliver your twins."
"Right." Eve said.
"How is the pain?" He asked. Will and Elizabeth stood beside Marie.
"It's bloody pain, is it not supposed to hurt?" Eve snipped.
"Alright…How much time would you say the pain comes?" Eve rolled her eyes at him.
"Everyten minutes." Elizabeth said.
"Good, that means we don't have that far to go. You were probably in labor since last night, just hadn't really felt it. Your water broke this morning?"
"Yes, just a little while ago."
"Good." The doctor then went to Marie and told her what he would be needing.
"Doctor…" Eve interrupted him.
"Call me Henry."
"Ok, Henry, please don't deliver these babies until Gabriel gets here…" Eve said.
"Afraid it's not up to me." Henry then looked across to Will and Elizabeth. "You are going to have to leave."
"No, they won't not until Gabriel gets here." Fear rising in the back of her throat.
"I can't have too many people in the room."
"I don't care what you…" Eve feel back into the pillows. "Not until he gets here…" Eve said.
"Eve…"
"It's a big bloody room for Christ sake!" Eve grabbed the doctor's tie, and pulled him close to her. "They stay until I say they can go…" Eve then released his tie.
"I have dealt with many deliveries, but this is the most violent." Henry got up, straightened his tie,and opened his bag and started to pull out his instruments. Next thing Eve knew a large chair was wheeled into the room by a few of the servants.
"What the hell is that?" Eve asked.
"A birthing chair." Elizabeth answered.
"You mean I have to get up." Eve asked exasperated.
"Yes."
"Where's Gabriel?" Eve pleaded.
"Right here." Gabriel walked in the door and directly to Eve. "I'm right here."
(A/N) The Next Chapter is what we all we have been waiting for! It is really sweet, I especially paid attention to that chapter, it had to be perfect, our character had been waiting for so long to have children, so Eve is going to get a beautiful chapter!
Now back to the Adventures of Captain Chrissy Cupcake and Karen Kangeroo!
"Suggie Cane is pure evil Karen. I want you to stay at my side." Chrissy said to her small companion. "William says that he will strike at any moment...the rumors have already begun that we are looking for the frosting." Chrissy said as she steered her sugar coated vessel through the sea of maple syrup. "What are you looking at?" Chrissy asked
"William? Why not just spill the bloody beans! I'll find out soon enough!" Karen said with enthusiasm.
"Well, when you tell me about what's going on between you and Joe..." Chrissy said waving her finger towards Joe, who was tying down sails. "Then we'll talk."
"Alright..." Karen said with a smile. "He's gorgeous, but you'd have to be blind not to see that. But nothing 'official', has happened yet. So I spilled, now it's your turn."
"It was nearly five years ago now..." Chrissy sighed. "We were very much in love...then he asked my to marry him, I would be the Mrs. Wonka of his chocolate empire. And at first I said yes..." Karen noted the pain in her Captain's voice. "Then it got to be that I couldn't be free...and that's what I wanted. So I told him I loved him and that I needed my freedom. I bought the Snickers, (Captain Chrissy's ship), and have been out on the maple waters since."
"And he understood?" Karen asked in amazement.
"Yes. He let me go...I told him I would return one day."
"Was that day yesturday?" Karen asked.
"Yes...I believe it was. This is my last adventure."
(Karen my girl, it all yours...steamy moments that would melt the marzapan off any wedding cake with mister Joe Bearns? Maybe? Have fun!)
