(A/N Cuz I love you guys!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Are you alright?" Gabriel whispered to Eve. Gabriel noticed she was quiet , too quiet even for her.
"I'm fine." Eve said looking down at her gloved hands.
"Something's wrong. Tell me." He picked up her hand. The carriage they were in was shaking from side to side.
"Nothing's wrong." Eve then forced a smile. "Let's just enjoy tonight." Eve patted his hand and looked out the small window. Gabriel looked at his wife with concern, he knew since Colette was born, she was extremely vigilant of her children, especially Colette. He knew she was going to that place in her mind that he never wanted her to see again.
"You never enjoy these nights. Evelyn, I can tell when your lying, so you might as well speak up." Eve turned to look at him.
"Later, I promise I will sit down and talk with you." Eve picked up his hand. "Please, I can't tell you here."
"Alright." Gabriel looked at her with such passion it nearly made her heart melt.
The carriage stopped in front of the theatre. Gabriel stepped out first, then helped Eve out of the carriage. Her dress was red, a deep dark red that suited her quiet well. It was tight along the bodice, and it flowed beautifully to the floor. Black laced roses were scattered through out the skirt, while the bodice was tied with a simple black sash. Her hair was pulled up, leaving a few strands of her honey tresses down, and she wore black gloves. The only other color besides the red and black were her magnificent blue eyes, they stood out wonderfully.
"Ah, Gabriel, Evelyn!" Damien walked up to them. "Glad to see you here." Katherine was on his arm, dressed beautifully, Eve thought with her emerald colored dress. Katherine and Eve had become friends, since Gabriel and Damien worked so closely together.
"Katherine you're looking well." Eve said.
"You are too Evelyn…my you are positively glowing." Katherine said with a smile. Eve looked at her friend as Katherine smirked, she knew too.
Damien and Gabriel walked ahead of them talking, while Katherine and Eve whispered quietly to one another. "How do you know?" Eve asked.
"Intuition. I've been around long enough to pick up on these types of things." Katherine was a good ten years older than Eve. Katherine was a widow with two children, her older son was seventeen, and her younger daughter was fifteen. Damien saw her one day and just simply fell in love with her and her two children.
"My sister figured it out too. She practically called in the entire Calvary."
"You mean your parents."
"And Jack and Adam." Eve looked at Gabriel. "I haven't told Gabriel."
"Don't worry Damien says he hasn't a clue. He thinks your tired from running around with your children."
"God, Katherine, we agreed that we wouldn't have anymore children. Colette requires my attention at all times…" Eve's eye glazed over with tears. "My little girl is sick and there isn't a thing I can do about it. And now I'm expecting another, and I don't know if I can handle this."
"Evelyn you are a wonderful mother. And you know that I am right next door, and I can help you whenever you want. You are a strong woman, and I know everything will be just fine…"
"I hope Gabriel takes the news…"
"Takes what news?" Gabriel said as he walked up to his wife.
"Nothing." Eve grabbed his hand and they took their seats in one of the balconies.
"Evelyn what aren't you telling me?" Gabriel whispered as the music started.
"I told you I would tell you at home."
"You told Katherine." Gabriel was visibly upset.
"No I didn't. She figured it out on her own."
"Evelyn, I don't like secrets." He went stern on her. "Tell me the truth now." Normally he would be very patient with her, but he knew something was troubling her deeply, and he wanted to do anything he could to help her.
"I'm having another baby." Eve scooted out of her chair and left the theatre, waiting out in the grand hall, knowing Gabriel would follow. At least in here, they wouldn't have to whisper.
Sure enough, by the time Eve turned around to face the door, Gabriel stood there, incredibly handsome, and incredibly dapper. "I'm sorry." Gabriel said as he walked down the stairs. "I didn't mean to be angry with you."
"I know that. I just found out and I wanted to let you know in a nice way…" Eve then thought back. "Every time I told you I was having a baby, it was a wrong way. With Jack and Gabe, you came running home in a frenzy, with Joshua, Jack blurted it out when he drank a bit too much, and with Colette you overheard Marie telling James. For the first time I wanted it to be perfect, seeing as though we agreed not to have any more children after Colette."
"Yes we did agree to that." Gabriel began pacing, something he did when he was deep in thought.
"Are you upset?" Eve asked.
Gabriel slowly turned around. "No, never…" The distance between them was great. Eve stood a good ten feet away from him.
"Are you scared?" Eve asked him.
"Yes, but I was scared with Jack, Gabe, Joshua, and Colette. Just because our daughter is ill, it doesn't mean that this baby will be sick either." Gabriel looked at his wife, she was pale and withdrawn, scared senseless. Gabriel closed the space between them and enveloped her in a hug. "Everything will be just fine."
"I hope so." Parental fear was in abundance in that hall. Both were vigilant of their daughter, and now both were afraid for their unborn child, it was so uncertain, whether this child would be born healthy. Gabriel held her tightly, she was trembling, she was afraid for her children, rightly so, she was their mother.
"We can just go home…" Gabriel said as he pulled her away.
"What about the dinner? I don't want your business to suffer because of me." Eve said as she stroked his arms.
"Nonsense…Damien will be there, he'll understand." Gabriel then took her hand and walked towards their carriage. "We'll go home, sit down with the children, and just relax. Try and wrestle them up and tell them they are having another brother or sister."
Eve smiled. "Colette should be happy."
"Yes she should be." Gabriel also smiled, another child, his family would grow even more.
The carriage ride back home was full of chatter from the both of them. "How are we going to tell them?" Eve asked.
"Just tell them. Blurt it out, sort of." Eve smiled at Gabriel.
"It will be interesting." Eve then looked out the window. "What's that?" Eve pointed at dark smoke pouring from the streets.
"Smoke." Gabriel leaned over Eve and looked out the window as well. He then pulled on the cord and the carriage stopped.
"Gabriel what is it?" Eve asked concerned.
He didn't say a word, and jumped out of the carriage and started running towards the house. Eve was right on his heels, picking up her skirts.
"Oh my God…" Eve whispered. There was their home…engulfed in flames.
(a/n) I know I am evil…hehe…
NOW ONTO THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN CHRISSY CUPCAKE AND KAREN KANGEROO!
"He's getting away!" Karen shouted as Suggie Cane run up his confecctionary staircase.
"No he's not..." Chrissy then flug a nonperil at Suggie's head, and he fell with a thud. "Now, we ask him were the frosting is."
XXXX
"Two choices Suggie, tell us where the frosting is, or you'll meet that big moon pie in the sky..." Willy warned Suggie.
"I ain't telling you nothing!" Suggie then turned his head to the side.
"This isn't working." Karen whispered to Joe.
"Let Willy work...he's good." Joe whispered back.
"So is my Captain..." Karen beamed proudly.
"Suggie, we aren't going to ask you again." Chrissy said. "Where is the frosting!" Chrissy shouted.
"Damnit! I don't have it alright!" Suggie cried. "I can tell you who does...just keep the hellcat away from me..." Suggie noticed Chrissy clenching her lollipop sword.
"Alright, if I tell her to go away, will you tell me who?" Willy asked.
"Yes."
(Alright Karen, who is the true Villian?)
