(A/N) I am so making up for my lack of damned updates! I have the chapters ready to go, but working over 40 hours a week…sucks! LOL Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

They were back in Paris. A carriage was waiting for them at the docks, ready to take them wherever they wanted to go, and that was, without a doubt, their country estate.

"I'll send word as soon as I can." Eve hugged her parents.

"Are you sure you don't want us to go?" Will asked.

"No. I don't want you to go." Eve then let them go. "Stay with William and Laura." Eve then saw Jack. She had no intention of speaking with him.

"Eve…" Jack started.

"Jack my children are waiting, what is it you want to say? I have to leave." Eve said.

"Eve reconsider, hiding isn't going to stop him."

"Well, you should be the expert. Jon came after me, and now this George is coming after me…well, I hope you get your wish, maybe he'll finish me off." Eve said bitterly.

"Eve, you know I don't want any harm to come to you."

"Jack, I'm leaving now. Goodbye." Eve wanted to hear no more of Jack, betrayal was something she didn't take well, especially since what Jon had done. Eve quickly climbed into the carriage.

Gabriel was holding Colette in his lap, Joshua and Gabe on either side of him. Eve sat next to Jack.

"What did he say?" Jack said spitefully.

"Nothing you need to worry about." Eve patted his knee.

Gabriel looked at her eyes, filled with pain, filled with anger. He sighed as Colette nestled against his shoulder. "I have ordered that we speed it up, maybe by early tomorrow morning, we should arrive. Damien has ordered the staff there, so the house is fully up and running."

"Good." Eve then flopped her head back.

"Are you alright?" Gabriel asked alarmed.

"I'm fine." Gabriel knew she was lying…or perhaps hiding the truth, because he knew she was torn up inside.

XXXXXXXXXX

It was the middle of the early morning hours, when they woke to shouting. Eve popped her head up as did Gabriel. "What was that?" Eve asked. The carriage then stopped. They heard the driver say to someone to get out of the road.

Then they heard a gunshot. Gabriel sat very still…he knew what was happening…below his seat, he reached for his pistol, as he saw Eve do the same exact thing. Then the coach started shaking violently, and then it tipped over to its side. The children screamed with fright as Eve looked up and saw Gabriel trying to help the children up…it rolled over again…someone was pushing them off the road.

"Gabriel we are by the river!" Eve screamed, as she saw out of one of the windows, the river. They were rolling the entire carriage into the river, they wanted them to drown.

"Evelyn come here…" Eve made her way over to Gabriel. "We are going to have to swim…" The carriage then took its final tumble, it rolled and rolled until it hit the water.

The carriage bobbled a bit as it settled into the water. Gabriel brought his head up and saw Eve and his children were alright. "Eve hold onto Colette!" Gabriel tried breaking the door but the pressure of the water was too great. "We have to wait for it to fill!" The cold water was seeping in; it was so cold Eve saw Joshua's lips turn blue.

The carriage slowly filled with water. Gabriel then nodded to Eve and he swam down to the door and finally pushed it open. He surfaced, for one last bit of air.

Gabriel took both Jack and Gabe's hands, and swam out. Eve held onto both Joshua and Colette and took them to the surface. As they came up they all gasped with air. Looking to the banks, Gabriel saw no one was on them, he had hoped the horses were still there, but he doubted it.

"Evelyn, are you alright?" Gabriel called out.

"Yes. Are you alright?" She asked her children.

"Yes." They answered at once.

"Alright, let's get to shore." They all swam to shore.

"Evelyn, stay here…I'm going to check the road." Gabriel said. Eve looked over all her children, placing her hand on their foreheads, and checking their arms and legs for any bruises. Luckily she found they were all alright, they were only a bit shaken up. Eve then waited for Gabriel to return. As she paced the shoreline she felt that same pain, the pain that had brought on so many miscarriages, she closed her eyes, and muffled a cry of pain.

"We have two horses…the other two ran off…" Gabriel said out of breath.

"So what do you want to do?" Eve asked, her hand on her back.

"We walk to the house…it should only be five miles maybe six." Eve rolled her eyes, her body was in no mood to walk.

"Alright…" She then picked up Colette. Gabriel picked up Joshua, and Jack and Gabe followed their father. Eve was behind keeping her eyes on her two boys…they hadn't spoken much, and it worried her. "Gabriel, are you sure that the road is clear?"

"Yes, the tracks are leading back to the city. Not towards the house." Eve was still nervous.

Gabriel rounded the horses up. He hoisted Jack and Gabe on one horse a piece, and placed Colette with Jack, and Joshua with Gabe. Both Jack and Gabe knew how to ride horses, and Gabriel knew they would handle their smaller brother and sister. Gabriel took the reins of on horse, and looked over at Eve who was doing the same thing. They began walking. Gabriel cursed himself, he wished there was another horse for Evelyn, she was pregnant, and she didn't need this…

"Let me know if you don't feel well…" Gabriel told her. Eve just nodded, just trudging forward.

"It was him." She said finally. "It was George. I know it."

"Yes…I believe so." Gabriel said. "He won't get to us again." Gabriel swore he saw her wince in pain.

XXXXXXXXXX

Six hours of walking had its toll on Eve's body. She was unimaginably tired, her back was bothering her, and that familiar pain seemed to dull in her abdomen. Gabriel noticed her discomfort but she didn't say a word about it. The sun was starting to come up, and he looked back at his children, they were tired, all sleepy eyed and dreary. He then looked over at Eve, she looked just as bad as probably he did himself.

Off to the distance, he saw smoke from the chimneys of their home. "Thank God." He said.

He saw some servants were outside. "Hey!" He called out to them. They all looked up, one of them being James, and they all came running.

"Sir, what happened?" James said as he ran to him.

"We were attacked on the rode." Gabriel then reached for his children and pulled Joshua and Gabriel down. He watched Eve reach for Colette and pull her down…but when she reached for Jack, she held her back…she held onto the horse's saddle…Gabriel was at her side in a moment and caught her before she fell to the ground.

"James, ask Marie to make sure the children are washed and fed, they need to sleep as well, I will care for Evelyn." Gabriel strode in the house carrying his wife, she was tired, rightfully so, he thought.

He quickly took her upstairs and laid her down in bed. "Evelyn…wake up darling…" He whispered in her ear. "Please, you have to let me know what's wrong." Eve just moaned in pain. "Where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere." She mumbled.

"We can fix that." Gabriel lifted her once again and took her to the bathing room that was off their bedroom. Inside a bathing tub sat in the middle of it…it was full of hot water, in anticipation of their arrival sometime today. Gabriel stripped her clothes off her and he slid her into the tub.

"Thank you…" She mumbled. He washed her hair for her, putting that lovely heather scent in her hair. When he was done washing her he lifted her out of the tub, and slid her robe on her, and carried her to bed, tucking her under the covers. Gabriel also washed up, six hours on a dusty, muddy rode put mud in places in which he never thought he had. He dressed and saw Eve was still asleep and checked on the children, who were all nestled comfortably into their own beds, asleep. Gabriel sighed and headed down the stairs, wanting to speak to James.

"Sir, we can best protect this place if we use what we have." James said. "There are a couple of young lads on the property, we put them on a watch, and then we see what happens."

"Sounds good." Gabriel then ran his hand through his damp hair.

"Sir, I suggest you rest along with your wife, I'll keep things in order."

"Thank you James. If anything happens I want you to inform me immediately."

"Of course."

Gabriel then went back to his bedroom and climbed into bed next to Eve. "Gabriel?" She said softly.

"Yes, I'm here." The sound of her voice woke him right up.

"Alright." Eve then snuggled close to him. He felt her small belly next to his and sighed. He truly wished she would tell him when she was hurting. He had no clue what she felt…but he knew what she was thinking…that's something you get after ten years of marriage. Gabriel kissed her forehead and soon fell asleep himself.

(A/N) Finally Karen Updated the Adventures!

NOW ONTO THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN CHRISSY CUPCAKE AND KAREN KANGEROO! (Btw…Karen, I am 5'10, how tall are you?) (EXTRA LONG ADVENTURE! FIND OUT HOW CHRISSY AND KAREN MEET!)

"Thanks Karen…" Chrissy's eyes traveled to the impeding Cupcake Mountain. They were a good ten hours away from the port, but the pink ice from the tops of the mountains were already visible.

"Welcome." Karen said on her tip toes, desperately trying to tower over her Captain. Chrissy smiled, Karen always trying to out do her…but Karen didn't see that Chrissy was wearing flat shoes, Karen was wearing the heels with her boots. However, whatever she was lacking in height, Karen made up for in heart. Karen was the best friend a Captain or girl could have. She was sweet, endearing, thoughtful, and gracious, and besides she was one hell of a pirate. Chrissy then looked at Willy, that was her future, however, giving up sailing the seas tore her up inside, she didn't want to leave the seas, but she didn't want to lose Will, either. Making one last glance at Cupcake Mountain, her uncertainty, Chrissy sighed looked Karen directly in the eyes.

"I need to check some maps, make sure we know where my fath…I mean the Muffin Man is. Your in charge, make sure we keep good time."

"Yes Captain." Karen said as she quizzically looked at her Captain walk away. Karen wasn't sure how she would react if she was in Chrissy's shoes. Of course Karen's parents protested the fact that she would sail the 31 flavor seas, but Karen enjoyed the freedom. Coming from a wealthy family, Karen didn't understand freedom, not until she met Chrissy.

"I want you to take me to Candyland immediately! I will not ask again!" Karen demanded of the Captain of the Chocolate Couture.

"Listen missy, I don't care how much beans ye got! I ain't taking a pain in the arse like yourself anywhere!" The man walked away, leaving a fuming Karen to wonder her other possibilities.

"I can't stay here!" She shouted after him. He just waved her off and walked away. "Damnit!"

"Cursing isn't going to get you anywhere…" A woman said. She was leaning against some crates, watching Karen fuss. The woman was tall, had blondish hair, brown eyes, and was attractive. Karen felt the confidence of her, and quickly dismissed it.

"Mind your own business." Chrissy smirked at the prissy girl.

"Well, the entire port heard your business." Chrissy said as she looked at the young girl. Chrissy knew she was young, her eyes looked young, she hadn't seen the harshness of the real world, but Chrissy guessed that she was only a few years younger than herself. "Besides, I may be able to help you."

"Really?"

"Yup. So, it's up to you."


"I don't know your name."

"Captain Chrissy Cupcake, at your service. I sail the 31 flavors in my Snickers."


"Cupcake? What a ridiculous name!" Karen laughed.

"Well what's yours?"


"Lady Karen Kangeroo."


Chrissy doubled over in laughter. "At least I am not named after a bloody animal, MY LADY!" Chrissy was laughing so hard her face was red, and tears streamed down her face.

"Forget it!" Karen picked up her skirts and turned away from the Captain.

"Wait, I'm sorry…" Chrissy caught up with Karen. "Alright, where do you want to go? Candyland?"

"Yes."


"Done."

"That easy."


"Yup."

"Has anyone ever told you your odd?" Karen said after her anger had passed.

"Yes. However, there is one condition."

"I figured that." Karen took out her bag of coins.

"No, not that. You will work on my ship."


"What?" Karen said outraged. "I shall do no such thing."


"Listen little girl, I have seen to many prissy, posh, aristocrat, girls such as yourself head out to the seas and either die or become a personal slave to some nasty God forsaken pirate scum, who will use you up and dump you overboard given his first chance. I won't see that in you…besides, you got a loud mouth, you'd fit right in with my crew." Karen thought about the proposition for a while, and nodded, she had no where else to go.

What Karen found out later was that Chrissy had once been one of those prissy, posh, aristocrat girls, and that she had got caught up in almost everything. Karen owned her life to her Captain, and that's why she was so loyal, that's why she cared for her friend so much.

Willy started walking towards Chrissy's cabin. Karen put her hand out and stopped him. "No." She said sternly.

"I need to talk to her. I need to know she's okay."

"She needs to be alone now." Karen said. Her Captain was in a rare mood, and she knew it was somewhat best that they all stay clear, because her Captain was liable to blow the top off of Cupcake Mountain herself.

(Tada! I think the way we met was interesting! And the way I describe Miss Kangeroo in this fic, is the same way WILLIZ is everyone! She really is a sweetheart! Now Karen, get me to the Mountain…so I can blow it up! OMG can you all wait for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! I can't wait!) (Sorry, just thought of it and had a spasm!)
