Chapter 16:

  It was late evening and Alexandra had spent the entire day attempting to avoid everyone and anyone possible. At first of all she had tried to stay in bed excusing herself as feeling rather unwell but Jack decided to be persistent that day and had wanted to stay by her side 'tending' to his ill 'wife'. So by that afternoon Alexandra had been extremely well looked after by Jack indeed.

  Alexandra had afterwards decided that it was best if they both left their room for a little while so that no one came looking for them and walked in on them by accident. She hadn't originally intended on sleeping with Jack but he had been as per usual…very persuading in his ways.

  She was now sat in the garden on the bench that over looked Port Royal, watching the sun as it began to set. She had been successfully left alone now for about two hours and had used this opportunity to think over what had gone on between her and Edward. She had at one moment, come to the conclusion that as much as she had some sort of feelings for Edward she had to remain faithful to Jack as she owed him her life.

  But then she still felt guilty about her father who originally intended for her to marry Edward so by staying with him she was actually fulfilling her father's wishes. It was very difficult to decide what her heart or head wanted her to do.

  Sighing Alexandra covered her face with her hands and wished that someone would tell her straight…tell her exactly what to do and who to choose but life was never that simple…especially for Alexandra. She felt two soft hands gently squeeze her shoulders and lips press against her head.

"What is wrong little sister?"

  Alexandra tilted her head back and looked up at her sister who was smiling at her but still with a look of concern crossing her features. Moving over Alexandra patted the gap besides her, wanting and needing her sister to comfort her as her mother had once done when she was a mere child.

  Even though she was unable to tell her exactly what the problems were. Waiting until Elizabeth had settled Alexandra rested her head in her sister's lap and closed her eyes enjoying the soothing sensation of her sister running her fingers through her hair.

"I am not so little now Elizabeth and there is nothing wrong…just I was lost in that beautiful view."

  Elizabeth nodded looking up from where her gaze had been at her sister and looked across the horizon.

"It is amazing indeed…Alexandra I have something I need to tell you."

  Alexandra tensed panicking that her sister was about to announce that she had heard from one of the maids that she was seen leaving the Commodore's room late last night and wanted to know what was going on. She sat up quickly and looked at her sister searching her eyes for any sign of emotions…like hate or pain but instead she was greeted wish her sisters soft smile and her eyes alight with the emotions of joy.

"What Elizabeth? What is it that you have to tell me?"

  Elizabeth gripped her sister's hands tightly between her own and giggled.

"You are to be an Aunt Alexandra…I am with child!"

  Alexandra stared at her sister and smiled hugging her tightly so relieved that she didn't know about her and Commodore Norrington. They stayed in a tight embrace for a while before the many questions of a typical woman began to bug Alexandra. Leaning back she held her older sister at arms length and sighed bursting with questions and enquiries.

"An Aunt! I am far too young for that! Anyway when did you find out?"

"Only yesterday."

"Does Will know yet?"

  Playfully pushing her sister Elizabeth nodded and smiled.

"Of course he does! I told him as soon as possible yesterday when Will and Jack had got in from their day out."

  Elizabeth laughed and shook her head listening to her sister babble on for a while about how everything would change when the baby came and numerous other little things. She smiled seeing how happy that her sister was and closed her eyes allowing Alexandra's voice to lull her into a relaxed state.

"So how far along does the doctor believe you are then?"

"Well from what he can tell at least two months…I had felt unwell just before we set off to rescue but I believed it all to be due to the stress of the situation."

  Alexandra smiled hugging her sister again and resting her head against Elizabeth's. She couldn't believe it she was going to be an aunt…the little revelation by Elizabeth had allowed Alexandra a break from fretting and thinking over her own little dilemma.

"I cannot wait for it to be born…I would love it to be a girl…but a boy would be nice! I have to get everything ready and…oh Alexandra you will have to help me I don't quite know where to begin with being a mother."

  Alexandra smiled and sighed suddenly wondering what it would be like to be a mother herself…then she remembered. She still had to go see Edward before he went and slipped up revealing all about their little incident last night

~*~

  Edward was sat at his desk within his room, which doubled up, for his study when he felt that he wished solitude. He read over the various documents signing and reviewing them as well as the maps that he had received that day. It was a menial task and often very tedious but he felt that he had more power as he was the one who over saw the entire running of the port and navy of Port Royal.

  Ever since he had been promoted to Commodore he felt as if he had finally achieved one of the many ambitions in his life. And now he could see himself hopefully fulfilling one of his other ambitions one that would make him finally content.

  Edward heard the door knock and hardly even glanced up from his paperwork as he answered, calling the unknown person into his room. He heard the door open and close with a gentle click and the soft swish of skirts as they brushed along the floor.

"I hope I am not disturbing you."

  Edward lifted his head when he heard Alexandra's voice, turning to look at Alexandra he saw her stood with her back to the door looking rather worried and quiet. Smiling Edward rose and approached her holding out his hand, which she cautiously took. Kissing her hand softly he led Alexandra over to the sofa like chair and sat with her.

"I'm glad that you came to see me."

  Reaching over Edward held Alexandra's hand squeezing it softly. Alexandra looked at her feet and nodded before slowly raising her gaze to meet Edwards.

"I did promise."

  A little over a month had past and Alexandra had been sleeping with both Jack and Edward having been unable to bring herself to end it with either. She had been feeling sick now for a few weeks and had decided that it was about time to call he doctor and find out what was wrong.

  She was lying on the bed staring out the windows, which she had thrown wide open to enjoy the hot Caribbean summer breeze as it blew through causing the curtains to billow out. Alexandra was waiting for the doctor to arrive, as he was due anytime soon. She had decided that today was the best time as she had successfully sent jack off into town with Will on some errands and knew that Elizabeth was away visiting a friend with their father.

  Alexandra lifted her head and looked over towards the door hearing the knock, one of her maids slowly opened the door and peered in when Alexandra had answered. Curtseying the maid showed the doctor into Alexandra's room and quickly left.

  Alexandra rose from the bed and smiled at the doctor.

"Thank you Doctor for coming at such short notice. I do hope I have not been of any inconvience to you in any way I do realise that you have such a busy schedule."

"Not at all Alexandra I have known your father the Governor since he arrived here and would always come at short notice for him or your elder sister dear Elizabeth. How is she by the way?"

"Very well indeed thank you Doctor."

  Alexandra sat down on the edge of the bed watching the doctor begin to unpack his doctors' bag onto her small table. She sighed feeling awkward and very much like a little child again as the doctor

"So Alexandra my dear what is it exactly that has had you call me out? Care to explain the symptoms."

"Well I have been feeling sick and tired and a bit bloated for a while now and I at first believed it to have been due to my little adventure and the stress and sleep deprivation catching up on me but now I am not so sure."

  Nodding the Doctor walked over to Alexandra and began to carry out an examination.

~*~

  About an hour later Alexandra sat watching the Doctor as he repacked his bag and put on his jacket. She waited worried yet patient for the Doctor to explain what his examination had revealed. He had asked her quite a few question but none which revealed what he believed what was wrong.

"What is it then doctor?"

"Well Alexandra dear I gather you shall be joining your sister fairly soon."

"What ever do you mean by that?!"

"You my dear are pregnant."

  Alexandra stared at the doctor is disbelief, she suddenly felt extremely faint and unwell. Remembering that the doctor was still in the room Alexandra looked up smiling and clasping her hands together.

"Pregnant…that is…wonderful news. Thank you Doctor so very much."

"Well congratulations my dear…don't worry about getting up I can show myself out."

  Waiting until the doctor had left, Alexandra shifted down beneath the covers of the bed and began massaging her temples. She held back the tears and pulled her covers right up beneath her chin and curled up into a tight ball.

  Jack sat at the dining table that evening listening to the various conversations going on around him. The Governor had invited the entire crew of the Black Pearl to his house for a meal along with a few other friends over Elizabeth and Will's to celebrate the news that Elizabeth was pregnant.

  He looked over towards Will and Elizabeth, who were sat opposite to him, smiling away and answering every question that was asked of them so very eagerly.

  The crew of the Black Pearl had all scrubbed up the best that a pirate crew could do for the occasion and were all thoroughly enjoying themselves. The Governor seemed to be enjoying himself immensely as he chatted away to Mr.Gibbs and heard the various tales of the Black Pearl and her adventures, which often were exaggerated nicely by Mr.Gibbs. He knew that really he should be talking way like the others but for the moment he was content to sit back and observe.

  Anamaria was sat beside Elizabeth and though not wearing a gown like Elizabeth, looked very beautiful and so relaxed as she laughed and chatted with the various guests. He remembered the days when he had feelings for her but now he only saw her as a crewmate and a good friend who had been through a lot with him…not to mention a few good hearty slaps he had received from her, that had been many an ending to their adventures.

  Alexandra, who was sat beside Jack, had been quiet all evening, she spoke little and seemed more intent on pushing her food around her plate as if deep in thought. He reached under the table and tugged on her dress playfully trying to get her attention. Alexandra looked up startled and stared in to Jacks deep brown eyes smiling at him.

"What's wrong luv?"

 " Oh…nothing Jack. I just must be a little tired that's all."

  Nodding Jack decided that it was best that he didn't press Alexandra to really explain what was wrong. He had leant from his few experiences that women were best left to come to you then you over push them and get slapped. If a woman wanted to slap you they sure could…. His cheek tingled at the thought reminding him of the many slaps he had received over the years, he smiled one of his trademark grins and leant over kissing Alexandra on the cheek.

  Alexandra smiled and looked up around the room glancing at the people about the table. She was so thankful that Commodore Norrington had been unable to attend due to a rather important meeting. It gave her a chance to relax a little more but it was still difficult as the knowledge that she was pregnant still played in the back of her mine.

  The meal continued on late into the night and in the end the crew had to have rooms sorted for them to stay in since they were in such a terrible drunken state that they were unable to stagger back to the Black Pearl. Jack laughed watching his crew as they made their ways slowly up the staircase and off into their rooms singing rather loudly.

  Governor Swann was in a similar state and was last seen staggering along the corridor singing out of tune one of the many tunes the crew of the Black Pearl had taught him.

  Jack helped Alexandra long the corridor, she was rather sleepily and quite tipsy. She had soon perked up and had become involved in one of the many games that the crew were playing. Opening the door he half carried half escorted Alexandra over to the bed and placed her on it. Helping her to undress and change into her nightgown he watched her eventually crawl beneath the covers and fall immediately in a deep sleep. Jack soon joined her and arranging himself into a more comfortable position Jack fell asleep.
