Thanks for the reviews!
Sorry it took so long!
please review!

Lily was out shopping with Elizabeth.
She was about 6 or 7 months along, so she didn't ever stay out too long or her back would start bothering her, but she enjoyed being outside too much to care.

They walked into a shop that sold maternity dresses for Lily.

She picked out a few and left Elizabeth to pay.
When she walked out she bumped into the Commodore.

"Oh I'm sorry Commodore." She said sheepishly.

"Please call me James." He said turning on his devilish charm.

Lily frowned and remembered that the last time he had told her that, he had been proposing to her.

"No, I'll call you Commodore like the rest of the residents here." She said in a clipped voice.
Elizabeth was still paying so Lily was alone with James.

His eyes filled with fire and he grabbed her by the arm, pulling her to the side.
"What have I ever done to make you act this way toward me Ludivine?" He asked through clenched teeth.

"My name is Lily!" She said pulling her arm from his grasp.

James began cornering her in an alley, when Lily heard Elizabeth call her name.
"Sorry Commodore , but I must be going," She said viciously before pushing her way past him.

Elizabeth didn't see her come out of the alley ,so she didn't question Lily.

The two just walked home in silence.

When Lily got back to the house she felt sore, and tired, so she naturally walked to the staircase to go to the bedroom.

When she got to the bottom of the stairs and felt the pain in her back, she just stuck her bottom lip out and stared upstairs , willing the bed to come to her.

Jack saw her pathetic look and walked up behind her,
"Whats wrong love, mad at the stairs?"

Lily turned around with the same pouty face,
"Im too sore to walk up the stairs but im tired." Jack smiled and lead her to the couch in the parlor.

He sat down and pulled her onto his lap so she was facing him.
"Jack this is hardly the time." Lily said laughing.

"Just be quiet , thats not what I'm doing." Jack said "Just relax and you'll see."

Lily frowned but snaked her arms around Jack's back and rested her head on his shoulder.
Jack wrapped his arms around Lily and began massaging her lower back.

Lily let out a low moan , and Jack tried his best not to get aroused.
Lily felt herself falling asleep, and instead of fighting the feeling, she gave in and soon fell asleep in Jacks arms.

Jack noticed her heavy breathing,"Lily?" He asked.

She didn't answer so he decided she was asleep.
He gently picked her up and carried her upstairs.

When he set her down on the bed , he put his hand on her swollen stomach and couldn't keep from smiling when he felt movement.

He remembered the fearsome pirate he had been only months before.
How he never would of pictured himself here.

He realized right then and there that he didn't need a ship and a crew, or any whores or rum...well maybe rum.

All he needed was this.

Someone to love.

A Family.

Jack knew what he needed to do.

He told Elizabeth to watch over Lily , while he went out to get something.
It was almost 5:00 so he hoped the shop was still open.

Jack sat in her room, he had been watching her sleep for probably an hour already.
When he saw her stir his heart lept up into his throat.

She opened her eyes and rolled over to see Jack watching her.
"How long have you been there?" She asked curiously.

"Dont know love, look I need to ask ye something." He said anxiously.

"Ok..." Lily said sitting up.

Jack walked over to the side of the bed, and reached into his pocket.
He pulled out a diamond ring with a shaky hand,

"Wanna marry me?" He asked

Lily just stared at the ring, it was breath taking.

It was a small oval shaped diamond, but the thick silver band was encrested with rubies and emeralds in the shape of roses.
She looked up at Jack, then to the ring, then Jack.

"I was wondering when you would ask!" She said with a smile

"So is that a yes?" He asked

Lily nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jack kissed her deeply, releived that she had said yes.

Lily kissed back, releived he had asked.

When they broke the kiss Jack slipped the ring onto Lily's finger and Lily started crying.
Jack climbed into bed with Lily and fell asleep holding her.
His future wife.
