Well lets meet the baby!
Will had already left to get someone of authority to arrest the man that had attacked his sister.
At this point he was already half way home.
Elizabeth was standing in the parlor wringing a hankercheif into knots, not knowing what to do.
When she heard Jack yell her name she leapt into the room.
She saw Jack holding Lily, trying to move her to the bed.
Elizabeth feared the worst.
"Here help her, I'll get the noble commodore outside." Jack said almost giddy now that he was about to be a father.
Elizabeth realized that Lily wasn't hurt, only giving birth.
She rushed to Lily's side as Jack dragged James onto the porch, only to be met by Will and a few guards that were on patrol.
"This man tryed to kill my wife." Jack said tossing him at the guards, then running inside ignoring the shocked looks on everyones faces.
"Jack?" Will asked wondering why he had run off.
He looked back at them and shrugged.
"AAAHH" Lily screamed at the top of her lungs, being overly dramatic, but with every right.
"My love, I'm so sorry I wasn't here!" Jack said throwing himself beside the bed.
He continued to apologize over and over again as Lily began to wail.
Elizabeth was on her way out of the bedroom to get the midwife when she collided with Will.
"Whats going on?" Will asked breathlessly.
"Get the Midwife! Lily's having the baby!" She answered.
Will's eyes widened and he fled out the door.
Elizabeth went to kitchen and started to boil a large pot of water and got a washcloth wet.
She went into Lily's room,
Amazingly Jack had somehow calmed her from screams to soft moans of pain.
Elizabeth put the washcloth on Lily's forehead and told Jack that Will was on his way with the midwife.
It wasn't long before Will was pushing the midwife in her nightgown through the bedroom door.
"Hello Miss Lamont, How are we doing." She asked kindly, with years of patience in her eyes.
Lily just gave her an angry look.
"Oh, that's how. Ok well in that case, I'm going to need some boiled water and sterile cloth"
Elizabeth held her finger up then left and reamerged with a pot of boiling water andfreshly washed towels on her arm.
"Very good, now I'd like everyone to leave the room." She stated firmly.
Elizabeth and Will left but Jack hesitated by the bed side.
"Lily," He said softly by her ear. "It's going to be ok my love"
She nodded as a tear rolled down her flushed cheek.
He kissed her gently then walked slowly from the room.
When he sat down in the parlor all he could do was bury his face into the arm of the couch and try to block out Lily's screams.
When there was no sound, the silence was horrifying and riveting all at the same time.
"Jack." Elizabeth said trying to cheer him up.
"Aye." He said muffled into the couch.
"Do you know what you'll name the baby?" Will said after noticing Elizabeth had no idea what to say.
"Aye, we had names all picked out."
"What are they?" Elizabeth said softly placing a hand on Jack's shoulder.
"If it was a boy, we would name him Jack jr."
"Of course," Will said with a half smile. "And a girl?"
"If it were a little gerl ..."
Jack was cut off by the shrill cry of a baby.
His head snapped around towards the door.
"Go on!" Elizabeth said pushing him off the couch.
Jack walked carefully towards the door.
" No turning back now mate..." He told himself as he turned the doorknob.
0.o.0
Lily looked up from the small bundle in her arms and met eyes with Jack.
A smile instantly covered his face as he walked over to the bedside.
"Jack, I'd like you to meet your little girl." Lily said quietly
"Hello Destiny."
AWW... But wait there's more! REVIEW !
