Smithy sorry about the gender mix-up (hehehe) glad you understand, thanks for clearing up your theory with me, I never thought of it like that before!

Chapter 3

After I had cleared things up with Oliver, I began to unwind and enjoy the wedding reception, but I couldn't get the woman we had left behind out of my head, I wondered if she was ok, if she was even alive.

"Yo ho yo ho a pirates life for us!" we sang, this was our song that we sung when we were drunk. It seemed fitting for the circumstances.

I wasn't drunk yet, I had only had about four bottles, and I needed way more than that to get me drunk. I looked over to Elizabeth and she had a strange look on her face.

"You ok Elizabeth?" I asked, I presumed she was upset because she couldn't get drunk due to the baby, so she had a funny look on her face. She was holding her belly but I thought nothing of it because she does that all the time anyway.

"Yes" she replied through clenched teeth. "I'm just going for a lie down, I'm feeling a bit tired" she said, she stood up to tell a drunken Will what she was doing and then disappeared into their cabin.

"Won't be long before you're like that Lily" said Oliver as he sat next to me and pointed to where Elizabeth had recently been.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. I knew full well what he meant but he was drunk so I decided to pry a little.

"I mean aren't we having children?" he asked me drunkenly.

"Well yeah…but…but we've only just got married…today…don't you want to wait and enjoy wedded bliss first?"

"Course I do, I was just pointing it out"

"So you want children?"

"Yeah"

"How many?"

"As many as we get"

I was just about to answer Oliver when I heard a pain filled cry coming from Elizabeth's cabin

"Elizabeth!" I exclaimed and I ran to her cabin and didn't even bother to knock before entering. Elizabeth had changed into her nightgown and was led on the bed clutching her bump.

"Lily!" she gasped

"Elizabeth? Are you ok? Is it the baby? What can I do?"

"Go…get…blankets…water…and a…cloth…tell Will…come…back…quick" Elizabeth instructed me in between taking deep breaths.

"Ok!" I answered and ran back out of the room.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!" I whispered to myself as I rushed down to the galley and I got a bowl and filled it with water.

"Lily?" asked Oliver as he spotted me running into the store room

"Oliver go and get Will and tell him to come to me, Elizabeth's having the baby…I think!"

"Oh good lord!" Oliver exclaimed before running off.

I got a cloth and three blankets, one for the baby and two for on the bed.

"Lily?" asked Will, he was still drunk. Oliver was behind him, followed by Dad and Bill

"Will, Elizabeth's having the baby, come with me" I said before picking up all of the things I had collected and going back to Elizabeth. I accidentally spilt some of the water on me because I was going so fast but I didn't care.

When I got to Elizabeth, she was screaming.

"Elizabeth, I have the things you wanted, just breathe, you'll be fine, Will is here"

"Will?"

"Yes Elizabeth, I'm here, just do what Lily says" said Will from behind me, he rushed forwards and held her hand, giggling all the way.

"You're drunk!" Elizabeth shouted

"Yes" giggled Will

"I can't have you here when your drunk Will! I won't have the first thing my baby sees is its drunken father!"

"Aww but Elizabeth, I want to see!" said Will childishly. Elizabeth looked behind Will and looked at Bill and father pointedly. Fortunately Bill wasn't that drunk and grabbed hold of Will's arm.

"Come on son" he said and he dragged Will out. Father, who was also drunk, was left behind; he stood and grinned at us.

"Out Jack!" screamed Elizabeth, Dad looked like her was going to protest but I gave him my best deadly glare and he scowled at me and went out.

"Wait for me Bill and Will! A pirate's life for me! I love rum!" he shouted as he swayed out of the door.

"OW!" shouted Elizabeth, it brought me back to my senses and I laid out the blankets and mopped her forehead with the water and the cloth.

"Just breathe Elizabeth" I said, I could hear Anamaria shouting at Dad and Will.

"GET DOWN FROM THE RAIL, DO YE WANT TO FALL OVERBOARD! NO ONE CARES IF YOU BOTH LOVE BLOODY RUM! YE DRUNKEN IDIOTS!" She yelled.

"Looks like Jack and Will and getting into trouble" said Elizabeth as she breathed and winced through the pain.

"Yes" I said quickly, I lifted Elizabeth's nightgown and checked for a baby's head. I was shocked to see what I saw.

"Lizzy! It's coming!" I cried, how was she doing this.

"Right…get ready…to wrap…it up" she breathed.

"Okay!" I gasped, I held my breath as Elizabeth screamed, I held her hand while trying to steady the blanket in my other hand, I winced as Elizabeth's hand gripped mine harder. Eventually I was able to let go and catch the newborn baby in the blanket. I was pleased to see (for Will's sake) that it was a baby boy.

I cut the umbilical cord with a knife I keep in my boot, and passed the bundle to Elizabeth. I started to clean up the blankets and said to Lizzy how beautiful her son was. I was about to get Will when Elizabeth started screaming again.

"Elizabeth what the hell…" I began, but I was cut off my Elizabeth thrusting the baby into my arms.

"Another…one's coming" she gasped.

"What!" I said, I didn't have time to be confused anymore because Elizabeth glared at me and motioned for me to help her. I set the baby down on the bed.

"You know Lizzy, you never said you were having twins" I said as I looked for another baby's head.

"I…didn't know!" shouted Elizabeth as she pushed.

"right it's coming out!" I yelled.

"It's about bloody time! Will's going berserk out here!" called Dad, it sounded like they had sobered up.

"Its twins! The first one has bloody come out!" I yelled back, the baby started to cry as if to prove my point.

"What!" I heard Will shout

"Lily!" shouted Elizabeth as the other baby came out. I wrapped her up and cut the cord, I handed her to Elizabeth.

"She looks just like you Elizabeth" I commented, I was right though, the baby was the spitting image of her mother, apart from her eyes, she had her father's eyes, just like her brother.

"oh Lily, I don't know what to say, I'm just so tired" said Elizabeth, I took the baby off her and she fell asleep.
