Thank you so much for all your reviews, they really do help me with ideas and I plan to add two of your suggestions into the story so look out for them!
Chapter 12
"Say Daddy" said Will to Jack, every since Lily had said my name Will had been desperate to hear his son speak.
"Will give up, he'll talk when he's ready" I said, coming out of Oliver's cabin, we had had a passionate night and I was quite tired. I had heard Will talking to Jack from inside.
"He might do though!" exclaimed Will; I suppose he didn't want to miss anything.
I sighed and walked over to the rail of the Star Maker, looking back and giving a nod to Oliver, who was stumbling out of his cabin, I swung over to the Black Pearl, just because Dad had kicked me off didn't mean I couldn't swing over whenever I wanted; I just had to get to my cabin.
I walked across the deck and into my cabin; I pulled out my red corset and pulled off the blue one I was currently wearing.
I walked out of the cabin, still lacing up the red corset. I noticed Clara on the steps to go into the galley. To my surprise she motioned for me to go to her. Letting curiosity get the better of me, I went to her.
"What do you want?" I spat
"A word" she said simply, she held my wrist and pulled me into the galley.
"Well?" I asked shortly, I didn't want to face father today, I was too tired.
"I want to ask you what you meant the other day, about blood" she said. I knew that she knew what I meant; I suppose she just wanted confirmation.
"Right well I'm only telling you this so I can get you off my back" I began. "we had docked in Tortuga and we had found an inn to stay in, next door we heard shouts, screams and thuds, so Dad went round to shut you up, I followed and when we found you, you were covered in blood with your husband hitting you, Dad knocked him out with a vase and we put you into the bed, I cleaned the blood off your face and we went back to the inn, the next day we were about to set sail when you came running and begged us to take you with us, Dad refused and we never saw you again, until you came back" I explained as quickly as I could, Clara didn't interrupt me to my surprise, she looked at with horror filled eyes.
"That…that was you?" she gasped, "You were the people that I vaguely remember saving me?"
"Yes" I said, I started to head for the door but I was stopped by Clara's voice.
"Thank you" she said. I turned on my heal, unsure of what to say. "Never thought I'd hear you ever say that me Clara" I said
"This doesn't mean I like you Lily Sparrow, I just wanted to know what you were on about, I am here for a reason and then I'll be gone, and you won't have to worry about me ever again, hopefully"
"Oh believe me I know" I spat, I walked up to her so our feet were nearly touching. I looked her straight in the eyes. "I hate you, for what you've done, all the trouble you've caused, for turning my father against me" I glared at her one more time before turning and walking back out of the door.
When I got to the deck of the ship, I saw father at the helm, he looked at me but looked away when he saw I was looking. I made my way to the rail and suddenly felt my stomach churning. I felt sick and I could feel it coming. I ran the rest of the way to the rail and spilled my stomachs contents into the sea below.
I felt a tug on my arm when I leant back up. I turned round, expecting to see Oliver standing next to me for some strange reason, but I was surprised to find Dad staring at me, he dropped my arm and looked at me.
"Are you ok?" he asked, his brows were furrowed and he had the protective father look in his eyes once again. Oh how I had longed to see his eyes like that again, even though I didn't like it under normal circumstances.
"I'm fine" I said, I walked past him, and grabbed a rope from the side; I turned to look at father and was quite upset when I saw the 'father side' had gone from his eyes. "Just watch your back, like I'm watching mine" I said meaningfully, before swinging over to the Star Maker.
"Are you ok Lily?" came Oliver's voice from behind me. I turned around and saw his intense brown eyes staring into my own, as if trying to find an answer in them.
"I'm ok" I said "just got a little bit sick"
"If you're sure you're fine, I won't pry anymore" said Oliver, still looking into my eyes.
"I'm sure" I said. "Do you know where we're going?" I asked Oliver, I hadn't really thought about it before now.
"Tortuga" replied Oliver. "I spoke to Jack yesterday and we went over the charts and maps, we couldn't decide on where to go so we thought we'd go to Tortuga, it'll give Clara a chance to go home as well" he said, he gave me a mischievous smile and kissed me, unfortunately my guts ad other idea and I found myself running to the rail once more.
"I thought you said you were fine" stated Oliver; I was beginning to get worried, what the hell is wrong with me!
"And I thought you said you wouldn't pry any longer if I was sure I was fine, which I thought I was and still am, so you have no reason to pry any longer" I explained. I saw Oliver give me a confused look, before replying.
"Ah, but you're not ok, you are still being sick, which does in fact give me reason to pry" he said. I sighed and gave up on him. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went to find Elizabeth or Will; surely they'd have one of the twins to cuddle up to.
I searched the deck, finding no one but Oliver, Anamaria and Gibbs. I looked in the galley, the cabins, and even the brig, but no sign of Elizabeth or Will.
I went back on deck and took at moment to look at the sky; it was still a clear sunny day so I doubt there'd be any storms yet.
I scanned the sails and the crows nest and was pleased when I saw Will sitting in it. I climbed up the rigging and heaved myself up and sat down next to Will. He looked at me and then looked back out to the Black Pearl.
"Are you ok?" Will asked me "I saw you throwing up just then" I looked at him, before looking at the figure belonging to Dad on the Pearl, he had his hat on his head as always, and his coat was lazily drooped over a barrel next to him.
"I'm fine" I said, how many times was I going to say that today! "Just feeling a little bit sick is all"
"Right" Will said, he sounded unconvinced.
"You know something don't you?" I asked, I looked at him and saw he had a small grin on his face.
"I might do" he said
"What?" I asked, nudging him slightly with my elbow.
"Go ask Elizabeth, she'll know more than me" he replied, I took his advice and swung down, landing on the deck elegantly.
I searched the ship once more and just when I was about to give up trying to find Elizabeth, I came across the store room. I was curious as to what Oliver had in supplies, so I went in. My eyes scanned the room when they came across something rather strange. A pair of boots and some legs to go with them. I let my eyes wander and found Elizabeth's kind face staring back at me.
"You ok?" she asked
"Yes" replied, I sat down next to her. "And no" I added. She looked at me curiously before speaking.
"And no?" she asked.
"yes, you see, today I've been sick twice, and its only the morning, I feel fine now" I explained.
"Only in the mornings…" Elizabeth said meaningfully.
"Will said to ask you, he said you'll know more than him, what did he mean?"
"oh Will would say that" said Elizabeth, half chuckling to herself "tell me Lily, did you and Oliver uhh…have...did you…uhh…do it, by any chance, recently?" she asked.
"Yes, uhh, the other night I think, oh and last night" I said, hoping for some answers.
Elizabeth looked at me, she was smiling. "Lily, I don't know if you're going to like this or not but I think your with child"
please review! this was a really difficult chapter to write and i'd love to know what you thought about it.
