Chapter 13

"What!" I gasped "but…but now isn't the time for me to pregnant! I told Oliver I didn't care when it happened, but that was before Clara said she was here for a reason…"

"She did?" asked Elizabeth, her smile fading into a frown.

"Yes, so putting a child in danger trying to get rid of Clara isn't what I wanted Elizabeth, I could loose it" I said, my mind was a blur, one minute I liked the idea of a baby but then I thought of the circumstances, I knew I couldn't get rid of the baby, well I could but it would hurt me in the process when someone hits me or I fall. What would Oliver say? I'm so confused!

"you'll be fine" Elizabeth said, as if reading my mind "the baby will also be fine, I carried twins for eight months on a pirate ship despite all the doubts I had and if I had the chance to, I wouldn't change a thing" she said, but then she looked like she was thinking about something. "Well…I wouldn't miss the morning sickness" she said. I giggled and stood up. I was about to tell Elizabeth I would go and tell Oliver, when she pulled me back down again.

"You said you and Clara had spoken to one another?" she asked, her brows were furrowed.

"Aye" I replied "I told her of when Dad and I first met her, what we did, and she thanked me and told me she was here for a reason" I explained

"She did?"

"aye, so I told Dad to watch his back, like I'm watching mine, she's up to something, I knew from the beginning I couldn't trust her but he's so blind to see it! There's no way I'm going to give up on this, Clara will be gone when we get to Tortuga and Dad will realise what he's doing to everyone, we should all be on the Pearl not Dad and Clara!" I said, Elizabeth nodded in agreement.

"He'll come round Lily, like you said, Clara has messed with his head and he doesn't know what he's doing" said Elizabeth

"Yeah I guess you're right" I replied. "Where are the twins?" I asked

"In the cabin, I put them down for a nap, I should probably go and check on them now" Elizabeth answered, she stood up, getting ready to go back up to the deck.

"Oh no, it's ok, do what you want Elizabeth, I'll go see to Jack and Lily" I said, Elizabeth sighed and sat back down, leaning back so her head was resting on the wall. I walked over to the door, before I turned around to face her again.

"Elizabeth?"

"Aye?"

"Why are you down here?" I asked

"I came here to think, have a bit of time to myself, think about things that have happened over the past few weeks" she explained. "I don't know why but I find that I can relax on my own in the hold on the Black Pearl and on this ship, its strange isn't it?" she asked me, I nodded and smiled, knowing what she meant, the crow's nest was just the same for me. I walked slowly back up to the deck, inattentively rubbing my stomach. It felt strange, just the thought of having another human growing inside of me; oddly enough, I felt the need to be with the twins. I wondered if they had a special bond with each other, being twins and all.

I came to the deck, grinning at Will who was speaking with Oliver at the helm; I hope he hadn't told Oliver just yet, I wanted to do it myself. I stepped inside the twin's cabin and walked over, quietly, to Jack's cot, which was nearest to me. I peeked over the rail of the cot and smiled at the sight of the sleeping baby. I picked him up, not really caring if I woke him up or not.

"Hello Jack" I cooed, he woke up at the sound of my voice, looking up at me, if I was correct I'd say he had annoyance in his eyes.

"Captain" he said, smiling up at me. I laughed at this; he really was turning out to be just like my father, only it was strange because they weren't blood related. I'll put it down to them both being called Jack for now.

Realising Jack had just said his first word; I picked up Lily quickly from her cot, waking her up unintentionally, and ran up to the deck, I rushed over to Will who was at the helm with Oliver. He took Jack off me and looked up at me, confused. By now Elizabeth was at his side, Oliver hurriedly came to mine.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked

"Your son just said his first word" I beamed

"Really!" Will exclaimed "wait a minute…I was trying to get him to talk for ages and all she did was pick was him up and he speaks! That's not fair" he said, though I knew he was joking.

"Will, Lily brings out the best in both of the children, she's a blessing to them she really is, now isn't the time to tease her just because you couldn't get Jack to say Dad" Elizabeth said, she looked at me and smiled "you have a way with children Lily" she said.

"What did he say?" asked Oliver, looking at me.

"He said captain" I replied "isn't that odd"

"How do you mean?" asked Anamaria from behind us all

"I mean because of Dad, you know how he always likes to be called captain, and when I called Jack, just Jack, he looked up at me and said captain, weird huh?"

"It is strange" said Oliver, "it's probably because Jack spent so much time with him before Clara came along"

"Yes that'll be why" said Will.

"Yeah" I replied. I moved Lily's blanket away from her face and saw her eyes searching for something. I was about to ask Elizabeth what her daughter was looking for, when her eyes landed on my own. Her eyes widened and she smiled at me, letting out a small giggle. I tickled her with my finger, feeling her squirm in my arm, I laughed to myself and knew this was what I wanted, a child of my own, and now I'm getting one. I remembered I hadn't told Oliver yet, so I gave Lily to Elizabeth, who looked at me knowingly, and motioned for Oliver to come with me.

"Lily?" he asked me as we got into his cabin, I sat him down on the chair at his desk and knelt down in front of him, my hands on his knees.

"Oliver" I replied, smiling up at him. "I don't think there's another quick way of telling you, and it may seem rushed, but like I said I have no objections to when it would happen and I'd have no regrets and I don't…" I began

"Lily what are you going on about?" Oliver asked me, his brows furrowed and I could see I was worrying him.

"I'm pregnant Oliver, isn't it wonderful, I'm expecting your child" I said, taking his hands and kissing them, I looked up at him; he had joy in his eyes but confusion on his face.

"What's the matter?" I asked him, slightly disappointed that he didn't seem as enthusiastic about it.

Nothing I'm overjoyed Lily, but…"

"But what"?

"But what about your father, and Clara, what will we do about them, your father will surely want to know, but on the other hand I don't think you'd want Clara knowing, and you know the fights you and her have, I don't think they'd be safe for the child growing inside of you, do you?" he said, taking my hands in his.

"I'll tell my father when he realises what he has thrown away for a revenge obsessed wench, and when I know that we are all back to normal, I don't want mixed feelings over this baby Oliver, I want everyone to be happy together about it, not father being happy on his ship on his own, with Clara sucking up to him, and us on this ship, ecstatic but sad that Dad cant be with us to enjoy it"

"I understand" Oliver said. "Lily this is wonderful, at least something good has come out of all this" he said, kissing me on the cheek.

"I know, it's a sign" I said

"A sign for what?"

"That things are on the up, things are going to get better, I can sense it Oliver"

"Oh Lily, you are my angel, I love you with all my heart, and I'll love our child just the same, I'll do anything for you" Oliver said, pulling me up as he stood, he pulled me into an embrace and held my stomach.

"Just wait until the pregnancy really gets going" I said

"How do you mean?"

"Well you're going to have to cope with mood swings, morning sickness, crying, tantrums, cravings, and all the stress that comes along with a pregnant woman" I explained.

"I'll manage" Oliver said, "If Will Turner can do it, so can I" he continued, with the same determination I saw in Will. They were very much alike, Oliver and Will, sometimes I wondered if they were related, but it was improbable, just like Dad says, nothings impossible, just improbable.

"I love you Oliver" I said. I held up my left hand to show him my wedding ring. "that's the reason why I'm wearing this, and I am proud to wear it" I held his hand and entwined my fingers with his, I sighed happily and looked into his eyes. "I don't know what I'd do without you" I said.

"I couldn't go on if I didn't have you Lily, you are my rock, and when things got bad when I was younger and I wished I was dead, thinking of that makes me shudder now when I think if I had killed myself I wouldn't have met you" he said. I smiled at him knowing that he was being truthful. At the moment everything in life was perfect for me, apart from one thing. Dad. I would make him see sense if it was the last thing I did, pregnant or not.
