Elizabeth's eyes fluttered open and she blinked as she stretched her arms over her head.

"Mornin..."

She looked over to Jack who was sitting in a chair beside the bed holding

their son.

"Morning.." she said going to sit up but was stopped by a weight on her chest. She

looked down to see Christine curled up against her asleep.

"Gibbs brought her in 'bout an hour after you passed out. She was worried 'bout you. I

was to. You've been out now for a whole day."

"A whole day?" she asked sitting up as she carefully moved Christine to the side of the

bed.

Jack nodded as he handed her their son and watched in awe as she revealed her breast and

the baby started suckling.

"What? It's not like you haven't seen me breast-feed before." She said as she looked from

the baby to Jack only to find Jack passed out from staying up the whole time she slept.

((((((((((ONE YEAR LATER))))))))))

Elizabeth smiled as she put baby Jack into the crib befoe placing a soft kiss on his

forehead. She looked over to the small bed off to the side of her and Jack's bed

in the cabin to Christine who was fast asleep.

"They're both asleep?.." Jack asked wrapping his arms around her middle.

"Yes...I can't believe Jack is already a year old."

"What about Gibbs? Can you believe him and Katherine are gonna have a little one?"

Elizabeth smiled at the thought of the older man. She always thought of him as a second

father, but she missed him. When he found out Katherine was pregnant he left his post

as Jack's first mate.

She shook her head and moved towards the bed to lie next to Jack who had already

laid down.

"I'm happy for him..." She said quietly laying her head on Jack's chest. "Though it is a bit

surprising."
"Luv...I have seen many things in my life and I have never been surprised by anything."

"I bet I could surprise you." Elizabeth said wearing a smirk to match his.

"You could try luv..."

She sat up and looked at him.

"I'm pregnant."

Jack looked up at her and smiled.

"I'm not surprised. You're insatiable.."

"You didn't let me finish..."

"Well luv, by all means finish..."

"I'm pregnant with twins."
Jack looked at her with wide eyes and his mouth agape.

"Say something.." Elizabeth said nervously.

"I...I'm surprised."

Elizabeth laughed and laid her head back down on his chest.

"Told you I could surprise you."

"That you did luv. That you did." he said while placing a kiss on her head while pulling her

closer.

"I love you, Elizabth."

"I love you too, Jack."
