The next morning, I woke up with my head against the soft, feathery pillows. I turned to see Cutler sleeping beside me, but he was not there. I looked up from behind my ever growing stomach, and saw him standing in front of the dresser, wearing only the pants he went to bed in, his dirty blonde hair curling slightly. He gathered his underclothes from the dresser and the rest of his clothes from the closet beside our canopy bed, where I was still laying. I pushed myself off the bed.

"Good morning honey," I said sleepily as I walked past him, planting a kiss on his bare shoulder. He turned around and gave my lips a quick peck before turning around again to pick out his jacket. I started walking over towards the balcony, and opened it's curtains, and saw that the sun was just barley over the horizon. I sighed, not wanting to be up this early.

"Cutler, honey!" I said, as I went back to bed, and lay down. "Why are you up this early? Work doesn't start for another hour or two."

"Yes, I know," He said, walking over towards me. "I have recently received word that the Interceptor and the Dauntless are coming back in just a few hours, and so I need to help get everything ready for them."

I was awake now. "James, Antoinette, Rayanna, and Elizabeth are all coming home today!?!" I flung the covers off of myself, and pulled Cutler onto me, surprising him with a very seductive kiss. Another one the mood swings I had been going through. Seconds after we broke apart, a servant came in.

"Lord Beckett," He said snootily, "your bath is drawn."

"Thank-you," Cutler said as he gathered his clothes and walked into the bathroom. I followed him, lust filling every inch of my body.

As he shut the door to the bathroom, I quietly opened it, and saw him stick his finger through the bubbles to check to see if his bathwater was just right. Apparently it was.Just before he started to undress, I snuck up behind him, and gave him a neck masage. I planted some kisses on his neck.

"I'm sorry, Heather, he said, turning back to me. "You will have my attention tonight, but I'm very busy right now, and I need to finish getting ready, or I'll be late for work again."

"Fine!" I said, angry that I could not have his lips against mine right then and there..

Cutler became agitated, but kept his cool, reminding himself that I was probably just going through another mood swing due to the pregnancy. "Heather, I promise. You will have me tonight, and you will enjoy yourself. I guarantee it."

I thought for a second. "Okay!" I said merrily. I walked beside him to get my brush. I found it, and I passed him as he dipped a foot into the bathtub. I could not contain my lust, but reminded myself that I would have him later that night. As I 'casually' walked by him, I lightly pinched his bum. He braced himself, and smiled. As I was walking back towards the door to our bedroom, I felt someone pinch my own bum. I turned around to see Cutler, who had just settled into the bathwater. He noticed me smiling at him, and winked at me. All I could do was laugh.

That afternoon

I was taking a walk around the streets of Port Royal, to see the sights and people, and to also get some fresh air and exercise. As I was down by the fort, I saw tons of people over by the docks. I remembered what Cutler had said about The Interceptor and Dauntless returning that day, and so I went down to stand with the people and watch my friends and family return.

After 10 minuets of waiting, The Dauntless sailed up to the docks, and began unloading its passengers. The first ones off were James and Antoinette, who were arm in arm. Then came Rayanna and Elizabeth, talking about who knows what. As Elizabeth went off to find her friends in the crowd, I embraced my brother and friends in hugs. Everyone was crying, especially me. After we finished up our 'I missed you's, Antoinette instantly asked, "Are the rumors true, Heather? Are you really having twins?"

I could feel everyone starting at me. I loved to have a new audience! I smiled and looked at them. "Yes!"

Both Rayanna and Antoinette gave whoops of joy, and began hugging me and patting my stomach. James grinned at me. He congratulated me, gave me a hug and then gave the twins a few light pats. I just then realized that that was the first time that he had touched them since the day I announced that I was pregnant.

"How did Lord Beckett react when you told him that you two were having twins?" Rayanna asked me. I looked over her shoulder, and saw Cutler making his way over to us, with Mercer at his side. Cutler walked up to us, said his hellos, and then put an arm around my shoulder. "I trust that Heather's here's told you that we're having twins this spring."

"Yes and congratulations!" Rayanna said, shaking Cutler's hand. "Boy, Lord Beckett, when you do something, you really do it, huh?!?!" Cutler tried not to laugh, and blushed a little. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mercer smile a little at Rayanna. I remembered what he had told me the other night. I winked at him, showing that his secret was safe with me.

"I'm sorry to cut things short," Cutler said, "But Mercer and I have to continue our work. I trust I will see you all later. We have much catching up to do."

"Oh, okay," I sadly sighed. "I love you, sweetie."

"I love you too, Heather," Cutler said as he gave me a kiss. He then bent down and kissed my belly twice. I laughed, and rubbed the side of my tummy, trying to wake the twins up. "Say, 'bye bye daddy!'" I cooed to the twins. Cutler placed his hand over my belly button, which was beginning to pop out, and waited a few seconds. One of the twins gave his hand a kick, and the other, whom was on the other side, gave a little punch. Cutler and I both cooed at the twins.

"That'll be you and I someday," Antoinette whispered to James, clutching his hand tightly.

After Cutler and Mercer had both left, I said to everyone, "Come here! Come here, I want you all to feel!" They all did as I told them to do, and soon, the twins were giving their uncle's and aunts' hands kicks and punches. I was glad that we were all together again.
