Waves crashed as the ship landed itself to a dock. I jumped slightly as we halted, then pulled myself onto my feet. I had fallen asleep as we started to near the land, and was now tired… I sighed, letting out a brief yawn…

"What are we doing here?" I asked Elizabeth who stood next to me. She smirked.

"We're just re-loading some supplies, like food and water."

I nodded, not needing to know anymore. I understood. Standing on my tip-toes, I was still at least a foot and a half from being able to see past the ship walls. All that I could see out of was the door. Or exit if you will. I dangled my legs over the side, holding on tightly, as not to fall off.

I wasn't sure where my father was at the moment… I usually didn't know… not that it bothered me, I understood. He had things that he had to do, he couldn't deal with me twenty-four seven. Mist from the waves hit my toes; the chilly sensation was calm, and soothing.

As I looked behind me, my father came, patting my head. I giggled and got off the ground. I assumed to be the only one to realize it, but it was my birthday next week. I would be six, and much more mature than I am now, being merely five.

My long hair lay in thin braids. AnaMaria had tied it up for me. I was running out of things to do on the ship though… I wondered, maybe father would allow me to get off and look around when we hit land.

I was in doubt that anyone would mind, many of the pirates seemed to find me annoying anyway. But I didn't mind. It was actually understandable to me, I was only a kid, none of the adults wanted to spend that much time taking care of me. They had themselves to look after.

The ship halted to the land, a piece of dock that sat in the sea, leading us up. Some of the pirates stayed to the ship as some of them got off. I walked to the exit and stepped off with the others. Not bothering to ask permission.

I felt someone grab my hand before I was fully on my feet and off of the ship. My face lifted up to see my father.

"Hello." I happily said, struggling slightly for him to put me back down.

"What are you doing down here?" He asked, grinning slightly. The smile on my face lifted.

"I want to walk around." I said. Father nodded, putting me back down.

"Just don't get lost dear, okay?" He said. "And be back before nightfall, otherwise I'll have to make William go look for you."

"Will can't come look for me." I said. "He has to take care of Elizabeth."

"What are you talking about?" He asked in a 'What's the big deal?' tone.

"She's going to have a baby." I chuckled. "They know for sure now, but don't tell anyone, it's supposed to be a secret."

He nodded. Not looking at me anymore. That was when I started to think, should I have told him, or not? I know longer knew if I could trust my father…

Note: I'm sorry that this chapter is short. But I haven't updated in so long… if you want a longer chapter, send my more ideas. Remember: Elizabeth's baby still needs a full name. (A girl name, and a middle name, I'd like to thank ch3rrylipstick and soralover65 for helping me out. Thanks guys!!
