Baby on Board

I'm sorry for drawing it out. This story is gonna be finishing in like three or four chapters so you have been told.

(Lily's POV)

Again I say thank god for grabbing a couple of months worth of supplies. We had been sailing for like a week now. I may be new with the goddess powers but I know that there is something wrong with me right now. I've been feeling sick all day and it was getting annoying. There must be some reason behind it if only I could think of it…

The tradition is going to be broken then.

Ooooh! Maybe I just thought of it. Wow, that was a head rush. Suddenly everything from that meeting with Grandma and Grandpa came rushing back. So fast actually, I fell over.

"Are you ok?" Isabelle asked.

"Yeah, fine." I said. "Can you get Gibson for me? He's the closest thing to a doctor we have on this ship."

"Yeah, sure." Isabelle said. "Maybe you should lie down for a while. You don't look too good."

"We have just spent about thirteen hours underwater…of course I don't look good, trying to keep you lot alive." I said. Isabelle stuck her tongue out at me. I went to my cabin and lied down…well, sorta. I sat against the headboard.

"What seems to be the problem, lass?" Gibson asked, coming into the cabin a few minutes later.

"Nauseous." I said. Gibson raised an eyebrow and sat down next to me. "I know what's wrong but I can't figure out how it went so quickly."

"How what went so quickly?" Gibson asked. I told him what I knew and he stared at me with wide eyes.

"Alright, stop. You're scaring me." I said.

"Apologies." Gibson said. "How are you sure? You've not had enough time to do so and find out."

"Goddess abilities?" I suggested.

"Perhaps…but why would it be speeding along?" Gibson asked.

"It would have to if I ever want to see." I said. Gibson raised both his eyebrows this time. I sighed. "Promise you won't tell anyone. Not Jaden, not Andrew, not mommy and daddy, and please not Jarrett. No one!"

"What is it?" Gibson asked.

"Promise me first." I said.

"I promise not to tell." Gibson said. I told him about the meeting with my grandparents and he again stared at me with wide eyes. "Lass…I can't keep that from your father."

"You have to." I said. I blinked and tears ran down my cheeks. "I'm resigned to it, I know it's going to happen and I accept it. But I won't be able to stand it if everyone else knew. I don't want them to be sad. I never want them to be sad. Which is why you can't tell them!"

"It's one hell of a secret you're asking me to keep." Gibson said.

"Please Gibson." I said.

"Aye, I'll do it." Gibson said, sighing. I smiled at him. "How do you plan on hiding the first of your news?"

"If this thing goes any faster, I won't have to." I said.

"At least pop on over to your parents and tell your mother." Gibson said.

"And have daddy pop with me back over and kill someone?" I asked. "No bloody likely. She'll find out along with everyone else." I wiped the tears off my face.

"You Sparrows…" Gibson said, shaking his head. I laughed. "Get some rest, lass. You're going to need plenty of it." He left me alone in the cabin.

(Isabelle's POV)

"So? Was I right?" I asked, leaning against the wall next to the door and catching Gibson as he left Lily's cabin.

"Aye, you were right." Gibson said. I squealed. Gibson rolled his eyes and walked away.

"What are you so happy about?" Roselyn asked, walking over with Tara.

"Just learning that I'm right." I said.

"About what?" Tara asked.

"Can't tell you." I said.

"Oh come on!" Both of them said. I shook my head.

"What's Issy so thrilled about?" Andrew asked.

"She won't say." Roselyn said.

"Won't say what?" Jaden asked walking over with…Jarrett!!

"Are you two…friends?" I asked. Jaden looked at Jarrett and instantly shook his head. "You two have been talking!"

"Andrew, make her stop." Jaden said.

"Aww! And now you don't hate him anymore." I said.

"I get enough goddess mind reading from Lily…I don't need goddess-helper mind reading from you." Jaden said.

"Least you're not trying to kill him." Tara said.

"Good thing too." I said.

"Why?" Everyone asked.

"No reason." I said. Tara and Roselyn groaned.

"What do you know that we don't know?" Jarrett asked.

"Fire is hot." I said. Everyone stared at me. I walked away and went up to where Barbossa was steering.

"So what is it?" Barbossa asked, leaning on the wheel.

"Why should I tell you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Won't take me long to figure it out." Barbossa said.

"True." I said.

"The young Sparrow lass is…" Barbossa said, glancing down at my stomach then looking straight down to where Lily's cabin was.

"If I answer truthfully will you tell anyone?" I asked.

"Now who do I talk to apart from her?" Barbossa asked.

"True again." I said, nodding. "Yes."

"It's happening rather quickly though." Barbossa said.

"With her being a goddess, anything is likely to happen." I said. This time Barbossa nodded. "Where are we going?"

"End of the Earth." Barbossa said.

"Yes I know that but…how will we know?" I asked.

"I don't think we'll hit the end. We'll likely wake IT up before we get there." Barbossa said.

"Leviathan." I said. Barbossa nodded again. I took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

(Jaden's POV)

"What the hell could they be hiding?" I asked, looking at Andrew and Jarrett.

"I dunno but by the looks of it that Barbossa man knows." Jarrett said.

"Great, just bloody great." I said.

"Maybe we're not supposed to know yet." Andrew said. I glared at him. I should know this stuff. If it involves my sister in anyway, I want to know. I turned my eyes to Jarrett and he successfully avoided my gaze. There was something he was hiding from me but I don't think it was as big as this. Or maybe it is. I frowned slightly, trying to figure out what it could be.

"Jaden…" Jarrett said. "Lily's out." I turned my attention to my sister as she came out of her cabin.

"Oy!! Everyone! I have an announcement so haul your asses over here!" Lily shouted. I looked at the boys and we all walked over, standing with Tara, Roselyn and Isabelle (who had left Barbossa to come join us).

"What's the matter, Lil?" I asked.

"I've been doing some thinking." Lily said. At this she looked at Gibson. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed this. "And I've come to the conclusion that I should do some job appointing."

"Job appointing?" Andrew asked.

"Any man, or woman, who falls behind gets left behind." Lily said. Our whole little group all stiffened. "Don't worry, that's not what I'm getting at. I just want all of you to know that should anything happen to me then my brother is captain and Andrew remains as first mate. I don't want battles for any roles and I don't want people upset about anything."

"Lily?" Jarrett asked. I looked at him. He looked very confused as if nothing my sister had just said made sense.

"We will make a stop so that the others can catch up and from then on we sail side-by-side." Lily said. Again, she looked at Gibson. I looked at him as well to see him looking as if he was trying to restrain himself. "No matter what the outcome, I want no one to be sad." Ok now that was just downright confusing. What the bloody hell was she talking about?

It didn't take long after Lily made us stop so that mum and dad could catch up. She gave them the same speech, altered slightly, and dad looked as if his brain had stopped as if it didn't want to comprehend what she was saying. From then on we did what she said and sailed side-by-side towards the End of the Earth.

The next morning was pouring down rain but we could still see the ship sailing along behind us. Amazing how they didn't have Lily helping them and managed to get through everything. We probably made it easier for them. I leaned on the wheel and watched Lily talking with Isabelle and Barbossa near the front of the ship. I had no hopes of hearing them. A few minutes later Jarrett approached them and Lily waved off Isabelle and Barbossa. She said something to Jarrett and he stared at her. She put her hand up as he started to smile and said something else. Jarrett didn't do anything for a while but finally nodded and Lily looked grateful.

"There's no use spying, lad. You ain't learning nothing." I jumped away from the wheel as Barbossa stood right next to me. "Best not to try."

"What do you all know?" I asked.

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west and you are far too inside your sister's business." Barbossa said. I glared at him. "You'll not be getting anything out of me, lad so don't even bother." He lowered his eyes to something and I jumped as he suddenly shouted. "MISS SPARROW!! WHERE TO?"

"Keep straight. You know that!" Lily called. I felt like strangling something. I turned around and looked at the ship next to us. I walked over to the rail and it was barely ten seconds before mum mirrored me.

"What's the matter, sweetie?" She asked.

"Do you know anything of what's going on?" I asked.

"I don't think so." Mum said. "Why? Is Lily keeping secrets?"

"Everyone is!" I said. "Lily, Issy, Barbossa, Gibson…and I betcha even now Jarrett is."

"It wouldn't be the first time Lily's hidden something from you." Mum said.

"I know." I said. "But I don't like it."

"Deal with it." Mum said. "She's not going to tell you everything. You're a boy and her brother."

"But you and Uncle Will…" I said.

"Don't tell secrets." Mum said. "Also didn't know each other at that age."

"Mum, you were a year older then us when you met him." I said.

"Exactly." Mum said. I rolled my eyes. "Honey, you just have to trust that she'll tell you when the time comes." I sighed and nodded.

(Lily's POV)

"You're hiding something else though." Jarrett said. "This can't possibly be the reason why you mentioned the job switches."

"Aye, there's something else." I said.

"What is it?" Jarrett asked.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." I said. Jarrett looked as if he wanted to argue but he just sighed and nodded. "You'll be there though…to help out and take care?"

"Of course." Jarrett said. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Neither of us actually had it for the first few years of our lives." I said. "Just don't want the same to happen again."

"I'll be there." Jarrett said. "For as long as I'm needed and even beyond then." I smiled at him. "I love you, Lily."

"I love you too." I said, and meant it. I loved this man more then anything and it was going to be painful to do what was to come.

"How much longer do you think then?" Jarrett asked.

"Oh I think it'll be soon." I said. "I already feel much farther then should be. It won't be long until it shows and then…" Jarrett grinned and nodded.

"It'll be amazing…you'll be amazing." He said. He put his arms around me and I smiled but once my face was out of his sight, I lost my sunny look. It returned once he pulled away and then we talked about other things, such as the reason behind waking the Leviathan.

This would have been up a few days ago but my goddamn modem thing got fried and so I couldn't connect to the internet. Oh, and if you can't figure out what's gonna happen next chapter…then there's something wrong with you. I will figure out a reason next chapter I swear to god!!!!
