On Time for Trouble

(A.K.A. Three Weddings and a Baby)

I still haven't seen the third movie and now it seems that the longer I wait, the more I don't want to see it. Trust me I would love to but I just don't think I'll be impressed by it. After everything I've heard about it…I dunno. Anyways, on with the story.

(Lily's POV)

I like the idea of going through pregnancy fast but this was absurd!! Roselyn and Tara figured it out the next day and the day after that, everyone else knew because I was actually showing now!! Good god!! To top it off, Tomas' parrot flew over and Jaden used it to tell our parents. A few minutes after that, mom and dad appeared on deck and dad looked ready to kill Jarrett. It took a lot of time to convince him that he had been constantly with me up until about last month so it was nearly impossible for me to have been in a normal pregnancy. It took even longer for to convince him not to kill Jarrett. Once I brought up the whole 'wanting the baby to have a father' thing, he instantly stopped any attempts. He may not have been thrilled with the idea but I knew that he didn't want his grandchild to have to grow up the way Jaden and I did.

"Ok so…how is this working?" Isabelle asked, the day after the fiasco.

"I honestly don't know." I said, watching her move her hand around on my stomach. God the thing was huge! Ok so it wasn't huge but it was still pretty big. "It's been like…two weeks now? And I look about…seven or eight months."

"You're gonna burst soon, dear." Isabelle said.

"This isn't fair." I whined.

"Look on the plus side…it'll probably be a quick birth and stuff." Isabelle said.

"No it's not that…I have nothing for this child to wear or use or anything!" I said. Isabelle laughed.

"I'm pretty sure one of us girls could alter a few of those old clothes of yours." Isabelle said. "Or you could do some goddess power stuff to them and…are you ok?"

"Yeah, fine." I said, faking a smile that convinced her. The idea of me doing anything but carrying and birthing this child was just that…an idea. It wasn't going to happen. There's a reason why people rarely see goddesses…

"You're gonna have everyone on high alert you know that." Jarrett said, coming into the cabin that was quickly becoming his as well as mine now.

"Why?" I asked, leaning against the headboard.

"Wondering when baby there is gonna make it's grand entrance." Jarrett said. I giggled as he sat down with me. "Guess I should tell you now that I have absolutely no experience whatsoever with babies."

"Don't worry. My parents, Aunt and Uncle will help out." I said. "So will everyone else. You're in good hands and so is little missy in here."

"Missy?" Jarrett asked.

"Family tradition." I said. "At a certain age, every girl from my mom's side can have the exact child she wants. Of course that age is eighteen, not sixteen, but the rules were stretched for me."

"And you want a girl?" Jarrett asked.

"Would you rather a boy?" I asked.

"Actually…no." Jarrett said. "I want something to remind me of you." I frowned at that and at the look on his face.

"Did Gibson talk to you?" I asked.

"Uh…no." Jarrett said.

"Liar." I said.

"He didn't say anything about what's going on." Jarrett said. "Just to cherish the time we have together." I felt ready to cry. Goddamn emotions! Jarrett kissed me for a few seconds. "I love you Lily Sparrow."

"I…" I said. "I want to marry you."

"What?" Jarrett asked.

"By pirate law, a captain of a ship can perform a marriage." I said. "I'm a captain…" Jarrett looked at me and then smiled. "Oh…I have a great plan."

Twenty minutes later I had talked my brother and cousin into committing. It was hilarious. If it weren't for Tara and Roselyn, I bet they wouldn't have done anything. So now the three sets of couples all stood on the deck, Barbossa steering and more then likely watching.

"Ok so let's do this all quickly." I said. "Now…boys…do you take the girls to be your wives?"

"I do." Jarrett said.

"Yeah, me too." Andrew said.

"Um…sure." Jaden said.

"Ok…girls, same things." I said. "I do."

"Me too." Tara said, pinching Jaden.

"Same." Roselyn said. It was amusing that someone like shy Tara was with my brother who was like a miniature dad and outgoing Roselyn was with my cousin who was so much like his father.

I guess opposites attract.

"Ok now…" I said. "Tara and Jaden get first shot at being chained together and…"

"What?" Everyone asked.

"Well…that's what dad did to Grandpa Bill and that's how we got Uncle Will." I said.

"How do you even know that?" Andrew asked.

"Mum tells me everything." I said. Tara was so red, she looked as if she had gotten sunburn. I was amazed at how she had gone from a white-as-a-ghost child to someone with a slightly brown skin tone in just a few weeks. "So off you two go."

"Well when do we get to go?" Roselyn asked.

"After them." I said.

"That's fine." Andrew said, before Roselyn could say anything. She glared at him lightly. Jaden actually managed to convince Tara to go off into their cabin for a while. I really am amazed at how many cabins we've managed to get on this ship (ok not really since it's mostly helped out by magnificent powers such as my own…Heehee).

"Ow! Kicking…kicking is painful!" I said, slapping my hand onto my stomach. Roselyn and Isabelle squealed and rushed at me, pushing my hand out of the way and putting their own on my stomach.

"Wow…that is so weird!" Isabelle said. I laughed. I looked over to where mom and dad were talking on their ship next to us. I walked over to the rail and whistled at them. They both looked at me. Mom said one more thing to dad before they walked over to their rail.

"Hi honey. What's the matter?" Mom asked.

"Nothing…just felt like talking." I said. "Is the kicking usually like this?"

"Andrew, Tomas and Isabelle weren't too bad." Dad said.

"You and Jaden kicked up a storm." Mom said. "Especially when you guys were mad at me…like when I dropped my necklace into the water." I smiled as she played with said necklace.

(Isabelle's POV)

I watched Lily talk with her parents. She made things seem almost as if we weren't sailing towards some great unknown. I looked at Gibson. There was something I couldn't quite pick up, even though I was using a lot of my powers to figure it out. I could tell he knew what it was though. He was watching Lily with a smile but it seemed very sad.

"Gibson…a word please." I said. He looked at me, startled a bit, but walked over.

"Aye?" Gibson asked.

"What do you know about my cousin?" I asked. "I can't figure it out. There's something and whatever it is, you know it and it's sad."

"Aye…I know it." Gibson said. "But she made me promise not to tell."

"Gibson please…" I said. "I really need to know this."

"Issy!" Lily said, walking over to us. "I need to talk to you two." Gibson and I looked at each other. "I think it's time."

(Third Person POV)

Isabelle and Gibson were clearly amazed. They had gone with Lily into her cabin and about twenty minutes later there was a baby with them. Neither of them asked but Isabelle was pretty sure that Lily had magically forced the child's birth because there was something coming.

"What are you gonna name her?" Gibson asked.

"I don't know." Lily said. "I think everyone else needs an input on the name."

"Will she have powers?" Isabelle asked.

"Oh undoubtedly." Lily said. "I'm not quite sure about the goddess powers but she will definitely have Calypso powers." The baby cooed up at it's mother. "Issy do you wanna get everyone in here for me??"

"Uh…sure." Isabelle said. She left the cabin and Lily looked at Gibson.

"Are you going to tell them?" Gibson asked.

"I will tell my parents and Issy." Lily said, after a pause in which she just looked down at her daughter.

"Why not the others?" Gibson asked.

"My parents and Issy will keep everyone happy." Lily said. "And so will baby here." She gently brushed her fingers along the child's cheek. "I don't want anyone to be sad."

"They'll be sad no matter what, lass." Gibson said.

"Daddy's right…you are like Gibbs." Lily said. "Never met him…but from what I've heard, and I've heard a lot, you could practically be his double." Gibson smiled and looked at the baby. "You know you can touch her right? She's not going to dissolve." This time the old man laughed and gently placed a finger onto the baby's forehead.

"Don't want to get her messy." Gibson said. Lily laughed.

Barely five minutes later, she no longer held her child. She felt sorry for it as the baby was passed around between family members and friends…she had yet to be placed into her father's arms though.

"You're treating her like a bottle of rum." Lily said, finally.

"Nonsense." Jack said.

"Ok apart from put her to your mouth and…I'm going to stop there because that would sound wrong." Lily said.

"Jarrett hasn't held her yet." Jaden, of all people, spoke up. Lily smiled at her brother as the baby was finally handed over to the father.

"We have a very important issue to talk about." She said. Everyone looked at her. "The baby needs a name. No one spoke for a while, everyone thinking.

"She was born on the eve of very possible destruction." Jack said. "Sorta seems fitting to name her…Eve." The baby cooed, as if agreeing.

"Always said you were smart." Madison said.

"You're brother is the only Turner that never believed that." Jack said, glaring at his brother-in-law. Lily smiled at her parents. "We have something else to talk about."

"Aye?" Lily asked.

"The triple marriage that took place on this deck earlier." Jack said. Lily just continued to smile as she went over to Jarrett and hugged him and Eve.

Dun, dun, dun…Jack the prophet!!! Next chapter…not only will Eve be a toddler…but it could either be the last chapter or the second last chapter. And then no more!!!! This trilogy will end as a trilogy!!! I love Jack and Madison and Lily and everyone else but enough of them already!!!! I will work on my other stories and then maybe stick Jack with someone else in another story.
