Thank you "NorringtonLover" and "Zillac" and "Goody Goody GumDrop 06" and the rest of everyone for reviewing and reading I love all you guys!
This quote from John Mayer's "Belief" goes along with the story so I thought I would share it with ya.-Robin
Quote- belief is a beautiful armor
but makes for the heaviest sword
like punching underwater
you never can hit who you're trying for
At the moment after she said that I felt my water break.
"My water broke!"
Norrington stood at the door of his bedroom listening to his wife scream and yell out of him and her mother.
He fell back against the wall slid into onto the floor thinking about his own mother.
She was an angel!
His father James Norrington Senior was really angry and grumpy all the time.
Head of his own fleet in the navy. He only expected the best.
Flashback
"James!" James Norrington Senior boomed from his office.
"Y-Yes father," little six-year-old James Norrington whispered from the doorway.
"Sit down," Norrington Senior said quietly as he fumed through papers, "I want you to know a very important lesson for life son"
"Which is what father?" little Norrington asked curiously.
"The lesson of hard work," Norrington Senior said getting up and walking over to his son and kneeling to look him in the eye, "you are growing up into a great young man and you need to train for the navy"
"But father I'm not old enough," little Norrington said rising an eyebrow.
"I know but it doesn't hurt to train and learn because you know what that gives you?" Norrington Senior replied walking around the room admiring his office.
Little Norrington shook his head confused.
"It gives you knowledge that you have to work to get somewhere," Norrington Senior said boldly, "and to work and work to get somewhere and be someone"
"All right John dear, enough," a tiny voice boomed behind them.
It was Susan Norrington. The wife and mother.
"Hello Mommy," little Norrington said happily running over and hugging her.
"Hello my little Jamie," Susan chuckled kneeling and kissing him on the forehead, "Why don't you come with me for tea and cookies, okay?"
"Ok Mommy," little Norrington beamed as he ran out the door.
But, he stopped and leaned against the wall by his father's office when he heard his parents argue about him.
"Honestly John the boy is only six!" Susan cried standing face to face with her frowning husband, "I know you want him to do his best but wait when his a little older!"
"Susan dear he needs to learn at a young age," Norrington Senior sighed walking over to his desk and looking down at some papers, "We can't baby him forever"
"But we can't turn him into a monster like…like…" Susan stammered before biting her tongue as Norrington Senior finished her sentence.
"LIKE ME SUSAN!"
Little Norrington slid to the floor in tears.
He'd never heard his parents like this before.
"Yes dear like you!" Susan said bravely, "but I know you will try and change"
"Why?" Norrington Senior hissed, "It made me a better person by being this tough"
"Oh for who besides yourself!" Susan chocked through now flowing tears, "You need to learn about life because life isn't just the navy"
With that, Susan stormed out and down the hall and out to the garden where she saw her son crying his eyes out.
End Flashback
"I cried all night that night," Norrington thought angrily slamming his fists on the floor, "and then he went off to battle and got himself killed"
"James?" a tiny voice called from the bedroom door snapping him out of his thoughts.
"Yes is she alright?" Norrington said worriedly jumping up, "are they here?"
"No… not yet," Elizabeth sighed closing the door softly behind her, "are you okay?"
"Oh, yes thank you," Norrington stammered running his hand through his wig-free hair, "I guess I owe Robin and thanks for helping me break myself from wearing a wig"
"Yes," Elizabeth chuckled whacking him on the arm, "you look even better without it"
"Thank you Elizabeth," Norrington sighed and he walked down the hall, "do you think it will be a girl"
Rounding the corner arm in arm, Elizabeth laughed and replied sweetly, "all you got to do is believe and God will do the rest"
"Yes, belief always works"
