AN: Sorry it's late.

Gwen's POV

The next few days were the same. Trent didn't hunt anymore. He was working non stop on the boat. I was finding new ways to make fruit and fish more edible and failing. My birthday is in a matter of days but I could careless.

I am sitting on the beach fixing up some more clothes for the baby when I heard a loud crash. I looked up to see Trent throwing the wood around. His boat had fallen apart and is now just piles of wood and rope.

He was yelling and cursing and hitting the wood piles. Then he stopped and he just stood there. I couldn't take my eyes off him. Suddenly he started running to the jungle. He ran so fast I didn't have time to follow him or anything. I figure he just has to blow off steam so I let him run.

He came back latter and he didn't say much. I tried talking to him but he didn't say anything. In fact he didn't even act as if I was around. He only seemed to notice my existence was when we were sleeping and he snuggled against me.

Days latter and it was my birthday. I woke up and Trent was no where to be seen. I was really sad. For some reason he's avoiding me. He hasn't touched the boat, and we barely talk. What's going on?

I sat under a shady tree trying to think, but I couldn't. Thoughts of everything falling apart kept creeping into my mind.

"Happy Birthday Gwen." I turned around to see Trent standing behind me with a smile on his face for the first time this week. He was holding this big bulky thing that was covered with one of the blankets I made for the baby. In his other hand he had a small sack.

"What's that?" I asked pointing to both of the objects.

"Presents." He smiled putting them down. "I couldn't make a cake though." He joked. Then he handed me the palm sized sake. I opened it and it was a black pearl necklace. The pearl was gently woven into a rope that became the necklace.

"Trent, how did you? I mean where?" I was speechless. How did he find a pearl? How did he make it like this?

"It's something I thought you'd like." He said with that smile I've been missing. I hugged him and quickly kissed him before he told me to open the next one.

I quickly took the handmade blanket off and stared at it. It was made of wood, and reeds and rope, and didn't look like much. I had no idea what it was.

"Ummmm thank you?" I said sounding more like a question than anything. He laughed.

"Do you know what it is?" he asked. I blushed.

"No I don't." I admitted. Then he picked it up and flipped it upside down and it was clear what it was.

It wasn't clumps of word held together. It was an island made bassinet. My eyes started to water as I stared at the empty crib like structure.

"You were making blankets for the baby and I thought, 'if the baby comes he'll have blankets and stuff, but where will he sleep?' so I made this." He said. I threw my arms around him and he just held me close for a few minutes. "This is why I wasn't around this week. If I was you'd make me ruin the surprise." He said. I whipped my stupid tears and he helped me put the bassinet away in our little hut like structure. "But I hope we never have to use it." He said looking at it as it sat near our bed.
