Chapter 2: Hoping to fullfill a void
"Good to see you again Admiral Norrington, Dutchess Norrington". Charlotte greeted as she smiled pridefully at the reaction Isabella had when Beckett introduced their son.
"Congratulations...to the both of you". James managed to say taking notice of Isabella's reaction, who was completely motionless.
"Thank you, now Admiral I wish to discuss with you urgent matters, will see me in my office"? Beckett turned to James
"Yes, I will be right there". James replied. He led Isabella and Robin back to the carriage. Isabella was completely shocked, she did not move or say anything."I will see you later tonight darling."
"Yes of course". replied Isabella staring out the window, not turning to see him.
"Good bye father". Robin spoke up and kissed her father's cheek. James kissed her back.
"See you later tonight". James smiled at Robin and took one last look at Isabella who was still not looking his direction. He shut the carriage door and headed to Lord Beckett's office.
" As you now know, I have the King's response to this piracy matter." Beckett said cooly pouring himself a drink.
"And what is it"? James asked just as cooly.
"We will start sending people to the gallows tomorrow morning. After we complete the task, I want to start course to the Flying Dutchman." Beckett turned to sit down at his desk.
"Very well, when will we start our voyage"? James asked, hoping at least eleven months after the baby is born.
"I do not know exactly when, but it will be soon. We cannot afford to waist time." replied Beckett
"Yes, well I will be awaiting your oders to start to prepare an armada".
"And when we do go on this voyage, I do not wish to take long...I cannot leave my wife and son." Beckett just had to rub it in. Having such pride knowing he had a son, and James did not.
"I do not wish to extend this voyage either...because Isabella is with child". James replied smugly back. Beckett's smile just wiped off his face. Dam! He can never compete with James. "Good day Lord Beckett". James turned and left the office, knowing he hit Beckett where it hurt.
Beckett just sat there...she is to have another child of his. After so many months of marriage, a part of him still lusts over Isabella. A part of him never got over her...the fact that he never got to have Isabella still lingered...
As soon as Isabella arrived home, she told Estrella to watch over Robin, and ordered that no one disturbs her. Once in her apartments Isabella began to sob.
How could this happen? Why must Charlotte win at everything now...she gave him a son. Isabella is grateful to have such a healthy girl, that will certainly make waves in the english and french courts. But a part of Isabella wants to so badly have a son...to somehow fullfill that void in how society looks at her. To give James an heir, a son with his qualities and charm. Now she prays that this little baby in her womb will be that son she wishes to have...
