Chapter 6: Jealousy and Promises

It was finally evening, Charlotte eagerly awaited for her husband to arrive home. She looked out the window of her son's nursery when she heard a carriage. Charlotte smiled to herself, as she saw get out of the carriage. After, she turned to the white crib in the room, and looked down at the beautiful child laying there with his piercing and adorable green eyes looking up at her.

"Your father has just arrived my dear Jude, and I am sure he would like to see you". Charlotte picked up baby Jude, who smiled at his mummy.

Beckett was just coming through the door when he noticed Charlotte descending the stairs with baby Jude in her arms.

"Good evening darling". Beckett greeted as he went over to her.

"Good evening". Charlotte kissed him lightly.

"Ah, well good evening my dear Jude". Beckett caressed Jude's cheek.

"How was your day"? Charlotte asked

"Long and most exhausting, but I am close to reaching my ultimate goal, my dear". replied Beckett

"That is good to hear".

"Yes, I am most certainly doing this for you, dear Jude...my pride and joy". Beckett kissed the top of Jude's head and spoke to him. "You my son will inherit eveything...my legacy".

"Yes and I am sure Jude will be as successful". Charlotte smiled. Lydia their maid, entered the parlor.

"Madame, my lord dinner is ready and it is master Jude's bedtime".

"Yes of course, good night my son". Beckett bid good night to his heir. Charlotte kissed Jude good night and handed Jude over to Lydia.

"Shall we". Charlotte said.

"Of course". replied Beckett, and led Charlotte to the dinning room.


Once settled at the dinning hall, Beckett and Charlotte wined and dined on fine roast beef.

"Charlotte my dear, I have some news for you". Beckett said

"What is it"?

"We will be going on the voyage to meet with the flying dutchman".

"When"? Charlotte asked curiously

"After Dutchess Norrington gives birth to her second child". replied Beckett waiting to see what kind of reaction Charlotte would take and also trying to hide his rage.

"Dutchess Norrington is...is with child"? Charlotte almost choked on the piece of beef she had put in her mouth a while ago. She is to have another child! Charlotte thought to herself, she was enraged, but hid it from Beckett.

"Yes and I decided that you will come with me". Beckett sounded demanding. Charlotte already knew why he demanded that she will accompany him. It would certainly be a very long voyage if Charlotte did not go.

"Very well". Charlotte replied cooly and took a sip of her wine. She tired to be calm and cool. God help me if I have to be on the same ship with Isabella!


James's mood changed after he left Beckett's office and pondered everything. He will be able to be with Isabella during the course of her preganacy. Thank heavens! He was very happy to give her this news, although he was still fuming inside after his talk with Beckett.

"Isabella, I have some news for you". James put away his reports in his desk and went to join Isabella by the sofa.

"What is it darling"? Isabella closed her book and set it aside.

"Well, Lord Beckett summoned me into his office and told me he will postpone the voyage until after you give birth to our child". James put his hand over her small bump.

"That's great, but why do you want to wait for me"?

"I thought you wanted me to be with you during this pregnancy". James replied confused.

"No. no...I do want you to be here, of course I do. But why does he need to wait for me to go on this voyage, he is well capable of going himself".

"He wants me to go...he needs my skills. And he also wants to grant me this considering I brought him the heart od Davy Jones. He wants you to come on this voyage ...to keep Dutchess Beckett company". James was somewhat afraid of what kind of reaction Isabella might have.

"Absolutely not! I am not keeping that cold sniveling woman company...no James...no! I will only go to make sure nothing happens to you". Isabella gently pushed his hand away and stood to walk over the large windows of James's study.

James sighed and walked over to Isabella, standing behind her...once again wrapping his hand around her bump. "Nothing will happen to me...I promise". he whispered in her ear, and began to plant kisses on her neck.

"I am still going. I do not trust Beckett at all, I am sure he will try to do something, I cannot afford to take that risk". Isabella replied

"I love you too much to leave you". James whispered ignoring what she said about Beckett...he could care less about that vile man!

"And that is why I will be going...to make sure you keep that promise. I love you James". Isabella leaned her head back on his chest as he leaned in to kiss her. Praying that he will be able to keep this promise...
