Recap: Arthur proposes to Iris and she accepts and she tells him that she is pregnant with their child and Arthur really overjoyed to become a father.
Two months went by and it was nearing the wedding date for Iris and Arthur. Iris raised her head from the railing of the ship as she panted a little. She rubbed her stomach a little as she turned around and she leaned against the railing. "God I hate this morning sickness," she muttered as she stood up a little as she ran her fingers through her hair as she saw Arthur walking over to her. "Hello my love how are you feeling?" he asked. "Not so well and I don't the water is helping me much with that," Iris said. "Don't worry my love we will soon be on land and you won't be feeling so bad," Arthur said. "Okay," Iris said as she smiled a little. Arthur smiled as well as he laid a hand on her stomach and Iris laid her hand over his. "I can't wait to meet our child," he said. Iris smiled a little as she pushed back some of her hair. "Same here my love," she said with a smile. Arthur smiled back as he kissed Iris. Iris kissed him back as she closed her eyes. Arthur closed his eyes as well as he pulled her close to him as she hugged him gently. A few minutes later Arthur pulled away as he opened his eyes and he looked at Iris and he smiled a little at her. Iris smiled back at him. "I love you my dear Iris," Arthur said. "I love you too my love," Iris said as she smiled happily feeling a little better. Arthur smiled back as he hugged Iris and she hugged him back. Three days went by and they had docked in Dublin, Ireland Iris's home town. Sean and Nadine were there as well along with a few family members from Iris's family and both Arthur and Iris smiled. The next day was the wedding day and Iris was with her sister and Nadine getting ready. "So ready to become a member of the Kirkland family?" Nadine asked as she got into the dress she was going to wear. "I guess so. I've been waiting for this for my whole life and I'm ready for this," Iris said as Nadine smiled a little. "Good," she said with a nod of her head. Sean knocked on the door as he opened it and he looked inside. "You lassies almost ready?" he asked. "We bridesmaids are," Nadine said as she referred to herself and Iris's sister. "I am as well," Iris said as she smiled a little. Sean grinned and nodded. "Excellent then. You two need to go up and Iris and I will follow in a few minutes," he said. "Got it Sean," Nadine said as she and Iris's sister picked up their bouquets and they walked out of the room. Iris sighed a little and rubbed her stomach as she placed the veil over her face as she looked at Sean. "Nervous lassie?" he asked with a chuckle. Iris chuckled a little as she nodded. "Very nervous," she said. Sean smiled. "I bet you are," he said as he took her arm and tucked it with his as he smiled a little. Iris smiled as well. They walked out of the room they were and they were walking down the aisle outside the house. The people that were sitting rose up as a family member from Iris's family started to play 'Here comes the bride' on his violin as Sean and Iris walked up the aisle to Arthur. Arthur smiled as he watched them walk up and he took Iris by her hand once she and Sean were close enough to him as Sean stood off to the side. The priest told everyone to sit and everyone did as he cleared his throat and opened the book in his hands. "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Captain Arthur Kirkland and Captain Iris McDonald," he started as Iris smiled at Arthur from under the veil and Arthur smiled back at her. Even though her face was hidden in the veil Arthur thought she looked lovely and beautiful. Soon enough it was time for them to say their vows. "Iris when I met you 2 years ago I thought of you as a powerful rival and I never thought I would fall in love you the way I did. You are more than a lover to me. You're my best friend and a woman I never ever want to leave," Arthur said as Iris smiled. "Arthur when I first met you I thought you were like many male pirates I have met over the past few years as being a pirate. When I first discovered my feelings towards you I thought I had gone mad for falling in love with a rival, but I guess I was wrong because know I'm with a person I love and I hope we will be together forever," Iris said as she smiled. Arthur smiled as well. Nadine wiped away some of her tears so her mascara wouldn't run. The priest smiled as he looked at Arthur. "Do you, Arthur Kirkland, take Iris McDonald to your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and health, for richer and poorer, and for better or worst as long as you both shall live?" he asked. "I do," Arthur said with a smile. "And do you, Iris McDonald, take Arthur Kirkland, to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and health, for richer and poorer, and for better for worst as long as you both shall live?" the priest asked as he looked at Iris. "I do," Iris said. "May we have the rings?" the priest said. Iris's nephew walked up with the rings as Arthur and Iris took them. "Now repeat after me Arthur. I, Arthur Kirkland, give this ring to you as a symbol of my love and devotion to you," the priest said. "I, Arthur Kirkland, give this ring to you as a symbol of my love and devotion to you" Arthur said as he slipped the ring the ring on Iris's ring finger. The priest looked over at Iris and told her the same thing and Iris repeated those words as she slipped the ring for Arthur onto his ring finger. "The rings have placed and the vows have been said. Now if there anyone that is against this marriage speak now or forever hold your peace," the priest said. No one said anything and the priest smiled. "Then I pronounce you two husband and wife. You may kiss your bride," he said. Arthur smiled as well as he took the veil and he lifted it over Iris's head and he smiled at her and she smiled back. The two of them kissed each other and everyone clapped for the two of them as they pulled away and smiled at each other.
Seven months went by and it was getting close for Iris giving birth. Arthur and her were in their cabin as he rubbed her stomach. "We're nearly there," Arthur said. "Yes indeed," Iris said. She suddenly took a sharp breath and Arthur grew concerned. "Are you alright?" he asked. "It can't be the baby is coming a week early," Iris whispered. Arthur heard that and he called for the ship's doctor and he held Iris's hand and he looked at her. "It's going to be okay my love," he said. Iris looked up at him as she nodded weakly as the doctor ran in as she looked at them. "Okay we need to start this. Captain Kirkland I need you hold onto her hands," the doctor said. Arthur nodded as he took Iris's hands and he kissed her head as the doctor told her to push and Iris did so. They both heard a cry come out and the doctor said it was a girl and Iris knew she had company and she started to push again and another cry rang out. "Congrats sir and miss you two have beautiful healthy twin daughters," the doctor said. Arthur and Iris smiled as they got one girl into their arms. Arthur smiled at the one he was holding. She looked like him, but she didn't have his bushy eyebrows. Iris smiled at her little girl that she was holding. The girl looked like her. "What should we name them?" Arthur asked. Iris thought for a moment and she smiled a little. "Kelly and Abigail or Abby for short," she said. Arthur smiled as he heard both Abby and Kelly cooing. "Those are wonderful names for our two girls my dear," he said. Iris smiled as she nodded in agreement. Arthur smiled and he kissed her cheek. He was truly happy now. He was married to the woman he loves and now he had two precious daughter that he would love forever and ever.
