One month later, at the maternity clinic run by a family of Filipino faith healers, Veronica and Jones arrived although he was scared of Captain Read's wrath over Veronica having a child with the cop, he deeply sighed and calmed himself before they proceeded to walk into the clinic and got inside. Once there, they were in the waiting room full of people inside including pregnant women. Just then, Jenna showed up and called for the duo and Jones was anxious about it, gulping in worry, he turned to Veronica and sweated in fear for his life. So, they walked toward the clinic room, got inside, and entered. In the clinic room before Jenna could do it, she guided Veronica through the equipment to test her health. First, she walked to the weighing scale, stepped on it, and stood still carefully while Jenna observed and checked if she had gained weight that day, then it confirmed that she had weighed 131 pounds, much to Jones' surprise and dismay, he fainted and passed out on the floor. Next, Jenna came up to Veronica with a blood pressure pump, put it on her arm, and pumped it to check her blood and it was okay.
"All clear," confirmed Jenna, saying that her blood rate was okay and giving Veronica a thumbs up.
"Good lord." sighed Veronica, then Jenna put a temperature thermometer on her mouth to check her temperature perfectly, she took out a stethoscope and put it on Veronica's chest to check Veronica's health and heart rate, it was okay too.
"I know." sighed Veronica, taking out a bottle of daily vitamins and swallowing them for once.
"Don't forget to drink water," said Jenna, giving a glass of water to Veronica.
"Thanks," said Veronica, drinking a glass of water. Later, Veronica lay down on the clinic bed as Jenna used her ultrasound machine to perform a scan. Before the scan, she took out the bottle of gel, poured a small amount of it, and put it on Veronica's belly, she took out an attached transducer on her belly and moved it around to scan. In video monitors within the ultrasound machine, there was an image of a baby inside its mother's womb thus confirming that it was a boy.
"Awww, it's a boy, I knew that you were right," confirmed Jenna.
"Excuse me, how did you know Vera was pregnant with our son?" questioned Jones.
"What? How did you ever fall in love with Veronica?" thought Jenna, turning to Jones.
"Well, it happened that because I ate the spam and calamari rings by mistake. It seems that my heart belongs to her now but what if he would be the next heir to the bloodline," explained Jones scared.
"What are you talking about?" confused Jenna.
"I know, I'll be the good father for sure," said Jones, turning to Veronica, "Don't worry Vera, I'll think of something," he said.
Jones' POV: "Within nine months, we tried our best to take care of my baby and keep it a secret from Captain Read who hunted us for sure."
Two weeks later, back at the house, Jones and Veronica were sitting on the couch together and watching a family-friendly movie together, this time they were accompanied by the Freeman family who always looked after them. First, was an old lady with gray hair and black eyes in a red dress with a white apron wearing a pair of white slippers, she was sitting on a rocking chair and rocking back and forth while knitting some baby clothes made of organic cotton yarns with needles as she spent a few days making clothes for Veronica's child. Once the baby clothes were ready, Jenna came up with an empty box, walked up to her, gathered the baby clothes, and stored them inside. Just then, the Jones family arrived although Mrs. Jones wasn't happy about Jones' having a pirate child and looked away in dismay. In the meantime, in the kitchen, Lolo Jack is cooking some healthy foods for Veronica if she is craving food, he turns around and sees a pair of preteen children come closer to him and show up, they give him some recipes in the case and he smiles.
"David Jeremiah Jones!" shouted Mr. Jones cheerfully.
"Dad!" gasped Jones, the Jones family walked to the table and sat on it together along with the Freeman family, it was full of food Lolo Jack had prepared.
"Okay Vera, let's eat," said Jones, but he saw Veronica eating a bag of potato chips instead of eating healthy food no matter how much she ate and drank, then she gobbled all of the food and devoured them all.
Jones' POV: "It reminded me that she might have a baby kicking on her belly or probably indigestion, not to mention that I was an insatiable hunger that drove her to eat or drink."
"Vera...what's happening." gasped Jones, turning to Jenna in panic, "Hey Jenna, I need your help to figure out what to do, she was hungry for sure," he begged Jenna for help.
"I know Mr. Jones. Because she was pregnant, she began to eat endlessly unless she gave birth to her baby and there has to be a way to ease her illness," explained Jenna.
"Oh, my God." gulped Jones, horrified by this.
For one month as Veronica began the pregnancy craving and insatiable hunger, she could not stop but to eat and drinking endlessly unless her baby would be born, she was unable to work at the dockyard in time and was left helplessly. For breakfast, she was sitting on the couch, eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream with sliced pickles on it and drinking a bottle of soda. For lunch, she was at the dinner table where she was wolfing down a plate of burgers with French fries instead of veggie toppings, she added some ice cream and caramel sauce to it, devouring them whole. For snacks, Veronica had a box of pizza with extra cheese and meats, rolled it, and munched it while drinking a hot sauce. For dinner, while the Jones family was having a healthy supper, Veronica scooped a bowl of pumpkin soup with pickles and hot sauce, much to their disgust. By midnight, Veronica tiptoed downstairs to the living room, walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and gathered some food to eat while the family was asleep, she took out a panini press grill, placed two sourdough bread slices, stacked three hot dogs, two peanut butter cups, and caramel fudges, she crushed the nacho chips from the nacho bag and crumbled them into pieces to sprinkle before adding a chocolate egg and cracking it on the breads, she pressed the sandwich together, opened it, and ate them whole.
"Ahhh!" screamed Jones, rushing up to the kitchen in panic and seeing her eating the food at midnight.
"David Jeremiah Jones, how did your friend keep eating food." grumped Mrs. Jones, walking beside her son.
"Forget about that, she was craving food, how could this keep happening to this why!" cried Jones, despaired.
The next morning, Veronica was sitting on the rocking chair and sewing some pillows with a needle she was holding because she was skilled with sewing skills. Once she was done, Veronica placed them on a blue cradle next to her while she was rocking in a rocking chair. It is revealed that she was five months pregnant, she got up from the rocking chair, walked upstairs to the hallway, climbed on the ladder to the attic, and got inside. She was in the attic, packing her older stepbrother's old baby belongings into the cardboard box and closing it. Back at Jones's house, Jones and his parents are setting up the bedroom just as Veronica comes up with her brother's stuff, walks to the bed, and places them on the mattress. Just then, Laura came up with her stepson's old crib for her daughter's child and brought it to the Jones family, her husband came up with a box of his son's old baby clothes when he was little and donated them to Jones and his parents before they headed out, walked away, and left Veronica to stay with the Jones family. In the meantime, outside the house, there was a camper where the Freeman family was inside although they were working and experimenting to create a stretch mark lotion in the hope that Jones could use it for stretch marks.
Jones' POV: "While waiting for my child, I was unaware that the Freeman family was doing their experiment to make a lotion or gel I guess if she got stretch marks over her belly."
"I hope this will work." determined Jenna, then Jones and Veronica showed up although she had stretch marks on her belly when she got pregnant. So she handed it to Jones and he walked to Veronica, and applied it to her belly, hoping the lotion works on stretch marks. Then, the stretch marks magically disappeared and the Freeman family had success in making lotion immediately.
"Eureka!" the family cheered.
"Way a go, I knew I could," said Jenna and the duo walked away.
Jones' POV: "After that, I came back to our house since I already gave Veronica a try for sure."
In the living room, Jones was setting up the baby cradle with his mother when Veronica came downstairs with her back aching, she walked to the Joneses and looked at them in worry, she gritted her teeth and winced in pain. In the bedroom, Veronica went to the mirror while holding her belly against the mirror, she sniffled and cried in worry and despair. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones came into the bedroom and saw Veronica crying on the floor, he was confused about what she had got into her and felt sorry for her. Back at the astrologer's room, Jones roamed around, investigated the area, and looked for answers to his plan but remembered after being told by his grandfather about his prophesized prediction that he was going to have a first child, Jones walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and saw a calendar that exact date on November 15th, he knew that one day his son would be born into the Joneses of Reads, depending on bloodlines. At the same time, Veronica is sitting on the couch in tears while eating pickles to many, and the Joneses are worried about and fear that her uncle will come and attack them. Later at midnight, Veronica was lying on the bed with a sheet tucked over her just as Jones came to her, walked the bed, and leaned his head on her belly to listen only to get kicked on the side of the head by the baby.
"Owwww!" grunted Jones painfully and Veronica laughed at him awkwardly, their mothers came up to them in worry.
"It's all your fault, my daughter got pregnant with your son's child and now my brother will kill all of you." gritted Laura.
"At midnight I hope I'll get a snack for myself." craved Veronica.
"No, you cannot eat everything." refused Mrs. Jones, and then the Freeman family came into the bedroom just in time.
"Hi Vera, I hope you will love this." said Lolo Jack, he took a tray, and opened the lid to reveal a bowl of whole wheat cereal with coconut milk, "First breakfast you would like it."
"No thanks." refused Veronica.
"I hope you like to try my creation between lunch and dinner." said Jenna taking out a tray of vegan Mac and Cheese in the soup, "It's my Grandma's Vegan mac and cheese in the soup." this made Veronica mouthwatering. Uncle Grandfather came up and showed up to pay a visit to the Jones family while holding a tray in his hand.
"And also Burger Dogs," said Uncle Grandfather, taking the lid from the tray and revealing the burgers with hotdogs on them.
"Yeah sound delicious." satisfied Jones, mouthwatering at the Burger Dogs.
"Forgot it, maybe my family can do it," said Jenna, refusing Uncle Grandfather's dish, she took out a tray of a bowl of healthy, anti-cancer vegetarian ramen with veggie broth.
"What that?" asked Jones.
"It's Lola's Special Rich Ramen." replied Jenna, "When I was a child, she once used tempeh as the most prominent piece as well as vegetarian broth which missed with soy milk and miso, even different variations of garnishes and gingers," she explained.
"What does it taste?" questioned Jones.
"It tastes like ramen with meat or fish," answered Jenna, giving the bowl of Lola's Special Rich Ramen to Veronica.
"Let me try," said Veronica, who took a taste of rich ramen with a pair of chopsticks and was delighted by it.
"Oh my it tastes like my aunt was used to making since I was a little girl, I feel sorry for Uncle Gregory." sniffled Veronica, she sobbed so sadly while holding the bowl of Lola's Special Rich Ramen.
"Oh baby." worried Laura, she comforted her daughter and hugged her tearfully, Jones tilted his head and frowned regretfully.
Jones' POV: "So, that's why she went happier than we thought awfully. We decided to take care of Veronica just in care for that time."
Three weeks later, in the living room, Veronica was sitting on the couch with a headset on her belly that connected to the iPod, she installed the many genres of songs, hoping that her child would like it, she was once again eating a bowl of ice cream with pickles and this time hot peppers and chugging a bottle of hot sauce. Meanwhile, Jones was wearing an apron, and a pair of cleaning gloves, walked to the kitchen, approached the sink full of dirty dishes, and went to clean them after his shifts despite the stressful verge of unexpected plans while Veronica was pregnant. But before that, he prepared all of the equipment that needed to be sanitized. First, he goes to measure a certain amount of chlorine and water before he smiles at them in the basin. Then, he gathered the equipment to wash them with soap and rinse them with water. After that, he dipped the equipment in the basin with a mixture to disinfect the infections.
"Done," smiled Jones, removing the equipment from the solutions and letting them dry by air. Once he finished them, he packed and stored them in the cabinets. "I'm glad that chores are over, I need a break." he sighed in relief just as his father came in.
"Hey David Jones, how is it?" asked Mr. Jones.
"Good." sighed Jones exhaustedly, the father and son walked out of the kitchen, walked through the living room, approached the door, and exited the house, they saw Veronica running down the street and chasing the car where Mrs. Jones was holding a bag of pickles in her hands.
"Give me! Give me!" shouted Veronica.
"It must be a mom!" deduced Scott, it turned out Mrs. Jones drove off in her car and lured Veronica into jogging down the street with the bag of pickles she got to make sure that she needed to work out.
"Honey, what are you doing?" asked Mr. Jones, seeing Veronica was running after the car Mrs. Jones for her pickles.
"I think she might lost her weight," said Jones.
"Oh I see." shocked Mr. Jones.
"Run Vera, run like the wind," whooped Jones, shouting for Veronica to keep exercising by running down the street.
Jones' POV: "Well It happened that I should never know that I believe that Vera was exercising all day long as well. But I took her to yoga where we used to meditate and calm ourselves."
At the gym, Veronica was lifting some barbells and struggling to push them up, then she was lifting dumbbells one by one, she ran down the treadmill and chased a hotdog with some pickles on it hung on the thread by Mrs. Jones observing her workout process. She punched down the hanging punching bag with a pair of boxing gloves and grunted furiously and Jones watched at her in worry. Next, she was jumping jack on the trampoline and panting heavily, lifting some dumbbells in each hand as she sweated out. On the floor, she was pushing up with a sack bag on her back and breathing heavily, struggling to stay still and trying not to fall. Later, Veronica was biking on the exercise bike and panting heavily, she was unable to eat anything in the gym and breathed harder. The following morning, at the yoga studio in Grimsborough, The Shala where Jones was wearing a gray tank top, a pair of grey pants, and socks, posing as a substitute yoga teacher to instruct Veronica to do yoga poses as well as animals and everything, they sat on the floor, crossed their legs, placed their hands, closed their eyes, and took a deep breath, inhaling and exhaling calmly.
Mia's POV: "Hey Scott, how Veronica is doing yoga, do you do yoga poses."
Jones' POV: "I know that, but I'm interested in yogas."
One month later, in the attic, her mother was looking for toys for her daughter's child to give them away, Veronica was sitting on the floor and crossing her legs properly, she was reading a book to calm herself and her belly had a pair of headsets to listen to the music peacefully, she turned around and saw her mother finally packing her brother's stuff in the cardboard box and sealed it with a duct tape, she picked it up and carried in her hands, walking out of the attic with it. Meanwhile, Mr. Jones desperately decided to give up his own toys for his daughter's toys when he loaded his old toys into the container box and closed it shut before he went to the trapdoor and headed down. In the camper, during dusk, the Freeman family was preparing for protection on Veronica, gathering the items, and loading them into the box although Jenna took an anting-anting amulet and put it inside the box. When she was ready to pack her toys for Veronica's child, Jones entered the camper and got inside, he gasped in shock and saw the Freeman family armed with weapons, Lolo Jack showed up in front of Jones and took out a kampilan sword immediately.
"Oh Lord." gulped Jones, backing away from the Freeman family in fear.
"Mr. Jones! Stop!" whooped Jenna, showing the box of her old toys to Jones who was shocked and confused.
"What that?" questioned Scott.
"That's not mine, that was my dad's when he was a baby," explained Jenna.
"Oh." frowned Jones, he saw that one of the toys was a stuffed bunny, "Is that yours?" he asked.
"That was my stuffed bunny, my Dad's favorite animal when he was a kid, it was a gift from my great-grandfather because he loved rabbits so much," explained Jenna tearfully since her father passed away that day and all that was left was his stuffed bunny.
"That's sad and I'm sorry about what I was worried about my marriage, was torn apart, and I got angry at my grandpa. But I was wrong, he just wanted me to feel better again to have a wife and some children to raise with love." frowned Jones sadly.
"It's fine, I'll help you feel better again, you promised to you will look after your loved ones and love them the way they are. Got it," remarked Jenna, promising to Jones that she and her family will help him feel better again.
"Thanks, Jenna." smiled Jones gratefully.
"Really, of course, you're welcome," replied Jenna, she wrapped her arms around Jones and hugged him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jones. We'll handle that pirate," said Lolo Jack.
The next month, it was November, it was almost a few days till Veronica's child was born and became an heir to the pirate ship. In the backyard, the Jones family is preparing for the baby shower although Grandpa Jones becomes a host to the party, they are helped by the dock workers who learn that Veronica is pregnant with Jones' baby for the true reason why she left for nine months. The Jones siblings showed up and brought some healthy dishes to prepare for the buffet area on the table, they walked to the empty tables, put the dishes on them, and set them up to turn them into the buffet area. Meanwhile, a pair of preteen boys brought a pile of baby shower gifts for Veronica while the Waygetter family arrived to attend the baby shower. Mr. Jones was setting up the grill, loaded some coals inside, sealed it with a grill rack, filled it with gas, and lit it on fire with a match, his wife was gathering the party decorations to decorate their house to host a baby shower. Back in the apartment unit, Jones was organizing and decorating the baby room for Veronica and even made it a surprise gift for her, he turned around and saw Jenna placed her late father's stuffed bunny on the cradle and decided to say goodbye to his toys for one last time,
"Don't worry, all of the stuffed toy animals belonged to the Jones family, I made a promise to let go of the past." sniffled Jenna, she put her father's stuffed toy animals in the box in case.
"Jenna! Is everything clear?" Jones' voice was heard while asking Jenna if everything was done.
"Yeah," replied Jenna, walking out of the baby room and leaving her father's toys behind as donations to Jones' child.
The next day, today was the baby shower, back at the house, Veronica was sleeping on the bed with Jones in his light blue pajama suit, she woke up and looked down at the belly that she was almost nine months old, she turned around and saw Jones still asleep, smiling at him, then she leaned her lips to his face and kissed him on the cheek. After kissing her friend on the cheek, she leaped from the bed, stood up, stretched her arms, walked to the door, grabbed the knob, twisted it, opened it, and leave the bedroom alone. Simultaneously, a beam of sunlight shone over Jones' face and he woke up from his sleep, he found that Veronica wasn't there so he leaped from the bed, stood up, stretched his arms, walked to the opened door, and exited the bedroom to find Veronica. In the kitchen, Mrs. Jones and Laura are cooking healthy breakfast for their children just as Veronica and Jones come downstairs, walk through the living room, and reach the dining room, they are sitting on the chairs with a table behind them just as a crew of pirates came for a visit and they are shocked to find Veronica was pregnant.
"Vera!" exclaimed the fat pirate shockingly.
"Oh no this can't be happening!" anxious Jones gulped in fear.
"Wait, what's going on," questioned Mrs. Jones.
"Yep, because he gonna take care of that baby and that he would be our new captain," explained the cabin boy, giving a cart to Veronica.
"Wow, that's nice." delighted Jones, holding a cart.
"Wow, that's nice I like it." cherished Veronica. Then, the two exited the bedroom, walked downstairs, and marched out of the house where the baby shower was hosted.
"I know. It's better that I trusted someone to watch over your child," explained Laura, Veronica saw the party punch that flavored strawberry on the table, walked to it, took out a scoop, pulled a cup, filled it, and drank it.
"Not bad," commented Veronica.
"I know, babe," said Luke, carrying a rocker seat.
"Well, I like blueberries so much, even mixed berries," said Veronica, drinking the berry drinks. Then, Uncle Grandfather shows up to inform him immediately if there is a situation.
"Hey, Mr. Jones, how is that couple doing there," asked Uncle Grandfather.
"It's fine, but I change my mind now," replied Jones.
"Listen, pal, there is a way that you will cure him immediately." determined Uncle Grandfather, he takes out the secret antidote sauce.
"No thanks, I gotta go," said Jones, walking away from Uncle Grandfather.
"Are you kidding me, fine I'll do it." grumped Mrs. Jones, he saw a hotdog on the table her son liked.
"Don't ma'am, I got this," said Uncle Grandfather, he took the hotdog, pouring the sauce onto it.
Meanwhile, Jones was in the middle of the karaoke with the beings as he sang a lovely song for Veronica who always loved him so much. Uncle Grandfather aims a shot as Jones opens his mouth when he is singing and fires the burrito inside.
"Oh my god!" shocked Laura, horrified.
"Oops..." said Uncle Grandpa.
"Uncle Grandfather!" angered Mr. Jones, shouting to Uncle Grandfather in anger, then Jones accidentally swallowed the hotdog and went unconscious.
"Nobody panic, I'm here." said Mr. Jones, he turned to Uncle Grandfather in anger, "What the meaning of this?" he asked in fury.
"I wasn't do anything to your son," responded Uncle Grandfather, sweating.
"What have you done!" worried Mrs. Jones.
Jones' POV: "After Uncle Grandfather successfully cures me with a secret antidote sauce he used just before Captain Read showed up, I have no choice but to save myself for a stupid reason."
"Uncle Gregory." gasped Veronica, running to Jones in worry. Suddenly, the water dripped from her body and she felt that she had broken her water and went into pain, gripping her fist, clenching her teeth in pain while groaning before Jones regained consciousness and turned around to see that something was wrong with her lover.
"Vera, are you okay, where their father you need?" asked Jones, even though he didn't remember anything and suspected that Veronica was with her lover.
"Nope, you're my love," responded Veronica, revealing to Jones that she was pregnant with their child.
"What!" shocked Jones, regaining his memories.
"Nooooooooo!" Captain Read is horrified and faints in shock.
