Angelica paced around the cabin, wondering where Jack was. Half of her wanted to be mad that he left, the other half wanted to be afraid that he died.

The door interrupted her thoughts. Angelica ran and hid behind the couch, fearing it was a pirate raid, but Jack walked through the door, a little bounce in his step.

Angelica ran around the couch to hug him, "Where did you go?" She pulled away and put her hands on her hips.

"I had a talk with William" Jack told her, not wanting to give details.

"What are you so happy about today?" Angelica asked

"Oh just happy to have you.....two" Jack looked down at Angelica's belly. She chuckled and rubbed a caring hand over her stomach.

"Oi!" Angelica hunched over.

Jack grabbed her, helping her to the bed. "What is it?!" Jack asked concerningly.

"The baby.." Angelica grunted.

"YOU'RE HAVING THE BABY?!?!? I'll get Gibbs he's a doctor." Jack started to turn and run for Gibbs but Angelica stopped him.

"No it's kicking." She giggled and gently placed Jacks hand on her stomach to feel.

Jack felt a small bump, like a marble rolling under a blanket. Jack stared at his hand, processing what he had just felt. Then he looked at Angelica. He bear hugged her, realizing how hard it must be.

Jack held Angelica in his embrace, not wanting to ever let go. Not wanting to ever lose her. His family.
