"Captain Bluebeard." Jack panted to his captain."Yes, Jack?" the captain and father-to-be responded.

"Lanie. Lanie sent me to tell you. That."

"Spit it out, then."

"She said it's time." he spat. John leapt out of his seat and pushed past his first mate, who began rambling. "I'm not sure what that means but that what she said..."

John, meanwhile, rushed to the quarters where he and his wife slept.

"John, John you're just in time." she told him breathlessly, sweat beading her forehead.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Lanie."

A cry rose in the air.

"It's a girl!" Lydia exclaimed, holding the screaming baby.

"We'll name her Cordelia." Lanie breathlessly proclaimed, John squeezing her hand.

"There's a -a boy too!" Lydia cried,surprised.

"Dylan." the new father suggested. The mother confirmed it with a nod. Cordelia had her mother's blonde hair and blue eyes. Dylan had his father's brown hair and green eyes. They sailed the seas as a family, the children and mother learning from the father. All the while, sailing further each day from Kingston Harbor.
