"Jack".... Cora said timidly as she sat in her spot on the sand. Hand resting on her stomach as she gave a wince, rubbing it. "Jack." She said again when he didn't answer, and instead kicked a stone. Muttering to himself.

"Jack." She snapped, pain lacing her voice.

That got his attention and he turned around. "What?" He asked, annoyed, but not at her. He picked up his hat from where he had tossed it on the ground. Coming over.

"Something's wrong." She whimpered. "It hurts."

He bent down besides her, feeling her belly. Then swore under his breath in mutters. "I'm not no doctor but pretty sure yer in labor. " Jack told her. "I know least that much from when mum had Ro. "

"What a great time to take over me ship an' strand us on an' island, an empty one at that. Thank ye very much Hector." He panicked, talking to himself . "Thank you so much!"

"Jack!" Cora called out again, needing his help and attention.

"Aye, what now?!" He snapped, glancing up.

"Stay with me, please?" She begged, grabbing his hand. "I, I need you."

"I ain't leavin ' ye, don't worry." Jack replied softly . "Besides, I can't go far anyways." He added, giving a grim smile.

Cora chuckled a little, wincing again in pain.

He held her hand, sitting closer besides her. "The best advice I can give ye, is to just stay calm an' breath." He told her, kissing her head.

She rose a brow, glancing up at him. "You'll need to stay calm for me to be able to." She retorted simply.

Thunder cracked just then and he glanced up, feeling rain sprinkle on his nose as it began to pour. "We'll see," he muttered. "I can't make no promises. But for now, let's move under a tree. It's going to be a long night ."
                                {Hours later....

"Almost there, one more push, or two." Jack said as his hand was gripped tightly, to the point of it turning purple and red.

"Jus ' two?" Cora grunted with a whimper. "Why?"

He gave a nod, gently running a hand through her hair. "Aye, just a few more. I can see the head."

"Need a doctor?" A voice suddenly asked, startling them both.

"Soracha." Jack breathed in relief. "An' aye." He replied. "What are you doing out here?"

"Could say the same about you two." She replied. "Taking a vacation?"

"No," He retorted, still focused on Cora as she came over. Pulling out supplies as she bent down besides them both. "Hector mutinied."

"Bastard." Soracha said with a shake of her head. "I told ye not to trust him."

"I know, my mistake." Jack answered. "Is dad here?" He asked.

"Aye, back on the Lady with yer mum." She responded. "Almost there  Cora , one more push."

Cora shook her head. "Can't ." She said weakly, whimpering again.

"Ye have to, come on. Just one more." Soracha encouraged. Trying hard to keep the roughness out of her tone as she spoke.

Coralie gave another whimper, doing her best to do as asked.

"Gonna have to have you give another." Soracha told her. "Baby's stuck a little."

Cora grunted in response, head and body going slack.

"Cora?" The doctor asked, trying to get her to answer. Her patient gave no word, making her swear under her breath.

"Jack, wake her up." She said sharply, focusing on attempting to get the baby out. Without using any tools, only her hands to prevent any harm.

"I can't get her to." Jack said frantically.

More swearing came from Soracha. "Well you're gonna have to make her to. Or the baby won't survive. An' it's too far into the labor to do surgery without harming Cora. So wake her." She snapped.

"Cora, come on," Jack murmured, shaking her shoulders. "Wake up, you need to wake up."

A/N:

LucyBoal Don't worry, part 7 to Approved is still in the making. But I had the inspiring to write when Nara was born so here this one is. :) I'll try to work on Approved #7 tomorrow, but depending on when it gets done will be on how my head feels. Because I've been getting headaches a lot which makes it harder to use and look at screens. But I'll do my best to get it up soon.

And a second part to this one if you want it.🙂
