Potc short story: Baby on Board part 2

"She still won't wake up." Jack said hurriedly, worry in his voice.

"Then we'll have to force your wain out then," Soracha huffed. "She'll bleed more, but it'll save the baby."

Jack gave a nod in response.

"Get those cloths ready." She snapped, half in Gaelic. Gently putting her hands around the baby's head. And giving a careful tug. "Now." Soracha commanded, when Jack was hesitant. "Jack, you're coat."

He quickly took off his coat, handing it to her as she put a small bundle inside. "Keep her warm."

"Her?" Jack asked, confused, pulling his coat closer around his newborn daughter who gave a wail. Flailing her little arms in the air as she cried.

"Aye, the cloth please." She replied, taking care of Cora. "An' me knife."

"What's the knife for?" He questioned worriedly.

"To cut the cord." Soracha answered, tying it and then doing so. "We need to get Cora back to the Lady before she goes into shock." She added. "You'll need to carry her , so hand me the babe."

He gave a nod, handing Soracha the baby in his arms. And picking up Cora to follow her.

Teague greeted them as they boarded the Lady. Eyebrow raised as he glanced at the three of them. "What happened?" He asked.

"Yer a granddad,  Soracha said lightly, though there was a slight, hidden twinkle in her eyes. "That's what happened, congrats- old man." She teased.

He shook his head, watching Jack take Cora down to the surgery. Then glanced at the bundle in Soracha's arms. "Boy?" He asked.

"Naw, girl." She answered. "Bring her down to Roxanne. " Soracha added, handing him the baby. "She'll freeze without some motherly care, an' I got to look after Cora." She disappeared at that. Leaving Teague alone and standing half clueless with his granddaughter.

He gave a shrug, heading to his cabin and opening the door. Going in.

Roxanne glanced curiously and suspiciously at Teague as he came in. Sitting on the bed with a baby in his arms. A sight she hadn't seen since their youngest was born.

"Who's that?" She asked. "Yours?" She half teased. Slight jealousy building up inside her. Even though she told herself she had no reason to doubt him.

"Sort of," He replied with a nod. "Our granddaughter."

"Jackie 's or Ro?" She questioned, peering down at his arms.

"Jackie's." He told her. "Soracha asked me to bring her down to ye. Cause Cora can't look after her quit yet."

"What happened?"

"Dunno, just that Cora's not in a good condition." Teague said. "An' Hector mutinied, so Jackie won't be in a good mood. "

Roxanne nodded, going to a trunk and pulling out a small , little nightdress. As well as a cloth diaper. "Hand me her and I'll dress her." She said, sitting back down.

Teague careful did so, watching her, his eyes soft.

"Yes?" She asked quietly, looking up at him just as gently. Still cradling the baby. Who was now clothed and snuggled in warm blankets.

"Jus' rememberin' when we had little wains is all, an' seeing ye just like this." He replied, kissing her head.

She gave a nod, gently rocking back and forth to calm the baby she held in her arms. "Seems like ages ago since Jackie and Ro were little."

"Aye, it does." Teague said softly. "An' now they're grown up, an' we have a grandkid." He grinned.

The door opened and Jack popped in around the corner. "Cora's awake." He told them, coming in.

They both gave a nod, handing over the baby to Jack. "What's her name?" Roxanne asked curiously.

"Nara Lillian Sparrow." He replied, turning towards the door.

"No Teague?" Edward said in disappointment as his son shook his head.

"I don't see a Roxanne in there for that matter either." Roxanne teased. "But the Sparrow will fix that, for now. The next one's going to be named after me."

Jack waved his hand, as if to brush their comments away. "I'm going to go sleep, see you tomorrow."

"Aye, you'll need all the sleep you can get. Especially if Cora's gonna stick around." Teague grinned. "So get as much sleep as you can, ol' man."

"You too grandpa." Jack chuckled. "We're right under you so you'll hear every wail we do." He smirked. Leaving the cabin.

Teague shook his head, getting under the covers next to his wife. Tonight was going to be a long one, even more so with a baby on board.

And he was determined to get some sleep.
