Evelyn had been looking out at their surroundings and peered down at Eric as he sunk lower. She gave a smirk and then folded her arms. Just then however she was knocked to the ground and she toppled. Her back hit the cool ground hard and she gave a groan as she looked over at him. "Graceful one?" she asked as she lifted a brow and shook her head. "YER one ta talk." She said with a laugh and sitting up while prodding him in his side playfully.
When he mentioned something about a flower Evelyn blinked. "Flower?" she asked as she looked him over curiously and then immediately shot her hands towards her curls. Her hands felt around her hair when she was finally able to pluck a lily from her tresses. She took it out, held it in her hand, and tossed it to the ground. "Gah! That horrid man..." she muttered and looked around as if expecting him to be off in a corner snickering at her.
Turning back to look at Eric she gave a playful grin and scooted close to him, laying her chin upon him, looking into his eyes and smiling as she lay on her stomach. She lay her left arm over him and breathed in deeply. "D'ye ever think 'bout our children Eric...er...I mean...if we'd ever have somethin' like that James?" Evelyn asked with a bit of awkwardness in her tone but found that it soon faded. Why should she feel awkward about talking about this? It was a possibilty...something Evelyn had never considered really, but now she felt it was at least imaginable.
Eric had shown time and time again how fantastic he would be with children. Evelyn would feel nothing but proud to bear his kids, not now of course, but to someday be the mother of his children would be an honor. In fact, HE Would be the garuntee that her children wouldn't turn out to be complete hellions. Eric kept her grounded a lot of the time and she expected he would provide the same sort of saftey and warmth to her children that he provided to her.

::Jack walked back inside the Turner's feeling relativly happy with his plan then spotted Mark. He eyed the man carefully but said nothing just yet, nothing important, only nodded and gave Mark a unspoken "hello.":::
::Instead he caught Will's eye and gave him a look that friends grow to understand. A "can I talk to you in private?":::
:::He walked back upstairs. He had to get Will's opinion on the matter....and see if the eunuch wanted to join in the madness......would do him some good after all.....a small break from screaming babies......to be replaced by danger and storms and possible death....::
::He paused outside of the baby's room and waited, leaning on the wall::

::Puck smiled in his sleep. finally a calm place to sleep. it was a better option then trying to find a calm place in cat form::
::At least in the cradle the baby wouldn't be distrubed so much....he yawned and stretched out. Then his eyes snapped open::
::Looking up and around he climbed out and sat on the side of the cradle, still impossibly tiny. He listened, hearing Jack's footsteps coming up the stairs::

*Eric laughed warmly, rolling over on his side to face her, his eyes now open and lively.* Im a man....its not MY job to be graceful. *He grinned, squirming to avoid her prodding him. This however proved to be unsuccessful as she had yet to actually miss making contact with him as he fidgeted about. He sat up, shaking some off the grass that had gotten tangled in his hair as she threw the flower down in disgust.
He let out a loud grunt as he watched it glide to the ground and roll away in the faint breeze.* Well at least I dont ever have to buy you flowers. *He said, grinning once more as he glanced sideways at her. He flopped back down on the grass again changing his mind about trying to get up. It was much easier to just simply lay there. Evelyn scooted closer and rested her chin upon him.* Well I dont care what you think I really am, you obviously seem to think I make a damn good pillow. *He laughed, absent mindedly playing with one of her curls.
When she mentioned THEIR children his brow raised and he looked at her curiously for a long moment, wondering if she had really just said that. It didn't seem like a natural topic for her to bring up, children. But upon deciding he had indeed heard true he shifted a bit so he was propped up on both elbows.* YOU'RE actually thinking about OUR kids? *He asked as if he almost expected her to exclaim that it had been a joke.* Well to be honest I have thought about it actually. *He said, blushing some.
He'd always pictured himself being the type of guy to have a wife, nice job and decent home and a large family. He loved the thought of family life, perhaps because he had lost it all at such a young age and wanted to have it again. But mostly he felt his need for family stemmed from his love and care of Melissa. It was his taking care of her that made him feel he had a purpose in life and without someone to care for he couldnt help but find himself feeling useless. That was until Evelyn came along and he felt needed again.* Well, I suppose I would like a family....I mean I know I would. I just...I guess I just assumed it would really be your choice of life. *He said and suddenly thought of his father and how he had made the biggest sacrifice of all in hopes of giving Eric a good life. Eric shrugged a little letting the memory pass away.* There's a lot of sacrifice involved in family.....but its worth it if thats what you want. *He said.
He figured he was being stupid by assuming she was only mentioning family because she thought it might make HIM happy. It had yet to occur to him that it could possibly even make her happy as well.* I uh...erm....yeah. *He said akwardly, not really knowing what else to say so instead he smiled at her with a stupid look on his face, though he didn't realize it.*

*Will glanced up at the sounds of Jacks unique, swaggering footsteps filled the room. He glanced over his shoulder and was rubbing his temples as he caught the look the man was sending his direction. With a nod he rose wearily and followed him up the stairs. His feet seemed as heavy as boulders as he slowly made his way up to the hallway. He grinned a little as Jack was waiting for him to catch up.* You wanted to talk---- *He began as he peered into James' room.
He stopped mid sentence as he noticed something very small and curious propped on the railing of James crib. Will blinked at it a few times and let out a heavy, drawn out groan as he turned back to Jack.* Whatever you have planned....count me in. I need to get away....I think Im going mad. *He said, waving a hand vaugley in the direction where Puck was perched. He obviously thought the small man he was seeing was all in his head and at this stage in his life, this really didnt surprise him.*

Evelyn looked Eric over curiously as he propped himself up on his elbows and looked her over. It seemed he had been a bit startled with her words and she looked down at his stomach for a moment, bit her lip, then looked up at him again. "Erm...yes I was thinkin' 'bout our kids...that's not SUCH a terrible idea is it?" she asked in a half humerous, half offended tone. When he mentioned thinking about it her smirk returned a bit and she sighed heavily as a cool breez blew pat them.
His words were a bit puzzling and he still hadn't mentioned any real enthusiasm over the matter so Evelyn bit her nails a bit nervously. "Well...I mean its not somethin' I'd want anytime soon...an' of course you don' have ta feel obligated to have children either...jus' thought you'd like some one day...er...that is IF you want ME ta be the one to have yer children er..." she stuttered a bit then and shook her head.
"Gah...nevermind. Just thought it was a nice idea." She stated flatly. She gently nuzzled his cheek with hers as if to gently dismiss the matter and then brushed her lips against the corner of his lips. "Don' have ta discuss it if you don' want to." She smiled and then lay down upon him and closed her eyes. It was a pleasant thought, she thought, and she wasn't ready to really let it go, but if it put him in an akward spot then she'd let it go for now.

::Jack watched Will stagger up after him and blinked as Will pointed to the baby's room. He looked into the room and blinked::
::Then blinked again. and blinked again for good measure. Then he took out his hip flask and eyed it curiously. Then looked from the flask to Will...then back at the room. ::
::He frowned as if trying to understand it....then walked into the room, marched up to the cradle and peered at the tiny little creature. Then handling things as only Jack Sparrow could he bend down to get eye level with the creature:: "Hello."

::Puck eyed Will a few seconds, noting the man clearly thought he was a hallucination brought on by sleep deprivation::
::He smirked and gave Will a hearty wave of his tiny hand. Then turned his attention to Jack. Who was currently towering over him. Until Jack bent to his level::
::The Captain greeted him, appearing curious. Puck titled his head to one side and waved back::
"Hello!" He stood up and looked at Jack then Will. Then not knowing exactly what to say without giving Will a nervous breakdown shrugged:: "Fine weather we're havin' eh?"

Post by Emma Hawkins/Rick MacKinnon on Nov 24, 2004 12:14:05 GMT -5
Emma and Rick headed for the Turner's house,a shrot distance behind Jack.Now that they seemed to have a plan,and one that looked like it would be put into action soon,it would be best for the crew to stay together.The swagger seemed to have returned to Emma's step,the cocky glint to her eyes at the thought that she would be at sea again soon,doing what she did best-that is to say,fighting,nearly getting killed,and having a great damned time doing it.
She knocked on the door more as ceremony than anything,before letting herself and Rick in.But almost as soon as she opened the door,her cheery demeanor vanished."Mark,"she said coldly,by way of greeting.Her eyes became like green ice,merciless and full of hate.
Rick's fist clenched at his side as he gave Mark a small nod of greeting,but he managed to put a calming hand on Emma's shoulder as the door closed.He could feel her tension,how hard it was for her not to attack the other man right then and there.But it would take a lot to make Emma directly disobey Jack,and though this came close to being enough,she probably wouldn't hurt him unless he did something else that angered her.

*Eric looked at Evelyn like she were crazy for a long moment and then he laughed heartily and shook his head, still eyeing her intently.* No, Evelyn. I dont want YOU to be the mum of my kids. *He said and then rolled his eyes.* Of course I want you to, Evy. I wouldn't have it any other way. *He said in a soft and sincere tone. Then he smiled, propping himself up to a sitting position. She adjusted herself again so she was laying down upon his lap.
He rubbed her head and could tell by the flat tone in the way she said never mind that it had been something she had honestly wanted to discuss. He didn't want to discourage her from that, it was a serious topic.* I really do want a family someday. *He said airily then he smiled down at her.* And I HOPE you'll be apart of it. *He chuckled.
When he glanced back at the kitchen door of the Turner house he sighed heavily and stretched over-enthusiastically. He heard a knock at the front door and glanced down at Evelyn again, nudging her a bit so she'd look up at him.* Sounds like more company. Guess we should go inside, see if a final plans been forged yet. *He said, waiting till she rose to rise himself and he trotted back toward the house.*

Mark let out a small laugh when he was told that he was making a big deal out of nothing. If being left to die by people you thought were friends is nothing than the world of Will Turner must have been a sad one. Of course he had blown up their home as their friend...but that still didn't change the fact of what had happened. He remembered Will's past. He had been attacked by the Pearl when he was a child...he had been wounded in the attack...BUT...he was saved. He himself was saved too...but only by a woman that cared enough to go back for him. He felt like he wanted to scream out. He knew he couldn't be trusted for a long time...He felt the same about a certain someone. He decided it best to drop the matter.
"Don't tell me it was nothing...you've never felt it...you know nothing of it. You "friends" care about you...All I wanted to do was come here and ask if I could help...I can see that my help is not wanted. Thank you for your time Mr. Turner. Good bye."
Mark said in an almost angry voice. He quickly turned and began to walk away. Before Will he turned and shouted:
"Tell Jack of my request to rejoin the crew! I'll come by later to see the answer!"
He would have stayed and talked to the Captain himself, but he wasn't feeling to welcome. If only the hands of time could be forced back...
He walked back home and checked in on Rhys...she seemed alright. He noticed Sam on the couch and didn't disturb him for he was alseep. He sat down in his chair and looked out the window.
"They'll never understand...I understand that what I did was wrong...but they just don't understand why I did it..."

A soft breeze blew as the day waned on and she closed her eyes briefly as Eric spoke. It was almost enough to lull Eve to sleep really. His smooth, deep, velvety tone always seemed to usher her into a comfortable state, the warm weather, and cool breeze only emphasized the comfort she found in this moment. Eric's words came to her ears as if a bit delayed. Evelyn's lips spread slightly at Eric's mention of him wanting her to be the mother of his children.
She felt a roughened, strong, hand passing over her head gently and she opened her eyes then to look up at Eric looming above her. "Family...haven' had that in a bloody long time." She said with a bit of a sigh and looking away from him. Normally this would be the moment when she would pity herself for her past but looking back at Eric he frowned a bit and reached out a hand to caress his cheek gently. She supposed what happened to him was worse than what had ripped her away from her family. At least Evelyn hadn't lost her family so horribly and didn't have to witness it slowly deteriorate. Eric hadn't been so lucky and it was then she realized that she hadn't spoken of that too much with Eric and wondered if there was any hurt he harboured still.
At his mention of more company Evelyn snapped back into their current situation. She gave half a groan and turned so that she could look over at the Turner home behind them and then flopped herself back over Eric's lap and rubbed her face over with her hands. "Gah...I want a soft bed..." she murmered and gave a deep breath. It was then that her eyes shot open and she sat up slowly. "Although you were serving as a comfortable one fer the moment." She smirked and then winked at him.
Evelyn stood and dusted herself off a bit. Her eyes were fixated upon the home and after taking note that Eric was closely following her, she made towards the home. "D'ye think its Jack that's back? Because honestly mate, I'm gettin' real bored of this land stuff ye like ta call home." She said as she nudged Eric in the side a bit.

*Eric let out a soft sigh and nodded gently as she said family wasn't something she'd had in a very long time. A gloom passed over his face for a moment but just as quickly faded.* Nor have I. *He said in a simple, almost casual tone. He supposed that was why he wanted a family again....because he never really had much time with his own. A fond smile pressed upon his lips as he thought of the prospect of his own family, and sharing it with Evelyn made the thought all the sweeter.
When she asked if he thought the company was Jack he didnt have to answer. Emma and Rick were found downstairs and the voices of a very confused sounding Will and Jack could be heard upstairs. Eric looked over at Evy with a broad smile and sparkling eyes and he nudged her a bit.* Looks like you're about to get off this rock soon. *He laughed, trotting over to the stairs and peering up them.
He spotted Will standing in the hallway with a puzzled and weary look on his face and figured Jack must be nearby, maybe in the babys room.* Sounds like the Captain and Will are upstairs. Care to see if they've got a plan before Evy goes totally insane and makes her own. *He grinned, glancing between Emma, Rick, and Evelyn as he began to slowly mount the stairs.*

::Jack looked down at the small creature, then to Will......and then back at the creature.::
"Yeah....lovely weather....nice sailin' weather...." He agreed. He seemed to have no problem with talking to a tiny elf. As if this sort of thing happened to him every day of his life.::
::He then glanced back at Will:: "Ye know, just for the sake of my friend's sanity......an' anyone else who might come in the room....ye mind....well..can ye get any bigger? Though I doubt you'll look any more acceptable in a bigger size then ye do right now.....if my eyes are correct...."
::He could tell...well...this thing was already wearing bright reds and purples....so it was doubtful he'd fit in anyway....::
"An if you can't do ye mind telling me if you happen to be the result of rum and a stressful night?"

::Puck smirked, then caught the sound of more footsteps coming up the hall. He had a guess that is was more of the crew::
::Then taking into consideration Jack's words he nodded, jumped from the edge of the cradle. And was full size before he hit the floor:::
::Standing there he dusted himself off, and then waved at Will:: "It's alright mate....I don't bite." Then turning to Jack he answered::
"No....I'm real...." He shrugged, not willing to give the complicated answer just yet. He stood there next to the Captain, letting him take in the general idea of what he'd just seen before he did anything else::
