This is a Jack/Elizabeth story so all you Willizabeth fans beware. It takes place 5 years after at Worlds end. Enjoy and don't forget to read and review.

Elizabeth stood outside the door of an extremely large English style mansion, the rain pouring down upon her soaking her clothes. Her wet hair hung limp down her back. Her cheeks were rosy red from the cold and the tears she had cried not so long ago. She knocked furiously on the door, hoping someone who come and answer the door. The English weather was bitter cold and Elizabeth was unused to it, and unprepared. After a few more seconds of waiting she began to knock again only a little harder on the door, desperate to get inside. She glanced at her hand which was becoming sore from the heavy things she had been coming, and the knocking.

She stole a glance at her left hand, and there it was upon her ring finger, the most beautiful ring she had ever lay eyes on. It was gold with a single pearl in the center; a black one to be precise. It symbolized everything that now meant so much to her, and it was one of the few things she had left to remind herself of where she had just come from. She closed her eyes for a moment the memories came flooding back to her.

Flashback

Elizabeth stood next to the railing of the pearl, her hands firmly grasping it. She let go of the cold wooden railing and looked at her finger, just to make sure it was still there and she hadn't been dreaming. There it was the newly received ring on her finger, she smiled to herself it had meant so much to her new husband. Suddenly she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder; she spun around to face her husband grinning at her. They had only been married a few minutes, and already she loved it. Jack stood there his chocolate eyes boring into her light brown ones. Finally he broke the silence.

"Examining the ring I see"

"It's so beautiful" she told him.

"Aye" "I have been waiting a long time to give it to the special person" he confided.

She nodded.

"You Lizzie are that special person" he finally told her.

She blushed, and then he leant down and kissed her softly on the lips.

She broke away and quickly turned to the ocean and threw up suddenly. Something was wrong, she was certain. Jack looked at her worried and walked up to her side and placed a concerned arm on her shoulder.

"It's ok love, I'll take you to a doctor" he told her before turning around and ordering his crew.

Tia's Shack (few weeks back)

Elizabeth lay on the bed, Jack next to her holding her hand comforting her. Tia walked up to her and examined her for a moment.

"What is wrong with her" Jack asked

"It seems to me, she be carrying a child" she told them.

Elizabeth gasped, and looked at Tia shocked. Jack was speechless, he was going to be a father.

Pearl

"Lizzie love, you can't have a child on the pearl, it just aint safe"

"I'll be fine Jack"

"I don't want anything to happen to you"

"Nothing will Jack, ill be fine"

"I want you to stay with your cousin in England for a year" He told her.

She looked at him with disbelief.

"Jack, no I can't"

He took her hands. "Love you have to"

She nodded her eyes brimming with tears waiting to escape.

She opened her eyes and knocked again, she had to get inside in the warmth, getting sick could affect the life of her child. She banged loudly on the door and waited quietly. Moments later she heard voices and footsteps approaching the door. She breathed a sigh of relief and quietly waited for the door to open.
