"Will come on! I have a surprise for you" Elizabeth whispered striving not to wake the baby.

"Can't it wait? She just fell asleep." Will asked. Not wanting to leave his daughters side. "No. Sorry, I know you want to, so do I but the surprise!" She reasoned.

"Yes all right." Will stood to leave. "Sleep tight." He whispered as he kissed the baby's forehead.

"'Bout bloody time!" Jack nearly shouted.

"Jack! Please Lizzi is sleeping!" Elizabeth said furious wondering if he listened to anything she told him when he showed up at the door step.

"Jack! Jack Sparrow?" Will said with surprise.

"Captain Jack." Jack corrected. "Will you look great…Lizzie you look…different somehow…you changed?" Jack inquired.

"I had a baby two months ago, Jack." Elizabeth replied.

"O Congrats! Drinks all around!"

"Sorry Jack there's no rum in the house." Will stated almost disappointed.

"Course not Lizzie hates rum. 'Because it turns even the most respectable man into a scoundrel." Jack muttered under his breath. "So what's the kids name eh? Jack?" He asked hopefully.

"No it's a girl; her name is Lizzi, after you more or less." Elizabeth explained. "You see we thought you were dead and we wanted to name the baby after you but we had a girl so we decided to call her Lizzi- because that's what you liked to call me."

"Why would you think that I was dead?" Jack said looking at her intently.

"Well you haven't made contact or visited in almost a year. Plus the last time we say you the East India Trading Company had three ships chasing your one." Will explained. "We thought for sure those bloody bastards got you and the crew." He continued. Jack walked around the room looking at everything to keep from looking at them.

"I need both of you to come and help me rescue my crew." Jack said suddenly after a long moment of silence.

"Jack we can't just leave- we have a family now." Elizabeth said stunned that he would think that they would.

"Look luv, I understand about your new little lass, but we need your help." Jack said, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"I realize that Jack, but I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request." Elizabeth smartly replied, remembering when the evil Captain Barbossa had first said it to her.

"Lizzie I have no idea what you just said, but it didn't sound good. And luv I'm just asking for you to come along and help get me crew back. Seeing as I put my life on the line- out of the goodness of my heart- to rescue you when you went and got yourself captured by Barbossa, to save you, you owe me your life. And to pay me back all you have to do is come and help me get my crew back." Jack rambled.

"Jack it means no. We can't just leave Lizzi."

"You could bring her along." Jack interrupted.

"We are NOT putting her in danger! I'm sorry" Elizabeth said as she noticed Will hadn't said much. "Will- you're not actually thinking about going with him are you?" She asked realizing that he was. "We can't possibly- I mean Lizzi and what would we do with her. Believe me I want to go- I do but we can't."

"Elizabeth we have to help. We could leave Lizzi with your dad. We can't be gone that long. Please Elizabeth I really want to go." Will said pleadingly.

"Please Lizzie!" Jack joined the begging.

"I dunno…all right. But only if we are back in two weeks or less."

"Father you don't understand. They need our help! All Will and I are asking you to do is watch Lizzi. You don't need to lie for us just watch her!" Elizabeth reasoned. "No Elizabeth I forbid you to go!"

"You can't do that! And if you won't watch Lizzi then we will take her with.

"No you won't! You will not take my granddaughter to her almost certain death!" "Well than you have to watch her! Because whether you like it or not Will and I are going to help Jack get his crew back."

"Fine I'll watch her but I'm not lying for you and you will be back in less than three weeks."

"We will be! I told them two weeks or less." Elizabeth said glad she wouldn't have to bring Lizzi along.
