Chapter 2 will be about Elizabeth, who almost miscarries the baby at 5 ½ months pregnant, due the heat in Port Royal.

Chapter 2: Heat in Port Royal

Elizabeth sat down in a chair with a sign. It was unbelievable hot in Port Royal, but what can you expect in the Caribbean, especially in the mid of July. She put her hand on her stomach. She could believe how fast things were going. Now 5 months pregnant, she had to take it easy because of the heat.

Suddenly she felt something, was that a kick? She thought. As she waited, she felt another one. She smiled, finally the baby was kicking, and the baby was moving since she was 4 months. She couldn't wait until Will came home, he would be surprised as well. She knew that for sure.

Elizabeth heard a door opening and closing door while she standing in the kitchen, steering the soup. She walked over to Will, who was sweating. "I can't believe how warm it is here, are you sure you're managing in your condition" asked Will. "I'm fine, I'm taking it easy" Elizabeth replied smiling while taking Will's hand to her stomach. "Can you feel it? It's kicking" she said smiling. Will smiled back as he kissed her.

2 weeks passed and it was still hot and sweaty for the people in Port Royal. Elizabeth got the orders from Doctor Ryan to keep out of the sun; in her condition it was very dangerous.

As Will was sleeping, Elizabeth awake. She thought of her baby. They didn't even have a name if it was a girl. "Will, are you awake?" "Mmm" she heard. Will turned around. "What's wrong?" "I have been thinking, we still don't have a name for baby if it was a girl. "You have to think about it now, there is still 3 ½ months to go" said Will yawing. Elizabeth turned to her left side. "But still, people are asking me if I have a girl's name, and every time I have to say no. "Elizabeth, don't worry about it, we'll get a girl's name" said Will while putting a hand on her stomach. "Right now you have to focus on staying healthy, for the sake of our baby" Elizabeth smiled and crawled in Will's arms, feeling save.

The next day, it was warmer than the previous day. Elizabeth was sweating, and knew she had it take it really easy. She decided to water the flowers outside. She got her bonnet, to protect her from more sweating.

As she was watering the flowers, she came by the lilies. Those were her favourite. Lilly, the name echoed in her head. Lilly Turner she thought. That's a beautiful name she thought. She went back inside for some more water. She removed her bonnet to swep off the sweat on her forehead. But when she went outside again, she forgot to put back on her bonnet.

As she walked back to the garden, Elizabeth finished off watering the flowers, but because she didn't have a bonnet on, she started to get a headache. Causing her to sweat more and more, Elizabeth couldn't breathe normally anymore. She turned to the sun, breathing more and more labored, and fainted of exhaustion in the garden, right in front of the sun.

Will came home from an exhausting day at the blacksmith. As he came home, there was no response of her when he called her name. He walked to the window. With horror in his eyes, he saw Elizabeth lying in the garden. He ran towards her, turning her around. "Elizabeth" he cried desperately. Elizabeth gave no response, her face saw white and she was unconscious. He lifts her up and carried her upstairs. He laid her softly on the bed, putting the covers over her.

Will walked as fast as he can to the doctor's office. He knew he couldn't run because of the heat. Doctor Ryan was standing outside. "Doctor Ryan, you have to come quick. I found Elizabeth lying in the garden unconscious! "In de garden!? I told her to stay out of the sun" he said quickly getting his stuff.

An hour later, Elizabeth was covered in ice blocks, to keep the fever down. "How is she doctor?" asked Will worried. "She is weak, she is exhausted. She has almost miscarried the baby" replied Doctor Ryan. "I told her to stay out of the sun, so I don't understand what she was doing in the sun" The doctor continued.

Elizabeth woke up and said shivering: "Cold". Will looked at her with a relieving and exhausting face. "You gave us quite a shock, young lady" said Doctor Ryan. "What happened?" asked Will with a worried face.

"I don't know actually, I went outside to water the flowers and I went back in inside to get some more water. I guess I forget to put back on my bonnet" said Elizabeth while shivering.

"Well, I'll be checking on her in an hour, keep her covered in ice blocks until I return, to keep the fever down" said Doctor Ryan. "Yes doctor" Will said while moving his arm around Elizabeth.

When the doctor left, Will said: "Never scare me like that again" "I won't, I really didn't expect this" said Elizabeth.

"By the way, I finally got a name if we have a girl" said Elizabeth. "What's that? "Well, as I was watering the flowers, I got to the lilies and I thought: Lilly, Lilly Turner. Do you like it?" asked Elizabeth

"Lilly Turner, I love the sound of that. Just like Elizabeth Turner" Will said while bending over his wife to kiss him.
