Okay here is chapter 2. I hope you liked chapter 1, because I reread it a few times and I knew that if I came across a story that started out like mine, I would love it. Read on and don't forget to review.

Elizabeth boarded the ship, but was a little unnerved by the stares she was receiving. She squeezed Will's hand tightly.
Will noticed Elizabeth squeeze his hand and looked down at her. Her beautiful face had a small frown and she was blushing. He finally noticed that everyone were staring and he turned around, still holding his wife's hand. "Get back to work. Our new course is Devil's Trench. Hamlet, give the directions. Webb, escort Elizabeth to my chamber. I have something I need to talk about with Bill." {He doesn't call Bill, "father" because that's not what Captains do.} Webb and Hamlet nodded, "Aye aye, Captain Turner." Webb held out his hand. "Come with me, milady," he gestured politely. Elizabeth smiled and gave Will a glance. Will nodded and kissed her hand gently. "I'll be there shortly, darling. I love you, alright?" he whispered. "I love you too, Will," she whispered back, following Webbs.
She followed Webbs to Will's quarters. "Here you go, Mrs. Turner," Webbs said, bowing. "Just call me Elizabeth," Elizabeth insisted. "Aye, Elizabeth," Webbs nodded. Elizabeth sat down and sighed softly. "Is there something wrong, Mrs-er Elizabeth?" Webbs asked. "Well...I..." she began, not sure if she could trust a man she just met. "You can tell me, Elizabeth. I'm a good listener," he assured her. "I'm not sure how to adapt living on a ship. I mean, I haven't been around this many people in years and-"
She stopped when Webbs patted her hand gently. "It's alright, Elizabeth. Everyone's pretty decent, so me, Captain Turner and your father-in-law will make sure you're comfortable. And you can always come to me if you need advice." A small smile came to Elizabeth's face. "Thank you, Webbs," she said, giving him a tight hug. Webbs was shocked, as he hadn't been touched by a woman for over a decade, but he hesitantly hugged her back. "Glad to be of any help, Elizabeth," he replied, pulling away. Webbs was 5'9, with long black hair, silky and shiny, with bright green eyes. He was slightly tanned and he had a nice muscular body, not too built. He had a smooth voice and he had dimples. He was 19, but he acted older than he truly was. Women loved him, but he longed for an intelligent woman. Webbs stood up and Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "I would love to talk more, Elizabeth, but I have work to do. I'll fetch Captain Turner for you," he said, giving her a soft smile. She nodded, "I appreciate that, Webbs, you're a sweet man." Webbs couldn't help but blush. "Ah, t-thanks. See you later, Elizabeth," he turned and hurried up the stairs, earning a giggle from Elizabeth.
Will stood in front of his father in a secluded area. "So what is it that ya wanted to talk about, son?" Bill inquired. "I'm nervous about Elizabeth. I mean, she's gorgeous. What if she grows tired of me and falls in love with one of my crew members? Or someone falls in love with her?" Will questioned nervously. Bill smiled, "Well, you're the captain. If she does that, throw her off the ship. Your call." Will's eyes narrowed. "I would never do that. I love her too much." Bill grinned and patted his son on the back. "I believe ya, son. So, if you love her, trust her. What you decide to do is up to you. I'll support you either way." Will smiled fondly, "Thank you, father." The father-son moment was cut short when Webbs walked up to Will. "Elizabeth is waiting for ya, cap'n," Webbs exclaimed. When Will raised his eyebrow at the use of his wife's first name, Webbs quickly explained, "Uh, she asked me not to call her Mrs. Turner." Will nodded slowly and glanced at his father. His father nodded at him. Will walked to his quarters.
When he got there, he saw Elizabeth on her knees on the bed, her hands folded neatly. She spotted him and gave him an affectionate smile. Will was dumbfounded. He still couldn't believe that beautiful smile was for him. He held out his arms and Elizabeth stood up. She ran into him arms, burying her face into his chest. Will kissed her head softly. "I love you, Will. So much," she chimed gently, smiling more when she felt his arms wrap around her body. "I love you too, Elizabeth. And I will never love anyone more," he answered, locking her lips in a lingering kiss. "I thought after all these years, you wouldn't love me anymore. I mean, you're still so handsome..." she trailed off. "You're beautiful, darling and I love you no matter what. Don't worry so much," he grinned. In reality, Will was shocked with her words. She was the one who he expected to feel that way, to not love him anymore. He shook his head for doubting their love.
Elizabeth stood idly by, watching all of the men work. Her husband was showing Webbs the map and he was explaining until his eyes met hers. He smiled and winked and Elizabeth giggled. She began to walk around, as shirtless, sweaty men carefully avoiding bumping into her, as she explored. She leaned on the side of the ship, looking into the distance.
Her brows furrowed when she spotted a ship approaching from the distance. [Is that a pirate ship? Elizabeth thought worriedly.] She squinted, leaning forward and trying to see if she could see anything that would give the ship away. She saw a red flag and burly men all around the deck. She leaned forward a bit more and saw who she figured was the captain. The captain and Elizabeth locked eyes and the man grinned, blowing a kiss at her with an evil smirk on his face. Elizabeth wrinkled her nose in distaste and decided to warn Will. She ran back the direction she came and called out, "Will!" Will was guiding the ship and turned around in alarm when he heard his wife's worried voice.
Will grabbed both of her hands as Elizabeth finally reached him, slightly out of breath. "I saw a pirate ship coming towards us, Will," she informed him. Will frowned and kissed her on her forehead. "Are you sure, darling?" he asked, looking at how distraught she seemed. When Elizabeth nodded, a voice called out, "Rouge ship, coming directly for us, Captain!" Will rolled his eyes and scolded the lookout. "And what were you doing all of this time that let them get so close to us, Hamlet?" Hamlet gulped and held up a biscuit. Will growled and Hamlet flinched. "If we end up losing any men, you're walking the plank," Will threatened.
WIll barked directions and began to stop the ship, waiting for the unknown ship to get close. The unknown ship stopped a few hundred feet away from them and Will's crew readied the cannons, in case something went astray.
Will called out, "Is there a problem?" The other captain, who was quite ugly, yet young, replied, "Nah prob'em at t'al, Captain. I be Cap'in Rawthorne n I was gonna ask the great Cap'n Will Turna if ya knew there be a woman aboard ye ship." Will was about to respond when Elizabeth spoke up. "Yes, sir, he does know. I am his wife, Elizabeth Turner." There were murmurs among the Rawthorne's crew.
"Not ta question ye actions, but me thinks it isn't wise ta have such a beauty on ya ship," Rawthorne continued, grinning, showing his yellow teeth. "And why might that be?" William asked, his eyebrow raised. Rawthorne shrugged, "Cuz men like meself who had'nt touched a woman in years might be tempted ta take 'er from ya." That earned a laugh from Rawthorne's crew, and Elizabeth walked over to Will, who put one arm around her, holding her to his chest. "Are you implying that you're going to try to take my wife from me, Captain? Because, I won't allow that to happen," Will spoke calmly, pulling out his sword. Captain Rawthorne held up his hand in peace. "Not at all, Capt'n Turna. I jus want'd ta warn ye, is all. We'll be on our way," Rawthorne smirked, his ship turning back the other direction and sailing off.
Will stood staring until Rawthorne's ship was out of sight. Will leaned towards Elizabeth and planted a deep, passionate kiss on her lips. "I won't let anyone hurt or take you away from me, Elizabeth." Elizabeth smiled warmly. "I know."
Okay, I'm done with this chapter. I'm about to lie down, my eyes are burning. Please review.
