Summary: When a plane becomes high jacked lives collide and the unexpected happens.
Elizabeth was completely shocked at the words coming out of Will's mouth. When he sat her down and said the words, "We need to talk," she thought for sure he was going to break up with her. Elizabeth finally gained the gumption to answer Will's lingering question.
"Oh Will," Elizabeth happily exclaimed, "Of course I will marry you," she said smiling as Will slid the ring on her dainty finger.
Elizabeth stood up throwing her arms around Will's neck as she gently kissed his tender lips. She could feel Will's hands move from her lower back up to where he settled one on the back of her head and the other softly on her cheek.
Suddenly the phone in their cabin began t ring. Elizabeth and Will looked at each other with excitement in their eyes. Elizabeth quickly pulled away from Will as she scampered to get the phone. "Hello," she said answering the phone with a little too much enthusiasm. "Yes this is Miss Turner," she answered into the phone, "Oh," she replied losing her enthusiasm. "Well thank you for the news," she said into the phone as a small frown crept onto her face then she hung up.
Will rushed to her side placing his hands on her hips. "She must not be pregnant," he thought to himself.
Elizabeth quickly thought of a way to break the news to Will, "Oh no, I don't think he wants kids now, how is he going to take the news?" she thought to herself while dreading telling Will the news.
Elizabeth looked into Will's eyes, "Honey," she paused with disappointment in her voice, "I'm pregnant."
Will's eyes opened widely, "Elizabeth! This is amazing, we are going to have a family!" he exclaimed.
"You mean you want a family?" Elizabeth asked quite confused.
"Of course Elizabeth, I want nothing more than to have a family with you," Will said excitedly.
"I thought you didn't want to have children," Elizabeth explained.
"What in the world would make you say that love?" Will asked.
"When you asked me this morning I thought it was because you didn't want children," Elizabeth said looking embarrassed.
"No, I had to go buy the most important woman in my life her engagement ring because I left it to the last minute, thinking you wouldn't want to marry me, I'm sorry," Will said quickly kissing Elizabeth's lips.
He then looked down at her flat stomach and gently placed his hands against it. "Oh Elizabeth I cant believe you have a baby inside you," he exclaimed, "Our baby," he corrected. "This is the happiest moment of my life he said looking back to Elizabeth's face.
"This is the happiest moment of my life too," Elizabeth said gently kissing Will's soft lips.
Will quickly pulled away as excitement filled his body. "We need to go find Jack and Jill and tell them all of our amazing news love," he said grabbing Elizabeth's hand and pulling her out the door.
Elizabeth and Will took off at a run towards Jack and Jill's cabin, they quickly knocked on the door and then let themselves in. They burst through the door and noticed Jack and Jill sitting fairly close together watching Prime on the small TV in the room, with disturbed looks on their faces. Jill took a swig from Jack's rum bottle, "Yum," she said glancing at their newly arrived guests.
Will stood behind Elizabeth and put his arms around her stomach gently.
"What brings you too lovers here so quickly this afternoon?" Jack asked Will and Elizabeth.
"We have exciting news," Elizabeth said smiling up at Will.
"We are engaged," Will said kissing Elizabeth's cheek, "And," he said looking at Elizabeth.
"We are expecting a baby," Elizabeth said with a smile.
"That's amazing!" Jack and Jill said together, "We will have to celebrate tonight."
"Meet us at the bar at 7," Jack said with a twinkle in his eyes as he thought of all the rum he could drink.
"Alright," Will said turning to leave with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth and Will were slowly making their way to their cabin when Elizabeth gently led Will to the ships deck. They walked to the railing surrounding the ship and leaned up against it, admiring the view of the setting sun. Will put his arm around his future wife's waist as she rested her head on his shoulder.
"I can't believe we are going to be the proud parents of a little baby in 9 months," Will said with a smile on his face.
"It's amazing isn't it," Elizabeth said looking up at Will as the sun dipped below the horizon.
"We should probably get going to the bar to celebrate the beginning of our great life together," Will said turning around with Elizabeth still in his arms.
When they entered the bar Jack and Jill were already there with a once full bottle of rum that was now only ½ full. Will and Elizabeth walked over and sat down beside them.
"Can I get you anything tonight?" the bartender asked Elizabeth and Will.
"Can I have an iced tea?" Elizabeth replied.
"And can I have a nice cool beer?" asked Will.
"Sure," the bartender said brining their drinks seconds later.
As they continued talking they also continued drinking, loosing track of how much they had actually drank.
After drinking ½ a bottle of rum himself Jack got up and ran out of the bar. Jack ran up to the ships deck and began stumbling around too drunk to realize what he was doing.
Back at the bar Jill, Will and Elizabeth started talking about Jill's relationship with Jack.
"How are you and Jack?" Elizabeth asked looking at Jill.
"We are ok I guess," Jill replied with a small frown on her face.
"What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked Jill knowing she was not telling the full truth.
"It's just…" Jill paused, "I like Jack, and I want to get to know him better, but I don't think he likes me."
"I think I should go check on Jack," Will said getting up, "Jill, I am leaving you responsible for making sure Elizabeth stays safe while I'm gone."
"Yes sir," Jill said saluting Will.
As Will left the bar and reached the ships deck he began prancing around out of complete happiness for his fiancé and his unborn child.
As Jack continued stumbling around he tripped over what appeared to be a whale harpoon. He picked up the whale harpoon and pretended to be a whale hunter shooting whales.
Just then Will appeared, "Jack what on earth are you doing?" he asked, "Put that thing down and come back to the bar," he said calmly.
Suddenly Jacks pretending went a little too far. He accidentally pulled the trigger and the harpoon shot right into Will's chest.
"No!" Will yelled as he collapsed in pain hitting his head off the railing of the ship on his way down.
Instantly a witness started yelling running down to the bar where most of the passengers were.
"Oh my god someone just got hit with a whale harpoon, someone get a doctor," he frantically yelled.
Elizabeth looked up in worry as she had a very bad feeling about this in the pit of her stomach. She quickly got up and ran to the crowd of people surrounding Will's body.
"Is he alive?" she heard voices saying as she pushed her way to the front of the crowd.
When she reached the body lying limply on the deck she felt like her insides were being ripped out of her body as she collapsed to the ground sobbing beside her future husband and the father of her child. Will's unconscious body laid ghostly while in a puddle of blood beside a devastated Elizabeth.
