A/N I hope you like Chapter 9 of my story. I really need a big burly man like Will Turner, especially when he's in At World's End. I can't be doing with all that stockings and buckled shoes malarky. I'm a pirate boots kind of girl. The Phantom of The Opera is the inspiration for the chapter title.

Chapter 9: All I Ask Of You

(Elizabeth is 4 months pregnant)

Will crawled out of bed in the early hours of the morning. He gazed round in the hope of finding his sleeping wife nestled under the duvet, she was gone from the bedroom much to his disgust.

Will slouched onto his back sleepily. "Elizabeth!" He shouted quietly. Finally, he caught a glimpse of his wife standing outside in the cool sea breeze, leaning on the balcony.

"Out here, dear" she pulled her blanket closer around her as the wind picked up. "The baby giving you trouble, again?" Elizabeth rolled her eyes as she proceeded back into the bedroom. "Nothing I can't handle, have you forgotten that I have done this before?" Will placed a warm hand on his wife's shoulder and gazed into her eyes lovingly.

Jack stirred from his small one man bed and bolted for the door, almost slipping on the rug. "Mummy, Rhianna's crying again" Elizabeth ran through their door and out onto the landing, answering Jack's call. "Be with you in a minute" Jack rushed towards Will and jumped into his wide arms. "Breakfast Jack" Will carried down the stairs as Elizabeth tended to Rhianna.

"Anna, give me a break" Elizabeth soothed her daughter calmly. Rhianna coughed softly, alarming her mother. "Will, Rhianna's coughing" Elizabeth stormed downstairs, holding her softly in her arms. Will ran through to talk through it with Elizabeth. "Are you sure, Elizabeth?" Will stared down at his sickly daughter. "Yes, listen" Will leant in closer to Rhianna's mouth. She let out a small hacking cough. "See I'm going to take her to the physician in town" Elizabeth ran to Jack and kissed atop his head delicately. "Tell me what happens as soon as you get back" Will hugged Elizabeth tightly and pecked her softly on the lips.

An hour later...

"Your daughter has a mild cold, it should get better in a couple of days. I'll prescribe some medication" Mr Walters scrawled his notes down on a scrap of paper and marched over to the medicine cabinet. "Thank you, Mr Walters" Elizabeth lifted her daughter into her arms and walked slowly towards the entrance.

"Will!" Elizabeth unlocked the front door and shouted up the stairs. "Is she alright?" Will ran through into the lobby and cradled his daughters head. "Yes, she's fine. The doctor's given us some medicine" Elizabeth handed Will the bottle of cordial. "Oh I remember this medicine, I had this when I was little" Elizabeth smiled inspiritingly. "Aww! I bet you were cute when you were a baby" Elizabeth pinched his cheeks and cooed at him. Will grabbed her hands, turned them over and kissed the palms amorously. "Like mother, like daughter" Elizabeth smiled embarrassedly.

"Will pass me the bottle please" Elizabeth placed her hands on her hips, refusing to give in to Will's games. She chased him around the table, slower than her husband, Elizabeth clutched her abdomen as she waddled after Will. "Okay, I give in. Just seeing you like this makes me want to cry" Will put the bottle down and placed a strong arm round his wife's curvy waist. Elizabeth smiled and pulled herself up using a chair. "1 millilitre every two hours" She poured the medicine onto the spoon and fed it to Rhianna, who was sleeping in her Moses basket, her head cradled by Will's strong hand. "Next one is at..." Elizabeth looked up at the grandfather clock "1 o' clock precisely"

Jack ran towards Elizabeth sunnily. "Is Rhianna alright, Mummy?" Elizabeth pulled the flyaway hair from Jack's eyes. "Yes, she's going to be fine"

Will stroked Rhianna's soft, brown hair and gazed into her hazel eyes. "Hello, my darling" Elizabeth blew softly in Will's ear alluringly. He turned swiftly and kissed his wife delicately on the top of her silken curls. "I can't begin to realise what I would do if I lost you, I would surely die " Tears trickled down her soft face, Will passed Rhianna to her mother and placed a comforting arm around Elizabeth.

"No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears, I'm here, nothing can harm you, my words will warm and calm you" Elizabeth gazed in awe of her husband's good nature. She leaned in to his warm neck and stroked his covered arm with her spare hand.

"I love you so much, Will Turner" Elizabeth put Rhianna back down in her Moses blanket and fingered her curls delicately. Will smiled at his wife's statuesque figure, looking into the mirror over the mantle. "The feeling's mutual" Will led Elizabeth and Jack outside into the garden.

"Right Jack, as I lightly swing at you, parry the blow by holding your sword vertically" Elizabeth ran out in front of them and held her hands out in protest. "Are you really sure Jack can do it?" Will held Elizabeth firmly by the shoulders. "Never been surer, he's your son, he can definitely do it" Elizabeth nodded gently. She observed them quietly, sitting down by the great oak tree. Jack held his wooden sword unsteadily over his face as Will swung at him lightly. A massive applause rang through the garden as Elizabeth sat wide-eyed. "Well done, my boy" Elizabeth disappeared into their house to fetch something.

Will and Jack waited impatiently under the shade of the grand oak tree. Elizabeth entered, wielding a great, silver sword. "Can I have a go?" Will stood up and crossed his arms. "Are you sure you can do it, with the baby?" Elizabeth nodded as she unsheathed the mighty sword. "I was the pirate king, remember" Jack stared in awe of his mother's tom-boyishness. Will gave Elizabeth his hand and led her to the flat, grassy area.

"Ready?" Elizabeth raised her eyebrow at Will's statement. "Prepare to die, Mr Turner" Elizabeth clashed her sword against his and moved it up the blade. They fought savagely around the garden, in perfect unison. Jack stood amazed as his parents laughed and ran around the lawn. "Elizabeth, you fight like a girl" Elizabeth looked around her and raised her eye brow. "I am a girl" She suddenly felt a hard surface under her bottom as she fell to the ground. "Liz, are you alright?" Elizabeth pulled herself up from the grassy yard and grasped Will's hand tightly. "I'm fine, Will, honestly" Elizabeth cupped her stomach as Will led her towards to the French doors.

"I need you to listen to me, Will" Elizabeth lay on the bed calmly. "You need to be strong for me, I am incredibly sorry if I lose this baby" Will lay beside his wife in their bed and stroked her protruding stomach. "You have nothing to be sorry for, it was an accident on my part and anyway the baby is going to be fine" Elizabeth placed her fingers to his lips and kissed them softly. "Say you love me every waking moment, turn my head with talk of summertime, say you need me with you now and always, promise me that all you say is true, that's all I ask of you" Will smiled softly at his wife. "Only if you spend the rest of your life being happy even if it means not being with me" Elizabeth placed a comforting hand on top of his. Will smiled faintly, Elizabeth stroked his arm softly and kissed his cheek. "The only way I can be happy is if you're here with me, loving me and our children"

Jack entered with Rhianna resting in his arms. Elizabeth smiled at them both lovingly. "Come in, Jack" Elizabeth gestured her little son as he waddled towards them, handed his little sister to Will and he clambered onto the crowded bed. "You were excellent today" Elizabeth ran her slender fingers through her son's dark brown hair. Jack blushed embarrassedly. "Look it's your birthday in two weeks, Liz. What do you want?" Will held her hands close to his chest as she inhaled delicately. "I don't want anything at all, you are my presents" Elizabeth looked around the room at her handsome husband, her gorgeous son and her beautiful little daughter. "My first, my last, my everything" She smiled down at her prominent abdomen and stroked it softly.

Two weeks later...

Elizabeth woke somnolently from the double bed and ran her fingers through her sun-kissed hair. "Happy Birthday!" Will opened the door with his back to her, carrying a wooden tray laden with several breakfast essentials. "Oh you didn't have to do all this for me" She put her hands to her aghast. "We didn't have to, we wanted to" Will coughed dramatically as Jack entered bearing a vase with a single flower inside. "Did you do this, Jack?" Jack nodded gleefully as he placed the amphora down on the bedside cabinet. "Where's Anna?" Elizabeth crossed her arms as Will fetched Anna from her room. "Here she is" Rhianna gurgled cutely as Elizabeth cooed at her baby daughter. "Liz, let me show you something" Will put Rhianna down on the wooden boards and held firmly onto her tiny hands. Elizabeth watched in awe as Will led Rhianna towards her with a beaming smile across his face. "Anna, you can walk with Daddy" Elizabeth picked Rhianna up in her arms and kissed her softly on her tiny stomach.

The evening grew cool and the breeze soft. Elizabeth lay on the couch out in the garden, gazing up at the bright stars. She looked down at her daughter resting peacefully in her arms. "I hope you don't mind oh I hope you mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is now you're in the world" She sung softly under her breath. Will slowly crept up towards where she was sitting. "How are my two favourite girls?" Elizabeth glanced up from her daughter and smiled gracefully. "She's fine and I'm...I'm coping" Will sat at the end of the couch as Elizabeth slid her feet up.

"I haven't given you your present yet" Will kissed his wife fervidly as she placed a hand on his broad shoulders. "What present?" Will led Elizabeth and Rhianna to the living room where Jack stood eagerly by a large box laying on the mahogany table. "Happy Birthday, Mrs Turner" Will and Jack both bowed as Elizabeth lifted the lid of the heavily decorated box. Elizabeth gasped with amazement as she raised the beautiful sapphire blue gown. "Oh it's beautiful, Will" She smiled, which Will enjoyed watching. "How much did it cost?" Will sighed heavily as Elizabeth gave him a dominating look. "That's for me to worry about" He ripped up the receipt behind his back and threw it into the embers of the fireplace. "I don't when I would wear it though, I've been stuck in the house for three weeks" Elizabeth edged herself onto the sofa sullenly, Will sat down beside his wife and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"You make it sound as it were a decade, I promise I will find somewhere you can show off your beautiful dress to everyone who'd care to look" Elizabeth leant towards Will with her hands clasped on his stubbly cheek. Jack held onto his little sister's chubby hands and walked behind her patiently. Elizabeth wiped away a happy tear as her son waddled over towards her with a great beaming smile on his face. "I'm sorry, I'm sobbing again" Will laughed at his wife's delicate state. "I have been experiencing mood swings lately" Will pulled Elizabeth towards his warm chest, her arms wrapped round his strong neck. "I can't wait till that baby's out of you, then I can do what I have wanted to since we first came back from St Maarten" Elizabeth slapped him fiercely across his chest and turned her back from him. "Are you insinuating something passionate and fiery between us sexually?" Elizabeth raised her eyebrow alluringly. "You read my mind, Mrs Turner" Will held his wife in a tight and warm embrace. Elizabeth smiled weakly, Will noticed his wife's blank expression as they separated from their amorous embrace. "Liz, I can see you're troubled by something, now if you don't tell me, I am going to have to torture you" Elizabeth laughed inattentively as she pulled her wedding ring up and down her slender finger nervously. "I'm just...apprehensive...that's all" Will placed a comforting arm around her neck and kissed it softly. "You were never this apprehensive when we had Jack or Rhianna" Elizabeth looked at her darling son exchanging glances with his baby sister. "I know but three is unlucky for some, I don't want it to be for us" Will shielded her teary eyes in his shirt. Elizabeth sobbed as her tears drained her effortfully. Will kissed her atop her light brown hair, which was sun kissed. "It won't be for us" Will smiled at his wife, his deep brown eyes shining brightly.

Elizabeth pulled the pillow from under her and hit Will hard across the face. "Oh so you want to play dirty now, do you?" Will grabbed Elizabeth by the arm and blew raspberries on her soft skin, reaching further down her torso towards her prominent abdomen. They sniggered, tears of laughter streaming from their faces. "Stop it, Will, please" Elizabeth leant over the side of the couch, giggling in hysterics. Will discontinued and pulled her up. "Jack, bedtime" Elizabeth whispered softly but paused as Will slipped the blanket over the sleeping statuettes of Jack and Rhianna, sleeping soundly next to the warm glow of the fire. "I'm going to sleep down here tonight, Will. Keep the children company" Elizabeth held the blanket over her arm and laid it down beside her sleeping children. "Are you sure, I'll be down here too" Will ran up the staircase as Elizabeth covered the floor with blankets and pillows to make the night's sleep more comfortable.

"Sleep tight, Will" Elizabeth wriggled towards the body of her husband and kissed his cheek lightly. Will smiled sleepily as Elizabeth pulled the blankets over her shivering body. The Turners slept soundly through the night as the Caribbean waves crashed up against the rocks outside Port Royal, pirates roamed the waters of the Caribbean, but none more so that the dastardly Captain Jack Sparrow.
