Summary: When a plane becomes high jacked lives collide and the unexpected happens.
Over the next week Elizabeth was throwing up at least once a day and she continuously had horrible cramps but she refused to go to the doctor. She always gave the excuse that it was because of the baby.
Will finally convinced Elizabeth to go to the doctors.
Will knew she was not well since that night she threw up after dinner. Elizabeth had hardly eaten anything in the past week and Will noticed she had lost some weight.
When they reached the doctors office they sat down in the waiting room until they were called in.
Will sighed and put his arm around Elizabeth, "Oh Elizabeth I wish you would have told me something was wrong from the beginning instead of pretending it was from the baby, you're really sick, look at yourself, you're throwing up all the time, you hardly eat, you are extremely pale, and you have lost at least 10 pounds," Will said.
"Elizabeth, we're ready for you now," said the nurse.
Elizabeth and Will followed the nurse down the hall and into a room.
Elizabeth sat down on the patients bed just as the doctor walked in the room.
"Hello Elizabeth, it's nice to see you again, it's too bad you have to be in this condition," Dr. Burnett said.
"What seems top be the problem?" he asked.
"We don't really know, I think I'm fine, but Will thinks I am seriously ill," Elizabeth replied.
"Well what are your symptoms?" Dr. Burnett asked.
"I always have really bad cramps, I have a fever, I haven't eaten anything in the past week, I'm continuously throwing up, and Will said I have lost some weight," Elizabeth replied.
"When did you first begin to feel like this?" the doctor asked.
"It all began a week ago, the night we went out for dinner to celebrate Will's recovery," Elizabeth said.
"What did you eat that night?" Dr. Burnett asked curiously.
"I had the chicken stir fry," Elizabeth answered.
"Hm…well it would seem like you have quite a bad case of food poisoning," the doctor said, "Because you haven't eaten in a week and you have lost so much weight I am going to have to do an ultrasound on your baby."
"Why would you need to do an ultrasound on my baby?" Elizabeth frantically asked. "What's wrong with it?" she demanded.
"Most likely nothing is wrong with your baby Elizabeth, but because you haven't been eating well, there is a chance you could lose your baby due to malnutrition," the doctor said softly.
Tears began to fill Elizabeth's eyes, "Oh my god Will, what if I lose our baby?" Elizabeth said worriedly as the tears fell down her cheeks.
"All you need to worry about now is getting better, everything will all work out after that," Will said comforting Elizabeth.
The doctor began the ultrasound and was now looking up at the screen with a moving picture on it.
"It would appear your babies are doing fine Elizabeth, but you really should get yourself better and make sure you eat well," the doctor said smiling.
"Excuse me," Elizabeth began, "Babies?" she questioned.
"Yes babies, in 6 months you guys are going to be the proud parents of twins," the doctor said joyfully.
"Oh Elizabeth this is great!" Will said smiling from ear to ear, "I can't believe we are going to be parents, this is what I have always wanted."
"I know sweetie, this is so amazing, I still can hardly believe I have two little people inside me," Elizabeth said with her adorable smile on her face.
"Elizabeth you should really get back to your cabin so you can get better," the doctor said. "I should only take a week or two."
Will helped Elizabeth up and put his arm around her shoulder. "Thank you so much once again," they thanked the doctor as they walked out the door.
When they reached their cabin Will laid Elizabeth down on the bed and put a wet washcloth on her forehead.
"You have to get your fever down honey," Will said as he went to go get the thermometer. When he returned he put the tip of the thermometer under Elizabeth's tongue.
"Wow your fever has gone down tremendously, it is only 99 F now," Will said smiling.
Elizabeth smiled but was too tired to reply, instead she shut her eyes and fell asleep.
Will was also exhausted from hardly getting any sleep the past week. He got ready and climbed into bed beside Elizabeth and fell asleep.
Over the next two weeks Elizabeth's fever went down, her throwing up stopped, and she began eating again.
"Elizabeth I'm so glad you're better, I was so worried about you and our babies," Will said as he woke up one morning after Elizabeth was better.
"I was so worried too," Elizabeth admitted as she put her arm around Will.
Will and Elizabeth could hear someone walking back and forth down the hallway outside their door.
"Land ho!" the voice yelled.
"The ship will be reaching the Bahamas in roughly two hours, all people who are planning to get off the ship must pack their belongings and make their way to the deck."
"Honey do you want to start our lives together in the Bahamas or somewhere else?" Will asked Elizabeth as he turned towards her.
"I don't care where we start our lives, just as long as I am with you, but Bahamas would be nice," Elizabeth said looking into Will's eyes.
"Ok then, the Bahamas it is, let's pack up all of our things," Will said.
Will and Elizabeth were packing their things when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Elizabeth called out.
The door opened and Jack and Jill poked their head through it.
"We just came by to let you guys know that we are going to be getting off the ship when it reaches the Bahamas," Jill said smiling.
"That's great," Elizabeth exclaimed, "We are getting off the ship as well."
"Yes, we are going to buy a nice house and begin the rest of our lives," Will said happily.
"We will have to stay in touch when we get to the Bahamas," Jack said. "Anyways we should go finish packing and by the looks of things you guys need to finish too," Jack said as he took Jill's hand and led her out the door.
Will and Elizabeth finished packing their things and in two trips they lugged them to the ships deck.
"Will, we are finally going to have a proper life together, we will buy a house, plan our wedding, get married and I will give birth to our healthy twins," Elizabeth said hugging Will.
"It's going to be great sweetie," Will said lightly kissing Elizabeth's lips.
"How do you like the names Kristen and Zachary?" Will asked Elizabeth.
"They are perfect Will," Elizabeth said smiling, "But how do you it will be a boy and a girl?" Elizabeth asked.
"I just have a really deep feeling, trust me our twins will be a boy and a girl," Will said.
"How can you be so sure?" Elizabeth curiously asked.
"Well…I had this same sort of feeling when I first met you, I knew you were the one for me." Will said wrapping his arms around Elizabeth as he pulled her closer to him.
Elizabeth let herself melt into Will's warm embrace as she kissing his smooth lips and neck.
