The unknown ship they now sailed on, slowly made an entering into the dock. Like always, Jack never paid to tie his boat off at the dock. Instead he confused the poor Warf man and they continued on their merry way. This infuriated Elizabeth even more although her returning home softened the blow. Her life will at least be normal; well, as normal as it would ever be with Jack around. She still could not quite figure out how this was going to work with Port Royal troops running around everywhere. Elizabeth decided to confront the captain, who was now barking out orders.

"Jack, where do you intend to stay for the next several months?" she asked him. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied hesitantly. "Hmm, that's a good question, love." As if waiting for an invitation for him to stay with her, he eyed her off.

"I'm not telling you, you can stay with me if that's what your waiting for." She retorted, sick and tired of him telling her what to do.

"I guess I'll just stay on the ship, the same as the crew." He said instead. Elizabeth knew that he was hurt she never invited him to say, but quite frankly at this moment, she couldn't care less. All she cared about at this present moment was keep herself and her baby safe.

Carefully, she stepped over the side of the ship and stood onto the dock. They had been sailing for days and it was a relief to her to be on land again. Leaving Jack and the crew behind, she ventured home, but not before stopping by the markets. She only ever got the few essentials to save money, not that money was an issue with her fathers funds.

Elizabeth walked up the path and into her front yard. It looks like the lawn boys had been due to the freshly trimmed grass before her. It was one less job to do later. She had left the door locked the morning she went to save Jack and she pulled the key out of her top. Unlocking the door, she stepped inside to find it just how she had left it. Putting the food away, she slipped off her shoes and then went upstairs and collapsed onto her bed.

A crumpling noise was heard beneath her head and she sat to up see a neatly folded letter. Elizabeth unfolded the letter and was surprised to see whom it was from.

Dear Elizabeth,

I dropped by to visit you, but it looks like you were still out at sea. I will be in Port Royal in a couple of weeks so we can see each other. Sorry I did not catch you this time. I hope you and the baby are in good health. Be careful.

Love Will xx

A sweet smile spread across her face and she would soon be able to see her dearly beloved….
