Chapter 25

What am I going to do,Will thought before he opened the door to the bedroom. I know that I need to stop thinking about Elizabeth...but she was my first wife after all. I loved her so much. But life is different for me now. Elizabeth is gone and Nicole is my wife now. I've been over this a million times now. I just don't know how to get Elizabeth out of my head.

Will decided that the best thing to do was not to go into the bedroom. He was scared that Nicole might still be awake and throw a fit over what he had said earlier.

I know it was stupid that I didn't tell her earlier. But what was I supposed to do? I feel terrible about lying to her though... I love Nicole so much. She maybe Captain Jack's Sparrow's daughter...but she isn't like him at all. Maybe that's why I love her so much. I think I just need to tell her what is wrong with me and then maybe that'll help me get Elizabeth out of my head once and for all.

He opened the door, but Nicole was already asleep. He didn't want to wake her up so he walked quietly to bed. But by the time he had gotten there, Nicole's eyes were already starting to flutter open.

"Will...?"she asked.

"I'm here love. Listen, I'm sorry about what happened earlier."

She sighed. "I shouldn't be mad at you. I should be mad out our son for not telling the truth."

"But you should be mad at me because of the way I acted on the ship. I should have just told you what was wrong."

"It's all right Will. I forgive you."

"It's not that easy Nicole."

"Oh really?"

He buried his head in his hands and then set his hands on his lap and looked at her. "I just wish there was some way I could get her out of my head. You're my wife now and I need to stop thinking about her."

Nicole knew who he was talking about. "I know it's hard for you Will. She was your first wife after all."

"I know. But you're my wife now and I love you."

"I love you too Will. Why don't you get some sleep and we can talk about this tomorrow."

"Yes. That doesn't sound good."

She sighed and smiled. "I can't wait to see our daughters. It's been so long since I've held them."

"You think that miss us that much?"

She laughed. "I don't know. Maybe getting away for a while was a good thing I guess."

He bent over and kissed her forehead and got into the sheets next to her. "I love you Nicole."

"I love you too Will."

And with that both of them went to sleep.
