After a restless night trying to sleep. I finally gave up around three in the morning. I headed down to the smithy to finish a few orders. A little after six I locked up the door to the smithy.
I headed up the stairs to the flat. My mind was consumed with thoughts the baby that could or could not be my. A large part of me wanted the baby to be mine. I would the little one's father if I was or wasn't their biological father.
I put the kettle on to make a cup of tea. Elizabeth had bad morning sickness. I recalled Carina had been the same when she was pregnant with Abigail and Ivy.
"Uh that one thing I'm hate about being pregnant bloody morning sickness" Elizabeth looked worst for where
"This should help" I set a steaming mug of tea in front her.
"Thanks. God what's in that"
"Mint, ginger, honey and lemon. Carina swore by it when she was pregnant with the twins. She had pretty bad morning sickness as well" I answered starting on breakfast.
Elizabeth got on sniff of a bacon before she became deathly white. Racing for the bathroom to empty her stomach once again.
I held her hair out of the way she was vomited.
"Bloody hell this pregnancy has just started and I'm already sick of this vomiting"
"Doctor will probably give us anti nausea tablets to help with the morning sickness. I guess bacon's off the menu at least till the morning sickness goes" I helped her to her feet.

The drive to the Doctor's Office was quite. Neither of us knew what to say or really wanted to talk. We checked in with reception and went to take a seat and wait for Elizabeth to be called to see Doctor Monroe.
Time to see tick by more slowly as we waited to be seen by the doctor. I checked my phone for messages or emails to pass the time. There was an email from Aidan, Henry and my older half brother.
He was on deployment in Kenya for the last few months he was due back in a month or so. He and his family lived in Tidworth.
The discovery about Aidan had been the last straw from mine and Henry's parents marriage. The divorce had a bitter one. Dad rekindled his relationship with Aidan's mum Stephanie.
Matthew, Dalton, Morgan and Aeron followed in the years since they reunited and married.
Henry and I's mother had remarried. Henry got on with her better then I did. I guess I was too much like Dad for her liking. She didn't approve of me dropping out of school at sixteen to enlist in the Royal Marines.
"Elizabeth Swann" Doctor Monroe called.
"That's us" I mused as we both got up from our seats follow Doctor Monroe through to the consultation room.
"So what can I do for you both today" Doctor Monroe asked sitting at his desk.
"For the last few days I haven't been feeling the best. I thought I had a stomach bug then I realised I was late. I took three pregnancy test yesterday they all said that I was pregnant.
I made an appointment to see you today just be sure. Then this morning I was feeling ill at the mere smell of raw bacon" Elizabeth explained.
"Alright. We'll take a blood sample and urine sample for starters just for confirmation that you are pregnant. I take it seeing as Will is here that he is the father" Doctor Monroe turned to me.
"I'm not sure who the father is. It ever my ex James or Will"
"Alright well the only way we possible narrow down how many weeks along you are is by an ultrasound if you are pregnant. But we'll wait until we have the results back from the tests"
I waited out in the waiting room while Elizabeth had the tests done. To pass the time I wrote an email to Aidan.
Finishing up the email. My phone dinged with a message from Henry. He wanted to know if I was able to babysit the twins as he and Carina where having a date night. I texted back that I would baby sit my nieces.
Henry and I where texted back and forth while I waited for Elizabeth to finish with her test to see wither or not if she was pregnant.
I glanced up as someone came into the corner of my eye. It was Elizabeth now finished with the tests. I sent Henry a message that I would talk to him later.
"When will we get the results" I asked getting to my feet
"Sometime today. Doctor Monroe put a rush on the tests. If the tests come with the same results as the pregnancy tests I had yesterday. He's booked an ultrasound for late this afternoon"
"As long as we're back by six. Henry's dropping Abigail and Ivy over. He and Carina are having a date night. I guess Hector or Dad can't watch the girls so we're babysitting."I explained.

I was in the office paying a few bills ordering supplies for upcoming orders. I glanced up when someone cleared their throat.
"What did Doctor Monroe say" I looked up.
"He confirmed I am pregnant. He's booked the ultrasound for three this afternoon" It was just after one in the afternoon.
"Alright I'll finish up here then we'll headed there for the ultrasound" I answered

Elizabeth sat nervous as they waited to be called in for the ultrasound. She was scared to find who it was the baby of her unborn child. Part of her wanted it to Will's child. Without his support she didn't know how she would have gotten through the last twenty four hours.
"You alright" I noticed that Elizabeth was nervous.
"Yes just nervous and scared"
"That's a good thing I suppose. Who ever child it is I will be here with you all the way."I reminded her
"Thank you Will"
"Elizabeth Swann" We where called in for the ultrasound.
"Alright Doctor Monroe made notes on your file for us to double check how many weeks you are to work out who the father is" The technician mussed as she got things ready for the ultrasound.
"This may be a little cold" They'd put some gel on her stomach "Alright let see what we've got here"
"Well looks like your about six weeks by the size of fetus. And they have a very strong heartbeat."Till the day I die I would never forget sound of hearing my child heart beat for the first time. The fetus looked to be something the size of tadpole.
"Everything alright"
"Your baby is perfectly healthy and developing nicely. I can use pictures done if you want or did you want to wait till the twelve week scan."She asked.
Elizabeth and I shared a look "We'll wait till the twelve week scan" We'd silently agreed.

My mind was still spinning at the news I was going to be a father. The next six weeks would be nerve racking. There was a increased risk we could still lose the baby before we could tell everyone about them at twelve weeks.
I was in the middle of getting dinner ready. I heard Dutchmen barking as a car pulled around the back.
"You two be careful up those stairs" I heard Henry call after the twins as they raced each other up the stairs.
"Uncle Will" Abigail and Ivy raced around the bench to where I stood.
"Ah be careful I got hot stuff cooking here that can burn you so no running in the kitchen alright" Bloody hell I already sounded like a dad and my child wasn't even born yet.
"Ok Uncle Will do we still get a hug"
"Yes you can. Then go and put your stuff down in your room" I hugged them both before they raced off down to their room.
"You'd be a good Dad" Carina gave me a pointed look.
"He's got to find a woman first" Henry cut in.
"I'll have kids when the time comes" It was coming sooner then Henry or the rest of family thought it would. Me become a dad I mean.
