This took me so long to finally write. I'm sorry but I just wasn't sure where to go. I hope you all like it.

" Answer me!" Demanded Will as he stepped closer to Jack.
Elizabeth ran towards Will and got in front of Jack. " Will, don't do this, please!"
" You're protecting him? I should've known." Said Will through gritted teeth.
Jack peered from behind Elizabeth at Will, and he saw. " How could you do this Jack? You were supposed to be my friend. I now realize you were nothing but a dirty pirate. Were you even going to claim responsibility for this child? Or were you going to let me think it was mine, while you claimed to the waters and sailed, looting the lots and gallivanting off in Tortuga?" Will asked incredulously.
Elizabeth turned around to face Jack for his answer, and looked at him. She wanted to hear the truth.
" Listen mate, you and Elizabeth were not together. Besides the fact there was a lot of rum involved let it be known we were not in right state of mind." Jack said trying to convince Will.
" Yes, Jack's right. Will, I didn't even remember that night!" Elizabeth pleaded.
Will just stared at Jack waiting for him to answer the rest of his questions.
" And, if I had known Elizabeth was even carrying a child, I would have returned. I returned as soon as I heard you were getting married. Trust me Will, I may be a rotten pirate, I would want to see me child." Jack said truthfully.
Will glared at him, and then said, " Why did you come when you heard of Elizabeth and I's engagment? You did not know she was with child." Will said and then it looked as though he had an epiphany, " You came because you wanted to stop the wedding! What you said, on the fort that day you escaped! That you and Elizabeth would have never worked out, I thought you were only being pompous. Thinking you could actually have her. You want her though? Don't you?" Will said angrily.
" Will, listen. I'm sorry. In no way did I mean for this to happen." Jack pleaded.
" Why wouldn't you have told me in the first place? Elizabeth doesn't remember, but you did!" Will asked infuriated.
" Will, would it have done much good? We would be in this very situation here." Jack said knowingly.
" Yes, but we would not be all awaiting to be killed!" Will said outraged.
Triton came over to where the three of them stood. " This be enough! I will not have blood shed early! Now, back to where you were!" He yelled icily.
The three obeyed and went back. Triton laughed deeply and said, " Not that this was not entertaining. Elizabeth, I am wondering myself, as probably these gentlemen are too. Who are you going to choose?"
" Excuse me?" replied Elizabeth confused.
" Between Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Turner. Mr. Sparrow is the father of your child; you did have a wild night of passion with him. And the desire you have for each other only in your dreams can it be let free. Isn't that right Elizabeth? Lying next to dear Mr. Turner, you dream about the one that got away, Captain Jack Sparrow calling out his name in the throws of passion that you dream of, when you awake you only pray your beloved didn't hear his name escape from your lips. And the kind Mr. Turner. He's been your love since childhood. You always dreamed of having a family with him, but never dreamed it would come true because he was a simple blacksmith, now that, that can happen, you don't want it to. I know, Elizabeth. I know you desire the roguish pirate that haunts your sleep." He bellowed to her.
Elizabeth just turned to both men as they both shot her looks of surprise.
" Will…Jack…" Elizabeth started.
Will came forth to Elizabeth and took hold of her arm roughly, " You want this, this pirate?" he inquired icily.
" I don't know Will." Elizabeth said tears escaping from her eyes.
" Well I do! Go ahead, Elizabeth! Be with your pirate and your bastard child! Just don't come returning to me when he leaves you and your child to die on some Island once he's found a new wench!" Will hollered at her.
" Will, please!" Elizabeth begged but Will wouldn't hear of it.
" Enough with this delay!" shouted Triton.
But Jack decided to escape out of this one. He grabbed the golden trident and pricked himself with it. He then grabbed Elizabeth away from Will and proceeded out into the water to swim to the surface.
" Men! Stop them!" Triton beckoned to his minions.
Jack fought off as many as he could, before he was cut near the shoulder. He grabbed Elizabeth and brought her up on to the surface.
They welcomed the new air into their lungs as they climbed aboard the Black Pearl.
" Jack! You're hurt!" Elizabeth cried out.
" Is nothin' love." He said standing up.
" No, Jack. Here, let's get you into your quarters." Elizabeth said leading him to his room.
" Elizabeth, really there's no need. I've had worse, I am a pirate you know." He said smiling showing off his teeth, which intensified the word, 'pirate'.
" Still Jack, I don't want you in pain." Elizabeth said sadly, gathering cloths.
" I'm not in any pain!" exclaimed Jack but Elizabeth shot him a look like she knew better.
Jack through up his hands in defeat and laid down on his bed. Elizabeth came over to him and removed his shirt. Jack's breathing quickened as she ran her hand across his chest.
She cleaned the wound with the cloth and noticed how late it was. Jack looked very weathered and tired and Elizabeth decided it was time for bed.
She pulled the blankets up around Jack and said goodnight and was about to walk out the door when Jack said, " Uh, love, I'm not sure if you'll take me up on me offer, but, If ya like you can sleep in the bed here with me. Unless you'd rather sleep with the rest of the crew, but I'll doubt it'd be as comfortable."
Elizabeth nodded and laid down next to Jack in the bed. She inhaled his intoxicating scent that she had only remembered in dreams and fell asleep.

Jack awoke to a sound. It was small and he opened his eyes to see Elizabeth beside him. He instinctively put his arm around her and placed his hand on her stomach. She flinched and turned to face him when he saw that she had been crying.
" Elizabeth, what's wrong darling?" He said as he pulled his hand away from her and noticed she was staring at him. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, love." He said regarding him touching her.
A small " No," was all she could choke out, " I can't believe Will's gone. We left him to die! It's my entire fault. I'm wretched." She said, more tears falling from her red eyes.
" No, no. You aren't. Will didn't die. I gave the blood; Triton has his necklace's back. There would be no need for him to kill Will. I am sure the minions, once they turned human took him aboard their ship. It wasn't our fault, Elizabeth." Jack said soothingly.
" Will was so angry with me. He doesn't love me anymore, he doesn't want to be with me. He'd rather sail away on ships then stay with me. I always knew I'd condemn him. Well know your free Will Turner!" She spat out fiercely.
" Elizabeth, it'll be alright." Jack said bringing his hand up to her cheek.
She looked at him with big brown eyes and said, " Will it really be Jack? How can you promise that?" She said inching closer to him, the space between them disappearing.
" Well…" He coughed out trying to avoid the subject they were getting closer and closer, " I know. I know you Elizabeth, You'll be strong, and so will your child." He smiled a tight-lipped smile.
" Our child, Jack." She corrected him. And his smile grew wider, yes that was the word he was looking for.
" Oh yes, Elizabeth." He said leaning down kissing her slightly on the lips, then breaking away. He gave her an apologetic glance and laid back down to sleep.
Elizabeth sighed as she looked at the sleeping pirate next to her. She could still feel the heated burn on her lips where he had kissed her. She wanted to kiss him back but, she felt as though it was wrong. She heard Jack's deep breathing signaling his was asleep and she traced his features along with her index finger, imagining what their child would look like.
She fell asleep with a smile on her face, once again breathing in his intoxicating exotic scent.
