****************************
The next morning Will awoke, and kissed his still sleeping wife on the fore-head, gently so not to wake her. He walked over to the wardrobe and pulled out some fairly nice, yet casual attire for himself. He wanted to look nice when they told Elizabeth's father and the others. He also thought of the green envy that the Commodore would have on his face. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He didn't much care for the Commodore, though he had let him off the hook. He supposed a great deal of why he did let him off was because of the Swann's, both Elizabeth and the Govenor. He knew that inside the Commodore despised him, and that made Will fancy teasing him all the time.
After dressing, Will kissed his wife's forehead once more, pulled the sheets up, for it was rather chilly that morning, and went downstairs for breakfast, letting his exausted wife, and mother-to-be, sleep peacefully and as long as her heart desired.
He entered the kitchen, tired still himself, and saw the Govenor sitting and eating eggs and bacon, and reading a book out of the rather large library. The Govenor looked up.
"Goodmorning Will! How are you this morning?"
"Tired sir. But happy none the less. And you?"
"Oh I am quite refreshed thankyou. Had a most wonderful evening."
Will suddenly felt just a tad bit of jealousy at what this man was saying. He felt as though he wouldn't have that kind of sleep for a very, very long time.
"Where uh... is Elizabeth? She is supposed to come down at this hour every morning. I so wanted to talk to her. I shall go wake her..."
"No!" Will jumped out of his seat. "I mean uh...." he looked slightly embarassed, and he looked at the shocked Govenor. "I mean... she had a rough night. Didn't feel well. Dr. Jacobsen is coming shortly. Until then, I prefer to let her sleep. She quite derserves it."
"Alright my boy. I was going to say, I shall go wake her....with your permission." he said smiling at the prospect of this boy being so protective of his daughter. He had to admit at one point he thought Will was not enough for his daughter. He would have much preferred the Commodore. But over time he had come to know Will as a son, and he was very happy with his daughter decision.
Will turned even more red with embarassement. He looked around a moment, and then said,
"So what is it for breakfast then?"
The Govenor smiled as the maid brought out Will's food. After Will had finished, which was quite soon due to his exitedness, he heard someone at the door, and the Butler, Ryan as they called him, answered it. It was Dr. Jacobsen.
"Goodmorning Will!"
"Morning Doctor."
The doctor lowered his voice.
"Judging by the size of the smile on your face, she did tell you then?"
Will nodded.
"Ah... well, I would let her sleep longer, but I do have other things to do today, so I must hurry along. If you do need me though, I will be in the Northern part of town, checking on some of the people there. Well..... shall we go up?"
"One thing doctor..."
"Hmm...."
"Do I have to stay outside again?"
"No... I think you need to hear what is going on too. After all you are part of this too." he leaned over and whispered, "Right Daddy?" and nudging him with his elbow, he went up the stairs. Will smiled, and ran after him.
Elizabeth smiled at them as they opened the door. Will ran to her kissing her gently.
"How are we today 'Lizabeth?"
"Much better, I am a bit hungry though. Well, a bit is sort of off really."
"Well, I won't be here long, you can eat after I leave. But you are not the leave the bed to go to breakfast. Have it brought to you. Now if you don't mind, I would like to do some listening and feeling again. Check up on thngs. If you would like Will, you can listen to the heart-beat."
Will smiled up at him.
"Really sir? I mean... yes sir....thank you sir."
"Quit with the formality Will. I know you better than to have to call me Sir."
He pulled out his stethascope, and starting listening, moving it around trying to find the heart-beat. When he found it, he listened a moment and then said,
"Strong and steady. Will?"
Will walked over and listened through the stethescope. He had never heard anything so beautiful in his life. The sound of his own child's heart. It pierced deep inside him, and he let out a joyful tear. Elizabeth saw it fall.
"Will?" she said worriedly.
He slowly raised his head, still listening.
"Liz, it's so beautiful. I can hear the baby's heart. I.... I love you Liz."
She smiled.
"Well," said the doctor, " I have to hurry faster than this. Will, I need to stethescope please."
Reluctantly, he gave it to him. The doctor now listened to Elizabeth's heart, and then he replied,
"Steady, and slow. Good. It isn't racing like last night. Can't have that Elizabeth. I want you to do everything you can to keep your heart rate down. We can't have it racing anymore. That means no running, no dangerous situations, try not to get overly exited, that means try and avoid arguments, and by all means, do not, Do Not, go onto a ship. If pirates came, there is no way.... and we all know how exited you get about sea and pirates."
Elizabeth looked almost angry at what the doctor said. Will knew how much she loved going out on sea, and he felt sorry for her.
"It's ok Liz. A couple of months won't be all that horrible will it? If it means keeping you and the baby safe..... Doctor? Exactly how far along is Elizabeth?"
"Three and a half months Will."
Will was flabbergasted. She was hardly showing, and, and, why would she keep it from him this long?
"How long have you known?"
"Two months."
This was too much. Why hadn't they told him? Did they not think it important?
"Why wasn't I told?"
"Because-"
Elizabeth interupted.
"Because Will.... I.... I was scared. I didn't know how to take it. I wanted to surprise you, and well, If I mis-carried, I didn't want you to be all sad Will. I don't want to hurt you. I didn't want you worrying about me now....."
Will looked up.
"Liz, you can tell me anything. Never be scared. I love you. I want to help you, to go through things together. Please tell me everything from now on Liz, please."
"Well... Elizabeth, you are doing much better from last night, and I expect you a million times better than today, tomorrow. Will, her medications I will set on the dresser, she is to take twice a day, two teaspoons, and the large bottle at the other end is for when she goes through things like last night. She is to take that right away if that happens, 4 teaspoons, and then you are to send someone after me, Understood?"
Will nodded.
"Thankyou doctor." he said.
"Your welcome lad, your welcome. Take care Elizabeth. I mean what I said. Will, make sure she listens alright?"
"Yes I will."
"Right, well I am off. Call for me if you need me."
"Bye doctor."
"Goodbye Will, Elizabeth, I will send up the maid with breakfast for you Elizabeth." and with that, he walked out the door, and down the stairs.
Elizabeth turned away from her husband. She could tell she had hurt him, and she didn't want to face that. She had done exactly what she had been trying not to do. Will looked to her. He placed his hand upon her face and turned it toward him.
"Elizabeth, why do you turn from me?"
"I... don't mean to Will.... I just... I didn't want to hurt you, I ...."
"Shh.... don't get exited. It's alright. I understand. Liz, just think of now, and the future ahead of us. We have the world Liz."
"You... your not... angry with me?"
"Liz, I am the happiest man in the world. How could I be angry with you? I love you. Do you forget?"
He bent down and placed gentle kisses on her lips, as if in reminder. At that moment, it was as if all her pain and stress fled from her, and all there was in the world, was this man in front of her. She gently started kissing him back, and he felt how much she wanted to make him happy. She reached her arm up and started running her fingers through his hair, all the while kissing him. Just then the maid came in.
"Good 'eavens! O' miss, I didn' mean to be sneekin', I was jus' bringin' your breakfast that I was. O' I am sorry miss."
"It's alright." said Elizabeth breaking the kiss. "There's no harm done."
"Right miss. I will jus' leave this 'ere, and leave ya miss."
The maid sat down the tray and quickly left the room, shutting the door swiftly behind her.The couple started to laugh at what had just happened. Will walked over to the tray, picked it up, and brought it to his wife. She smiled greatfully as her stomache roared. She looked at the food in front of her.
"What would you like first Mrs. Turner?" said Will.
"The eggs look nice Mr. Turner." she said with a giggle.
"The eggs it is."
He lifted the fork, and picked up a part of the eggs. Then he fed it to his wife. She looked up greatfully. He loved feeding her. To him it was another way that he could serve her, which was his favorite thing to do.
After she had finished her breakfast, he turned to her again.
"So, when are we going to tell your father?"
"Well, my father is hosting a dinner tonight, and he has asked us to attend. Everyone we want to know, exept of course, Jack, will be there."
"CAPTAIN Jack." Will corrected.
"Captain." she giggled.
