**********************
Later that night, Elizabeth dressed in a lovely outfit, this time of course without the corset. Will changed into something a bit more presentable, and helped Elizabeth button the back of her dress. He wrapped his arms around her, resting his hands on her abdomen. He still couldn't believe it. A baby! Elizabeth knew what he was thinking through the expression on his face. She turned around and kissed him.
"Shall we go?" she said.
"Off to yonder dining room!" Will teased.
Elizabeth smiled and they headed out the door. Will stopped her at the top of the stairs. He grinned a mischievous grin, and then swooped her off her feet, and carried her down the stairs. She of course was unsure at first, and then smiled wide. At the bottom of the stairs, still holding her, he kissed her. Commodore Norrington entered the room at that moment. His eyes widened.
"Elizabeth." he said. "How wonderful to see you." He completely ignored Will, a common thing he did, for he did after all, despise him. Will set Elizabeth down.
"And?" she said.
"And? .... And? Oh! You look marvelous tonight!" He of course knew what AND? was, but he didn't feel like addressing Will.
Elizabeth's smile wiped away, and she took Will's hand and continued into the dining hall. It was decorated as much of the homes were then, a very Aristocratic surrounding. After all, her father was the Governor of Port Royal. She stopped and kissed her father on the cheek, and said hello to many of the guests whom, Will did not know many of.
Soon Governor Swann took his place, and tapped on his glass.
"Welcome everyone! I am so very happy you could all make it tonight. I haven't seen my friends in so long, I thought I would invite you all to this little get together. Many of you remember our last meeting, at my daughter, Elizabeth's wedding. That was just over a year ago. Congratulations to them!"
The Commodore looked as though he might explode. He wanted Elizabeth. He would get her somehow.
"I do however think that we have heard enough talk, you must all be starving, I know I am. So, let's eat."
He rang a little golden bell to his right, and the servants started bringing out row after row, of marvelous food. Some of it Elizabeth could not have eaten, so she was very glad that her father had provided a very large variety. She picked out things here and there, larger quantities of some things than others. She was still very tired. She hoped the evening would not last too long. After they had finished eating, she looked over at her husband, who told her he was going to go outside for a breath of fresh air, being that the room was rather stuffy with people. She agreed it was a good idea, and she sat talking to one of her father's old colleague's who had been around quite often when she was little. She sat launched in conversation, when she noticed that the Commodore was not in the room with the guests. Growing worried, she excused herself, and went to find Will. She walked outdoors, and a little towards the old oak trees that Will loved so much. She stopped suddenly when she saw a man kicking a figure on the ground. She knew the figure. It was Will!
She ran as fast as she could to her husband. Commodore Norrington stood above him with an evil look in his eyes. His jealousy had gone too far. He was no longer the man that she knew as a child, but a vengeful, hate-filled man. Will pushed himself onto his knees when she reached him. He was battered and bruised, but he would not fight his attacker. He did not want to start a life long fight with a anyone, let alone a Commodore. He did not want that stress on Elizabeth.
"NORRINGTON! YOU.... YOU.... HOW DARE YOU BEAT AN INNOCENT MAN! AND MY HUSBAND NONE THE LESS! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!"
"Elizabeth, please, calm down. Don't-" Will grunted.
But it was too late. She was already fully enraged and frightened that her husband was worse than her appeared.
"OF ALL THE LOW DOWN ROTTEN THINGS TO DO! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BARBARIC BEHAVIOR!"
"Elizabeth... don't..."
"I HAVE THE MIND TO-"
Elizabeth clenched her stomach and bent over in pain. Panting rapidly she started to cry. How could she have let herself get so angry. She was told to stay away from fights. No arguments. Now she had put her baby in danger, her husband was hurt, and she was writhing in pain. She let out a yell of anguish, and clenched her fists on the ground below her. The Commodore stood confused, not knowing what was going on, or why Elizabeth seemed to be in complete pain. Will crawled quickly to his wife. The Commodore tried to help her, but she screamed up at him.
"DON'T..... TOUCH.............ME!"
"Commodore! Get Dr. Jacobsen immediately! Tell him you got her extremely upset and it is worse than before! GO!! GO!!"
Will gathered all the strength remaining in his body, and picked up his wife gently. Elizabeth was now pulling at her hair and Will didn't want her causing any more pain for herself, so he led her hands to his chest, letting her claw at him. He carried her inside the house, where her father and others were waiting.
"We heard the noise. What's happened? What's wrong with Elizabeth? Who hurt you?" asked Governor Swann.
"We need to get her to her room! We need to get her isolated and give her the medication on the dresser. The large bottle," he said to her father, "4 teaspoons. You get it while I try and make her as comfortable as possible."
Her father nodded. He was completely lost and scared for his daughter. The two ran up the stairs, leaving behind very flustered guests.
