And everyone else who has reviewed once, or more than once, THANK-YOU!!! You may have noticed in chapter five I made a mistake. In all the other chapters Will and Elizabeth have been married for a little less than a year, and in chap. five, I said just over two. The truth is actually less than a year. Sorry. Anyway, enjoy!!!
*********************
Back at the house, Elizabeth had informed the cook that there would be a guest for lunch so to make a little more food if she would. The cook smiled and told her she would be happy to. Elizabeth returned to her husband to find Jack talking about his adventures after his escape, while drinking glassfuls of the wine in front of him. Will told him how the Commodore had been fuming the past 5 months, and how he had been working under his pay, which only made the Commodore more angry.
"It's about time someone tol' that pesky man off! He be the one who keeps tryin' to capture me. But he always seems to forget one thing. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!" added Jack.
"Hello Liz!" said Will happily as she entered.
Will walked over to the table and pulled out a chair for his wife, bidding her to sit down. She did as she was instructed.
"So, what of this difficult business?" asked Will.
Jack took a deep breath.
"Well, I was wonderin' abou' on me ship, The Black Pearl, and I came to Tortuga."
"What a surprise!" muttered Will under his breath.
"What was that Will?"
"Nothing. Continue."
"Anyway, I was in Tortuga, and I was drinkin' rum I was, Tortuga has lot's of it! Anyway lad, I was drinkin' me rum, when I thought I saw you! Only it weren't you were it? No, you were here with 'Lizabeth. So I said to myself, if that ain't the little whelp, then who is it then? And then the man went to buy some rum too, and I ask him to drink with me. We got to talkin' and he seemed somewhat familiar to me, so I ask him, I said, what be your name? And he says, who wants to know? And I said, Captain Jack Sparrow. He looked at me in disbelief, and then asked 'ow in 'eaven's name I got off that bloody island. Now 'ow did this man know about the Island I asked. You know what he said?"
"I haven't the foggiest." replied Elizabeth.
"I wasn't askin' you, I was askin' him!" said Jack. By this point, Will figured he was probably a bit drunk at the moment, and he knew he had been awfully drunk that night in Tortuga.
"I wouldn't know Jack, what did he say?"
"He said 'e was one of the crew on the Black Pearl when I was left there."
"How could that be? I thought they were all hanged?" said Elizabeth.
"No... not this one, he was betrayed by the crew too, and he had escaped. Then he hid for a while on an Island with just a few other natives. He had just recently learned of Cap'n Barbossa's death, and he came back to what he called 'is home. Now.... there was only one other betrayed by the crew, and that was-"
Will cut him off.
"Bill. Bootstrap Bill. My..... Father."
"Right you are mate... right you are.... Now, he don't know that you're here mate, nor nothin' about ya. Talked him into joinin' me crew. Weren't that hard really. Anyway, I'll leave it up to you mate, when you are ready to talk to him, tell him who you are. I just brought him here for you. We will be leaving shortly though. Couple of days. It all depends really. Just thought you'd wanna know."
Will fazed off. He couldn't believe it. After all these years, his father was alive? He looked to his wife. Her eyes were full of confusion. Shortly after that, the servants came in with their food. Will stopped thinking about what he had just learned. He didn't want to think about it. He started eating his food, and paid little to no attention to the conversation between Jack and Elizabeth. When he had finished, he stood up and walked up to his room. He walked out onto the balcony, and stared off again, thinking to himself.
His wife had left Jack to eat all he liked, and followed her husband.
"What is wrong my love?" she asked.
"All my life, I had to live without a father. Now he is back, and I suddenly have one again. If he was alive for all these years, why didn't he come searching for me? You heard Jack, he doesn't know I am here, how do we know he even cares?"
Elizabeth took a deep breath and replied,
"There is only one way to find out love. Only one way. If you wish, we can go together."
"I couldn't go without you."
"I would be fine for that long Will and you know it."
"No... I mean, I need you there, as my support. And if he did want anything to do with me, he would want to meet my wife, and know that, well that your..."
Elizabeth smiled. Will had the hardest time saying pregnant and baby. He felt as though it was inappropriate for him to brag, yet that was all he wanted to do.
"Alright Will. Do you want to go tonight?"
"No. I... want to wait a while. I need some time."
Elizabeth decided to change the subject.
"On a lighter note, our anniversary is in three days. Next Monday."
Will smiled and kissed his wife.
"That's right Liz, our first Anniversary."
