***********************
When they returned downstairs, Jack had just finished eating and was drinking down the little bit of wine that had been meant for Will.
"Hello mates! Say where did you go anyway? I had to drink down this lovely wine for you."
"We were just discussing Will's Father Jack."
"Lovely wine, really."
"That's nice Jack but-" said Elizabeth.
"Really, really lovely."
"Will, I don't think Jack should be aloud wine."
"I agree with you Liz. Come on Jack, let's get you back to AnaMaria."
"Poor woman." added Elizabeth.
"I heard that lass." stated Jack.

Back at the ship, AnaMaria watched for her husband. When she saw Will carrying him back, she knew he had found some kind of alcoholic drink.
"Gibbs! Get my fool of an 'usband on board! Take him down and soak him with the cold stuff eh?" said Ana.
Once Will had handed Jack to Gibbs, he started talking to Ana about the wine that Jack had at their home while they were busy. Ana laughed.
"I thought you knew him better than that."
"We were a bit distracted." said Will.
"Hey Ana?" asked Elizabeth "I wanted to go do a bit of looking around the shops in town, would you like to accompany me? It'll be just you and I."
Will looked to his wife with a questioning face.
"Without me Liz?"
"Yes Will, this will be a girls day. Sorry darling. But don't worry, Ana will take good care of me. Won't you Ana?"
"I uh... well I..."
"Oh Ana, it won't hurt your pirate reputation, it will be fun. Come on. Treating yourself is healthy." said Elizabeth.
"Oh. Alright, but only because I want to know more about what's been goin' on with you." said Ana.
Elizabeth kissed her husband goodbye, though he was reluctant to let her go, and Ana tossed Jack a loving glance, trying hard to make it unnoticed, when Jack grabbed her and pulled her into a passionate kiss. AnaMaria blushed and wiped the smile from her face.
"Fool." she mumbled.

In town Elizabeth pulled Ana into a dress shop.
"Isn't it lovely?" asked Elizabeth as she pulled a white dress embroidered with flowers and covered in lace off a rack.
"Well..." said Ana.
"Oh Ana, you don't have to pretend with me, tell me honestly what you think."
"Well, I guess it's.... it's rather lovely isn't it?"
"It is yours then." said Elizabeth Matter-o-factly.
Ana's face went pale.
"Oh no... I ain't... no... I couldn't accept...no."
"Come on, for me? Let me do something nice for you? Just think how lovely you'll be for Jack."
"Alright. For you. But don't think I am going to wear this in public."
-----An Hour Later in Elizabeth's room at Home------
"No! I am not coming out of this room! I look like an aristo!" complained Ana.
"What is wrong with looking half decent?"
"I ain't no aristo. I am a pirate and I feel silly."
"Ana, you look magnificent. I can't think of another who would suite it better."
"You would."
"I couldn't very well wear it, I am too large with this bundle of mine."
AnaMaria's face went soft, almost as if it filled with sadness. She turned away.
"Can I ask you a question? If'n you don't think it too personal mind ye." she said.
"Of course Ana, ask away."
"What is it like?"
"What like?"
"Well you know, expecting an all. What is it like?"
"Well, it is, difficult, and it can be quite painful for me, at times, but over all, it is the most wonderful feeling in the world. There is nothing like knowing that you are carrying your child, and when the baby kicks, even if it is painful, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'd give anything and everything for this child, even though it is still unborn."
"I wish.." Ana whispered turning away.
"Why don't you and Jack have a child Ana?"
"Oh... I don't know, I don't think that Jack wants a little tyke runnin' around."
"I don't know about that. I think that if you had his child, he would love that little one. But then again," said Elizabeth with a sigh, "Jack is just not sentimental at all. Some would say he is just not capable of love."
"Now wait just a minute! Jack may not seem sentimental but he has a good heart. He's a good man, an I won' let you talk abou' him like that!"
"You see Ana, you just said so yourself, and if anyone knows Jack it's you. Why don't you talk to him about it?"
"You certainly are sly for an aristo." Ana teased.
"Thank you, now about that dress-"
"No! Absolutely not. I will not wear this in public!"
----------------Back Down at The Dock--------------
Elizabeth and AnaMaria walked down the wooden planks of the docks over to the Black Pearl.
"Do you always get your way?" asked Ana.
"Yes." answered Elizabeth.
Will and Jack were talking busily on the ship and stopped talking when the girls walked up to them.
"Well I see that Elizabeth has made an aristo out of you Ana." teased Jack.
"Shut up Jack." she said annoyed.
"I think you look very nice Ana." said Will.
The crew just laughed.
Ana marched onto the ship and into her cabin. She came out a few minutes later dressed in her pirate apparel.
"Ana what did you have to do that for?" asked Jack.
"Do what?" asked Ana still annoyed.
"Change out o' that fancy dress of yers."
"Why would ye care Jack?" she said.
"Well, because," Jack walked closer to her and whispered so that only she could hear, "because you look really nice in it is all. An' the Queen o' the Pearl outta look extra special from time to time savvy?"
"Why Jack, if that ain't the sweetest thing ye have ever said to me!"
"SHH!!! Don't let it get around. We don't want people to think I'm going soft."
"Ah Jack, we all know your really a marshmellow." said Elizabeth.
"I am not! I am Captain Jack Sparrow, and I am a mean, ruthless, horrible pirate."
They all started to giggle.
"I think you have had enough time out of the house today Liz. " said Will. "If Dr. Jacobsen knew he would have me hanged. Let's get you home alright?"
Elizabeth was reluctant but she agreed. They said their goodbyes and headed on home. When they got home, they enjoyed a well cooked meal, and then went up to their room. Will and Elizabeth changed into their pajamas, and climbed into bed.
"Will?" said Elizabeth through a yawn, "what did you and Jack talk about today?"
"Well, he asked me what it felt like to be a father-to-be, and I told him. He looked sort of sad, so I asked him why he and Ana didn't have any children, and he said he didn't think Ana would want to have any children, along with the fact that being a pirate, everyone would think he had gone soft. But then the sadness returned to his eyes. I think he really does want a child." Will paused in thought for a moment. "What did you and Ana do today?"
"We shopped, and Ana and I had the same conversation you and Jack did. It looks like-" she said through a yawn, "like they both want the same thing."
"And I want you to go to sleep."
"I'm not tired." said Elizabeth, yawning again. "Would you pour me some water Will?"
Will smiled and walked over to the nightstand and poured Elizabeth a glass of water. He walked back over to her and went to hand her the water when he noticed that she was already sleeping peacefully. He chuckled slightly, and took the water glass back over to the nightstand. Then he crawled into bed next to her and kissed her lips gently, so he would not wake her. For someone who wasn't tired, she sure fell asleep quickly, he thought. And with a smile he fell into peaceful slumber next to the woman he loved.
