A/N: Sorry for the wait again. I hope you enjoy this chapter. Please do not hate me. Please? Okay, well, thanks for the reviews!!! I love them. Let's see what Bill gives Will shall we?
*******************************
The sun rose is bright beautiful colors. Bill woke and dressed. He walked up the steps below onto the main deck of the Black Pearl. The sunrise had never been so beautiful he thought. He took the small oak box out of his jacket pocket.
"We need to get ye to Will before they leave the house." he spoke aloud.
"Who ye talkin' to?" asked Gibbs.
"No one. Just talkin' to meself." answered Bill.
Gibbs rolled his eyes and walked away.
It was still fairly early in the morning, and Bill took his time walking to his son's home. He enjoyed being in a place where the sun shone and the birds sang. It had been a long time since he had been somewhere considered to be "civilized."
While Bill did indeed love the ocean, he loved the land as well. His wife had always loved the land. That was the reason she had stayed behind when he left on the ocean. He had always begged her to come with him, but she was afraid of the water, and she never would. He had started out as a merchant to make ends meet, and then he became a pirate. He never thought of himself as a good pirate. He had too much of a conscience. He never did like killing people, in fact he never did unless it was in complete self defense. He preferred knocking them unconscious. The other pirates always thought him to be pathetic. Jack had always told him he may not be the best pirate, but that he was a good man.
"Imagine that." Bill chuckled.
After a few more minutes, he reached his son's home. He walked up to the door and knocked. The butler recognized him and let him in. The butler went up the stairs to get Will and Elizabeth. He returned a moment later.
"Mr. Turner has requested that you come up to see them. Please follow me." said the butler.
"No it's alrigh'. I know where it is." said Bill marching up the stairs.
He knocked on the door when he reached the top.
"Come in." he heard Will say.
He opened the door and walked in.
"Good morning." said Will quietly.
Bill saw that Elizabeth was still asleep.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I should have come later." said Bill.
"No it's alright. I just don't want to leave her alone. Why have you come?" said Will.
"Well, I remembered ye saying that today was yer anniversary and I brought you somethin'." said Bill.
Will was a bit surprised. He didn't think his father would get him anything.
"You didn't have to give us anything." he said.
"No, but I wanted to." said Bill as he handed Will the oak box.
Will looked at it and opened it slowly.
"I know it isn't much..." Bill trailed off focusing on the expressions on his son's face.
Will opened the box to see a small golden pendant on an old gold chain.
"It was yer mothers. She wore it all the time. It was her most prized possession. She said it was good luck. When I left, she gave it to me, and told me to wear it for protection and to remind me o' her. And that is exactly what I have done since that day. I think she would want you to have it." said Bill.
"But... you can't give me this, she gave it to you." said Will.
"I can, and I want to. I want you to have it."
"Thank you," said Will with a tear in his eye, "it means a lot to me."
Will gave his father a hug. It was the first time he could remember ever being hugged by his father.
"My but you've grown. Last time I saw ye, ye were this big." said Bill holding his hand in front of him.
"I know I've grown. I wanted to grow and be strong as Mama described you."
"I wasn't strong boy. If I could go back I would do things differently, I hope you know that." said Bill.
Elizabeth opened her eyes.
"Good...morning..." she said stretching.
Will went over to her and kissed her.
"I best be headin' off." said Bill.
"Oh no, you don't have to leave." said Elizabeth.
"Yeah, I should. It's yer anniversary, I had a few o' those meself, ye don't want to spend it with yer father in law." he said with a chuckle. "Bye Will, happy anniversary."
"Thank you."
"Bye Elizabeth. Good luck." Bill said.
Elizabeth smiled.
When he had gone, Elizabeth asked,
"What was that about?"
"He wanted to wish us a happy anniversary. I'll tell you more later. Right now, it's my turn. Happy Anniversary Liz!" he said kissing her.
"Happy Anniversary Will." she said giggling.
"It's been a whole year Liz. Can you believe it?"
"I can. Wholeheartedly I can." She smiled. "What are we doing today Will?"
"Well, that depends. How are you feeling?"
"I can't feel any pain, not after I took whatever medicine Dr. Jacobsen gave me. Come on Will, what are we doing?"
"Nope. It's a surprise. If I tell you, it won't be any fun."
"Will! That's not fair."
"Sorry love. That's the way it is. Now I am going to go get breakfast for us. Why don't you get dressed?"
"Alright Will." she said disappointed.
"I'll be right back." he said.
He kissed his wife on the forehead, and went downstairs to the kitchen. He had asked the cook to make Elizabeth's favorite. The cook wasn't quite finished with breakfast, so Will waited and talked to the Governor, who was also waiting for his breakfast.
"Ah, good morning Will! Happy Anniversary! How are you and Elizabeth this fine morning?"
"Well. Thank you." said Will wanting to get back to Elizabeth.
He didn't know why, but suddenly a felt an anxiousness to get back. Deciding he didn't want to wait any longer, he asked the cook to send someone up with the food when it was done, and headed back upstairs. He ran up them when he heard a yell for him. He opened the door to see Elizabeth grabbing at the railing of their bed. Her contractions had started again.
"Will... get... the Doctor!"
"Are you sure this is it Liz?"
"Will... we're not going anywhere today.... my water just broke."
One of the maids walked in with breakfast.
"Send for Dr. Jacobsen immediately!" Will told her.
The maid turned and ran down the stairs.
Will ran to his wife and wrapped his arms around her, trying in any way to bring her comfort.
"Can... you... believe it Will? It's finally... happening." panted Elizabeth.
Will smiled for his wife. He was filled with the excitement of a little boy, and yet, and yet the terror of a person who may lose everything they held dear.
It seemed like eternity until the doctor showed up to Elizabeth. She wished the medicine the doctor gave her would have lasted longer. As she let out a yell of pain, the doctor entered the room.
"Tell me what's happening Will." he said.
"Her water broke, it's time." answered Will.
The doctor ran to Elizabeth.
~0~
At the same time, the maid had run to the dock to get Will's father.
"I'm looking for William Turner." she told Jack.
"What be the matter lass?" asked Gibbs.
"Elizabeth's water broke. The baby is coming. The doctor told me to get William Turner."
Bill heard her from the ship. He looked to Jack. Jack nodded. Bill ran off toward the Governor's home. Jack went and got Ana.
"Gibbs, get the poor woman some water." said Jack as he and Ana ran off after Bill.
