Chapter 16

5 months later

It had been a month there was still no sign of Jack. Will knew that they needed to stay here. Jack was going to be fine. The only thing he needed to worry about right now was Nicole. She was up to 5 months now. 4 more months and she would be having their child. I've got to stay here,he thought. And so does Nicole.

"But we need to find him,"said Nicole. "He could be dead."

"Nicole please.you and I need to stay here were it's safe. Plus I think it was smart for him to leave."

"Why?"

He sighed. "Because he could've gotten killed."

"It's because he's a pirate right?"

"Yes. The wedding was a whole different story."

"Oh god."She sat down on the bed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I thought you knew."

"No. He never told me. I guess that's another reason why he left me here. And that explains him going through the dark alley."

"Are you going to be ok?"

"Yes. Thank you for telling me Will."

He put his arm around her should and kissed her cheek. "It's going to be ok love."

"But what if he doesn't come back?

"Oh I think he will. He wouldn't want to miss this for the world,as so he told me."

"I'm still worried about him though."

"He's Captain Jack Sparrow. He's going to be fine."

She sighed. "I know. I should stop worrying. He's never been there for me until now."

"Because now he realizes that he has to care."

"But still.if I wasn't having this baby he wouldn't care."

"Nicole."

"He wouldn't Will."

"But he left you here for a good reason."

"But that doesn't change anything."

He sighed. He didn't want to arrgue with her. He knew what she was going through. Ok,so maybe he didn't. But he remembered when he was a little boy. He probably would've died if he had been drifitng on that raft any longer. At least Jack didn't leave her to die.

"Will?"

"I'm sorry. I was just thinking about something."

"What?"

"Nothing. But Nicole,you need to realize something. At least he didn't leave you out there to die. I almost did." He looked like he was going to cry or something.

"Will?

"But I don't think I should talk about it."

"No. Please do."

"All I can remember is this ship blowing up and me being left for dead. I almost died on this raft. And then I was rescued. Then I met your father and he told me about my father. At least you have a past,because I don't."

She sighed. She didn't want to say anything. She knew that Will was right. At least Jack hadn't left her for dead. At least he knew someone could take care of her. Well,her and her child now.

"I don't want you to leave me Nicole. I'll have no idea what'll happen to you if you do."

"Ok. Then I won't leave."

"Everything is going to be ok. I promise."

"I just hope that he does come back."

"If he does care about you he will love."

"Then prove me that I'm wrong."

"I will. When the time comes." He kissed her stomach. "I want you to trust me."

"And you know that I do."

"Because I want you to. And I want you to quit worrying about Jack so much."

"Ok. I will."

"He'll come back when the time comes. That isn't now ok?"

"Ok."

He bent over and their lips met. "I love you ok?"

She nodded.

"Now let's get some sleep ok?"

"Ok."

He kissed her stomach again. "Goonight love."

"Goodnight Will."
