Chapter 23

9 Months later

The next month had gone by fast. But the baby was going to be here any time. Will and Nicole had to be ready for anything.

That morning Nicole was starting to go into labor. Will told Jack to fetch a doctor. He wanted to stay home and make sure that she was going to be alright until the doctor came.

Her pains were starting to get worse by the minute. And by that afternoon, Will was asked to leave the room so the doctors could do their thing. He didn't want to argue with them. He knew that they were doing,so he left the room without a word.

"How is she?"asked Jack as Will stepped out of the room and closed the door.

"She's in a lot of pain. But I don't blame her."

"She won't give up."

"No. She can't. She knows she can't. She's gone too far now."

"Will?"

"Yes Jack?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For staying by her side. This means a lot to me."

"Well,you know I can't leave her. And I never will. I love her too much. I love her more than life itself."

"What about the child?"

"What do you think Jack?'

"I think I know the answer."

"Will?"asked the doctor as he poked his head through the door.

"Yes?"he asked.

"Nicole will see you now."

As Will stepped in the room he couldn't help but smiling. In the bed lay Nicole,and their new child.

"Oh my god,"he whispered.

"Would you like to see your son?"asked Nicole.

He walked over and saw what he never thought he would see in his life. There in the blanket lay his son,who was nestled up on his mother's breast sleeping.

"What should we name him?"

"We already have."

"What?"

"You already did. We were going to call him William Turner III.'

"Right."

"He looks just like you."

He sat on the bed and kissed her. "He looks like you too."

"Thank you so much Will."

"I love you."

"Love you too."

"Well?"asked Jack as he stood in the doorway. "Boy or Girl?"

"Boy. We're going to call him William Turner III."

"You had better hope that he doesn't foot on my ship."

"I don't think he will Jack."

"Good. Because then I'm going to have to tell him about you. And I don't want to do that with another William Turner. Especially if he looks just like you."

"That's fine Jack."

"Well,I had best be leaving then."
