Chapter Five~ A New Life Full of Surprises

The Next morning, Elizabeth woke up sweating with fear.

"Will!" she shouted. The sudden sound of her voice woke Jack up. He came up behind Elizabeth, wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered,

"Good Morning Love." While Jack was caressing Elizabeth's neck with his lips, he realized that something was wrong.

"What's the matter babe?" he asked.

"Will!...what if her heard us last night?"

"Relax love, we weren't that loud"

"Jack!" Elizabeth snapped. "Between the two of us, we could have woken all of the Caribbean up!"

"I was that good huh?" Jack asked quite pleased with himself.

"Aye" Elizabeth responded looking longingly into his eyes. Noticing that she was getting off topic, she said, "But that's not the point!" she paused, took a deep breath and continued. "I love you Jack.we love each other, and I would hate for Will to find that out, from listening to out little performance last night."

Jack planted another kiss on her neck and said,

"I understand love. I'll have a talk with him, and see if he heard anything, savvy?"

"No" she responded. "I better go talk to him."

One Hour Later

"Will?" Elizabeth knocked on his door. "It's me." Will opened the door to see Elizabeth's glowing face.

"Hi!" she said enthusiastically. Will tried to look at her with the same respect as he has before, but he just couldn't.

"Hi." He responded.

"May I come in?"

"Aye."

"Will, there is something I must ask you."

"Aye."

"Did you hear anything unusual last night?"

"Nothing out of the ordinary. Just the sound of the sea and the wind." Will found it extremely difficult to lie to someone who had once loved him.

"REALLY?" Elizabeth said surprisingly. "I mean really, oh that's interesting, because, well, umm" She paused; she could not bear to tell him the truth. "Well it's just that my stomach hurt.along with my head, and I'm afraid I was moaning a little."

"From the rum?" Will asked.

"What?" Elizabeth asked confused.

"The rum, Jack told me that you ingested a horrible amount of rum yesterday."

"Oh, oh right. Yes it was the rum."

"How are you feeling by the way?" he asked. Elizabeth let out a long sigh.

"I feel.Incredible!"

Will saw that she was thinking about last night. His eyes began to well up and with that, he asked her to leave. Elizabeth left, and went back into Jack's room where she told him what happened.

"So it turns out that he didn't hear anything. I was shocked! I'll tell you Jack, you must have padded walls, I mean for him not to hear us.

"See, I told ye love, everything would be ok." Just then Elizabeth grew very queasy. She quickly ran to a bucket beside Jack's desk, and vomited.

"Was it mi breath? Jack asked?

Two Months Later

Elizabeth's sudden spurs of vomiting continued sporadically for the next two months. One day while she laid in Jack's bed reading, she realized something. She realized that she hadn't gotten her period in almost three months. Worried, she consulted Jack.

"Hey Captain" she said into Jack's ear.

"MMM" Jack murmured.

"May I speak to you for a sec?"

"I'm steering the ship love"

"Get Will to take over."

Will who was watching to whole thing, agreed to steer the Black Pearl. He figured if he was going to own the Pearl for a while, he might as well get used to it.

"Oh. Thank you Will" Elizabeth said. "I just need to talk to Jack about.umm when we are docking."

"Right.I mean of course" Will replied.

"Thanks mate." Jack said with a stupid grin on his face. Will gave him the evil eye.

When they were safely in Jack's room, Jack who was walking behind Elizabeth, grabbed her quickly and pressed her against the door.

"So soon love? It's not even lunch time." He proceeded to kiss her with a fiery passion that she had never felt before. Unfortunately she had to break the kiss.

"Jack, I really must talk to you."

"Alright love, let's sit over 'ere." He held her hand and led her over to the bed.

"Jack..umm" Elizabeth wasn't sure how to begin. "I really don't know how to explain this to you." She saw that Jack looked worried so she just spit it out. "I haven't.umm.bled, for lack of a better word, in quite a while."

Jack was puzzled.

"Look 'ere love, I'm a man, and a pirate. I'm a male pirate. So. I haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about."

"Alright, well every now and then, usually every month. Women, such as myself, heh, umm. Well we, uh bleed. We bleed."

"From where?" Jack asked totally clueless.

"From the same place where we urinate."

"OH!" he replied with a grotesque look on his face. "I mean oh."

"Anyway, that hasn't happened to me, and it is very overdue. That added on to the sudden vomiting, Jack, I think I might be sick."

"No you can't be, we'll go back to Port Royal. We'll go to the doctor, you'll see." Just then he was interrupted by Elizabeth's finger.

"Shh" she whispered, and gently kissed him. "Savvy?" she said.

"I'm gonna take care of you Elizabeth."

"I love you Jack." There was silence for a while until Elizabeth spoke up again. "I'm tiered Jack, I think I'll take a nap before dinner."

"Aye love" Jack responded. He stepped out and closed the door, and said softly, "I love you."

Will who was steering the ship responded.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing. Turn this ship around; we must go back to Port Royal immediately!"

"Why?"

"Because.because of Elizabeth, she's sick."

"What do you care? You aren't anything but a pirate!"

"Look 'ere William!" Jack snapped. "I'm sorry she doesn't love you anymore, she didn't choose you, she chose me, and I.I love her!"

"What?" Will asked stunned

"That's right, I love her, and she loves me. I've never felt this way about anybody in mi entire life. So if I were you, I would step aside so that I can turn this ship around and get her to a doctor!" Will stepped aside and was rarely see the rest of the way back to Port Royal.
