Chapter 3
The next morning as Will woke up he was happy to see his wife still by his side. He had barely gotten any sleep because he thought she was going to run off and look for her father. He knew that even if she did run off she wasn't going to end up like Elizabeth.
He wasn't even certain if Elizabeth killed herself in the first place. But then again,he would know if there were pirates on the island. The only pirate he knew that was still alive was Jack. He didn't know if he could say that his daughter was a pirate because she didn't even want to be one...like him.
He looked at Nicole who was still sleeping. He still didn't want to think that he was a pirate. He was happy as a blacksmith. But ever since Elizabeth had died people had been acting strange. He could tell that some people wanted him hung because they thought that he had killed her.
"Will?"Nicole asked as she started to wake up.
"You're finally awake,"he said as he moved his head and kissed her. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm alright. And you?"
"I'm happy because you haven't left me."
"I couldn't."
"Why not?" He smiled and kissed her.
"Because I thought about what you said to me last night."
"Good." He kissed her again,but she didn't smile. He knew what she was thinking. She's still worried about him,he thought. I can tell it in her eyes. "You really want him back don't you?"
She sat up and looked down at her son who was sleeping in the cradle. "Yes I do Will. Even if he is a pirate. He's still my father and I care deeply about him. I feel so stupid about what I said about him before,because he's the only person who really gave a damn about me after my mother died. You have no idea how I feel."
He sat up and put her head on his should. "Yes I do. I had no one to raise me when I was growing up Nicole. I don't have much have a past.
"Then did you see any of your parents kill right in front of you?"
He looked at her in shock. "Oh god... What happened?"
"My mother killed herself right in front of my eyes Will. I saw the whole thing."
"I'm...I'm so sorry."
"She was tired of Jack going off and leaving her all the time in Tortuga alone. She hated that place. She wanted to go somewhere else...like here. She begged Jack, but he always said no. So one night she told me that she was through and stabbed herself right in front of me."
"So that's why you lied to me?"
"I wouldn't call in lying Will. Just a different version of the real story. Jack dumped her body into the sea."
"I see. But why do you want him back?"
"I already told you Will. Because he's my father. He may have not been the best father. But he truly is the only person who gave a damn about me." She picked up her son who was starting to wake up and cradled him in her arms. "But I don't want to leave you Will. I don't want to leave my son either."
"But you would leave to find your father?"
"Only if I had to. Only if it meant not leaving my husband and my son."
He sighed. "I'll go find him..."
"Will... You don't have to."
"I didn't realize that anyone cared about him that much. But I realize now... I'll get him back alright?"
"Will,why are you doing this?"
"Because I love you." He stared at her and their lips met. "And maybe he can teach our son how to become a pirate."
She smiled. "Oh Will! You really think that our son is going to grow up like this grandfather?"
"No. But maybe someday he will."
"Then we had better make sure he does go aboard the Black Pearl."
"I don't think he will love. That's why we're here."
"Only because you don't want to become a pirate."
"Neither do you."
"I know. But pirate is both in our bloods."
He sighed. "Let's not talk about that all right?"
"Ok."
"But I will go find him ok. But you need to stay here and take care of our son."
She smiled. "Alright."
"I won't take too long ok?"
"I'll be fine Will."
"Good. I love you."
"I love you too Will."
