Chapter 4
"Abosultely not!"said Commodore Norrington after Will told him the whole story.
"Commodore please! I must do this...for my wife."
"Then that means you want to get her father sent back to the gallows."
"I'm only doing this because I love her. If Elizabeth had asked the same you would've done it."
Commodore Norrington looked Will straight in the eye. "Mr. Turner... I must follow the law. I'm sorry,but I can not help you,"and he started to walk away.
"Then why did you let him go the first time?"
But Commodore didn't say anything. He just walked away slowly.
Will looked over into the harbor. There stood the Dauntless. The only power in the waters since the Interceptor was gone. He had to do something. I'm not going to steal another ship,he thought. First,I don't have a crew,and there is no way I'm going to be able to find Jack in time.
He looked out into sea one more time and saw a ship coming. He recognized the ship. It was the Black Pearl. Jack had come back again. Good,he thought. Then maybe I can tell him to stay for good.
But before he decided to go get Jack,he decided to go back home to check on Nicole. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
When Will got home he didn't realize that anything was wrong. But then he asked the maid how she was doing. The maid told him that Nicole was getting sick. He rushed upstairs to see how his wife was doing and to tell her the news of Jack's return.
"Nicole. Are you all right?"he asked as he opened opened the door to the bedroom. He took one look at her and almost fainted. Oh my god,he thought. She looks terrible. Jack is so going to kill me.
"Will...I wasn't excepting you back this soon."
He sat on the bed and felt her forehead. "My god... You're burning up. How long have you been like this?"
"Since after you left."
"Oh god. Your father can't see you like this."
"He's back already?!"she jumped up into Will's arms.
"Shhh...go back to sleep. You're going to be fine. I can already tell." He smiled and kissed her.
"He's going to kill me if I'm sick."
He smiled. "You're going to be fine."
"What about our son?"
"I'll take care of him,and you. But what you need now is rest. So go back to sleep love."
"Are you sure everything is going to be all right?"
"Stop worrying so much. Everything is going to be fine. I promise."
She sighed. "I hope so."
The maid then came into the room to tell Will that Jack had arrived.
"Well,here goes nothing,"he said.
"Will?"
"Yes love?"
"I love you too." He bent down to kiss her.
"Are you sure you want to kiss me? I am sick."
"I'd rather be with you than anywhere else."
"You'd rather be here than at work?"
"I'm never with the person I love when I'm there. So yes." He kissed her on the lips. "Now you had better stay here."
She smiled. "You know I will."
"Good,"and he left the room.

"Well,well,well,"said Jack as Will came down the stairs.
"Good to have you back Jack,"said Will.
"How is she?"
"She's sick Jack..."
"How sick?"
"Not too sick. She'll be fine in the morning. She just needs some rest."
"And my grandson?"
"He's fine. He's upstairs with her. Is something wrong?"
"No. I just wanted to see how they were doing."
"Jack... There is something I need to tell you."
"Yes?"
"She doesn't want you to leave this time."
"What?"
"Listen Jack... Please don't leave her. She's going through a very hard time right now and she really needs you. She can't stop talking about her mother and she really needs you right now."
He shook his head. "No Will. I can't. She has to understand that."
"She doesn't want you to get hurt again Jack. Don't you remember the way she acted when you got hurt the last time?"
"Will,The Black Pearl is my home. It always will be untilt the day I die. She has to understand that."
"Jack,if you leave she will seriouslly get hurt. She almost went after you again and I had to persuade her not to. But I can't do that anymore. Do you want your daughter to get hurt...or even worse? Do you want her to end up like her mother?!"
"That was none of your business Will."
"Jack,she is my wife! And yes it is my business because I love her Jack! I cannot raise a child on my own. Especially not at 4 months. Please Jack. She'll do anything to make sure that you don't leave us again."
"What did Commodore say?"
"You'll be sent back to the gallows again."
"Then I can't stay here. You know as much as I do that I cannot stay 'ere Will. I'm a pirate Will! The Black Pearl is my home!"
They didn't know it,but Nicole had been hearing the whole coversation from the stairs. Will looked up into her sad eyes for one moment. He knew that she couldn't believe it. But then she ran back upstairs bursting into tears with some much hate.
"Nicole!"Will said as he ran up the stairs to the room where he found her crying on the bed by their son. "Nicole! Oh god."
"How the hell could he do this to me?!"
"Nicole please...don't do this..."he said as he sat on the bed beside her. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"That damn ship...why couldn't it've been gone a long time ago?"
"He does love you."
"Sure he does... The way he talks about me and everything. Some father..."
"He can't help it that he's a pirate Nicole. You've got to understand that."
"He's my father though. Doesn't he care about that?"
He sighed. "I'm sorry. But there isn't anything I can do now. I can't make him stop what he already is. And I don't want you getting hurt. I love you too much. Just let him go one with his ways."
"Did the Commodore really say that?"
"Yes he did."
"Oh god."
"I hate to say this Nicole,but you should listen to your father...just this once."
"Well,I don't want him to be hung."
"Neither do I."
"You won't have to,"said Jack as he opened the door.
"Jack...?"
He looked at Nicole, "Do I really mean that much to you?"
"You always have,"she said. "I just thought for once...it would be nice to have a father who cared about me. But then I realized that that you aren't just a father...you're a pirate."
"And I pirate I shall remain. I can't help it that I am a pirate,but I should take more care of you,since you are my daughter. And I don't want you getting hurt either, and I don't want you ending up like your mother."
"Then you'll stay?"
"Only for the time being."
"What's the supposed to mean?"
"I'll stay as long as I please. I'm a pirate. You have to acknowledge that."
"When have I not Jack?"
"And will you quit calling me Jack?! I thought I was your father."
"You are,but you're still Jack to me."
"Very funny..."
