Chapter 8
As soon as they reached Port Royale,Will took his son and ran off home. He had to make sure that Nicole was ok. He would thank Jack later. He knew that Jack wouldn't leave,at least not now.
As soon as he got home he knew something was wrong. The doctor was there, and so were several other people. He could tell that something had happened to her.
"Will,thank god you're home,"said the doctor.
"What is it?! What's happened?!"
"She's sick...she's very sick Will...and I don't think she's going to get better."
No,he thought. For the love of God! No... This can't be happening. I lost one love in my life and I can't lose another one.
He ran upstairs with his son to see his wife. Please be ok,he thought. Please still be alive.
He opened the door to the room. There on the bed was Nicole. Beside her was a nurse. The nurse one took quick at Will and left the room.
"Nicole...?"he asked as he walked over to the bed.
"Will...you're alive..."
"Please don't leave me..."
"She hasn't eaten in three days,"said the doctor. "Will,if you don't help her she's going to die."
"That's why I came back."
"Don't worry about me Will,"said Nicole. "I'm not going to die of grief now. Because at least you and my son are still alive.
"Is this what this is all about? Nicole,please eat something."
"What about Jack?"
"He's still here. Don't worry about him. Please...eat something. You're going to die if you starve yourself to death."
Her complexion looked so pale that Will thought if he didn't help her soon that she was going to die. He had to help her.
"I'm so sorry,"she said.
He kissed her forehead. "It's ok. You were worried about me. I came home as fast as I could. Now please eat something."
He handed her an apple. She didn't start to eat it at first,and that's what started to worry him. She's still worried about Jack,he thought. Oh Jack is so going to kill me if I don't do something.
Will didn't have to worry though because she started to eat again.

The next four days Will didn't go to work at all. He stayed home and took care of Nicole. She was starting to get better. The good thing was that because she hadn't eaten in three days,she was starting to suffer from malnutrition. Will was glad that he had gotten in home in time to save her. He didn't want to think about what would happen if he had lost her. He knew that he wouldn't be able to raise his son on his own. He really needed her now.
That morning Will got up before dawn. He still didn't want to go to work though. He was still worried about Nicole's health. He stared at her smiled. Thank god she's all right,he thought. I can't lose her. Not now. I love her too much. I've lost one love,and I can't afford to lose another one. Jack would kill me if I lost his daughter. Oh I can't image what Jack would do to me if that happened.
"Good morning Will,"Nicole said as she started to wake up.
He kissed her cheek. "Go back to sleep love. It's not even dawn yet."
"I should tell you that. You've been taking care of me all this time. You really need some sleep."
"I'm not sick Nicole." He moved over and their lips met.
"I'm not that sick Will. You can go to work today."
He shook his head and kissed her. "No. I love you too much. Jack would probably kill me if I left you."
"Forget about Jack. He may be my father,but he can't protect me forever. You know that."
"But I'm your husband and I have to protect you. One more day isn't going to kill you."
"All right. How is my son?"
He peered over to the cradle at his son,who was sound asleep,and smiled. "Sound asleep. And you should be too. I love you."
"I know you do."
"Please go back to sleep?"
She nodded and smiled. "Ok."
He kissed her and she went back to sleep. I know she hates it when I do this,he thought. But it's for her own good. I can't have her getting sick again. Next time I had better get home before someone tries to kidnap our son from us. This cannot happen again.
