Chapter 12

Nicole went home like Will had told her. She knew that she couldn't leave her son again. Will would probably hate her if she did that again. When she came home she was glad to see that her son with Anamaria. She knew that Anamaria already knew what was going on. The only thing she hoped was that Will and Jack were ok.

Will and Jack came home later that night. They were covered in blood because of all the fighting. Nicole looked shocked because of the way Will looked. He looked like he was about to die. Jack told Anamaria to go get the doctor while Jack and Nicole put him to bed.

"I should have never left him,"said Nicole. "I should have never left home. None of this would have happened if I'd have stayed here."

"Don't say that,"said Jack. "You did what he told you."

Will started to open his eyes. He was still in a lot of pain. "Nicole...?"

"Will! Oh god!"She was scared to death. "Please don't leave me!"

He put his hand on her face. "Shhhhhh...Calm down now...

"Please Will. You can't leave me and your son."

"Shhhhh...It's ok. It's not that bad. I promise you it's not that bad... Shhhh..."

"I'm so sorry Will..I'm so sorry."

"Don't cry. It's going to be ok love. It's going to be ok...Shhhhh...

Soon the doctor was there and asked Jack and Nicole to leave the room.

For about an hour Jack and Nicole waited outside while the doctor tended to Will's wounds. But soon enough the doctor was out of the room and telling Nicole and Jack that they could see Will again.

When Nicole went into the room,Will was still in a lot of pain. But she was glad to see that he was all right.

"Will...?"she asked.

"I'm here..."he said.

"Oh god. You're ok."

"Yes. I'm ok. Just in a little bit of pain. But nothing I can't handle."

She went over and sat down by him. He put his hand on her face and kissed her. A tear rolled down her cheek.

"Now what's this? A tear? I'm going to be all right love."

"I know. I love you."

He kissed her again. "I love you too Nicole."

"This was all my fault."

"No it wasn't Nicole. You did what I told you."

"But I was the one who left the house Will. I was the one who told you."

"And I'm glad you did. If it wasn't for you your father and our son might be dead by now." He kissed her again "I love you."

"I love you too Will."

"How's the wound mate?"asked Jack.

"It's not too bad. I don't think I'm going to be doing anything for a while though."

"Well,at least you have her."

"And you too Jack."

"You're staying?"asked Nicole.

"Only if you want me to."

She went over and hugged him. "I would love that father. I just don't want you to get hurt anymore."

"I think it's time that I leave the Pearl behind. Especially since that I'm now a grandfather now."

"But everyone else here think you're still a pirate."

"I don't care about that. I'm no longer Captain Jack Sparrow. I'm going to have to except that. And since I'm not a pirate anymore they can't kill me."

"I guess I should tell Norrington,"said Will.

"You're not going anywhere mate,"said Jack.

He smiled. He looked over to the cradle where is his son was sleeping. He was just glad that he wasn't dead. He didn't want to leave his son like his father had left him.

"I can tell Norrington myself."

"And if Norrington doesn't believe you?"

"Well,he's just going to have to. Especially when he sees that the Pearl is gone and I'm still here."

"Good point."

He looked back at Nicole. "Do you still hate me?"

She sighed. "Look,I never hated you. I guess I was just mad at you because you left me and I never had a father figure to look up to,and then mother died and I had to take care of myself. But no,I don't hate you anymore. I would never try to burn up your ship father. I might have hated it,but I would never burn it."

"I guess you heard our conversation."

"No. I just figured you would say something like that."

"I'm just glad you're still alive. You had me all in a fright after you took the Pearl."

"I was surprised that Will didn't come after me."

"Well,he has a son to take care of,and so do you."

They looked over to the cradle. Nicole's son and Jack's grandchild was starting to wake up. "Yes. You're right." She went over to the cradle and picked up her son and took him over to the bed and sat down by Will. "I can't believe how much he looks like you Will."

"I do,"said Will. "One person in this room told me that I was a spitting image of my father. He even swore I looked just him."

"Let me guess? My father?"

He smiled and kissed her. "Right. And I'm still glad that you're father brought you here. If it wasn't for him,I wouldn't have the perfect wife and I wouldn't be holding my child. And if it wasn't for you I probably would have forgotten what love is."
