Chapter 8

Will got up early again the next morning. He went over and looked out the window. The Black Pearl was still there. He wanted that ship to go away. He didn't want to remember Elizabeth anymore.

"Will?"asked Nicole. "What are you doing up so early?"she asked as she went over to the window.

"I just want it to go away."

"What?"

"The Black Pearl. I just want it to go away so I don't have to remember..."he paused.

"Remember what?"

He shook his head, "Nevermind."

"No. Tell me."

"I just don't want to remember her anymore."

Nicole knew who he was talking about. "Does it hurt that much?"

"Yes. But I know that he doesn't want to be a pirate anymore. I can't just kick him out."

"Then what should we do?"

He sighed. "I don't know love." He turned and hugged her. "I've got you. And I don't want to lose you."

"Oh I don't think that's going to happen Will."

"I hope not."

"I've got three children to take care of,plus I have you and my father. I don't think I'm going any time soon."

He kissed her again. "Good. I don't want you to leave. I love you too much. How are you feeling?"

"I'm in a little bit of pain. But you know why."

"Yes I know. God I can't believe we're going to have two more."

"Me neither."

"I didn't even think I would be ready for one."

"I wonder what my father's going to say."

"I...I already told him."

"You did?! What did he say?"

"He was surprised I can tell you that."

"Well of course. Remember when I told him I was pregnant five years ago?"

He pulled her closer to him. "Yes I do. I remember everything." They embraced. "I just still can't believe that we're having two more."

"Less than a week now."

"I know."

"Hopefully he won't go back there."

"No I doubt that. After that little talk we gave him."

"I hope you're right."

"You know I am."

"That's why I love you."

"You had better get back into bed."

"I'm fine Will. You know that."

"And you know how much I'm worried about you."

But their conversation was stopped by a gunshot heard down the hall. "WILL!"they yelled.
