Chapter 13

The weeks started to gradually get longer. Little Will was doing better and the girls were already starting to get bigger. Bit Will knew that something wasn't right. He just didn't want anything to happen,but he knew that something was going to.

That morning was just like any morning. It was nice and quiet. The weather was nice and warm and the ocean was calm. Will's eyes fluttered as he started to wake up. He moved his head over and looked at Nicole. She was still sleeping. It was the first time he had actually seen her not stressed out in a while.

He moved closer to her and kissed her. He would be going back to work again. It was the first time he had been there in a while. But he knew that Nicole would be fine. He was son was strong and healthy again and Jack was still here.

I love you,he thought. I don't want anything to happen to you. You left me once and I never want you to leave me again.

"Will?"she asked as she started to wake up.

"Yes?"he asked.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes. I won't be gone for too long though."

"It's ok. I was just wondering why you were up so early."

"Go back to sleep. You've had a long week."

"Sleep does sound good. I love you."

He kissed her. "I love you too. I'll try not to be gone for too long ok?"

She nodded and went back to sleep.

"Promise me that you won't leave me,"he whispered into her ear. But she was already asleep and didn't answer him.

Before Will left he went into his son's room. He was still sleeping. It was early though. His wound was getting better.

I just want to know who did this to my son,thought Will. Why would anyone want to hurt him? Was someone seeking revenge because of my father? I just wish I knew...

"Will?"it was Jack.

"Jack,what are you doing up so early?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing."

"I was about to leave. I just wanted to check on my son."

"How is he?"

"He's doing better."

"That's good."

"I just wish I knew what happened."

"So do I."

He got off the bed and left the room and so did Jack.

"How is my daughter."

"She's fine. Still sleeping and so are my daughters."

"Will...I have to leave."

"What?"

"I have to go back to Tortoga."

"Again?"

"Yes."

"How are you going to get there?"

"Anamaria's coming back with the Pearl."

"When?"

"I don't know. But soon. Probably today."

"Does Nicole know?"

"No."

"You should tell her."

"I don't need to. I may not come back this time."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know what's going to happen this time Will. But I may not come back this time."

Will didn't know what to say. He knew what was going to happen if Nicole lost her father. "No."

"What?"

"I'm not going to let you leave Jack."

"I have to Will."

He looked him straight in the eye. "No. I'm not going to let you leave this time Jack. You aren't a pirate anymore. You promised your daughter that you would stay here."

"I promised you nothing."

"Do you want her to leave again? I don't Jack. I don't want anything to happen to her."

But then another gunshot was heard from upstairs. Will rushed upstairs into his room. And there was Nicole...lying in a heap of blood. No,he thought. This couldn't happen....

Jack stood at the door,not moving,and totally shocked.
