Chapter 4- Pregnancy and Precognition
It had been three months since the perilous meeting with the band of survived pirates from Barbossa's old crew. It seemed like shorter. Every night, thoughts of the terrifying event would run through the minds of Jack Sparrow, and Will and Elizabeth Turner. It was difficult to think of anything else when one's mind was completely focused on such an event. To have the knowledge of knowing that there were tons of pirates left out in the world that could strike at any time and any minute was simply.....well, scary.
Much had happened in the last three months at Port Royal. The town was almost fully reconstructed, after the terrible attacks from the Black Pearl, which happened almost a year ago. Many people died or were badly wounded in this assault, causing the amount of workers and re-constructors to be very low. Will and Elizabeth had not spent much more time in Port Royal after their whole adventure spilled into their lives. They were married in the local church, which was not harmed, thank the Lord, and went off right away on their honeymoon, which was, shall I say, "shaken up."
Jack Sparrow did not seem to have been affected in any way by this whole ordeal. He remained his grand, jovial self, and continued being the dirty pirate he was at the same time. Not only did he steal a blind man's wallet, but he also happened to get lucky when going to the town pub, playing cards, and making "arrangements" with fellow townspeople. (By this, I mean betting for money, and giving the men a "treat" on beer and wine, savvy?) Nope, not much had changed for him.
On the other hand, the lives of Will and Elizabeth changed dramatically. They were told only a few weeks after they returned home that Elizabeth was pregnant. But it hadn't been a mistake. They were hoping to start a family sometime soon. When Governor Swann was told the news, he was absolutely thrilled at the fact that his grandchild would be coming to life in nine months' time. Elizabeth had hoped for a girl, which she would name Anne Marie, but Will had hoped for a boy, which he would name Jack, after his best friend. He seemed to have a feeling that his wish would not come, about getting a boy that is, but he hoped and prayed every night for one. He would train him to swordfight, teach him the ways of the blacksmith, and have a great time with him even if they were just at home. Having a girl wouldn't be that terrible, but it did have its down sides.
As you can plainly see, as I said before, many new changes had occurred in Port Royal over the past three weeks, some good, and some bad. When I say bad, I mean the cheating that Jack did with the money at the pub. He called it "a bit of cleverness," but Will and Elizabeth saw past that at once.
"Pregnant." The word rang in Will's ears dramatically over and over again. He couldn't help it. He was ecstatic with excitement about it, yes.....but the work that would have to be put into it; the time that would be spent raising the child, teaching it proper manners, right and wrong.....it just seemed like a little much to be handling at a time such as this. Not only did Will have pirate blood in him, but he had basically turned into one over the past year. On top of that, there was the growing threat of the pirates that were still out there, waiting to kill him......and his wife. He washed his face. The cold water trickled over his face. It was smooth as silk.
"Will," said a woman's voice. He turned toward that door of the bathroom. As he could assume, it was Elizabeth. "Are you coming to bed?"
"In a minute," he replied. He continued to wash his face, wiped it off with a towel, and walked into his bedroom.
He sat down on his bed without saying a word. He just sat there, staring into space, deep in thought. He was having a sort of vision. He could see his newborn baby.....a girl, much to his dismay, buy his face showed happiness at having a child in the first place. He was smiling, touching the baby's little fingers. The child was so relaxed, so content. If only that was the way Will felt. He looked over at Elizabeth. She was smiling and sweaty, apparently this had been a rough time for her. But her face was as sweet as a sickle, showing no signs of worry. Will knew that this is what he was meant to have; he knew that if this was what happened, he would be happy. They two people he loved most were right here with him, the baby in his arms, his wife at his side. He bent down and kissed her. Everything was going to be okay.
But then, something happened. Something that made Will want to jump out of his skin in anger. Something that made him want to jump up and scream. Jack walked into the room, wearing his usual pirate getup, happy as a fiddle. He walked over to the baby, and smiled. He too played with the baby's little fingers, and the baby laughed and giggled. She was happier than Will had ever seen her. Will went to pick her up, but then something else happened that made Will want to die. The baby started crying. Right as she left Jack she started to draw out the tears. Elizabeth took her in her lap, and tried to calm her. She stopped crying. Then Jack started playing with her again, and she giggled once more. Will couldn't stand it. He wanted to hurt Jack, murder him maybe.....as long as he didn't continue playing with Will's child.
"Stop Jack!!!" shouted Will loudly.
"Will," said Elizabeth. "Calm down."
"I'LL KILL YOU JACK!!!"
Finally Will came to. He looked over at his wife. It was just then that he realized that his hand was around her throat. He quickly pulled it away.
"Elizabeth," he said. "I didn't mean to("
"Will, what is the matter with you?" asked Elizabeth honestly. "Ever since we got back from our honeymoon.....well, I guess I can't call it that.....when we got back from...vacation, and you first learned of me being pregnant, you have been acting really strange."
"Forgive me, Elizabeth," he replied weakly. "I have been distracted lately. I guess I haven't been myself. I was just thinking of what is to come of us when we have a child. Think about it. We are going to have to raise it, train it, love it every minute of its life("
"And if you hold that against our child, I will never forgive you, Will Turner."
"You know that's not what I mean. What happens when it comes time to introduce him...or her...to Jack? He, or she, is going to take to him immediately. They will want to become a pirate, because he is going to tell him tales of all his adventures....they are going to be growing up with that in their lives constantly."
"I don't see a problem with that," Elizabeth said matter-of-factly. "I always wanted to be a princess when I got older, and look at me now."
"You're the governor's daughter, which makes you almost as rich as a princess. Your dream almost came completely true. Mine.....well....mine is almost there."
"And what was your dream so long ago, may I ask?"
"Okay, you'll have to bare with me on this one, I was only a child. When I would go out to sea with my mother, I always wanted to be a pirate. Just the feel of always having a sword at my side, always being out at sea, swinging on the ropes in the wind, diving overboard to rescue somebody. It just all seemed too good to be true. I just really liked the feel of being a pirate. Living off the land, traveling all over, and being a mysterious thief. And now, it's actually happening, and I will do anything to stop it."
He looked down, with a tear forming in his eye, but he made sure that it didn't show to Elizabeth, or drip from his eye. But she knew how emotional Will could be. She knew it all her life. Ever since she met him and first laid eyes on the medallion.....she knew that Will was a pirate.
"Will, it's okay to be a pirate," said Elizabeth gently. "It is not all bad. People fear you when they are asleep, wondering whether you are going to break into their homes and steal money for yourself. They don't trust you because you are a pirate. You are a mysterious person to them."
"And do you honestly think I like that?" said Will. "I don't want people to think of me as a bad person."
"I know," she answered quietly. "I know."
The next day started quickly. The sun shone straight through the blinds that covered Elizabeth and Will's bedroom window, waking Will out of his dreams. Elizabeth did not move, unaware that it was morning. Will got up immediately. He took a shower, dressed, and put on the finest brown suit he could find. He was going to make it up to Elizabeth for being such a pain in past weeks. He decided that they should do something special together as a couple; as husband and wife. Will made sure that he looked only the best he could.
"Elizabeth," he said gently. "Elizabeth."
She didn't even budge.
"Ms. Swann," said Will.
She was up now. "What did you just call me?" she said suddenly.
"You heard me," he replied smoothly.
She turned over on the bed. She groaned. "What time is it?"
"Time for you to get up." He walked over to the bed and pulled all the covers off his wife. She shivered.
"All right, I'm up."
"Great," said Will. "Come downstairs for breakfast in half and hour. That should give you plenty of time to get ready."
As he left the room to head to the kitchen, he thought he heard Elizabeth mutter, "Who died to make you head of the household?" Sarcasm. He loved that.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack Sparrow was not in the best of moods. He had paid a little visit to the pub the night before, and lost all the money he had originally taken from the gentlemen. They caught on to what he was doing, so they did it in reverse. He had fallen asleep in the street, and could now be found laying up against the side of the pub.
He groaned as he felt his stomach. The contents inside had been long since regurgitated. There was nothing left. It was empty. He couldn't help but realize that that was how his life was. Empty. Although he never brought himself to the realization, he desperately wanted a family. He thought that he might be successful by knocking up a fair maiden only a few weeks past. But that maiden just happened to be going with a man of greater substance. Who was she again???...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Will groaned as he tried to flip his cheese omelette with a wooden turner. It was rather difficult. He was making an omelette, bacon, toast, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and french toast. Will had taken the liberty to make all of this himself, and gave the cooks the day off.
Almost there, he thought. He flipped it. It landed perfectly, melting the cheese with the egg. Perfect. The omelette was for Elizabeth. She loved omelettes, especially one made by Will. They "weren't the same" when the cooks made them. Only Will could make them just right.
Elizabeth had walked into the dining room at the perfect moment. Will had just set down the omelette for her, and her face showed both confusion and excitement.
"What's this?" she asked.
"A breakfast for two," replied Will.
"What's the occasion?" She was testing him.
"A great start to a great life as a family," Will said with perfect timing.
Elizabeth took her seat as Will pulled out her chair, and then slid it in when she sat in it. Then Will sat down.
"Will," said Elizabeth. "There's something that I have to tell you."
Will stood still. Whatever thoughts of happiness that had run through his mind had paused, stopped.
"You may not....no, you will not like what I am about to tell you."
"What is it?" he said.
"This pregnancy isn't what you think it is."
*Cough cough.....cliffhanger....cough cough*
