Chapter Fourteen: The Rescue

"Nearly ten years o' searchin', ten years o' long, cold searchin', an' now, gentlemen, the time has come!"

There was much cheering from the men around the cave. There weren't that many of them, most of them were back on the ship guarding it so there was only about five in there, Juliet guessed they were the few who knew about Barbossa's secret. Juliet trembled slightly.

"We finally found the girl we've been lookin' for all these years, an' now, we're gonna get to see her die a slow, painful death!"

This time, the cheering was even louder. Juliet was now taking in deep, shaky breaths trying to calm herself. She looked around the cave, the last thing she would see in her life. All she could think about was Will and the baby. If she did die… Will didn't even know he was going to be a father… he'd be devastated…

Barbossa turned to her, smirking. "Say good-bye, my daughter…" he held a knife up to her neck. The blade was coming closer… it was an inch away… Juliet closed her eyes, waiting for the blow…

BANG! BANG!

Juliet's eyes flew open and she could feel the knife come away from her neck. She looked up, and saw Will and Jack leap out from behind some of the rocks, each with a gun in their hand. BANG! Three down, two to go, not including Barbossa. Juliet ran over to the pair of them before Barbossa could grab her, and Jack shot the other two while Will aimed at Barbossa just as he was pulling out his gun. Barbossa tried to move out of the way but his right leg was a little slow. Will's bullet flew through there, and he dropped his gun and fell to the floor, yelling out in pain, his gun flying five feet away from him.

Will grabbed Juliet's hand and pulled her out of the cave, Jack running behind them. They jumped into the rowboat and, like before, had taken all the oars out of the rowboats in case Barbossa tried to escape. Jack rowed as fast as he could back to the Black Pearl. They finally reached it, and Will helped Juliet climb back up onto the ship.

"Thank you," she whispered to the two of them. Both of her hands were still in Will's.

"No problem, Jules, you're worth it any day."

Will started walking backwards, pulling Juliet with him down below deck to where his room was, not once taking his eyes away from hers. Once he finally shut the door behind them, he pulled her to him kissing her long and hard. She didn't realize how much she missed it until now, how great of a kisser he was. How she melted in his arms every time, how he knew just when to let her breathe, how he nibbled and teased her bottom lip.

"I'm so glad you're alive…" he whispered as his lips moved to her neck.

"Will… there's something I need to tell you… Will… look at me."

He stopped kissing her, his eyes boring into hers. She took a deep breath.

"Will… I-I-I'm pregnant."

He stared at her for a few more seconds, his eyes widening slightly. "How long?"

"Two weeks as of today."

"So… so it's mine?"

"Yes."

Silence.

"If you want to leave me, I'll understand. But I—"

But she didn't get the chance to finish her sentence. In a pure second, Will had picked her up in his arms and spun her around, kissing her with all the fiery passion he had inside of him. He set her down after a few minutes, putting a hand on her stomach. "No, we made this baby together, I'm going to be right there with you every step of the way. I promise you, no harm will come to you or the child you're carrying." He smiled.

A tear fell from Juliet's eye. Will wiped it away with his thumb.

"I love you so much…" he whispered.

"I love you too, Will…" she said back. He moved forward and kissed her, moving her back until the back of her knees hit the edge of the bed, causing her to fall back, taking him with her.

…

Juliet and Will told Jack the next day. He looked like a kid in a candy store, and Juliet couldn't help but laugh. "Well, Jack, you're going to be an uncle," she said.

He jumped around the deck, punching the air. "YES! I'm gonna be an uncle!" He ran back over to Juliet and kissed her cheek. He moved over to Will, grabbing his shoulders and looking like he was going to kiss him, and Will's face turned red and his eyes widened. Jack tilted his head to the side, but then stopped, letting go of Will.

"Nah," he said to himself, walking away.

LOL! Gotta love that part! And for Juliet and Will, say it with me… AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!!!! Review, and sorry about not updating in a while… other stories…
