Yes I know this is /really/ short, but I promise next chappie will be longer. Its only because I had to break the story up in portions in my book. Forgive me for my terrible knowledge of doctors way back in those days, I did the best I could.

Disclaimer: The characters protrayed in this story are property of Jerry Bruckheimer(SP), except for Jennifer the maid, and in this chappie, Dr Johnson.

Chapter 4: The Doctors

The visit to the doctors was very distressing for both, they were anxious to find out the cause of her sickness. As they were waiting in the reception area, Elizabeth started fidgeting. She was bouncing her leg and moving her fingers in an agitated way.

Will took her hand. "Stop fidgeting and sit still, it won't be much longer, you are acting like a child." Will grinned and she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, it's just I'm worried about the outcome of the visit Will. What if I am seriously ill, and what if he has to examine me!" Elizabeth looked disgusted and Will laughed. He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed her palm.

"It'll all be alright, and I suppose if he wants to examine you I will have to let him. After all…" He leaned in and whispered to her, "Who wouldn't want to examine you."

Elizabeth smirked and slapped his hand. "Watch it there William."

Just as she said that the doctor appeared at the door. He looked at the secretary, who whispered something to him.

"Mrs Turner." He called out.

Elizabeth took a deep breath and followed him into his office. The doctor was fairly aged, probably in his mid fifties, Will noted as he entered the room as well. Elizabeth and Will sat down opposite the doctor.

"My name is Doctor Johnson, now what seems to be troubling you Mrs Turner?" The doctor enquired. Will felt at ease around him, and he knew Elizabeth was in good hands.

Elizabeth told him everything and he frowned. The grip on Will's hand tightened as she braced herself for the worse.

"Oh, my…monthly cycle is late, that's also been worrying me." She shifted rather uncomfortably in her spot and her cheeks started to glow red slightly. Will raised a brow; she had not told him this.

The doctor laughed, catching them both by surprise. "You both look so frightened. I wonder why neither of you have figured it out yet. Well, hearing these symptoms, I am pleased to inform you of my diagnosis. Congratulations." He said warmly and extended his out for Will to shake.

Will shook it breathlessly; he was to become a father! Elizabeth stood wide-eyed at the doctor then at Will, a small smile then a full grin plastered on her lips.

Once again, thanks for all my fab reviews, glad you like it so far!
