(A/N) Don't hate me after this chapter! :)

DISCLAIMER: IS DO NOT OWN POTC!

It was two months into their journey back to Port Royal. Elizabeth had continued to befriend the Commodore. They would have dinner together, walk on deck, and they would talk about the future, actually it would be Norrington that would go on and on about the future. Elizabeth's stomach grew a lot during these past few months, she was now seven months pregnant, in two months her baby would be brought into this world, and there would be no chance that the Commodore would be there for that, Will was going to be there. Elizabeth decided that her best chance would be tonight to see Will, Jack, and Bill, Norrington was in a meeting with his Lieutenants, and that would take hours. Another thing Elizabeth knew was that there was no guard posted downstairs in the brig, so it would be easy for her to get down there unnoticed, most of the marines were out on deck or sleeping in their bunks, so the entire ship was empty.

Elizabeth stepped out of her room, and walked further down the hall, down another flight of stairs. She was now in the galley, she knew that there was a small door, that lead down to the brig. She opened it and walked down the final flight of stairs. The brig was dark, and dank, she saw that Will, Jack, and Bill were sleeping, Will in one cell, and Jack and Bill were in another. They looked that they were in good health, but she didn't trust her eyes.

"Will!" Elizabeth cried.

Will awoke startled, "Elizabeth, are you alright? He didn't hurt you did he?" Both of them were crying.

"I'm fine." They kissed each other between the bars.

"Jack, Bill are you alright? Do you need anything?" Elizabeth asked.

"No we're fine luv." Jack said glad to see Elizabeth had not been hurt by Norrington, Jack figured that he had gone off his bloody rocker.

Will was in awe, he could not believe how much Elizabeth's stomach had grown, his child was safe, Elizabeth had insured that, Will's mind came to ease. These past few months not knowing was torture. "Elizabeth, what has been going on?" Elizabeth then told Will of her plan to get down here, as well as Norrington's. "That bloody bastard!" Will said angrily.

"Elizabeth you have to find a way we can get out of here." Bill said.

"She will do no such thing!" Norrington said as he walked down the stairs.

"You lying treacherous wench!" Norrington grabbed her by her hair and dragged her up on deck.

"Roberts bring the prisoners on deck." Norrington told one of his marines.

Norrington held Elizabeth by the back of the neck as Will, Jack, and Bill were brought on deck, in front of her.

"Pick one of them." Norrington told her.

"What?" Elizabeth did not understand what was being asked of her.

"What you just did, disobeying an order from a Commodore is punishable with thirty lashes. I am not about to hit you my dear, pick one of them, they shall receive your punishment."

"I can't do that…I…"

"Remember what I told you Elizabeth, you will never see that child." Norrington's voice had gone cold, without emotion.

Elizabeth looked into the eyes of Will, Jack, and Bill, she could not choose. Will was her husband, Jack was her friend, and Bill was her father in law. Her eyes began to fill with tears, she knew whoever she picked, they were going to go through hell.

"You are running out of time my dear…" Norrington was pushing her.

"Elizabeth choose me…" Jack stepped forward, "I can take whatever this whelp has to offer…" Jack stared at Norrington, burning a hole right through him.

"Jack!" Bill and Will said in unison, "You can't!" Will said.

"I can. I can't let your lass here pick you or ye father, wouldn't be right."

"Jack, I am so sorry…" Elizabeth ran to him and hugged him.

"He won't get away with it luv." Jack whispered in her ear.

"With me Sparrow." Norrington then guided Jack to the mast of the ship, ordered him to take his shirt off, tied his arms in front of him around the mast, and took out the whip.

The crack of the ship, and the sound of it when it collided with Jack's skin was too much for Elizabeth to bare, she fell to her knees, put her head in her hands and cried, she could not look anymore. Will and Bill bent down next to her, and tried to comfort her, in reality, they could no longer see Jack being tortured like that either. Everyone was staring at Jack, including Norrington's marines, they were in utter shock, mainly because Jack had not once cried out in pain, he was silent, only the slight bracing of his body, is all they saw.

When Norrington was finshed he threw the blood soaked whip to the floor, when he turned to face Elizabeth he had blood on his face, he looked crazed.

"Take these two and put them back in their cells…" Elizabeth gave Will one last kiss before he was sent away again.

"Take Sparrow and put him in Mrs. Turner's quarters, she will provide medical aide to him, be sure she has all the proper tools to do so."

Elizabeth sat on her knees in the middle of the deck, crying, Norrington walked up to her, and grabbed her wrist and picked her up to her feet. "I told you not to cross me. Now you are paying the price, because of your rash actions, you will deal with Sparrow, you will see what you have done." Norrington then walked her to her room, and locked the door behind her, she would be locked in there for the remainder of her time.
