DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
It was early in the morning by the time Elizabeth woke up, Will was still sleeping, so she decided she would take a walk in the garden, clear her mind. So Elizabeth slipped out of bed and put her dressing robe on, she didn't feel like putting on a gown. Elizabeth then crept downstairs, through the dinning room, then the kitchen, careful not to wake anyone up. When Elizabeth finally reached outside, she took a deep breath, inhaling the salty sea air. She walked around the garden, thinking about what to do, should she stay, be Governess, or choose life on the sea? Elizabeth's mind wandered, her mind was taken out of its thoughts when a hand was placed on her shoulder. Elizabeth gasped in fright as she whirled around.
"Didn't mean to scare ye luv…"
"Jesus Jack! I didn't even hear you!" Elizabeth said breathing heavily.
"Sorry…what are ye doing out here?"
"Thinking…" Elizabeth said as she continued walking, Jack joined her.
"About what?"
"Everything…the baby…myself being Governess…deciding whether or not if I should stay here or if we should go…Will…my father…just everything Jack." Elizabeth said with despair.
"Have ye made up yer mind on anything?"
"Yes, some things."
"Like?" Jack was pushing her to talk.
"Well for one thing, I am never going to see my father again. I can't trust him, I can't believe some of the things he did." Jack nodded, listening to her.
"What about you? Why are you out here walking around?" Elizabeth asked.
"I'm not. I heard someone go downstairs, and when I looked out my door, I saw you, so I figured I'd keep me eye on ye."
"Jack, I don't need a babysitter."
"I sometimes think ye do. Sit." Jack then led her to a small table and chairs that were in the middle of the garden, they were surrounded by roses.
"Jack have you sent word to Anamaria yet?" Elizabeth asked.
"Not yet. I was going to go send her a letter today, at the Postmaster's office."
"Oh I see." Elizabeth then rubbed her stomach, she felt pain in her abdomen.
"Rascal kicking again?" Jack said playfully.
"No." Elizabeth then closed her eyes and put her head back.
"Elizabeth…are you alright?" Jack was out of his chair, he was kneeling in front of Elizabeth.
"No, Jack get Will." Jack bolted, he never ran so fast. He ran up the stairs and ran into Will and Elizabeth's bedroom.
"WILL!"
"Jack, please give me a break!" Will said groggy eyed.
"Something is wrong with Elizabeth and the baby! She is in the garden!" That was all Will needed to hear, he ran out of the room past Jack. Bill heard all of the commotion and followed Will and Jack to the garden.
By the time they had reached her, Elizabeth was on the floor, she was conscious and breathing heavily.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Will asked her as he knelt down to her.
"Will, you need to get a doctor…I think I am having the baby…Jack and Bill can get me into bed…"
"Elizabeth are you…"
"Hurry Will!" Will ran out of the garden through the house and ran into town.
"Jack, help me up…"
"Of course luv." Jack and Bill then helped Elizabeth to her feet, and started walking towards the house. The walk was slow, Elizabeth kept stopping every time she had a contraction. By the time Jack and Bill got her to bed, Elizabeth was pouring sweat.
"Bill, get the maids in here."
"Sure, Elizabeth." Bill did not like to see Elizabeth in pain, but he was happy, he would be a grandfather soon. Jack started to leave with him.
"No, Jack! Please stay, don't leave me alone." Elizabeth said. Jack then sat next to her in the bed and held her hand.
"Do you need anything Elizabeth?"
"No, Jack…" Elizabeth kept breathing very hard, and squeezing Jack's hand tightly, Jack thought she would break it.
"Elizabeth…" Bill had returned with Gloria, Elizabeth's maid, along with a few others.
"Listen to me…you need to prep this room, and assist the doctor, I assume you know what to do…"
"Yes miss." Gloria said. Then they all left, soon they returned with blankets, hot water, towels, amongst other things, Gloria was giving orders out.
"Jack…where is Will?" Elizabeth was in severe pain, Jack could see it.
"Right here…" Will had walked in the room, the doctor was behind him.
"Hello, Elizabeth. I am Doctor Richard Blythe. Having a baby are we?" As the doctor was talking to Elizabeth, Will walked up to Jack.
"I can take over from here. Thank you Jack." Will' s voice was nervous.
"No problem mate, good luck…" Jack patted Will on the back, and left the room with Bill.
