A/N: I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry. I know I haven't updated in ages. My computer was stupid and erased this chapter twice, and this is the third time I have had to write it. Then of course there was CRT's, and then I got sick, and then I checked my email and realized I hadn't updated in forever. I am soooooo sorry. I hope I never take that long to update again. Forgive me?? Anyway, here's the next chapter. Finally, after the third time, you get to read it.

Oh! and the represents a passage of time. Enjoy!

Chapter Six: An Unexpected Alliance

"Elizabeth..." Will paused.

The Commodore's eyes lifted.

"What about Elizabeth?"

For the first time, he looked up at the poor blacksmith and saw the dark circles around his eyes. This man was exhausted. What had happened?

"What about Elizabeth, Turner?"

Will was about to speak when he remembered the last time he had turned to the Commodore for help. He had to break Jack out of prison to get any help the last time.

"Never mind. I forgot what happened the last time I asked you for help."

"Turner, that was a long time ago, and you were too rash. Haven't changed much have you? You still forget you are not the only here who cares for Elizabeth."

"You? You didn't even come to support her and see her child."

"That child should have been mine Turner! Would have been mine!"

That made Will's blood boil. Without thinking he planted his fist into the Commodore's face. The Commodore was knocked backwards. Will stood over him, with anger in his eyes.

"Rash Turner. Too rash."

Suddenly Will realized what he had done. He suddenly was beating himself up inside. How could he have done that? The Commodore was the last solution, and now.... now there was no chance he would help him.

The Commodore stood up and walked out of his office. Will heard him speaking faintly to a soldier outside. His world was spinning. First Elizabeth and Jasmine missing, then he had to go and pull that? Why had he let his emotions control him again?

Commodore Norrington entered his office again and looked seriously at Will.

"Now, Turner. About Elizabeth, what exactly happened?"

Will started to speak, very careful of what he might say.

"Elizabeth... was kidnaped. Along with OUR child and Jack Sparrow."

Kidnaped? By whom?

"That's insane Turner. Who would kidnap them?"

Will spoke firmly but didn't expect the Commodore to believe him.

"Barbossa's crew."

"That's impossible Turner, I saw their sentences carried out before my own eyes. There is no way they could have survived."

"But--"

"Go home Turner. Get some sleep."

And that was that. So the Commodore was not going to help him. He had lost everything with no hope of ever seeing them again.

"We leave tomorrow morning."

"What?" Will questioned, his brow scrunched in confusion.

"Tomorrow morning we leave. Unless you have other plans." Norrington said sternly.

"I... I don't know what to--"

"Spare your breath Turner. I am doing this for Elizabeth. Your right. I do owe her. I've told my captain to ready my ship. We leave at dawn."

Will thanked the Commodore quickly and headed home to get Ana and Bill ready for their journey.

As Will left, Commodore Norrington sat down in his chair. He had lost his self control again. Something he only did around Turner. TURNER. The one name that reminded him, of why he was suffering Eternal Lonliness.

Ana was sitting on her bed where Dr. Jacobsen had left her. Bootstrap was just down the hall from her. Will reached the house as the wind started to pick up, coming in from the sea.

"Good." Will said to himself, "that should delay them a little."

He went inside and marched up the stairs. He turned the corner and walked into Ana's room.

"How are you Ana? What did the doctor say?"

"I'm alright." Ana sighed. She did not look at Will. She kept eyes down.

"Ana, what's wrong? It isn't the baby is it?"

Ana shook her head. She then raised it, and Will could see the tears building in her eyes.

"What's going to happen to them?" Ana cried.

She felt foolish. She was always so strong. She was a pirate, she had to be. Why all of the sudden was she now so emotional, so upset.

"I don't know Ana, but I'm going after them tomorrow."

"How?" Ana questioned, "You don't have a ship, or a crew."

"The C...Commodore has agreed to help us." Said Will looking down.

"When do we leave?"

"I leave at sunrise."

"I? No. We are going Will. You can't leave me behind."

"Ana, it's not safe for you, you're...."

"Pregnant, but that doesn't mean I can't go out and look for my husband."

"Ana, I'm sure Jack's fine."

"We .... we don't know that Will." Ana said, a tear falling from her eye.

"Ana, that's why I can't let you go."

"He's my HUSBAND! You can't stop me, I'd just find another way there, if I have to row."

"Ana...."

She looked up and him another tear falling, but determination showing in her eyes as well.

"Stubborn. That's all there is too it. You are just as stubborn as Elizabeth. Strong willed and stubborn."

Ana gave a half smile, and Will turned around to go talk to Bootstrap.

"Will?"

"Hmm?"

"Thank you."

Will nodded in response and left the room.

Once Will was gone, and let out a sigh of relief. She was glad he hadn't asked her to follow him anywhere. She had gotten him to allow her to go with him, and that was all that mattered. She wouldn't allow him to change his mind.

She looked down at the bruises on her body. She wasn't about to let anyone know how much pain she was actually in.

She decided to get a glass of water off her dresser. She put her feet on the ground, noticing how cold it was. She then went to stand up. Putting her weight on her left foot, she noticed significant bruising on her right. As she carefully placed her weight on both feet, she took a step forward. Or at least, she tried. Letting out a gasp of pain, she fell forward. She pulled herself back up on the bed, and gently massaged her leg. Maybe this would be harder than she thought. She decided that she would wrap her leg up for support, and then she would just have to practice walking on it anyway. Nothing was going to keep her from finding her husband. Nothing.

Many hours later, Ana had taught herself to walk on her leg and show nothing more than a limp- other than facial expressions and gasps here and there. She finally gave in to sleep, praying desperately her husband was alright.

Will climbed into bed and closed his eyes. He saw his wife smiling up at him for the first time. They had been so young then. He had been so grateful to her for saving his life. Then he saw her on their wedding day, how extremely beautiful she was. The next thing he saw was his baby girl for the first time.

Tears fell from his cheeks. Were they even still alive? Why would they take them away from him. It didn't make any sense. With all these troubles and questions running through his mind, he drifted off to a restless sleep.

Will and Bootstrap came in while it was still dark.

"Ana... Ana...." they said gently, trying to wake her up.

Ana opened her eyes and wished she had stayed asleep. She winced and looked up at the two men.

"Are ye sure ye wan't her comin? It might not be so good on 'er." Bill commented.

Ana stared up at Will. He saw the pleading look in her eyes.

"I told her she could come, and she won't do anything that might endanger herself. Right Ana?"

She nodded.

The men started walking out expecting her to follow.

"We've got to hurry. I don't want that Commodore leaving without us."

Ana stood up, and limped over to the door.

"Ana? What happened to your leg? Can you walk on it?"

"Does it look like I'm walking on it?" she responded.

Then men looked at each other and walked out. The three walked down the hall and to the stairs.

Stairs! Ana had forgotten that factor. Oh well, it wouldn't be too different from just a plain floor right?

She let the men go first and slowly attempted to go down them herself.

One step....

Two steps....

Thr-

Ana's foot slid out from under her. Will turned and caught her. He helped her down the rest of the stairs, and then set her down. She tried to stand up and keep walking. Her attempt failed.

"Ana.... if you can't walk...."

"I can walk."

"Ana..." said Bill.

" I can walk."

"Women!" The men thought as they helped Ana up. At that moment Bootstrap and Will became human crutches.

Eventually down at the dock, the three found the Commodore waiting for them.

"What took you so long Turner?" Norrington asked.

Will looked behind him at Ana and Bootstrap.

"Turner, what are these pirates doing here?"

"Commodore, this is Captain Sparrow's wife Ana, and my Father, William Turner."

Will could see the annoyance and anger in the Commodore's face.

"Mrs. Sparrow is expecting, and was injured by Elizabeth's kidnapers. She needs the top care."

The Commodore said nothing.

"Soldier, please help Mrs. Sparrow on board."

"That's not-"

"Mr. Turner, I am going on a voyage I didn't intend on going on, with a man I dislike extremely, and his father, let alone an injured pregnant woman, who happens to be the wife of a pirate. I think I will be giving the orders around here."

Will just walked onto the ship.

An hour later, they had set sail, and were head on their search for everything they held dear. Will stood on the side of the ship.

"I'm coming Elizabeth," he whispered, "just stay strong."

A/N: Well, there you go. Chapter six. I hope to have chapter seven up soon. I just have to write it. I'm sorry that you didn't get to hear from Jack and Elizabeth this chapter. They were just a little too horrified to share their side of the story this time. We'll check up on them soon. In the meantime, don't forget to review. I love reviews....
