DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"I'll be back before you know it." Will said as he hugged Elizabeth.

"I know. I'll miss you." Elizabeth then kissed Will. They were standing on the dock, Will, Bill, Anamaria, and Jack, were all waiting for Will so they could get to the Pearl and make their way.

"Would ya speed it up mate?" Jack said. Anamaria then elbowed him in the gut.

"Oww, stop doing that!" Jack howled.

"Then stop with the stupid comments…"

"Your in charge." Will said as he bent down to Jack who was holding his mother's hand. "Take care of your mother." Will then ruffled his son's hair, and started walking towards Jack.

"Daddy!" Jack managed to wiggle out of his mother's grip and toddled to his father. Will picked him up and hugged and kissed him.

"I'll be back…" Jack then hooked his arms around his fathers neck. Elizabeth then walked over to Will and took Jack from him. With one last kiss Will left for the Pearl.

Elizabeth watched as the Pearl sailed away, until she could no longer see it's black sails. Elizabeth then turned around and walked toward their home, she was alone now, which in a way she enjoyed, but also dreaded. She could catch up on her chores, but now she was always worried about Will. As Elizabeth entered the house she went into the parlor and sat down, Jack went to the floor were he found amusement with some toys that were scattered. Elizabeth then pulled out her basket which was filled with scraps of fabric, needles, and thread. She was planning on making her child a quilt, something she could not do with Jack, due to unfortunate circumstances. Time went by quickly, the next time Elizabeth looked up it was turning dark outside, and Jack was curled in a ball, asleep on the floor. Elizabeth picked him up and took him upstairs and placed him in his crib. Elizabeth felt tired, this pregnancy was already off to a bad start, she felt it, with Jack she felt fine, the only thing she noticed was her expanding waistline, but that was it. As Elizabeth crawled into bed her last thoughts before she fell asleep was of Will.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

"Jack I need to talk to you." Will said as he approached Jack.

"What is it mate?"

"This is it for me, I won't keep going on these treasure hunts with you, when so much is at risk."

"Will, ye can't help what ya are, but you also can't help what ya have. You have a beautiful wife and now about to have two kids, I actually am not surprised that you decided on this. I don't know if I could do what you are doing, I respect for you doing it mate. Are you sure that you can ignore the call of the sea?"

"I don't know…Jack I will sail, but not for something I can live without."

"You would leave Elizabeth again?"

"I didn't leave her…I couldn't take her."

"Ye didn't answer my question…Would you leave her home alone again?"

"If I thought that it was too dangerous, yes."

"Then this won't be yer last adventure mate."

Will seemed to take in what Jack was saying, "Jack there is one more thing I wanted to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"If anything happens to me…anything, promise me you'll take care of Elizabeth, and my children, I trust you Jack, take care of my family."

"You never had to ask."

"Thank you Jack."
