DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

It had been three months since Will left for Spain. Jack was now walking fine on his own, and Elizabeth welcomed the growth in her stomach, also welcoming the dismissal of morning sickness. She was outside with Jack watering her flower garden, she was wearing a long white dress with a large hat to protect herself from the scorching sun. Elizabeth loved her flowers, she did not have the heart to place them in vases, she let them grow wildly.

"Mommy, I want to play in water." Jack said.

"Alright then." Elizabeth then pulled out her hand and her and Jack walked down by the beach that was parallel to the docks. He played in the water and Elizabeth made sure she kept her eye on him. Out of the corner of her eye, however, she saw a small boat headed towards the docks, she picked Jack up and walked onto the dock. It was the postmaster, John, he waved to her as he pulled up in his small sail boat.

"Mrs. Turner, how are you?" He said as he tied his boat up.

"Good, how are you John?"

"Fine, got a letter for you. It looked important so I decided I'd drop it by."

"That is a little more than a drop by." Elizabeth said as she giggled.

"Well, I best be going, I'll see you around Mrs. Turner."'

"Thank you John." Elizabeth then turned around and headed to the house, Jack walking on her side. Once inside she went into the kitchen and put Jack in his chair, sat down, and opened the letter, it was from her cousin Jonathan.

Dear Elizabeth,

I have missed you so much I hope you are loving life. This letter is a bit more than a 'how are you?' I have a bit of news for you, your father has written me from England, and he has told me that former Commodore James Norrington has been released from the Navy's custody, he was honorably discharged. I write to you because I know of your history with this man. Elizabeth be careful, I fear for your safety. I look forward to your letters.

With All My Love

Jonathan

Elizabeth read the letter twice over, 'Honorably discharged? How can that be?' Elizabeth quickly rushed to the front door and locked it as well as the door in the kitchen. She was literally terrified, no one was here to save her, if Norrington was coming for her she would be defenseless. She took Jack upstairs with her to put him down for a nap. Elizabeth then went back downstairs to the kitchen to start dinner. She was chopping up celery when she thought she heard something coming from the parlor. She put down the knife and walked in the parlor and found nothing, 'Your losing your mind…' Elizabeth said to herself, when she reentered the kitchen the sight before her caused her to scream.

"Elizabeth…your looking lovely…" Norrington sneered. Elizabeth could not believe her eyes, he looked totally different, his clothes were rugged, his hair was disheveled, nothing about him was the Commodore she once knew. Elizabeth tried to turn around and run but he caught her from behind and held a knife to her throat. "Where are you headed off to?"

"Nowhere…"

"Come now, Elizabeth, you don't have to lie, or is that pirate of a husband of yours rubbing off on you." James pressed the knife closer to her throat.

"Please let me go…Will shall be home soon."

"That is a lie too Elizabeth, I don't see the Pearl, and there is no one here but you. Where is your child?" Elizabeth's instincts kicked on, she was not about to let him harm Jack. So she did something that Anamaria taught her, she kicked up her left leg and his him square in the groin. When he fell to the floor in an obvious sign of pain she ran upstairs to the nursery and locked the door behind her, she picked up Jack, opened the door and peeked out of it, she didn't see James, so she decided to make a run for it. She darted out of the room and ran down the hallway to the back staircase which lead out towards the docks, she would make her way to the Chariot which was still anchored there and try and make a run for it, it was worth a shot. As she ran across the grass to the dock something caught her from behind and pulled her to the ground, Jack was also tossed to the ground.

"NO!" Elizabeth said as she tried to reach for her son. Relief ran over her as she saw him get up. "Get off of me!" She then spat in James's face. Both struggled on the ground for a while until Norrington gained the upper hand and pulled her up by her hair, he picked Jack up by his other hand and dragged the two into the house. Jack was screaming uncontrollably. Norrington then put Jack in his highchair and sat Elizabeth down in a chair. Jack wouldn't stop crying.

"What do you want?" Elizabeth asked him.

"You ruined my life, we could have had a future together, we could have been a family, I want you to suffer." Norrington became increasingly annoyed at Jack who was now wailing, he slapped him in the face.

"YOU BASTARD!" Elizabeth then jumped on him and tried to wrestle him to the ground, but it was no use he grabbed her on the neck and flipped her over him, slamming her to the ground. Elizabeth's head was screaming with pain, Norrington picked her back up and put the knife up to her stomach.

"Another baby, by the whelp!" This seemed to anger him more.

"Leave her be!" A familiar voice was heard, one Elizabeth never thought she would hear again.
