DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

It was a month until Elizabeth was due to have the baby, and that had everyone on edge. Several times she had to stay in bed due to pains she was having, when the doctor came and checked up on her, he confirmed that it was just pre-labor pains, nothing to worry about. Elizabeth wondered if it was due to the events of the previous months, she had been through a lot. Will hoped that she did not go into labor early, the doctor told him that would jeopardize, the baby's as well as Elizabeth's health.

It was early in the morning, and Elizabeth was awake, she was finding it hard to sleep, considering her large stomach was getting in the way. She sat in a rocking chair, finishing the quilt she started, and looked into the sea, the breeze calmed her, it let her think, it let her breathe. Elizabeth heard Will get up in bed.

"How are you feeling?" Will asked as he placed his arms around her shoulders.

"Good, better today." Will then leaned in and gave her a kiss.

"I'm going to check on Jack, then head downstairs to start breakfast." Will said. Will was picking up the chores that Elizabeth could no longer do, which was most of them, and she appreciated it, she loved him for it.

"Alright, Jack sit here." Will said as he put him in his high chair. Jack sat there and played with a few toys while Will got breakfast together, fruit, toast, and eggs. Just as he was finishing up Elizabeth was walking in the kitchen.

"What are you doing here? You should be resting."

"Will, I feel fine, don't worry about me."

"I do worry about you, here sit." Will lead Elizabeth to a small table and chairs.

"Will, honestly I…"

"Shhsh, here." Will pulled Jack's highchair towards them and they sat down and eat breakfast. When they started cleaning up, someone was knocking on the front door.

"I'll get it." Elizabeth said. When Elizabeth opened the door, it was Jack and Anamaria.

"Morning luv, every time I see ye, ye get bigger." Elizabeth frowned at his statement.

Jack noticed this, mainly due to the pinch Jack got from Anamaria, "I mean not big, but your getting bigger for the baby…" Elizabeth smiled as he stammered over his statement.

"It's alright Jack, your off the hook." She winked at Anamaria as they came in.

"Thank you." He said as he put his hands together. "Where's Will?"

"In the kitchen…"

"Good." Jack, Anamaria, and Elizabeth then went in the kitchen, where Will was putting the dishes away.

"Will, yer father wanted me to tell ye that he needs to have a talk with ya."

"Why?"

"Didn't say, just wanted you to drop by."

"I'll go talk with him, I'll take Jack with me, it would be good for him to see his grandpa." Will then kissed Elizabeth and went towards his father's home.

"Jack, I'm going to head to the Pearl and check on Joshua, see if he needs anything." Anamaria said.

"Alright." Anamaria then kissed Jack goodbye.

"Jack, are you busy?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, why luv?" Jack said with a mouthful of fruit in his mouth. Elizabeth then smiled at him.

"I want to go for a walk on the beach."

"Are you sure? I don't think Will would let you."

"Oh please, I feel fine, come on, it'll be fun." Elizabeth was cooped up inside the house for a month, she wanted to go outside, and if Jack was her ticket out of there then she was going to go, besides she was fine, no harm in a walk.

"Why do I have a feeling that this is a bad idea?"

"It's just a walk…"

"Fine." Jack then lead Elizabeth outside towards the beach.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Father…" Will said as he walked through the front door of Bill's home.

"In 'ere son." Bill was sitting in a large plush chair in the parlor. Will sat down across from him letting Jack scamper up to his grandfather's lap.

"Jack said you wanted to talk to me about something…what is it?"

"Well son, I didn't need te tell ye something, show you is more like it. See that box there on the table…" Will picked up the box and placed it on his lap.

"What is it?" Will asked.

"Open it." Will opened the box for it to reveal a necklace that had, what looked like a small ring on it. Will picked it up out of the box and held it up in the air.

"It was your mother's, I gave her the ring soon after you were born. I didn't give you it when Jack was born because, Jack really wanted to give Elizabeth that necklace of hers, he said it was important. Will, I want you to give it to Elizabeth."

"Father, this was my mother's…" Will was still awestruck.

"Yes…"

"Thank you." Will got up and hugged his father.

"Tank you grandpa!" Jack was saying from his grandfather's lap.

"Didn't think I forgot about you?" Bill then pulled out a small toy wooden boat and handed it to Jack.

"Grandpa is the best!" Jack said gleefully as he jumped out of his lap and played with it on the floor.

"Will, you should get back to Elizabeth…"

"Yes, she has a lot of trouble with having this baby…with Jack it was such a breeze, I know she is scared. To tell you the truth I am too, I'm not sure if she could handle a difficult birth, she is still a bit weak from the island."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, Elizabeth is a strong woman, she'll be fine, I promise." Bill said with a smile.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Jack, for heaven's sake it is just a walk." Elizabeth said as she walked with Jack.

"Yes, but this bit of a walk of yours could cost me a limb…if Will finds out."

"He won't…Don't worry I'll protect you." Elizabeth said as she laughed.

"What the hell are you doing now?!" Jack yelped as Elizabeth dashed into the water.

"Just a little swim…"

"Elizabeth what if ye…" Jack started.

"What if I what Jack? You need to lighten up!" Elizabeth then went further until she was waist high in water.

"Well, that's a first, Jack Sparrow lighten up?" Jack mumbled to himself as he sat down in the sand watching Elizabeth swim.

"Elizabeth, don't ye think you should wrap it up?"

"Alright." Elizabeth said reluctantly. As she waddled towards Jack she stopped suddenly and looked down and placed her hand on her stomach. Blood was seeping through her nightgown, something was wrong. Jack immediately was on his feet and by her side as she slumped into the water.

"Elizabeth what's wrong?"

"I think it's the baby, I may be in labor, I don't know." Elizabeth said as she held her breath in pain. "Jack help me in the house, send for a doctor." Jack then gathered her up in his arms and took her in the house and put her in bed. Before he turned to go out the door she grabbed his hand.

"Jack, get Will, I'm scared." Pain was engulfing her body, Jack could see it in her face.

"Right, luv."
