"Will where are ye lad?" Jack called as he entered Bill's home.
"We're in 'ere Jack." Bill said. Jack rounded the corner into the parlor and saw Will, Bill, and, Jack.
"Will, Elizabeth was swimming and she…I'm sorry…she is bleeding…blood everywhere." Jack was saying trying to catch his breath, Will noticed Jack's blood stained hands.
"Jack where is she?" Will said worried.
"At home." Will bolted out the door even before Jack could finish sentence.
"Bill can ye watch the kid, have to get the doctor."
"Right, go ahead." After Jack had gone, Bill looked at his grandson who was staring back at him.
"Is mommy ok?"
"Of course she is, ye know I think I still have some cookies your mommy made me in the kitchen. Want some?"
"Yea!" Jack then skipped into the kitchen. Bill was going to have to watch him till he knew Elizabeth was alright.
"Elizabeth!" Will called out her name as he ran upstairs to their bedroom. When he looked upon his bed, it was stained with blood, something was wrong, something was happening to his wife and child. Elizabeth was deathly pale, sweat was pouring from her face, and obvious signs of pain were seen on her face.
"Will…it hurts so much…" Elizabeth said weakly as she held his hand.
"I know, I'm here everything will be alright." Elizabeth then curled up in a ball and let out a shriek of pain. Her breathing became rapid and heavy, she was going into labor, a month early. Will laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, not knowing what to do, all he could do was comfort her. The doctor warned of this, she was going to have a difficult birth, Will feared this only because Elizabeth was still weak from her previous injuries.
"Will, I'm scared…" Elizabeth said weakly.
"Me too." 'Where the bloody hell is Jack?' Will thought to himself. It felt like hours before Jack had returned with the doctor.
"Will, I need room to examine her, you need to leave for a while." Dr. Roberts said as he sat down next to her in bed. Will reluctantly left the room with Jack.
"Jack, what if I lose her? We just found our way back to each other." Will said.
"Yer not going to lose her mate…she's a spitfire, she'll be alright." Jack said as he put his hand on Will's shoulder. It wasn't long before the doctor returned with news.
"Doctor, is she alright?" Will asked eagerly.
"Will, Elizabeth is indeed in labor. I have stopped the bleeding, and now we need to deliver in a hurry. I don't like to see a premature birth, but we shall deal with it. Both Elizabeth and the child are in jeopardy, you need to be in there with her."
"Doctor, is my wife going to die?"
With hesitation he answered slowly, "I will be honest with you, it does not look good for her…" The doctor then went back inside the bedroom and Will turned back to Jack.
"Jack will you stay here? I…"
"Will, go." Will then walked into the bedroom.
"Jack?" Anamaria said as she joined him. "What's going on?"
"Elizabeth went into labor. Listen I need you to go to Bill's, Jack is there, and I'm sure Bill could use your help, that way Will and Elizabeth won't worry."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes luv, I can handle things here..."Anamaria kissed him, and she walked down the stairs and out the door.
Elizabeth was ill, very ill. The doctor instructed her on what to do, and Will was by her side, he was going to handle with whatever was to happen.
"Elizabeth, I know that you may no feel up to it, but I need you to walk around."
"What?" Elizabeth said more than annoyed.
"It will help the birth along, you need to do this." Will then helped Elizabeth up from bed, she was so weak, she could barely stand. "I will continue on preparing the room."
When the door opened Jack was shocked to see Will and Elizabeth walk out of the room. Will was grasping her arm, and Elizabeth was pale, she looked nothing like herself.
"What's going on?" Jack asked Will.
"The doctor told Elizabeth to walk, that it would help with the birth." Jack then went on the other side of Elizabeth and held her hand. She looked up at him and smiled, she was glad Jack was there by her side through one of the most difficult times in her life, the child she was carrying was in peril. They walked up and down the halls pausing every so often as Elizabeth's contractions became more intense, an hour went by, she could no longer move, it was time.
"Will, I can't go any further…please bring me to bed." Will then picked her up, with a quick glance at Jack he took her back to bed, where the doctor was waiting.
"Ok, Elizabeth, you need to start pushing on the contractions, I know it will be hard, but you must if you want this child to come into this world." Elizabeth nodded. The delivery was long and hard, three hours had passed, and finally a child was born.
