DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Will sat in a chair across the room looking at Elizabeth, holding his daughter. She was beautiful, she looked exactly like her mother, fair skin, big beautiful hazel eyes, rosy pink cheeks. His daughter was alive and actually well, Elizabeth did not come out as well, she was alive, but extremely weak, she had a fever, the doctor called it childbirth fever.

"Will, I will stay here with Elizabeth until I can do no more." Dr. Roberts said sadly as he watched Will admire his daughter. "You need to give the child a name."

Looking up at him Will shock his head no, "I will not name our daughter, Elizabeth is going to." The doctor walked out of the room, and came upon Jack who was still awaiting news.

"How is she mate?" Jack asked with some enthusiasm.

"Elizabeth gave birth to a girl, the baby is fine, to my surprise especially since she is a month early."

"What about Elizabeth?"

The doctor put his head down, "She does not fair as well as her daughter, she has childbirth fever, I have not seen many live through it, but she is young, that is in her favor, I suggest that you help your friend, he is devastated." The doctor then let Jack go inside the room.

"Will, mate?" Jack saw him sitting holding a small bundle in his arms.

"I can't do it without her, Jack, she cannot die." Tears began to fall from Will's eyes. Jack then glanced at Elizabeth, and then approached the bed, she was breathing, although shallow, she was pale, Jack saw death trying to wrap his fingers around her delicate neck.

"Will, I am here for you mate." Jack said looking at Elizabeth. Will did not answer, he just stared at his daughter. "Will, if I know one thing is that Elizabeth will want to raise a daughter, she had hoped for one the first time, she wants that little girl, and knowing the Elizabeth I know, she won't let meself have any influence over her." Than brought a small smile to Will's face.

"Jack, I am going to see if we have any bottles down in the kitchen, just watch over her." Will then left the room with his daughter. Jack sat down next to Elizabeth in bed, he felt saddened, Jack expected the worst, hoped for the best, but hope was fleeting for Elizabeth Turner.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It had been a week and a half since the birth of Will and Elizabeth's daughter. Elizabeth still had not woken up, she still shivered with chills, color faded from her. Will sat there in vigilance every day and night, on the occasion Jack was the only one Will would allow to replace him. Will could not imagine life without Elizabeth, he just could not. His life would become empty, lifeless, he might as just as well die. His daughter still had not a name, he was going to wait, Elizabeth had previously mentioned to him that if they were going to have a girl then she wanted to name it, she had not told him of the name.

It was another night and Will was by her bedside, the doctor had just left saying there was no improvement, and Jack was sitting in a chair across the room. His daughter and son were in Bill and Anamaria's care at the moment, and Will felt no worries to the welfare of his children, so he focused on Elizabeth. Will decided to do something that he hadn't done and hoped it would work, "Elizabeth, you must wake up my love, your daughter and son need their mother. Oh Elizabeth, our daughter is so beautiful, she looks just like you, you really must see her, she is beautiful, just like her mother. Elizabeth, I can't raise these children on my own, I can't, I need you, you always seem to know what to do with Jack, knows when he is hungry, or if he needs to be changed. Elizabeth I can't go on without you, I need you, I love you, please Elizabeth…" Jack listened to Will's words and felt sorry for the boy. "Elizabeth please wake up, I know we have had a rough time these past few months, but I need you to know I love you, and please Elizabeth, fight, for me." The words Will spoke of seemed to work. Elizabeth squeezed Will's hand.

"Jack!" Jack came rushing over.

"What?"

"She just squeezed my hand, she heard me, she'll be alright…"

"Will…" It was like music to his ears, Elizabeth was finally waking up.

"Elizabeth, I'm here. Look so is Jack." Jack sat further down from Will on the bed.

"Will, our baby…" Her voice was small and weak.

"She is fine Elizabeth…"

"She?"

"Yes we have a little girl…"

"Spitting image of her mother." Jack added.

"Yes Elizabeth, she looks just like you, beautiful."

"Will, I'm so tired."

"I know, but just stay with us a bit longer, Jack is going to get the doctor." Jack took that as his cue to get the doctor who had been staying with them down the hall.

"Good to see you awake Elizabeth…" The doctor said as he entered the room. "Let me see…" Will backed off the bed and let the doctor speak with Elizabeth,

"What are you feeling, dear?"

"Very…tired."

"Yes, how about physically? Anything in pain?"

"My entire body hurts, it is sore." Elizabeth said weakly.

"Elizabeth I want you to listen to me, you have survived something that most do not. I am ordering you to stay in bed for at least another two weeks, I will check on you in the morning then make my departure, I will return in two weeks time." The doctor then gave Will a glance and returned to his bedroom.

"Elizabeth, I was so worried about you…I want to ask you something…I haven't named our daughter, I want you to do it, give her a name." Elizabeth's response was immediate.

"Emma Lila Turner…I want to name her after your mother as well as mine."

"How did you know? I never told you…" Will was surprised.

"Your father told me when we were in Lisbon. Will I am so tired…" Elizabeth finally closed her eyes and fell asleep. Will just kissed her forehead and walked out of the room with Jack.

"See mate, she is fine." Jack said.

"I know, thank God." Will then looked incredibly tired to Jack.

"Will, maybe you should get some rest, I'll stay with Elizabeth."

"Thank you Jack."

"No problem mate."

MY MY MY HOW THE PLOT THICKENS!
