(A/N) I am too good to you guys! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

By the time Will woke up the next morning, Elizabeth was already out of bed. As he made his way on deck, he saw Jack showing her how to tie up some rigging.

"If you forget to tie this here…it will snap back and likely take out your legs…" Jack said nonchalantly.

"Christ…" Elizabeth whispered to herself.

"How long till we reach Tortuga?" Elizabeth asked.

"This afternoon." Elizabeth then noticed Will walking towards them and smiled at him.

"Good morning you lazy slug." Jack said. "No more late mornings, next time I'll throw you overboard." Jack then walked away. Elizabeth needed to speak with Will, about a rather important issue.

"Will, I need to talk with you…" Elizabeth said taking his arm and walking with him to other side of the ship.

"What's wrong?"

"I forgot the elixir at home." Elizabeth said nervously.

"Ok…" Will then suddenly got the hint. "Your not…"

"For Christ sake Will! Of course not! What I am trying to say is that after last night's escapades, so to speak, we should be careful…Without the elixir we run a high risk…"

"Maybe we should just get some in Tortuga…"

Elizabeth was shocked by his response, she truly believed he wouldn't put it off any further…she hoped at the time she left Port Royal, he would want the family she hungered for, but she was wrong. "Yes, of course, right, I'll make sure that's the first thing I get." Elizabeth tried her best to keep the bright smile on her face, but she felt it quickly fading. "I have something to do…" Elizabeth then hurried off below deck and locked herself into their cabin.

The slowly sat down on the bed and started to cry…Elizabeth couldn't for the life of her could not understand why Will wouldn't start a family…soon they would get their own ship, their own crew, sail the sea alone, perhaps he didn't want children, he was just telling her 'next year Elizabeth' every time she brought it up to ease her pain. Elizabeth sat there and thought…and finally it came to her…she quickly marched up on deck towards Jack and Will who were talking in a low tone.

"So what were the two of you arguing about yesterday?" Elizabeth said angrily.

"Nothing." Both said in unison, Elizabeth then knew they were both lying to her.

"What do you think I am? A bloody idiot! Did you honestly think I wouldn't figure it out!" Elizabeth was yelling at the top of her lungs.

"Find out what?" Jack said trying to keep her calm.

"You, keep your mouth shut! Will, I swear you had better tell me the truth…" Her voice turned bitter.

"Are you upset because I told you to get more of the elixir?" Will asked accusing. Jack stepped back, Elizabeth was about to blow her top.

"Don't you bloody dare use that against me…" Elizabeth's eyes then filled with tears, "How could you use that against me?" Elizabeth was beyond hurt, she felt betrayed.

"Well is it true? You were fine earlier…" Will was not meaning to hurt her, the less Elizabeth knew about Barbossa, the better for her, if that meant she would hate him then so be it.

"You're a bastard." Elizabeth then slapped him across the face. She then went below deck. Will sat their watching her leave, his eyes glazed over with tears.

"You alright mate?" Jack asked, seeing the hurt expression on Will's face.

"Was I convincing?" Will asked somberly.

"Well she hates you. That was pretty rotten, you couldn't think of something else?"

"No, that was the only thing that I knew that would get to her…I had to use it…but now she is suspicious of Barbossa, she knows something isn't right…"

"Captain?" Gibbs interrupted them.

"Yes mister Gibbs." Jack answered.

"We're here." Jack turned and saw that they were in fact docked in Tortuga.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The Pearl had been docked in Tortuga for several hours, and Will had not seen Elizabeth since their 'argument'. He felt awful about hurting her that way, but he needed her to have her mind on something else than Barbossa, it would keep her alive, and if that meant she was concentrating on hating him, then that would be the cost. Will decided that since he hadn't seen Elizabeth in a while he would go check on her at least.

"Elizabeth?" Will called through the door as he knocked on it. She didn't answer him.

"Elizabeth, it's Will open the door…" Still no answer. Will then tried opening the door, locked…

"What are you doing?" Jack asked as he saw Will trying to open the door.

"Do you have a key?"

"Does it bloody look like I carry keys on meself all bloody day?" Jack asked.

"Then could you just help me open the door."

"Maybe she doesn't want to talk to you."

"No, she would have let me in to yell at me…" Will then tried to use his shoulder to break down the door, with no luck.

"Do I have to show you everything?" Jack then lifted his foot and kicked the door down. When they stepped in they found that Elizabeth was gone.

"This can't be good." Jack said.

"She is in Tortuga all by herself!" Will yelped as he climbed up the stairs, Jack followed.

"Then we'll go find her…" The two then ran into the city looking for Elizabeth.

(A/N) Just a note before I get any flames...I am not trying to make Will to be the bad guy, he's not, he is just trying to keep Elizabeth uninformed...now try and guess what her reaction may be. Oh yeah, what the hell one more chapter, the next is one of my favorites!
