(A/N) Last one! Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Elizabeth sat in the parlor alone, knitting, crocheting, going out of her mind, Adam was coming a few days later than expected, so they waited, but they were leaving at the end of the week, whether he came or not. Elizabeth then heard someone come up the walkway and walked to the door as someone knocked on it.
"Adam!" Elizabeth squeaked.
"How are you Lizzy?" Adam said as he hugged her.
"As good as can be expected." She said as he placed a hand on her belly. "Come sit in here with me." They made their way to the parlor.
"So where are the children?" Adam asked.
"Will took them in town to show them the smithy."
"So your all alone?"
"No…" Just as Elizabeth was about to explain that she wasn't, Jack walked through the door with a tray of tea.
"Elizabeth, I got your tea…" Jack stopped when he saw Adam and gave him a nervous smile.
"Gone domestic on me?" Adam asked amused.
"No, no, no, just helping the lass out a bit." Jack said, his pride took a shot. Jack then took a seat across from them.
"No tea for me? Your a terrible hostess Jack." Adam said with a large grin.
"Shut up you..." Jack mumbled.
"Elizabeth, I already saw your father and he told me what happened a few days ago." Adam said turning to Elizabeth.
"Yes…"
"I could get rid of him for you." Adam said with a sly grin.
"No, leave him, his own misery will consume him someday. Does father know?" Elizabeth wanted to know if Adam had told him he was a pirate.
"No he doesn't, I might had sent the old man to his grave if I did, not only is his fair daughter a pirate, I think he would hate for it to be know that it ran in the family." Adam said with a smile.
"So how are you Jack?" Adam said turning his attention to Jack.
"Spiffy."
"When do you plan on leaving?" He asked openly.
"Well, we were going to leave once you got here, and since you are it should be tomorrow afternoon, we need to get out of here." Elizabeth said. The door then swung open and Will, William, and Eveie walked in.
"That was so much fun!" William said as he pretended to wave a sword around. "I challenge you to a duel!" William and Eveie then pretended to fight. They stopped when they saw Adam in the parlor.
"Adam!" They both shouted and ran towards him and jumped on him.
"Easy, not as young as I used to be!" Adam said playing with the children.
"When did he get in?" Will asked as he sat down next to Elizabeth.
"This morning, he saw father and then came here." Elizabeth said. Elizabeth then stood up. "I am going to start making dinner, my father should be coming."
"Are you sure? I can cook, and we could also avoid your father." Will said.
"No, we are leaving tomorrow, he needs to see his grandchildren one last time, because I do not intend on returning." Elizabeth then moved to the kitchen and began on dinner.
"I think we should check on the Pearl and Sovereignty tonight, make sure it is all up to par." Jack said.
"Yes, it will give Elizabeth time to settle things with her father." Will said.
"Daddy, can I go play in the yard?" Eveie asked.
"William, go with your sister." William reluctantly got up and took his little sister outside to play.
With them out of hearing's reach the three men spoke in hushed tones. "So what do you want to do about this commodore?" Adam asked.
"You wouldn't believe what I want to be done. But I just want to leave and never return." Will said.
"Entirely up to you, but if she was married to me…well let's say I'd have him taken care of." Adam said.
"I have to think of the big picture, I have two young children, and a third on the way, I don't want the entire Royal fleet hunting us. So I just want to leave it be." Will said.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
"Tonight, the plan shall be set in motion." Hushed whispers were spoken.
"Are you sure you want to go after the lass sir? She has allegiances that would put ours to shame."
"She owes a greater allegiance with me, more than any of them."
"What is this allegiance? I have yet to find out."
"Blood."
(A/N) Blood Allegiances! Well, next chapter, you should get tomorrow, will pick up in the action department, with a character(s) death...bwhahaha!
