DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Mom, guess what Adam taught me!" William came running up to her.
"What?" He then grabbed her hand and tugged her into his room. Eveie was sitting on the bed ready to watch the show. Elizabeth sat next to her, picked her up and placed her on her lap.
"Watch…" William then took out his wooden sword, and swung it and moved it about, quite well. When he was done he bowed and accepted his applause from his mother and sister.
"That was wonderful!" Elizabeth said.
"Do it again William!" Eveie shouted.
"No, to keep the public in demand, I must keep my performances scarce." He said haughtily. Eveie then jumped from her mother's lap and played with her brother. Elizabeth leaned back in the chair and felt the baby move within her. From what she had went through she was surprised she had no complications, concerning the pregnancy. Every kick she felt, and she loved feeling it, it let her know, it reminded her, that another one was along the way, and she smiled.
"Mommy, what are you doing?" Eveie asked, taking a break from playing with her dolls.
"Feeling the baby. Do you want to feel?" Elizabeth asked both children.
"Can we?" William asked.
"Come on." Both then jumped on the bed next to their mother. Elizabeth lifted her shirt, enough that her stomach showed. "Ok give me your hands." They both outstretched their hands. "Put them on my belly." William and Eveie placed their hands on their mother's stomach.
"I don't feel anything." Eveie said.
"I know just wait." Then the baby kicked again. This time they felt it.
"Wow, mom do you feel him all day?" William asked.
"Yes, he kicks, moves, everything." Elizabeth said as he kicked again. Will opened the door and peeked through, and smiled at the endearing sight.
"Dad, come here and feel this!" William said as he saw his father. Will sat next to him on the bed and put his hand on Elizabeth's stomach, and felt his child kick, he smiled at Elizabeth.
"You know, I felt the both of you while you were in your mother's stomach." Will said to his children.
"Who kicked the hardest?" William asked. Both Elizabeth and Will laughed.
"I think it was pretty even." Will said. "Isn't it time for the two of you to head to bed?"
"No, I think you've got your timing off." William said, trying to get out of going to bed.
"I don't think so, come on, off the bed so your mother can get up." Will then reached his hand up and helped Elizabeth to her feet.
"I love you." Elizabeth said as she tucked Eveie into her bed.
"Mommy, do you think it is a girl or a boy?" Elizabeth then leaned in closer to her daughters ear.
"If we're lucky, a girl." Eveie then giggled.
Will then put William to bed, "Dad, can I show you what Adam taught me?"
"When we get back from the island. Gibbs should be out the door if you need him tonight. We will be going to the island very early in the morning."
"Ok, love you Dad." William said as he snuggled into his sheets.
"Love you too, son." Will then kissed him on the forehead. Then Elizabeth and Will switched sides and wished their other child good night. As they quietly shut the door behind them, they headed down the corridor to their own bedroom. They hadn't spoke to one another since the incident with Robert.
"Will you know we can't keep going like this." Elizabeth said as she shut the door.
"I know." He said as he sat down on the bed.
"I don't want to argue anymore, I don't want to be angry with you, I don't want you to be angry with me."
"I agree." Elizabeth then became annoyed by his lack of feeling.
"Is that all your going to say to me?" She asked her hands placed firmly on her hips.
"What do you want me to say Elizabeth! I'm sorry that I think your brother is a lying deceitful bastard! I won't because I can't stand him!" Will was angry, his eyes blazing.
"I am not asking you to like him! I am not asking you for anything! All I want is for us to be the way we were, I want you to love me the way we were, not the way we are now!" She shouted back.
"I have never stopped loving you!" He was hurt.
"I didn't say that either. You are so angry that you can't see what is in front of you…I can feel the anger when you hug me, when you kiss me, when you speak to me. We never used to be this way."
"It's because of him." Will said.
"No, it's because of you. If you want me to cut all ties with him, if you want me to ask Jack to kick him off this ship, maroon him, whatever it is you want me to do I'll do it. If you want me to stay with you tonight and love you, then I am yours to love…" Elizabeth put her hands on his face. "Will, what do you want from me?"
"Elizabeth…" Will got up and crossed the room. Elizabeth felt tears burn her cheeks.
"Will, what did I do that was so wrong that you can't even look at me in the eyes?" She was pleading with him.
"You brought him here. He took you from me! We could have just left him!"
"Will I had no clue he even existed! You blame me is that it!" Elizabeth then wiped the tears from her eyes. "You know what, I can't do this. I am so tired of arguing with you. Your blaming me for something I had no control over, and I just don't understand that, I don't understand you. Will, when you can tell me what you want…you know where you'll find me…"
Elizabeth then started to head out the door but Will grabbed her arm, "Elizabeth…"
Elizabeth looked in his eyes, "No, Will. Find out what you want first." Elizabeth then continued out the door, but stopped as she shut the door, she slid down it sobbing, she jumped when she heard Will knock over a chair. She slowly got up and went on deck, she couldn't speak anymore, she wouldn't, it was now up to him.
The cool Caribbean air hit her face like salt on an open wound. She cried openly, both her and Will were hurting, hurting each other. Jack saw her walk out from below deck, and he saw her face, she looked devastated, and Will was probably no better.
"Elizabeth? Can I talk to you?" Jack said.
"I'm tired of talking Jack, I am not in the mood. But if you feel the need to try and fix this, I think Will is the one you need to talk to." Jack nodded and followed her advice. As Jack disappeared below deck, Robert took that as his chance to talk to Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth?" He spoke softly.
"Go away." Elizabeth said annoyed, "Why does everyone feel the need to meddle in?"
"Because I don't like to see you this upset." He touched her shoulder. She turned to him and hugged him, crying on his shoulder.
"Why can't he forgive me?" Elizabeth cried hysterically. "Why does he blame me?"
"You did nothing wrong Elizabeth. I took you away, there were better ways to get in contact with you." He petted her hair. "I'm sorry."
"Get away from her." Will growled.
"I will not, someone needs to let her know that your acting like a complete ass!" Robert spat. Will grabbed him by the throat, and both tussled, throwing punches at each other.
"Stop it!" Elizabeth shouted she tried to grab Robert's arm but she was shoved to the ground. "Jack! Adam! Someone stop them, before they kill each other!" Elizabeth shouted, grabbing her back in pain. Jack came running from below deck, as did Adam and broke the two up.
"That's enough!" Jack shouted. "I won't have this, no more, I'm too old for this childish behavior!" Jack then turned and looked around. "You two need to cool off…Gibbs, Charles, take these two and lock them in the brig."
"Jack you can't mean that." Will said.
"I do, if we are going to work together, then we have to get along." Gibbs and Charles then took them down to the brig.
Jack looked for Elizabeth who was being looked at by Adam. "Are you alright?" He asked as he bent down next to Adam.
"Fine. This is going to stop, right now." Elizabeth said.
"How are you going to do that?" Adam asked as he helped her up.
"Once we are finished, I am cutting all ties with Robert." Elizabeth said walking away.
"Are you sure you can do that?" Jack asked.
"Yes." Elizabeth then made her way to the brig.
(A/N) Is Elizabeth making the right choice? Does Robert have something up his sleeve? Is Will being unreasonable? Let me know, I'd love to know what you guys think!
