(A/N) I lied, here's another!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Will sat at his daughter's bedside, it was a few days and she still hadn't woken, and although he knew Elizabeth tried her best, he knew Eve's wound was dire, and she could die.
"You know what I remember Eve? I remember the day you were born, and the first time I held you, I fell in love with your blue eyes, your rosy cheeks…" Will stopped as he wiped tears from his eyes. "I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you, as your father that is my job, not his…"
"Not anymore…" Jon said as he interrupted him.
"Get out." Will said bitterly.
"Will, I need to talk to you, it is important." Will looked at him, and he looked nervous. Will got up and went on deck with Jon.
"What is it?" Will asked angrily.
"There are things you don't know, things you should know. I should just say it…" Jon then swallowed hard. Jon then told his story, explaining every single detail. "Once we found out she was with child, we got married, that is when you found us. I'm sorry." Will's face was beat red, he quickly turned around and looked for Elizabeth, and when he found her in the galley he nearly blew his top.
"Did you know about them!" Will shouted. Will scared her so much she nearly dropped the tray she was carrying.
"He told me a few days ago. I figured it out myself." Elizabeth said.
"How!"
"Because I cleaned her blood! I washed my daughter away of her child!" Elizabeth screamed back. Elizabeth sat in the chair and began to cry. "Will, he loves her, for Christ sake can't you just deal with it…that boy is walking around broken hearted, and you aren't helping, his wife is on death's bed, and his child is dead, you should help him not trying to make his life miserable."
"I can't forgive this…" Will said angrily.
"Does that include your daughter too?" Elizabeth asked him, and when he didn't respond, she became angry. "If she dies, if Eve dies while you are hating her, I swear to you Will, you will know what hate is. That is my daughter, and I'll be damned if you will hate her for this, I'll be damned if she dies with her father hating her." Elizabeth got up and went to her daughters room and began to change her bandage.
"Your father will understand Eve, I promise…" Adam then walked in.
"Sorry, I thought no one was here."
"No come in." Elizabeth then quickly wiped her tears.
"What's wrong?" Adam asked as he put a comforting arm around her.
"Eve was carrying a child, and when the two found out they got married, and Will just found out. Will is mad at the both of them, he has hate in his heart for them. Laura is terrified that her sister is dying, William is worried about Emily, she is due in two months, and he is concerned for his sister, Jack and Jon aren't speaking, Jon is walking around so heartbroken, and I have no clue what to say to him…"
"What about you?"
"I'm trying to keep my daughter alive, as well as everyone else…when as a mother, I feel like doing the same, but I have to be strong for Eve, when I know she can't…she's my baby, I remember the day she was born, I remember her first words, steps…" Elizabeth then sobbed into his shoulder.
Jon watched as he saw Adam walk Elizabeth from the room, and he saw for the first time Elizabeth break emotionally. Jon walked in the room and spoke with Eve, as if it was she would be home in his arms tomorrow.
"Eve, I need you…" Jon started as he held her hand. "I don't know how to handle this, I don't know how to handle your father, he is so angry, he feels betrayed by the both of us. I want you to say you will fix this, because I can't, everything is a mess. I need you Eve, I want to be able to look in your eyes and tell you I love you, and I want to hear it from you…" Jon then lowered his head and wept quietly, then he felt a soft squeeze in his hand. Jon quickly looked up. "Eve?" Jon squeezed her hand and touched her forehead. "Open your eyes love…" Jon hoped she would hear him. "Please Eve, open your eyes, for me…" Slowly and soundly her eyes opened and looked at him. "Eve, I'm here…"
"Jon…" She whispered, her voice raspy.
"Don't talk, save your energy, I'm going to get your mother…" Jon began to get up but Eve held his hand and kept him there.
"I love you…" Eve then closed her eyes.
"Eve?" Jon's heart began to race.
"I'm here…" She whispered with her eye's closed. Jon then dashed out of the cabin and ran looking for Elizabeth. He found her at the helm, quietly weeping.
"Elizabeth, she's awake!" Elizabeth then ran into the cabin with Jon.
"Eve, darling, open your eyes for me…" Elizabeth spoke to her softly. "Jon stay outside, I don't need anyone else here, crowding the room."
"Ok sweetie, squeeze my hand…" Eve squeezed Elizabeth's hand and opened her eyes. Elizabeth placed her hand on Eve's forehead, she was running a fever, which was a sign of infection. Elizabeth went to the basin of water and took a piece of cloth, soaked up the water and took the cloth and placed it on Eve's forehead. "Your running a fever…"
"Infection…" Eve whispered softly. "Dad?"
"You want to see him…"
"I miss…"
"I know…" Elizabeth then exhaled loudly. "Alright…" Elizabeth went to the door and called Will in.
"Hey how are you feeling?" Will said as he sat down next to Eve.
"Tired…"
"So sleep…"
"No…not with you…" Eve then began to breathe heavily. Elizabeth rushed to the bed and hushed her daughter. "No…not with you mad…"
"Now is not the time…" Will said. Eve began breathing heavily and erratically, and she began to shiver with the fever.
"That's enough, Eve I want you to rest." Elizabeth stepped in and sent Will scooting out. Will was angry, angry at Jon, for telling her what happened, for telling her he was angry with her.
"You son of a bitch!" Will tackled Jon to the ground. Jon fought him off and punched Will in the face. "You told her everything! You told her I was angry with her!"
"I was trying to help her, because I don't know how to handle you! I don't know how to handle having you hate me, having you hate her, I need her to help you, and it worked because she know had something to fight for, she is fighting for you! Eve told me she admired you as a man of honesty, a man of your word, a decent, fair man…where is he!"
(A/N) A ha! Where is that fair man that we all have grown to love? Will is as stubborn as a mule, and we should all just come to grips with that...Will he be able to forgive Eve and Jon? What will Eve say to her father when she confronts him? Tune in next time!
