DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE POTC CHARCATERS
"Are you alright? Jack told me what he said to you. He said it will take us another five or six months to get there, give you time to get your head around it" Elizabeth held Will's hand tight
" I thought he was dead. I thought he had been killed, yet he's been watching ships come in and out of Port for nearly fifteen years" Will broke down in tears, Elizabeth pulled him close stroking his head as he sobbed. She felt helpless; she couldn't ease his pain all she could do was comfort him when he needed it. Will fell asleep shortly afterwards and Elizabeth took the opportunity to go on deck.
"How is he? Elizabeth are you okay?" Jack had concern in his voice. Elizabeth was hanging over the side of the ship being sick; she was as white the bed sheets drying in the warm breeze.
" Sit down… I hope you haven't caught something I really don't want you to be ill. Here take a sip of this" Jack sat on the deck next to Elizabeth handing her a cup of water, he was concerned for her well being, what could possibly make her so ill so quickly? Then it dawned,
"Elizabeth… how long have you known you were pregnant?"
"About two months, I think I'm about three maybe four at most, I can't be any more than four Will and I have only been married for four months"
Jack wrapped his arms around her, " You need to tell him, he might come to terms with the news of his own father if he knows he's goin' to be one himself"
"I'll tell him tonight. It will be better coming from me. Thank you Jack"
" Not a problem. Now clean yourself up and go and lie down you look tired"
Jack helped Elizabeth to her feet and walked with her until they reached her cabin, then he left her to her own devices it was her job to tell Will the news. She turned the brass handle and opened the door. Gently she closed it behind her trying not to wake her sleeping husband, but it was no use he was already awake.
"Were did you go to?" His yawning interrupted Will's speech
Elizabeth began to undress, but once she got her dress off Will remarked that being on the ship meant that she had put on a little bit of weight.
" Look! When did you ever have belly? We'll need to have some exercise and get you back into shape!"
"I won't do any good Will"
"What do you mean? It might take a while but it will work"
"No, I won't lose weight Will I'll just gain it. I mean when you have a baby you have to expect to put on some kind of weight"
She lay down next to him on the bed and took his hands. She placed them at the tiny bump on her stomach, " Will this is your baby. Our baby" He didn't know what to do but his instincts soon kicked in and he pressed his ear to the bump listening for a heart beat. "Elizabeth Turner I love you more than life itself. I can't wait to have this baby with you!" Will took Elizabeth in his arms and held her tight they stayed like that all night.
