Jack had been away for months and had risked life and limb to return to his friends. He had been in Port Royal to pick up a few supplies when he heard of Mrs. Turner's condition. There was nothing that could keep him from returning to their side. Now as he stood in the door way and saw the darkness in Young Will's eyes he wondered if he wasn't already too late. There had always been a light in Will's eyes, even when all hope seemed lost to most. Now it was the other way around. Jack walked up to Elizabeth's bedside and took her hand in his. Gently he brought it to his lips and planted a soft kiss.
"Ye must be Cap'in Jack Sparrow," Katlin said as she rose and took Jack's hat and coat.
"Aya, that be me," he replied as a ghost of his famous smile crossed his face. He then turmed to Will who looked like death warmed over several times.
""Ave you saved in a month lad," Jack asked as he pulled Will from his chair. "You got to care better for ye'r self me boy. What would Lizzy say?"
"Not you too Jack. That's all I have heard today. I can't leave her alone. I must be here for her."
"Now Master Will, sir, how's it you do her any good in the state ya be in now? Ye'r no good ta no one right now sir. You got to take better care Master Will. Thar be no sense in this," Katlin said as she laid a cool rag on Elizabeth's fore head. Suddenly Elizabeth began to jerk violently and grasp a t the sheets. "Send for the Doc quick as ye can," Katlin yelled as she tried to comfort her Young Misstress. Will was by Elizabeth's side at once and Jack was out the door.
There was no good news given by the Doctor Trivile on that night. A baby boy and a baby girl were delivered and both look near death's door. After the ordeal of child birth Elizabeth seemed to be fading fast.
"Mr. Turner, I shall give you no false hope. I do not see any of them surviving the rest of the night. I have done all I can for them. It is in God's hands now," the Doctor said as he placed his hat upon his head and ventured out into the rainy, summer night. Will forced himself to stay standing. Katlin could she the struggle in his eyes. She knew he was fighting colapse. Gently she placed her arm around his back and lead him into the parlor.
"Sit a while, sir. I'll tend ta Misstress Elizabeth."
"How many times must you be told to call us Will and Lizzy," he asked as he laid his head back aginst the pillow she had placed there.
"Atleast once one," she replied as she turned to leave the room.
"Will you stay?" She turned at his question. Leaving had never entered her mind.
"Why do ye ask sir?"
"There will be rumors if you stay on Katlin. You are a beautiful young woman and there will be talk."
"I don't know what ya mean sir," she lied as she pulled at the wrinkles in her skirt.
"You exactly what I mean. Will you stay?"
"I could neaver leave you and the Misstress sir. Specially now with the young ones here. You don't need to fear fer what wont come ta pass," she answered as she turned again and left the room. "Will."
"Ye must be Cap'in Jack Sparrow," Katlin said as she rose and took Jack's hat and coat.
