They call for a doctor after Lynn's fall down the stairs. She can see again. She and Jack brake it of and so do Elizabeth and Will. But will it be a permanent brake up? Let's find out shall we?

chapter 18: Discouvered in absence

Still a little nervous Lynn knocked on the door to Will's shop.

"Come in!" she heard his familiar voice from the other side of the door. She opened the door and walked in. Everything was dark. She wondered what she would find. How Will was doing after a two months not seeing him. The day after their talk Jack had left Port Royal with the Pearl and his crew. For a week or two Lynn stayed with Will and Elizabeth moved back into the manor. She smiled when she saw the young blacksmid working hard on one of his now famous swords.

"Hello Will." she said softly. He looked up at her and smiled.

"Lynn? Is it really you?" Lynn smiled as she ran her fingers trough her now short hair.

"You look so..."

"I know diffrent." It was true. When he last saw her she had looked so fragile. It broke his heart to see her go, and now she looked like a powerfull, strong woman. He wondered what had changed her so much.

"I went to Tortuga for a while. I wanted to find my father." she stated.

"Did you?"

"No, but I did get a lot of men claiming they knew him. They'd gladly give me some information in exchange for..."

"Lynn you didn't?"

"No don't worry...I'm not that stupid." she walked in further and pulled Will into a hug. "I'm sorry I didn't contact you sooner...How are you?"

"Honest?" Lynn nodded. "Not really good."

"What happened."

"Elizabeth married Norrington and he's been rubbing it in my face ever since the ceremony." Lynn offered Will a faint smile.

"She wasn't worthy of you." she stated. Will nodded.

"I don't give a damn about what she does...I'm happy the way I am." He guided Lynn into the back room. "Do you want something to drink?" he asked her. Lynn shook her head.

"I actually need your help." Lynn stated. Will turned to her with his eyebrow arched.

"What is it?"

"I..." she stuttered. "I don't know if I can say this."

"I'm your friend! You can tell me anything." Lynn smiled as she reached out to Will and placed her palm against the side of his face.

"I'm so glad that you're here...I'm scared."

"Of what? What do you need my help for?" Will asked getting a little scared himself.

"I need to find Jack." He backed away in surprise. Those words were the last words he ever expected to hear from Lynn.

"Why would you want to find him?" she sensed the anger in his voice. Lynn didn't answer, but Will saw tears welling up in the corner of her eyes. "Why Lynn?"

"Because...I'm pregnant." she sobbed. Will gasped and hurried over to her to take her into his arms and comforting her.

"Are you sure?" he whispered. Lynn nodded. "God Lynn...And it's Jack's child?" again she nodded.

"There was nobody else...it has to be his."

"But after what Jack did...Are you going to take him back?"

"I just want him to know he'll be a father...I won't take him back. Besides he's probably forgotten all about me allready."

"She's not in Tortuga any more captain." Jack nodded.

"Did you find out why she was hear?"

"Asking questions, she wanted to find someone...that's all I've got." Jack smiled.

"Thanks mr Gibbs, that will be all. I'll return to my cabin now. Set sail for Port Royal as soon as possible." mr Gibbs nodded and Jack walked to his cabin where he dropped himself on his bunk. After staring at the ceiling for a while he sat up, leaning his back against the headboard as he grabbed a sketchblock from underneath the matrass. He flipped trough the countless pictures he had drawn of Lynn. He stared at the last one he had drawn...a picture that had somewhat frightened him. It was her sleeping in his bed cuddled up to him, her hand draped over the side of the bed. And when he thought it was finished he realised something was missing. Before he realised what he had done he had drawn a band around her ringfinger...perfect.

"Do you have any idea how much your costing me? First eating all my food and then trowing up again." He grinned amused as he watched Lynn leaning out the window.

"I'm sorry...I'll pay you back." she said. Will chuckled.

"I was kidding. Trow up all you want...you're pregnant, it isn't your fault." Lynn smiled. She looked extremely pale. "Why don't you sit down a bit and I'll bring you some bread?"

"That would be great thanks." Lynn smiled. Will left the room to return a second later with the bread. He let Lynn eat peacefully and when she was finished he started talking.

"You know Lynn...I don't think it'll be easy to find Jack." she nodded. "And even if you do you can't be sure he'll accept you or the child." she nodded again. "I was thinking...Why don't we raise the baby together? I'll treat it as if it was my own. I'll love it and take care of both of you."

"Do you mean you want to marry me?" Lynn asked shocked. Will nervously paced around the room a few times and came to a halt in front of the window.

"Well...Yes, I guess. Just for the child of course." He watched as a smile slowly appeared on Lynn's face. That had to be a good sign right.

"Oh...my...God...it's the Pearl." Lynn said as she jumped up and pointed out the window. "He's here..."
