Chp. 3: A Child is Coming

Numbness swept through Will. "What?" He knew that he looked as though he had been slapped again.

"You're just like your father!" she yelled and ran from the room.

He stood stock-still. He couldn't move. He couldn't feel. The world was ripped away, like a carpet yanked from under his feet.

"You all right mate?" came Jack's hollow voice.

"Jack," he whispered, more to himself. "She's pregnant."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Elizabeth," he whispered.

She was lying on the floor, sobbing, hiding behind several shelves in the kitchen. He knelt next to her, and she turned her tear-stained face towards him. He felt his heart crumble as he looked at his wife lying before him; broken by him.

"It's all right." He picked her up, and carried her to their room in his strong arms. "Nothing's going to happen to you. I won't let it," he added, solemnly promising to her.

"I'm sorry," she sobbed into his chest, hiding her face as though of shame.

"There's nothing to be sorry about," he answered, laying her down on their bed. He lay next to her while she sobbed and held her in his arms, not ever releasing her, and giving her a shoulder to cry on. He didn't want to release her, he wouldn't leave her.

She would occasionally mumble about being a burden, and stupid. He would soothe her by stroking her hair, and whispering in her ear. After a while she cried herself to sleep. He was going to mend what he had broken, he promised to her in her sleep, and he went to talk to Jack. There was no way in Hell that he was leaving Elizabeth, at least not yet.

"Fine," Jack answered. "But Barbossa won't wait for your wife to have a child."

"Will!"

Elizabeth had returned to the drawing room.

"I thought you'd left me." Fresh tears were rolling down her already tear-streaked face.

He crossed the room, embracing her, as she sobbed into his chest. "I'm acting like such a child," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry."

He knew that she couldn't keep herself from crying, but he wished that she could. "Don't worry about it," he answered. Once again he took her up the stairs to their room, and lay with her the rest of the night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What are we going to do?" Jack asked, sitting in a chair in Will and Elizabeth's room.

"I don't know," he answered, brushing some of Elizabeth's hair out of her beautiful face.

Jack grinned at the sight of them. It reminded him of Bill and Catherine.

"What?" Will asked, noticing the grin.

"Nothin'," Jack answered plainly, concealing a smile. "Nothin' at all."

Will gave him a quizzical look, before turning back to Elizabeth, who was beginning to flinch and groan in her sleep. Then she began to sob.

"Elizabeth," he whispered, softly shaking his sleeping wife.

Her eyes fluttered open, and she looked around the room, taking in her surroundings.

"It was just a dream. Go back to bed." He forced her to lay back down, and went back to stroking her hair.

"Will?" she asked the wall next to their bed. "You're not going to leave me like your father did your mother, are you?"

His breath caught in his chest, and for a moment he couldn't breathe. He had been expecting this question, and had thought of his answer, but when one is faced with the problem they had been pondering yesterday... when the moment for a decision comes, second thoughts always cross one's mind. "Elizabeth, how could you think that?" he breathed finally.

"I know you love the sea, you're always out there with Jack," she answered. "But what about our life? What about the child?" She touched her stomach absent-mindedly. "I won't have it grow up without a father. Do you hear me! I won't!" Her voice rose in her attempt to get her point across.

"Shhh..." he whispered, still playing with her hair. "Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you." He kissed the side of her face, and wrapped his arms around her. "Go back to sleep."

It was a moment or two until she had drifted off to sleep, once again, in his arms.

Awwwww... I really like this chapter because I'm a sucker for drama, romance, and sob stories!

Now I hope that I have captured the characters nicely. Keep in mind, that the point of the first two chapters was to set up the story, and show that something had happened, and Will and Jack are supposed to be different, Elizabeth even thinks that they had changed. Now with Elizabeth; she's pregnant. Ever heard of something called hormones sickness? Of course you have. You'll see a lot of that. See, when things happen, people change. That is why the characters may seem different. I hope that this clears things up .I like to write character changes, you need to assume that there's a bit of a mystery to what happened between the end of the movie, and my story. Sure you know the basics, but not the whole bit of it. Think about that, and then review. I hope I've cleared it up.

However, the mystery of what happened between the movie, and my story is pretty much revealed in the next chap.

Alright, well, please review.

The new part will be up soon.

Thanks Dory, hope my plugging in worked!
