A pirates stroy inspired by PS I love you. I own nothing to do with either of these films.
Willabeth story obviously
BOLD dreams
Italics memories and or thoughts
BOLD italics letters
The night sky, scattered with innumerable stars so many that the constellations were barely visible was reflected in the smooth water, giving the ship the effect of floating in the air. Not many people were on the deck of this ship, although one man stood proud watching out.
"I got me pearl back" he said before deciding to walk around the deck of the ship checking too see if everything was okay. He avoided where most people slept, he did not want to disturb a certain Elizabeth Turner.
Elizabeth had her own private room with her own hammock. She was curled up in a ball asleep in it her hands clasped protectively around her stomach, her breathing was soft and somewhat comforting a noise in the her room awoke her and she opened her warm brown eyes and pulled a honey coloured strand of hair out of her face.
"Jack?" she said, wondering if he had come in.
There was no answer.
"Will?" she chanced.
The figure came up to her, revealing his handsome features, a rough hand softly stroked her cheek and she closed her eyes blissfully as she put her hand on his.
"This has got to be a dream"
"If it is then it is the best dream I have ever had"
Elizabeth wanted to kiss him, but she couldn't it would make it more painful.
"Please don't leave me Will"
Will said nothing; all he did was wipe a tear away from her face.
"I have never left"
Elizabeth woke up and softly touched her cheek trying to bring back Will's gentle touch. Her back ached and her pregnant stomach stuck out before her and Jack could not stop staring at it. She had lost track of how much time she spent on the Pearl, how many dreams she had of Will, how many nightmares of his death. Roughly three months ago was the sixth month wedding anniversary of her Wedding; she spent most of it crying.
Heaving herself up the stairs she squinted into the brilliant sun and then quite suddenly she bent over in pain letting out a groan. Her face had grown pale due to the pain and she closed her eyes.
Elizabeth clutched her stomach and gasped out loud. She looked up and screamed in pain, feeling embarrassed.
"Will!" she called out hoping that by some miracle that he would suddenly appear.
Jack was suddenly by her side " Elizabeth what is it?"
Elizabeth felt like hitting him, was he that stupid? Could he not guess what was happening? Before she could think of a cutting remark, she felt her waters break, Jack himself went pale.
"Does that answer your question" she said feeling panicky.
Jack made a high pitched sound and ran off.
Wimp Elizabeth thought, sweating slightly due to the pain, which was coming and going.
Jack returned after ten minutes and Elizabeth was conscious of the pirates staring at her.
" Elizabeth we're making land- i mean port." He touched her shoulder suddenly to try and comfort her; tears were pouring down her face
"I want Will"
"Mr. Murtogg! Mr. Mullroy!"
"Aye captain!" they both came up and smiled at Elizabeth
"Look after Mrs Turner until we make port." Jack ordered
With their help Elizabeth was able to walk around slightly to ease the pain. Their comforting words helped her too.
"Have you thought of the child's name yet?"
Elizabeth shook her head. "No." more tears poured down her face "Not even once. I am such a terrible mother"
They shifted about uncomfortably before denying "You've had it hard" one of them said truthfully as they passed a small island.
Elizabeth looked up "Jack!" she called "I thought you said we were going to make port. We've just passed another island!"
"Just trust me, Lizzie. Mrs Turner, sorry" he quickly corrected himself.
Almost an hour later Elizabeth was being helped out of the ship at some island and she was attracting some strange looks and she snapped at some of them. Murtogg, Mullroy and Jack exchanged amused glances.
Eventually she was led into a small house where a friendly looking lady was sitting looking nervous; she smiled at jack then glanced at Elizabeth.
"I saw you coming, Mrs..."
"Turner" Elizabeth said
"Sit here sweetie. I'm called Anne" Elizabeth sat down on a bed pulled out from the wall, oblivious to all the preparations being made, the pain was too distracting, she did everything that Anne, the midwife asked. She did not even notice the absence of the men and the presence of two other girls, Elinor and Jane, one of whom was mopping her forehead.
Elizabeth just heard Anne's voice "You're going to have to push now"
Elizabeth did so, screaming every time she tried. The other girl, Elinor, was holding her, supporting her and she pushed against Elinor each time she pushed.
Elizabeth cried weakly "I don't want to do it anymore. Make it stop"
"Just one more little push Elizabeth. It's almost over"
Elizabeth pushed as hard as she could and then the pain left. And she relaxed against Elinor smiling relieved "Is it over" she said breathlessly as she heard a baby's cry
Anne seemed pre-occupied
"Is my baby alright"
"Yes of course. It's a boy. A beautiful boy" she said warmly "I'm just washing him and wrapping him up"
Elizabeth sighed happily and thanked them all. Her hair was soaked with the cool water that Jane mopped her head with.
Anne walked over with what looked like a bundle of towels.
"Some-one wants to say hello"
She passed it over to Elizabeth and she felt her heart soar as she looked down at her son. His eyes were closed but as she lifted her hand to trace his face, he opened them, revealing big blue eyes. Anne was right; he was beautiful. She smiled at her son, and he stopped cry and seemed to smile back
"Hiya, I'm your Mummy" the baby leaned his head against her and fell asleep.
"What are you going to call him?" Anne asked
"William Jack" she said amazed at how it just came to her "Liam for short"
She stared down at Liam smiling, for once; in the past 9 months did she feel happy, truly happy.
She hugged the bundle towards her "Thank you" she said softly again
It may have just been a suddenly flashback, or just a hallucination from the previous pain, but Elizabeth swore she could she Will in the room for a few seconds right next to her smiling at her proudly before leaving. What Will said in the dream was right; he would never leave her
