Elizabeth stood at her window and looked down at Port Royal. It was a bright, uneventful morning. As she stood there, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her, resting lightly on her stomach. Will bent down and kissed her cheek gently. She smiled and turned around to see her husband. His hands touched her stomach just in time to feel a kick from their son. A broad smile crossed his face as he felt proud to know that his son acknowledged his presence.

"Apparantly, William wanted to say good morning to his father." Elizabeth giggled.

Will bent over and kissed his wife's stomach and then kissed Elizabeth's lips. "And I want to say good morning to his mother."

Will and Elizabeth had moved to Port Royal just over a month ago. They decided that it was best if their child was born where help was nearby. When they arrived, it was exactly as they remembered it ten years ago. In fact, it seemed like nothing had changed at all. When they arrived at the Governor's mansion, none of Elizabeth's father's things had been settled, even though Elizabeth distinctly remembered doing so when she was last pregnant with William. An odd thing as it was, they figured out that not only had they gone back in time, but everyone else around them had as well. Elizabeth figured that it was better that way, so no questions lingered.

They settled into the mansion after settling Governor Swann's affairs. Elizabeth was now entering her seventh month of pregnancy. She had almost forgotten how it felt to be pregnant. While a part of her mourned for the son she raised for nine years, another part rejoiced that Will would get to experience it with her now. Every chance he got, he would envelope her in an embrace and feel their child kick. Elizabeth basked in the attention. It made her feel divine. Now she knew what she missed ten years ago, during her technical "first" pregnancy.


The better part of the morning was spent in privacy with Will. They talked about their future as a family and as husband and wife. Elizabeth still couldn't believe that Will was home for good. She expected to wake up from some dream and still be waiting for him to be free from his curse. Fortunately, when she woke every morning, he was lying right beside her. It really was a blessing. After their morning talk, the pair of them decided to go into town to retrieve some things that they would need for the baby. They walked down the street, holding hands and looking at things that caught their attention. Will ran into his former master, Mr. Brown in front of the blacksmith shop. When Will inquired as to how he was doing, Mr. Brown took Will aside from Elizabeth for a moment.

"Will, my health is failing. It has been for some time now. I was thinking that, since you are married now and have a little one of your own on the way, you might take over the shop. I always thought of you as a son. You made me proud with every sword you ever made." Mr. Brown rested his hand on Will's shoulder.

"I would be honored. You taught me everything I know about making swords. When would you like me to come?"

"I'll have to legally turn it over to you when I meet with a lawyer, but you can come down any time you like to start. You were the finest I ever taught."

The two men shook hands and returned to the patiently waiting Elizabeth. Her hand was resting on her stomach and she bore a funny smile on her face. Immediately Will knew that William was moving again. Mr. Brown greeted Elizabeth politely before returning inside the shop. Will and Elizabeth continued walking down the street, going to visit a particular store that would make a rocking chair for Elizabeth when she had William. Before sunset, they were home again and in the privacy of their own room. Elizabeth changed into her nightgown. It showed her protruding figure in the bright light of the moon and the soft candlelight. Her dark blonde curls cascaded around her shoulders. Will thought she looked so beautiful. He walked over and pulled her gently into his arms.

"Will?"

"Yes."

""Mr. Brown took you aside privately earlier. What was that about?" She was curious to know.

"He told me that his health was failing and that he would like for me to take over ownership of the blacksmith shop."

"Really? Did you agree to do so?"

"Yes I did. Besides, it will bring in extra income in case we ever need it."

"What about my duties as a Pirate Lord and Pirate King?"

"We'll go whenever you need to after the baby is born. I'll take on an apprentice and when we leave, he will be in charge until I return."

"What if he were to betray you?"

"He wouldn't dare because he'll know the consequences of his actions will be severe. After all, I am a pirate as well, but a respectable gentleman as far as anyone else is concerned."

"Will, how do you think of everything before I've thought of anything?" She sighed and kissed his lips.

"You, my darling, have other gifts. You got an entire fleet of pirates to stop fighting each other and rally against a much bigger enemy, Pirate King."

Elizabeth nodded and smiled devilishly at him. The couple climbed into their bed and Will pulled his wife into his arms. With her securely beside him, he rubbed her stomach to calm their child enough to allow Elizabeth to try and sleep. As they lay in the comfort of their bed, Will began to think about the upcoming birth of their son. Though Elizabeth had already been through it once, he knew it would be invariably difficult for her to do it again. The more he thought about it, the more it plagued his mind. Ultimately, he decided to ask her about it.

"Elizabeth?"

"Yes, Will." Thankfully, she was still awake.

"I know that our son will be born soon, but I don't really know a thing about the birth of a child or how to raise a baby. I wasn't there for most of your last labor, so I don't know what to expect or how to act."

"Would you like me to explain it to you?" Elizabeth sat up in their bed.

"If you don't mind. I just wanted to know how to best help you when the time comes." Will sat up next to her.

"Being that my last delivery was ten years ago, I won't remember all the details, but I will tell you what I remember. I woke in the middle of the night with a dull pain in my abdomen that would go away after a moment and then come back after a few minutes. That continued for a while until it intensified. Ana woke, lit a lantern, and told me my water had been broken. We ordered the ship to make port immediately and find a midwife. She never came. The pain went on for hours until Ana told me that the baby was ready to come out. She told me to push as hard as I could. I tried as much as I could bare until I couldn't anymore. That is when Calypso brought you to me. You saw everything that happened after that."

"I remember when Ana placed William on your chest. He looked so much like you. I promise to stay by your side the whole time until our son enters this world."

"I would like that very much." Elizabeth smiled.

Will was content to know that he could be there for his wife during her time of labor before their son would come into the world. They both laid back down and pulled the covers around them. Elizabeth was quickly asleep, but Will lay awake. Silently, he vowed to himself that his son would have the life he always wanted him to have and that Elizabeth would have the husband she deserved all those years while he was away. Yes, things were going to be different for the Turner family. He would take care of them, just as he promised his father he would. Will never broke a promise.
