Author's Note: Hello everyone! Sorry it's been awhile since my last update. Blame writer's block – I always have the worst gist of it with this story; I can never decide what I want to write about or which characters I want to use. It's really annoying.

Anyway, here's the update! I hope you guys enjoy.

Chapter: Another Visit and a Phone Call

---

Two weeks had passed since Elizabeth had first found out that she was with child. She was now eight weeks along – and she felt miserable.

"More nausea?" Will asked his wife as she dragged her exhausted form out of their bathroom.

Elizabeth nodded as she dropped ungracefully onto the couch, next to her worried husband. Will wrapped an arm around her firmly as she leaned against his side, resting her head against his warm chest.

"Dr. Saldana said this would probably happen until the thirteenth week of my pregnancy," Elizabeth told Will weakly as she tiredly closed her eyes. "She told me that it was something that I wasn't going to like, obviously. I mean, I knew I wasn't going to like it, but I didn't think I'd feel this horrible."

Will looked down at his wife dolefully. "I'm so sorry, Elizabeth." He gently began to stroke her hair. "I wish I could take all of this away from you – if I had the choice, I would definitely put it upon myself instead."

Elizabeth gave Will a small smile. "I know you would." She took her husband's hand and softly brought it to her lips. Will smiled in return, lightly kissing her forehead.

"Would you like me to take you upstairs to bed?" Will offered his wife quietly. "You could probably do with a nice, long nap – perhaps it'll make you feel better later."

"Would you mind if I just stayed here like this with you?" Elizabeth meekly asked. "I feel pretty content right here."

Will smiled. "Of course. I think I could do with a nap right about now myself." Will quickly grabbed the quilt hanging off the edge of the couch and slowly spread it out over the both of them, making sure that Elizabeth was comfortable.

After Elizabeth confirmed that she was as comfortable as she would get, both she and Will quickly found themselves falling into unconciousness.

Another week passing found Will and Elizabeth in the waiting room of her gynecologist's office. She was due in for her first – real – check-up. And, boy was she excited.

Will chuckled quietly to himself as he glanced over at his wife. He found her giddiness quite funny; he was also quite happy to see her smiling so genuinely about something – he was glad that she wasn't feeling so terrible at the moment.

"Turner," the receptionist called out.

Will and Elizabeth immediately stood up at the sound of their name being called. Elizabeth looked over at Will excitedly, and grasped his hand, as she hurriedly led him over to the receptionist's desk.

"Elizabeth Turner," the receptionist greeted the young woman warmly, "how lovely to see you again! Is this your husband?"

Elizabeth nodded enthusiastically as Will held out his hand in greeting to the older woman. "Will Turner. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"And to you, Mr. Turner," the receptionist said as she politely shook his hand, smiling at the young couple. She then turned her attention back to Elizabeth. "Your room is room number 25 – just walk straight down the hall and take a left at the first intersection of hallways."

"Thank you," Will and Elizabeth said in unison as they waved a good-bye to the older woman, happily making their way down the hall.

As soon as Will and Elizabeth were seated comfortably in their designated room, Will leaned over and grasped Elizabeth's hand firmly. "Are you feeling okay?"

Elizabeth smiled at him. "Yes, I feel fine."

"You're not nervous at all…?" Will prodded.

"Not really," Elizabeth admitted. "I got the Pelvic Exam over with when I came here two weeks ago. And Dr. Saldana forgot to mention that she me gave a Pap Test as well, which I'm happy about – meaning I won't have to slide off my knickers for this appointment," she added at Will's confused expression.

"Oh, so does that mean that we'll just be talking to her during this appointment, then?" Will asked.

"Well, she said that she'll most-likely perform a Breast Exam during this appointment as well. Which is perfectly fine with me; getting one of those is not nearly as nerve-racking as getting a Pelvic Exam. Besides," she continued, "I need one anyway. I've never had one before, and my breasts are supposedly supposed to undergo some changes around this time during my pregnancy."

Will nodded, still somewhat puzzled. "But, other than that, we'll just be talking with her, right?"

Elizabeth laughed. "Yes, Will," she told him bemusedly, "other than that, we'll just be talking with her."

"Okay, good." Will folded his arms over his well-defined chest. "I don't like anyone else touching you but me." Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

It was then that the couple heard a knock at the door – with one turn of the knob, Dr. Saldana breezed into the room. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Turner!" Elizabeth stood up to greet her doctor.

"Good afternoon, Dr Saldana. I would like you to meet my husband, Will Turner." Will stood up and shook the doctor's hand.

"Hello, Mr. Turner. Well, it's lovely to finally meet you! Shall we begin?" She gestured to the two chairs Elizabeth and Will and just moments ago been occupying.

Will and Elizabeth sat down as the doctor grabbed the only other chair in the room and sat down across from the couple. "Well, to get started, I'm going to ask you a few personal questions, Elizabeth, and then I'm going to ask the both of you a few questions about you and families' medical histories.

"Elizabeth," she continued, "when was the last time you had your period?"

"Um," Elizabeth contemplated the question for a moment before answering, "about five or so weeks ago; right before Dr. Roberts told me I was pregnant."

Dr. Saldana nodded, scribbling on her notepad as she continued. "Have all your symptoms seemed normal to you – nothing out of the ordinary?"

Elizabeth shook her head. "I don't think so. I've been very tired the past few weeks, and I've had to make several trips to the loo lately – both for nausea and simply because I had to go. Those are all normal, aren't they?"

"Yes." Dr. Saldana nodded. "And for my last question: this is your first pregnancy, right?"

Elizabeth and Will exchanged a smile as Elizabeth answered, "yes, this is our first."

Dr. Saldana smiled. "Alright, thank you. Now, Elizabeth, I'm going to need to give you a quick Breast Exam, and then we'll be able move on to the family history questions. Will you please take off your shirt and bra and sit it that chair that I know you love oh so much?"

Elizabeth nodded wordlessly as she quietly began to strip off her shirt. Once the upper half of her body was devoid of clothing, she gently sat herself down in the examination chair. Elizabeth quickly grabbed Will's hand as Dr. Saldana began the exam.

"Everything seems to be developing nicely," Dr. Saldana informed the couple as she finished the exam, instructing Elizabeth to re-clothe herself.

Once Elizabeth had re-dressed, and the threesome was seated back in their respective chairs, Dr. Saldana resumed her questioning.

"Elizabeth, do you have any chronic illnesses that run in your family?"

"Not that I'm aware of, no."

"Do you have a history of any type of cancer that runs in your family?"

Elizabeth hesitated before answering. "My mother died of breast cancer when I was very young." Will gently began to rub Elizabeth's back, knowing it always reassured her a bit.

"Oh, yes – I remember you saying something about your mother dying at your last check-up," the doctor recounted. "I'm deeply sorry that that happened."

Elizabeth nodded, attempting to keep her tears at bay.

"Since your mother had breast cancer, you'll have to be monitored for that throughout your pregnancy," Dr. Saldana informed her.

"That's perfectly fine," Elizabeth told her.

The doctor nodded, turning to Will. "And you, Mr. Turner – any illnesses or cancers that you're aware of?"

"No, not that I'm aware of," Will informed the doctor.

"It says here that your mother died as well," she said, looking down at her clipboard.

"From the Winter Fever." Will tried as hard as he could to keep his emotions in check.

"I'm terribly sorry about your mother as well," Dr. Saldana told the young man sincerely.

"It's okay," Will mumbled. Elizabeth then quickly leaned over and gave Will a kiss on the cheek. He smiled at his wife as he continued to rub her back.

"Well," Dr. Saldana began again, "that's about all the questioning that we'll have to do for awhile. You two may go home now if you like, if you have no other questions."

"I actually have one," Elizabeth piped up. "When do I have my first ultrasound?"

Dr. Saldana smiled. "You can have one anytime; although, if you would like to see your baby when he or she actually looks like a baby, it'll be best if you wait until your second trimester – usually around week fourteen or fifteen."

"Alright!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "I already can't wait!"

Will chuckled at Elizabeth's enthusiasm. "Me, too."

"I'm sure you two will make wonderful parents," Dr. Saldana commented.

Will and Elizabeth smiled. "What about you though?" Elizabeth asked interestedly. "I know we're not really supposed to get too personal with one another, but do you have any kids?"

Dr. Saldana sighed. "No, I would like to have some though. I just haven't found the right man yet."

"Uh, you know," Will joined in, "we have this friend – Jack – who's single and looking to settle down – if he finds the right woman, that is," he added at Elizabeth's unbelieving expression. "Would you be interested in meeting him?"

"I don't know," the doctor replied honestly. "Is he nice?"

Elizabeth nodded. "Very. And he's rather funny – in his own odd, quirky way. I'm sure you'll really like him."

"So, will you agree to meet him?" Will asked hopefully.

Dr. Saldana smiled. "I suppose. I know I shouldn't be letting my patients set me up on blind dates, but there's something I trust about the two of you, so why not?"

"Great!" Will exclaimed. "We'll talk it over with him and get back to you."

With that, the couple said their good-byes and left. As they headed out to the parking lot, Will fingered his mobile and silently dialed Jack's number.

"'Ello?" Came a sleepy voice from the other end of the line.

"Jack! It's me, Will. Are you awake yet?" He silently put the phone on speaker, so Elizabeth could hear the conversation as well.

"What do ye think – it's three o' bloody clock in th' afternoon, ye git. Hell, of course I'm no' awake yet!" Jack haughtily replied.

Will shared a quiet chuckle with Elizabeth as he helped her into the car. "I'm sorry Jack – how stupid of me to not remember."

"Damn straight. But, I'll let it go this one time, William, due to th' fact that ye 'ave an exceptionally crazy wife at th' moment," Jack told him, unaware that Elizabeth was listening in.

Elizabeth gasped. "Jack! How very rude of you to say!"

"'Lizabeth!" Jack exclaimed. "I had no idea ye were listenin' in, luv."

Elizabeth huffed. "Obviously."

"I jus' meant tha'-" Jack tried to explain. "Never mind…. Anyway, why'd ye lovers call me this early?"

Elizabeth rolled her eyes as Will answered Jack's question. "We wanted to know if you'd like to meet us for lunch? We have something to ask you…."
