Hey everyone, I'm so sorry it takes me so long to update. Life is very hectic right now and I just beg you to please be patient with me. You guys have been so wonderful so far with your faithful reviews and I thank you very very much. i love you guys!

Will walked over to the bay window and gazed out over the streets. He took in a deep breath of air, then turned back towards the bed and looked at Liz. She still looked preoccupied and far off.

"Wow, a baby..." he said mostly to himself as he walked towards her, then a pause.

"A baby Liz!" he jumped up with a huge smile on his face.

She laughed at his unrestrained excitment.

"Whoa" he rushed over to her and leaned closer. "Is the baby alright? Are you both alright?"

"Yes we're both fine." she gave him a reassuring smile and touched his stubbled chin. The tenseness in his body relaxed and he sat back down again with a slightly astonished look. Then without warning again he jumped up.

"Oh! I have to tell Nathan!"

Liz threw the comforter off from her to the side. "I'm comming with you." She stood and as soon as she got to her feet she became dizzy and faultered- almost falling. But Will got to her before her knees could give.

"Maybe I should take this a little slower."

Will laughed. "Just a bit."

He still held her as she regained her composure. Will couldnt stop looking at her, she glanced at him from the corner of her eye. "Will, you can let go now." She smiled.

"No I cant." he said slowly. Then he leaned in and brushed the hair from her eyes and slightly tightened his grip around her waist. As they kissed, Elizabeth's dizziness returned, but this time it was from the closness of Will and the passion he insued in his kiss.

She moved her hands over to his chest and rubbed them up until she reached his neck to pull him closer into her. Then a knock was at the door

"Elizabeth, are you alright?"

Will let out a groan then parted with her but kept his arm around her. "Yes come in." she said

Lucy entered the room and saw Liz on her feet and a smile grew on her face. "Oh well its good to see you up. How are you feeling?"

"Better, thank you." then she looked at Will with a knowing smile. "Much better"

"Um.." She ran her hands against eachother with hesitance. " Is everyone alright?"

Liz placed her opposite hand on Will's chest and layed her head on his shoulder. "Yes, the babys fine...and he knows."

"Wait, she knew before me?" he asked surprised

Elizabeth laughed "Only about two hours before" shes said a matter-a-factly.

"Oh..." he said looking down

"Just girl talk" shea said as she straightened up and kissed him on the cheek. Then leaned back into him. He smile and felt her arm.

"Elizabeth you're freezing! Let's go downstairs and get you near the fire."

Lucy turned and started down the stairs. Elizabeth started to walk but Will pulled her arm again.

"We'll be there in a minute!" He called. Then quickly took Liz in his arms and dipped her down then planted a strong sweet kiss on her. Taking her by surprise, then snapped her back up to her feet.

After she caught her breath she hit him playfully in the arm. "William Turner!" She escaped from his grasp and inched her way towards the door.

"What?" He smiled.

"Nothing..." She relied, holding her arms behind her back. " Just save it for later." She teased from the the other side of the door.

Nate and Lucy stayed long enough to give their congradulations and smiles then get back to their own home - for it was almost three in the morning.

Will and Elizabeth were exhausted. A lot had happened that day. Will had so many questions for her, but knew how tired they both were and decided he would wair untill tomarrow. Nathan had told him just to take the day off. Work would pile up but it was nothing Will couldn't knock out with a couple of hours overtime.

When he awoke the next day Elizabeth was still soundly sleeping. Her breathes in and out were music to his ears. He noticed it was almost noone, and most of the day was gone. So he decided to catch up on some of the housework they had been neglecting and let Liz rest.

He picked up their clothes then carried then downstairs and outside to the backyard. The sun shone bright - not a cloud in the sky. Will scrubbed and rinsed, scrubbed and rinsed his sea watered shirt. Next his trousers, but as he was scrubbing then he felt something in one of the pockets. Inside he found a note, he carefully unfolded it, afraid the damp paper may tear.

"Dear Will and Elizabeth

You both have been so nice to us. We can never thank you enough. We are pleased to know that our mother's kindness is still in others' hearts. We wish you all the happiness in the world and we hope to see you both again oneday. If you ever come north don't hesitate to find us in Virginia, just follow the coastline and you'll see us. We dont stray far from the sea.

Your friends, Andrew and Paul Barbossa"

Towards the end of the letter the ink had bled and ran together but was still legiable. Will smiled, one of them must have slipped it in his pocket while he wasnt looking.

"For such a horrible father" he thought "these boys may just turn out alright."

Will finished the laundry and hung it up outside. When he came back in Elizabeth had just waken up and was comming downsstairs.

"Good morning love." He said as he wrapped his arms around her.

She gave him a hazy grin and kissed him. "good morning to you too. Wow we slept late"

"Yes." He said, as he turned away, continuing sweeping. "But with good reason. Yesterday was quite exciting"

"Very true." She said distantly. She watched him work, trying to sweep the old, cold kitchen floor. "Here, let me. I know you have better things to do than sweeping."

"Oh" He handed the broom over. "Well I suppose. I was just going to give you the day off."

She laughed. "Will I'm not that tired. Now...go on, I've got it."

"Hmm, alright. I need to get the kindlin anyway. I was freezing last night. But that may be beacause the flues are clogged too..." He said saying it more to himself than to her.

So he chopped the wood, cleaned the chimneys and took a bath to rinse off the soot. Then when he came back in the kitchen Liz was chopping carrots and pealing potatoes in the sink. The living room and kitchen were spotless. He came up beside her and kissed her cheek.

"Wow, very impressive." He smiled.

She smiled back and kissed him on the cheek. "If you go get the fire started, I'll finish getting dinner ready."

"Alright." He pecked her on the cheek one more time and started out the door. But he stopped in the doorway and watched her unnoticed. Her smile was gone and her face was clouded and almost sad looking. Will took one last look with a worried feeling then finally left to start the fire.

During dinner they talked, chatted, and joked, enjoying eachothers company. But when she thought Will was no longer looking she would become distant and seem preoccupied. Will noticed but tried to put if off as just being tired or not feeling well - nothing to mention.

Later that night Will felt a chill, he pulled the sheets around his bare body tighter. Then another chill ran over him. "I thought i just cleaned those flues..." he thought. Then he ran his hands over Elizabeth's pillow...it was bare. He raised his head slightly and noticed she wasnt there.

Another chill

He turned around to see that the door to the balcony was cracked and the curtains blew and billowed in the wind. Will reached down and found his trousers, slipped them on and buttoned then quickly. He slowly walked to the door and leaned outside and glanced around. He saw Elizabeth wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the ground, with her back against the wall. She was looking out over the town with the same clouded coutanence.

"Elizabeth?" He breathed her name as he knelt down beside her and tightened the cover around her shoulders. "What are you doing out here? You'll get sick."

"I'm sorry." She said quietly "I needed to think."

He paused then took her hand and pulled it slightly. "Well...lets think inside."

"No" She stated meekly

He just looked at her cofused. This whole time she hadnt looked at him - just kept her eyes either down or straight ahead. But fianlly she turned to meet his gaze.

"Are you happy?" she asked

He sat down beside her and kept close to her, trying to keep warm. "Yes Elizabeth, very happy. Why would you ask that?"

"Is your life everything you imagined it would be?"

He paused. "No"

She turned to him again, sadness still detectable, and anticipation.

"Its better than I imagined."

She turned her head away.

He leaned into her a little bit. "Was that a smile?" He thought to himself.

After a moment she spoke again, still quietly and he strained to hear.

"Come on Will, I know you never planned on this. This was never what you wanted - to be a father and have a family so early. I ...I just want you to be happy. I dont know, maybe...maybe we just jumped into his without thinking..." Her voice trailed off.

Will sat there amazed. Was it him that she regretted? Confusion was all he was feeling. He moved around to where he was facing her - eye to eye. And he made sure she was looking at him.

"Do you love me?" He asked determined.

"Yes, with all my heart."

"Are you happy?"

"I'm happy if you're ha -" But he stopped her.

"No..." He asid tenderly. "Are - you - happy?"

"Yes" she said quietly. He noticed her hand moved toward her stomach as she lightly touched it, as if she was timid to reconize the life inside her.

"Elizabeth, I dont know why you're having these doubts. I love you and you love me. We're meant for eachother. I'm ready for this baby - I want a family with you."

She had a look of tender love - but still spoke mildly. "But on the ship when you and Jack spoke you said..."

She didnt know how to finish. But she didnt have to, Will knew what she was talking about, and it killed him.

"Oh Liz." He hung his head down. "Thats what has been causing you to question?"

She looked away again and nodded. "When you said that you werent ready I was scared. It was hard enough to tell you I was pregnant and then when I knew how you felt it was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do."

Will hung his head and hid his fave with his hands. He felt waves of guilt knowing how his ignorant words had hurt her - it was his fault.

"Oh Elizabeth I'm so sorry. I dont know what to say but - I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you - that was one thing I promised myslefI would never do."

She looked at him tenderly, but still with sadness in her eyes. "Will its alri-"

"No its not alright. I've hurt you. But I need you to know something. I never want you to doubt us. I love you and my heart will never belong to another.And when me and Jack spoke, that may have been my feelings at the time, but when you told me that you're bearing our child myfeelings changed. Even months or days ago I could not have imagined my life as a father, I saw my life on the seas, but now I cant see anything less than what's in front of me. And it would be less Liz. Anything other than you and my family would pale in comparison. You are my world...you and this baby are my world."

Will had spoken and his voice was shaking with emotion. Elizabeth already in tears, held his hands and could feel them slightly shaking. She looked in his tearfilled eyes and drowned in his sincere love. Elizabeth leaped in his arms and hugged him as hard as she could.

Will finally smiled and kissed her neck and breathed in her scent. he ran his hands over her hair, just reveling his body near hers.

"I love you Elizabeth."

She squeezed her eyes and felt nothing but joy to hear those words. "Oh God I love you too Will."

He parted them slowly to see her face. Her cheeks were glistening, as were his. Will brushed her tears away with his thumb. She kissed his lips and did the same to his tanned face.

"Come" He said as he stood slowly. She placed on hand in his and the other she held the blanket around her. They stepped back into the bedrooom they shared, Will turned and closed the door behind them. He drew back the curtains, the silver moonlight shone through the room unhindered. As Will approached Elizabeth she kept her head down, almost shyly. She dropped the blanket to the ground with a quiet flutter. Will gazed upon her beautiful body.With the blue light from the windowns behind them as their only guidence,she slipped her hands behind his neck and breathed in heavy and slow.

Will lightly touched her body, his hands glided from her shoulders to her back, and down to her waist. He kissed her shoulder and ran his tongue thoughtfully to her neck, up to her jaw, and over to her ear. Finally he made it to her lips and kissed her over and over.

They made their was to the bed as Will layed her down. Again his lips found her soft skin, her neck, and he moved down to her breast. He glided his body down across hers. Kisses were placed all around her chest and then he made his way down, placing kisses between her breasts and then down on her stomach. Fianlly laying one kiss on her belly button. Will wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her stomach. He put his hands around her waist and held her tentivly as if he was afraid to let go.

Elizabeth regained reality and looked down at him. He as whispering softy, then planting soft, wet kisses on her middle - no doubt talkin to his child. She ran her hands through his hair, he glanced up at her with a grin and moved slyly back up her body. They shared another passsionate kiss of breath, love and tender moments.

After making love he held her close to his chest. He laid his head in the nape of her neck. She had her eyes closed with a faint smile across her face. Her hands where entertwined with his, resting on her stomach. Will moved his head slightly and put his mouth to her hear as he whispered "Not every man can hold his whole world in his arms."
