Author's note: Sorry about the time between chapters, but my computer shutdown. Good news is though I have three chapters on paper, so they all will be here by Sunday.

Jack was still adjusting to his affair with Lizzie she, on the other hand was trying to figure out how she would tell Will. After all it had been six weeks since they had started their relationship and she had felt sick for three. Never complaining of her affliction to anyone she decided that night she would ask Jack if he had been sick as well, maybe it was the flu or something in the food.

Later in bed that night curled up next to his stomach, she finally asked him.

"Jack, my stomach has been upset for awhile, do you think it could be the food."

" I see, and how long has this been going on?"

"About three weeks."

"Oh, and have you had your um, lady time this month?"

"No, but I am only about a week late."

Quickly shooting out of bed Jack through on his trousers and ran out the door. He had to be outside, he had to think. Although he cared a great deal for Elizabeth he had figured when they met up with Will in about two months she would leave him and go back with the eunuch, but Will would not take her back now he could have forgiven her for sleeping with Jack but no man could forgive her for this. Jack was left with one solution he had to let her stay. But there would be hell to pay with Will.

"Jack what are you doing?"

She said this so calmly while placing her hands on his bare chest.

"Love we need to talk, you have some decisions to make."

"Why?"

"Well it hasn't been confirmed by a doctor but I am pretty sure the Captain here has knocked you up."

"What does that mean?"

"Lizabeth that tummy ache is a little Jack, Love your pregnant. I don't know how but I can try to make a life for you two aboard the Pearl, or you can go back to Will."

"Will won't take me, and I don't want him."

"Alright then it's settled."

Later that night as she placed her head on his chest Elizabeth whispered softly to Jacks sleeping form.

"You're my only hope, you're our last hope."

And a tear rolled down the captains cheek.
