Last Hope
Disclaimer: No still not mine.
Author's note: I know I said two more chapters but this will be the last chapter in this story and I plan to do a sequel so all my loyal readers please continue to do so.
Elizabeth never spoke a word of what happened that night, though they all talked about the battle and the way Bill had been saved but no one ever knew of Jack's breakdown and it seemed as if the pirate himself had forgot. It had been four months since the battle that saved the pirate way and Elizabeth was ready to give birth at any moment. Finally on a sunny day when Jack had allowed the crew some time for leisure along the shores of a deserted island her water broke.
"Will, go get Jack," she said as calmly as possible fearing that if she frightened the poor man she might have to deliver the baby herself. Since she had explained everything and Jack had done the same, though she knew not of the powers her child held, Will had grown accustomed to being her best friend and he and Jack had also grown closer. He had realized that while Elizabeth had loved him she had never been in love with him and if she had it was because when she was young she thought him to be a pirate and he was, but he was not the type of pirate she longed for that pirate was Jack. As Will ran to get Jack he began to smile though he had always dreamed it would be his child he was just as happy to be its godfather, he also felt that one day he would have a child but with who he did not know.
"Jack, Elizabeth wants you."
That was all that needed to be said Jack knew what it was. Just as they reached her Lizzie's contractions worsened this baby was coming fast.
"Will up to her head, try to keep her calm. And Will let her squeeze your hand if she breaks it we'll fix it."
"Jack it hurts make it stop."
"Love its gonna get worse before it gets better now on me word push…push, good now again…push, come on love…push, gotta head…one more big push… you did it Lizabeth. Will come here."
Elizabeth began to worry at that point she hadn't heard the baby make a sound.
"Tie this around the base of the cord." And with the skill of a schooled surgeon Jack took the cleanest knife he could find and cut the cord catching the blood in a small vase. Then came the moment of truth as the cleared out the baby's nose and mouth, a light tap on the bottom and the young Sparrow began to cry.
"Jack, bring the baby up here what is it."
When he got to her side he handed her a tiny bundle wrapped in the shirt off his back.
"It's a boy Lizzie, I got me a boy."
"Yes we do. Now he needs a name."
"Well like me skuzzy pirate father named me I shall name him Jack."
"And his middle name shall be William after the two men who risked their lives to make sure he was born."
Will walked out of the cabin allowing the new parents time to be alone with their son, when he saw a figure walk out of the woods near the beach with Tia Dalma by its side. As the figure stood there in the shadows Tia approached Will.
"Tis a destiny fit for you William Turner."
As the figure took one step out of the shadows silence fell. Breathless Will spoke in a voice lower than a whisper.
"Anamaria."
Now the Sequel music plays. Also if you want to know why Jack is her last hope you must read the sequel. It fits in better to that part of the story.
