I think I have to become slaves to all of you to describe how long I haven't updated. I am SO sorry! I'm searching for a new school to go to when I move to New Jersey, and it is too hectic for me! Plus, I have had to deal with current school stress. I SWEAR I will try to update more often! And I promised Klaudia a part in this fic, and she will get it!

Disclaimer: You guys know.

When Elizabeth reached her eighth month, she had to return home to St. Lucia. She didn't want to endanger the welfare of the baby anymore, and she didn't want to endure the possibility of going into early labour on the seas. She had also found a midwife to help her with the final months of her pregnancy. Her name was Klaudia Williams, and Elizabeth found her to be more of a friend than a midwife. She lived with Elizabeth in the spare room just in case she went into labour when she was gone.

Since Tai Huang was the first mate, he was supposed to take control of the ship. However, Jack pressured her into making him temporary captain of the Empress. Elizabeth reluctantly gave in, only if Ana and Tai Huang were first and second mates. Jack scowled at her when she told him that, but he agreed. Hopefully she didn't make the wrong decision trusting Jack with her ship.

"Good morning," Klaudia greeted. After a month of being Elizabeth's midwife, she was always the one to buy groceries once a week. She had just come back from buying fresh groceries. Elizabeth's cravings had gotten stronger and whenever she was hungry, her hormones took over and she always screamed, "GRAPES! I NEED GRAPES!"

"Hi Klau---- oh!" she cried, clutching her pregnant stomach. Klaudia dropped the groceries on the table and rushed over.

"What happened? What is it?" she asked, panicking. Elizabeth moaned with pain. "I feel all wet and sticky," she moaned. Her eyes widened when she realised what was going on. "My water broke! Oh my GOD!"

Klaudia tried to help Elizabeth onto a bed, "Just rest, the pain you're feeling is the contractions." Klaudia flipped her brown hair into a ponytail to keep it out of her face. "The contractions normally don't last long, maybe two or three hours (Elizabeth groaned)."

And indeed, her contractions only lasted for two hours. Then the worst contraction hit. "Ahhhh!" Elizabeth screamed with pain. Klaudia said, "It's time for the baby to come. Push, Elizabeth!"

Elizabeth tried with all her might to push as hard as she could. "You're doing great, I can see the head! Just one more big one!" Elizabeth tried to push even harder than she did before. Her face was turning slightly purple. A few moments later, a faint crying sound could be heard. Klaudia said softly, "Congratulations Elizabeth, it's a boy."

Elizabeth leaned her head against the pillow while Klaudia wiped the baby clean. "What're you going to name him?" she asked, and Elizabeth was handed her baby.

"I already have the perfect name planned. William James Turner the Third," Elizabeth stated. She smiled. Dear, dear William. He looked so peaceful resting in Elizabeth's arms.

"You have a beautiful baby, Elizabeth," Klaudia said before she left the room.

Captain Will Turner stood at the helm of the Dutchman. Suddenly, a figure in shimmering lights appeared to him. It was Calypso in the form of Tia Dalma.

"William Turner," she said in her accent. Will turned his head and then jumped back in surprise.

"Calypso," he gulped. "What are you doing here?"

"I come wit' news of yah wife," Calypso said. Will's heart skipped a beat.

"What news?" Will asked. Calypso grinned mischievously to throw Will off.

"How about I just show yah instead?" Calypso suggested. She waved her arms and then a mystical circle appeared in the air. In it was Elizabeth and something in her arms. Will looked closer. It was a tiny baby.

Will's heart jumped. Elizabeth had the baby.

"'is name is William James Turner the Tird," Calypso said. And with that, she snapped her fingers and the vision and herself left his presence.

"No, wait!" Will cried out, but it was useless. He decided to tell his father instead. Bootstrap Bill let out a happy yell.

"That's great son! And the name, what a fine name," Bootstrap said. Will laughed knowing that the name was his as well as his father's.

"Just try and be patient, son," Bootstrap said. He seemed to read Will's mind. "It'll all be over soon."

Will nodded, but in his mind, he was shaking his head. Nine years was still a long time. But, he knew he could wait. After all, he had heard those words Elizabeth had spoken: "I'll always wait for you."

That's it for the thread! I know, I wanted it to be like fifty chapters long, but the way this chapter ended, it sounded like the ending of the story. But I will post the rest of it, in another story page.
