Will POV

" Scarlett, we have to talk." I told her as I walked into her and Giselle's room on the ship. She was all alone.

"Yes Will?" She stood to walk over to me but I walked up to her first.

" Sit down." I told her and when she did I sat beside her.

" What's going on? What's wrong?"

" We have to talk about... us."

" What about?" She asked, a little suspicious.

" Scarlett there's a reason why after all this time I haven't asked you to marry me. You know I care for you very much and after all this time would like to-"

" Are you asking me to marry you? Will? Really are you?" She asked, suddenly happy.

" Stop, no I'm not. I'm sorry but please let me finish. And please don't jump to conclusions, it'll be less painful that way. I was going to say that after all this time I would like to tell you that I never intend to marry you. Because I'm not in love with you. I care for you and you're really an important part of life but not in the way you would like. Scarlett we've known each other so long and I know you've liked me since you met me- and I tried to make myself feel the same way. I have- all these years, and only so you would be happy, I didn't want to hurt you."

" Then why are you doing this? Why after all this time Will? Why now? Why!"

" The least I owe you is my honesty, you deserve it. I've met someone. Someone that made me realize what I really want to do. I want to be with someone I love, and I don't want to keep leading you on, to keep lying to you."

" No Will! Not now!"

" Why not now? Now is as good as ever!" I screamed back at her. "The sooner we end this, the better we will be. Both of us. Trust me- you deserve someone who loves you and that's not me." I told her frimly. She didn't answer. " I'm sorry. I know your're mad and you have every right to be but-"

" You're going to be a father Will."

" What?" I asked in confused.

" You heard me."

" Are you just making this up so I won't leave you? Scarlett that's low and you know it!" I yelled at her, angry.

" No. You listen to me William Turner! Leave me if you want, but I thought you should know that you're going to be a father! I was going to tell you as soon as you came back but you came in here firt, telling me you were going to leave me! What you did, that's low Will. I thought you would be happy that you were having a child- but I guess I was wrong."

" I am happy." I countered. It hadn't really sunk in though. I still felt numb.

" Really? Well get out of my room this instant and don't come back! Go celebrate somewhere else!"

I stood to get up and walk out the door.

" Good night mr. Turner." And she slammed the door behind me.
