*Will smiled at her as she commented on how she was glad in a way that she wasn't there considering she wouldn't want to distract him from a fight. He played with her hair a bit and eyed her.* Well you are distracting....and you have a tendency to make me want to do things I wouldn't normally do. Say befriend a pirate, commandere a ship, and fight undead pirates for you. *He laughed. That had been on hell of an interesting trip, but hey at least he got the girl!
He put his chin atop her head, still watching the fire as she leaned her head against his chest. He sighed fondly, more then enjoying this moment with her. After a while she lifted her eyes back up to his and he gave her a look of encouragement, to let her know to continue on with what was on her mind. When she stated something was bothering her his brow furrowed, confused at first as she started talking again.
As she placed his hand upon her stomach he glanced down at it, blinking at it a few times as if it were suddenly a foreign object that needed inspecting. His heart began to race and his breathing quickened as he looked up at her.* You mean Im....were gonna be....theres a...in your stomach and....father....im gonna be.....so you're saying.... *He babbled, his mind suddenly completley confused. He blinked a few more times.* I'm going to be a father? *He managed to spit out and then he swayed a little, gave a strange kind of nervous laugh and grin, and fell backwards, out like a light.*

::Jack smiled at Tobbs, listening and then teasingly added:: "Must have been a charming, handsome, brillant spider then...." He said with a laugh.::
"Well they are funny things...but...if yer scared of them then we'll make sure to avoid them, savvy?" He laughed and hugged her::
::Then he saw Will keel over, and Elizabeth was rightt here looking rather nervous. Jack laughed, kissed Tobbs's forhead and help her to her feet:: "We can continue this discussion....but it seems the eunuch has finally figured out he is in fact....not a eunuch....."
::Jack traipsed over to Will, who was lying completly blacked out near the fire. He glanced at Elizabeth then to Will:: "Ye know, Elizabeth.....telling a man who is under the impression that he is in fact a eunuch, that he is not a eunuch tends to put the poor bugger into shock....."
::With that he bent down and gave Will a good shake. He grinned, amused by it all:: "Oy....Will....good news.....yer not a eunuch......come on there mate....s'not that bad......I mean granted the poor child is likely to do many a stupid things....but with some luck it might not die before it reaches adulthood....."
::Will was blinking his eyes. Jack grinned at him:: "Ye know...and it is possible we can raise the little thing as a pirate......you know....Port Royale can only handle so many Turner's at a time mate...."
::He smiled over at Tobbs then looked back at Will:: "then again....if I am to have children the Caribbean is unlikely to ever return to a calm level....." Jack was still grinning when he stood up, figuring it best to let Will figure out how to stand up on his own and looked at Elizabeth::
"Well Miss Elizabeth.....do we know when the little bundle of doom...sorry...joy.....are going to arrive?"

Tasha growled as Avery revealed as to why he wasn't going back to the camp. We 'ave te go back te the camp. Ye're hurt...we're goin' ba ck te camp. Tasha started slightly rambling and she stopped when Avery stumbled a bit. She softened her tone a bit, seeing he was really bad off. Avery...we need te git back te the camp. Ye're goin' te die if we don't. Tasha lightly rested her hand on his arm, blood stained her hand. He then started walking away again, almost falling into a pit.
Avery! Tasha took a step towards him, but he told he to quickly make some rope from vines, someone was inside the pit. Tasha made the rope but slightly whispered to Avery. What if i's one of Jack's crew?
Avery pulled the woman out of the pit. Tasha slightly leaned in towards Avery and whispered in his ear. She reminds me of Luis...now can we 'et back te the crew? Tasha did not like this woman and was desperate to get Avery back to the crew.

"Back to the c'ew? Aye, we can go back now," Avery answered her quietly. His voice was dead, flat, only a small sigh of defeat let on his feelings. Normally having her so close to him would have caused him to do something, possibly could have caused him to kiss her again, but he was too focused on the up coming moments.
He looked up from his examination of his wound and eyed the new woman, "Yeh name? And why we'e ye down the'e?" He motioned for her to follow, "Ye'll be coming back with us, the Captain will decide what to do with you." He started walking, one hand close to his knife. No matter how upset he was he would still take the blue-eyed woman's feelings on the snake woman seriously.
"What.. we'e... ye.." Avery tried to ask, the bloodloss finally getting to him and he collapsed onto the ground unconcious. He had gone too long without getting his wounds bound or cleaned. He hadn't even tried to stop the bleeding or remove the bullet from his shoulder.

Tasha was relieved Avery finally agreed to go back to the crew. She was eager to get to the gold city and wanted to make sure Evelyn wasn't hurt. She could feel his breath on her cheek and could tell he was breathing heavily. She started to suggest he lie down when she took a step towards the snake woman.
Before the woman had time to answer Avery collapsed. Tasha's instincts cut in and she pulled out her gun, aiming at the woman. Sit down. Tasha best down over Avery, her golden hair falling on his cheeks. She listened for his breath. He was breathing, but slowly. Avery....com'on Avery...wake up. Tasha looked at his shoulder, and could see the bullet. She slightly hesitated, then put her gun away stuck two of her fingers inside his wound. She felt around a bit and soon found the bullet. Avery flinched a little, but still stayed unconscious.
Tasha threw the bullet aside and grabbed a canteen from Avery's boot. Most pirates kept a canteen of rum near them and since Tasha hadn't noticed it anywhere else, she figured it must be in his boot. That's where she kept her canteen. She poured the brown liquid into this would, then turned to the woman. Are ye part of Jack's crew?

Sarah and Rhys had been walking a very long time and it was now getting late. Sarah's dress was torn to shreds and her face was nearly black with dirt. They were still looking for Jack but hadn't heard or seen any sign of him. The jungle scared Sarah during the day and she was even more worried at night. Sarah shivered as she heard the roar of a leopard far off and she moved a bit closer to Rhys.
Sarah looked up at the trees, but they were so dense she couldn't see the stars. While looking at the trees she tripped over a rock and fell flat on the ground. She looked up, hoping that Rhys hadn't seen her. Don't worry, 'm alright, just a bit...oy! What's this? Sarah picked up a golden spoon that was slightly buried beneath the dirt. Do you think it's from...El Dorado? Sarah stood up so Rhys could see the spoon closely.
Rhys...perhaps we should to find the campsite again...so that we can show this to Jack...so that he knows he's on the right track.

Mark thought about a lot to himself as he sat in the camp. He polished his pistols and sharpened his sword. He checked how many cartridges and bullets he had for his pistols.....he'd need every shot. He looked over to Will he seemed excited. He smiled at the mention of youngsters. He would give anything to settle down with a good woman and have a family. He felt it was time for a change of pace...but he could only dream for now. He smiled.
"My dear Elizabeth you are gonna let this man father a child? You must be mad."
He said jokingly. He smiled again. He continued to sharpen his sword and think about settling down. He moved closer to Will and Elizabeth. He hugged the two of them in a group hug manner.
"Congrats on the new baby...what do you think it'll be hmmmm?"
Mark said happily. Suddenly he was in a happier mood. He felt much closer to this small group of people. He had no idea why.

*Will felt himself being shaken awake though he continued to lay there, blinking up at Jack. His face was one of pure confusion as he sat up slowly, still blinking. Slowly he rose to his feet, dusting himself off as he grinned and laughed nervously at Jack.* Yes well the world has three Sparrows in it and it hasn't ended yet, I'm sure one more Turner won't hurt anything. *He grunted, nudging the man a bit.
He honestly didn't know what to think. He snickered at Mark but agreed with the guy. All at once a thousand different emotions rushed through Wills body, the biggest one being fear. What if he wouldn't make a good father? He'd never had a father really and was worried he wouldn't know what to do. As Mark pulled him into a group hug Wills mind was off in its own world and he didn't answer.
Finally he just smiled and grabbed Elizabeth kissing her deep and sweet and then he grinned boyishly.* This is mad. *He laughed and shook his head. Even though he was scared out of his mind, he was overwhelmed with happiness as well. Then suddenly he frowned.* Elizabeth, maybe you should go back to the Pearl. If anything happened to you or the baby I'd.... *He suggested his voice trailing off. He would protect her if he could but he suddenly felt it was too big of a risk to take letting his "family" go willingly into harms way.*

::Jack smirked at Will, clearly amused beyond words, then he sobered up suddenly::
"Don't worry mate....yer father was a good man....not just a good pirate but a really good man....an' yer just like him....your child will turn out fine..."
::Then he looked at Elizabeth, guessing what Will wanted:: "Of course we can have some of the crew go with ye to the Pearl...but...seems to me as yer child is part Swann and part Turner it's bound to be in more danger later in life...may as well get used to it..."
::He laughed and ruffled Will's hair up until it was a damn mess then smiled at Elizabeth, deciding to lett he pair of them figure things out.....::
::That said he began pacing the camp, thinking now, unable to sleep and really too full of thoughts to rest::

*Will glanced over at Jack and smiled sincerely. Will may not have known his father all that well but he had a great respect for the man, pirate or not. He knew Jack was right, Bootstrap was a damn fine man...Will hoped he could live up to the same standards.
Then he laughed, nodded, and shrugged a little. The Captain was right again.* Poor kid, it has no idea what kind of life its about to pop into. *He grunted, smacking Jacks hand away as the man ruffled his hair. Suddenly he yawned and wrapped his arms about Elizabeth, glancing down and placing his hand upon her belly. It seemed to strange to him that there was a life in there, one he proudly got to say he helped create.
A warm smile crept over his lips and he kissed his wife, leading her back over to the rock where he sat down with his back against it. He pulled her into him and sighed heavily as he closed his eyes and laid his head back against the cool surface of the boulder.* I don't mind if you stay with us Elizabeth...as long as you promise me you'll hide or run away as soon as you feel threatened. *He said, his head still back and his eyes shut.* Do that no matter whats happening to me. *He quickly added, peering through one eye for a moment before closing it again.*

::Jack being Jack was still pacing....watched Will and Elizabeth a long while and gave some serious thought to giving them some of the crew to go back to the Pearl with. He paced some more...thought it over and sighed::
::He felt a bit better, though he was sure his right arm would not be as useful as it had been before. It would be in time....but he felt lucky he was alive quite frankly. The crew was in edge he could feel it. But he was firmly convinced they could find the city soon::
::Jack whipped out the map again and looked at it. No doubt Barbossa would be taking Evelyn there soon..if he wasnt there already......::
::Still....Barbossa had his crew...he'd better get some rest if he was to be of any use to the crew in the morning.....::
::He settled down with a sigh near the fire and stared into the flames::

Rhys was rather surprised when Sarah appeared in the jungle behind her. She had not thought anyone would follow, but she accepted the company readily. The pair walked in silence for some time, just listening and using all of their senses to try and find Jack and Tobbs.
As Sarah tripped she watched apprehensively hoping that she had not gotten injured in the fall. The woman was soon on her feet, though. She held a spoon that glinted in the sunlight. At first the theif couldn't tell what it was, but as she brought it closer she could see patches of gold under the dirt.
She listened to Sarah's suggestion and then nodded agreement, "Let's go, they'll want to know about this as soon as possible. But first remember where we are!" Rhys quickly picked out unique parts of their surroundings to remember the area by; a tree that had fallen, a strange crossing of vines.
Slowly, Rhys turned in a circle, trying to detect which way they should head to find Jack. It had taken far too long, they must have gotten off track somewhere. They were lost now, not that Rhys would admit it. Out of nowhere the smell of smoke drifted to her nose. She began walking in the directions the wind was coming from. She soon could hear the sounds of a camp.
Motioning Sarah to follow quietly, she crept towards the campsite. Voices carried on the soft breeze and the quiet sounds of light snores wafted towards them. There was also the smell of burnt flesh and blood. Mixed with the fresh air and smell of green plant life it made an interesting combination.
Peering through a gap in the green, she saw that the crew was her own. She quickly motioned that it was all clear and walked into the clearing. She waved to some of the crew, but made her way towards Jack hoping that Sarah was following.
"Captain, Sarah found something you might be interested in," she told him. Her eyes drifted to his many wounds, more than he had when he had left her side earlier. Suddenly, she found herself aware that Tobbs and Will sustained injuries as well. "What happened and why in God's name did you run off like that ealier?" she asked him suddenly. She was about to say more, but realized she was addressing her Captain and grew quiet and in drawn. At home such words would get her beat or worse. She watched the man cautiously now, unsure of how he would react to her outburst.

Hot, shooting pain. That was all Avery could feel. He groaned, and attempted to roll over, it brought the feeling of leaves and grass pressing against his back. That was better, but he was still in the dark and the pain was starting to drain him. He felt so exhausted, but he couldn't rest. He desperately tried to push the black away from his mind, but it wouldn't budge.
He felt to helpless, yet he fought with everything he had in him. He wouldn't let this get him. There was another sharp shooting pain his shoulder, but no he could hear voices. Her voice was calling him back from the depths of black.
The black slowly started to fade and he blinked finding himself laying on the ground, the blue-eyed woman was squatting next to him. He watched her content for the moment. He was still confused but the sight of her put him at peace. That is until a throbbing pain in his arm brought his mind back to focus. He groaned and this time managed to roll over, his good arm going to clutch the wound.

Tasha continues to shake Avery and call his name. Avery! Avery! Come on now...wake up damnit. Tasha leans back a bit on her heels and sighs. It seems hopeless, she begins to talk to Kora, when she sees Avery's eyes open. She quickly leans over him once more. Avery! Oh thank God ye're awake! I 'as worried ye were goin' te die.

Sarah followed Rhys as she went to find the camp, and then later talked to Jack. Sarah slightly fliched as Rhys began yelling a Jack. Sarah didn't want her friend getting hurt, though she highly doubt Jack was well enough to hurt Rhys, Sarah still felt as if she had to intervene.
Sarah stepped in between Rhys and Jack. We were very worried Jack. We've been looking for you all day. We're glad to see you alive. Sarah hoped Jack decided to find the golden city right away. Sarah was eager to see it. Maybe she'd even find something to furnish her home.
