"Easy lad" Jack Sparrow said as he held a sobbing Will Turner in his arms. Anamaria was in the nearby cabin taking care of Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had gone into labor four hours ago and Anamaria went to help the young woman with her first birth.
Jack and Will stood outside. Will wanted to go to this wife but Anamaria and Gibbs chased him out. Jack stood with the young man as they heard Elizabeth scream and moan in the cabin.
An hour and a half later Anamaria came out of the cabin carrying two bundles. She looked at Jack and shook her head, tears shining in her eyes. She then turned to the young man.
"I'm sorry Will" she said "Neither of the little ones made it."
Will held out his arms and Anamaria handed him one of the bundles. He gently pulled back the blanket to reveal a little girl. Her eyes were closed and she looked as if she was sleeping but she drew no breath. He handed her back to Anamaria and then he sunk down onto his knees, crying.
Jack felt his own tears and helped Will up, hugging him tightly. They stood like this a while.
"Why Jack why?" Will sobbed out as he looked at Jack.
"I don't know mate" Jack said as he looked at Will. He felt his heart break as he saw the pain, regret and sorrow in the younger pirate's eyes.
"Will" a soft voice said and they turned to see Anamaria in the door.
"Yes Ana" Will said as he walked to her. She stood back and allowed him to enter the cabin.
Elizabeth was lying on the bed. She was unconscious, her hair plastered to her forehead.
Will immediately blamed himself for not being there.
"Stay with her" Anamaria said, "You both need each other now."
Will took Elizabeth's hand in his and gently squeezed it. "Elizabeth darling" he said "Please wake up."
He heard a soft moan and Elizabeth's eyes fluttered open.
"Will" she said and he saw the tears in her eyes "I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault love," he said as he hugged his wife to him. He couldn't believe it. They were going to have had twins – a boy and a girl. But now they had lost both their children.
Jack and Anamaria looked on in grief at the two torn parents. They then turned and left the cabin, allowing the two young parents to mourn in peace.
Will got settled next to Elizabeth and pulled her into his arms. She held him closed and softly cried.
Will stroked her back as he cried as well. Together husband and wife mourned the loss of their children that they would never see growing up into a fine man and woman.
