I hate to double post BUT ITS DONE ITS DONE ITS DONE heres the final chapter and its epilogue
(thank you Sarahhp from Swann and Sparrow for all your help)
“Will!” Elizabeth said as he came to see her in her cell. “Where is my husband and my children?!”
“They’re together in another cell Elizabeth. I thought that it would be cruel to send them to their death without a proper goodbye. I’m afraid I can’t allow them to see you again, however, you’ll need to accept your new life as quickly as possible”
“That life will not include you, I don’t care what you do to my family!” she told him with tears in her eyes. “All you can hope to do is ruin my life, to break my heart by taking my children and the man I love away from me. You can never make me love you, or make me want to be with you”
“Oh, but I think I can” Will told her calmly.
“And you don’t love me!” she yelled. “If you did you would not wish to cause me such pain. You’d want me to be happy”
“Maybe feeling that pain will give you an idea of what I went through” Will hissed angrily, and left her.
“Will!” Elizabeth screamed. “I’m begging of you! Please don’t do this to me!”
She fell onto the floor as she dissolved in tears. She had never experienced this kind of fear before in her entire life. To just sit and wait for Will to come and tell her that her husband and two children was now dead, and having no possible way of stopping him from harming them. It was the worst pain she had ever felt, and she simply couldn’t stop crying.
----------------------------
Now, Pearl” her grandfather began desperately. “Are you sure this is not unwise? I mean…”
“Grandpa” Pearl interrupted. “I’ll put myself up as bait, distract him, and then you’ll come and save the day, savvy?”
“Yes, I quite understand that plan” Governor Swann assured her. “I’m just thinking of your safety”
“Well, you won’t have to worry if you just do your job, now will you?” she asked.
“You truly are Jack’s daughter” he told her softly.
“I take that as a compliment sir” she smirked.
“It was meant as such” he declared. “Be careful my girl”
I will” she assured him.
“It was truly a pleasure, and an honor, to meet you” he smiled, and gave his granddaughter a big hug as goodbye”.
“Likewise” she smiled, and hugged back.
She then turned to Norrington who was there to say goodbye as well. He saw the determined look on the girls face, and the twinkle in her eyes warned him that her goodbye to him would become memorable.
“It was a pleasure. I hope to see you again Miss Sparrow” he told her.
“You will unless you screw this up” she told him, and shook his hand.
“I’ll do my best to avoid that” he smiled amused.
They watched the tiny boat take the lead, and made sure to hold their distance. It wouldn’t do to arrive to soon after her. At the same time arriving to late had to be avoided as well.
------------------------
“Dad?” Torrie whispered hesitantly.
“Yes luv?” Jack smiled reassuringly.
“Do you ever get afraid?” his daughter wanted to know.
“Aye” he smiled lovingly. “I’m always terrified that anything will happen to you, Johnny and Pearl”
“I got a little scared today” she admitted softly.
“That’s nothing to be ashamed of!” Jack told her fiercely. “You were so brave, and so strong. You made me very proud. And fear can be a good motivator. You just can’t let it take control of you. Do you understand?”
“Yes” she nodded.
“I love you sweetheart” he told her and held her tight. “And I love you Johnny” he added and gave his son a kiss on the forehead.
“I love you too” both children replied at the same time, and he smiled.
“That makes me strong enough to go through anything I have to” he told them. “Never forget that”
“We won’t” Torrie answered, but was interrupted by Will’s voice.
---
“Who are you?!” Will screamed.
“Seems you forgot one of the children because you were in a hurry” she mocked him. “But I guess, if you can’t count to five you wouldn’t notice that one is missing”
“But you’re a girl!” he told her.
“At least your not as stupid as you look” she replied. “Of course I’m a girl”
“But the child that escaped was a boy” Will told her.
“Well, I haven’t gone from boy to girl in the last couple of days Mr. Turner” she smirked. “But as a eunuch I can see how it must be hard to tell the difference”
“Shut up!” Will told her angrily. “Get down there and join your father and siblings in the cell!”
“I can’t really do that mate” she told him. “You see, that would mean they would die, and I’d rather like to see them alive. So it seems we have a disagreement”
“Are you proud to sound like your pirate father?!” he sneered.
“Aye” she confirmed.
“He’s a pirate!” Will reminded her.
“Yes. He’s the same pirate you once called ‘a good man’” she told him calmly.
“That was before he tore my heart to pieces!” Will shouted.
“Like you did with the commodore?” she wondered.
“He was not in love with her!” Will told her. “He just wanted a trophy wife!”
“If that was true, then why did he let her off the hook so she could be with you? He wanted her to be happy, and if that meant being with you, he was ready to accept that. That’s love. What you’re doing most certainly is not!”
Will pulled his sword, and held it to Pearls throat. She merely smiled at him, and shook her head in disbelief.
“Are you actually going to kill an innocent child?” she inquired.
“You’re not innocent!” Will hissed.
“And what logic, pray tell, led you to that conclusion?” Jack’s angry voice asked.
Will turned around in an instant, and was now face to face with Jack Sparrow. And something in his eyes told Will that that was really not a position anyone would want to be in right now.
“She’s the reason I lost my fiancé!” he reminded Jack.
“No mate, I am” he said, and waved an elegant hand in a cocky gesture. “And now I’m not defenseless at all, which means you’re in big trouble dear William”
“Is that so?” Will snarled. “I’ve beaten you before”
“No whelp, you ALMOST beat me. But this time I must warn you, that would be the end of you, because no one lays a hand on my children!”
“I quite agree!” Elizabeth told him as she came out as well.
“As do I” Norrington joined in as he came upstairs with the children at his side.
“I knew you’d warm up to me!” Jack declared, repeating his words from their last fight.
“Indeed” Norrington said coolly.
“It’s a work in progress, got it” Jack nodded knowingly, and Elizabeth snickered at the look on Norringtons face.
“Elizabeth!” the governor happily said as he boarded the ship.
“What is this, a family reunion?!” Will demanded.
“That’s exactly what it is Mr. Turner” Jack confirmed. “And in the spirit of things I believe it’s time you go join your father. Tell Bootstrap I’m sorry it had to end like this, I never wanted to kill his son”
“Then why did you?” Will inquired. “Just so I’ll know what to tell him”
“Because he hurt my children and my wife, and that’s the consequence!” Jack told him, and stabbed him before sending him into the ocean to die.
“Jack!” Elizabeth burst out in shock, and he drew her into his arms.
“I know luv” he whispered. “I know”
“Pearl!” she cried as her daughter approached her with tears in her eyes. “You did it!”
“Of course she did. She’s a Sparrow after all!” Jack smiled proudly and kissed her on the top of her head. “And these two have been very brave as well” he told his wife, pointing at the two younger children.
“Torrie!” she sniffled, and held her daughter close for a while. “Johnny!”
“I’m glad to see you again Miss Sparrow” Norrington smiled at the girl “Guess I didn’t screw things up after all”
“No, and I must confess myself surprised” Jack cut in charmingly. “As I recall, you seem to have trouble following even the simplest of orders from a Sparrow”
“Only from you” Norrington corrected him.
“Will you follow us to Port Royal?” the governor asked his daughter hopefully. “I would like to get to know my grandchildren, and my daughter and son-in-law as well. To much time has passed”
“I quite agree” Jack saluted. “Lead the way commodore”
“I shall” Norrington saluted back, and headed towards the royal navy’s ship again. “Oh” he added, and turned around to face Jack again. “I want you to know that I was rooting for you mate. Know that”
Jack laughed, and went over to clap him on his shoulders. The commodore looked at him disbelievingly, but genuinely smiled this time.
“I appreciate your support” Jack told him amused.
as the Sparrow family entered Port Royal the citizens rather shocked gathered around them
Lord Beckett was less then eager to meet them "as much as I hate to break this memorable Moment I do believe theres still a arrest warrant for Jack Sparrow"
once again the entire family eyed the man "CAPTAIN CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow"
Cutler Beckett rolled His eyes at them he was about to speak more when Gov Swann Looked at him "as I said earlier there will be no arresting any member of my family"
feeling quite defeated Cutler looked at him "but sir He's Ja...." he was interrupted by the Youngest Sparrow starting to say Captain,he continued "Captain Jack Sparrow" the Governer looked at him back "I'm completely aware of that but he's also my son in law there will be no arresting him"
young Johnny tugged at his fathers arm "Daddy does this mean we're leaving the Island and the Undead Monkey behind"
Jack Sparrow smiled at his young son "Never my boy"
Johnny looked back at him "good because I like the undead Monkey"
Elizabeth looked at the others not really wanting to explain any of that to them "we're really just passing through we have a home on an island"
Gov Swann hoped that despite this fact He'd see his daughter more often
and perhaps He would despite all the difference he may have had with Jack Sparrow in the Past he'd learn to live with the fact that he is now his son in law and the Man his daughter fell in love with
Gov Swann watched as Elizabeth fiddled in her pocket for something,she Looked at him ,she felt no need to explain her actions to her father ,she smiled as she found the object,Upon opening it she smiled as it pointed to Jack
After all these years it was still right
Norrington looked at her and raised his eyebrow "so what is it with that thing?" He wondered out loud
she answered simply "it points to what your heart desires most"
THE
END
