I Do Not Own Pirates!

Italics are flashbacks

Will's POV

"Give me the power to destroy them and I will be yours forever." I say as I look out at the calm waters surrounding the Dutchman. I hear Calypso walk over to me and put her hand on my shoulder. She leans over and whispers in my ear, "Dis is a brave ting ye are doin' for ye family."

I show no emotion on my face, as I still continue to look out at the graceful waters. I take a deep breath and turn to face Calypso; she has a depressed look covering her dark features. One I am surprised to see, I have just told her that if she gave me the power to destroy the people who are threatening to kill my family I would be hers forever. She has wanted me to be hers ever since I became the captain of the Flying Dutchman. I figured she would be happy and yet she still has a saddening expression.

I take one of her hands in mind and raise it to my lips. But before I kiss it I look into her eyes and reply in a sincere voice, "I promise." Then I lightly kiss her hand. I straighten my posture but I still hold her hand. Her expression now is that of a grateful smile. I return her smile and before I knew it she pulled me to her and began kissing me passionately. After my shock I finely return her kiss, but in my mind I imagined that it was Elizabeth I was kissing, not Calypso.

1st Day Back

I jerk up from my bed, cold sweat covering my body. I was breathing hard as if I had just ran ten miles. I quickly look around, I finally realize that I was in mine and Elizabeth's bedroom. I glance down beside me to see the sleeping form of Elizabeth. I sigh as I wipe sweat from my forehead. My breathing had calmed down by then and I slowly got out of bed, trying as hard as I could not to make too much noise or movement so I wouldn't wake Elizabeth. I look down and noticed that I had nothing on, I turn to look at Elizabeth's sleeping form once more and smile remembering last nights events.

After I had gotten some clothes on I walk into the kitchen, grabbing me a cup of water I walk over to the window. I slowly take a sip from my glass as I look out the window watching the beautiful sunrise. I take a deep breath as the sudden feeling of dread surges through me.

I had done my ten years of duty aboard the Flying Dutchman, and after my ten years I was to be free from the curse if Elizabeth and I both stayed faithful. We both had stayed faithful to one another; neither of us had slept with another being. She thinks I am here to stay but I know that I cannot.

Calypso has allowed me to stay a week with my wife and son, only a week to say goodbye to them forever.

Around noon we were all on the beach enjoying the magnificent sunshine. Well Elizabeth and me were enjoying it, William; my son, on the other hand was playing with his wooden sword, pretending he was sword fighting with someone.

It was very entertaining to watch him; he was so dramatic at times. I just sat there in the sand with my right knee drawled up with my elbow resting on it as I rolled a little rock around in my hand. Elizabeth got up from her sitting position next to me and began walking over to William. She grabs another wooden sword and gets into a fighting stance. I give a little laugh as I watch the two begin sword fighting. 'I'm really going to miss them' I think to myself as my smile disappears from my tanned face.

I look down at the rock in my had that I had been playing with. 'It was for the greater good.' I can't help but feel like I had betrayed them. While they think I am here to stay for good, I feel as if I have killed my soul.

"Will?" I yank my head up to see Elizabeth and William looking at me. William had a grin on his face while Elizabeth had a worried look. "Are you alright?" she asks me slowly walking over to me. I smile and nod my head yes. When she reaches me she grabs my hand and pulls me up so I was standing.

William walks over and gives me a hug as I return it. He looks at me with a grin and says, "I'm gonna go to the house now." I smile as he turns and begins running to the house, swinging his wooden sword around like he was cutting weeds down. When William is out of sight I turn my attention back to my wife. She is looking at me with a worried expression covering her beautiful face.

"What?" I ask offering her a smile; she doesn't return one but jerks her head away so she was no longer looking at me. I sigh as I take my hand and place it under her chin and raise her head up so she is now looking at me. I lower my head down and place a simple kiss on her lips. Then when I lift my head up and look into her eyes once more I see tears beginning to fall from her beautiful hazel eyes.

I am confused as to why she is crying. I place my hand on her cheek and take my thumb and begin rubbing circles on her soft skin. "Elizabeth what's wrong? Have I done something to upset you?" I ask, a hint of concern in my voice. She takes her hand and wipes the tears from her eyes and after a moment looks back up at me. I can't help but feel worthless at this moment.

"Your…your not the sa-same man." She replies before she almost falls to the ground crying, but luckily I caught her in time and gently place her on the ground as I set beside her holding her as close as I possibly could. She continues to cry while laying her head on my chest. 'Thank god Calypso placed my heart back in my chest when I came back or Elizabeth would suspect something'

I gently kiss the top of her head as she finally calms down from crying. She looks back up at me with bloodshot eyes from crying so much. I look at her beautiful face as I take my finger and push some of her hair away from her face. "Ten years out at sea changes a man." I say to her as I gently lean down and kiss her cheek. Then I move to where I can whisper in her ear, "but my love for you and our son will never change." I feel her shudder as I whisper in her ear; I give a little chuckle and move to where I can look into her eyes. She is now smiling, I smile back at her as I lean down and begin kissing her passionately.

The next thing I know we were both laying in the sand, I was on top of her as she lay on her back. We were still kissing each other as passionately as we possibly could. I feel her long fingers go under my shirt; all I can hope is that she doesn't scratch too hard. The scars from where my father had used that whip on my back while Davy Jones still captained the Flying Dutchman were still as sore as they were the day it happened. But all that hope was lost when she dug her nails into my back. I pulled away from kissing her and hiss in pain. When I open my eyes I look down at her, pain still showing in my face. "I didn't press down very hard, how could that possibly hurt you that bad?" She asks, confusion showing on her face.

I gently roll over on my back grimacing as my back makes contact with the ground. "The scars still hurt as much as they did the day it happened." I reply with my eyes still closed. I hear her roll over on her side. I open one eye to see her propping her head up on her elbow so she was looking down at me. She shakes her head as she gives me a comforting smile. "Why didn't you tell me before I did it?" She asks as I roll over on my side and prop my head up on my elbow so I was eye level with her.

I move my head closer to hers and right before our lips touch, I whisper in a seductive tone, "that would have just ruined the moment, love." She smiles and begins to close her eyes as I move a little closer to her, then I quickly move away and stand up. She swiftly opens her eyes and stares at me confused. I look down at her and when I see her face I begin laughing. This makes her even more confused, I lean down and grab her free hand and start pulling at her to get up.

After she stands up and brushes herself off she looks back up at me, confusion still covering her stunning face. I move closer to her and wrap my arms around her waist as I rest my forehead on hers. I close my eyes briefly and take in her wonderful smell, and then I open my eyes. She is still looking at me in confusion. I lightly kiss the tip of her nose and smile as I whisper, "I love you." She grins and we just stand there for a few moments just getting lost in each other's eyes.

Then all of a sudden, "Father will you just kiss her already?" We both jump as we hear our son say this. We were both caught off guard, and then we look behind me to see William looking at us excitingly. I laugh and so does Elizabeth, we look at each other once again smiling. Then I slowly lean down and kiss her on the lips, we both smile against each other's lips when we hear William laughing. 'I could do this forever.' I think to myself as we finally pull away. She lays her head against my chest and whispers, "I love you, William Turner."
