A/N: Here's the moment you've all been waiting for! It's the longest chapter so far and I'm rather proud of it. I did use a quote from AWE. There's some humor in it too. I hope you like it! As soon as I finished Chapter Nine, I went to work on this and finished it. So here it is! Chapter Ten!

Chapter Ten

A Love and Hate Reunion

Today was the day. That was the first thing on Jack's mind when he woke up. In excitement, he shook his lover awake. She groaned and tried to open her eyes. "AnaMaria! Will's comin' home! Grab the children and get them ready to meet Will," Jack whispered with much excitement in his voice. AnaMaria nodded and rolled over on her side, not wanting to budge. "AnaMaria!" growled Jack, nudging AnaMaria. Perhaps I nudged her a little too much, Jack thought to himself as he stared at the female pirate on the floor. She sat up and looked over the bed. Daggers of death looked back at Jack. AnaMaria was obviously not a morning person. Jack slowly moved out of the bed, staying far away from his lover. Every step Jack took, AnaMaria's deadly glare followed. Finally, Jack reached the door and bolted out of the cabin.

Jack walked up the steps to the main deck. Not many smiles had been aboard the Black Pearl since Elizabeth had died. Lucky for them they were blessed with Isabella and William Turner to remind the crew of what great people their parents had been. However, on this particular day, everyone, even Barbossa, was smiling. "Cap'n!" Gibbs called out to Jack as he approached him. "Do ye know what today is?" Jack nodded to his first mate and replied, "Aye. I do, Mr. Gibbs. Will is coming home." Jack paused in thought and after a moment said, "Keep it down though. The children still don't know that he's their father. I figured I'd tell Will first..."

Mr. Gibbs raised a grey and bushy eyebrow towards Jack and asked, "Do ye think that's wise, Jack? Young William despises Cap'n Turner." Jack nodded, understanding what his first mate was trying to tell him. "I know Willy despises his father," Jack said. "Just be glad that the lad isn't that good with a sword like his father." Gibbs laughed at Jack's comment. He replied, "Remember the scar he gave ye last year, Jack?" Jack nodded, remembering of his sword lesson with the boy in which Willy cut Jack deep, enough to get stitched up.

Will rushed around the deck of the Flying Dutchman, excited that he'd be able to set foot on land. Watching his son, Bootstrap laughed. "You're like a ten year old, William," the man called out to his son. Will stopped and turned to look at his father. The two went below deck and sat down, to talk. "I'm excited," Will began. "I know that Elizabeth won't be there to greet me but Jack will be there. He's a good friend and I'm sure he's kept my heart safe for all these years." Bootstrap chuckled at Will, shaking his head. He replied, "You said Jack was eager for you to meet him in St. Maarten. What do you think that was all about?" Will shrugged.

Nearly eight years ago, he had visited his old friend, Jack, in hopes of seeing his wife. That day he found out his Elizabeth was no longer among the living. Jack had pushed and pushed at Will to meet him in St. Maarten until the captain of the Flying Dutchman finally gave in. "Will, are you going to be returning here as Captain?" Bootstrap asked a question the whole crew had been wanting to ask. Will looked at his father. He didn't know what was going to happen. He grew fond of the Dutchman and the time he spent with his father but he missed being around people. He missed making swords. He missed Jack, Gibbs and even Barbossa. Most of all he missed being on land. "I don't know," Will replied. "Calypso hasn't given me any word."

The hours seemed to go slow for Jack and the rest of the crew but the time had finally come. AnaMaria, Jack and the three children trudged through dirt and rocks to get to the home they had bought four years ago when AnaMaria was pregnant. Jack had of course given permission for the rest of the crew to sail to Tortuga for some fun. They were to return in a month to pick up Jack, Elizabeth and AnaMaria.

Upon arrival to the home, Willy and Bella ran to their rooms. Both were excited to be home and on land. "What are ye going to do, Jack?" AnaMaria whispered, combing out her daughter's raven black hair. Jack smiled his usual toothy grin. AnaMaria knew that her lover had an idea. She just hoped that it was a good one. "Jack?" AnaMaria asked curiously. Taking his daughter from AnaMaria, he replied, "I'm goin' to take Elizabeth down with me and introduce her to her Uncle Will. On our way back, I'll tell the eunuch." AnaMaria laughed. "Ye haven't called Will a eunuch for a while, Jack. Ye must be pretty excited to see 'im," the female pirate said. Jack nodded and bent down to kiss AnaMaria. "Be careful," AnaMaria called out as the door closed behind Jack and Elizabeth.

Jack walked along the path, holding Elizabeth's hand. He looked down to her, smiling. If she wasn't so tan, she could've been Bella and Willy's actual sister. All three had dark eyes and a head full of curls. "Are ye excited, Lizzie?" Jack said to his daughter. The young girl looked up at her father, smiling. Elizabeth nodded. "Aye, Papa," she replied. "Mama always said that Uncle William was a good man." The four year old paused and looked out to the ocean, hoping to see the green flash when Jack and her came to a stop. Elizabeth continued, "Is it true that I'm not really Bella and Willy's sister?" Jack could tell his daughter was sad and he hated it. He vowed to always make her happy because he loved her.

"Aye, Lizzie. It is," Jack answered. Elizabeth responded with a sigh of sadness and frustration. Jack reached down and picked his daughter up so he could be eye level with her. "Listen, little girl. They may not be blood but they will always be yer brother and sister. Understand?" Jack said. Elizabeth nodded and hugged Jack. "Good." It was only minutes before sunset. "Get ready, Lizzie," whispered Jack. "He's coming." Elizabeth and Jack both watched the horizon. Both tried to be as patient as possible.

Then it happened. Upon the horizon, a green flash happened and before the duo knew it, the Flying Dutchman was there. Jack waved to his old friend as did Elizabeth. Elizabeth turned to look at her father. Her dark eyes danced with excitement at seeing the famous Captain of the Flying Dutchman. It seemed like forever before Will reached shore in a yawl. Will dragged the small boat on shore, making sure it wouldn't float away. "Jack!" Will called out. Jack smiled and approached Will. "How are you?" Will asked.

With a twinkle in his eye, Jack replied, "Can you hear it, Will?" Will looked at Jack, oddly, before realizing what Jack meant. He placed a hand over his scar and realized that he could hear his heart pounding inside his chest. Will looked back up at Jack and said, amazed, "It's back." Jack nodded. "You knew about this all along didn't you, Jack?" Will scolded. Jack shook his head and replied, "I found out about it five years ago, Will. I wasn't allowed to tell ye and it was sort of a little trick that Calypso wanted to play." Will laughed but that all stopped when he realized that Jack wasn't alone.

"Who is she?" Will asked. Straightening Elizabeth's dress, Jack looked at Will and replied, "This lass here is my daughter, Will." Will looked at Jack wide-eyed. It was obviously hard to believe that Jack would ever be a father. "Scarlet or Giselle's the mother right?" Will asked. Jack shook his head and answered, "For once, yer wrong, William. AnaMaria is the one who blessed me with this child." Will's eyes grew even wider. He always thought that the two hated each other. Boy was he wrong. "And does your daughter have a name?" Will asked, curiously. Jack nodded and with seriousness in his voice he replied, "Aye. It's Elizabeth Susan Sparrow." There was a moment of silence before Jack continued, "we named her after the Pirate King."

The name Jack and AnaMaria seemed to choose for their first and probably only child made Will grin. The two pirates were keeping Elizabeth alive and she was inside their daughter. Jack, Will and Elizabeth made their way back to the large white house where AnaMaria was. "I'm not the only one who is a father, Will," Jack said out of the blue. Will looked curiously at Jack and through a chuckle he asked, "Gibbs isn't...?" Jack laughed and shook his head. "No, no, no," Jack replied. "He's too old. A child would probably give him a heart attack."

Jack stopped and Will kept walking. Finally, Will realized that Jack stopped. Will turned around to look at Jack. "Jack?" Will asked. "Whose a father besides you?" Jack took a deep breath and thought to himself, It's now or never. "You are, Will," Jack answered. Will had a look of confusion on his face. He didn't fully understand what Jack was getting at. He wasn't even sure if he wanted to. "But Elizabeth..." Will began. "Elizabeth died... ten years ago." Jack smiled and closed the gap between him and his friend. He replied, "Aye she did."

"She died of Malaria, Jack. You told me herself." Will said. His face was pale and he looked as if he'd pass out at any moment. "Pirate," Jack exclaimed. "She didn't die of Malaria, William. That was some excuse I made up. She died giving childbirth. Her dying wish was for me to raise them so you could finish your duty as captain of the Dutchman and in ten years, which is today, I was supposed to tell you about them."

"Th-them?" Will asked, trying to force himself to speak. He had always hoped that he could've had children with his Elizabeth but knew it wasn't possible because she was dead. Now here Jack was before him, on the day of his return, telling him he was a father and to his dead wife's children. Jack nodded and responded, "She had twins, Will. A boy and a girl." All this took Will a few minutes to register in his mind. He was glad but he still thought all of this was a mean joke being played on him by Jack. "What are their names?" Will asked.

"Isabella Marie Turner and William Keith Turner the third. They go by Bella and Willy. They were born February 17th in Port Royal," Jack replied. He still wore a smile upon his face. Taking the initiative, Jack grabbed hold of Will's wrist and proceeded in walking. Elizabeth was growing fussy for both food and her mother. After five minutes, Will asked, "What if they don't like me? What are they like, Jack?"

Jack looked at Will. They could see the house down the dirt road. "Well, Bella's a lot like Elizabeth. Golden brown hair and all. She has a real knack for swords and loves to read about pirates. Ye tend to be her favorite pirate to read about." Jack paused, seeing Will's eyes shine. He debated on whether not to tell him of Willy but he knew he had to. He took a deep breath and continued, "Willy is a handful. He doesn't like sword lessons. He doesn't like you because you take up all of Bella's attention and he despises Elizabeth for abandoning him."

Outside of the white house, Will stopped and looked at Jack. "I don't think I'm ready for this, Jack. They don't even know me and my son hates me!" Jack placed a hand on his friends shoulder and looked at Will. "Don't worry, Will. You'll win both of them over in time," Jack replied. His words seemed to ease Will's doubts. Jack opened the door to hear AnaMaria yelling for Willy to get downstairs. Jack looked around and saw Bella in a yellow dress with her curly golden brown hair tied back with a yellow ribbon sitting in the parlor. Quietly, Jack brought Will to peek into the parlor for the first glimpse of his daughter. Will's breathing was heavy as he stared at his almost ten year old daughter. "She's beautiful," Will whispered.

Jack smiled. He knew that Will would fall in love with his children as soon he saw them or at least one. "Bella," Jack said entering the parlor. "I have someone I'd like ye to meet." Bella looked curiously, forgetting that it'd be her hero that she'd be meeting. Will walked up beside Jack and covered his ears when he heard a loud squeal of excitement coming from Bella. The child immediately jumped off of the sofa and ran to Will, hugging him. Will bent down to hug Bella back. He didn't want to let go but he knew he had to. Bella still thought Jack was her true father. AnaMaria approached Jack with her arms crossed. "What's going on?" Jack asked. AnaMaria glared at Jack as if he was the worse person in the world. "Well," AnaMaria began. "Willy refuses to come down." Jack smirked and set Elizabeth down. He replied, "I'll be back." Jack proceeded up the stairs as he held, "William! You better get yer hide down here!" The sound of a door locking could be heard. Willy knew he was in trouble.

Willy sat on his bed with arms crossed and a scowl on his face. "I'm not meeting the all high and mighty Will Turner," grumbled Willy. As the nine year old boy sat in his room, refusing to meet Will Turner, a loud and furious pounding sounded on his door. "What?" called out Willy angrily. On the other side of the door, Jack shouted, "Willy, open up this door!" Willy shook his head to himself and answered, "No!" Willy could hear Jack chuckling and the sound of his pistol being pulled out.

A loud gunshot rung through the house and probably most of St. Maarten. The door swung in and in shock, Willy replied, "You're mad." Jack smirked and said, "Well, thank for goodness for that. Because if I wasn't, that probably wouldn't of worked." Jack reached down and grabbed a squirming child by the collar of his shirt. "Listen boy," Jack snapped. "Yer goin' downstairs to meet Will. It's about time you and yer sister know just who Will Turner is." Jack pushed Willy towards the door and demanded, "Now get goin'." Willy looked at Jack to see Jack's pistol pointed at him. He sighed and sulked the whole way downstairs with Jack close behind and his pistol still pointed at Willy's back.

"Everything ok?" AnaMaria asked as Willy and Jack reached the bottom of the stairs. Willy glared at Jack and AnaMaria before joining Will and Bella in the parlor. Jack smiled at AnaMaria as he put his pistol away. "Everything's just peachy," the male pirate said before joining the others in the parlor. He turned to look at AnaMaria and said, "We're goin' to have to replace that door." AnaMaria shook her head at Jack. He had such a weird way of doing things but she couldn't deny her feelings for the pirate.

Bella sat beside Will, trying hard to control her excitement. Here she was almost ten and sitting by the captain of the Flying Dutchman. She couldn't help but realize how nervous Will Turner was. His leg shook quickly, causing the floor and sofa to shake a bit. Jack and AnaMaria soon joined them. They sat beside Willy, one on each side. Bella giggled. She knew what their intentions were towards her brother. It was so he wouldn't run off. "The real reason why Captain Will Turner is here today," Jack began. There was confidence in his voice. After Willy's performance upstairs, Jack knew how everything would go and he was prepared for it. "Well, it's because yer mother was his wife. Elizabeth Swann was Elizabeth Turner. Thus making you too his children. His biological children."

Gasps escaped from the lips of Bella and Willy. The twins couldn't believe it. They knew Jack as their father. Bella wore a smile. Her wish had come true. As for Willy, a scowl was still on his face. "Great!" Willy exclaimed. "First I'm told most of my life how much I'm like this whelp." Willy made a gesture towards Will and he snarled as he saw how happy his twin sister was. "Then he takes ALL of Bella's attention and now... he's my father?" Jack nodded and Willy stood to go up to his room. He was immediately pulled back down by both AnaMaria and Jack. Jack glared down at the curly haired boy and replied, "Ye can go up to yer room but ye can't lock it. Remember I blew the bloody door in."

Even though Bella was excited, she couldn't believe what was happening. Will Turner was really her father. Just like she always wanted. Bella stood so she was in front of Will and threw her arms around Will's neck, hugging him fiercly. Will looked confused at Jack but soon hugged his daughter back. He ran his hand through her golden brown curls when he realized that Bella was crying. "Shh," Will said quietly in a soothing voice. "It's alright, Isabella. I'm here and I'm not going any where. I promise."
