Thank you all so much for the reviews. You have no idea how thrilled we are that you're enjoying the story. Enjoy the new chapter.
When they were halfway to the deck, Elizabeth could've sworn she heard someone beginning to play a guitar. She looked to Will and he looked to her. He was smiling as he led her onto the deck. The entire crew stood before them, all smiling. Mr. Cotton sat in the corner with Marty. Cotton playing a guitar while Marty began to play a piccolo.
"Elizabeth," Will said taking her hand into his and going down on one knee. She looked down to him slightly confused before he continued. "will you marry me? Again?"
"Will…we…"
"I know. But I wanted us to have a proper wedding this time. With friends around us and not East India Company soldiers and undead pirates. Save for me of course."
"Oh Will, of course I'll marry you. I'll marry you a thousand times over if its necessary."
Will took her by the hand and they walked up to Jack who stood before them as though he were a priest.
"Beloved crew; we are gathered here today to witness the happy nuptials of two of our closest friends. They've been here once before and wish to be here again. By here I mean sharing vows. They might've been married by Barbossa but he doesn't have any of my style. So I ask you Captain William Turner, do you take Elizabeth Swann, already Turner, to be your wife again? In sickness and in health so long as you both live so to speak?"
"I do again," Will said looking lovingly into her eyes and smiling at Jack's choice of words.
"Great; and do you Captain Elizabeth Swann, technically Turner, take William to be your husband? In sickness and in health…how does that work when he's immortal; so long as you both shall live?"
"I do again," Elizabeth said holding their son up so he could see everything as well.
"Now, I believe William has a little something to give you," Jack said allowing him to have the floor.
Will turned to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth I gave you my heart figuratively as a young boy and literally as a man but today I give you this ring as a token of my unending love for you, an outward sign of my devotion."
Elizabeth's face streamed with tears of joy. Will reached for her hand and she gave it to him smiling. He slipped the ring on her finger and surprisingly enough to both of them – it was a perfect fit. She looked up at him and kissed him as she whispered, "thank you." Will smiled in return but stopped when he looked at Elizabeth's face, "What's wrong Elizabeth?'
"I don't have a ring for you my love."
Jack cleared his throat and motioned for Elizabeth to take something out of his hand. In his hand there was a band of gold, "Jack we couldn't," Will began to say.
"Too small for me – just was hanging on to it for the opportune moment. I believe this is it," Jack said smiling and happy to be the hero once again.
"Thank you Jack," Elizabeth said kissing him on the cheek.
"Easy girl, remember you're marrying the whelp and all." Both Elizabeth and Will giggled at the statement and the baby joined in cooing and laughing. "Is there anything you want to say Elizabeth?"
"This is more than I ever thought that I'd get – no, ever deserve. I thought for the longest time that it would be just myself for the next ten years. Then I discovered that I was with child. If not for this little man in my arms, I would've more than likely chucked myself off into the sea just to be with you eternally. Will, thank you so much for this tiny miracle."
"Think nothing of it," Will said back with an equal grin as he looked to his son.
Jack seemed to be staring off into space before he remembered something that came next. "Right; by my powers as Captain I still pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride…again."
The crew cheered all around them as the two kissed. Suddenly, little white flakes came down upon the ship and all aboard her.
"Is that snow?" Elizabeth asked staring in amazement.
"In the Caribbean?" Will said equally shocked.
"I believe that this might be a gift of a certain goddess," Jack said catching a snowflake on his tongue. Gibbs disappeared to continue with the meal and called everyone down a few minutes later. Everything tasted as glorious as though a worldwide famous chef made it. They were halfway finished when Jack stood, rum bottle in hand and ready to make a toast.
"Since I believe the best man is well unable to say anything but cooing, it falls to me to make the toast. To Elizabeth and Will – they are the perfect couple - adventurous, loyal and loving. Never have I seen a truer love than theirs," Jack stopped and looked around the entire crew stood there with their mouths hanging open, "why are ye surprised that I can say something nice? Anyways, may the next few years fly by until ye find yourselves in each other's arms once again." The crew stood in silence as Elizabeth and Will looked into each others eyes, "Drink up mates to the whelp and his wench." The crew started laughing and everyone raised their bottle, "To Will and Elizabeth," they all cried. Will and Elizabeth quickly took a sip then began to kiss passionately. "Time to take it downstairs," Jack said shoving them towards the stairs.
Sadly the next chapter will be the last. Thanks for reading.
