"There's something I need to tell you." Elizabeth heaved a sigh and then everything came out in a rush. "About two years after you left, I was feeling really lonely and missing you. Jack was there and he gave me rum and before I knew it I woke up and we had slept together. But it was only because I was drunk. And then you came back, so I tried to put it behind me. When we found out I was pregnant I was thrilled, I thought she was yours. But as soon as looked at Sophia I knew that Jack was the father. I'm so sorry." Will didn't seem upset, instead he seemed to be in thought.

"Do you think maybe there was another reason?"

"Pardon?"

"That maybe you didn't sleep with him just because you were drunk. Maybe you really care about him, you just didn't want to admit it." And suddenly a realization came over Elizabeth. Here she was sitting with her best friend, but he wasn't the man she loved. The man she loved was currently getting ready to set sail with her daughter for god knows how long. "We've fallen out of love with each other. You love Jack now, and I, well I figured out just how much I love the sea. Sailing is my mistress. I think I might try to go back to the Flying Dutchman. Maybe be captain again. And you should go to Jack." Elizabeth looked up at him, into his eyes. They were sincere.

"Are…are you sure?"

"I only want you to be happy, Elizabeth. It's what I've always wanted." Elizabeth smiled at him.

"Thank you." She wrapped her arms around Will.

"But if you don't mind I would like to say goodbye to Sophia." Elizabeth pulled back and wiped her eyes.

"Of course. She's still your daughter Will. She loves you." The two of them walked down the dock to the Black Pearl where Jack and Sophia stood. Elizabeth and Will smiled up at the two of them.

"A fine couple of pirates in front of me," Will stated.

"Look, mate, I…" Jack started, but Will held up his hand.

"It's my fault. I should have known better than to trust a pirate with my wife." No one knew how to respond, thinking that Will was angry until he smiled. "But if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to Sophia." Jack nodded. Sophia got off the ship to join Will while Elizabeth stepped onto the ship.

"Jack, we need to talk too."

"Oh."

"Will and I just had a talk and he made me realize something."

"That neither of us is the father and you have a third lover out there. Damn pirates," Jack joked.

"Jack I love you,' Elizabeth blurted out.

"What?" He turned to her.

"I…" but Elizabeth didn't finish because at that moment Jack pressed his lips to hers.

"I love you too," he whispered as he pulled away from her. She smiled and took his hand. "But if pirates make bad fathers, they make horrific husbands."

"Well they don't make very good wives either. I just ended a marriage because I had a daughter with some pirate." Jack smiled at her. "An excellent pirate, but nonetheless. I'm not looking for another marriage right away. Just some fun."

"Fun I can do love." Jack put his arms around her and kissed her again.

"Don't tell me, you're going to do that all trip," Sophia joked as she got back on the ship. The two pulled back, embarrassed.

"Well let's get this underway. Hoist the sails!" Jack raced around yelling to his crew to get going. As the ship pulled away from the dock, Elizabeth and Sophia stood on the edge looking back to shore. Will raised a hand to wave to them and they waved back.

"So what did you two talk about?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"He just explained to me where he was going, and I made him promise to some see me every ten years. He's still my father. Bye papa!" Sophia called over the crashing waves. Will smiled and blew her kiss. She blew one back.

"Papa?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"Something wrong with that?" Sophia was worried.

"It's just, I mean, if you call him papa, what will you call Jack?"

"Captain Jack, just like everyone else." Sophia smiled at Elizabeth.

"Damn right you will," Jack joked as he joined them on the edge. The three laughed. Jack kissed Elizabeth once and then put one around her and the other around Sophia. Jack Sparrow watched the dock shrink as they got further out to sea but he didn't care if they ever went back. He had all he needed right here. A woman he loved and his beautiful daughter. And his beloved Black Pearl of course.
