Thank you all so much for reading this fic and reviewing. I really appreciate it. Enjoy the epilogue.
The four of them sat in front of the fireplace holding a glass of wine each. Elizabeth wasn't actually drinking much out of hers; she was just doing this for the occasion.
"To good friends," Will said raising his glass.
"To friends," everyone repeated.
Elizabeth gave Will a kiss on the cheek before raising her own. "To Will; for being able to fight the Queen's call."
"To Will."
"To the whelp."
Ana gave Jack a smack on the shoulder before laying her head upon it. Everyone was quiet for a few minutes. Elizabeth took a small sip of her wine and looked to be lost in thought.
"Will?" she asked.
He turned to her. "Yes Elizabeth?"
"What was it like...you know, under the Queen's control?"
Jack and Ana looked at each other before sitting up a little straighter. Will seemed to think it over. He closed his eyes and seemed unsure of what to say.
"It was like, hmm, like being asleep. Much of it I don't remember, other times it was as though I was hypnotized. There were two voices in my head, my own and hers commanding me. It was just too hard to resist. She was just too powerful." Will then turned to look at his wife and smiled.
"And then I heard you calling out to me. It was as though a veil had been lifted. I could finally see the light. And it was all thanks to you my Love."
Will pulled Elizabeth's head down and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He placed his other hand on top of Elizabeth's stomach and didn't take it off.
"To Elizabeth,' Jack said winking and raising his glass.
"To Elizabeth," Ana and Will repeated.
Ana then turned and raised the glass again. "To Jack for cuttin' off the Queen's head," she said.
"Off with her head," Will and Elizabeth both said while laughing at the same time.
Everyone reached out and clinked their glasses together. The young girls had been returned to their proper homes, Will and Elizabeth were starting a family and Jack and Ana were about to start their friendship anew. The forest was now safer than it had ever been thanks to four pirates who found themselves in a usual situation.
