As Elizabeth ran to the galley, she went by the others who were sitting there talking.
"He's awake," she announced before leaving again.
Jack looked to Emma and she ran upstairs.
"Carefully Father," she said. She leaned his head back and let the water go down his throat.
Will stood by her side and both were smiling. "You really had us worried for a moment there sir," he said.
Emma was about to leave when Elizabeth turned her head and motioned that the woman come inside. Slowly she walked in and stood by her daughter's side.
"Father, you have no idea how much we owe you our thanks. If not for you then I don't think we'd be here."
"It was nothing. I would've done it anyway," Weatherby said.
His voice sounded so weak and fragile to Emma. She never heard him like that. He still didn't seem to be out of the woods yet.
"Why don't we leave you to rest," she said.
"No. Please, I wish to speak with you Emma."
Emma nodded to her daughter and son-in-law and the two left but not before Elizabeth laid a hand on her shoulder as a sign of good luck.
"Emma, I wish to apologize to you for all the pain I've caused. I let my pride get in the way and have no one to blame but myself. And maybe my father as well."
His words were so heartfelt that she felt tears come to her eyes.
"I accept your apology. I shouldn't have kept that from you. I am just as much in fault with this as you yourself."
She put her hand into his and he grasped it tightly as though to never let go. "I still love you Weatherby Swann," she whispered.
"And I you Emma Sparrow-Swann."
She leaned down and gave him a kiss. It was one of those kisses that one misses after years of not having it.
Will pulled Elizabeth to the side and sat her down.
"We haven't had much time to talk since your father was injured."
"I know."
"I told them everything; I hope that's alright."
"Of course its fine."
"Great," he said with a grin. "They're all very excited and..."
He couldn't finish speaking because she had begun to kiss him. The two wrapped their arms around each other and planned on not breathing for a little while.
The next few days, Weatherby began to get much stronger and before long Port Royal was in view. He stared at the island from the Pearl and sighed as a pair of arms wrapped themselves around his middle.
He turned to his beloved wife and smiled.
"I'm actually a bit surprised you accepted what I had to say."
"Well, when a man is willing to take a bullet for you, it's high time you give them a second chance."
They broke away and the crews of both ships stood before all of them.
Weatherby extended his hand to Jack and carefully Jack shook it.
"No hard feelings mate. Just take care of my sister. I'm going to be keeping an eye on you."
Weatherby nodded before he came to Bill.
"Take care of her." Her meaning Emma.
"I will."
Emma said good-bye to both men by hugging them at the same time and giving both of them a kiss on the forehead.
"Write to me."
Elizabeth and William stepped forward and said their good-byes to the crews as well. A longboat was placed into the water and the four of them stepped inside after waving one last time. Will and Emma rowed them to shore and before long the two ships were gone from the horizon.
Fluff all around. I hope you liked it and thanks for reading.
