A/N: Okay, after watching the Wedding Date and having a CERTAIN SOMEONE who JUST HAPPENS TO HELP ME WRITE THIS bug THE LIVING S OUT OF ME to update, I'm finally putting up the last chapter of this fic. Hope you all liked it, and enjoy the last chappie.

"So, where are you and Jack off to after this?" Anna asked Catherine over the random grunts and groans coming from the crew of the Pearl and Dutchman behind her.
"Not sure. Barbossa and Jack worked something out to go for the Fountain of Youth" Catherine replied, casting a glance in the direction of the grunts. "Where are you and Norrington going?"
"We don't know. We figured since now James is a wanted man for killing Beckett-"
Groves, who had been listening, cut in. "No he's not, Annie"
"Hm?" Anna looked at him.
Groves paused. "At least, not anymore. Everyone who knew about it either hated Beckett, or just died in the battle" Groves replied before going back to attempting pushing the organ.
Anna shook her head. "Alright. Then we may just stick with the crew for a while. SOMEONE has to keep an eye on the two latest pirates" she smiled and nodded towards Murtogg and Mullroy. "God knows what trouble they could get into now" she smiled.
Catherine laughed. "True" she looked back at the men. "Come on, put your backs into it!"
Jack, Will, Norrington, Murtogg, Mullroy and the rest of the pirates who were attempting to push Davey Jones' pipe organ off the ship and onto the ground all looked up and glared at her.
Catherine scratched her ear and laughed nervously. "Eh heh… carry on"
"We don't see you helping us," Norrington growled.
"Here here" Jack nodded.
"That's some way to treat or new fiancée, agreeing with the man putting her down." Will said.
Jack glared at him, still trying to push. "William, mate. Speaking of fiancée, it is your last day on land for ten years… I saw Lizzie go off onto the beach a while back. Wouldn't you two want to do something?"
Will got the hint and walked towards the beach.
Norrington sighed, pushing his shoulder against the pipe organ to see if that helped moving it. "Jack, I appreciate you getting rid of Will so we don't hear him complaining about everything under the sun, but it would've been nice if you had sent him off AFTER WE HAD THIS ON THE GROUND!"
"Sorry, mate" Jack grinned.
"Of course you are" Norrington rolled his eyes. "Oh please, you're still jealous of Will since he got Elizabeth"
"Shut it! Both of our women are over there!" Jack pointed at Anna and Catherine, who were both watching with an amused smile. "Besides, I wasn't the one who was engaged to Lizzie then got stabbed in the back by Will"
"Well I, for one, am passed that, and I'm being civil to Will and hold nothing against him"
"Aw, that's only because you're in love with and wanna shag his sister. Get over yourself" he glanced at Norrington, who was staring back at him, his eyes darkening, a look with both shock and hate on his face. "Bugger" Jack muttered.
"THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU, SPARROW!" Norrington tackled Jack, pushing them back so much that they actually ended up tumbling down the hill, then over the small cliff that went right into the water below.
Catherine sighed, knowing that the fall the two men had just done was a short one. "Well, if we can get passed what those two had just said: There is a positive side to this"
"Which is?" Anna asked, her cheeks bright red from hearing Jack's comment.
"They're fighting, so they're back to normal," Catherine said.
"Right, but they just took that drop that goes right into water. Should we be worried?" Anna asked.
Catherine sighed. "You my friend, are paranoid. There's absolutely nothing to wor-"
There was a rather loud splash. "Well, not worry about, but be very curious about the outcome." She walked towards the edge of the land that they were on, just as the men had succeeded in getting the pipe organ onto land, and now, not caring where they landed, had collapsed in a heap, panting.
Anna glanced at them before going next to Catherine, looking down at the water, where the forms of Norrington and Jack were sword-fighting, waist deep in water.
"Told you" Catherine said.
"Feel free to tell me how they managed to get their swords after that whole thing" Anna sighed.
Meanwhile:
"You're- an- ass- man- previously- known- as- commodore!" Jack yelled, swinging his sword at the other man with every word.
"Admiral, as well, actually" Norrington added, taking a few jabs at the pirate.
"Oh, forgive me" Jack said sarcastically.
"I don't think I will" Norrington replied.
Jack took out a gold necklace that he had stolen from Barbossa's stash of treasure, paused, and started waving it back and forth in front of Norrington, as if he was making an attempt at hypnotizing him. "Yes ya will, mate"
Norrington sighed, turned to the right before turning back and punching Jack in the jaw, causing the pirate to fall back in the water.
Jack quickly recovered and got up, jumping Norrington from behind and putting him in a headlock. "You're a bloody id-" something in the distance caught his eye. "What?"
"Get- off- Sparrow!" Norrington yelled, trying to get his arm far back enough to take a few swings at Jack.
"That bastard's taking my ship again!" Jack yelled, dropping Norrington and wading out a few feet into the water, watching the Pearl sailing off. "He barely has any crew- WHO CARES?! THAT'S MY SHIP! BARBOSSA! YOU SCALLYWAG!"
"I don't think he can hear you, Jack" Norrington replied, attempting to shake the water out of his hair.
"Oh shut it" Jack snapped before grinning. "He may have me ship, but at least I have this- WHAT'RE YOU GOING TO DO NOW, HECTOR?!" Jack yelled, taking out a scroll-like object from his sash and holding it.
Norrington looked at him strangely.
Jack smirked. "Norrie, I give you the way to find the fountain of youth!" Jack opened it, showing it was circular with a bunch of Chinese characters on it. "You're welcome to join me, if you like"
Norrington rolled his eyes. "No thank you, Sparrow. I've been part of your crew once-"
"Twice. I was still captain this time around" Jack cut in.
"Fine. Twice, and I still hated every second. The bloody fountain is a myth, anyway" Norrington turned, heading for the shore that lead back to the path to the nearest town.
"Suit yourself, mate" Jack caught up to him, putting his hand on the other man's shoulder, which Norrington shrugged off. Jack shrugged before going further up the hill and onto the path. "Oi! Kitty!" he yelled at Catherine a few feet back.
Catherine paused, seeing Jack's condition before telling Jack to wait a moment, then went over to Norrington. "James, whatever the hell you did to him, I'm going to tell you this: I plan to start a family with that man, and for fair warning: If one of our children turns out to be daft, I'm naming him after you"
Norrington smirked. "Right. Family. Him" he laughed silently before turning and walking away to go to Murtogg and Mullroy who had also noticed the Pearl had left, and that they were supposed to be on it, and were now arguing with each other… again.
Catherine shook her head and went over to Jack. "You called?"
"Yeah, yeah. I did." Jack nodded, throwing his arm around her. "What do yeh say, Kitty? You, me, alone, lookin' for this- we can get married along the way!" Jack indicated the chart again.
Catherine looked at him. "Er-"
"Jack, that's a big step, don't yeh think?" Gibbs asked, also joining them.
"…No" Jack shook his head, then turned, hearing his name, frowning when he saw it was Scarlett and Giselle. "Goodie"
The two women walked over to him, completley ignoring Catherine, then started arguing with each other.
Jack sighed after a couple of minutes. "Ladies, will you please shut it! Listen to me!" he ordered. He looked at Giselle. "Yes, I lied to you" he looked at Scarlett. "No, I don't love you, now I have my own girl, Kitty, here" he motioned at Catherine before looking at Giselle. "Of course it makes you look fat!" he looked at Scarlett. "I've never been to Brussels" he turned to Giselle. "It's pronounced 'egregious'". He looked back at Scarlett. "By the way, I've never met Pizarro, but I love his pies" he looked at both of them now. "And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?" he asked.
The girls took their turns to slap him.
Jack paused before looking at Gibbs and slapping him.
Catherine gasped and slapped Jack. "That's my father, you idiot!"
Jack shrugged. "Whatever. Alright. You, me, and your father going to look for the fountain!" Jack offered.
"I'm not goin' out there again, Jack. You two can, but if I find that you broke me daughter's heart, I'll hunt yeh down" with that, Gibbs turned to go his own way.
Jack sighed. "Alright, man down. What do you say?"
"Fine. What do I have to lose?" Catherine sighed. "Let's go chase that myth"
----------
Abrupt ending for the normal thing, I know. Now comes the ten years later, part, in which I'll give the ages and what not of the kids. And I kind of knock of the part in Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring between Boromir and the hobbits in here. Couldn't resist. Anyway, kids and ages:
Will and Elizabeth's kid:
Will Jr… 8? 9 years old? Never got a straight answer
Norrington and Anna's kids:
Andrew (named after Gilette) and Cassandra…8 year old twins
Jack and Catherine's kids .These are Catherine's creations, not mine, which explains one of the names, and I'll give you one guess which one I mean.
Bill… 9 years old
Liz… 8 years old
Norrie… 7 years old
Jack: 6 years old
Anna: 5 years old
----------------------------
10 years later:
Elizabeth Turner sighed when she heard two children yelling. She didn't even need to see them to know it was Andrew and Bill yelling at each other. Catherine had returned about a year ago to meet back up with everyone else, telling of Jack and her adventures over the past decade and that Jack was going after another treasure, but found it only fair to have her see her friends now. But that was besides the point. The point was Andrew and Bill had taken after their fathers, and started a second generation of on and off hatred between the Sparrow and Norrington males. All the other children got along extremely well. In fact, Cassandra and Liz, the Sparrows' second youngest, were the best of friends. Now the three families were meeting to see Will come home… for good.
"Elizabeth!" Anna Norrington yelled happily, seeing her friend had gotten to the hill first.
Elizabeth grinned and ran over to Anna, hugging her. "Oh my god, hello! It's so good to see you! I haven't seen you two in ages!" Elizabeth grinned.
"Well, these two have kept us busy" Norrington motioned at the twins.
"And you couldn't be more happy about it" Anna smirked up at him.
"Of course I couldn't" Norrington smirked back, kissing her. He and Anna had gotten married nine years ago, and still couldn't be happier.
Elizabeth grinned, pleased to see both of them happy.
"So, your man show up yet?" Norrington asked, wrapping his arm around Anna.
"Not quite yet" Elizabeth replied, shaking her head.
"Yes, Norrington. Be patient!" Catherine smirked at him as she came over the hill to join them.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" Norrington shot back.
"Yes, I did" Catherine replied.
Norrington chuckled. "You know, Catherine, for someone who hates me, it was quite considerate of you to name one of your own after me" he moved his arm out in order to pick up the little boy who had just passed him.
The boy grinned. "Hello uncle James!"
"Hello Norrie" there was a slight flash of sarcasm in his voice when he said 'Norrie', but it was quickly pushed aside.
"So, are you going to come through on those fighting lessons you promised us?" Norrie asked hopefully.
Norrington nodded. "Of course. I'll be there in a moment. Seeing that you and the boys don't really have anything to fight with, why don't you find some good, big, branches to fight with, hm?" he put the boy down.
Norrie nodded and grinned before running off with Jack, Bill, and Andrew, who were still arguing.
Norrington smirked at Catherine again. "Funny thing is, he adores me, and he's the smartest of the bunch in my opinion"
Catherine made a face at him.
Norrington smirked again before bending down to pick up a fallen, moderately thin branch after seeing that the boys had found theirs. "Alright, remember the things I already taught you? Let's start there." he started moving his feet and swinging the branch around slowly "One, two, five" the boys parried almost perfectly every time. "Good. Faster. Very good" he turned, not expecting an unexpected amount of weight on his back. He turned, seeing brown hair, and a flash of green eyes. "Andrew-" he chuckled. "Agh!" more weight hit him and he fell, realizing the other three boys had joined in the playful
tackle. Norrington laughed harder, starting a playful wrestling match with them. They finally stopped, and Norrington spoke up, moving his arms back to get comfortable on the ground before looking at Catherine. "And you tell me I'm not a good uncle" he said, looking at Catherine. "Meanwhile I'm a good uncle AND father according to those two" he pointed at Anna and Elizabeth. "Which one is it?"
Catherine sighed. "Fine. You win"
"Thought I might" Norrington replied.
"Uh… Uncle James?" Norrie asked.
"Yes, son?" Norrington looked at him.
"I was wondering… dad and Bill have told me… and I was wondering… were you and aunt Elizabeth really engaged at one point?"
Norrington and Elizabeth turned red at the question.
Maybe I was off. Norrington thought. He shot a look at Catherine. "And I think I know where they got that information" he growled before looking at Norrie. "How do you know so much… about so much?" he asked.
Norrie shrugged. "I don't know. But… is it true"
"Well… er- OW!" Norrington practically yelped when he felt Elizabeth's foot come down hard on his hand.
"Of course not, Norrie" Elizabeth said. "Your uncle loves Anna, and I love Will. We wouldn't do that"
"Okay" Norrie nodded before going off to play with his brothers and cousin.
"We're not going to tell them the truth?" Norrington asked.
"Of course not! You know if Will knew that he'd be heartbroken about his father?!" Elizabeth replied.
"Right" Norrington nodded. He looked at Catherine. "Damn it, you win now"
"I thought I might" Catherine imitated him.
Norrington scoffed, clenching his fist, trying to get feeling back in his hand that had been so rudely stepped on.
They were all distracted when there was a flash of light.
Catherine smiled. "This is it, Elizabeth. Will's coming home"
Elizabeth smiled as that realization hit her, and she found that all she could do was smile.
FIN
Barbossa: NO!
