Disclaimer: We don't own a thing.

Thank you all so much for the reviews. We really appreciate it. Sorry about holding off on this. Now here's the real answer to what you're dying to know. Of course, why should the answer come easily. Enjoy.

It was on the tip of her tongue. How hard was it to just say yes and be done with it? Will was staring at her intently waiting for an answer of some sort.

"Ye-"

"William," Jack said rudely cutting her off. "I need to speak with you for a moment."

The Captain had spoken just in time to ruin the moment. Will looked from his son in his arms, to the elderly woman who was slightly smiling and slightly angry too. Ana stood by Jack's side so obviously this was something of great importance.

"You'd better go to him. Somehow I believe that if you don't then great misfortune will come to us," Elizabeth/Susanna said with a great sigh.

"I have a feeling you might be right there," Will said causing the both of them to chuckle slightly until she broke out into a hacking cough. "Are you alright?" he asked patting her on the back.

"I'm fine; don't worry about me. Go and talk with your Captain," she said slightly flushed in the face.

Will nodded and was about to walk away when he looked to his squirming son held in his arms. "Miss Susanna?"

"Yes William?"

"Could you…do you think you can watch my son for a few minutes. While I talk to Jack and Ana? Because if you don't think you can handle it then I can hold him…"

"Will," she said interrupting him and smiling slightly. "It's fine. I can watch the little angel for you, no problem."

"Great!" Will said finally breaking out into a grin. This caused the woman to laugh out loud. He'd said it in exactly the same way as he had during their wedding. She quickly stopped as Will sent her a confused look.

"What was that-?"

"You just reminded me of someone just then. Now, the child if you will," she said extending her hands.

"Be nice to Ms. Susanna," Will whispered. He kissed the boy on the forehead, handed him to Elizabeth and went off to speak with Jack and Ana. Elizabeth and Will III watched him go before she looked down at him and he looked up at her.

"Mommy," he whispered while touching her face.

Hello my little prince, she thought to herself. She placed him onto her lap and quietly began to sing to him.

"Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me. We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho!"

"My Mommy used to sing that to me sometimes," the boy said getting a little excited.

"Did she now," Elizabeth said with a grin before continuing.

Will took one last glance at his son and the kindly elderly woman before standing next to Jack and Ana. He crossed his arms across his chest. "What's wrong?"

"Ana's been telling me things about her Aunt," Jack said looking to Ana so she could continue.

"Is there a problem?" Will asked, getting a bit worried.

"Well, my Auntie doesn't have much time left I'm afraid. She's not as young as she used to be and," here Ana looked up and into Will's eyes, "and she doesn't believe she'll see next month let alone next year. This is where she truly wants to be though. She loves the sea, loves everything about it so this was one of the last places she wanted to go before…"

All of them looked at the woman whose eyes seemed to have a faraway look to them as she looked out at sea in a wistful manner.

"Is there anything we can do for her?" Will asked sadly.

"Well," Jack said with a shrug, "there is always the Fountain."

Both Will and Ana sharply turned to look him in the eye. "What Fountain?" they both asked.

Jack ran into his cabin. Will and Ana shrugged to each other and followed shortly after. When they entered, Jack was looking through his wardrobe.

"What're you looking for?" Ana asked, unsure if she wanted to know the answer.

"Ah hah, this," he said bringing a rolled up parchment to a nearby table. "Now, do either of you know of the legendary Fountain of Youth?" To Will and Ana's blank stares, he rolled his eyes and continued. "Well the Fountain o' Youth is said to have properties that can say ward off illness, reverse enchantments, give strength, what have you."

"So what you're trying to say is that we might be able to save E-my great Aunt?" Ana asked.

"Aye. If only for a little while…"

Ana ran out of the room leaving only Will and Jack behind.

"But Jack, what about, you know….them."

"William," Jack said laying a hand upon Will's shoulder, "don't worry about that for now savvy. Now, we've got ourselves a bit of a side mission that is of the upmost importance to our sweet ladies onboard so it's best to not to let the moment pass us by."

"Oh Great Aunt Susanna," AnaMaria announced as she ran out on deck. The whole crew stared at her as though she was insane but she still ran to the woman.

At the moment, Elizabeth still had the little boy nearby as she was quietly staring out at sea. She turned to the woman's voice however and Ana quickly explained what had happened.

"And Jack says that he can lead us to the Fountain?" Elizabeth said, still a bit unsure.

"Yes, he says we're already a bit close as it is," Ana said.

Elizabeth thought it over for a few minutes. "Can I make it through the journey though?"

"Elizabeth," Ana whispered, coming to her side and taking her hands, "you will make it and we will get those bastards who did this to you."

Sighing a little, she squeezed Ana's hands and looked to her little boy who was still playing by himself. For him. For him and for Will she would live through this voyage. "Let's go tell them then."

While those two were having a pleasant conversation, Jack's and Will's wasn't going as smoothly.

"But Jack, it's not going to be safe! What if they find us first? I won't risk their lives, let alone my son's for something that might just be a fool's chance of actually existing," Will said.

"Well if they don't know then there's nothing to worry about!" Jack said back.

Quietly, Elizabeth and Ana with William in her arms were walking over to say they were willing to go but stopped when they saw the men arguing right in front of them and making quite a scene.

"But we've got to tell them sooner or later. They should know we've got a few psychopaths following us around the world."

"Why not later rather than sooner?"

Will could only stare at him and blink a few times before walking away in a huff.

"What was that all about?" Ana asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know but I want to find out." Elizabeth reached out her hands and Ana handed her son over as the woman went to find out what exactly was wrong with her husband and how she can help soothe his already beaten soul.

So how does this make you feel? Told you it wouldn't be easy. Fountain of Youth, here they come.
