Epilogue: The End:
Finally, Julia and Bill were able to exchange their marriage vows. Surprisingly, Lara broke down and cried as the newlywed Turners kissed, and Elizabeth broke down a moment after. The two friends then embraced each other in comfort as their husbands rolled their eyes at the sight of their wives crying and clinging to one another. Jay also rolled his eyes, though Kat dabbed her eyes at the lovely sight of her sister getting married. Also invited to the wedding were Thomas and Lord Holloway. Since he was the bride's grandfather, Lord Holloway had obviously been invited, but Thomas was there at the insistence of both the bride and groom's families, just so that he could see Julia marry Bill. Throughout the entire ceremony, Thomas was kept bound and gagged to a chair so that he wouldn't cause any trouble, but since he was paralyzed from the waist down, all that he could have done was yell and scream his protests.
After the ceremony had concluded, the newlyweds fled down the aisle towards the Governor's home, where there were tables full of food and drinks for the guests. Of course, the crew immediately headed for the alcohol. They were closely followed by Jack, who quickly returned to his family with two glasses of wine, offering one to his wife. As the two older Sparrows sat and talked with their children, friends, and the newlyweds, Lord Holloway approached them, causing the group to fall into silence.
"I hope that I'm not interrupting something," the lord said, bowing slightly.
Julia smiled. "Of course not, Grandfather," she said, waving towards an empty chair next to her. "Won't you sit down?"
"My dear, I have a special offer for you and your husband and family," Lord Holloway stated as he took the proffered chair. The others leaned in closer. "I hope that you realize that I won't be alive forever, and that I am a very wealthy man. I also hope you realize that once your parents are older, they will not be able to live a full life on the Black Pearl. I am offering your parents a comfortable, honorable life in Port Royal after they are no longer fit for the life of piracy." The Sparrow family stared at him in shock. "When I return to England, I will have a large sum of money invested in a house and servants in Port Royal for your parents to use when they're no longer able to sail."
"My lord," Jack began, but was silenced by Lord Holloway.
"I have behaved poorly towards you and your family, Captain Sparrow, and I would like to make it up to you somehow," Lord Holloway replied. He then turned towards the newlyweds. "Julia, Bill, I would also like to invest in a home for the two of you to live in when children are born to you. I know that you would like your children to be raised onboard the Pearl, but perhaps you would feel better having them on a ship when they are less likely to pester the crew or to fall overboard because they are not being watched?" Julia and Bill exchanged a look before Bill answered.
"Your generosity is much appreciated, milord," Bill said, bowing in his seat. "And we would gladly accept this offer, provided that you aren't asking anything in return."
Lord Holloway shifted uncomfortably for a moment. "Actually, there is something I would like in return," he said. The others frowned. "All I ask is that you visit once and a while so that I may see my great- grandchildren and get to know them better than I got to know you." The rest of the group relaxed.
"I think that could be arranged," Jack said, waving his hands around. The others, including Lord Holloway, smiled.

Two years later:
Lord William Holloway stood in his now preferred home in Port Stephens. For some reason, having Thomas in his manor made it feel a bit different than it had before. He could have had Thomas moved elsewhere, but he had promised his granddaughter to keep Thomas in the manor under heavy guard.
He smiled at the thought of his granddaughter, her husband, and their family aboard the Black Pearl. He had gotten to know Captain Sparrow a bit better and found him to be a very clever and outspoken fellow, and the crew of the Pearl was in the same mind as their captain. Pirates really weren't that bad, actually; they were quite amusing people. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
"Yes, what is it?" he called. A butler walked in with a letter on a silver tray.
"This letter just arrived for you, milord," the butler stated, bowing as he offered the letter.
"Thank you, Charles," Lord Holloway replied, taking the letter. The butler bowed and left the lord to himself. Lord Holloway opened the letter, his heart soaring, for it was from Julia.
~~~~~~~~~
"Dear Grandfather,
I hope that you are well. Mum and Dad are fine, as are Jay and Kat. Jay found a 20 year old serving girl in Tortuga called Melody that he rather fancies, and she is quite the lovely little thing, with large green eyes and light brown hair. He even brought her onboard, and the food on the Pearl has drastically improved, since she helps Mum, Kat and I in the galley. I think that they might marry the next time we're in Port Royal.
Kat complains that everyone in the family is paired off except for her, but she hasn't seen the way the new cabin boy stares at her. His name is Joseph, he is twenty three years of age, and he has black hair and gray eyes, which somewhat attracts Kat towards him, but they aren't together yet. Mum and I are working on that, though.
Now comes the most important part of the letter. Grandfather, do you remember how I told you that I was expecting a baby? Well, Bill and I had it at sea, as we were heading for Port Royal, and it is a girl. We've named her Anne, for your lost daughter and for Annamaria, who helped me birth her. The Black Pearl will be in France on the third week of March, in Port Frances in Normandy. I know Bill and I promised to keep our children in Port Royal until they were older, but we truly want you to see our new blessing. We hope you will be in France to meet us and our new arrival. We miss you a great deal and hope to see you on the docks to greet us in March.
Love, Julia
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord Holloway smiled. It was presently March, and the Pearl would be in France in less than two weeks. Hopefully he would be able to be there to meet them. He also hoped to be more understanding towards this babe than he had been towards his own daughter and granddaughters. He could hardly wait to see her!
He rang the bell, which was answered by the same butler as before.
"Charles, please have all of my servants know that I will be leaving at once for Port Frances in Normandy," Lord Holloway informed him.
"May I inquire as to why you will be going, my lord?" asked the butler.
Lord Holloway smiled as he picked up the letter and looked at it. "I have some very important family business to attend to."
