Chapter Twenty-two

Elizabeth stood there; her eyes going back and forth between the two. She knew this would be one of the biggest decisions she would make in her life.

"Uh...I...uh..." she didn't know.

She looked to her left and there was Jack looking at her with such desire in his eyes. But then at the right was Will. The man she had loved for ten years. But then again she did have a daughter out there somewhere, and she knew that if she went with Jack they would find her someday.

Elizabeth closed her eyes for a moment, and then looked back to Will. She kissed him softly on the lips and then looked deep into his eyes.

"...I'm sorry..." she said in a whisper.

With that she turned to Jack and smiled. Jack smiled back and wrapped his arms around her. Elizabeth closed her eyes and inhaled his intoxicating smell of the sea breeze. She knew she had made the right choice.

Or so she thought...

Will stood there looking at the two with pain in his eyes. You didn't have to ask if he was all right. The pain in his eyes said enough. It wasn't just his heart that was hurt it was his soul. The girl he had loved for ten years was not his any longer.

He couldn't stand the pain. As Jack and Elizabeth began to walk off they heard Will say, "Elizabeth..." he said very calmly. Elizabeth turned to Will. She walked back over to him.

"Yes Will?"

"Just remember that I will always love you...no matter what..."

Elizabeth walked closer to Will and gave him a hug.

"As will I." She whispered in his ear.

As Elizabeth walked off with Jack Will stood there still at the alter. He didn't say anything he simply lowered his head and walked away. As he walked away the ring he had been hold fell from his hand and into the dirt.

He didn't care, he could never find anyone that could replace Elizabeth. His meaning of life was gone. There was nothing left. Elizabeth was everything to him.

Will just walked back to the shop, closed the door and laid down on his bed in the back room. He then closed his eyes, and drifted off into sleep.

In hand and hand Elizabeth and Jack walked back to the Pearl. Suddenly out of the blue Jack stopped and turned to Elizabeth.

"Why did ye choose me love?" he asked.

"Because I loved you." She replied.

"Then why did ye almost bit me head off last time ye saw me?"

"Was confused. I didn't know what I wanted, but now I know where I belong." She said with a smile.

Jack smiled and gave Elizabeth a kiss. They then began to walk back to the Pearl once more. Back at the Pearl as they walked aboard Elizabeth thought, "This shall be my new home." She was excited but part of hr would miss Port Royal.

As Jack helped Elizabeth aboard Gibbs walked over to see what had happened.

"So??? What happened mate??" Gibbs asked impatiently.

Just then Elizabeth's head popped up, and Jack lifted her up, and onto the ship.

"Hello Mr. Gibbs. Its wonderful to see you again." Elizabeth said cheerfully. A big grin formed on Gibbs face. He turned to Jack. Jack knew what Gibbs was thinking.

"Yes, yes Gibbs she chose me." Gibbs turned to Elizabeth and gave her a hug.

"Welcome back Liz!" he said happily.

"Thank you Gibbs." She said kindly.

Jack took Elizabeth's hand and lead her to the end of the ship, so they could be alone. They stood there for moments looking at the sea when Jack turned to Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth?" Jack asked. Elizabeth turned to Jack.

"Yes?"

"Well I know that ye just broke it off with Will and all...but do ye think that ye might want to..." Jack didn't know what else to say, instead he got down on one knee and looked at Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth...would marry me?" he asked nervously. Elizabeth smiled.

"Jack, of course I will."

Jack smiled in relief and pulled a ring out of his pocket. It was a gold ring with none other then a small pearl on it. Elizabeth smiled.

"Figures" she said. Jack just chuckled to himself.

"Aye. I thought it might be suitable since we's be living on a Pearl" he said still smiling.

In that case I want to give you something too Jack." Elizabeth pulled off the necklace around her neck and gave it to Jack.

"A black pearl." Jack said.

"Aye." Elizabeth said.

"Thank ye Elizabeth." Jack said. Still smiling the two walked down to Jack's quarters. They walked in and laid down on the bed. It felt so good to be back she thought to herself as she laid there with Jack's arm around her.

"Jack?" she said.

"Aye?" Jack replied.

"Do you think we will ever find Pearl?" Elizabeth asked hopefully.

"Trust me love, I be lookin."

"Really?" Elizabeth asked a little surprised. Jack then sat up.

"Aye, I want her just as much as you do." He said.

"true..." Elizabeth said.

"Liz, lets not worry about it at the moment. Lets just enjoy this night...savvy?" he said with his hand on her cheek. Elizabeth smiled.

"Savvy."
