Chapter 7 - Reunion

"Three of them are rowing in from the Pearl. Looks like Sparrow, a woman and a young man." Therese said as she used her telescope from just inside the cave her and Bill were in.

"A Woman? Wonder who that could be?" Bill asked aloud.

"Should we go out to meet them?" Therese asked

"What? And ruin Jack's fun - not in this lifetime!" Bill laughed, "Don't worry lass, he'll find us soon enough.

Jack had spotted the small cave from the beach and immediately headed for it with Will and Ana Maria close behind.

As they approached the cave entrance Jack heard a faint rustle in the bushes, as he turned to see what it was two men and a woman burst through the brush with cutlasses in hand, surrounding the group instantly.

"Who are ye and why are ye here?" Therese demanded with the point of her sword on Will's throat.

"That's be Bill's son luv! And I don't think he'd like you cuttin' his throat before they have a chance to get reacquainted, savvy?" Jack said.

Therese dropped her sword slightly, "Bill's son?" she said confused, "It can't be..you're dead!"

"I thought the same about my father, but I have been told I've been misled!" Will replied

"Aye, ye have!" Therese said, "I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it with me own eyes! You are the spit of Bill, only younger!"

"So I've been told!" Will said

Therese dropped her sword and turned to Jack.

"Nice to see you again Captain Sparrow!" she said

"And you lass! I've worried over ye many nights since we last met." Jack said, "I see though that you survived your ordeal!"

"Aye, I be alive at least!" Therese replied. "Bill be anxious to talk to ye, and I'm sure to see his son as well. Follow me!"

They followed Therese into the cave, which she knew like the back of her hand. They followed a winding tunnel which eventually opened into a large cavern, with several small caverns leading from it.

"Wait here, aye? I'll be getting' Bill." She said as she went into one of the smaller caverns.

Part 2

Will watched her walk away in awe. A vision she was. Tall for a woman, standing near 5 foot 8. She had long raven black hair that was held in place by a green bandana that matched her eyes. She was dressed in usual pirate garb, a loose white shirt covered by a black vest and green sash around her waist. She wore form fitting black pants with worn knee high black leather boots.

She was equipped not only with the cutlass she had held at his throat earlier, but also a flintlock pistol in her sash and boot daggers in both of her boots.

She walked with confidence and Will had seen both intelligence and passion in her eyes.

It was the first time in months that Will's head had been void of thoughts of Elizabeth.

Part 3

"He's 'ere Bill!" she said as she entered the room. "The woman be his first mate Ana Maria, not something you see often!"

"The young man be a crewman then?" Bill asked

"Aye, that he is, but there is more to it then that." She replied

"What are ye talking about girl?" he demanded

"Well, the young man..he be your son Bill." She replied softly. "The young man is Will Tuner."

"Will?" Bill whispered, "Alive..my son..is it possible?"

He slowly rose from the chair and headed for the large cavern. As he entered the cavern Jack and the boy had their backs to them. Jack sensed his movement and turned his way, a huge smile breaking out on his face at the sight of his old friend.

Bill let his eyes take in what he was seeing. Will slowly turned and looked at Bill. It was like looking into his past, Will looked exactly as Bill had twenty years earlier.

"My son!" he whispered, tears filling his eyes.

"Father?" Will said questioningly - a look of wonder on his face.

Father and son made their way towards each other slowly, never breaking eye contact. They came to a halt about a foot apart. A smile slowly spread across Bill's face.

"Will, my boy!" he exclaimed as he pulled him into an embrace. Both men crying freely now. "Blessed be! I thought ye dead my boy! Never did I think my tired eyes would look upon ye again!

"Nor I you father!" Will replied

Part 4

Therese watched the reunion through teary eyes. Many times Bill had told her about his son. Each time she had seen the mixture of pride and loss in his eyes.

She couldn't believe the similarities between the two men. The same dark curly hair, deep brown eyes and square jaw. The two even carried themselves in the same manner.

Watching the men break apart with tears in their eyes suddenly gave her the overwhelming desire to hold Will Turner and take away his lifetime of pain and loss. She had seen more pain in his eyes than would be caused by the loss of his father.

She felt as though they were kindred spirits, she would spend some of this voyage getting to know this man.

For the first time in her life she was looking at a man with a romantic interest. After all that Quinn had done to her she hadn't thought that was possible.

"I hate to break up this reunion!" Jack's voice brought her back to reality. "But I do believe we have some talking to do!"

"Aye!" Bill replied, "Therese, Ryan, George..gather your things - we be headin to the Pearl!"
