e makes me do a double take, the world freezes when I'm around him, when I look into his eyes, when I see him smile. I get lost in those eyes, those pools that I drown in, that captivated me so many times. I'm bursting to tell him what's lingering over my heart but my breath catches, for fear that he won't feel the same. I want to tell him how good it feels when he looks at me that way. I dream about him every night. He's always on my mind. Maybe… just maybe… he feels the same about me…

If only he'd understand…

If only…

Chapter Fifteen: Choosing Names & Back Again

"So, what names do you like?" asked Juliet that night to Will. "I mean, he or she can't go walking around nameless for the rest of their life!"

Will grinned, placing a hand on her stomach. "I like Will Turner III for a boy, and Natalie if it's a girl."

Juliet sighed. "William Jonathan Turner III or Natalie Katherine Turner."

Will set her on his lap, placing his chin on her head. "Perfect," he whispered, kissing the top of her head. They sat in silence for a few minutes, the pair of them looking out the window of their room at the stars, listening to each other's breathing and the splash of the sea.

"Will?" Juliet asked.

"Yes?" he whispered.

"Where will we go? Barbossa knows we'll go back to Port Royal; we can't have him follow us now that we're a family."

Will's hand pressed harder onto her stomach. "I should have killed him when I had the chance…" he whispered. "It's all my fault in the first place—"

"Don't you go blaming this on yourself, Will, it's not your fault!" she said fiercely.

"Yes it is! If I wouldn't have followed Elizabeth the kiss wouldn't have happened and you would have been with me that night and I could have protected you!"

"It's okay…" she whispered, turning around and wrapping her arms around him. "Everyone makes mistakes, you didn't know what she was going to do."

He stroked her hair. "You don't know how much I love you…"

"Yes, I knew the moment you rescued me from Barbossa."

He smiled. "Well, if you do know, then I think you know what I'm going to ask you now…"

Juliet smiled. Just as Will opened his mouth, they heard a scream.

More than one, in fact.

Then… "WILL! WE NEED YE OUT 'ERE!" Jack yelled. Metal on metal. Swords clashing together. Barbossa's crew was back on the ship!

Will leapt up off the floor and ran to the door, unsheathing his sword as he went. Juliet came to him as his hand was over the doorknob.

"Wait!" she said, touching his arm. "Be careful." He kissed her lips.

"Lock yourself in," he said, opening the door. "I'm not going to lose you again." He shut the door and Juliet turned the key.

Will ran out onto the deck. His eyes widened. How did they find us so fast? He thought to himself. Just then, a pirate lunged for him and Will thrust his sword through his stomach instantly. He ran forward, trying to find Jack. He did after a couple seconds, and he had just killed the pirate he was fighting.

"Where's Jules?" he said so only Will could hear him.

"I locked her in our room," said Will under his breath.

"Smart," said Jack, lunging for a pirate about to attack Will. Then, Will saw Barbossa climb onto the ship. His leg was wrapped in a bandage, stained red from his blood. He spotted Will, then yelled out in fury, leaping over.

"You did this to me," he hissed. His sword sliced through the air towards Will, but he blocked it. The sound rang out.

Will looked at him coldly. "It was for a good cause."

Barbossa lunged for another attack and Will ducked and moved out of the way. They continued fighting and then Barbossa asked another question.

"An act of love, I assume?"

Will thrust his sword forward but Barbossa moved out of the way. "Yes."

Barbossa let out another yell of fury and made to decapitate Will. His eyes widened. He ducked just in time and ran a few feet away, Barbossa limping behind him.

"YOU WON'T GET AWAY, TURNER!" he screamed.

As if he had a sudden burst of energy and adrenaline, he bolted forward at Will. Will turned around as Barbossa pointed his sword, grinning maniacally and maliciously. As if in slow motion, Barbossa yelled out, and Will's eyes widened, trying to move out of the way.

But he was too late.

He fell to the ground, screaming as loud as he could.

Okay, now THAT was evil!!!! Maybe I'll get a lot of reviews? Nudge nudge wink wink… okay! I'd like to say CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT MY MIDDLE SCHOOL WHO GRADUATE TONIGHT… I LOVE YOU GUYS! Now we're gonna PARTY OUR HEADS OFF!!! WOOOOOWOOOOOO!!! LOL!
