Reviewers:
fRoZeN tIgEr TeArS and Jeshika-chan: Wow. I didn't think you two would like it that much! I actually thought you might not like it because I thought it was slightly rushed… ish? But since you like it so much, and I kinda don't want to end it either, JUST FOR YOU TWO, I'm gonna write a sequel, so… any good ideas? Send 'em my way. And Jeshika? Cap'n Andy is dead… very… dead. Hehe. Maybe something regarding Kendra's mother??? Lemme know you two, since you are like, the only ones who review. Plus, I'm fresh out of LOTR ideas, so that's out hehe. -grins-
Of course, ANY one else who read this can give me ideas as well!! –winkwink-
A/N: IMPORTANT! I changed Kendra's age. I thought she would go better as a younger girl, so she was ten when they found her in the ship.

One Year Later
The sun was setting below the horizon when Will Turner finally returned home from his blacksmiths shop. When he went in the front door, he saw that the mail had been set on the table beside the door, but other than that, it was untouched. He shifted through it. Some cards from friends about their one year anniversary that was three days ago, and, at the very bottom, there was something from Norrington. This one he picked up and carried to the parlor where he found his wife.
Elizabeth Turner was sitting on the couch, holding a small bundle in her arms. She was smiling at it, and singing a song in a low voice. Will slipped into the parlor unnoticed, and walked around the back of the couch. Elizabeth finished her song, and Will leaned down and kissed her cheek. She jumped. "Will, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that?" She asked, faking angry. Will grinned and walked back around the couch and sat down.
"At least once more, Miss Turner, as always." He said. Elizabeth laughed and pushed him gently. Will leaned over and looked down into the face of their three-month old son, a little tuft of dark, curly hair peeking out from the blanket he was wrapped in. "Hello Little Lee." He said affectionately. Elizabeth smiled at her two boys. The older one leaned over and kissed his wife.
Will suddenly remembered the letter from Norrington. "We got something from the Commodore today." Will said, opening the envelope. Elizabeth watch, and he opened it and pulled out a small card. On it, in fancy lettering was this: 'You are invited to attention the marriage of Commodore James Norrington and Caroline Berkley. Please check if you will or will not attend, and list how many people are in your party.' Elizabeth smiled again.
"I'm so glad he found someone." She said. Will nodded.
"Me too. He finally stopped hating me." Will commented, placing the invitation down on the couch.
"He never hated you." Elizabeth said, slightly uneasy. Will raised an eyebrow.
"Come now Elizabeth. You know as well as I do that he hated me. But ever since Caroline entered his life, he has been nicer, and happier. He stopped in today just to say hi." Will said.
"I can't figure out if you are defending him or praising him." Elizabeth commented.
"Both." Will said simply. There was a knock at the door as he said this. Will was about to get it, when the doorman beat him to it. "I will never get used to having people answer the door for me." Will said to his wife, and she grinned. Suddenly, a girl burst through the doors of the parlor, blond hair flying out behind her in loose curls.
"Hi Will! Hi Elizabeth!" She said happily.
"Hi Kendra." Will said. Kendra was 11 now, and she and Will had finally sat down and talked, and decided they liked each other. Now Kendra came over almost everyday, since it was all too easy for her to do.
"Guess what?!" She said excitedly, sitting down on the couch between Will and Elizabeth.
"What?" They asked together.
"Caroline asked me to be the flower girl for their wedding!" She said.
"That's wonderful!" Elizabeth said. Kendra nodded.
"She said we're going shopping tomorrow for a dress!" Will and Elizabeth smiled at each other over her head.
"That's wonderful." Will said. She nodded. The doorman came into the parlor.
"Pardon the interruption, but Mary from next door is asking for Kendra. It seems she snuck out while she was supposed to be getting ready for bed." The doorman said with a smirk on his face. Kendra smiled sheepishly.
"Ok. Bye bye Will! Bye bye Elizabeth." She said. She looked over at the baby in Elizabeth's arms. "Bye bye little Lee." She said. Then she skipped out of the room and followed the doorman back to the door.
"Her speech has improved." Will said. Elizabeth looked at him and raised her eyebrows.
"Whatever you say, my dear." She said standing up. Will rolled his eyes and followed her upstairs. Elizabeth set the baby down in the cradle that was situated beside their bed. The moonlight cast a beam of light over the cradle. Will and Elizabeth looked down at their creation. Will slipped his arm around Elizabeth, and kissed her. She smiled, and led the two of them outside onto the balcony.
They stood bathed in the moonlight. Elizabeth snuggled up close to her husband, and Will held her tightly. "It seems everyone has found their place." Elizabeth said, looking out at the water.
"Indeed they have." He replied.
"Life is perfect." Elizabeth commented before kissing Will and retreating into the house.
Although it seemed life was perfect, it wouldn't last for long.
