"Give me one good reason why I should go back
to Port Royal with you," Cleo crossed her arms in front of her chest,
"I'm there," Bill smiled, "Please Cleo, come back with me,"
"OK two,"
"I'm there, and" He thought for a minute, "Cleo please just come back with me,"
"Why do I have to drop everythin' I know an' go to where you're comfortable?" She looked at him, he just looked down and she walked away. Bill watched her go over to her father and talk to him, and then turned his head to watch the sunset, Will came up alongside his son,
"You know you can stay on the Pearl," He offered, and Bill looked at him, "I'm sure you're mother wouldn't mind as long as you pay more frequent visits,"
"That's not what I'm worried about," He shook his head, "I'm leaving everything I know and going for something I've always been against,"
"But you love her," Will shrugged,
"Yes, but I loved Abigail too, and she died before I could do anything to stop it," He looked down, "What if she dies like Abigail did, right before my eyes,"
"Cleo's stronger than Abigail was," Will smiled, "she probably last longer than you would on a ship, but you're asking a lot of a woman to do, you're asking her to leave all she knows,"
"But she's doing the same to me," He insisted,
"Has she asked you to stay?" He looked at his son,
"No," Bill sighed, "Does that mean she doesn't want me?"
"No, it means she understands that you want to stay where you belong and where belongs," He nodded, "She already tried out living with us, and look what happened, she wouldn't be happy, Bill,"
"So do you think Clarissa has grown at all?" Naomi played with the sheets on the bed, while Natalie was pretending to fight air pirates with a swordstick,
"Probably," She nodded, pretending to dodge a pretend attack,
"Bigger than us?" She asked,
"Nah," Natalie shook her head, and turned to her sister, "Do you think mother will be mad at us?"
"Yes," She gave her sister a look,
"What?" She walked over to the bed and sat across from her sister,
"Its you're fault," Naomi said quietly,
"What's my fault?" She asked,
"That mother will be mad at us," She looked down,
"Maybe she'll be so glad to see us that she wont be mad at us," Natalie offered,
"I hope you're right,"
Jack looked at the girl from the wheel. She just stood there looking back at him. Her black eye was clearing up and her cuts and bruises were being treating and clearing up as well,
"So," He started, "What's you're name again?"
"'Earl," Her eyes unmoving, and for a little girl she had good balance from the rocking of the ship,
"How'd get that tattoo?" He asked,
"Brop'y gave it to me," She starred even more at him looking him up and down, "She said it wa' a clue to fin' me da,"
"That's interestin'," he nodded, "So you're me daughter," the girl nodded slowly, "ya don't anythin' like me," She looked down, "but you're welcome to stay on me ship, Cleo'll take care of ya,"
"What will I take care of?" Cleo walked over to them, and the little girl went over to her, and Cleo picked her up,
"Me," Pearl giggled,
"Pearl!" The twins shouted, "Come here we have something to show you!" Cleo put Pearl down and she went to them, Cleo walked over to her father,
"Quiet a wonder with kids," He smiled,
"I get it from me da," She smiled back,
"What did young Turner want?" He asked,
"The bloody fool wanted me to go back to Port Royal with him!" She shook her head, "I don't think I could stand it that long,"
"I know exactly what you mean, love," Jack nodded, "I wouldn't want to stay on dry land that long either,"
"With dresses, corsets...." She started,
"No rum," He finished, and a silence came between them for a while, "You're goin' to stay with him, aren't ya?"
"Have to,"
"Land ho!" A call from one to crew came, and Will, Natalie, and Naomi appeared on the deck, Jack, Pearl, Cleo and the rest of the crew came up to them,
"Well mate," Jack nodded to Will, "I'm sure this isn't goin' to be the last time I see ya,"
"You're welcome anytime time, Jack," He smiled back, and the twins rushed up to him and he bent down and gave them a hug,
"Good bye Captain Sparrow!" They broke the hug,
"No wonder why I liked ya the bes'," He patted their heads and they went to Cleo,
"Why aren't you staying?" They asked,
"I have to talk with Bill first," She whispered to them, they went back to her father's side, they waved to Pearl and she waved back, and they made their way to the rowboat,
"Wait what 'bout Bill?" Cleo asked,
"He's down in the cabin," Will smiled, "I think he needs to speak with you," She looked at him strangely, "Good luck," and the little family went in the rowboat and headed back to Port Royal. She started for the cabin, and opened the door to it, Bill stood there with his back towards her looking out the window but turned when he heard the door open,
"I thought you were goin' back to Port Royal," She smiled and placed her hands on her hips,
"I knew I would become too bored there," He smiled back and went to her. He held her chin, "Cleo I love you,"
"You don't mean it," She yanked her chin out of his grasped and looked down, and then back up at him, "People say thin's they don't mean,"
"But I do mean it," He brought her chin back up, "I love you,"
"Pirates can't love," She sighed, "Too dangerous,"
"Then we wont make it dangerous," He smiled, and kissed her, and she kissed him back, and broke it apart,
"I'll make that deal with you Mr. Turner,"
"Mother!" The twins ran to Elizabeth as she carried Clarissa in her arms, they hugged her careful not to squish the baby,
"My girls!" She smiled, "You're safe,"
"Of course we are," Natalie laughed, "but wait till we tell you what happened!"
"I think we should wait till we get home, darling," Elizabeth smiled and looked pass them, "Will!" She ran to him, and stopped right before running into him, she touched his face, "I was worried about you,"
"You don't have to worry any more," He gave her a kiss, and stroked the baby's head, "She's beautiful, just like her mother,"
"But she has her father's eyes," She smiled, and then frowned looking past him, "Where's Bill?"
"He stayed on the Black Pearl..."
"What?" Her eyes widened, "William Turner, I can't believe you...!"
"With Cleo," He smiled,
"Oh," She nodded,
"Mummy, I'm hungry," Naomi whined,
"Alright let's get back home," Elizabeth smiled and the Turners that were on dry land began to walk to their house, while the other was exploring his new one,
End! Done! Finished! No more! Yep all done, so sad I know, but good new is I get sleep! YEY! But I was getting sleep before, oh well, there's always a maybe not for sure though! I'm still working on 'Emerald's Keep Their Green'. Have fun!
"I'm there," Bill smiled, "Please Cleo, come back with me,"
"OK two,"
"I'm there, and" He thought for a minute, "Cleo please just come back with me,"
"Why do I have to drop everythin' I know an' go to where you're comfortable?" She looked at him, he just looked down and she walked away. Bill watched her go over to her father and talk to him, and then turned his head to watch the sunset, Will came up alongside his son,
